aluunoble: It's regrettably sad that the once hallowed NMA has lost public sympathy as a result of politicks of calumny, impunity and unhealthy rivalry. Shame on 'nma'! Ur relevance n public ratings are waning and dwindling down the drains. It's indeed laughable as this is the beginning of the end of 'enemy' sorry NMA. Stewpidity in an Open scandal. This is the 1st time in d annals of nma history dat they've embarked on a would-be futile n senseless strike action. I'm sure the pple nma has tagged 'support staff' would turn them to laughing stock as there'll soon return to work in shame. I was told nma had a 28-point demands and have now narrowed it down to SEVEN, THREE and just yesterday 21st July exactly 3 weeks into the strike narrowed it finally to One (1) major demand which hinges solely on money, 13 Billion Naira! Is this not ridiculous? Hmm na wa oh! This scenerio smacks of a failled project if u ask me an aspiring LLB. I wonder what Economists in this forum call this when juxtaposed with opportunity cost (I once had 28 demands n now 1 demand and Okonjo Iwela doesn't giv a bleep on ma surviving demand saying there is no money). This further buttresses d fact that nma and mdcan are self-conceited! It's now an open secret that this folks are after their pockets and not the patients' welfare as they earlier portrayed the matter to the public. What a shameless shame! The wayforward is the plan in the offing where salary of 1st degree holders in every sector will be same except allowances.Let's hv someone who studied engineering,business or public admin, pol science etc receive same salary as the medic and paramedics for once except their allowances. I see it coming to fruition.

lol,you are sooo pathetic its pathetic!wait till u get ur LLB and a paralegal(assuming you know what that means),wants to become an attorney general.I think you will know what we are talking about then.every profession may be important,but they are certainly not equal! ask the many people that want to bear the title of 'doctor' good luck to you in your 1st year exams in faculty of law,please put your head down and read,so you will pass your exams and become a lawyer in 5 years time.

Johesu is soooooo pathetic! most of them are medical school drop outs.if they were the doctors,would they agree to other health professionals being CMDs? It will never happen! we will strike till it is reversed,let them take patients into the consulting rooms and theatres and diagnose and operate...I laugh.if they go on strike,let them watch us do laboratory invxs and dispense drugs.
