As a medical doctor practicing in Nigeria after medical training in Afe Babalola University, I get physically sick sometimes when I see my pay slip.
My salary is a serious insult to the investment in my education.
My mother mistakenly saw what I was being paid last year. I will never forget the look of disappointment I saw on her face.
