10 February 2021: NHS surgeon who accidentally set patient on fire wins £65,000 payout
The Royal College of Surgeons raised concerns about 57 year old Nigerian doctor Obi Iwuchukwu’s ability but an employment panel was highly critical that he was sacked.
The tribunal panel heard that in another incident he clashed with a German co-worker who told him ‘we are not operating out of a hut in Congo’.
Mr Iwuchukw, who moved to Sunderland from Nigeria in 2007 and worked at South Tyneside & Sunderland NHS Trust. He is now in Cornwall earning £100,000 a year working for the NHS on supervised operations.

The Government is arguably condoning it because it is happening in plain sight and the people had been taken to hotels for full board and spends. They appear to be taken to less comfortable accommodation now and stamping their feet. That illustrates they were told to expect a gold plated benefits and accommodation package and that is what they will eventually receive.

Set up safe employment return facilities outside Europe for all economic migrants. Make it clear that all new arrivals will have to work to repay transport costs and it will be safer for all as they will stop arriving uninvited.
