Duty first .

a confused country with misplaced priorities... so, what's now the point of their strike? what about the innocent lives that have died silently before the bomb blast due to inability to run vital diagnostic tests?

They're just trying to score cheap political points. Save lives indeed. Havent the hospitals been functioning since they went on strike?

Johesu!. Smh.

JOHESU is losing it nd they know that themselves, I knew govt will start scoring them cheap since I read the graduate nurses have pulled out if the union.

Nice move but

Saw this on Facebook yesterday. And it's suspended only in kano state.. Get it right!
