GEJ till 2019....better go and Join TAN now and apply 4 job,,it is not late yet.Jobless fools

gbam!!(Except d part about GEJ till 2019, I don't care who is d president by 2019, but dis move by d FG is gud, to checkmate d excesses of dese selfish doctors)

I don't think it will be an effective strategy to call off the strike but if it is the aim of this move, the federal government may have activated a protracted illness. The Federal government should reopen he borders for doctors by reintroducing USMLE and the likes so progress is pursued by those who crave it and stark retardation by those who think the world is a still object.

NMA failed Nigerians wen we needed them d most they abandoned us all in d name of supremacy battle. Now johesu r looking more patriotic. Most unions use Nigerians as pawns. They v lost public sympathy and they would b reinstated but on d terms of govt.

Kossyne: Sorry I am bit lost here. What's Residency training all about?. What are the implications of this move by the FG

It, means that abt 80% of the doctors has been sacked...so the formal Doctor patient ratio!which was 1:6400 has now increased to 1:100000 . and the old specialist by the tym they retire, there wld be no new specialist in nigeria...kajikuo!

FG has taken it too far...but d doctors sef no try.
Even wit d EVD situation on ground una no wan consider...haba!

that's serve them right when u think you are bigger then your employer not even employee your guardian.these guys are not even a trade union ,they are not affiliate of NLC they are just group of deluded egoistic selfish homo habilis that is stuck on the evolution high way.
1 you want federal govt not to pay other health workers what they agreed
2 you want fed govt to overturn a court ruling on consultancies for other health care

3 you want fed government to pay you 100k hazard allowance not minding that d hazard u face is minimal compare to d one face by the orderly or health attendant that clean up the mess they did and left, the nurse that is with d patient 24/7 lab scientist that deals with biohazard everyday.as at now a doctor have died of Ebola,2 nurses have died and about 9 on quarantine this tells you who is more exposed to hazards in hospital.

4 they went to be trained abroad to be

they don't want other health Proff to be directors

kai!!!!!! what is it? I advice Ebele to state it that any body coming in on residency shld not belong to any association ,never go on strike ,never negotiate with any body etc.these guys are daft the didn't know WHEN TO LET GO that is their undoing.

enny09: When government pay so much to train only doctors residency program in Nigeria and instead of doctors to be greatful they still threatened government with strikes, what do you expect government to do, now government will use the money to employ and pay only full term staff to work in the hospital, and if any medical professionals want residency program you will have to pay for it yourself, simple as ABC.

I don't know why people don't reason before they say something.if the federal government decide to suspend residency program it means residency program will no longer be done in Nigeria. this will result will a great brain drain that has never been seen before that will later affect the masses of this country.

[size=15pt]GOD HELP US[/size]

PerfectFortune: I have said it before in my other post, the Drs are cheats.

We have seen several posts here from supposed Drs who are happy and confortable being on strike and the reasons are not far fetched.

1. They are getting paid (with tax payers money) for staying at home.
2. They cut jobs at one private hospital or the other.
3. 70percent of them are incompetent and unprofessional.

Though am not a fan of GEJ but am with him on this one (though am sure it will be reversed).

If the Drs must go on strike at any time for whatever reason, the helpless patients (masses) should be the only one at the receiving end, they (Drs) should sacrifice something as well which include forfeiting their salaries for as long as they stay off work.

"No pain, No gain" they say.

this is why our health system is in shambles. pay for residency

serious governments fund residency training.
the US even funds undergraduate medical training.

nigerians are a funny lot. get ready to start flying to india. i hope you can afford it otherwise you and your family are finished.

The same doctors that couldn't diagnose Gani Fawehinmi's cancer ? Stop celebrating medicority !

Until medical doctors in Nigeria learn to regard other health workers, they can go fuckthemselves.

Nigerians and the Doctors will suffer for this again. Let's be honest, I don't expect brain drain. I'm not aware of countries falling over themselves to have Nigerian trained doctors rather hurdles are being created to prevent Nigerian trained doctors practicing outside our shores especially in saner climes.

LOL......see beef

This is s step in the right direction by the Jonathan administration. These incompetent fools addressed as doctors cannot hold us to ransom. In trying times like this when ebola virus is threatening to wipe out our very existence, these fools are happily on strike and you want the FG to relax and watch these renegade crumble the health sector as a result of superiority fight?

The same people that enjoy various privileges including highest paid during NYSC and various bursaries are the ones engaging the government in a faceoff. The Fashola administration used the same approach of locums and put an end to a seeming situation some time ago.

I have a younger sister who is a medical doctor and I have told her severally that I am disappointed in the NMA, MDCN and whatever umbrella you group.

No going back by the FGN!

our ignoramus President continues from where he stop, he can't do without breaking records over records, I don't expect sensible
policy from a cretin. he's the first president in whole world to sack all lecturer in a country, he also set a new record to be the only
president to sack all resident Doctors because they are demanding for their right. they should call this aberrant man called GEJ in
order. what a totalitarian decision?

oyb: Zoologist thinking. Zoology, microbiology, botany graduates are all people who could not meet the required scores to study medicine. A superiorly mediocre student like gej, who could not find employment outside of a university.

I smell no brain and bad belle.

I wld have ignored this foool like d rest of u but i find his stup.idity quite entertaining...Dim wit! Amuse us

He is a stu.pid ako ti le ta omo. I give up on this man. Nothing sensible can be done by him. Absolutely nothing.

Onegai:

Some are useless. But others are very worthwhile, CMD of First Consultant is a diamond (he's so good). Why do you think those doctors re still alive, 3 weeks after? It was doctors that said to govt "go to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo state and get their medical staff to train Lagos public health workers. Those guys are trained in how to handle Lassa fever (which is very similar to ebola in symptoms and infection rate), so they will teach us sharply, because everyone is scared".
Even Irrua is not ready to handle ebola, the same govt that let measles and other viral vaccines finish in the country (so we are now at risk of contracting Yellow Fever, which is worse than ebola because it is mosquitoes that transfer it), the same govt cannot maintain isolation wards in either LUTH, Mainland or Irrua, that cannot fund Prof Iwu's research for years or even medical education, the same govt with the highest paid Senators in the world, and 9 private jets in the Presidential fleet, una dey support? If you knew what I knew! You would be staying home, praying in tears for 42 days to pass with no new infection.

If not for doctors, the Liberian called his Ambassador who then called his "big men in Naija govt" to release him from First Consultant. Only the doctors stood firm and said until his PCR test came back, no release. Else, we would be at 50 infected people by now.

This is NOT the time to say "No money or no morale", give doctors and nurses ANYTHING THEY WANT (short-term) and start shoring up the Medical health education in the country which is so poor longterm. Only LUTH can accurately diagnose Ebola, half the professors in uni have never used the machine. That is what doctors are fighting for. And hazard pay of N5000? Will you take even one bag of rice to his family once he gets infected?

I'm not a doctor but I've been so demoralised seeing FG's true nature about this outbreak. I and a friend were going to donate hand sanitisers in July to GH in Lagos, see how everyone who heard was thanking me. Ordinary hand sanitiser, we don't have in hospitals fighting a viral outbreak. LUTH is given millions and yet, their ECG machine will catch fire when patient is inside and your president will send his wife to Germany for months for treatment rather than subject her to what he subjects you to. And you support him. No accountablilty or responsibility from govt, so the board too, loots.

Osanobua, it is truly the rich who can afford to leave this country that are fighting for good governance. GEJ till America pities Nigeria and sends 10 bottles of Zmapp that una will fight over, out of fear and desperation

I quite agree with you, having worked in lassa fever unit at irrua. there's more the government can do. even the little money put into research doesn't come from the fg!

Id*iot.

Seriously I think the federal govt. of Nigeria has no value for it's citizens health. Our hospitals looks empty as though Nigerians have all been in perfect health condition, yet people die daily because they're sick. Mr president, pls do something to solve this issue. Btw just incase you didn't know it's called medical practice for a reason, you need a good wealth of experience to manage patients effectively sacking doctors really makes me conclude that my dear president might really really be clueless!

phantom: I sincerely hope you can afford a trip to India......

dont worry, we know the way to the chemist and we can all google. we still have phamacists to advice us. make una go fvkk unaself. nonsense. when you guys get out of the country looking for work, you will find out that your "qualifications" will only get you cleaner job in oversea hospitals.
msheeeeeew. me it has been more than 10 years i went to the hospital, i have had malaria like 3 times since then, i know where the chemist is.
make una go fvkk unaself.

just that my Ngozi is also a doctor , in which case she is welcome to fvckk me instead.

I wonder the kind of advisers this man has around him

I can't believe that a "crazy man" like Patrick sowyer is our president, I see, I can identify the craziest person between GEJ and Sowyer

See oh, what I have seen in Nigeria is that, the quality of doctor you get depends on who you know and how polite you are. I was very sick recently, and saw a doctor (a lousy one) and nurses (horrifyingly bad to the point that I used to request only one particular nurse) at a private hospital. Immediately a former consultant at LUTH came to visit me and asked for a referral, I got 3 Consultants, 1 Internist and 1 Surgeon looking at my case file. It took them 2 hours to demand tests from the best lab in the country.

In a week, I was better. Because money does not get you the best doctors in Nigeria, having a doctor in your family who is very respected will get you the numbers of the only 3 Neurosurgeons in Nigeria. Give them good facilities, most doctors are not demanding to be richer than bank manager sef (unless our specialists, like Cardiovascular Surgeon or Research Paedetrician).

Cooking the right soup for the right doctor will get you better healthcare in Nigeria than millions. Nurses in private hospitals will NEVER wear latex glove to give you injection, yet we continually shout "HIV, HIV", go to Nig. Navy hospital in Ojo, thos nurses won't do breast exam without gloves sef, you will feel so unloved. But that is what every nurse should be doing. Yet they want to be called "Consultant Nurse". Me, I don't mind Dr. Pharmacist or anyone who has earned the right to that title, with experience and first-class training. Raise the bar high, for everyone, then tell them "you will get all your needs met and have a seat on the board, with experience and training".

Most Nigerian nurses were unaware of an ebola outbreak in West Africa, in May, when I asked. Even one geh calling herself "pyschologist" at private hospital was unaware, talkless of the GP that worked in her hospital. I almost wept.

And so? Does not mean you don't beef him or her or beef other doctors.
When u say a group of people can go f.u..k themselves it is reasonable to believe you don't like those people i.e you beef them.

Notwithstanding, Nigerian doctors remains the most useless of them all. Trust me; am talking from experience.

Abeg nack us your tori!!

Now they have the balls. You should have managed your largeet share of National cake among other civil servants. YOU BIT THE FINGER!

Grave implication.
