After making a remark on the increasing lack of doctors in Nigeria, media personality and Nigerian influencer Enioluwa ignited a contentious discussion on Twitter (now X).

Concerns about the widespread exodus of medical professionals leaving the nation were brought to light by Enioluwa Ade’s statement, which was made in response to the recent #MatchDay2025 festivities.

He voiced his worries about the shortage of doctors and the impact on patients in his post.

“Very soon, there won’t be enough Doctors to treat people in Nigeria. The best of that field will have left the country. Congratulations to you all on your #MatchDay2025. You deserve to exist in a country that rewards your hard work,” the actor wrote.

As can be expected, his post generated reactions on the microblogging site.

Some criticised him for implying that the “best of the field” would be the ones departing Nigeria, implying that it diminished the skill of the medical professionals who have stayed in the nation, even though he was right about the lack of medical workers.

Very soon, there won't be enough Doctors to treat people in Nigeria. The best of that field will have left the country.

Congratulations to you all on your #MatchDay2025. You deserve to exist in a country that rewards your hard work.

“Very soon? There’s not enough doctors right now.

“I remember the last time I followed my late dad for an appointment in LUTH,we got there early, dropped a card but a nurse announced that consultants are few because they have all travelled out and the ones available will attend to few. My dad died 5 months later.”

“Very soon??? Have you seen how little we are already in government hospitals??? Nobody Dey again”

“This statement is wrong Boss. It’s insulting to those who are home doing their best with the limited resources. Na money never make some of them leave not brilliance. Please advocate and encourage those who are still around to care for our family home .”

“You can complain about the numbers but do not infer that the ones who left are better.”

“What you are telling me is that the comprehension problem even affects educated doctors???? Because why are they reading this tweet as he is saying the best did not match!! Maybe it’s just anger and sadness, if not, we seriously have a problem.”

“Maybe just congratulate those that matched and move on. So the ones that stayed back in Nigeria are not good. Ehn ehn funny people.”
