Abstract

While a majority of literature by Nigerian scholars adduce that economic and political factors were responsible for the menace of brain drain plaguing the medical profession and other highly skilled professionals in Nigeria. The review of literature in this area seems not to capture the view of any known Nigerian scholar who identifies the media as a factor capable of influencing the rising migratory trend of skilled professionals exiting to more viable economies abroad. Maslow's theory of needs, Marilyn's Ex-post facto research design and Creswell's mixed method approach which allows for the combined or separate use of qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing data and arguments on the subject of migration, in line with the objectives of the chapter, were utilized. The mass media is identified as a pertinent factor capable of negatively or positively influencing the high turnover of brain drain cases amongst skilled professionals in Nigeria. The chapter suggested some steps necessary for curbing the menace of brain drain amongst doctors and other professionals in Nigeria.
