THE REASON WE MUST ALL STAY FOCUS ON THIS JOHESU STRIKE AND IGNORE EVERY DISTRACTION FROM THE DOCTORS.

GOOD DAY TO ALL MY COLLEAGUE IN THE STRUGGLE TO LIBERATE HEALTH SECTOR FROM THE HANDS OF A GROUP THAT SEE THEMSELVES AS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA.

I WANT TO FIRST BRING TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE HEALTH WORKERS SALARY :

IN THE YEAR 2009 WHEN THE LATE MUSA YARADUA WAS THE THEN PRESIDENT OF NIG. THE DOCTORS CLAMORED FOR INCREMENT IN THEIR SALARIES AND THE MINISTER OF DOCTORS RELATE SAME TO THE PRESIDENT, BUT THE PRESIDENT REFUSED TO INCREASED THEIR SALARY AND SAID THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE HEALTH SECTOR THAT INSTEAD HE WILL INCREASE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE HEALTH SECTOR, TO THIS EFFECT A COMMITTEE WAS SET UP AND ALL THE UNION WAS ABLY REPRESENTED.

IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2009 THE SALARY SCALE WAS THEN MOVED TO CONHESS (FORMALLY CONTISS) AND WAS APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY 2010.
NOTE THAT THE COMMITTEE AGREED THAT 4 YEARS LATER THE CONHESS SALARY SCALE WILL BE ADJUSTED AGAIN(INCREASED)AND NOTE THAT BOTH THE DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTH WORKERS WAS ON CONHESS AND THERE WAS HARMONY IN THE HEALTH SECTOR AND NO STRIKE FROM THAT 2010 TO 2013.

NOW IN 2014 WHEN THE SALARY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE REVIEWED (ANOTHER PRESIDENT NOW IN POWER) THE DOCTORS THEN WENT BEHIND WITH THE HELP OF THE MINISTER OF DOCTORS (PROF OYEBUCHI CHUKWU) TO MOVE OUT OF CONHESS AND HAVE THEIR OWN SALARY SCALE WHICH IS NOW CONMESS AND FAR ROBUST THAN CONHESS, IT WAS APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED FOR THEM SHARPLY.

THE NEW CONHESS WAS ALSO CALCULATED BY SALARIES INCOMES AND WAGES COMMISSION BUT WAS NEVER APPROVED TILL DATE.
THE STRUGGLE THEN STARTED BY JOHESU CLAMORING FOR GOVT TO DO THE NEEDFUL AS DONE FOR NMA, THIS ALSO RESULTED TO SERIES OF STRIKE BUT THE MINISTER OF DOCTORS AND THE THEN PRESIDENT DIDN'T IMPLEMENT IT.

IN 2016 AND 2017 RESPECTIVELY THE DOCTORS SALARIES WAS INCREASED AND THEY CALL IT RELATIVITY, MIND YOU THEY FOUGHT AGAINST SKIPPING A CONHESS LEVEL AND SAID IT WAS CRIMINAL AND ILLEGAL TO SKIP A LEVEL. (JOHESU WON THE CASE IN COURT AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVT), THE DOCTORS LATTER ASKED FOR THE SKIPPING AND IT WAS APPROVED FOR THEM AND THEY WERE PAID WHY THE RIGHTFUL OWNER HAVE STILL NOT BEEN PAID THE ARREARS SINCE 2010.

AS WE SPEAK A HOUSE OFFICER THAT IS JUST LEAVING SCHOOL IS PLACE ON COMESS 1 WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO CONHESS 12 ( THAT IS FOR A NURSE THAT HAVE SPENT MORE THAN 15YEARS IN SERVICE), WHILE A REGISTRAR EARN FAR MORE THAN A CHIEF NURSING OFFICER, THEY EARN SAME SALARY WITH ADNS (I KNOW OF A NURSE WHO HAVE FEW YEARS TO RETIREMENT AND THE SON THAT WAS JUST EMPLOYED AS A REGISTRAR IN THE SAME INSTITUTION EARN FAR MORE THAN HER( REMEMBER SHE HAS PUT IN MORE THAN 30YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE).
AND THE LEAST CONSULTANT EARN #600,000 AND ABOVE MONTHLY.

I will like to throw light on some of the issues u mentioned in ur post which are far from the truth and I will implore u to desist from feeding people with lies in order to gain public sympathies.
Worthy of note is the issue of comess that u claimed started 2014 during GEJ regime . I did my house job in 2010 and I was on comess ( receiving little below 200k) so i don't understand the story u brought up about 2014. (2014 NMA vs Joheau issue was due to skipping , relativity , entry level CMD, consultant title etc) The comess then was approved by the formal president Obasanjo, I was even still in med school then.
Feed the masses with the truth and let them be well enlightened as regards the subject matter.
I don't have issues with any set of workers embarking on industrial action to fight for what is due to them. Thanks

Pls add me to the group. 08056839626. Thanks . Im around ogbomoso and want to start pig farming. I shall need help of u gurus in the house I setting up the farm. Ur supports will be highly appreciated.

Ajumobi and his wife are killers who wouldn't want to see sword anywhere around them because of fear of being killed.Greater robber is castigating another of the same . If he and his wife know how many people they have sent packing to life beyond due to the robbery action, then they should think twice before doing anything to the man in question. Ole jatijati

Hypovolemic shock secondary to diarrhoea disease ,all the guy needed was IV fluid to prevent the untimely death. The questions are (1) is there no clinic with medical corps member on camp to diagnose and manage the guy?(2) are there no resuscitating facilities on the camp.?(3)Didn't he seek medical intervention when the symptoms started?; because he must have lost a large volume of fluid before the irreversible stage that lead to his demise was reached. This is surely an avoidable death and questions should be asked . RIP to the dead

abdulkayus:
guy, most medical students on internshipp do earn close to 150k if nt more than that every month, and he cant feed himself even with that amount, habaaaa, let reason well na. No matter d debt, he shld be atleast be able to feed for himself.
And most of them even earn more durin internship than wen actually workin except if dey are lucky to get a job with FG hospital which isnt easy to come by.

. It very possible, esp in centres like Lautec Teaching hospital Ogbomoso, where registrars( more senior doctors) can not afford house rents, school fees and put food on table for their families not to talk of interns. We are being paid half salary , just received half of April 2 weeks ago.

The end is near.

The entity called Nigeria is a disaster

This one go be 2 elefant's fight

The% burn injury sustained by the man on bed is much plus burn injury to the face, inhalation injury should be looked out for. Such patients are best taken care of in centres that have burns units. Speed recovery.

We have not even started in this country not to talk of getting there. I work with a state teaching hospital where we are being owned 4mth and 1/3 salary I.e we ave just 'received up to 2/3 of Nov 2015. How do u want people like us to work 100%. That is not enough, our govt is not serious at all ,how many percentage of the budget is for health ? Far less than what it should be (25% IDEALY). Truth be said ;many patients died not because We don't no what to do but most of the time resources are not available . Many occasions , common normal saline , oxygen, instruments are not available. Only God knows how many surgeries were postponed due to non availability of oxygen and the patients eventually packed (died ). Health care provision is beyond coming on air and talk, but more of responsibility of a responsible government.state of many of our teaching hospital Is lamentable and frustrating. Private sectors , on the other hand, have been taught lessons that if they do not collect their money in the phase of the emergency, the hospital can never last!

Since Ajimiobi has won now na colicky
Episodic industrial actions for lautech teaching hospital ogbomoso.they ave. Not received salary this year.

Hope they won't be too hostile and make working conditions unconfortable for us because their outrageous demands are not only unrealistic but also not implementable.privatization is the lasting solution to this power tussle so that everyone will stay where he or she belongs and work for his or money.job description is another thing that should be put in place.u are welcome back to work and place do remember to bring along the keys to the theatre and other places because my operation list is long already, I CAN'T WAIT,"those patients have really suffered!.

This whole drama is not funny any longer.nigerians we have missed it from the word go because buhari is not the change we need.I use to wonder y the noise only between the two evils.uncle jona is not good GMB is not better,he could even be worse.if these whole issues abt his his certificate turn out to be true, then what change do we expect?

Those guys are very sharp shooters, the kinetics nd therefore the wounding power of those bullets was no doubt enormous
RIP

I now understand this politics, oga jona try small.He pronounced the sack, sent Mr David,immediately paid the skipping arrears(2mths) as promised.He then lifted the ban nd pay the salary even of the sack period.80% of 24 points demand of NMA met, more money to their pockets, drs remain d C.md, the qtn is who wins. Let every one b put to where they belong nd stop this power tussle tin pls.pple talk abt health profession being a team wok, is there any team without a team leader, either directly or otherwise, nurses carry out the documented drs orders, plans or intruction as d case may b, he or she(drs) calls lab person into action, dictating d kind of investigations to brace up the diagnosis, he or she prescribs the drugs for famcist to dispense.who is the team leader? All other members of the team are however impt as they contribute immensely to px care.

Some posts on naira land are incoherent,people are suffering already from d effect of the strike the next thing is to sack the working force of the teaching hospitals.I pity a man today who was brought to d private hospital I'm.he presented wt Marjonin Ulcer(a cancerous ulcer) the condition can not b taken care of in the private setting because one need specialist touches in d mgt
Private hospitals in the cities have no more bed space due to industrial action, uncle nona approach will only escalate the problem rather solving it.
MDCAN has spoken ,if gvt fails to respond they will definitely join d strike , now tell me how it goes .it will b ALL or NULL action

THis is d time our pharmacists and laboratory scientists should show. Case their professionallism.they are scientists and not clinician thus stop struggling wt drs in d hospitals but invade research institutes wea they can ave any title dey want (consultant inclusive) nd b more relavant nd productive.if NMA now come out dat they want to b leading govt owned pharmacaetical industries or researchcentre , then they are tresspassing.But for hospitals drs are d oga @ d top.govts SH d provide necessary protective wears b4 NMA call off if not ......

Oga na master joor.Those guys are really the head of health team.johesu shd take dat

This JOHESU or wat did they call themselves are useless set of pple y do they keep making drs so important chai drs are truly d head of d health team.No wonder they want them back at all cost.take over d hospital nd render them irrelevant then u will prove ur point of no superiority

Patients are suffering,yet govt does nothing to bring doctors back to wok wat a pit just pray u won't need a doc this period,else u understand d ego they are fighting for

In the hospital setting u cant become a consultant wcout having passed through the rigor of residency training programm wch takes 4 to 8 yrs depending on d area of specialization I.e the Dr must ave graduated frm med sch ,done internship,nysc witten primaries b4 the training, I don't seem to undrstan. Y Jhesu want to turn d title to pure water.I will also look 4 drving job in teaching hospital so I can bcome a consultant ambulance driver then Chief medical director

Why is FG making doctors feel so important by challenging them to come for a public debate. I think their consultant nurses, pharmacists lab scientists and others should be able to uphold the hospitals and run them effectively .however if FG eventually dances to d tone of NMA johesu will want to embark on a reactionary industrial action.then we sha know who is indispensable in the hospital.They shd just leave without locking the patients folders,theater suits wards, power house.I promise dat they wil b forgotten at home. WHO is the mother of all health institutions in world,all it D.G have ever been medical doctors.Nigerians shd not allow FG to use politics to sink our health sector.NMA should fight it to the meaningful end.

I suggest sick people should stop going to the proud and incompetent drs in their private hospitals and show them that the consultant nurses ,pharmacists nd other can take care of them.afterall teaching hospitals nd FMC are not clossed.

I can't understand if he was angry with the coach or the whole team.He had a very poor outing.He could redeem himsef at the new club anyway.Gud luck to him
