Throwback:
So NLC and national strike is now the instrument used by a single man to right any wrong done to him?

And you say you want power to provide a new Nigeria, yet already intoxicated with Union power.

Read again and comprehend.

If Ajaero is or was wrong, is brutality the best way for a state governor to address issues?!!

I thought you all said the Judiciary is meant to handle such disputes or issues?!!

If the national leader of the NLC is going offtrack, is he a dictator that can't be called to order or removed?!!

Since when did it become right or lawful to use thugs and police brutality to solve issues of political opposition?!!


You should learn to be objective... That's the whole essence of education.

What have Imo State governor and the police chief achieved with their actions last week?!!

clearcrystal:
They are not serious.

Ajaero suddenly remembered that Imo State workers were owed 56 months areas barely 2 weeks to the governorship election.
His organized protest last week was politically motivated that's why he was beaten mercilessly.
Ajaero is nothing but a sillyyy Obidient.

I'm sure the mumu man will call of the strike before 14th November.

You are not making sense at all.

Whatever Ajaero did wrong or didn't do right, there can be no justification for what happened to him in Imo State.

If he acted unlawfully, the only thing that should have been done was to arrest him and arraign him before a competent court.

If it is okay to intimidate and brutalize the national leader of a nation's Labor union, then we might as well stop practicing this thing we call Democracy.

Let's be careful the sort of precedence we set in motion.

Already, court has issued orders to EFCC to release Former CBN governor, and they continue to disobey... Labor has already defied the Judiciary twice. Dangerous precedence of defying courts set by Buhari.

ManirBK:
This is what we get when a supposed labour union turn Party affair. They are only fighting for their interest and that of
their children's . Union is killing us slowly in
Nigeria. Even pure water has union, until we disband this so called
unions.

With Unions, look at what your leaders have done to your nation and the citizens... Just imagine if Labor unions didn't exist.

Labor unions are one of the few ways wanton and corrupt leaders can be put in check... No learned person calls for their removal.

emmnprince:
You're correct to some extent. There's standard practice in this medical field. Right? And these medical practitioners has a union body. Right? Why can't they stand on their ground and refuse to work under such inhumane or bad conditions, ehn? We are talking about surgical operations that involve the life of the one being operated on!

If they take that course of action, most citizens will suffer.

Kukutente23:
Pls be patient
We are still strategizing
We did it in Lagos for eight years

Naija nor be Lagos.

MS2471:
Speak for yourself young man

Successful in what exactly

Money serving slaves from region

I never called out or abused the man, you did... So, the joke is on you.

...And facts are facts! You and your lineage are unworthy to lace Obi's shoes.

Next time, choose your words more carefully.

Radarada!

MS2471:
You simply showed how your mother raised you

So I no go engage you

Afterall silence is the best answer for a fool

After insulting Peter Obi, a man far older than you are, and far more successful than your generation, you have the guts to call out another person's mother?!!

Please, don't add hypocrisy to your sin of stupidity.

CaptainFM1:
And indeed where are the Abacha's loot investment recovered?

Abacha's loot seems to be the best investment ever happened to Nigeria. Imagine getting those huge sum at this present day dollar rate. 25years after death, Sani still dey pay us from heaven whenever we are broke.

They will not tell us what they are doing with those money recovered. They are re-looting the recovered loots. Awon thiefnnubu government.

I keep telling you guys that there can be no progress in this nation, as long as it is being governed by criminals.

The so-called Abacha's loot will never reach the masses... Not a dime of it! The Western nations have taken their share, and the leftovers being repatriated will be re-directed to the personal accounts of a few.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
What is your point?!

Very simple... Nigerian citizens are being scammed by those they elected as usual!

The game is what it is.

Iamanoited:
TINUBU PLEASE PAY THE N35000 SUBSIDY RELIEF MONTHLY ALLOWANCE TO WORKERS AND PENSIONERS. IT IS TO BE EFFECTIVE FROM SEPTEMBER 1ST. SO SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER HAVE NOT BEEN PAID AND IT IS HURTING.

This one still dey find free money... Una never see anything.

Subsidy was only partially removed. Lol!

This administration is still subsidizing Petrol and the weak ass Naira.

If not, you should be buying petrol at #1200 per Liter based on the incoming price of over 750 per liter. Which is funny!

Naira would easily be at #1600 to a Dollar if they were no longer propping it up with loans.


Honestly... There is no significant improvement from the catastrophe of Buhari so far.

Numerouno94:
I get ur point. It was succinctly spelled out.👍 The infected tree should rather b uprooted Instead of faulting the bad fruits it produces. Not entirely the fault of the fruit but the tree itself. Ur wisdom choke. Na why I dey always call u Prof.

Bro if Leeds do anyhow them go remain for championship ooo because Leicester and Ipswich don dey run wit points. The gap jus dey expand every match day.

Leicester wey we beat on Friday...! Forget, Leeds is on fire!

EPL here we come!!!

Cmanforall:
I'm sorry for you guys.
But to be honest, that is wickedness from the part of NLC. The governor may not even be dependent on public electricity. So NLC are deliberately punishing the ordinary Imo people.
I also read the NLC president is also from Imo State. Again, he may not also depend on public electricity, as he may be living like a Nigerian multimillionaire with constant electricity.

Just out of curiosity, is power supply in Imo State regular (before the blackout)?

I'm not even from there... But I have friends living and working there.

They say light has been very good in most parts of the state, especially the state capital.

athaboi:
excuse you...who is your bro?

Apologies Sis... I didn't pay attention to your Moniker.

Cmanforall:
From neutral point, he wasn't the one that caused the darkness. And the NLC demand for him to publicly beg them and apologise is what he may not want to do, because this same plan was used against the past governor Ohakim, when he was accused of flogging a clergyman. Learnt he publicly apologised and that favoured Rochas and made Ohakim weak.
Ideally, the students should protest against NLC and even the electricity company. NLC cam use other means, but not electricity, to show their grievances. As it stands now, NLC have revealed they are political

NLC is definitely political, and that is a shame... However, widespread protest against NLC will also be interpreted as politically sponsored by Hope Uzodinma.

It then comes down to who has more to lose between the two gladiators.

Sadly, the people are the grass that suffers.

Since Hope is seeking a second term (which he will rig to win), why not meet with these people, resolve the issues raised, tender the apology (This can be done indirectly without lowering the governor's office), and ease the suffering of the citizens?

Imagine a full week without electricity... That makes no sense, especially with the current inflation and high cost of fuel.

ronalmagic10:
Was your father name struck and replaced as a ghost worker? Keep swallowing lies hook line and sinker

Yeah... Labor just chop belleful and decided to deal with Hope Uzodinma and Imo people.

As in... Such a thing will happen, and Hope Uzodinma will keep quiet and not show up receipts to prove them wrong.

Keep capping and deceiving yourself.

Kingbuhari:
you are mad... If you are not mentally sound why becoming doctor.. go to Alaba and join Ur mates there

Yet, you guys keep electing people like Buhari to lead the entire nation.

...And you have the guts to call a medical doctor mad.

The irony and hypocrisy!!!

stuffs2002:
1. The possibility of it happening in Canada is very very slim. Do you know how many surgeries are performed in Canada per day. Compare that with Nigeria and see the amount of instruments being forgotten in Nigeria.
2. How many Canadian doctors came online to justify the stupid act of their colleague.

1. How many surgeries are performed in Nigeria daily and weekly compared to Canada?!!

2. How many of such cases from above of negligence do you hear of in Nigeria despite the pitiable state of our healthcare system, which happens to be one of the worst on Earth?!!

3. How many online Canadian sites or platforms like Nairaland do you know?!!


Just dey cap upandan... If people begin call out APC and Tinubu now, you will remember that the things being complained about also happen in Canada and other nations.


Hypocrisy is a funny thing.

stuffs2002:
1. Nigerian doctors are very very careless with the health of their patients.
2. You hate the truth.

1. That is poor and unintelligent generalization, akin to claiming that all Nigerian men are philanderers.

2. I have said nothing but the truth above. Those who disagree without adequate proof are the haters of the truth.

athaboi:
Hope ofcourse doesn't have any hope of winning the election outside intensive rigging and intimation. He came 4th the other time, this time he may come 3rd bcoz of his access to public funds

Bro, he has won that selection election already.


Everyone knows this.

It doesn't matter how many votes he legitimately gets, he isn't losing that election... APC is not losing Imo State.

AriyaTV:
If this guy win this election then I will believe that Buhari is cloned as echoed by Ipobedients.

If?!! Election he has already won according to INEC. Lol!

Imo people are in for a very long ride.

ronalmagic10:
Better channel your anger to pan.dora who instructed ajaero to play politics at your expense

You are right.

Pandora (or whoever you are referring to) is the one that is owing workers over 6 months salaries and pensions.

He or she is the one sacking workers and replacing them in the name of Ghost workers.

He or she is also the one that instructed and paid thugs to beat an entire nation's Labor leader.



This Pandora seems to be more powerful than President Tinubu sef.

This Hope get mind sha...!

Your entire state has been in darkness for over a week now, and you have the guts to campaign for second term... To do what with it??!

If INEC and Supreme court were not behind him, would he not have intervened since last week?!!

This Naija ehn...!

stuffs2002:
No one forced you to be a doctor. If you know you can't do your job well, resign and go home instead of turning yourself into a murderer

Define "Murderer" please.

Are you saying the doctors intentionally leave surgical materials inside the patients to cause them harm?!!

Can you prove this?!!

Please, if you have nothing meaningful to rebut my submission with, then move along.

rapcy:
See thinking abeg

E get anybody wey force dem to work as doctor? So because they're underpaid that gives them liberty to act nonchalantly? I pray you or your loved ones never fall to such situation.

If them dey feel under paid they should sit at home. Dem no force them,

Indeed most of you don't even know the reality staring at you in the face.

Relax, when the reality of your nation hits, you will understand.

Let me give you a simple assignment first:

Leave your comfort zone, and visit public hospitals both within your state capital and local governments.

I don't support negligence, but there is no smoke without fire.

If NMA goes on strike indefinitely for these issues, people like you will still abuse them and call them insensitive.

Maybe, the entire Healthcare sector should be privatized... Let the owners of all the hospitals manage them and do proper oversight functions on them thoroughly. Maybe such things will stop.

Only problem will be that the same you people abusing doctors won't be able to see them at all then due to the incredibly high cost.

Numerouno94:
My oga. It's bn a while. How is our club Leeds united doing?

Btw, I suspect u must b a doc or a medical personnel, because the way u dey vex for the op.

But on a serious note some docs in Nigeria re becoming nonchalant wit their duties, even the ones in private hospitals. U don't transfer ur aggression on patients because the government fails to do wat is right. If we all decides to b nonchalant wit our duties because of the failure of the government, I bet u, everyone will bear the brunt.

Bro, everyone is already bearing the brunt.

Look at your Police, Soldiers, Traffic wardens, Prison wardens, name them...! They are underpaid, stressed out, unhappy, and taking it out on those who cross their paths.

I have called out medical negligence on this platform severally... Last time a lady died because doctors refused to treat her without police report, I called for their sack and indictment.

But, we are missing the point!

The System is the issue here... It is rotten, poorly funded, poorly supervised and corrupt.

You have a Minister of Health, what does he do?!! Absolutely nothing!

You have health committees in the Senate, what do they do?!! Nothing!

You have annual budgets, what is the share of Health sector?!! From state to federal, peanuts!


I have gotten tired of blaming those at the level of professional conduct because they are supposed to be supervised, checked on, rewarded, staffed, etc... But, none of these happens.


Meanwhile.... Leeds is third on the Championship log, and they are doing great. At this rate, we will be back in the EPL alongside Leicester next season.

soccerlite:
It will happen to you

The reason you stated above is the same reason they will give your people

It will happen to me?!! Abi, it has happened to me?!!

I have lost loved ones due to the issues mentioned above, so don't tell me crap.

The doctors have their blames, but the major issue is that the healthcare sector is decayed and almost gone!!!

Go round the local health centers in Nigeria... Leave your comfort zone and do some fvcking research... You'll understand better.

Yes, doctors and healthcare professionals should do better, but their working conditions have to improve!!! It is unacceptable.

I have bought fuel and other things to help doctors save lives in some communities and hospitals.

Many of you just come online to rant... You don't have any idea the level of shit you guys are in this nation.

BigBashiru:
Blackman with ur funny mentality....if xthey are overworked and underpaid then they should resign....meanwhile those xthat do this are private hospital owners...the Blackman always creating excuses for incompetence.

I have called out medical negligence on this platform severally... Go and verify please.

From private to public health industry, our healthcare is far beneath global standard... It is shocking and unacceptable.

It is despicable and weird to keep defending corrupt leaders who don't ever use the healthcare facilities in the country, but call out the overwhelmed doctors and nurses here.

When these same people flee the nation in droves, you all will still call them out, while defending those in power.

Well... Many more of them will leave. May God help you all!

Sabadon:
you just gave the perfect reply I wanted to give, in as much as such mistakes should be avoided at all costs, imagine just a Dr and an assistant in the theater with an anesthetist no intra op or peri op nurse who would be in a position to do this, why because they are understaffed. So how will a Dr start taking note of how many artery forceps or towel clips are there after a long tiring surgery. Just imagine supplementary budget passed with practically nothing...like "zero" allocation on health, how do you think manpower would be maximized, blame your leaders for all the woes

Some of the doctors even perform the surgeries unassisted, especially during emergencies and the entire staff are overwhelmed.

These people calling doctors to resign are quite shockingly narrow-minded.

I don't support negligence, but before you accuse someone of being negligent, ensure his working conditions are of international standards, and we all know that is a far cry here.

fkelly:
U are myopic and pathetic in reasoning.

So poor salary is enough reason why they should continue doing costly mistakes that will likely leed to death of patients.

You are not myopic and very awesome in reasoning. Bye!!!

Let Nigerian doctors be abeg.

They are overworked and underpaid.

How much does you government budget for healthcare every year?!! Compare that to what they budget for their personal cars, houses, yachts, etc?!!!

In some public hospitals, surgeons are practically doing 5 surgeries within a short time frame under the most inhumane conditions...!

Maybe you don't know some surgeries are performed without electricity and adequate ventilators and ventilation.


You need to go out there and do some research! Then, you will see how rotten your nation is.

Barely 6 months in office, your president has already gone abroad for healthcare twice.

Even your Labor President has been flown abroad for mere punch in the face.

So, what exactly are you dragging the few hardworking doctors for?!!! Instead of pressing for better healthcare system and better remuneration and working conditions for your doctors.

You people should continue electing useless leaders, then turn around to wail like idiots.

aQUINandmore:
a whole lot but you ended up saying nothing.

Don't mind him... Using empty words to justify rubbish.
