calebo101:

Please i beg of you tell me the names of the competent candidates we have. And also tell me which government reign in Nigeria was not smeared with corruption. I am willing to learn. Thanks

Before I proceed, I would like to remind you that the people of Nigeria; the aged and the youths across party and religious divides in 2011 overwhelmingly supportted and votted in President GEJ to be returned to Aso Rock with the hope that he was the messiah we have waited for, to lift us out from our long lived troubles of bad leadership that is laced in SELFISHNESS & CORRUPTION which has become the trademark of Nigeria and Nigerians in every part of the world.
Little did we know that President GEJ who hitherto was from the streets like so many of us, unlike the past Nigerian Leaders (both military & civilians), who were drawn from the affluence. He understood that majority of Nigerians live on less than $1/day and go to bed each day, not knowing where their next meal would come from.
Today, he had forgotten all these and so many others and only sees himself as the president of a particular party rather than that of the Nigerian people. Today, irrespective of the amount of damage and havoc some people bring to this country and the corruption cases they are immersed in, once they are ready to join the ruling party, they become 'saints' with their corruption cases laid off them (FFK is a typical example). The Nigerian security agencies particulary EFCC, ICPC, et al have become a mockery and a shadow of themselves. The President had on a certain media chat told the world that 'stealing is not corruption'. The situation has gotten that bad.
In view of the above and many others, agreeing with you that there are no better choices in over 160million people, should be likened to the saying that the Nigerian State is irredeemable which would amount to giving up on the only Country we can truly call our own (in the language of Prof. Dora AKUNYILI of blessed memory)& we are certainly not giving up on Nigeria because I for one have so much confident that Nigeria deserves much better than her previous and present leaders have provided her and shall rise to her glory again soonest...
I would stop here for now!

GOD bless Nigeria!!

lrguru: even if they pay doctors 1-million naira monthly, in 5-months time, they will ask for 1.5million naira or go on strike. Dr's say that dr-patient ratio is 1:6400, and nigeria has 150million people. Does it mean that all nigerians are sick people or go to the hospital everyday. May I remind the doctors that not everybody patronize govt hospitals and not all even go to hospital. Some people have never even visited hospital for the past 10 yrs or more, and some prefer the traditional method. So if we wnt to calculate dr-patient ratio, we can say the ratio is 1:100 on monthly bases.
See analysis. U sabi pass WHO?

dabongys:


Sister, The issue is not just with the doctors strike. try to examine the matter without bias. As you claim they have said all patients should go and die, that's really wrong. They shouldn't have gone on strike my dear, at least not now. They should have waited for all patients in the country to get well before embarking on the strike. They should have ensured no patient remains in any hospital before doing so.
Or could it be that you are saying that Doctors should not go on strike at all?
But teachers, ASUU members, judiciary workers, NUPENG, PENGASSAN etc are free to do so? it seems in your world, they (doctors) don't have needs or bills to pay. Did you read in my post that their hazard allowance is 5,000 naira? Whoever pays someone that as a coverage to take care of patients with contagious diseases but is ready to spend billions as long as PDP wins in a particular election is a bigger terrorist to me.

Fine, let him fire them. i hope he would be ready to fire all ASUU members because I am sure he is yet to (in practice) meet their demands. After that, it would be the school teachers (NUT), Then NUPENG, NLC etc. It never ends. Does that not tell you that it is not the trade unions but the government? How can the government alone be okay and every trade union or the entire citizenry be insane?
The govt is like a dog chasing after its own tail....the cyclic motion never ends.
d nurses r closer to patients nd therefore r at higher risk of gettin those communicabl diseases. pls tell us d amount dey collect as hazard allowance

Dear friend, no one is against GEJ in person but his policies is sometimes unthinkable . Mr President is not ready to employ the thousands unemployed graduates but has the capacity to sack the 16,000 underpaid medical doctors.
Do you know millions of dollars that had been awarded by your brother to tackle EBOLA. Most people are supporting GEJ unnecessarily without justaposing the end result.
By the special grace of GOD , GEJ shall be handing over to more vibrant person by May 29th 2015.

When there were residents, patients in my clinic were already getting 6 months appointment and that is because 4 doctors including house officers, residents and consultants were seeing about 140 to 200 patients in a clinic day. It used to be double that number but we cut down when we realised all we were doing was just surface consultation and quick examination nothing thorough. Even with the present number we are hardly able to fully examine every patient (it would take about 30 minutes to do a decent history taking and examination). The house officers can't do much being a specialist clinic and the consultant can only see a few patients because he or she has to review cases with the residents and teach medical students while the clinic is going on. So now what will happen is the number of patients we see a day will reduce even further, appointments will now be longer year to 18 months. Surgeries will be reduced because only the consultants can operate , senior residents especially used to do most of the minor to intermediate cases and some major cases under supervisiona, while the consultants do the major cases and supervise the residents that way one consultants surgery list could have up to 10 cases in a day because he had assistance. More patients will definitely be referred either to private clinics or abroad. Imagine a hospital that has 5 consultant anaesthetist and that is a large number for a teaching hospital oh. Everyday they have about 10 surgeons from different specialties operating, prior to the sack of the residents the residents would gas the straight forward cases while one consultant anaesthetist supervises like 5 or 6 of them and then personally handle complicated cases. So definitely the rate of surgery will fall and really major cases like those which take 8 to 12 hours will no more be done.At least me I won't dare, it's only a mad man that will start what he cannot handle.
Imagine the neurosurgeon or cardiac surgeons who are usually one or 2 in a hospital running clinic and they now have an emergency. shocked Ghenghen clinic will be cancelled and if the same thing happens 2 or 3 times in a month the backlog will be unimaginable.
Let me be watching this cinema cool cool it's going to be bloody.
Or maybe we should just close down the teaching hospitals and send our medical students to Ukraine and India after all in India residency is done in private hospitals and they haven't died yet.

your government can destroy public health after all they dont use those hospitals with the common man.

anyway this drama ends, the doctors will not be the loosers. if nigerians havent realised that by now,then its a pity.

if push comes to shove and the public health system crumbles, nigerians,for those who can afford it,would move to private hospitals and meet those same doctors.

That is fine. Maybe when they get in the private sector and have to compete they will do better. Let's see how they'll strike every week when their livelihood depends on it. I'm sure they're good Nigerian doctors but very few. The system is obviously broken and needs to be fixed.

nigerian schools (including the medical ones) need to be vetted to check what kind of graduates they're producing.

look,your governmemnt is even confused.i am not even sure they know who are on strike. NMA is on strike and it encompasses resident doctors,consultants,house officers......every doctor in short.

look at another circular released today. it shows their confusion. if they had the consultants on their side before,i am not sure they still have it with the tone of the circular below
Without resident doctors, consultants might just be working like ordinary medical officers, who do they want to delegate work to? A house officer?

Na Lie..Doctors re stupid, selfish n self centered. They think dey re d most important pple in diz country and in the hospital. They should go outside d country n see how health team work in collaboration with dem selfs. We can't care for our patients very well b cos of poor collaboration between d health teams.
Health team makes up d hospital and d health care systems can't function well until dere is collaboration. So Doctors should come down from dat height dey have placed themselves and den allow other health care team including doc's to walk as one. Dey should stop doing d work of pharmacy, lab scientist, physiotherapists n nurses. Dey should concentrate on deir own job. Allow oda qualified health care personal to hold any position as long as dey re qualified for it.

GEJ should not blink, he is doing d right fin.haters go n die.

uncleu: Resident doctors in Nigeria tend to forget that they are in for short training program. They are not indispensable. The consultants can run any hospital with house officers and medical officers. There are thousands of young doctors with primaries waiting and looking for places to do residency. Lift this suspension after six months, throw application process open to everybody and see if resident doctors will go on strike again.
true there are always some pple out there wt primaries they could b absorbed as JUNIOR residence. So from where would u get ur SENIOR RESIDENCE? As disorganized as virtually every thing in Nigeria is medicine is still unique in that ones u puncture the laid down structure it bcomes impossible to reorganize in years to come. For instance no senior residence then automatic loss of accreditation by NUC therefore no more medical school. A school wt junior residence , consultant ,med student wtout senior residence can NEVER be accredited.
