When the nation needed them most, they were playing politics and refused to work to help curb Ebola. Now that Ebola is not a big issue anymore, they are trying to blame someone. GEJ, I know I don't support most of your policies but please don't call these bastards back.

Don't be daft ma friend cheesy
Fighting for the public should start with fighting ebola. Ebola is screwing the public and they are talking nonsense.
FYI, there are those doing the ebola fight presently and they are wining while theses lazy ones are taking their greed to the street.

Eh my friend im trying not to be daft oooo... But ask yourself, what will they fight ebola with? Do they have the resources? Has the country invested in R&grin for the doctors? Are they paid well? Should they die while fighting ebola, what pension plan is in place for their families? Will you fight ebola knowing if you die, the system in place will not give a hoot about the family you live behind? A medical practitioner from the states or uk that comes to Liberia or Nigeria to assist with the Ebola stuff has trust in his govt and system to take care of whatever he lives behind in the event of death. So my friend, don't be daft and don't just look on the surface wink. By the way, a medical colleague visited UCH Ibadan Nigeria and discovered nigeria is the only place where disposable medical gloves are actually reusable by different people.

[b]Selfish black monkeys that can not produce drug for Ebola like the American doctors that came here to use Africans as Guinea pigs to test their own drugs.
Now they are fighting for their own survival after sack, but when they were putting the lives of all Nigerians at risk when government was begging them.
These were the same set of graduates that earn more than all Nigerian graduates and were enjoying all kinds of benefits for knowing nothing.
They know practically more than any Nigerian nurse and yet they intimidate people with useless certificates they gave.
The government should create pathways to enable any Nigerian graduates that excels in the 2nd MB Exams to acquire the medical degree so that we would have enough medical doctors and not a few privileged people holding Nigeria by the jugular.
They want to be paid like senators, please how many Nigerians can the FG pay like the elected Senators and House of Reps members.

Why are they seeking the sympathy of those they abandoned on the hospital beds? Even in the thick of Ebola pandemic they refused to come to the aid of the masses. To me it would have been a master stroke to have called it off on account of the Ebola crisis and then come back to resume after it has been contained and I bet you the masses would have poured into the street in their support. Well they should keep trying their luck now that God has came to the rescue of his children.

Please, I think the Nigerian government should give each doctor a brand new Range Rover Sports first, a 5 bedroom duplex each in Ikoyi, $100,0000 dollars vacation allowance, $1 million dollar annual salary plus other benefits in $, appoint a medical doctor as the next president of Nigeria. They make me laugh with their stupid demands. Never for the interest of the masses nor for the health care system, but for their selfish reasons using " improvement of health facilities" to mask their selfish demands. Please they remain fired.
Whoever is not happy with government job should resign and go start his or her own hospital and pay his or her staffs salaries obtainable in the US and Canada. Rubbish.

I think its unfair to treat our doctors like this and neither also any citizen of this country. However, our doctors need to admit one fact of life that there is no absolute monopoly in life. They need to be advised that no job can guarantee financial independence. They should look forward to business development mentality to achieve their financial independence goal and just take their profession as a calling and service to humanity

After 6 years of school minimum and other added elements? are you on this planet? Like seriously!! do you know the dependents of these people? do you want their attention divided while they are working? Do you want to keep getting the crap you get that you call medical attention? crappy infrastructure, mosquito infested hospitals? have you been to any of the teaching hospitals lately? do you have any intelligent resident doctor relative? talk to them and it will be well with you

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?

I told you people are fighting and winning the battle here in Lagos even with the limited facilities. These doctors should learn from them and stop this cry cry baby thing.

Well,we got lucky in Nigeria..we isolated our patient zero immediately....and he was exposed to realtively few people.

What the funding is for is good isolation facilities, and good research/diagnostic labs.

Because of the time when it may be 1000,instead of just one case of ebola.

(And it seems you are happy with our hospital's poor state. Well,be happy when we have a really bad epidemic because of poorly resourced hospitals....such as is happening in Liberia and Guinea.).

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.

Well, poor conditions= poor service.

If you want a football team where everyone is the captain......you are asking for trouble.

(And my concern isn't about who heads the hospital....in my mind we should leave that to a well trained administrator who can be anybody....it is about who is in charge of day to day care for patients in the wards,and in outpatients).

Please doctors, tune in to CNN and watch Vital signs with Dr. Gupta, and see what a teenage scientist (Josh Meier) is doing in a ground breaking research to find cure for cancer. They are here protesting for selfish reasons. Even when they go abroad for studies, they are busy taking selfies and uploading on FB and Instagram.

The isolation you are talking about was done by humans not robots. Would that be possible if everyone sat at home?

The doctors are not being reasonable, to be sincere. They should be working with the government to save the masses from the epidemic, but they are doing the opposite.

The government has responded well to this ebola case while the doctors has done nothing.

It makes no sense at all to sack 16,000 doctors in a place like Nigeria. Doctors are needed in the society and should be well paid. At any rate, if you chase them from teaching hospitals, they will go into private hospitals and will still earn, but they will not be receiving vital training to improve their skills.

FG is just trying to promote quackery by this move.

Corruption remains our Number 1 problem! I think the President goofed very badly when he claimed otherwise. Ex militants can buy private jets from gains from centre, while we continue to neglect essential personnel in society.

I strongly suggest that you tour a teaching hospital. And after your tour ask yourself whether we can fight Ebola under such poor conditions....and with consultant nurse disputing consultant doctor's orders....and consultant pharmacist disputing with both of them.

We are beating Ebola because we have not yet faced a full on epidemic like Liberia and Guinea. Trust me....it would be hellish if we did that with the facilities we have.
