this portion of the road is always flooded anytime there is rain fall. The water doesn't flow out, no drainage, it's stays there for weeks till it gets dried up. it has always been like this from year to year. The worst part is that the gvt pretend not to be aware and people's car kept getting stocked inside it. and it's a major road into Benin city from Lagos. A responsible and serious gvt should take action immediately.

I can't believe I am quoting you but this is not in all cases.
Some men who you would think are in their 30's are actually in their 20's in other words men also age faster.
Sometimes how you take care of your body matters.

Because you cannot marry a woman that is older than you does not mean that it is not advisable.

okay

Joint Health Sector Unions(JOHESU), Statement on Honourable Ministers of Health(Prof. Isaac Adewole) Stand on Health Sectors Salary Structures
21/May/2018

FALSEHOOD ON THE SALARY STRUCTURES IN THE HEALTH SECTOR; A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC AND TRIVIALISATION OF THE CRY FOR JUSTICE BY PROF. ISAAC ADEWOLE HONOURABLE MINISTER Of HEALTH

It is said by one of the holy books that" the truth shall set you free" and it is also common knowledge that falsehood and lies are forever disappearing things, because whenever the truth appears, falsehood and lies disappear. The falsehood and lies being fed the public by the Honourable Minister is not only condemnable but also disappointing and shocking.

The falsehood and lies being paraded about by the Honourable Minister of Health is that other Health Workers under the Umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions are asking for the same salary with his colleagues 'the Doctors'. While on a Channels Television program: The Honourable Minister said "the only problem with the ongoing strike by the JOHESU is that the group is asking for the same salary with Doctors" in fact this is a white lie and also an instrument of diversionary tactic. It is unfortunate and sad that the Honourable Minister has decided to abandon the subject matter in contention which is better working condition in the Health Sector and the general improvement of facilities, manpower and services in the sector, rather than face these challenges in the health sector, the Honourable Minister is busying himself as the spokesman for the Nigerian Medical Association.

We want to inform the general public that the Honourable Minister of Health should be "for nobody but for everybody" in the Health Sector, but it is evidently clear that Professor Isaac Adewole is the Minister for Doctors and not for all health workers.

The present crisis in the health sector is as a result of the trivialisation of the cry for justice. The general public must know that at no point in time did JOHESU demand for the same salary scale with Doctors. But the failure of the meetings held on (1). Wednesday, 25th April, 2018, (2). Monday, 30th April, 2018, (3). Thursday, 3' May, 2018, (4). Wednesday, 9' May, 2018, (5). Tuesday, 15' May, 2018, (6). Wednesday, 16th May, 2018, left the health workers with no choice but to take the last but most painful option of continuing the ongoing strike which was preventable, but for self-centred reasons. It is not only important but central to let the general public and stakeholders in the health sector know that a fresh doctor in a government employment earns N312,944.83 per month, that is CONMESS 3 (CONHESS 11 for JOHESU). Whereas other health workers, would have to soil and toil for three to nine years before getting to CONHESS 11 which has a take home pay of N255,184.83 with a differential of N57,760.00 which represents 23% difference (if adjusted from the present earning of 223,345.58). So where lies the truth behind the propaganda that Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) is demanding the same salary structure with doctors. (Please see attached earnings in the health sector).

It is obvious that in Nine years that it takes a health worker to climb to CONHESS 11 where he earns N255,184.83, the doctor has pocketed 86,238,080, if stagnated for the period which is impossible. We want the Honourable Minister of Health to tell the world how on earth could a health worker who enters the public service in Nigeria on CONHESS 9 which is the same as GL 10 and earns N161,670.00 with a proposal to increase to N190,000.00 be the same as a fresh doctor who earns N312,944.83 at the entry point. This is nothing but a master and servant relationship, in fact worse still, graduate Nurses who handle the bulk of patient care in the hospitals are on GL8, which is CONHESS 7 with a meagre monthly take home of between N97,000 and N118,000 which is almost half of the take home for doctors. In this case who is deceiving who?

The truth is that Doctors are usually the first to talk about international best practices; for the information of the Honourable Minister of Health and his co-doctors it is important to state a case study in Britain our colonial masters. In the wages of health professionals in UK Public Service, a perfect example is the fact that a doctor in the U.K at entry point earns £26,000.00, per annum while a radiographer earners, £23,000.00 per annum. This is what relativity in the salary structure in he Nigeria should look like. JOHESU is therefore appealing to the Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR to restructure the Federal Ministry of Health and the entire health sector A position where the Honourable Minister of Health is a Doctor, the Minister of State for Health is a Doctor, the Director Hospital Services is a Doctor, it and Several other departmental heads in the Federal Ministry of Health s are doctors does not give a clear vision and proper direction for our health system.

Our constant position of allowing professional Health Administrators run our health system is the only solution to the quagmire facing our nation today. We have continued-to do the same thing over the years by allowing doctor to administratively run our health system, and we have continued to have the same result of poor health indices. It is time to make the required change, that change should be now.

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Long Live President Muhamniadu Buhari, GCFR!!

Long Live Joint Health Sector Unions!!

A CALL TO SACK ISAAC ADEWOLE
It is evident that the minister of health in person of Isaac Adewole has been instrumental in driving our health care into the abyss. He has shown he has a loose association with the truth both on and off air. Pharmacists, Doctors ,nurses, lab scientists and every other group that comprise the health care apparatus all agree on this one thing that as the health minister, he has presided over the most irresponsible era in our health care history in Nigeria.
Not failing to mention he has ridiculed the government of President Mohammadu Buhari with is strong will of nothingness. He should be expunged from the cabinet with immediate effect. This is a clarion call on all well meaning Nigerians who seek a better health care system in Nigeria. This petition will be collected and forwarded to the presidency as evidence of his gross ineptitude.
Thank you as you

After all said & done, I was speaking & gisting with a doc friend over the JOHESU strike, do u want to know the reason behind why NMA are against us & our demand according to him?

Doctors became uncomfortable since JOHESU emerged some years ago simply because of our large number and affiliated unions. They see us as a big threat to their advancement.

Shortly after JOHESU emerged, they began to see the effect of their unity in diversity as they fight for progress.

He highlighted some of the achievement thus:

Degree nurses now begin internship hence, they no longer respect doctors like before.


MLS (Medical Lab Scientist) went to court and won against pathologist hence rendering pathologist jobless soonest. This is their biggest headache. Anytime they are in meeting & pathologist issue is discussed, it is always with fear & palpitations as pathologist always lament accusing NMA officials of complacency and neglect. Sometimes, the pathologist often leave the meeting in rage. They accused AMLSN (Association of Medical Lab Scientist of Nigeri) of trying to render pathologist jobless. If we succeed in sending them out of lab, where will they go to? A big question to NMA.

Doctors are afraid that JOHESU has money to bribe in a corrupt country like Nigeria and get any judgement & circular anywhere, anyhow. That has been JOHESU style.

Doctors are on the verge of relegation ever since JOHESU began agitation of headship of hospital which doctors sees as their legitimate right. If such is taken over by JOHESU, what else is left for doctors?

JOHESU members no longer have regard for doctors like before, this is a big threat to NMA.

Pharmacist and physiotherapist now claimed autonomy to treat & manage patients on their own, even nurses and beginning to lay hold of such claims; what else will doctors do? This JOHESU want to render doctors irrelevant and relegated. NMA is saddled with the responsibility of retaining doctors honour and pedigree; that was why NMA had not rested since JOHESU began their uprising as doctors termed it.

Everybody want to become consultant! This is the biggest fear & intimidation that JOHESU had poised so far. Consultants are the lords of medicine who are being worshipped and revered by doctors, now JOHESU want to become lord, there shouldn't be two different lords in hospital, these will lead to anarchy and chaos and disrupt the hierarchical orders in the hospital.

He asked me, if u are a doctor what will u do? You guys want to render us useless, irrelevant, redundant and even jobless, so expect us to seat back and watch? This nonsense have to stop! Enough is enough!

I just feel I should share it with u all.
Please, kindly share this with all JOHESU affiliates so that they know the kind of battle they are into.

The Nigerian Politician's Approach to Governance; Fire brigade Approach, the culture of idiots:

It was in late 2007. Ekenedilichukwu Motors Boss was being laid to rest in his hometown of Okofia Nnewi.

Okofia Nnewi houses the Basic Medical Science faculty and the College of Health Sciences of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Univeristy Nnewi campus.

The road to this school that continues producing thousands of health workers; doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists, anatomists etc was (or is) in great disrepair. Cars hardly ply the very bad road.

The government of Anambra state in Awka did not remember that the road existed or maybe that the school existed.

The school and the road looked like what Nollywood would use to act a village scene in the 1920s. No electricity, no roads, no water, with rats and squirrels sharing the same space with these medical doctors and health care workers to be.

But during the burial of Ekenedilichukwu Motors boss, the government tarred the road from the junction down to his house and stopped the work immediately after his house.

His burial would bring many foreign and local VIPs to Anambra state. The governor had to be seen to be working.

.....................................................................

The entire road in Nnewi, the busiest and largest industrial city in Anambra state were completely dilapidated.

Nkwo Nnewi houses the biggest motorcycle spare parts market in Africa.
Thousands of shops in that market though looking like scenes from the 18th century houses multiple hundreds of millions of Naira and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Nnewi was left to rot untill Ikemba Nnewi, the Biafran Hero and liberator General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu died.

In 3 days, the government of Anambra state tarred all the roads leading in and out of Nnewi.

Ojukwu's burial was estimated to attract and indeed attracted thousands of important dignitaries including serving heads of State.
The state government suddenly remembered that Nnewi had roads and was an economic hub. It took the death of Ikemba to build Nnewi roads, which has since been left without any attempt at repair.

...................................................................................................
Most Reverend Dr. Valentine Ezeonyia was the bishop of Aba for almost 25 years.

During this time he built more than 7 hospitals, countless schools, banks, and church owned industries all owned by the Aba Catholic diocese.

When he died in 2015, the Catholic faithful were the ones to contribute money to tar the STATE GOVERNMENT ROAD leading to the Cathedral.

The ignoble governor of Abia state then, Theodore 'Ahayafuo' Orji was later pelted with water satchets and prevented from giving his speech during the funeral.

..................................................................................................

The people of Oko in Anambra state have been living with poorly maintained roads and facilities. No available security and non-existent street lights.

Oko houses the Federal Polytechnic Oko, the school single handedly engineered to become a federal university by Dr. Alex Ekwueme.

It took the death of Alex Ekwueme for the Anambra state government to tar the roads, put street lights, install air conditioned tents and even the church that was used for his funeral got a face lift.
...................................................................................................

President Muhammadu Buhari is said to have spent more than one billion naira during the burial of Alex Ekwueme.

General Buhari jailed Alex Ekwueme unjustly for 22 months and even his allowances as a deputy president was irregular.
President Buhari had promised that he would use Nigerian health care facilities during his campaigns in 2014.

But the president has since confessed upon winning the elections that he had been using his UK doctors since time immemorial even before he became a head of state.

The Aso rock clinic in Abuja has no xrays or syringes according to Aisha Buhari the wife of the president, but Buhari has spent more time in UK hospitals than he has spent governing.

Even Yusuf his son was flown abroad for medical care after carelessly endangering his life and other motorists.

Chris Nwabueze Ngige, the man who had installed a public borehole in my community that worked for only 2 days would boast that the president flew Alex Ekwueme to london to access care.

This short man bothering on the height of a pygmy sadly happens to be a medical doctor and was not even ashamed that in a country of nearly 200 million black heads, there was no facility to treat the former vice president.

This little man would never reflect that Nelson Mandela and Jacob Zuma and all other south african heads of state have never been treated outside their country.
............................................................................................

It is evident from the foregoing events that the Nigerian political class do not care at all if the masses live, Bleep, and die in horrible circumstances, but are quick to score cheap points, pose for the camera and deceive the world that they are working.

These people are so insensitive that they boast of using state resources to source for personal treatment overseas, expect the people to lick their ass for performing their civic duties and discharging their responsibilities as officials and revel in vain glory.

Clearly if it takes the death of a prominent person to remedy the amenities in a community as it plays out in Nigeria, one can then justifiably say that it would take the massive death of the Nigerian prominent political class to get the country to transit from a zoo to a human enclave.

That argument is justifiable.

Chimonie:
Presently, there is a great traffic at Onitsha head bridge due to an alleged local government election going on in Delta State. Is this wise? We hear the road will be blocked till 3pm. Travellers and all are stranded.

its painful and disheartening what we are doing to each other in this country. I have been in this holduo for the past 6hrs,. nothing is moving . The next thing you will hear is that PDP won all the seat, does this worth the suffering my people? its a federal road allow us to pass, it doesn't stop your election and people voting.

The statements being credited to past and present IG's that bail is free any where in this country is a lie. I stand bold to say its a colossal and destructive lies. Those men should burial their heads in shame for not being able to reform the police force. I have being to police station several times, and the men on black makes it clear to me that I should forget about that statement. in fact I was made to sign a paper where they wrote bail is free but they collect huge some from me for my person. Nigerians are Languishing in police station everyday because they have no money for bail. Nigerians are being extorted daily through bail. Men of good conscience should rise up to this despicable act and put it to rest. police is never our friends and can never be. I rest my case

she has sent me pictures and even video of her severally but I don't still understand her acting up

sorry for that. she declined the first attempt of seeing her in person. and she has not given room for the second attempt either, rather, all I see is not replying chats and not picking calls. I can't give cash to whom I have never set my eye on. even last week she asked me to scratch her airtime , I did (200). but she never called me with it. should I talk to her elder brother?

thanks kimbra
