these [b]doctor clowns[/b]in Lagos.

PhysicsMHD:



Don't get sick.

jacobs123:

Tinubu has control of the media so this blackmail of the doctors is expected. I want the dotors to reach a middle ground too but Lagos is always insincere believing that they can do everything in the media.

As per Fashola's comments, there are public teachers and doctors in UK who earn more than the Prime minister. It's all about your contribution.

Tinubu is complaining about thebudget when his company collects like 10% of our tax and he almost owns the state!!!

He however noted that the new Lagos State Medical Salary Structure (LAMESS) is very much at par with the agreed consolidated medical salary structure (CONMESS) "except in a few areas where there are some minor differentials in the actual pay of some of the consultants."

He pointed out for example the entry point for a House Officer on CONMESS is about N219, 000 while for the LAMESS it is N207, 629.50 bringing a differential of about N12, 000; similarly for the highest paid Consultant, the new pay is N700, 015, 50 while in the old pay it is about N300, 000 although in CONMESS it is about N800, 000

These Doctors should consider the people dying everyday.

EzeUche_:

This Tinubu came a long way. My Yoruba professor was joking how this man was barely surviving in the U.S. driving cabs in Chicago and now look at him now! Looting public funds. It must be nice for him.

seanet02:

Ezeuche, carry your mad.ness somewhere else, How many States in the south east can allow their Doctors to Earn more than the Commissioners in the State Cabinets? A commissioner in Lagos is earning less than N500,000 while a doctor earns over N700,000, can Obi who has not even paid your doctors like that? Stop putting tribalism into every issue. Fashola should Sack them without any Retirement Benefits for killing People indirectly. They deserve to be hanged.

EzeUche_:


I hope you people do know that there is a shortage in doctors in Nigeria. We do not have enough doctors in Nigeria, so it would not be wise to sack them, because of the small amounts of Nigeria.

And where is the tribalism? Simply said he was driving cabs in Chicago, which is the truth. Now he #1 thief in Lagos. Am I lying?

9ijaMan:

Another simple reason I cannot vote for Ribadu. This will be an example of the sort of advice he'll be getting from the ACN strongman, Tinubu. You cannot wine and dine with the devil and turn around to deny him.

VOTE BB 2011 for the real change we need![/size]

udezue:

These Yoruba ppl on NL are sick in the head. I don't see anything ethnic about what EzeUche said. Jeez bunch of tribal simpletons

seanet02:

Yes you are a liar! Is it the the same TINUBU who was the treasurer at Mobil or the Ojukwu who disguised in Buba and Iro and ran off to  Ivory coast? Ezeuche you are stuupeed!

EzeUche_:

No I am not you buffoon! I know people who were in Chicago, when he was living there. He was driving a cab, barely making it. He went to Chicago State University. The man came a long way. And this is not hearsay. One of my professors was studying at Urbana knew him well.

Now who is the fool? Do not talk about something you don't know. Well that is in the past. Tinubu went from a cabbie to #1 thief from Lagos.

texazzpete:

Fashola should consider the people dying everyday too. Didn't he swear an oath to protect the lives of Lagosians?

dayokanu:

Fashola should just hand over the state treasury to the doctors When they are already earning more than anyone else in the country

rasputinn:

On this occasion,I agree with Tinubu,those so-called doctors are shameless,ungrateful,heartless and wicked
Useless bunch,is it by force to work for LASG,let them go work for the FG or better still in Baghdad,I think they'll earn more there

Sack striking doctors, Tinubu tells Fashola

The raging cold war between the resident doctors in Lagos and the state government over salary adjustment further nosedived yesterday as the leader of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola to immediately sack all the aggrieved doctors and hire new ones.

Eko Ile:

Tinubu, who was a former governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 declared that the state government was not ready to come to terms with the aggrieved doctors saying it was not compulsory for them to be members of the state civil service.

Tinubu, who spoke at a stakeholders meeting with Christian representatives from various churches across the state at Lagos State government meeting with religious leaders held at Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos, averred that the striking medical doctors who remained adamant to all pleas made by the government should resign from Lagos State employment or be sacked.

According to him, “the strike by the doctors is more political than actual protest about salary. We discovered that the said former chairman of the Medical Guild, Lagos State chapter, Dr. Ibrahim Olaifa whom they want government to reinstate is now a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for House of Representatives in Oyo State.

Eko Ile:

“The same man who was dismissed by the health authority in the state over his misconduct had gone to court to challenge the action and still wants the state government that you took to court to reinstate him, while the case is still on in court,” he said. According to Tinubu, “I have told Fashola to sack all of them (doctors) and recruit new ones immediately because if you surrender the authority of the state to their blackmail, you are finished. If they believe that, they can work with Federal Government where there are no modern equipment like we have in our hospitals here; let them get out.”

Eko Ile:

He stressed further: “It is we that produced them in Lagos and they are now threatening us. Babatunde, since you have met them thrice and they refused to listen, get them out of the job and recruit new ones who are ready to comply and cooperate with us.” The former governor argued that it was unreasonable for the doctors to be demanding for about 35 percent of the total budget of the state for their own salary alone to the detriment of others saying, “let them go away, they have made me angry.”

Eko Ile:

Speaking earlier, Fashola in his account of stewardship disclosed that he had earlier increased the salary of junior doctors from N110,000.00 to N170,000. 00 and senior doctors from N300,000.00 to N700,000.00, “But they are still unyielding, saying I will continue to appeal to them for the sake of dying patients.

Eko Ile:

“While the salary of senior doctors in state is now N700, 000.00, none of my commissioners receives up to N500, 000.00, including the state commissioner for health who is their boss. Still they are not cooperating; we are imploring you again to persuade them to go back to work and save the situation,” Fashola remarked.
