Speaking to newsmen, Tay called on striking doctors to make the interest of the people their topmost priority. “We are making a call to all the striking doctors not to allow more people to die, but to consider anything they can do to put the people first.

We are also inviting them to come and join our network and have access to our wonderful products. Nigerians should know that, as a company, we are concerned with the prevalence of high mortality and early death rates in the country, and that is what we are doing across the country with the help of very important personalities who are now in our company.

These include wives of very important government officials, professionals, lecturers and ordinary Nigerians. Many of these people are engaged in a programme with us whereby we can help to reduce early deaths.

Many of the products marketed by Forever can help people to enjoy better health and even reduce the incidents of illnesses and diseases. Anyone of them who chooses to come, we would be very happy to engage into our network and they would be far more successful”.

Mr Tay urged Nigerians to use FLP products to overcome illnesses and diseases. “People don’t need to die early in this country. We have products that can relieve people of some very complex diseases and help enhance overall productivity in our nation. We have solutions for many of the world’s illnesses. We would want people to come and be part of what we are doing”, he advised.

hitmanogo:

Did he ever think he will get 788 experienced doctors to manage the shortfall?

hitmanogo:

I wonder how some people reason and others applaud them. BRF goofed..... Sacking of those doctors was a terrible decision that affected his political scoresheet and nearly affected ACN's public image. Did he ever think he will get 788 experienced doctors to manage the shortfall? I laugh in fulfulde..... As for u stillme u should understand the hand of politics in all these...... Jonathan has already met with NARD executives in Abuja and he gave them his word he will look into it but NARD should stay action on the solidarity strike. NARD agreed to do that.... This was on Wednesday evening 31st may...... This obviously sent shivers down the spine of ACN and by the following day they were forced to take the only decision which is to recall the sacked doctors..... Fashola could not be made to swallow the bitter pill of accepting defeat by making a recall because that will lower his political credence, bu t tinubu made the recall to make him look like a benevolent leader who is interested In the welfare of the people but who is really eyeing 2015. I tell u if GEJ had done this SNG, ACN,CPC, and so called progressives will cause such a media tsunami that god may be forced to mediate. Simple fashola
and ACN goofed on this one.

In as much as two wrongs never made a right,i support the Lagos state action of using the sack issue to make our doctors sit up.
Nothing wrong about seeking a better condition of service but it should never be at the detriment of loosing focus of their primary duties of saving lives.

What good is the striking 788 doctors to many that have died?what good is an experience doctor that is not available to save a life that he swore an oat to always save?
