Pls say what ur sure of. No dey yan nonsense. Do u think what they are requesting for just for them. Is for all health workers which includes those u called. I don't knw why ppl don't read and just start talking. U shud asking are other health workers not on strike. Is simple. The Drs fight for them too. Have u asked ursef why only in Nigeria. Are Drs in Ghana complaining. So better stop talking if u have nothing to say.

dumodust:
Stick to being the cowards you are and stop moaning about the people leading the charge.
Bloody cowards, like nurses, lab scientists and pharmacists are not dying. Keep scurrying around behind, we are not afraid to take charge and do the dirty work for the benefit of all. That's leadership, not constant moaning and trying to be what you're not.
If you feel the demands of the docs are not in keeping with your sentiments, pls refund the federal government when the hazard allowance and other benefits come.
We are talking of people dying, and you are hear playing this stupid politics that you will forever be on the losing side.
May your bitterness be your burial

Gondonu:
Instead of the government to dialogue, it's using threat.Is that not stupid?)

Angelfrost:
Of course, leave it to Nigerian government to threaten needed and indispensable health professionals in the midst of a pandemic...

This is what happens when you have buffoons leading a nation of enlightened citizens.

Then again... What kinda enlightened citizens elect morons as leaders??!... Naija!!!

The Federal government has threatened to take action against any resident doctor on its payroll who fails to resume work today, June 17.

Recall that NARD had embarked on a nationwide strike on Monday due to the Federal Government’s failure to meet demands made by the association.

A negotiation meeting convened by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige with the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, and the leadership of the Resident doctors, ended in a deadlock on Tuesday after many hours of deliberation.

Ngige, during the meeting, stated that health workers are the essential frontline officers during the coronavirus pandemic and have suffered great mishaps across the country.

According to him, the major issues have been taken care of, while other minor issues will also be taken care of.

He said “We have paid those allowances since last night and it was directly paid into the account of recipients.

“We are also hopeful that between the IPPIS office and the Central Bank, that before 24 hours they would all be credited for April and May.

“The payment wasn’t made for only Resident Doctors, but also for consultants, nurses, pharmacists, physiologist, mortuary attendants, ICU centers, and all health care workers in coronavirus designated hospitals and all Federal Medical Centres in designate states.

“We assumed that these issues have been settled because IPPIS has shown evidence.

“We have also agreed on matters that are in court, that we should step them down so that we do not enter areas that are in the purviews of the court.

“Also, on the issue of group life insurance and the employee compensation, they have been paid and we have equally said that they have no right to make claim for the resident doctors or any other health workers that must have had a mishap in the cause of work resulting in death.

“For those who do not die or have mishap or accidents in the cause of their work but became incapacitated, they can always make claims through the Employee Compensation Act, which the Federal Government have already activated.

The appropriation for residence program has been captured in the 2021 budget and would roll over from 2020,” he said.

Also, Dr. Ehanire Osagie, while speaking said that Nigeria was the first country in the world where doctors went on strike during a global pandemic.

“The health of Nigerians is very important at this crucial time and we will ensure that the lives of Nigerians are protected, therefore, we will not allow our hospitals to be fallow.

“At this point, the health workforce is essential services and we have pleaded and have equally done everything to meet the demands that are being made by them.

“We at the Ministry of Health are ready to protect the lives of Nigerians, and we are not going to allow our hospitals to do otherwise.


“The resident doctors have told us that they are not returning to work very soon until certain conditions are met and truth be told, they cannot keep extending the goal post any time they like.

”So, Wednesday morning, those who report to work will be taken as those who are still in service, and the register will be taken and closed at 12 noon and by then we will know who wants to still be in service,” Ehanire said.

However, the doctors refused to return to the meeting after a recess was taken.

NAN reports that the National President, Dr. Aliyu Sokomba while speaking with newsmen, said that the doctors would only call off the ongoing action within 24 hours if the government brings something tangible to the table.

“This is the only way that the strike can be ended within 24 hours,” he said,

Sometimes I just look at all these Igbos celebrating Mediocrity has it gone this bad for you to be celebrating JAMB score

Well, y'all are known to suffer inferiority complex so once in a while when sometin like this happen you celebrate it like you won a Trophy.
SOUTH WEST STILL LEADS with SIX candidates even all the candidates chose SW schools, we lead while others Reverse

niyidenrele:
.. But they decided to study in the west , not from 5% ,for the reason best known to them

oloriooko:
Sourceless info

Simplyleo:
You mean oshiomole no go school?

Dis one don dey use ipob brain.

This is how 98% of ipob miscreants reason and talk.

Wickedfacts:
I'm really hoping PDP uses Obaseki as its candidate so that the courts can finish the job.

thorpido:
Well your husband does not have a responsibility to send money monthly to your parents.He could but he is not obligated to.
Your husband also does not have an obligation to contribute to your brother's wedding.It is your own obligation as the sister.He could do that however as an inlaw.
I guess the problem with your husband is that your family did not treat him well when he wanted to marry you because of the list he was given.
You both need counsel from wise elders.

This criminal Supreme Court governor should be shown the way out by Imolites and Igbos in general. The fulani caliphate would elect sensible and hard working governors in the north but would impose imbbecile and criminal on Imo State to destroy Igbo land.

The worst is that a whole Catholic priest said Uzodimma is the messiah for imo state. I don't know if messiah now has a new definition.

pesty100:
coming from you it must be the truth. LoL, baba go and find somewhere to sit jare.

pesty100:
we are 200 million+ in this country, NMA says we have only 40,000 doctors.

Felixamos:
The way news like these irritates me ehn! Such a useless govt and some youths are still fighting online over obaseki and oshiomole who are clearly only after their pockets.. Na wa!

They cannot pay the doctors na but they can budget billions for Pests control and hundreds of millions for new set of computers for immigration.. Oh I even forgot the 27billion for the renovation of national assembly.. Such a country..

pesty100:
It not like we have plenty doctors in this country before ooo!

Animaxwell:
They should be firm with this strike. You guys might criticize my opinion but trust me, this people are going through hell in this country. We all know that the government will not even show any sign of care if you contact any disease or virus yet the hazard allowance of a medical doctor is mere #5000 and yet they still owe them onto. Nothing will happen is all politicians in this country forfeits six months salary and allowances but they won't do it but will want those working tirelessly, risking their lives everyday to work without pay.

#let the strike continue

onyxo76:
from where? Chad or Somalia? no even go to fresh medical graduates those ones are just there to gather money for 4 months to write plab ,pass the exams and travel out.

onyxo76:
abi o, more than half of those I know are now in UK, another 3 are already on their way out if not for travel restrictions, even the fresh graduates too are already passing some stages of those foreign medical exams, so who will even replace all those who have left? I know of a prof of orthopedic surgery who has spent over 24 years in a teaching hospital in the town I stay, the man is now in Canada with his family since last year...we are in serious trouble in this country

DonTattaglia:
Very good. Am totally in support of this strike. Politicians and this stupid government have taken u health workers for a ride, yet they are looting and sharing billions. Doctors have families too. They are humans for crying out loud. Why will they risk their lives and receive peanuts as hazard allowance while the politicians are feeding fat. No way!!! If u are not in support, then your brain is configured to remain a perpetual FOOL.

ybalogs:
Desperation ti set in.

Confirmedzombie:
Obaseki is not a wise man at all. He is not a politician.

Edo election is not a general election. I dont see PDP defeating APC in Edo state.

Obaseki or PDP has no formidable structure in Edo state.

The APC will deploy every Arsenal to retain power.

Any river that forgets his source will dry up.
Godwin Obaseki bit more than he could chew.

Queseda:
If you're wondering why the trio of Oshiomhole, Tinubu and Buhari are the most hated politicians East of the Niger, this is just one of the reasons. From sacking their 'son' GEJ from office, to fücking all their favourite politicians - Atiku, Dino and Saraki hardcore, rubbishing the aspirations of whichever politician they show any glimpse of sympathy for - Ambode, Adeleke, Fayose.....now Obaseki don join the list, haba! This is too much. Even if na me I will hate these irrepressible trio

emkz:
PoC, I am not talking. I am writing. I know you want my attention, so I'd humour you for the one minute it would take me to write this post.

Can you please present your own arguments so we can scrutinise your IQ (I don't know if you have one, but let's assume you do).

emkz:
I was talking to people that have sense; you are obviously no where near this category.

johnmartus:
The people I'm seeing there are not Nigerians but ipobs crew.

emkz:
I didn't see this coming, I am sure the governor too didn't see it. They also included Ogiemwonyi so as not to make it look like a witchhunt.

Obaseki, please don't embarrass yourself further. This is no longer about political fairplay but outright humiliation. Drop the fight and face other things. This game is very dirty and it would be wise to know when to give up and return to the trenches.

aguerogh:
I have been enjoying the various pictures of some of the universities in Nigeria posted on Nairaland, and I have decided to post pictures of my alma mater the University Of Ghana which I believe has one of the most beautiful campuses in West Africa with a lot Greenery and infrastructure with an environment conducive for effective learning and teaching.

Located on and around the hills of Legon (Translated to knowledge Hill in the Ga language of Ghana ) Just some few Kilometers from Accra city center UG has always been the pride of Ghana producing some of the most prominent people and leaders in Ghana.
