The medical practitioners say as opposed to the widespread view that they are fighting for increment in remuneration, they are actually agitating for better structures and equipment in hospitals across the country .

They are learning from ASUU. grin grin

But these doctors don't know the meaning of Hippocratic Oath.

Why are they protesting?

I thought the Doctors on Nl here said: after many people start dieing due to non-availabilty of doctors,Govt will realize they acted foolishly and then recall them back.
So what's with the protest?

And for the umpteenth time,they should stop comparing their salaries with their fellow doctors in foreign country coz:

1) #200,000 in is far more valuable in Nigeria than most of these countries they tend to refer to when comparing wages.

And

2) Which is most important. It also as to do with the issue of doctors comparing incomes with their fellow counterparts abroad. The truth it is not only doctors whose pay are lower than their counterparts. Pharmacist,Nurses,Physios,Lab scientist,Teachers,Engineers gets what is called Peanut when one compare it with what their fellow counterparts in 1st world countries gets. So why should it only be Doctors that always feel cheated/underpaid?,why do they want to be paid the same money despite knowing the massive difference btwn Nigeria's Economy and the country they always tend to compare nigeria with's Economy?. What happens when other employees in other occupation also ask to be paid as much as their fellow counterparts in 1st world countries?, You don't know what will happen?, What will happen is that Govt will only be able to pay 3 months salary out of 12 if they Oblige.

I'm not saying NMA or Doctors should not make demands for things they feel it's right to demand for but they should stop using 1st world countries as reference when they are in reality Living and Working in a 3rd World country. Things don't work like that (A US Cop will always get paid than a Naija Cop even though their job description is same).
And one more thing if I may add,they always seem a bit arrogant and aggressive when making their demands(Actually almost every association has this characteristic in Nigeria)

That's my 2cent cool

Nl Doctors abeg make una no quote me o tongue

PointB: Before we get swayed by the doctors tantrum, let's not lose sight of their 24 key demand.

Summary of the doctors demands:

1. Create more offices (and more money) for us
2. Don't send anyone to monitor the money
3. Skip level 12, we can't wait to collect more money
4. Refer to Nos 2
5. Pay us 22 years areas of some money, and then increase our wage
6. Expand the health bill so we can make more money
7. Appoint one of us surgeon general so that he can protect us and fight for our money
8. Adjust our level so that we can make more money
9. Increase our call duty allowance by 90%
10. Adjust upward our specialist allowance
11. Increase our hazard allowance from 5k/mnth to 100k/mnth
12. Release circular showing our allowances, all of us must be included
13. When we need to import In-Vitro Diagnostics, IVDs equipment, we don't want knowledgeable institution to check/license it.
14. Tell us our retirement age (obviously they don't want to retire, more money to be made in active duty)
15. We want more funding for our residency training
16. For peace to reign pay our colleagues in Owerri what you agreed
17. We must continue to enjoy the goodies in IPPIS platform
18. Attempt to prevent our collective bargaining (for more money) will be resisted
19. Lab scientist should stop intimidating us (we are the big boys, we make more money)
20. Stop short paying us for any reason (we want all our money in full)
21. Do for us what they do for doctors abroad
22. Set aside more money to furnish our offices (hospitals)
23. Medical director must be a medical doctor (It can not be a pharmacist, dentist, and never a lab scientist). We must chop alone
24. Stop violating our 2009 agreement. Pay us our money!!


There you have it. The two dozen demands of our doctor in plain language. The demands causing our brethren to die at home, and in hospital while doctors stay away. These are the demands making our people to resort to bathing and drinking salt water to death, as they run scare of Ebola Virus Disease, while our doctors prefer to stay at home and wait for their money.

Our doctors have sworn to protect their moneys, while our collective health is the ransom! If gold can rust, pray, what will happen to Iron?
God bless u my brother

Sincere9gerian: This is what you get in a society that encourages EVIL. When ASUU was on strike for 6 months and were collecting salaries and moving from one TV station to another defending that evil strike, most Nigerians cheered them on. I was one of the very few voices that opposed the ASUU strike.

Well, since ASUU succeeded with the connivance of the larger society, you should expect other labour unions to also follow suit.

NMA has always cited the ASUU example to justify it's current strike.

Every society should learn to live with evil or monster it creates.

Labour unionism has been elevated to a very lucrative business and an alternative govt in Nigeria.

Strike is not the only approach for pressing for demands by these labour unions, especially in a democracy, but they have all adopted strikes because of laziness.
so which side r u now

my brother they dont. They only good in cramming thats all. Useless doctors.

Both state and federal government paid for their intuition during their university days, they took that greed and now wants to back stab the hands that fed them.

They come to work by 10am and leave by 12pm. Useless doctors.
