Good. This is how I like to see my armed robber. It looks like all the attackers were right handed. Were there no left handed people in the crowd so there can be some kind of facial symmetry? If there was any injustice to this man, that has to be it.

These reporters never seize to amaze me- they said a robbery suspect identified as Stanley. Was he conceived by a hermaphrodite? Doesnt Stanley have a surname?

Soldiers do this kind of thing alot

It is possible no money was lost at all. The lawyer could have pocketted the bribe money and told his client that a police investigation will cause embarrassment.

@Op,
What an extraordinary act of good will by this doctor. I hope this doesn't turn igbo women in the community into self made widows.

The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom. Things do get awkward when judges have been compromised. They come up with all kinds of judgement unknown to law. Shame on Nigerian judiciary.

It really wasn't necessary. A simple account transfer bf the wedding would have been ok followed by an anonymous presence at the wedding reception.

justirich:
quite ironic. it's pretty obvious who is having a poverty-stricken head. A failed paramedic who first argued that paramedics and doctors are the cause of the internship crisis, complained about doctors salaries compared to other countries, later then dwelt on talk of consultancies and then finally house officers pay. who is the confused fellow here? you are now trying to belatedly cover up your personal beef. pls come back to your senses asap.
I will post your replies here below again so you can assess yourself.

Agreed that explaining the nitty gritty isn't one of my stronger point as many would have seen. It is time consuming and can be downright annoying.

Sometimes you have the occasional iddiot who makes himself available so that certain issues can be emphasized. Which is why I have to say this individual calling himself justrich has served some purpose. No one is entirely useless.

He is either talented at playing the fooool or he is just down right stuppid. Either way he has served a good purpose on this thread.That said, if he is truly a doctor, I won't even let him touch my dog.

The bane of good governance in Nigeria has been corruption, misapplication and outright theft of public funds There are areas where a sound policy when sustainably applied can make the difference. The health sector is one of them.

limited spaces for internship is a mere symptom of a much bigger malaise. No disease is ever cured by treating symptoms.

justirich:
if doctors pay is such a big headache to your failed life, why not get 2016 UTME form? you are basically concerned with doctors pay as the solution to all the problems faced by all categories of fresh medical graduates. it's a great pity that you are still bitter like as at 3years ago. who said one-year internship is an opportunity to amass wealth? Jealousy don kill this paramedic finish. chai!!! you could not enter medical school and you are here hoping you were a lecturer. Quite laughable. You wanted to derail this thread to anti-doctors stuff and I'm here to correct that moronic behavior. Your intentions are pretty obvious now. Get a life pls

That is where you are wrong. My views are actually pro-doctors. And I mean real doctors who are deserving of the name and not the impurities like you. Eventually circumstances will throw you up and you will be recognized and weeded out like many before you. There will be no place to hide.

Yes I mean it when I say there are a lot of doctors who are willing to do the internship without pay. But there is just no way you can wrap that around your poverty stricken head. Or is there?

justirich:
quotes from your thread in 2012- https://www.nairaland.com/929047/on-going-strike-lagos-doctors
Obviously you have a beef with doctors. That's why you want to derail this thread. And I advised you initially to open another thread for that. Since you were so impatient to vomit your bile, you didn't notice it was an association of doctors, pharmacists, med lab scientists, radiographers, physiotherapists etc that united to produce these recommendations. pls read properly before replying next time.

The reason for the on-going strike by doctors in Lagos hospitals appear rather hazy. It is said that there are two sides to every coin. At the moment the only side in the media is the government side which is that resident doctors and house officers are demanding teaching allowances for their input in the training of medical students. This is yet to be refuted by the Guild of medical doctors behind the strike. Until a contrary position is made available by the other side it will form the basis of my opinion on the strike issue.

At once my view of the doctor's position is that it is obscene, it is immoral and even criminal and therefore the organizers deserve to be prosecuted and jailed for every loss of life or injury suffered by patients in these hospitals.

Teaching was not in your job description therefore you have no right to insist on payment for a job you neither signed for or known to have done. If you did it and you feel your input is not being appreciated then you are free to stop. You have no right or justification to withhold other services for which you get a just remuneration by going on strike.

Their going on strike is nothing short of a criminal behaviour. Resident doctors and house officers are not part of the academic commune involving lecturers and students, interaction in the wards not withstanding. If they want to teach medical students alongside their own training then this can be negotiated and specific assignments will be given to them. But what happens if a resident doctor fails or keeps failing in his exam? And these same resident doctors keep impacting toxic knowledge on the students. In order words only fellowship certification guarrantees a mastery of knowledge and skill that is worth paying for.

Secondly, if the government gives in to this blackmail then it will have no reason not to pay nurses, pharmacists, optometrists and lab scientists similar entitlements.

Today's politicians are businessmen who have no clue about governance. All they yearn is 'stability' so they can loot as much as possible. Fashola's govt will be creating a dangerous precedent in the country if it accedes to this demand.

The present executive of the guild of medical doctors have embarrassed all doctors. There is only one thing left for them to do- resign en mass and tender an unreserved apology to the good people of Lagos state and the govt.

When you quote me, dont do it halfway. Quote me fully.

I wrote those views sometime in 2012 while you were still struggling with your first or second MB. Now, if I was your teacher I guarrantee you will never become a doctor let alone hope for internship. You neither have the smarts nor the mindset. I have been eating morons like you for lunch on NL a long time. But I either grew too long in the tooth or I find the current set of wannabes like you worthless and therefore a complete waste of valuable time.

For those who still care about the thread my position remains that there can be no solution to the relative dearth of intern places unless doctors' remuneration are allowed to yield to market forces. In plain and simple language, doctors are overpaid relative to what our hospitals can afford. Many more spaces will be freed when salaries and allowances become more affordable. We attained this sorry state of affairs because of frivolous and unnecessary strikes. No real solution can be attained without measures aimed to address them. And house officers must be prevented from going on strike.

These may sound harsh but there is no easier way to address these problems. A one year internship is not an opportunity to amass wealth. Some of these doctors are even prepared to do it gratis than stay home. If such an opportunity is presented 20 HO places could become 200 places overnight which goes to show that the primary impediment is financial.

justirich:
check your first reply and then the second and see if any correlation. how does paramedics or consultant matrons or pharmacists concern this thread? wisdom is not by age or knowledge which is obvious in your case. you can read first before commenting. too many educated illiterates on NL. and your people will be happy they have trained someone. smh

Even if I choose to interpret in your native language, obviously you still wouldnt understand the root cause behind wage politics, incessant strike and the real reason behind decline in House officer placement opportunities in Nigeria's health sector

There are issues in this topic that goes far beyond your capacity to understand. That you started this thread shouldnt make you feel compelled to reply me because I communicate with people who have capacity to understand me. Obviously with you I am not communicating.

Your parents have sweated their lives out to pay your way through medical school. You dont help their effort by being a public nuisance.

Like the Ngerian police,The EFCC would have coached him very well about the allegations against him and told him what to do. It's a complete sham.

aaidel:
and are your post's humble, or show you have good behaviour you came to disrupt somebody's thread and still have the effrontery to mouth off at the OP smh for you

Govt is not going to legislate for an automatic absorption for all prospective interns bc they can't. Teaching hospitals, FMCs, General hospitals even designated private hospitals are taking a fraction of what they should bc they cannot afford the cost.

You do understand that?
Besides who says have to be humble?

justirich:
don't derail this thread. open another one for your ideas

Frankly I don't care if u get a place for housemanship or not. Not really.

But I am concerned about how house officers are being used to destabilise the health sector and in turn creating limited spaces for housemanship

Your inability to get placement is nothing but a symptom of a bigger malaise. The 2year wait may yet stretch to 5 yrs when your mates will be about rounding up residency.

With some patience, a good behaviour and some humility you Will get there. In the meantime read,, understand and shut your mouth.

I still don't get it, why some men mortgage their career bc of punny. it's so not worth it. Certain professions are based on reputation and law is one of them. Why risk it all?

In Nigeria, punny is avsilable for sale round the clock in practically all neighborhood (badoo made sure). Why embarrass yourself esp with a professional colleague u may be seeing all your life?

Even If she comes hitting on you probably bc of your success, charm, charisma etc u still have to be very careful bc junior colleagues are never easy to shake off when things get sour - Relationship 101.

Nigerian girls are notorious for claiming a guy has been hitting on them even when they didn't. We live in a time when JOKES have to be properly explained sometimes so she doesn't leave your office with wrong impressions. And this mumu openly solicits from a junior colleague who was referred by a known person. Is he that daft or poster is actually all that?

Unless EFCC is restructured and credible persons named to position of Authority, all these is waste of time.

Buhari has not started work yet. Nigerians are not impressed. The current EFCC leadership are yet to proove they are up to task.

The never ending acrimonious war between doctors and the paramedics in govt hospitals have many unintended consequences and this is one of them.

Strikes and counter strikes have resulted in a situation where these health personnel through their leverage on govt rather than market forces determine their take home. House officers being doctors even though in training have to be appropriately remunerated. So, you find a hospital that can conveniently take 120 interns accepting no more than 30 for example bc they cannot afford to pay more.

So next time doctors go on strike and house officers are co-opted even though they might get that pay rise, they have made things significantly worse for those coming in.

I feel disappointed that when doctors make a case for a pay rise they compare their salaries with those in England and the US. Exactly on what basis might I ask? Why don't they compare take homes with other third world countries like Pakistan, India, Philippines or Ghana that they earn more than.

No one in Govt is interested in asking these questions bc they want an illusion of peace and stability so they can loot for themselves and disappear when it's time leaving behind even entrenching old problems

House officers occupy a key position in these endless politics of strike and counter strike. Like consultants govt should make their strike illegal forth with and let's see how effective the next call for strike will be.

Also govt should take steps to address the absurdity of consultant matron, consultant pharmacists consultant optometrists etc. When u choose to adopt structures from other countries u don't pick and chose what suits you but what is practicable, justifiable and relevant.

I maybe one of those gawking at your backside. can't help it.

But in bed I tend to prefer smaller more manageable butts cos the fun seem to go on for ever.

This group might be responsible for the incessant violent robberies on the stretch between Okene and Auchi to fund their nefarious acts.

Hard to blame the man. Your mates dey born one, you go born three

This is laughable. Who sells this and for how much?

Block headed Ijaw students. They had better go read their books so they dont end up like Jonathan-a national disgrace.

This will definitely stop a lot of people like David Mark from visiting the UK anytime soon

Espirit de corp. At N100, you can be sure you will get to wherever you are going on time and without molestation. More than can be said of 'ordinary' keke.

chuna1985:
Yoruba n Hatred + jealousy are like Bread n butter.

Which is why your life will continue to be miserable and remain never employed even at 40.

Your N500/post contract will expire soon. Tell me what will you do then? look for another corrupt public official in distress, this time if Yoruba distract attention by cursing Ibos?

The most annoying thing is that she is so dull and unintelligent. She spent 10 good years reading architecture. she comes to Nigeria and lies to spdc she has 5yrs work experience in 1993 when she graduated in 1992. 1yr later she is made HOD. All these are in public domain. Undenied, unrefuted. Howard university where she graduated says Diezani Agama is male. For all we know this woman may be an impostor-greedy unashamed lied and possibly bleeped her way to the highest offices in the land.

guideman:
Why does PMB want Senator Bukola out as Senate President. May I remind you that his father Senator Olusola Saraki was at the helm of affairs in the Senate that was probing the petroleum ministry of which PMB was the immediate past minister in 1983, thus the turn of events that year. As GEJ rightly said, let the probe start from the very day oil was first found in Nigeria. That's what makes any probe credible. Nigerians can't be fooled. It's only history that vindicates the just.

GEJ is a foool. Hear him talking like a pry sch boy. He should go to jail. A low IQ doesnt confer immunity.

How can a father possibly have an e-r-ection in the presence of a daughter let alone rape? I think this isnt just a criminal matter but medical as well.

Mrokaykay:
Same good thing destroyed Jonathan's government..

Jonathan and his ministers were thieves with their own agenda. He even attempted to legitimize corruption. Jonathan is a disgrace to all Nigerians esp southerners.

unfortunately for Diezani when British law holds you, it holds u at the waist and not at the wrist. I am sure she had sufficient money hidden away for eventuality like this.

She needs great lawyers and maybe some crowd renting in London might do unfortunately unlike in Nigeria protesters will have to be paid in pounds. she will need to launder some more money it seems.

Tortoise, crocodile, snake, monkey, ahhhhh. What can I say? A lot has gone through this stomach growing up. Will I go down that route again? Hell no. Will probably puke looking at the soup. None of these bother me as much as a mystery cuisine I was served in a dingy hotel room at Apiapum near Ugep on my way to Obubra in Cross River State, 1993.
