And you expect us to take you seriously.....smh

excell12go: HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT INTEND TO PULL THIS THROUGH? THE RATIO OF DOCTORS TO PATIENTS IN NIGERIA IS FAR BELOW WHO STANDARD AND ALL THE GOVT CAN DO IS SACK 16,000 DOCTORS. And besides, with the supposed suspension of residency training, are newly graduated doctors expected to resume work immediately without even a mere house man ship I laugh... The govt had better start building mortuaries. :-/

omicron: No dear. I just quoted him. He wrote a thought-provoking satirical piece here.

eaglechild:
Who do you think signed the memo, it was the permanent secretary on behalf of the dishonourable minister.

Besides GEJ knows nothing about the details of residency training, it the minister's advice that will guide him.

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.

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?

OUR SINators and representaTHIEVES collect nearly N30 million monthly for doing NOTHING of benefit to us the suffering tax payers and on whose behalf the government receives taxes and royalties from oil companies.

Princek12: see as the doctors resemble agberos.

walchizmo: So sad to see the hatred people have for drs. Hopefully, the eventual outcome of this struggle will end of benefitting ALL, including the haters.- a functional health insurance for all, Drs who are motivated, skilled with better equipped hospitals and staff.

Mee234:
And what is the consequence of his action? That u will not vote for or make the country ungovernable for him? What do u think u will threaten him with that he had not heard hundred times over

skyface00: hmmmmm though what they demanded for is 2 much but if we look at it other way round, Nigeria Govt put dis on theirslvz by paying so much to themslvz for just sitting and without contributing any meaningful thing to the country in the name of legislating, a country where a president budgeted , (feeding) over 1billion naira, a country where governor want life pension for himslf over 100million for just medical treatment, a country where our oil which is the major source of revenue is secured by criminals and being paid billions of naria, a country where a minister used 10billion naira 4 Chartered flight 4 a year, a country where few individul collecting subsidy without importing, a country where minister used public money 2 buy herslef cars worth of millions naira, a country where we have ordinary stealling, a country where 20, 10 billions missing and they still cant be specific on the amount missing but agreed that sum amount is missing,they have done nothing 2 help this great country but enriching their pocket, a country where money given to people to sleep over 15milion to sleep and play game or gist btwen theirslz for more than 4 months now without any result, if doctors who are to safe lives cant be paid millions then criminals shouldnt get it....i noticed in Nigeria everybody using their power 2 enrich theirslvz, Niger Delta Militant, boko haram, Lecturers, The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), labour congress, now doctors, its more like using ur tools 2 get what u want....since dis Govt dont know how 2 steal coded, they loot openly without fear which is clear to everybody......sharing money like water......thats just my own thought about the whole poo in my loving country......everybody fight for their pocket once they settle them u wont hear anything again....God bless Nigeria and give us a leader with fear of God

keypad1: my brother i greet you ooo. I had this strange cough for 3 weeks doctors went to a private hospital but they couldnt do anything. They were just collecting my money.
Pay for card i paid. Go for check up, another thousands i paid, go for test, another thousands i paid. Told me to buy medicine from their own chemist of 2000 i bought and drank. For where. The thing no gree go.

It was becoming worse, i had to struggle the next evening to udoka's shop and told him of my condition. He looked round his shop, then pointed out one syrup for me which was 400. I paid drank it, that very evening i saw changes. The next day i continue to take it, the pain reduce to a good level. After 3 days all the pains in my chest and the cough are all gone.

Na who better pass? Fvck those striking doctors.

I will still say it. Oga tunde and brother udoka roadside chemists shop owners. Una thank you oooooooo.

hercules07:

You have broken it up nicely and I think this is the first time I will agree with you on stuff like this. I do not mind the doctors being well paid (though their services are shabby), I am against them denying other health sector participants the opportunity to rise to the zenith.

phabulux:

Alway? What the batshitmental is wrong with you, Redsun?

Forget neo-colonization and address your weaknesses.

If you're going to communicate in a language that you're not a mental slavery to, at least, do it the right way. Let people understand that you have a firm grasp of it, then, discard it.


I'll like to read your rants in Ibibio, or are you Itsekiri?
