NMA suspends strike

Reports coming from the emergency meeting of NMA tonight says the 37day old strike has been suspended. And songs of solidarity from delegates filled the air .

There were indications Wednesday night that the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has suspended the nationwide strike embarked upon last month owning to the need to intervene and assist in curtailing the spread of Ebola virus.


The NMA had late Wednesday evening called for an emergency meeting to deliberate on the possibility of calling off the strike so as to allow medical doctors return to their duty post to give a helping hand in the fight to prevent further cases of Ebola.


An insider sources told THISDAY that the "strike has been suspended though under controversial circumstances. Work is expected to resume at once," he said.

wow

What the clueless and inept one cannot solve , Ebola virus can do better

They should continue

Now Ebola virus will be waiting to feast on them.
Save our doctors Dear Lord.

purplesummer: Now Ebola virus will be waiting to feast on them.
Save our doctors Dear Lord.

Amen

NAaaa!
Meeting still on. There is some chaos now. Obembe unilaterally suspends strike, house rejects..

Ah finally

God! Calling in the doctors to combat this Ebola without finding a cure for it yet is like sending in soliders to zambisa forest unarmed. They'll just be made a mince meat of. God save them please.

It was a unilateral action by the ex- NMA president Dr. Obembe who is about to be impeached by an interim exco.

The medical profession is finished!!

The body language of NMA already gave me an inkling the strike will be called off tonight.
Docs, be careful!!! Shoemakers' wives need not be worst-shod.

The entire National exco of NMA is about to be IMPEACHED!!

Dr. Obembe called a voice vote which the NO CAMP WON. In the spirit of his compatriot Dr. Ngige who was there to give him support from the APC STATES who urgently need the doctors to go and die fighting Ebola with their families he UNILATERALLY SAID THE YES CAMP WON.

MEDICAL ELDERS ARE TERRIBLE, and Medicine as a profession in Nigeria is DEAD!!

Good to hear. Though they can't combat Ebola yet. Hope they won't admit an Ebola patient for malaria or fever patient... make yawa no gas!

Nigerian Military v. Boko Haram

Nigerian Doctors v. Ebola Virus

But, have the 24 points been addressed?
What's the update on the 24 commandments?

Keep up the updates pls.

NMA National Chairman with his NOC unilaterally suspended the strike today within 10 mins, and disappeared from the venue...proceedings to impeach him ongoing.

So kind of them. Putting the nation first before anything else.

NMA Chairman and his NOC suspended!!!...#AbujaEDM

eyeview: God! Calling in the doctors to combat this Ebola without finding a cure for it yet is like sending in soliders to zambisa forest unarmed. They'll just be made a mince meat of. God save them please.

they'll help keep them well isolated at least

Leadership in an organisation like NMA is a very tough task. I can imagine how much pressure Obembe has got to deaL with. As it is in street politics, so it is in NMA. Back then in NIMSA, I learnt twasnt even as sane sef . Lets see how this plays out

So who is supposed to find the cure?
The masses abi?

They are bunch of idiots for wanting to impeach an honest man.
So they want to remain on strike in this critical moment?
Typical African greed.

Foreign doctors are in Africa fighting epidemic and African doctors are seated at home in the name of strike

seems if the doctors suspend their strike, johesu will proceed with theirs.

key thing is the hospitals must remain closed or functioning at minimal capacity.

mployer:
They are serious disgrace for the impeachment proceedings.
So they want to remain on strike at this period of time? Typical African greed.

So you want the minority to be declared a winner,simply because the minority stance is in tandem with yours?

Typical African of you, this was why most African leaders easily become tyrants.


If the majority say Yes to strike, then let there be strike. While you go behind the scenes to lobby and reason with them why the strike should end. So that when next you call for a vote, the majority will say No to strike.

Why?

Whatever happens, what I see from the doctors now is patriotism at its peak.
Besides, is better they come back now and join WHO and other experts now and learn how best to combat this virus. Because if the initial contacts (drs) with late Sawyer had known certain facts about the virus, may be they wouldn't have infected.

pazienza:

Who gives a f*"k about your minority and majority nonsense. I am saying the doctors are a bunch of idiots in the majority for wanting to remain on strike.
What he did is probably his way of trying to stay clean from the evil. No sensible human being will want to remain the head of an organisation that makes such wicked decision.

Wetin concern agbuero with overload. Ebola on my mind

After those murderers who call themselves medical doctors have finished fooling themselves, they now want to return because their money don dey finish! Make the ebola virus fire their useless heads. I have no respect for animals who use the death of patients to blackmail the government.

Dunno wat to write, jus wanna make first page. Did I?
