Every once in a while, a medical mishap occurs in Nigeria that draws the attention of the population to the fact that people are posing as doctors who are not real doctors. Or in a different instance, they are practising doctors but their license has been revoked due to a disciplinary problem. But they have not seen it fit to discontinue practice until the licence is restored or never. Another of the bunch are the ones who have not registered altogether but are right in the practice of treating people. Normally, it is not as soon as you're out of medical school you get included in the list of registered doctors in Nigeria.
In case you're not sure of the significance of a doctor being registered, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria is responsible for setting medical standards that must be adhered to at all times in practice. They have processes in place before a doctor is registered.

Conclusion
In the face of rising impersonation of Nigerian medical doctors, Sahara Reporters partnered with Code for Nigeria to launch a toolkit called Dodgy Doctors. You can check if the doctor you're meeting is registered with this toolkit. Just type in the name of the doctor and send. Then wait for the database to confirm whether your doctor is registered or not.
