Racoon:It's better to shut up rather than run your mouth about what you know nothing about. The MDCN (Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria) is the regulatory body in charge of licensing doctors and regulating their practice in the country. The NMA is just what it is: An association, not a regulatory body. 50 Likes 4 Shares |

Racoon: Read well and understand, don't just read one or two lines like your other lazy youths that don't read. The regulatory council is not the same as the association, it cannot be, but the regulatory council has allowed the association to blur the line between the two 23 Likes 2 Shares |

This one na doctor's matter. This case would definitely lead to the weakening of NMA as a Union which would gradually reduce there influence in the healthcare polity. Most unions in this country serve as a means to extort people. NMA as a body seems to be a backbone which fights and protects the rights of doctors especially from the government. They also serve as a Union used to fight other healthcare stakeholders. 8 Likes |

Basic:Do you read that one of the antagonism of the petitioner against the MDCN is the issue of a just constituting a delegate body that unilaterally determined the fate of doctors via a delegate system that does not allow for participatory association? Meanwhile, the MDCN have been imposing the illegal building levy in collaboration with the NMA. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why is it that anything that has to do with union is always to extort money from members or the general public ? To even join the association the form i will just type in my house and print from business centre with 200 they would ask menber to pay 10,000 They would open office on people's head. 4 Likes |

Racoon: NMA is not a regulator it's just an association just like Nigerian Society of Engineers and Nigerian Institute of Architects. The regulator of the medical(doctors) profession is MDCN. By the way, I always salute the doggedness of the Yoruba in activism. It's Firdaus Amasa who fought her way until the hijab was allowed to be donned during call to bar events. 7 Likes 1 Share |

MDCN issues practicing licence. A doctor that intends to renew his annual licence should not be forced to pay association levies (building levy especially ) before MDCN will issue his/her licence to practice for the year. This judgement will influence decisions of other professionals who are stifled with various forms of ridiculous levies by their professional associations. The extortion must stop!! 13 Likes 2 Shares |

NMA is a medical association for medical doctors and dentist, and not a regulatory body. Medical and dental council of Nigeria is a regulatory body saddled with the responsibility of issuance/revocation of licences and regulation of practices. Nigerian Society of Engineers is next in line. They extort their members too much. COREN is enough! Racoon: 6 Likes 1 Share |
