D diff is more dan 100k. Lets assume dat deir entry level. Plus d discrimination u ll still face at d work place oooo

abumeinben:
We're already short of health workers. Doctors are well needed alright. This should be at the expense of the benefits of other health workers. Just imagine a pharmacist cannot be the president of Nigeria Medical Association. This is just a corporate discrimination.

Health workers pay should be raised appropriately. Engineers should be recognized appropriately (oh! NSE is just as useless. All they know is registration and fees )

stop displaying your ignorance here. Pharmacist are not members of Nigerian medical association

Kleenatics:
I don't think JOHESU members are requesting to be placed on same salary scale with Doctors.

They are demand for same pay on the basis that they face same risk.johesu is scam

Are they the only professions that matters in this country?
What about teachers that taught them?
Because everytime na strike today, strike tomoro as if they are the only one.

I'm not a Dr but i know the pay system is in ratio even in canada, usa n Australia so what exactly does johesu mean by salary increase for the bodies.? Is it to remove the ratio or top up 4 all in same ratio?

I wish dis fact can sink into their murderfuckin heads

Why are you wearing your ignorance like a crown? Are pharmacists members of Nigerian Medical Association?

Its not unreasonable. N dey r not asking to b on d same scale. But to also increase d scale as dey did for d doctors in Nov 2017. D minister of health s a doctor na. So whom will he support

My sister stop. Please just stop this thing you're saying. Let's be mindful of setting bad precedents for the future professionals. How can johesu be demanding for same salaray as doctors. Common. Life favours inequality, let's be truthful with ourselves. You cannot do the services of Peter and expected to have Paul's pay cos you're both 'apostles'. Johesu and NMA are never equal. So all this drive towards 'equality' in the health sector down to the health team in a health setting will not work. Have you ever heard of social strata.

Abeg johesu should go back to work and stop complaining.

You want equal salary with doctors,
go & read medicine if you fit.

What a ridiculous demand.

Just like HND holders who want
parity with Degree holders.

Small time, NCE will also want parity
with degree.

Federal govt must not engage every strike
with dialogue, Koboko is better.

Are you sure you read what was written??,they actually want equal pay with doctors.

onyxo76:
I don't think they are asking for equal pay with doctors but an adjustment in their CONHESS salary scale as was done for CONMESS

My question is why must johesu base it's entire decisions and plans on what NMA does?
Are they being teleguided? Is there something about NMA that fascinates them?

Nigeria's health system needs a reality check.

See forget all these things you're yarning.
The ultimate thing is impact.
If you've got impact you're already steps ahead of those who don't. I'm sorry the truth hurts, all I see is jealousy from johesu. And jealousy is a nasty broth I must confess. Shed your heart of hatred for doctors and go back to work.

FG will always come up with cynical statements aimed at confusing gullible Nigerians probably to take sword on JUHESU. You can't confuse us all.

JUHESU is only asking for adjustment from CONHES to CONMES as you avail doctors and not same salary scale as you claimed. And if at all they ask for same salary, are these funds not spent in the same market where inflation is the order of the day?

Since Doctors said they can make do without other health workers, why then are you complaining? "Monkey the work baboon the chop abi"

Stop feeling superior to anyone, you ain't different being. You lack respect for others and want to be reverenced forever, nonsense.

The health Minister should keep telling lies to Nigerians while the fire engulfs the whole edifice.

Why stop another man's little progress when you are swimming in affluence. "Lobish"

If I call you a cry cry baby now people will come for my head. Can you just imagine what you're doing to yourselves.
I have a feeling that one day,common men on the street will start demanding for equal pay with their local government chairmen, I see it coming.
What motivates johesu?
Mind you I'm not a Dr. But I see what goes on with your guys and I smell greed

JOHESU consists of 5 registered professional trade union and their demand include the following: improve health care financing, emoloyement of additional health professional, upward adjustment of CONHESS, upward review of retirement age from 60 - 65 years, arrears of skipping CONHESS 10. they are not asking for the same salary with the doctors. they want a review of salary structures. if in abroad, doctors dont collect the same salary, neurosurgeons, cardio thoracic surgeons earn more the family medicine doctors but their is comfort.the government should accede to johesu request.

Are they mad, why would they want to be paid the same amount as medical doctors?? Unto??

uboma:
JOHESU cannot be placed on the same salary scale with Doctors.


Their demand is unreasonable.

They never asked for equal pay.
The minister isn't saying the truth.

I sincerely read your mention with great dismay, but I think should leave you with one word.. "Opportunity" Think about that please and be more objective going forward, thank you.

This is the truth....some people are just spewing Stinky lies to gain public sympathy.
But you know in Nigeria, anyone to first report his own side of the story is the "truthful" or the "victim".

The salary of a nurse who just started work today is also much higher than that of a porter who has worked 20yrs.
Everyone should be proud of his job and not envy another person's.

Doctors are d boss in health care and their salary will always be miles bigger than their subordinates nonsense Johesu

Yes it is very unrealistic for all the health workers to paid same as doctors but the government too should try to put a stop to the excesses of the doctors especially in the area of the doctors desiring n insisting on heading everything department of the health sector such as pharmacy medical lab physiotherapy radiology etc this breeds bad blood in the health sector,let the qualified experts in those fields head them while the doctors head their various medical branches simple.

There is strata in every society and system but there will always be harmony if everyone knows his or her level. JOHESU and Doctors both contribute their efforts to the medical sector. That nothwistanding, saying they should both earn same salary is like demanding that an okada rider, car driver, captain of ship and pilot of aircraft should be earning equal wage because they all engage in transportation. This is illogical, unreasonable and totally uncalled of. JOHESU should cross check their facts, accept the latest concession by FG and stop holding the health sector to ransom unnecessarily. They can't be at par with doctors which is even not obtainable in countries like USA, UK and Canada.

It's the government you should blame for giving them the premise to make such demand.

The johesu neanderthals are trying to box the government into a stalemate position.

By the time doctors revolt against them they will understand their place

Now I will have to beware of any nurse trying to serve my patients medication

Who was the first lab scientist?
Who was the first pharmacist?
Who was d first physiotherapist?
I guess you know already.

And that is exactly the problem.... And I'll quote your mention,

"I have the feeling that one day common men on the street will start demanding for equal pay with their local government chairmen".

Why common men, you look down on fellow beings because maybe you have opportunity. That's a very bad illustration and until this psychology erased, the problem of man will outlast man himself. With this mentality the struggle to bridge/breach the gap between the rich and the poor will always be a futile one.

You are not better than anyone, humility is a virtue everyone must imbibe.

To put a record straight, I am not a health worker, I'm deeply concerned.

I pray you will not find yourself in a situation where you will perceive a breach of human right by your employer if you are an employee and cannot enforce your right.

And for the purpose on course, think deeply and objectively, thank you.

Who is fighting who here? What you fail to realize is Drs will be happy if they get a pay rise as long as relativity is maintained.

EsotericMonk:
Some comments above show that many of us are either ignorant or blinded by sentiments.
JOHESU want to do away with relativity, they want skipping, they want to earn call duty allowance or its equivalent, they want specialist allowance which when taken into consideration puts them at par with the doctors. Its only in a shithole country that these demands are made. The world over, every professional know the limit of their expertise and entitlement, but in Nigeria, the reverse is the case.
Let's keep at it, we're already on self destruct mode.

You failed to mention that NMA dictates the limits and entitlement in Nigeria

why are people so ignorant like this and being deceived by the health minister lies
well doctors and the other health workers can't be collecting the same salary
but johesu is only asking for an adjustment in their salary scale which was done for doctors
