Omo ale tanna woro.

The amount of resentment these people have for the Yoruba race is so unimaginable and I keep wondering why.

It's a DNA thing. Once you prevent them from having their way, they will hate you with every fibre of their being. They always believe they are smarter, more cunning and better. But when you outsmart them, they will so much hate you. They won't even want to listen to anything again.

The wife of the LP candidate for the past Lagos Governorship elections, Ify Aniebo Rhodes Vivour, made the following tweet on her twitter page:

This caused several replies from critics who accused her father, a Biafra War colonel and past governor of Borno and Kogi state, of looting the funds of Kogi state and refusing to handover to the democratically elected governor Abubakar Audu in 1999.

Every functional system you see today was once a dysfunctional one

Toooorr.

Last time I checked, Buhari is still president.

TheOldGods:
Nigeria that don't have Hospitals to treat kidney infection which is suddenly pandemic, no equipment that even pregnant women still die in hospitals. Instead of them to pass a bill to reform the health sector they do the opposite, they would rather reform their large salaries and allowances. Nigeria and APC government is a joke. So instead to treat the root cause of the problems, they want to force medical doctors five years. Wait is it the same medical doctors that can't find jobs in Nigeria or is there something new going on? The same doctor's that are paid peanut even when they rush out midnight for emergencies. I like what is happening, when we told they to remove APC they claimed LP is a tribe party. By the time APC finishes with you people, you will understand it's not about tribes again, but vote someone who has your interest at hand

It is not APC alone. It is all politicians. They all cross carpet if one party is not working for them. They are all one and the same.

austinvsb:
An important bill! The US does the same through the 7 years RESIDENCY programme that is Mandatory for anyone that wants to be a practicing doctor.

Looks like most people now want to go study medicine in Nigerian universities so as to be able to run away the next year after graduation!

That's not to take away from the need for the Government to provide proper financial compensations and facilities for our doctors!!!

You make me laugh
You dare to compare a functional system to a dysfunctional one?

Is04970:
There are arguments for and against the bill but I'll tilt towards the Reps.
If you desire to practice in UK or US as a medical practitioner why not school there and pay huge fees for your training?
Why get your education in Nigeria with taxpayers money and end up not being useful for Nigeria?
The hospitals in Nigeria aren't equipped ;Yes. So also the airports, seaports, the roads are bad etc but if the country manages to train you to become a doctor it behoves on you to manage to practice there.

When a man is born into a dysfunctional system, he thinks dysfunctionally. That is the summation of your life

DesChyko:
The Nigerian Medical Students' Association @NiMSA_Nigeria strongly opposes the recently proposed bill to mandate Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners to practice in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full license to practice.

This bill, sponsored by Rep. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson is unpatriotic, ill-timed and a breach of the fundamental human right of doctors as enshrined in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria as amended.

This bill is aimed at strangulating the medical profession and making mockery of her autonomy.

The reason given by Rep. Johnson for sponsoring this bill will end up achieving the direct opposite as the bill seeks to enslave Nigerian trained doctors and paralyze the health care system. The search for greener pastures abroad can be reduced by making our land and pasture green, properly equipping our hospitals, better treatment for doctors and the brain drain will be adequately controlled. Rep. Johnson at this point should be steering conversations on medical tourism and not doctor slavery.

We firmly believe that this bill is not the solution to the problem of brain drain, and we stand against it in its entirety in the strongest possible terms.

The intention behind the sponsorship of this bill does not take into consideration the root causes of brain drain in Nigeria. The issue of brain drain is multifaceted and requires a more comprehensive approach to tackle it.

Instead of trying to forcefully take doctors as slaves, the lawmakers should be focusing on creating an enabling environment that encourages doctors to stay and work in Nigeria. The lack of infrastructure, inadequate and inappropriate remuneration, and poor working conditions are some of the major factors driving medical professionals away from Nigeria. These issues need to be addressed if we want to attract and retain our healthcare professionals; make our land green.

We also believe that the bill is a violation of the fundamental human rights of medical professionals and should not see the light of the day. The government has no right to force doctors to work in a particular location against their will- it is an affront to their autonomy and choice. We also unequivocally state that this bill will discourage students from pursuing medical education in Nigeria, which will further exacerbate the problem of the shortage of healthcare professionals.

A better way to bring up the issue of being trained with “tax payer subsidies” would be to have it optional, the option of paying for medical education at the real cost value, the option of obtaining student loans and also the option of going for the subsidized medical education with the caveat of staying behind for a certain number of years to “pay back”. Besides, not all Doctors in the country are trained on subsidy; one thing the bill failed to capture. Doctors need to have a choice, even before they start their training so they can make better informed decisions.

Additionally, we strongly believe that the bill is arbitrary in nature and totally unconstitutional- it deprives the Nigerian-trained medical and dental practitioners of their fundamental right to freedom of movement by arbitrarily imposing restrictions on their movements against the provision of Section 41 the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In conclusion, @NiMSA_Nigeria vehemently opposes this bill in part and in one whole. We call on the sponsor of the bill to withdraw it with immediate effect and seek better ways of finding a lasting solution to the problem of brain drain by consultative collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the health sector coupled with the government's willingness to address the root causes and underlying issues that drive healthcare professionals away from Nigeria.

The Nigerian medical students’ association, is eager for a better health system hence, our willingness to work with the government, as we have always done, to find lasting solutions to the issues plaguing the healthcare system.

The health sector is essential to the growth and development of our nation, and we must take steps to ensure that our healthcare professionals stay and contribute to the growth of our country.

We say *NO* to this bill,
Rather, make our land and pasture green.

I don't know why our leaders are thinking like North Korean leaders. Very soon, when they discover that people are no longer studying medicine, they will pass a bill making it mandatory to study it. Yeye people.

tamdun:
They should go and sch in UK/US then,majority of the medical students can't afford to sch abroad,fed govt is subsidising education for them for the betterment of NIG citizens not UK/US/Saudi

You cannot even say anything about the salient points that the guy highlighted. Those that are being trained at private universities don't get to enjoy any subsidy. Read what the guy said again and see if you are not thinking like Abacha.

The sponsorship of this bill is a direct consequence of being represented by nincompoops with brain atrophy who cannot think deep and act beyond "bigmanism" and dictatorial tendencies.

You don't expect a wild animal to reason like human!

FreeStuffsNG:
It is obvious, you do not understand me if you really think with this law you will now get that provisional license as easy as you got it. You are confusing a time when there is no law forbiding an action to when there is now a national law against it Are they the same? Do you really know the implication of a law that criminalises what you do even if you are yet to be prosecuted and convicted?

I have laid it out to you where intervention will come is at the provisional license stage and if you truly have gone through it then you will not suggest that without provisional licence you can still go overseas.
And this is the real part of the law that address the "overwise", the law will peescribe that if you flout the law , it will make you liable to conviction. Please did you also go through the training with a criminal conviction record?

I have maintained that the law will come in between the oath taking and taking your full license and you are just confirming it so I do not get your opening line. Once you get the provisional license is not even the real issue, the issue is just jetting out as a fresh medical graduate with no provisional license and even if you jet out with provisional license, the law now makes you liable. So many areas the govt will effect this law you know govt can but not willing to admit it and I am not willing to even disclose further to avoid unnecessary argument.After God na Govt o.

How about this mooks sponsoring a law to make it a crime for any public office holder or politician to go for medical treatment abroad?

What kind of enslavement is this? After someone spent years using his own resources to train himself to become a doctor, you now want to stop him from further advancing himself?

I don't think Emile O'Corn is that stupid. He has a track record of putting the right people in the right place. Let's give that to him. Besides, the woman must really be incompetent and a thief for goofy GEJ and boring Buhari to have thrown her under the bus.

And what does it mean? Wole Olanipekun led the defense of Goodluck Jonathan’s election in 2011 and at the same time defended Tinubu against fabricated accusations leveled against him by the same Goodluck Jonathan at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

Instead of you LP losers to focus on settling the internal dispute in your party, you are busy looking for who to blame. APC has no business with your useless party, fix your problems and leave Mr. President-elect out of this.

Peter Obi lost woefully despite deploying lies, fake news and propaganda as the main strategy of his campaign. You’re also going to lose in your attempt to discredit and malign the good work of the incoming president.
