A Nigerian medical doctor who relocated to the UK shared his story, revealing that his six-month salary abroad was more than his total earnings from seven years of hard work in Nigeria. While many congratulated him and used his story to highlight Nigeria’s poor working conditions, one user responded negatively, saying, “No keep quiet dey make your money, cho cho cho will soon bring you back.”
This kind of comment is unnecessary and discouraging. The doctor’s post was not boastful but an honest comparison showing how differently skilled workers are valued abroad. Telling him to “keep quiet” only shuts down important conversations about the challenges professionals face in Nigeria — conversations that could inspire change. Speaking up about real issues should not be seen as pride; it’s part of raising awareness and demanding better systems at home
