What do you know about Nigeria has a mental health problem?

The article states that 1 in 4 Nigerians suffer from a form of mental illness, which totals to about 50 million Nigerians. In addition, it does not help that 9 out of every 10 doctors in Nigeria are seeking to leave the country to find work in other places. As a result, outside of doctor's offices, there continues to be long lines for people waiting to get treatment. There are shortages of doctors, and each doctor in Nigeria tends to see 50-80 patients a day, so each patient is only communicating with the doctor for about 4-5 minutes, which is only adding to the problem.
