No need to fear Ebola, I'm so happy cos I was afraid to resume work when NMA Calls off strike,but now now let the work begins

TKM-Ebola, a drug developed by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. has been approved by U.S. regulators.
The Food and Drug Administration had previously put tests of the drug on hold.
The Vancouver-based company said yesterday that the agency altered the therapy’s status to possibly allow its use in those infected with the virus that has killed 932 people in West Africa since March

for details His Excellency,
Sen. Anyim pius Anyim
Secretary to the government of the federation,
Aguda House, Abuja
Your Excellency,
Inclusive Labour Relations - Essential for Public Health care Delivery
We bring you good tidings and continue to wish your excellency the vvery best as you tackle various challenges in the task of nation building. Recent developments, with regards to the health sector, compel us to reach out to you again, as they pose a danger to the necessary stability for qualifity public health care delivery. www.medicalworldnigeria.com
The Joint health sector unions have continued to observe and appraise governments negotiations with the striking doctors under the aegis of the NMA. Ordinaritly, in line with existing labour laws, the NMA, a professional association of doctors is certainly not a legitimate platform to negotiate conditions of service of its members. We have on numerous occasions drawn the attention of the federal government to this reality in addition to a court judgement on same by the national industrial court of nigeria, enugu, unfortunatley though, Governments continued negotiations with NMA has confirmed that the government has found it convenient to sacrifce the interet of other health professionals and the rule of law yet again to favour the NMA.
While the government gives the impression on one hand to JOHESU that some of our demands have been referred to the yayale ahmed presidential committee for mediation, government has actually gone ahead to accede to all the 24 comandments of the NMA, including issuing new circulars in june and july to ourtrightly jeopardize the MOU of june 5, 2014 as authenticated by our team and that of government.
Specifically, we put on record that government has outrightly compromised the welfare of our members and the promotion of harmonoius industrial relations and peace in the health sector in the reflected areas:
1) That appointments into the position of deputy chairman - Medical advisory committe (DCMAC) will continue. This is despite the fact that the enabling act setting up teaching hospitals in Nigeia has no provision for this position, making such appointment outrightly illegal.
2) Government has agreed with NMA that health workers will no longer be allowed to get to the apex of their careers in the public service as provided for in their schemes of service to satisfy the ego trip of nigeria doctors.
3) An approval of the skipping of CONMESS 3 by doctors amounts to a violation in the relativity of the CONHESS and CONMESS Scales. This relativity should remain sacrosant in the spirit of the 2009 collective barganing agrement. www.medicalworldnigeria.com
4) Tragically, and in what is certainly a climax of the absurd, government has again traded away the rights of all health workers, other than doctors, to be designated consultants in their areas of competence through a new circular that now provides unholy clauses that read inter alia "the designation of consultants should only be used for personnel with qualifications registrable with the medical and dental council of nigeria" MH/PM 138/Vol.111/83 18th july 2014. It is ridiculous that consultancy status approved for health care providers will be at the whims and caprices of MDCN, an agency that regulates only doctors.
5) Government contunues to dilly dally on the payment of arrears of our members, following approval of adjustments on the CONHESS Scale as approved since jan 2014, while it has now come with specific action plan for payment of doctors
6) The distateful withdrawal of the CBN circular on the importation of invitro diagnostic, on the prompting of NMA, gives the impression that government will never stop treating the welfare of other healthworkers with disdain as NMA and its members continue to enjoy a free reign in dictating the latitudes and dimensions the interest of its members can be regulated in the health sector.
7) Government policy now compels a formal training at the expense of the federal government, exclusimedicalworldnigeria.comvely for resident doctors in a multidisciplinary sector, where a plethora of care providers are burdened with training and manpower development at their own costs.
Attempts by government to formally restrict appointments of CMD/CMACs to only doctors while deceiving the joing healht sector unions that the matter had been refered to the yayale ahmed presidential panel for mediation

The Belgian has returned to
Goodison Park permanently,
where he scored 15 league goals
on loan from Chelsea last term,
after falling further down the
Stamford Bridge pecking order
Jul 30, 2014 20:55:00
Everton have
completed the
signing of Romelu
Lukaku from
Chelsea on a five-
year deal for a fee of £28 million
(€35m).
The 21-year-old spent last season
on loan at Goodison Park, scoring
15 Premier League goals, and has
now made his move permanent
after not featuring in Blues boss
Jose Mourinho's plans for the new
campaign.
Everton made a breakthrough in
agreeing terms on a deal for the
Belgium international - a fee that
eclipses the previous €19m club-
record signing of Marouane
Fellaini.
Lukaku, who enjoyed an extended
break after his World Cup exploits
with Belgium, was thought to be
keen to be reunited with Roberto
Martinez, under whom he
flourished last term.
And, upon completing his move,
he told Everton's official website:
"I am really excited about
rejoining Everton. I had a fantastic
experience last season and a great
relationship with the manager, the
chairman, the staff, the players
and the fans.
"I can't wait to get started again
and I'm looking forward to a
successful season."
Manager Martinez added:
"Welcoming Romelu Lukaku back
to Everton on a permanent basis is
the news that all Evertonians
wanted to hear.

10-Year-Old Girl Found Wearing
Explosive Device Apparatus In
Katsina
Nigerian military forces have
arrested and detained a pair of
suspected Boko Haram members,
who were allegedly travelling with
a 10-year-old girl who was
wearing a suicide bomb
apparatus.
A government spokesman alleges
that the suspects, intercepted
today, were travelling along a
road in Katsina in a Honda CRV.
The child, named Hadiza, was later
discovered to have been strapped
to an explosive belt, the
spokesman claims.

A man has been tested for Ebola
in Birmingham and another has
visited a UK hospital over fears
he was showing symptoms of
the deadly Ebola virus.
The checks come after the
Government’s chief scientist
warned that deadly diseases
such as Ebola are a “potentially
major threat” to Britain
following the death of an
American man who was able to
travel through an international
hub.
A man, who had travelled from
Benin in Nigeria via Paris to the
Midlands was taken to hospital
in Birmingham on Monday after
he said he felt feverish.
He was given the all clear, as
was a second man in his
twenties who went to Charing
Cross Hospital in London this
week, the Sun reported. His
symptoms were confirmed as
not being linked to the bug and
doctors ruled out the need for
an Ebola test.
The Department for Health
confirmed the Birmingham
incident. A spokesman added:
“We’re well prepared to
identifyand deal with any
potential cases, though there
has never been a case in this
country.”
The disease, which can be fatal
for up to 90 per cent of infected
victims, has already killed almost
700 people in Guinea, Liberia
and Sierra Leone.
Doctors in Britain have been put
on alert to watch out for signs
of the disease as officials said
the disease was “clearly not
under control.”
However Professor Jeremy
Farrar said we are “not in grave
danger of a global epidemic.”
“What we are in danger of is
this spreading much further
across Africa,” he told BBC Radio
4’s Today programme. “I don’t
think closing borders and
restricting travel will have much
of an impact.”
Prof Farrar said he would not
avoid travelling to the infected
countries in Africa but said he
felt there needed to be more
education about the disease so
people in these countries had
the confidence to come forward
if they had symptoms.
“I hope that at some point in
the future we will have vaccines
and drugs but these will not be
available in the very near future.
“In the short term it will be
about infection control.”
Sir Mark Walport, the
government’s Chief Scientific
Advisor, has told the Telegraph
that the increasingly
‘interconnected’ world was
placing Britons at risk.
Sheik Umar Jhan, the doctor
leading Sierra Leone’s fight
against the virus died of Ebola
on Tuesday.
Doctors in Britain have been put
on alert to watch out for signs
of the disease as officials said
the disease was “clearly not
under control.”

General Overseer of God of Champion
Royal Assembly, Abuja, Brother Joshua
Iginla, has prophesied that a lower rank
officer of the Nigerian Army will shoot
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau,
before arresting him.
According to The Sun, Iginla reminded
members of his congregation of an
earlier prophecy he gave about the
Nigerian Air Force helicopter that
crashed in the Southern part of Bama,
Borno State, wherein he prophesied that
there would be survivors three months
ago.
The Abuja-based cleric also called on the
country’s security apparatus to tighten
security in the nation’s capital between
today and Wednesday.
He said, “I hear the sound of bomb in
the city and I call on security agencies to
tighten security in Abuja between
Monday and Wednesday”.
He also predicted that a private jet
carrying some governors, who are
opposed to certain decisions in the
country, would crash.
“I have warned them through my
broadcast on Champions Television and
I have tried to reach out to those I saw
in my prediction.
“It is going to happen soon and nobody
should blame anybody for it. It is either
they retreat from that meeting they
want to attend or they will perish”.
On the 2015 general elections, Ignila
said he saw President Goodluck
Jonathan retaining his seat.
“It is not winning the election that is the
issue, but the problem that would
emerge after the election. It will make
the present insecurity in the country a
child’s play”, Iginla added.

The march towards 2015
General Election took a
dangerous dimension in Kano
Wednesday following calls by
youths under the auspices of
Arewa Youth Development
Foundation for the division of
Nigeria as a political entity.
The protest that was held
outside the palace of the Emir of
Kano shortly after a courtesy call
on the on the monarch, attracted
hundreds of youths believed to
be students drawn from tertiary
institution in Kano.
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu
Sanusi II, appealed for calm and
enjoins the youth to imbibe the
lesson of peace in their entire
endeavour considering the
critical role they play in nation
building.
Sanusi II told the protesting
youths during a courtesy call on
him that “it is only natural that
people of different and divergent
culture to live in one entity as a
nation, and I enjoin you people
to imbibe the lesson of peace
considering your role in nation
development”.
The youth carrying placard with
inscription that support the
dissolution of the country hold a
rally outside the palace and was
addressed by the Secretary
General of the Group, Comrade
Alfred Solomon who decaalred
that their stand was informed by
what he called “continued
intimidation of Northerners by
the federal Government.”
Some of the placard bore the
message “Hold your petro
dollars, let everyone goes his
direction”, Southerners are not
welcome here in the north”,
Southerners must Go, Shegu”
Nigeria belong to all of us not
militants” we say no to Northern
identification in southern
Nigeria”.
Other messages on the placards
also reads “Southerners are
militants, kidnappers/ rituals,
armed robbers, drug pushers,
terrorists, sons/daughters are
products of baby factory”.
A prepared speech jointly signed
by National President and
Secretary General, Barrister Aliyu
M Usman, and Alfred Solomon
respectively but read by the
Secretary General during the
protest urged northerners to
“rise and support agitation for
peaceful dissolution of this union
called Nigeria for every region to
go its own way.”
Alfred directed that “we urged all
artisans, students, public and
private sector servants , traders
business holders currently
operating , residing or intending
to do so in any part of Nigeria to
relocate back home within the
next two weeks”
Alfred Solomon in the same vein
further advised non Northerners
residing in any part of the
northern Nigeria to relocate to
their various regins of origin
within two weeks to make room
for accommodating our northern
brothers who would be
returning home.
Solomon noted that the
“measure would bring an end to
the mutual suspicion that is
presently causing some southern
states to demand Northerners to
obtain resident permits and
perhaps any similar action that
may arise from northern state
Government as a consequence”.
The rally that was originally
schedule to criss cross
designated streets in Kano was
cancelled while no reason was
given also by the organizers for
canceling of visit to the
Governor, Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso at the Government
House.

Chief Femi Falana (SAN) has reminded
delegates at the ongoing National
Conference that Nigeria was in trouble as the
demand for Nigerian oil by foreign countries
continues to drop .
The human rights lawyer , who is also a
delegate at the conference noted that there
was an increase in the oil production of
some countries like Angola . Other countries
like Kenya and Uganda have also found oil
and are planning to go into commercial
production.
“The government of Nigeria has fallen into
problems as regards getting buyers for our
oil . As of today the united states of america
has stopped buying our oil because it has
got an alternative and before now the total
import for the U . S was about 10 % of fuel
imported to the U . S . Most West African
countries have struck oil . Angola has
increased its production , we believe that the
crisis in Libya and Iraq would cause
problems with respect to oil production and
it has proved to be true and as a matter of
fact the crisis has stopped oil production .
“And presently Europe is experiencing oil
blocks and India that we have been pleading
with to buy our oil is now turning to china
Russia and Indonesia . Currently President
Putin is going round the world assuring
more countries that they are going to give
them oil and gas . Currently Nigeria is in
trouble. So when we are talking of sharing
we need to take this into cognizance that
there will be nobody to buy our oil , ” he
stated .

Stephen Keshi has stated his demands, in other to sign
a new contract to remain as Nigerian coach.
Following the 2-0 defeat to France, which saw Nigeria
crash out in the second round of the World Cup, Coach
Stephen Keshi, made it public last week that his
contract with the Nigeria Football Federation had run-
out.
The former Super Eagles player, has now told President
Goodluck Jonathan that he will sign a new deal if the
NFF agrees to pay him N10m a month.
Keshi made the demand when he met with Jonathan at
the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja on arrival from the World
Cup in Brazil.
According to unconfirmed media reports, a top official
at the Presidential Villa said, “He (Keshi) demanded for
N10m a month, which he wants to be paid upfront to
check any delays. He also wanted what he called a
free hand as regards his team selection and
preparations, saying he no longer wishes to deal with
the technical committee. He also wanted Okpalla back
to his backroom staff.
“The President has assured him that his demands will
be considered. ”
Salary of Keshi right before the contract expired, was
N5million monthly.
Meanwhile, Keshi pocketed a total of $300,000 when he
led Nigeria to the last 16 of the World Cup.

The ongoing strike by the Nigeria Medical Association will soon be over as talks are ongoing between the Federal Government and the association to put an end to this action that has led to untold sufferings of patients across the nation.

This was revealed on Friday at the Government House, Asaba, by the Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, during an interview session with newsmen.
Dr Uduaghan revealed that a meeting of some elders of the medical profession and Government representatives held in Abuja on Thursday night.

He gave assurance that some of the pressing issues were addressed and resolved at the meeting and by the end of the week, the strike would be called off.

Present at the meeting were the Delta State Governor; the Chairman, Senate Committee on Health, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa; Dr Doyin Okupe, the Health Minister, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu; Minister for Labour and Productivity, Emeka Wogu; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Dr Anyim Pius Anyim and members of the medical association.

Governor Uduaghan, while admitting that there were indeed challenges in the health sector, urged medical professionals to be weary of strike which does more harm than good, because every life lost during the period of strike cannot be brought back.

The Federal Government has also corroborated the claim by saying that the nationwide doctors’ strike may be called off next Monday, following the Thursday meeting between the leadership of the NMA and representatives of Government.

The Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, disclosed that a Memorandum of Understanding was signed at the end of the 10-hour meeting between the two parties
