dexterinc2003: Dear johesuite .......(I luv dat word).....quit d hatin

ejihand1: what lab in the hospital? To take over the job of a medical laboratory scientists? That cant happen in public hospital. Op. Lets hear what you have to say on the entry level of medical laboratory scientist?

experimentist: Front page something... 419 is a noun.

Sparklingheart: Thank God 4 my life...I hardly get sick.. So, u guys can continue playing politics with pplez lives ok?

englishmart: Shut up man.
This is what happens when the minister for health is a degree holder in banking and finance instead of medicine!
Just do the needed and see things working as usual!
Money dey work, baboon dey chop

adeoladrg: I presently don't have the CONHESS figures.


Community pharmacists work in the communities, while hospital pharmacists work in hospitals.


Thing is, due to the diverse nature of pharmacy, pharmacists don't just sit and do one job. I know one pharmacy graduate working in an industry paying about 140,000. Closes at 4pm and resumes a locum job at a community pharmacy for about 80K and also does drug detailing. At the same time, he used his certificate to register a premise for about 400K annually.

phantom: sam leave that thing.meeting wey no get head.resolutions wey wan favour senior doctors over junior ones NARD will not accept it.

....by the way,like say you been dey the meeting.give us info na. .....

igboboy3: [/color]I see what @drered is trying to do but while your extrapolation is a tad unbalanced, I appreciate the effort.
A doctor can't head PSN and a pharmacist can't head the NMA or be a CMD. Why? The interpretation of extant laws governing these institutions require different qualifications. The term 'medically qualified' can only be fulfilled by doctors.
If you want to make NAFDAC the exclusive preserve of pharmacists, change the qualification from 'good knowledge of pharmacy' to 'B.Pharm'.
N:B - Don't overestimate the 'shared knowledge' between a doctor and a pharmacist o!

phantom: onyebuchi chukwu......you are a clown!!
do what you want to do.let us see how big your b.alls are.
threatening doctors? dem no born you well.
the MOU signed in January ,why has it not been implemented??
prof,you are letting your gubernatorial ambition in ebony state cloud your reasoning but you seem to have forgotten NARD put you where you are today.
you insist on waging war against your constituency. the same constituency that MADE YOU.
when you finish making a fool of yourself in the market square,you will look for us to beg.
we are officially into phase 2 of the strike- threats and abuses BUT we will remain resolute.

Exmay: Bros and you really believe wetin u typed above Y U think sey JOHESU wan die to reach the post

ogawisdom: Wat r u say at best mbbs being a double degree shld earn a masters n neva a doctorate. This shld b challenged in the future. U shld nt b called doctors wen u don't ve a doctorate but physicians until u get one. A doctor is one who is a philosopher in his area n makes knowledge n nt jst a knowledge consumer lik our medical doctors.

charleymed: haven gone through your posts,I discovered it's worthless exchanging words with you
you're just a FOOLISH school Leaver that doesn't now anything about life..
try and secure your admission first, then we can talk....

ogawisdom: Sometimes I wonder y first degree holders with mere mbbs r called doc as if they ve phds. They shld b called physicians until they advance in their field. D real docs r phd holders.
U can b a doc in any field once u bag a doctorate degree. B educated son

oshytayman: . Do your research well for pharmacists

joker5180: he was referring to ' hospital setting" bros

damola14: Absolutely nothing would have happened , if pharmacist goes on strike in Nigeria after all they only sell drugs and dispense drugs which emeka does perfectly .

Cmanforall: Then read this



He said 'If Pharmacology was Pharmacy, then pigs would fly'

Pharmacology is a 4-5yr course in nigerian universities. His statement reflects that hatred Pharmacists have for the pharmacologist, especially if they should be working together in any establishment.
Pharmacologists here can attest to that.....
No be to just fight Doctors, let them resolve their internal wickedness....

ziga: In the hospital, the title Doctor is reserved for Physicians.

Our patients do not need any more confusion.

Physicians are called Docs

Nurses are Nurses

Pharmacists are pharmacists

Lab scientists are lab scientists.

Everybody should love and practice their profession!

And whoever does not want to be listening to Docs in a hospital, should get another job or go back to school.

Afterall, lots of people do it. It is okay for people to think they can do better than the Docs we have, just as long as they do it the right way. By going to med school.

alentyno: No it must not be marketing.... You can go into lecturing, you can also work in hospitals (where u will be paid btw 100-150k monthly).....But the basic truth about pharmacy is that if you want to enjoy it to the fullest, you just have to strive as much as possible to practice outside nigeria preferably in the UK. Why? Because the starting salary as of now is $80,000/yr! So if you are still a student, I advice that:
1. Do all you can to come out with a delicious result! So that you get overseas scholarship easily
2. Pray pray pray!

ojuafact: becos teacher dont listen to student rather student listen to teacher and teacher teaches the student not the other way round

nouveaux: and you believe the crap the op wrote? So inaccurate and annoying. How many people working in oil company studied engineering? How many people working in financial organizations studied accounting, baking/finance or economics? @op, e remain small make u make sense..

alentyno: Unfortunately that seems to be the case........
That notwithstanding sha its pertinent to note that that figure is the actual basic salary. E.g a company like swipha offers fresh grads 60k/month for startment but there are other things like sign on bonus which will be paid to you if you can meet the target (e.g market drugs worth 1m naira within 6 months) set for you
The summary of everything is that for you to make it as a pharmacist u must be extremely hardworking so you could meet your companies target because that's where the actual money lies.... If r not the lazy u could make up to 1m naira/yr before ur basic salary sef esp thru *smiles* emm ur personal add-ons e.g selling a drug of #200 for #250

Idyllic: Pls take time to read what the OP wrote gently, though it is a long post and try to absorb what he is saying. He was contrasting the type of system they have in UK with the one they have in US. And he was trying to say that the Government should implement anyone they want out of the two, because the two system obviously favour the Doctors. Don't get it muddled up. The two system favours the Doctor because in the case where the CEO is a neutral person, the next position after the CEO is given to a Medical Doctor and in the case where the highest position is given to a medical personnel, that medical personnel is a Doctor. Even in W.H.O, the head is a medical Doctor. No where in the world is a paramedic place above a Doctor except in the US military where the health worker with the highest military rank is considered instead of considering their profession. Hope you now understand.

Oduduwaboy: hmmm...the next point of agitation of JOHESU is for their members to also be addressed as 'Doctor '. Infact , the pharmacists have started it through their D.Pharm degree.lol.

Next will be the nurses & physiotherapists & other what-nots .
hmm...Nigeria is a wonderful country #everybodydeservestobecalledoctor

funshyboi: So agricultural sciences courses aren't dere? Then the list is useless

most pharmaceutical companies pay fresh
graduates between N500,000 and N900,000 per
annum, and it could increase to N2m or N3m after
about eight- or nine-year job experience.

emedy: Lemme tell Sowi in advance for what u'll miss.

Chartey: Where in Kd are you pls?
