Ps:


HO's mean HOUSE OFFICER(S), name you call the lowest ranked doctor in graduate training to become a General practitioner.

NARD mean NIGERIAN ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENT DOCTORS, name you call senior doctors in training to become SPECIALIST in a specific field of medicine.

Consultants are the most senior doctors, they have undergone the HO's stage and the Residency stage of NARD and are Specialist doctors in their field.




So it is no longer news that NARD are currently on strike over their unpaid salaries running 3 months.

They gave 60 days notice to the FG but as usual FG allowed the grace period to pass without doing anything tangible.

The NARD are clamouring for their unpaid salaries, increase of their hazard allowance from N5000 to 50% of their basic salary, integration of all NARD members to IPPIS, and a few minor ones.

Why FG is selfish?

FG is selfish because as usual they want to ONLY enjoy the spoils of Nigeria instead of an even distribution of wealth according to occupation across Nigeria. Corruption being a major issue here.

Why NARD is unreasonable?
NARD'S demands are not UNREASONABLE but to be clear their APPROACH is unreasonable. I list the reasons and suggestions in them about how to fix it.

1. HO's shouldn't be on a strike with NARD, NARD made them join. Some NARD members even claim they are part of them, despite them been on different programs. NARD are paid by IPPIS platform why HO's are paid by the FG directly. NARD even unlawfully deduct HO's salaries, to their displeasure. NARD dragged HO's into the strike cause HO's haven't been paid for 3 months.

HO's can easily be paid by the government but when they are eventually, NARD wont allow them resume in the hospitals because their demands MUST BE MET FIRST despite them running different programs. HO's program make them GENERAL PRACTITIONERS while NARD'S program make them SPECIALIST.

If NARD are paid first then the strike will be called off today even if HO's have not received their salaries, they will go back to work and tell the HO'S they are NEGOTIATING WITH FG ON THEIR BEHALF BUT THEY WILL BE BACK AT WORK BUT IF HO'S ARE PAID BEFORE THEM THEY WON'T ALLOW THEM RESUME.

These has been the routine, so HO's are just been used by NARD. The reason isn't far fetched, LET NIGERIANS FEEL THE STRIKE, that is NARD'S USUAL MOTTO. By that statement they mean let the poor who cannot afford PRIVATE CLINICS THAT NARD'S STILL OWN AND RUN SHOULD DIE LIKE FOULS, THEN WHEN VULNERABLE PEOPLE START DYING, THEN FG CAN RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. WELL PEOPLE HAVE STARTED DYING ALREADY, LET'S SEE HOW MANY WILL DIE BEFORE FG ACTS.

2. While Medicine is a job that REQUIRES pay when due it is also an ESSENTIAL SERVICE. What that mean is that NARD can go on strike for their demands which is justified but the hospitals should still be able to RESPOND ADEQUATELY TO ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCY CASES ONLY. This can only be possible IF HO's work closely with the CONSULTANTS who both should not be on STRIKE but that is not the case in Nigeria, once NARD STRIKES the whole HOSPITAL PRACTICAL SHUTS DOWN.

Although doctors are on ground like the HO'S and consultants, no work will be done and this is terrible for an essential service. The worst part is state hospitals are not been owed but they have STARTED TO JOIN THE TERTIARY HOSPITALS TO STRIKE, IN A FORM OF SOLIDARITY!!!.

We have other essential services like the POLICE, MILITARY, FIRE SERVICE, AIRPORT AND SEA PORT WORKERS, PHCN WORKERS etc. JUST IMAGINE IF THIS GUYS OR ANYONE OF THEM GO ON COMPLETE STRIKE ACROSS NIGERIA, THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER!. The arm forces faces more hazard than the average citizen but while they complain, they know that can't ALL abandon their duty post and leave us all in insecurity, that's been REASONABLE TO THE POOR NIGERIANS THAT CANT AFFORD PRIVATE SECURITY.

ALL ESSENTIAL WORKERS IN NIGERIA ARE MANAGING INCLUDING NARD, NOTHING IS PERFECT BUT THEY MUST STILL GIVE SKELETAL SERVICES (not by NARD directly in this strike but HO's and Consultants)EVEN IF THEY DECIDE TO STRIKE AND NOT A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN.

3. Poor Nigerians are the ones suffering all this not EVEN FG the villian. 2 wrongs don't make a right. FG is clearly wrong but NARD are matching them for evil toe to toe.

If this fight is truly about the SAFETY of Nigeria and the WELFARE of NARD, then NARD should allow HO's back to work WHILE they fight for HO's right and theirs. But if is SOLEY ABOUT MONEY they would continue to DRAG HO's who shouldn't strike in the first place based on their condition of service with the FG, making TERTIARY HOSPITALS USELESS cause consultants won't even lift a muscle.

This is the REALITY OF THE ONGOING STRIKE to NIGERIANS, other reports are one sided and biased.

Things like this would continue as long as we see men of questionable character representing the people as politicians. Its disappointing that we have a professor of constitutional law as vice President and the whole nation is in a mess.

Let the doctors engage in sensitization campaign and make sure people vote for reasonable folks who understand the importance of STEAM to the growth of a nation.

You are right and they should please play their part.

Ngige is a bad negotiator.. To even say he is a medical doctor exposed his negligence on important issue

Ngige doesnt need to be a medical doctor to feel their pains, that is what his CONSCIENCE is for, same way doctors dont need to be DYING PATIENTS to feel their pains, that is what their CONSCIENCE is for.

Resident doctors in other coutries re not paid. At most hospitals give them stipends. Here they re paid more than the nurses and lab scientists. Clowns.



If we had a govt they will ask be sacked while consultants and hos run the hospitals.but even buhari nor know himself. After budgeting billions for aso rock clinic he has gone to London for what exactly.

Why do people still go to war? It's because the party involved can't negotiate the challenges they are having..

People who go to war don't have conscience cos they only consider what would favour them in the end not the collateral.

ASUU, NLC have all been threatening of going on strike every now and then, still Ngige is the one negotiating with them.

Do you think Ngige have conscience?

Ngige is not only the problem, FG is. If Ngige approves the payment but the president does not endorse it , what difference does it make?

Ngige is only acting on instructions, like they employee that he is.

If ngige has conscience he should resign seeing his hands are tied .

If Ngige can not convince the FG about their resolute on how to avoid the strike, then he is incompetent.. He should resign

He has his fault but FG also watch the news, they have their fault too.

The Doctors have their fault too.

You're the clown and stark illiterate, who told you resident Drs are not paid in other countries. Why not do a simple Google search on USA and UK residency programs of which some Nigerian Drs are there too earning big money

Ignorance with pride is a big problem in Nigeria Walai
