The resident doctors are mere trainees, they have no rights to dictate to Govt or post medical college how to issue a certificate. If you're hungry for a certificate before sitting for your final exam, you can relocate to the UK. If they can't focus on their trainings and then see how to better and further develop their carrers after their training, then they should refund Govt funds for their training and relocate to wherever butter their bread.
The senior doctors started like they are and did not make unreasonable demands as these GenZ doctors whom many Nigerians are even reluctant to have them treat or attend to them but would rather prefer the senior doctors. They should first learn than putting money before their carrer. Greedy trainees.

Putindbutt:
After the Government has reviewed your allowances by 90 billion, the 90 billion has already added more expenditure to the budget every year. That one never do you, you still asking for specialist allowances?, Resident doctors o, these are still trainees o, asking for specialist allowances?. People who are not yet consultants o. E be like these people are not normal at all.




Look at another useless demand they are asking for, Lol. How can you be asking the medical college to issue you a certificate after Part 1 examination?. I just want someone to tell me these guys are not sick, biko. How can undergraduates be asking for certificate after only passing part 1 exam?. Do you enrol to only sit for part 1 exam, is certificate not supposed to be issued after you have fully passed all the exams to the final class?. Is like law students asking for certificate after stage 1. But I get it, they want the certificate for japa, so even if they couldn't finish the post medical courses till the final class, they can use the one they have to apply for japa, very useless people.

And some ignorant people who do not know what's going on will be quick to insult the Government when these doctors threaten the Govt with strike. They don't know that many of their demands are unreasonable and useless. But because they know the people are always sympathetic to them, they use that opportunity to exploit their crazy demands.

Doctors and lecturers be acting as if they're the only two professions we have in the country, always threatening the Govt with crazy demands. The Govt should also learn to sack them and replace them with those willing to work. Other professions do not disturb the country like these two greedy professions

Putindbutt:
Must everybody become a doctor?, why didn't you also come to my field?.

How many times has the President told you he went abroad for medical?. Most times, it's even doctors themselves that refer you abroad.

Your write up stinks of ignorance and envy.
You are obviously not informed about what your are babbling about.
Resident doctors run specialist clinics, what stops them from getting specialist allowance?
Mind you, it is not for everyone, it is for Senior registrar 1 who are on CONMESS 5. They perform specialist duties so what stops them from enjoying specialist allowance. Mind you, the table for the allowance has been approved for years and paid initially before it was suspended.
Moreover, we gave 2 exams.
National and west African college of surgeons/ physicians.
After part 1 in west African college of surgeons/physicians you are issued certificate of membership which qualifies you as specialist NOT consultant, what stops national from issuing same post 1 certificate?
So understand the issue before commenting with ignorance

Corporate2020:
Greedy thieves. Doctors are the greediest people on earth. From UK to US, Germany, Australia, doctors are always on strike despite earning too much compared to other professionals.

drsibz66:
Thats the problem with black man.. lets all of us suffer syndrome.. who stoped enegineers from demanding more pay..

Putindbutt:
No be only doctiors dey this country, take the 90 billion Govt has approved or resign and leave, greedy people.

if you comparing to politicians, there are medical doctors who have transitioned into politics, you can as well follow suit. A politician do not work alone, he has a number of aides working for him, that he pays them for their services. He has responsibility to his constituencies many of whom he offers scholarships and pays their bills. Including doctors, whereby these politicians build hospitals and clinics and furnished them with equipments for the benefits of their constituencies. But as a doctor, you're oy responsible to yourself and immediate family, the allowances you're asking for is only meant for you and your family. So stop comparing to an average politician.

Judolisco:
oga keep quiet.... U mentioned NNPC, CBN, DPR… are doctors not part of the people working in these agencies , and are their salaries not more than their counterparts?.... U go jst open mouth dey yarn nonsense, I'm sure u r not a medical doctor, but if you are... then I wonder what type of doctors dey train dis days.... bunch of lazy lots....

Ojuntana:
Very incompetent lots these APC clowns are

JOHESU has been on strike for more than 5 months with all hospitals shutdown nationwide yet these criminals in govt still have the nerve to be releasing silly press statements.
Where's all the trillions they claimed will be saved from fuel subsidy removal? Where's the money from naira devaluation and power tarriff increase?
These clowns have killed so many Nigerians with hunger
Now they are killing more Nigerians including pregnant and nursing mothers by denying them the little healthcare they are managing
God must punish APC

Winnin009:

Then let the doctors resign and join politics.

That is not too hard to do.

chukwuma234:
which hospitals were shutdown since 5months?

Putindbutt:
I used the word undergraduate to refer to as not being certified yet by postgraduate medical college. I have a professional cert and I was refered to an undergrad in the school until I wrote and passed my final exams. Even though I already have my first degree.

According to the standard of the Medical college, you cannot be issued a cert after part1 exam, you ain't qualified yet. Finish all your exams bro, do the needful. You ain't a specialist yet, you can't jump the line bro.

And that's not a bogus figure because the union representatives signed on the agreement and have never come out to deny it.

Time they say waits for no one….

Subtract 10 years from your current age; that is exactly how old you were when APC came to power in 2015.

It has been 10 plus wasted years with NO SINGLE growth in any sector except CORRUPTION.

Maddev:
You think medicine is easy right? If you're in medical line you won't be saying all this nonsense. Medical students will spend millions going to school, spend more than 7 years studying then graduate to shoulder incredibly high workload for a small change.

And the certification you're talking about, it's a post graduate certificate they are talking about not an undergraduate one like you ignorantly said... In some professions (like cyber security) certifications are given after completion of each exam so what they're fighting for isn't bad if it's legal [/qsubsidized[quote author=Jeje247 post=138145098]

They are not putting monies in the right places. And there is nothing wrong In revisiting the negotiation table after agreement considering the persisting inflation and multiple taxations eroding the value of income daily

Mindlog:
Everyone will not become a doctor and Nigerian doctors should be well paid for the skills and services they bring to tablet not the peanuts they are being paid while politicians get hugely paid for being incompetent.

A doctor earning N800K in a calendar month, is just peanuts and Nigeria will continue to lose healthcare practitioners to foreign countries.

Jeje247:
You don't much about what you are talking about.
Residents are not undergraduates. They are actually workers without whom the teaching hospitals would stop working. They are already doctors that have multiple certifications but seeking to become a fellow in a specialty.

By passing the part 1 exams, they become senior residents and perform roles that consultants would perform. They only have to do research, right papers and lecture undergraduate students in some cases till they get fellowship. Asking for a certificate after part 1 isn't totally out of place.
The specialist allowance most likely is supposed to cover research work and others since government wages are barely enough to cover living expenses.

Mind you, when government officials start using bogus figures, they are trying to buy public sympathy. If you split those billions among the thousands of residents in the country, you will see how meagre it is.
This is in a country where politicians steal trillions of naira and get away with it.

ultraviolet27:
so they even earn up to 800k in a month and you still refer that to as peanut? even their teachers who made them in secondary schools never even earned up to that in a year Omo Teachers just come this world come suffer! funny enough even if they jakpa I don't think they will end up earning 800k after all the tax deductions any doctor who wants to jakpa is free though, they were never in it for the passion and humanity before only for the money the last set of Doctors who are passionate in their job died in the late 70's

How much did they even spend in the institutions to acquire their medical certificates?

nervorum:
By now every healthcare worker, especially doctors, who seem to be the tipping point of the spear to transform Nigeria healthcare, should know Nigeria and her people are not worth it.

If you withdraw services to draw the attention of the govt to fix the system, you’re demonized by same people you’re fighting for. If you go above and beyond in impossible circumstances, nobody acknowledges you. But If you make mistakes in an attempt to help in this broken system ( and you’re guaranteed to cos of the failed system), you’re thrown under the bus, by same people you break your back for.

Dear Nigerian doctors, make una nor do pass una self. The people are not worth it.
