Doctors are not important than the police,soldiers and every others Nigerians that do hazardous jobs to keep Nigerians safe ! If farmers were government workers,i'm sure all of us would be dead by now !

Please read this to yourself for a minute. If after that you still think what you wrote is logical...well what can i say.

The LASG should b held responsible for d ongoing crisis. D strike would have been avoided had it been d LASG implemented d agreement they reached with d doctors abt 2 years ago. It goes to show that d govt does not care for d masses.

Doctors hav a right to have their demands considered and if possible met by the govt.
Bt the way they r going abt it, isnt too cool.

They forget the govt doesnt get to suffer, its us, the poor nigerians thatcant get flown abroad for treatment.

And who doesnt kno how expensive these private hospitals can be.

God help us. A lot of people have died already just these past days cos of ths strike.

wirewire: some of you dont know there is power in any organised union. so the fed have the right to go on a solidaritry strike.

Na wao. . .You actually think government gives a fu-ck about poor man killing another poor man.My take is that if there is no compromise between government and the doctors,innocent lagosians should not be allowed to die for a matter that doesnt concern them.The fact that all the doctors withdrew their services mean they dont have regards for the poor people around them.

LeoMax: Horticulture (flowering) is a budgeted expense ! There was no provision for their sudden desire on the budget. Why cant they simply treat patients and go on hunger strike, thats an option!

You budget money for flowers but not for an agreement you voluntarily signed about 2ys earlier right?

And pls dont ever pray to be attended to by a hungry doctor because 'dead body must get accident' o. If no be the doctor then na the patient

i see this situation differently, doctors (and as a matter of factor, any employee (union or otherwise) ) should be free to go on strike, however, no worker must be paid for the period for which they are on strike. i think if we have a "no work, no pay " policy, employees will think critically about the gains and losses of a strike before before going on some kind of stupid strike e.g. solidarity strike. can u imagine workers of PZ going on strike in solidarity with sacked staffs of unilever

Fashola let these guys re-apply for their job, get a job descriptions, wages, benefit if any. stop the killing!

People that have died in the hospital cos of this strike, there blood is on LASG and not the doctors.

Fashola should do the right thing

When people who are supposed to be saving lives can up and go on strike without sympathy for the people that would die in their absence.. Thats how you know you are in Nigeria!!

Do what right thing ? Like pay the most senior doctors #2 000 000 as against the #900 000 they currently get beside other allowances ? How much is fashola's statutory salary beside allowance ?

Gaybriel: I thought doctors are people who value human lives above money and other material things. Oh, how wrong i was! I thought the first principle in medicine is to value human lives FIRST.... I'm beginning to dislike the doctors in Nigeria... The doctors working for the FG are the most foolish for their solidarity strike...

Doctors do value human lives and of course the rule in medicine is to FIRST DO NO HARM.

You can come over to the US for your traetment since you dislike the doctors in Nigeria as long as you can pay for it. Afterall fashola has flown his father abroad for treatment. I am not just sure all the 15million inhabitants of lagos are as rich as you and the governor.

some people dey mention police + army ...we can all see they effect of underpaying policemen...they now escort white men up and down for peanuts and stand on the road and collect 20naira while robbers dey kill you and your family....army dey do bunkering for niger-delta....i gues you guyz are cool with all these abi??
NOW YOU WANT THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN IN HEALTHCARE

Okija Priest:

These Lagos doctors are not different from boko harams since they both have -zero regards for human lives.

It is happening already with the diversion of patients to your private hospitals and pharmacy outlets.

^^^^so you wan make am worse abi?? .....

Which other allowance. They pay for the house allocated to them by LASG and you are talking of allowance.
LASG imposed multiple taxation on their salary.

Lets be realistic, Fashola reached an agreement with them for over 3 yrs now and refuse to honor it
and still have the got to sack them. Habba, that is gross injustice.

All the doctors' haters go and write JAMB it is never too later. In fact, it is better late than never.

We all know how the game always start right from secondary school. The best brains are admitted to med sch while the rest are pushed aside to manage with the available.

To the genuine commenters, you just have to remove the garb of being parochial and see Fash as a man dealing with other men. Not as ACN gov. In power. 100% performance in governance is impossible. This imbroglio has shown us nobody is above mistakes. Fash has taken a wrong step and I think the quicker he realises this the better. He needs to ask Adebisi Akande what happened when he was the gov of Osun state. Akala too was also dealt with. You don't use the machinery of state to fight your workers. You may not go free without some bruises.

I repeat if you are a physician reading this and you live and work in Nigeria, get the hell out of that country as fast as you can. Opportunities abound outside the shores of Nigeria....the mass exodus of doctors is about to begin again.

And for everybody else, well the native doctors have been around for a long time and quite frankly they can make do with more clients

only the sick need the doctors so i'm not a candidate of your prescription. By the grace of God, i'm hale and hearty. Jesus is my doctor. He never goes on strike. Even if i default in my agreement, he still forgives me and heal me. What a great healer is my God.

I hope you weren't expecting a reply like the above from me cos quite frankly i am way too civilised for that.

maybe we should consider sacking those on solidarity strike as well?? this is already heading to a very messy end as i see the other health workers starting theirs as well if the doctors get their conmess.then we will have real trouble on our hands. somebody made a comment about recruiting doctors from india and etc, that will not work cos i know india has a far better and advanced health care system than we have here and the doctors there are well off. i hope this ends soon o.

you study medicine and i study food science and technology. Which is more useful to man. Can you treat your patients without food but you know that no one can live a healthy life without food. So medicine my foot! Let us not start another debate here.

Well oga since jesus is your doctor i guess he is also my daily bread (pun intended)

I mean no disrespect to your profession sir but please don't even try to compare the job-stress, expectations and responsibilities of a food scientist with that of a physician

pcicero:


And your Tinubu is bigger than the people of Lagos or the 788 doctors? I wonder when this mental slavery started in the south west. Big mumu

since the days of Awolowo, biggest Mumu.

All that's required is for Fasola to employ more doctors for Lagos state hospitals.

Let the federal doctors go on strike forever, LASG is not their employer and as such cannot dictate their actions.

There will only be problem if they attempt to disrupt their working colleagues. In that case, some of them can be arrested and charged to court for constituting public nuisance.

This is wot happens wen govt wilfully refuses to honour its commitments. For heavensake, why shld fashola throw into the bush an agreement which was entered into by him and his cohorts. Were they blind wen they were signing it. It serves lasg ryt, and I fully support the solidarity strike. Will be solidarity protests against the lasg by all lagosians and pressure groups.

I hope fashola is wise enough to see that heads or tail, he losses. The solution is simple, go back to the negotiation table. Nobody shld be a bully and no person deserves to be bullied in any functioning democracy. Govt does not hold the monopoly of power. The little ones still have a voice!

ekt_bear: Fashola should stand firm, and refuse to back down. The doctors must learn who is the employer, and who is the employee.

This type of reasoning is the same reason why we are under the shackles of autocratic governments. Today it is the doctors, tomorrow who knows. Lekki second toll gate is coming soon and God knows which other one. As usual, when people go out to protest, he will use area boys and the police to attack people. And many will hail him as the best governor. And this is the same man who during the occupy nigeria came out to make a public announcement, when his oga in Aso rock deployed soldiers to Lagos roads, that people have the right to protest if the ruled have grievances against their governments. I really dont know who is fooling who here.

GboyegaD: There are better ways of showing solidarity than going on strike. Their profession has to do with lives as such, there is a need to weigh the pros and cons of their decisions. Fashola and his cohorts doesn't visit the government hospitals therefore, their decisions wouldn't hurt him. NMA should interfere and get Fashola reverse his silly decision through some form of negotiations. The guy has messed up big time and I hope he would be reasonable enough to correct his mistake.

U are not a doctor, so u can say anything u want 2 but still will not understand the bullshit that is going on in these silly government institutions. I find it soooo annoying . The silly state government sacks working doctors and then employs new ones immediately in the hope to, what was the word they used "curb a stubborn child" . Ofcourse what do u expect will happen. All colleague will come 2getther 2 declare support, its part of oat that is taken. If they don´t work, then we don´t work period.

If Fashola agrees to this, then other health workers (pharmacists, etc) will go on strike. Once he increases the salaries of other health workers, the doctors will then go on strike. It's time to take a stand.

Look at the so called civilized man that suddenly became so heartless like boko harams that have no regards for human lives.A sensible union would have left some doctors behind on skeletal duties to attend to patients.Civilized my foot.

If this lagos state is not cautioned he may spoil all what AC party has build over time. This Governor is insensitive to the Doctors plight and same he is doing to the masses of lagos state. He is a Governor of the elites.
