For the FR forum.

Here’s an example from a Nigerian forum’s health section.

Someone’s posting FUD thread, associating rumor of American Dr’s arrival and his MIL’s illness. To their great credit intelligent Nigerians piled on this fool and pointed out that these Nigerians who had studied and trained abroad had returned to their homeland to serve their people.

Many Nigerian MD’s have trained abroad. Many of them stayed abroad but many also returned home.

My pediatrician in Lagos had trained at Oxford. Our preacher’s daughter was trained as a Pediatrician somewhere in the US. She had a practice in the US for a while but returned to Nigeria when her parents needed someone to care for them as they got older.

Nigerians love a good conspiracy though. I’ve been watching some Nollywood ‘soap opera’ type programs on youtube. One of the soaps plans to kill off most of its characters with ebola. It’s fascinating to me how much Lagos and Nigeria have changed in the past 40 years. 40 years ago they were like the pictures from Monrovia. Now Lagos is more like Mexico City.
