We educate them for free with allowances and that's how they repay the country... Very unpatriotic ungrateful Ghanaians.. Cuba irrespective of how poor they were, their doctors moved with the blessings of the government which trained them. And it was making money by exporting the excess doctors in Cuba

You seem to be forgetting that Akufo-Addo advised Ghanaians to say something whenever they see something. These fleeing nurses have seen how Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have looted, mismanaged and collapsed the the economy and the country, and they just had to say it.

Nurses and Teacher trainees must be made to pay school fees just like others. And the so-called allowances must be scrapped, too.
It is rather sad and disappointing that none of our political leaders and Presidents have the balls to revoke all of those politically tinged expenses.
However, JHS & SHS must be free across Ghana.
Until the corruption & mismanagement & The Agyapade Document destructive objectives are rooted out, such brain drain and the voluntary transfer & flight of human capital will never end. And such will continually remain our portion.

Chale they finished their course 4 years ago and still no work. Can you image the burden they have been on their families, along with the embarrassment and insults they must have endured? They secured their own way to the UK. Which means they probably sold some properties and are now indebt. Should they have continue to stay in GH and wait for government and not take initiative to help themselves all in the name of patriotism? Wishing them safe travel and hope they make it.

Guys, if you've got the chance to travel, just shoosh up and go. It's wise not to burn any bridges before you leave. You talk of collapsed country as if you know what a collapsed country look like. Ok.. you come here and see. I have been overseas for over 30 years and can't wait to see you here. You get the chance to travel and all of a sudden your home is shit. Is that so? Ok.. time will tell. To those left in Ghana, I have much respect for you. And if you get the chance to travel, please do. But remember that home be home. Cheers.

The tax payers money is gone. Let's continue to pay more trainee allowances. That is the most sensible decision we have ever made as a nation.

I strongly advise our fellow Ghanaians to really make the effort to do very thorough research before they make their way abroad to countries likes the UK.
RIGHT NOW GOING THERE AND GETTING A JOB HAS BECOME THE VERY EASY PART.THE MOST DIFFICULT AND MOST CHALLENGING PART THESE DAYS IS BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN CITIES LIKE LONDON, BIRMINGHAM ,MANCHESTER ETC AND THIS IS MUCH WORSE IF YOU HOPE TO BRING YOUR FAMILY EVENTUALLY.
Also growing hostility towards foreigners as things get harder and harder for everybody is something our professionals and others hoping to go abroad need to keep at the back of their mind.
The rising cost of living ( i.e. cost of rent, cost of transportation, cost of food, costs associated with schooling , various taxes too numerous to list here) has made living in cities and bigger towns in Western Europe including the UK almost unbearable for newly arriving migrants. The problem is that most jobs available can be found mainly in the bigger population centers such as the cities and large towns which also happen to be the most expensive places to live in.
IF YOU INSIST ON GOING ABROAD THEN IT IS IN YOUR OWN INTEREST TO PLAN VERY METICULOUSLY.
BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU COULD EASILY END UP REPLACING ONE SET OF PROBLEMS IN GHANA WITH DIFFERENT BUT MUCH TOUGHER ONES WHILE LIVING AND WORKING ABROAD.
The streets of London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Hamburg and even New York sadly are not paved with gold.

You have not seen anything yet for being dishonest people. I am sure most of you will have no choice but to accept posting to nursing homes to take care of old and vulnerable patients in order to earn a living. Most of you voted out Mahama for trainees allowance because you thought it was the right thing to do despite all the warnings. Life in abroad is not all that easy as portrayed by many ignorant people. I hope that the young one after will not allow politicians to deceive them into voting aimlessly you have done and now running away.

Bredda any serious country with a serious president will stop this nonesense from happening..can the Govt of Ghana go to Uk and be luring their young nurses or unemployed graduates to Ghana? The answer is No..the Uk Govt is stupid to be doing this..if any foreign Govt did this to the Uk citizens, it would be termed as kidnapping..sometimes I weep for mother Ghana for giving us such stupid leaders..this right here is not good..this is kidnapping because the Uk Govt knows that we have stupid politicians in Ghana..the development of Ghana has been delayed because of this brain drain issue is stopped, this country Ghana..Apart from cheddar, not a single presidential candidate is talking about this problem..until Africa stands up to this kind of bullying by the Uk and some western countries, the development of Africa will forever be stagnant..nurses, doctors, teachers( All essential workers) should not be allowed to be kidnapped to another country..that’s stupidity on the part of the Ghanaian Govt..somebody got to stand up to this stupid bullying
