The ingrates



How about the other sectors that government are yet to consider increase in their allowances? What should those people do?

I repeat they are ingrates. Infact average Nigerians are self centered.

Increment from 5,000 to 35-40k?

The fool. Go and become a doctor na. You think it is by staying in your house and typing with your phone. Go and become a doctor and accept the peanut.

The fool!

If any doctor want mega earnings.. they shld come out and dare....

This is a true life story...

Two guyz I know graduated as best and second best bsc radiographers at UNN about 8 years ago.... the skl called them back to be graduate trainee at 100k without job hunting even for a day...

The second best is without parents, while the best has all the comfort... They as friends discussed this offer ND the best accepted and went back to UNN... The second best rejected and hit the road ND got a job at asaba scan in Asaba Delta State... The fort sigted job security and grow the through the rank..

Jus after two years, the lecturer guy is mastered I. The course and certified. The other managed to increase his wage .. at the time , the lecturer earns 185, and his friend 140k... Three years later his friend have opened his own lab, infact two of it.. done his master's too.. earns a combine sum of 4million monthly and used his work experience to also traveled to the UK..

While the lecturer guy is among those shouting about ASUU strike...

Lesson if u want to make money come out from ur comfort zone, govt work can never make u rich worldwide except u steal...

It not the case for every one... If u know u know

MisfitHPG:
it's girls like you who spread legs for 2k,that that is why you think a person risking his well being is an ingrate for rejecting 40k from a useless government spending billions for doing nothing.i am sure if a guy offers you that 40k you would open legs like the door of a shrine.useless girl,

So dumb and lame.
How some people here disgrace themselves by showing how ill- mannered or uncultured they are still baffles me.
It is an undisputable fact that we all are entitled to our opinions.
If Someone typed something you do not subscribe to or agree to,that doesn't mean you should go on a disgracing spree showing how morally depraved you are.
2021 is almost coming to an end, get some sense before 2022 finally unveils itself

FG should just round it up to 100,000. That is what they probably want and they will wait for ages.
Bunch of ingrates!

You can't be serious with this your submission because it's only the Health Workers that knows where the shoes are pinching!
During Covid-19 or not they are working to save lives and here you are speaking at the comfort of your house,abi!
As far as you are concerned, they should be satisfied, especially when the Nigerian govt ( State and Fed)are not sincere to workers negotiation- ask Nigerian Labour Congress and ASUU till date!
Tell me what other Professionals are doing that is far better than those Doctors who saved lives,!
The day you are bundled into emergency,then you will know that it is only the Doctors that have rights to declare if someone is alive or otherwise!
Nonsense talk!

If we are going by this,that means allowance should be divided by how much you paid as school fees huhhh,how.much did you pay in school,lemme divide,so you can work for me ehhhhh,by the way I will owe you from time to time

What I'm saying is that Nigerians should stop asking for much (not just this medical stuffs) when they're inclined to pay little for it.. If they want the best, they should learn to pay for it..

The year I entered the university, the VC increased our acceptance fee 5X and school fees by almost 2X. Now at least I'm seeing the changes in the school. New LTs and classrooms being built here and there. Now all the classrooms in my faculty has ACs and the building is being completed.
Students protested when the school fees, acceptance fee and hostel fees were increased.. The same students complain when they don't have enough classrooms for lectures and unequipped classrooms. They want to enjoy American standards of school yet they don't want to pay for it..

Just so you know, I'm the one paying my school fees myself and fending for myself with the little barbing that I'm doing.. So don't think I'm having things going easy for me.. But I've always known that if I want the best, I should pay for it..

Perfectbeing:
since you're comparing their salaries with the salaries of doctors in US and UK, also compare their school fees too and see that it is chicken change.

John Hopkins University medicine students pays 56,500 USD per year. So if their doctors are being paid $5,000 per month, they deserve it..
University of Ibadan medical student pays an average of N115,700 ($230) per yet. If they're paying them $500 per month, they deserve it..

Where did you see me mention any country of comparison??

Are the US AND Uk the only places Nigerian Dr are migrating tooo?? Dumboooo over sabi. Who made a comparison? How about you compare the average African country?? Like Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia how much they pay their medical graduates, then compare with your useless country.

Hmmm.... 5000 to 35 000 .... being rejected so they wouldn't have to to come to the table again. So the increase they want must be good for the next day 100 years? ... or until the end of time? UGM in in disguise seeking ransom.

Ovamboland:


They should go and contest for legislative seat to collect the huge wardrobe allowance too.

All the medical people in the house too could not push for wardrobe allowance for medics?

They should go and pay £30,000 a year for medical degree in UK

Why is the UK AND US the yardstick for y’all comparison You are getting over yourself Mr man??

I’m tasking you to compare the average salary of a Nigerian Dr with that of Dr’s from Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Algeria and compare same with Nigeria. Stop getting ahead of yourself with US AND UK because you’re yet to accept that Nigeria is a shithole, you’re looking for a bigger fish to match d1ck size with.

And what I am saying what you earn should be based on what the work or service you provide.lets use your barbing as an example,imagine that you barb like 25 people a day,you start 9 and continue till night,sometimes you have to stay overnight barbing,sometimes you have to meet clients at the their house,you do this everyday, Saturday and Sunday and at the end of the month,they give you 25,000 because someone thinks that your uncle for you to learn barbing,how would you feel

Lassa fever kills two doctors in Nasarawa specialist hospital
By Abel Abogonye, Lafia
16 December 2021 | 4:13 am

Two senior consultant gynecologists have reportedly died of Lassa fever at the Dalhatu Arafat Specialist Hospital (DASH) in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

The Guardian learnt that they contracted the disease during an emergency caesarian operation conducted on a woman, who was bleeding and admitted at the hospital, but unknown to the doctors that she had Lassa fever.

A source at the hospital confirmed that the pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital over complications arising from Lassa fever, but the consultants, who attended to her, though it was pregnancy-related complications.


The woman and the baby died some hours after the surgery.

It was further learnt that the test result showed that she had Lassa fever, which actually led to complications that resulted in premature labour that necessitated her being rushed to the hospital on emergency.

The source also disclosed that one of the doctors, who performed the operation died last week and that the test result confirmed that he died of Lassa fever, while the second doctor died yesterday.

Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the hospital, Mrs. Ruth Namo, confirmed that the two gynecologists died of Lassa fever.

It would be recalled that the state Ministry of Health last week declared that Lassa fever outbreak was imminent, as two cases of the disease was reported in the state.

The ministry also warned residents to keep their foodstuff and other items from contact with rodents and maintain good hygiene to avoid contracting Lassa fever.

What is the colour of your problem?
You failed out of med school?

I don't charge my clients chicken change. Since I give them the best service and the salon where I work is a bit standard, I should be paid more money for my good service and for the comfort they enjoy in the salon.
A barber that opens a barber shop using planks with one small standing fan and isn't that good in his job shouldn't be expected to be paid like a professional barber that spends money in his barbershop and has the best equipment that can give his customers the best comfort..

I hope this answers your question.

With this kinda wayward review.. the Nigeria health sector will never match to the rest of the world. You are trying to motivate the physicians whilst demotivating the other medical practitioners. The Nigeria health sector is a disaster.

And I agree with the commenter up there the physicians are ingrates.

The least other clinical staff got was 32k.
Must be admin that have the 15k.
Lassa fever just killed another 2 doctors in Nasarawa state.They got it from a patient the operated on.
Always remember this scenario b4 you open your mouth

KaluwisxPRO:


Ingrates for rejecting $80 as Hazard allowance? How much is a wardrobe allowance for those in the house of rep? What hazard do they face that is much more than a medical practitioner?


If you cannot afford them, then allow them leave to where they will be appreciated, with actual medical equipments. Your useless country expects Dr to lick their assess with no medical equipments, while offering them peanuts, yet expect productivity.


Let Buhari favor does in the north to venture into Medicine, let them be in charge from the north.

Thank you for this reply.

Sometimes the views of some people in the social media makes one feel that this country is hopeless. A doctor who cares for them is to be paid 40k as hazard allowance and they can't even ask how much is paid to the doctor who takes care of Buhari where he goes. Or how much is politician's newspaper allowance.

Insulting the doctors is not the way forward. It is not free money. In most employment pay their are allowances due which makes up their month end take home.

Those insulting the doctors decision to reject and comparing docs to nurses should continue. Go find out how many doctors are leaving , have left or about leaving Nigeria. Kwontinue not valuing what you have.

When last have you visited a hospital. Let insiders tell you how many doctors have left the hospitals for abroad.

Their rejecting should be meant with further negotiation. Unless you are a doctor then you can understand them. HE who wears the shoe knows where it hurts.

This is a good one from FG but it must not stop there. And doctors please please please save more lives

Lassa doesn't kill nurse?

Summery: johesu should not come close.

Such disrespect!

Doctors are ingrates

Things have to be kept in perspective, even ASUU no longer goes on strike anyhow as Nigeria has passed that stage.

You call them ingrates yet you have never protested your senators and house of reps members who collect hundreds of thousands as hazard allowance for just warming the seats in the assembly complex. This is why I always say that Nigerians deserve the hardships they're going through now and even more! People who are exposed to serious hazards on a daily basis are protesting against allocation of chicken feeeds to them as hazard allowance and you shout them down as ingrates, while people who do not face any form of hazard but get millions as hazard allowance for just warming a bench are not protested against or insulted as ingrates. There is really a fundamental problem with Nigerians, seriously!

I repeat they are ingrates. Infact average Nigerians are self centered.

Increment from 5,000 to 35-40k?

So how much are they asking for .. they should face the reality and stop comparing Nigeria to other developed world economy ... The dynamics aren't thesame

You don't need to make comparisons with the UK and US. The comparison you should make should be between the doctors who face hazardous risks on a daily basis and collect peanuts as hazard allowance, and your senators and house of reps members who collect millions as hazard allowance for just warming the seats! You can't say Nigeria is too poor as a shithole to pay doctors but not too poor as a shithole to pay millions to senators for doing nothing! The problem is not the lack of money or funds. The problem is misplaced priorities! Channel such funds to those who deserve it more and you'd see things work out in this country. Find out how much senators and other politicians in the countries you mentioned (Morocco, Algeria etc) earn as hazard allowance compared to their doctors and you'd see why you really have no point here.

Drchindo:

U call them ungrateful while senators collect over 2M+ plus as hazard allowance for just sitting down

Who is stopping doctors from becoming senators to also collect 2m?

Why not go and work with private hospitals and collect big hazard allowances? Let them try and face reality

AK481:

Lassa doesn't kill nurse?

If not for your deep seated complexes you would've known the comparison was b/w clinical and non clinical staff,its there in black and white, I only used Drs as an example especially as 2 doctors died of it about 2 weeks ago.
But your johesu mind is already running riot.
Easy

lexy2014:


From what u have written, u haven't said anything that helps us understand the justification of legislators high pay compared to that of doctors. All u are saying is that legislators are adhoc and doctors are permanent. Can u pls explain how this justifies the huge pay of legislators as compared to doctors?

U also asked: "do u know how much these lawmakers spent to be there?"

We don't no. Kindly tell us and explain how it justifies their huge pay.

Also u asked: "Can they do what ppl at the national assembly do..?"

Pls what are the things people at the national assembly are doing that u feel can't be done by others hence their huge pay?

Where do you expect the huge allowances to come from? Are you contributing anything meaningful to a health insurance fund like in UK?

There are less than 500 legislators and about 50,000 doctors and 200,000 nurses in govt employment, and you expect them to collect payment like the politicians? Why are private hospitals who collect huge bills from patients not paying the doctors and nurses better than govt owned hospitals?
How do you pay better from the chicken feed charged at govt hospitals?


Even if you share the entire budget including salary, allowances, running cost and overhead of NASS to all medical staff of govt it's barely up to 40,000 monthly for each of them.

KINGKONG:


Hustle make poverty no blind your eyes oooo..... Marine engineers for ship dey earn 80,000 NGN per day and you are calling people who dey fight for their right for good allowance ingrates.... You be real dunce

Is it govt that employs and pays the Marine engineers 80k daily?
Let the doctors go and command the same 80k daily from private hospitals and let's see how far.

Crownp:
Too many ignorant people....
Someone said medical school is almost free in Nigeria in public universities, another one said lawmakers go through tougher risks than medical practitioners, another one said medical practitioners are part of the highest paid workers in Nigeria.....
Stop reading useless blogsites!! Y'all won't listen, see your lives now, spewing rubbish all around....
Firstly, medical school has never been free or "almost free" in Nigeria.... As far as all the public universities in Nigeria is concerned, they are the ones who pay the highest school fees among all faculties and departments in universities....
Moreso, as far as Nigeria is concerned, the only risk lawmakers are facing is from fellow evil-minded politicians, doctors are exposed to communicable diseases daily, in fact medical practitioners are all exposed to several diseases, they live with the risk of death daily. The allowances paid to lawmakers can never be justified by the useless stealing job they are doing. How people are paid newspaper allowance of over 1m, newspaper that they are supposed to read regardless of being paid for it or not!
Medical practitioners are not part of the highest paid anything in Nigeria, in fact they are underpaid in Nigeria, because how can a surgeon be struggling to collect #1m salary after studying for over 14 years while their counterparts all over the world collect more than 10x the amount monthly....
Mind you, we haven't even discussed that lack of facilities on these practitioners part, non- enabling environment and irregular payment of salaries....
We have a lot of work to do in and on Nigeria

Why are you scared to mention the medical fees you claim is high in nigerian govt school side by side with medical school fees in USA UK.

Since we are comparing 10x salaries can we also compare the school fees too?
Who is picking the bills for Nigerian school relative low fees

KaluwisxPRO:


Where is it almost free? Mention the school and their fees. If Nigerians are used to half baked Dr, some of us are not. Pay medical practitioners what they deserve as a global practice.

Half baked Doctors that are sought after all over the world?

What do you mean ? Every other area of practice carries its own risk. Lots of lab scientist have gotten ailments from running test for patients, nurses have also gotten ailments from caring for patients in the ward, same goes for pharmacist who day in and out counsel patients. No risk is greater than the other.

You should always remember this before you open your mouth.

the U.S. president receives a salary of $400,000 a year

How much does a Neurosurgeon make in the United States? The average Neurosurgeon salary in the United States is $630,801 as of November 29, 2021, but the range typically falls between $474,901 and $798,201.
Whose points are baseless now

The salary of the Nigerian president is about 1m monthly while the average oil worker gets 3m monthly what's your point?

Ingrates...Some of these so called doctors are not even exposed to Hazards. Those that are even more exposed to Hazards don't even receive close to what they will be receiving now or what they are proposing... What happens to a Nurse that is always there with his/her patients or a Medical Laboratory Scientist who will always handle patients samples...

They only want to use the huge disparity in hazard allowance to deceive the general public that they are more important than others in the health sector.
