Returning to the Motherland - An African-American's Perspective - Part 2 In this concluding episode, we talked about Nollywood, Mr. James' DNA analysis, and how African-Americans can reconnect to the Motherland. PS: Turned out Bill is 7% Nigerian! Wait, what? Y'all know that there's nothing like being 7% Nigerian; you are either Nigerian or not, using the one drop rule of course. Along that line, Dear Nigerians and Middle Earthers, it is my utmost pleasure to reintroduce and welcome back one of our very own, Mr. Bàbáwálé (/Baba wahlay/ meaning father has come home) Bill James to the Motherland. We have accepted him and can't wait for him to really come home, whenever he sure chooses to. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mosibyl/support

우리는 아프리카 인입니다| The One with Bola - Just Between Africans and African Americans: Episode 4 Part 1

Just Between Africans and African Americans - An African's Perspective - Part 1 The relationship between Africans and African Americans has been historically fraught, due to several factors such as misconceptions, media portrayals of stereotypes of both sides, and carryover (negative) sentiments. As a result, these stereotypes are patronizing and ultimately damaging. In this episode, I sit down with an old friend who has a lot to say on this issue. It all started with a Facebook post she put up sometime in January of this year (see below). This is Part 1. Bola At: Somehow I have managed to enrage a small community of African Americans, all due to a structureless, baseless notion that Africans hate African Americans(Not true). Who comes up with all these misconceptions anyway?? It is quite sad to accept the misguidance and the reverse-engineered mentality some have. Why the sensitivity and division? Africans have a rigid culture worn like a badge of honor. Failing to embrace or assimilate to a certain culture isn't necessarily hate, and while most African elders disapprove of certain western behaviors, most of us ( younger generation)still try to assimilate and get smacked for it (😂😂). To the African, respect, and honor go hand in hand. Everything you do in this world is reflective of your household; therefore you are expected to BEHAVE ( which some translated as trying to be "white" I detest that statement so much). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mosibyl/support

내 나라| The One with Dr. Tom - A Nigerian International Medical Graduate in the US: Episode 3 Part 2

In this concluding episode of my interview with Dr. Tom, we provided solutions towards addressing the brain drain problem. For the developing countries like Nigeria, we need more policies with strong nationalistic basis. Beyond just increasing salaries, which can result in inflation, we need to make Nigeria a country worth fighting for. Implementation of policies with an all-hands-on-deck approach and though counterintuitive, encouraging more brain-drain but with the South Koreanesque twist. This is Part 2 and the conclusion of the talk. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mosibyl/support

According to the WHO, migration of health workers or ‘brain drain’ is defined as the movement of health personnel in search of the better standard of living and life quality, higher salaries, access to advanced technology and more stable political conditions in different places worldwide. A report recently released in Nigeria showed that eight out of 10 medical doctors representing 88% of medical doctors in Nigeria are currently seeking job opportunities abroad. The survey, which was conducted by NOI Polls, in collaboration with Nigeria Health Watch, revealed that Nigeria has about 75,000 doctors are registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), with only about 35,000 within the nation’s shores. In this episode, I sit down with one of these medical doctors who is currently doing his residency here in the US.
