Is he not the commissioner for health in lagos

He is.

afrodoc2:
There are so many reasons why this policy will not give you the expected outcome. Let me just list a few.

1) You don't become a paediatrician within 5 years of graduation, so this bill if passed into law WILL NOT ensure that there is a paediatrician for your child.

2) The average work experience of doctors japaing is probably about 5 or more years already so the actual positive effect of this bill in terms of adding to the medical work force will be minimal. Most japa doctors spend close to 5 years already in Nigeria before exiting so the only thing this bill will do is antagonize the few that want to leave early by its similarity to indentured servitude/modern slavery.

3) Even if you are abkle to keep them back for 5 years what you will get will be a situation whereby doctor exit after the 5-year period will explode beyond what we have now, leading to a situation whereby only inexperienced doctors would be left in the country.

4) You will also have some medical graduates leaving the country for other African countries (and Caribbean countries) to start work as house officers and getting their full registration after 1yr rather than wasting 5 years in Nigeria to get the same full registration. You will be losing these ones from Year 0 not Year 5.

We have not mentioned the illegality involved in witholding full registration form doctors when the standard practice in all the sane parts of the world is to award full registration after completion of internship/housemanship.

Then there is the fact that all other public university students are also "subsidized" so i wonder why only doctors are being targeted to bear the brunt of a failed system. If we ask now, people will say doctors' jobs are special and they need to make the sacrifice. If we ask for better conditions and pay now, the same people will say doctors are not doing any special job and should go and sit down jo.

I said it here the day the issue started that the govt should allow tertiary education to be fully autonomous and let schools charge rate that can take care of the schools needs while the govt help the less privileged with scholarships and education loans.

That way you get a better school funding, no ASUU strike, better learning environment.

If you incorporate it with better welfare package and overhaul of the health sector, you have started solving the issue from the root cause.

Itsrm:
You don't even need Tinubu to enter and remove it before you know what will happen.

Nigeria Labour Congress has already done a summersault that subsidy removal will be resisted.

I pray they succeed anyway because I'm heavily reliant on fuel and it will take the grace of God to get any significant raise at work to compensate.

If Tinubu remove fuel subsidy today, even me go protest because the way things go skyrocket no be small thing. That’s why i don’t want Buhari to remove the subsidy on his way out. Let Tinubu be the one to make the decision so we can start fighting within ourselves when he goes ahead and do it. 😂

Unlimited22:
You don turn fencist abi 😎

On this particular topic, my stand is clear.

If the intention of the bill is to stop brain drain in the health sector then the best thing to do is to do total revamp and not doing cosmetic facelift that doesn’t even touch the root cause of the issue.

sod09:
During ebola health workers sacrificed their health many died, nothing was done to their family
During COVID many health workers sacrificed their lives some died our politicians embezzled the money, some kept parliament to expire but health workers should stay because 1 million will die

Make Una they play

The health sector needs total overhaul urgently.

Make Tinubu just give us Prof Akin Abayomi abeg.

Both of una go still come down to my solution sha. 😂

The bill supporters will shift ground

Those against the bill will also shift ground.

Na the middle I sit down like this.

Itsrm:
What else is new? If you don't support Obi, you must have corn in your pocket. If you support the bill, you must be an APC apologist.

We must all think the same way and support the same cause like headless chickens

All the 3 candidates said they were going to remove subsidy during the campaign.

Wait make Tinubu enter and remove the subsidy and see how they will begin to blame APC people as if the principal they supported didn’t subscribe to it.

Me myself is even against the subsidy removal

liveLongNprospa:
Larride called it out..

Some people are blind.

Maybe iz.zou that supported the bill is an APC man or even itsrm.

Unlimited22:
Yes. By enslaving others.


Me, I won't fault the intention behind it, but if you actually want to solve a problem, at least engage those who are most affected before you begin to act.

True.

Unlimited22:
Lol
We're just 4 Optometrists in our unit and one of them is our hear of unit, which means he's automatically secomd on call and we have learned the hard way not to call him when we have a case. The other is a pregnant woman who's also carrying a toddler.


Me and my Oga dey do 15 days straight call and we dey still work the next day.

There was one week that I was leaving the hospital by 1am daily and still going to work the next day. I spent the last governorship election day in the hospital from 9 to 11pm.

Bros, we don see things. And my schedule is even light because of the kinds of patients I see. The MBBS guys are seeing actual shege. Them dey even sleep for hospital. I've not had to, thus far.

What a ghetto. Na to run away.

Roland17:
One of my problems with audiobooks is that I would have to save them over a long period of time on my device. This is because, I am the kind of reader that would revisit a book I read 2 years ago or few months ago and want to review a few things. I can’t do that with audiobook, except I save them and that eats a ton of space on my devices. Some people rent or borrow hardcover books, no be me! I prefer to own my books.

e-books should solve that problem, right?

That’s how I read Ted Dekker “The Circle Trilogy”. I read a snippet from the first book “Black” and just got hooked.

Black - Red - White. An absolute masterpieces, though it’s Christian fiction.

I heard he wrote a fourth book “Green” but I haven’t gotten around to read it.

afrodoc2:
I love hardcover books but the time to sit down and focus on one book no dey these days.
Most of my reading now is through audiobooks while driving. It’s also a good time to listen to podcasts. Audiobooks and podcasts have replaced radio for me while driving.

I tried reading a book through audiobooks once, I slept off. 😂

DissTroy:
Here's another example I read about last week:

Amsterdam tells English men between the ages of 18 and 35 to stay away from their city as they are uncouth nuisances.

Blunt. They are complaining the English don't respect their Netherland hosts.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/travel/europe/amsterdam-tells-brits-stay-away-29576705

This one shock me sha. 😂

Brits must have some reputation

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I can never understand the need to talk down on Achebe or Soyinka

Especially Soyinka...

Suddenly Nobel Laureate na wetin dem dey issue for Apongbon.

Too low, in my opinion[/color]

There are some discussions I no Dey even engage myself into because it can spiral very quickly.

Ibime:
Franch speaking Canadians are extremely snobbish

If you meet them in another country and ask them directions or question in English, they will pretend they can't speak English. I have personal experience of this. I was shocked when I saw the same person later speaking English . That's when someone explained to me that Quebecans will never acknowledge English

I even heard you have to understand and speak French well as a lawmaker in Quebec. (I’m not entirely sure of the veracity of the claim).

These bigots in Canada 😡

course.

We will remind both husband and wife about “their language” whenever they want to contest for any post again.

raumdeuter:
So what is the solution given the total condemnation for RUGA by almost every state

Na political condemnation.

monerozi5590:
Do you know how much you can use to import grass.? Grass you can get in bushes in Nigeria.

This has been happening since time immemorial. People have been roaming with their livestock since the Bible time.

For now, there's no solution for now.

And herders that destroy crops should be made to pay. The bad ones among them should be dealth with mercilessly.

Ok boss

Because they want to make huge profit, we should allow them to continue to do open grazing, trespassing on peoples land, destroying their farm and means of livelihood and even going as far as killing these farmers.

Shey na simulation Dey happen this night? 😡

monerozi5590:
If it is done in the north, what will happen during dry season? Remember, they are always in the move in search of grasses.


Despite the ban on open grazing in some states, has there been total compliance? The Fulanis have been grazing their cattles openly because even the government knows that's not the solution.

You do know you can import grasses right?

Because the Fulani have been doing open grazing doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do and the govt has suggested RUGA which is basically what I’m telling you that was opposed.

Open grazing should be outlawed totally. If you want to run your personal business, go and find grass and water for yourself.

Please don’t go and make this argument outside.

raumdeuter:
Are these ranches not RUGA that was opposed

Yes. It is.

monerozi5590:
Which region will the ranches be constructed? We are talking of 90+ percentage of Cattle in Nigeria

Private business is about how to maximise profit. The goal is for huge return.

You mean we don’t have lands in the country that ranches can be constructed in?

So they can make huge returns while ruining peoples farm and killing people?

Do you even know how you sound like this? 😡

airmark:
I saw a video of Datti on Channels TV crying because of attacks on his family on social media. Tinubu is supposed to have been drowned in his own tears by now.

Their hypocrisy is in 4D

monerozi5590:
They can travel miles in search of grasses. What you are proposing is too expensive and it can never work for now.

Expensive for who? It’s not as if they are the one that’s going to be establish the ranch by themselves, it’s the govt that’s going to establish it. All they are paying is service charge to use the place.

It’s obvious you guys ain’t ready for any solution.

Amigoss:
Is that why you are now in your feelings? Lmao

Go and ask your father at home.

Bastard.

Donjazet2:
Even larride who despite having sold his soul for crumbs was truly cool, jovial and respectful has now lost every single shred of that.

Walahi, what APC cannot destroy does not exist. 🫢🤭

If you don’t want thunder to strike you this evening, you better be careful about how you are going to be quoting me tonight.

I have no time for all of you stinking hypocrisy.

monerozi5590:
I will always condemn those that enter people's farm.

This is dry season. If you come to Northern Kaduna right now , the whole place is dry and plain. No grass anywhere at this time. So they will keep pushing pushing further in search of this grasses.

This thing is complicated. How do you want them to go into such distances in search of grasses without their cows.

Sit and listen to them. Is whole lot complicated than the way you are seeing it.

So instead of calling on the govt on establish a ranch where they can rear their cattle without stress while they only pay charges to use the ranches, they had rather be roaming up and down and be looking for free grass to eat?

You do know this is the major cause of the farmers - herders clash right?

We are not serious in this country.

Segedinho:
I think we are too primitive in all aspects to be considered a growing federation.

At this time and age,we are still contemplating on open grazing even in d midst of a never-ending herders/farmers clashes.. it is ridiculous to see cattle still blocking roads n causing chaos

It doesn’t make sense one bit.

You will abuse and drag everyone irrespective of what or who they are but you don’t want to be dragged.

Bunch of retards.

Theflint1:
Interesting, so your new method is to attack people's children, children that don't even know what politics is not to mention voting or having opinions to offer their parents is who you guys have chosen to direct your bile towards? This is surely abnormal, but I'm not surprised, it's very on brand for APC/BAT supporters.

Ogbeni shut up your stinking hypocrisy out of my sight.

Go and preach to your choir members that were busy abusing other people kids and bringing them
Into politics because their father didn’t agree or vote for their messiah.

Fascist radarada

monerozi5590:
. This one can never work oh. They will tell you the motor parks government provided for motorists. Are there paying for the use of the land? They only collect their normal tickets dues.


Grasses and water, very expensive for them. Is a business and they have done their analysis. The Fulanis own 90 + cattle in Nigeria. We are talking huge numbers here.

They will rather roam with their cattles for fresher and free grasses in the bushes. That way, they will save cost.

This doesn’t make sense. Cattle rearing is a private business. The analogy with motor park doesn’t cut it.

They are not providing their own grasses neither their own water currently but they are taking the profit 100% while laying waste to farmers farm and even killing some of them.

If they want to roam about, then they can do it in their compound and provide grass for them. Not trespassing into other peoples land and farms to feed their cattles.
