The Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, in Ogun says the state has the highest number of quacks in the country.

The Chairman of the association in the state, Abayomi Olajide, said this on Tuesday at the group’s Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference in Abeokuta.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the conference had as theme: “Anti-quackery: A seemingly unending battle.’’

He expressed sadness that in spite of the rigorous campaign against quackery, the scourge had continued to plague the profession.

According to him, some members of the association are equally guilty of engaging quacks.

“The war started in Lagos where many facilities were shut down and people started moving toward Ogun State.

“Perhaps, we (Ogun) should be ranked highest nationally as the state that harbours quacks. Maybe, it is because of our proximity to Lagos.

“From what we have seen, there are a lot of them that are thriving within the society,” he said.

Mr. Olajide, who acknowledged the efforts of the state government through its monitoring team, advocated for a task force which would shut down illegal health facilities.

He also called for a collaborative effort of stakeholders in order to stamp out “quacks and charlatans.’’

The forum, he said, was to sensitise the public and also “remind our colleagues of how to manage their territory so that we can actually stamp out quacks in the profession.”

In his address, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Theophilus Ogunlesi, said the war against quacks ought to have been won a long time ago.

He said governments and stakeholders, however, did not approach it with serious intent.

Mr. Ogunlesi, who was represented by Olusegun Feyisetan, called for a radical approach by ensuring “critical reappraisal and screening of NMA members to battle quacks.’’

Adegboyega Ogunwale, a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, in his lecture, blamed the resurgence of quacks on poor licence strategy, ignorance, poverty, illiteracy, lack of monitoring team and poor facilities.

Mr. Ogunwale said prompt resolution of industrial disputes and adequate investment in the health sector as well as diligent prosecution of offenders would help in stamping out quackery.

Rotimi Ogungbe, a Consultant on Health to the Ogun government, assured medical practitioners of government’s commitment to the fight against quackery.

He, however, challenged the association to “name and shame” quacks among its members and also ensure that medical practitioners improve on quality of service delivery.

This is a well known fact. What is the medical board doing about it? If there are no concrete plans to arrest this anomaly, then the medical board are in connivance with these quacks.

I am disappointed portharcourt should have carried number 1, At least ogun state dey treat their patients.

..You are simply a yoruba person..Because the report is negative,you have find solace in semantics..looking for how 'should be'maybe or 'perhaps shouldnt be taken as fact..

....if they were used on how yorubas are the most brilliant and hardworking now...this thread would have been drenched with owambe party.

Should 'perhaps' and 'should be' be taken as a fact.

You are only ibo and since this article is negative towards the Yorubas, you've found solace in using semantics to defend the report.

If the report was on how 'perhaps' Imo state should be ranked number one in Child Trafficking, Im sure there would be yell to heavens about Lagos-Ibadan media is 'tarnishing' and 'marginalizing' ibos with 'propaganda'.

iii no iii believe iii am iii.

Hahhahahah. Skull mining, Agberoism, Ritualism, Fraud na them get am.

They have finally added Quack Doctors to their lists of achievements.


They will start claiming most industrialised and educated.

Dumb illiterate who's got comprehension issues. The man was only concerned at the rate at which criminals who were sent away from Lagos came to inhabit Ogun due to its close proximity and the more reason he used that expression to qualify his state. I won't be surprised if your Osu drug lord brothers are part of the mess there. And like the man said, I want Ogun to be sanitised and put clamp on these criminals inhabiting the place. Ogun needs to deport these criminals like Lagos did.

You dey mind these Potor boys? I swear they are the dumbest folks I've ever encountered. They can't even understand simple expression.

The man in question was only baffled at the high rate of criminals who got their business shot down in Lagos came to inhabit Ogun due to its close proximity and the more reason he used such expression. I won't even be surprised if majority of these criminals are Ibos.

Garifuna:
This is OBVIOUSLY NOT VERIFIED DATA/Factual Statistics.



When you see reports using uncertain words like 'PERHAPS' "SHOULD BE" and 'MAYBE' to describe something that is supposedly a statistical fact, then you should know that it is either quite untrue or just Shabby guess work.

Gestimation at its best.

I don't like this type of news about that great state.
