The caption delved into her life as a doctor, explaining that in her home country, she earned an annual salary of £1,200, equivalent to GH₵21,000. Fast forward after relocating to the UK, she now earns a basic annual salary of £52,000, equivalent to GH₵910,000
She also criticised the Nigerian health system, claiming it undervalues doctors, adding that she made an early decision to relocate abroad.
She concluded by saying she would be sharing her relocation journey in detail to inspire and motivate others:
“From a tired doctor with big dreams to a UK doctor living them. Growth looks good on me. Being born and raised in a system where doctors are undervalued, I made an early decision to seek a health system where my work, time, and skills would be respected. From my 100 level in medical school, I started intentionally working towards that goal, step by step, even when it felt far away. I’ll be sharing my relocation journey in detail to inspire and guide anyone who feels stuck or unseen. If I can do it, so can you,” her caption read.

“If you were working in a hospital that pays poorly, the average pay in a good hospital is at least $10,000–$15,000 annually, which is still low.”
Scar added:
“I work in residential care for autistic adults, and most of my colleagues are Nigerians, they are some of the nicest colleagues I have ever had!”
Botcheno added:
“Nigeria doesn’t need doctors? If money is what makes you happy, why not go to higher-paying countries?”
