It must certainly end well

It's only going to get messy

info coming from d Edm..messages bin sent t all Drs concerned.

@theplanmaker.. I agree. Now d real trench war starts.

**following closely**

Hmmmm!!!! Dis is getting interesting

Battle line is drawn.
I am afraid of where FG is going with this, It took them 6 weeks to arrive to these decision.
FG is ready to trample on doctors, they did rather appoint foreign doctors than local doctors.
It will shake the health sector but will settle.
Obembe saw these coming and tried to bow out with his tail between his legs intact but NMA won't hear of it.
Since NMA is not a registered trade union, they are going to be sued by FG until they start bleeding from all the natural orifices, I just wish I am wrong.

I don't see it playing out that way.
NMA on behalf of ARD takes d gov't to court. ..
(If) MDCAN n NAGGMD stand their ground n continue d strike, which they by necessity should, d gov't will only get embarrassed@ d end of d day.

This was a Smart altho ultimately a reckless move by d gov't.

You forgot MDCAN was restrained by court not to go on strike until their issues with JOHESU has been resolved. FG is out and there are analysts, attorneys etc that must have plans to counter any move made by NMA. When Okonjo-iweala stated that FG can't print money to pay doctors, that is when I realised all these may result to nothing at the long run.
ONLY 16,000 ARD members, they are a paltry sum compared to JOHESU members. ARD MEMBERS are now a scapegoat for the two elephants.

Which way Nigeria?
A divided house cannot stand!

Am aware of d restrictions on MDCAN, but they can rephrase it.. protest, downing of tools, something.
I personally think ARD has a case if they go to court.
The restrictions on MDCAN also, I think, is concerning d JOHESU matter. It won't/shouldn't hold in this situation.
NMA moves are clear tho limited, go to court n shut down totally, all tins pertaining to medicine based on Hippocratic principles

season2 episode one has just began, make i grab popcorn start to watch.

Medicine is being regulated by government through it parastatal MDCN which regulates training of allopathic doctors. ARD members are being trained by government and are paid in the process, now FG is withdrawing themselves from the training program. Unless they have a lawyer that can wriggle them out of these situation then ARD is sunk.
MDCAN protesting the withdrawal of their students from training sounds so pathetic and unNigerian to an average Nigerian ear. And since NMA is not a registered trade union do you think they can sue anybody ?

Doctors are professionals and can never be out of jobs. Remember there is still private practice where doctors charge much more. Who suffers at d end of d day. U, your friends and families.

Bad move Jonathan, bad move!

wonder the foreign docs that will jump into Ebola infested Nigeria to earn hazard allowee of 5k ., also wonder the foreign country that will accept Ebola infested Nigerian doctors . more of stalemate than checkmate .

Employee fighting employer, FG cannot print money, blA Bla bLa!
We have our hands in deep shit and we rub our faces with them. With more than half of our indigenous/ nigeria-trained doctors working outside the country in other people's land and more than half of the less than half left is facing an illegal sack by the FG. We are here arguing about who'll win the fight. The masses are suffering and Nigeria hold the prestigious 2nd place in maternal & child mortality world wide. With ebola outbreak and an increase in this general mortality. Its an awesome time to leave.
Don't get me wrong, doctors are better taken care of outside this country and they are hardly denied visa and work permit to any country once they pass the licensing exam to practice there. Extra studies for few weeks and they are all out of this country for their good and then what! Mr Jona would treat the sick and Okonjo-iweala would operate on the injured.

Bad move by Jona,d Idi Amin approach shouldn't have been his best bet.The only result will be a mass drain of doctors from the country,trust me for doctors getting out isn't an uphill task plus better working conditions and more than twice the pay abroad then who suffers?
