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. The last tym I checked, NMA is not registered with Labor Union. |

Morotov1: Which item number is listed on the 24 items for better facilities, you know they joined up their demands to make up the 24 demands without any references to better facilities. NMA is a collection of all doctors Union in Nigeria, NARD is part of NMA. So their demands are all and one. Not entirely accurate....NARD has been on strike for longer....and has had separate issues with the Government. One thing about the NMA-JOHESU spat.....you can't have a soccer/association football team with eleven captains. That's all the NMA is saying....plus JOHESU is refusing to clarify fully what a consultant nurse will do....or a consultant pharmacist. Having too many leaders of the team treating the patient is bad for said patient's care. |

AMAKAVIOLA: If that was the case....all the Government needs to do is to go to the courts and get an injunction suspending the strike....problem solved. Does the fact they haven't tell you anything? |

bushdoc9919: I may not like u guys for your selfishness and greed but I admire your calm disposition and ability to respond to provocation in a calm manner. Kudos. That being said, you guys have a case but going on strike is forbidden. Certain professions can't go on strike and d medical profession is one of those. Doctors are just like other Nigeria workers suffering poor infrastructure but most of you are egoistic and think u should be placed on a higher pedestal. What we all should be fighting for is a better Nigerian where all Nigerians would have a better life. |

CharlesPhc: Reality has finally hit them to their faces, the rug has been pulled off their feet...!!! FG should go a step further by evacuating them from their govt. residency quarters asap and Doctors strike will become history in Nigeria...!!! FYI... most teaching hospitals I know dont even have residency quaters for doctors... this and many more are the better ( or more realistic) working conditions they are fighting for.. 2 Likes |

Gaggi: Well,as I explained up thread....part of the reason for the strike is to prevent there being too many captains on the health care team (and JOHESU would have helped a lot if they had defined what they meant by a consultant nurse or pharm or physio). Too many captains can lead to too many cooks spoiling the broth....bad for patient care. The resident docs strike is partly for welfare,partly for better facilities. Because govt runs too many hospitals, facilities are in a bad state(The Old Woman in the shoe with too many children scenairo). So....either govt increases funding....or fees go up(which would makeit harder for Nigerians). Honestly NMA and JOHESU need to fight for better health care togehter. That is my position. As for docs not going on strike....the law does not prohibit docs from going on strike.....or indeed nurses,pharmacists, etc.(It does forbid armed forces and paramilitary forces from striking...that is why the Nigeria Police strike of 2001 was illegal.....although if the Nigeria Police was called the Nigeria Police Service..it would have been legal. Rules,eh?). Anyway......the health care system needs improving. And if government cannot increase funding...it better say so....so that we either privatize, remove fuel subsidy and use the money for health, or pay higher taxes. Have to log off for work now. 2 Likes |

Morotov1: It all come down to this again....power tussle. Call them in for a discussion to ascertain how they wish to achieve such. I hope such happens.....could hammer out several things.....then both NMA and JOHESU can turn to the real matter.... 6. The acceleration of the passage of the National Health Bill and extension of the Universal Health Coverage to cover 100 per cent of Nigerians rather than 30 per cent as currently prescribed by the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS. and Increased funding for facilities and training. 1 Like |

ayusco85: carry on, we the 160million nigerians are solidly behind you. the government always twist issues and make it seem those striking are only doing it for their pockets, not knowing that they were striking for a more serious issue like upgrading our hospitals so public officers and politicians dont travel abroad for medical check up. Keep living in self denial, it was this same line that ASUU used to deceive you guys, ever since they got the money how many university has they upgraded? 1 Like |

gboss4sure: ASUU was promised N3trillion over two-four years in 2009. When they did not get that money....they went on strike in 2013. Govt then gave them one trillion over 5 years(1/3RD of what they asked for.....and over a longer period). See the problem (and by extension why fees are going to go up in the next five years.). 1 Like |

bushdoc9919: You guys can fight for all the money you like, at the end of the day, you will negotiate, I feel doctors are well paid enough in the public sector, but if they can get better by negotiating, I do not have a problem with that. The issue I have with them is trying to dominate everything, that is just not on, the regulators and administrators should determine the structure not the doctor, he is not trained to do that, all this nonsense of captains in a ship is just BS, once the structure of an organisation is in place, everybody does his or her own assigned job, why should it be unions determining who gets what, tail wagging the dog. 3 Likes |

All these Federal Character appointed Doctors. Open the employment scheme and do it on merit. Many young Doctors and at home while some are under paid working in private clinics while the privileged ones who got their Federal Govt jobs through knowing prominent politicians are recruited. Eject them from the free houses they occupy. Let every doctor compete for the available position and that will teach them a lesson. 4 Likes |
