The Federal Government had just sacked all doctors on strike!!

If this is true, den problem dey wella!

It looks real but who knows if it's truly real.

This sounds like a big joke. I want to believe that the FG will use this to pressurise them into soft-pedalling.

if its true, its a very stupid move. fg is only fighting fire with fire. the simple solution is to negotiate wit johesu nd NMA together nd arrive at a compromise

Silly move from FG.

what a great relief! After all, most Nigeria doctors are utterly useless. imagine some of them denying their profession and others tending their resignation letters just because they heard Ebola is in town. Thank God for the able agbo sellers

The strike shouldn't have been undertaken in the first place considering the oath they swore to.

How real is this document? Please upload the full page and let's see the signature and date appended.

Because if this is real, there's absolutely fire on the mountain.

Just passing by...





The president is not stupid so he can't do that.

Well this is a good move from the FG or not is yet to be seen. Until more details unfold before we can actually pin-point the reason behind this decision.

If this is true then the Doctors should go 'job searching' in Countries that will appreciate them more.

warrior01: what a great relief! After all, most Nigeria doctors are utterly useless. imagine some of them denying their profession and others tending their resignation letters just because they heard Ebola is in town. Thank God for the able agbo sellers

I bet this is no relief at all. You wanna begin to replace doctors with agbo sellers? Ol boy!

No one even asked for source, gullible nigerians

This directive, if it happens to true, come late. It should have been given a long time ago.

Trust me. Our able agbo sellers are better than most "Nigerian doctors". Have you been to any Nigerian teaching hospital before? God have mercy on those things you call doctors

Tobbie9: No one even asked for source, gullible nigerians

Everybody knows the news is not confirmed, However you can still have a hypothetical discussion on the matter.

I don't beleive it!

Does anybody think its dat easy to just sack drs wt a presidential fiat.This document is as fake as fake can be

Nigerian doctors are just over-pampered.

FG has finally found a way to 'deal' with the doctors?
Seems to affect only doctors in federal employ only though.
This ain't Jonathan's work, but Chukwu's.
Now only consultants are left to run the teaching hospitals.Imagine 800 consultants to a daily patient turnover of 4000 in a place like UCH.
Expect more deaths and mortalities.
Nigerian doctors will start scrambling for Togo, S.Africa, etc
Students will shun medicine as a course of study.
Agbo sellers will have a field day..
Nigeria's healthcare is already in the doldrums, but suspending residency programs just killed it.

If no drastic step is taken, Government can't survive the stock of strikes planned by Health workers and Doctors.

The problem is the crazy Unions in Nigeria, not doctors. Unions in this country need to be severely restricted to market women and Okada drivers only.

Good one from FG. The Strike has taken too long. NMA is not a Labor Union, by Law it is illegal for it to strike.

Military Docs will now take over Hospitals. Fresh employment to all. Fashola did it... It worked!!! It will work for Jonathan.



Nigeria Must move forward!!!

Fire on the mountain

That letter seems to refer to doctors on RESIDENCY TRAINING. I don't think all docs have been sacked.

Anyway, let's wait for further confirmation.

Meanwhile, prophet Ebola is gaining strength/confidence and is ready to spread his ministry across the country/continent. God help us all.

Government wants to privatize all hospitals

Fashola reabsorbed all the doctors.
And how many military doctors are there in Nigeria?

VantagePoint:
Fashola reabsorbed all the doctors.
And how many military doctors are there in Nigeria?

When the Glorified quacks called doctors are hungry, they will be reabsorbed. For NOW...They are FIRED!!!




I AM WITH THE PRESIDENT ON THIS

Op, title is misleading.
Only Federal employees (doctors) are affected, doctors working for the various state governments are not.
Secondly, only RESIDENT doctors are affected, consultants are not.
