YourHealthlabs:go and get yourself educated on the issues, NMA was NEVER in court on this matter and the restraining order did not mentioned NMA as a party. It was MDCAN that too FG and JOHESU to court and MDCAN did not declare strike, NMA did. |

GoldStandard: This thread reeks of ignorance! Is it the work of the pharmacist or nurse or lab scientist that a Dr can not do? The Dr's are on strike, you all should go & get treated by the Consultant Nurses & Lab Scientists na! This same over-hyped Nigerian Dr's are being employed instantly in US, UK........anyway 'a prophet is not known in his hometown' Nigerian B.mls have been evaluated to be of US standard. Nigerian scientists pass the NCA and ASCP exams with ease to work as MLScientists in U.S and Canadian labs. Nigerian M.bbs is NOT an International standard. MD is d real deal. U.S and U.K hospital DO NOT employ Nigerian docs instantly. They are made to write USMLE which is very highly competitive for non-US and non-Canadian trained docs and chances are very slim for these foreign-trained physicians in the U.S. Stop misleading people. We've settle this issue in my previous posts on a different thread. |

Someone once said "the most difficult person to wake up, is the one pretending to be sleeping" Most of d anti doctor comments is borne out of ignorance. The govt promised to meet our needs at d early part of year. Till now, they have reneged on their agreement. There were series of meeting, warning strike,ultimatums and finally an indefinate strike. When d doctors where talking with d govt, how many of the e warriors asked the govt to do the needed. Of course, they see doctors as priest who should render charity They deliberately turned a blind eye to all the times we tried to resolve this issues without strike Look at our ASUP that have being on strike for more than a year, how many of u have made any meaningful contribution to end the strike The truth is that the govt only listens to strike If strike the only music that this govt listens to, then by all means let dem hear it in full blast. For those who want to refer to soldiers n policemen, if they are comfortable working the way they have being, then by all means let them continue. For those who had lost their lives while doing so, what did these e-warriors do, them lamblasted them, calling them cowards,bribetakers,thieves and oppressors. For doctors, they refused the status quo. If u can't stomach it. Climb mtn mast and jump down! 5 Likes |

joker5180: go and get yourself educated on the issues, NMA was NEVER in court on this matter and the restraining order did not mentioned NMA as a party. It was MDCAN that too FG and JOHESU to court and MDCAN did not declare strike, NMA did. NMA and MDCAN are of the same body with similar goals. The order was supposed include 'ALL Parties involved' and all impending STRIKE must be suspended. Somebody disregarded the court order and told the Nigerian Judiciary to go hell by declaring strike. Who did? NMA. |

armadeo: Keep shut if you don't know. Academy used to be a 3years program in the past. With the introduction of degree, it became a 5years program. Around 2002 -2003 cadets training was returned to 4years such that about 3 regular courses of cadets graduated within 4years, before it was returned back to a 5year program. So as rightly as he has said, those officers who enlisted within those years are captains. |

CLARIFICATION NMA- nigerian medical association is a professional body of ALL medical doctors who are registered and licensed to practice in nigeria by medical and dental council of nigeria MDCN. It has branches in all the 36 states of the federation including FCT. NMA Affiliates these are groups of medical doctors with common interests, they are affiliated to NMA and can independantly embark on strike when the need arises. 1 MDCAN- medical and dental consultants association of nigeria, All consultants belong to this affiliate 2 NDA - nigerian dental association. ALL dentists belongs here 3 MWAN - medical women association of nigeria, ALL women doctors are members 4 NARD - national association of residents doctors, ALL doctors on residency trainning are here 5 NAGGMDP- national association of government general medical and dental practioners, ALL non-specialists doctors working with state and local governments 6 AGPMPN- association of general private medical practioners of nigeria, ALL non- specialist doctors in private practice 7 NADUHS- national association of doctors in university health services, ALL doctors working in university clinics. Whenever you hear of doctors strike kindly ask questions to find out which group of doctors are on strike. As far as I am aware this is the 2nd time NMA NATIONAL is embarking on strike in the last 4years. 2 Likes |

To me all the ranting of the doctor about the confusion that will result from other health professionals being made doctors. Now, seriously... we know that Medical Practice didn't start in Nigeria. The question is this: in US, UK, Canada and other advanced countries, do other health professionals like Pharmacist, Nurses, Physiotherapist advance in their careers to become consultants? From all indications it seem that do. So why should Nigeria be different because Nigerian doctors says. Secondly because these other health professionals can advance to become consultants, does it mean that jus and dick & harry nurse, pharmacist etc can become a consultant? I'm sure that's not the case. I'm sue there are stringent requirements for them to become consultants. In solving this issue, I believe the government should just follow global best practices. But for doctors to put up blanket no against other professionals becoming consultants seems wrong. 2 Likes |

dBard:Exactly my point. I said doctors are overhyped in Nigeria, I didn't say doctors are overhyped. Any sick person needs a doctor not just in Nigeria but all over the world. So your "dont visit a doctor" point doesn't count. I can't see how I degraded them ..tho t u it still doesnt render them less important..I never said they were unimportant. If I say Enyeama is overhyped (it's just an illustration I'm not saying he is), I'm not saying he's not important, I'm just saying people are exaggerating his abilities, bla bla bla. Get it? |

The general consensus I get from these threads is that the Nigerian public does not require the services of these idiots called Doctors. So why all the noise, take your sick to the pharmacist, physiotherapist , MLS and nurses, no one is stopping you. After all some years ago Borno state brought in Egyptian technologist who were acting as doctors. Yes people died but it's better than being treated by a lousy Nigerian doctor.In everything in life there is the law of demand and supply if people stop looking for doctors then we(cos I am one) will find our level. Shikena! |

Am sure you are also amazed at the level of antagonism coming from the populace though I don't believe that they represent a majority, its funny that these same people cursing out here will use speed to get to the hospital screaming dr dr when the "oppressed ones" have pushed them into the embrace of the grim reaper expecting the arrogant god to perform miracles.

Hearme:See yourself !!! What makes you think he's not right after all? PhD is purely an academic training lasting 4-5yrs with research & thesis submission. Postgraduate Medical Training lasts 6-10yrs with combined academic & clinical training rounded off with a robust research experience & thesis. A resident physician is more likely to fail his/her exams. By the way, the foundation sets them apart since a doc spends > 6yrs in schl while the PhD scholar spends at most 5yrs in respect to the 1st degree! Do you still think he's outright wrong saying that ? |

Funny thing every joke of a union think they are important these days. Call me when the petroleum tanker drivers start their strike, cos those are the real gods. I think the docs are silly and greedy, though I respect their right to protest or down tools. I just dont think its fair for a Nigerian civil servant to get their salary when they are on strike. And if they delay longer, they should all be sacked and new docs re hired. Leave management for Managers. |

7sperovs: Very well on point!!! MOBBDEEP: Can I ask what phd you're referring to that's just 5yrs? Have u forgotten that there's usually some 4yrs of study plus about a year masters prior to phd? You call phd purely research and thesis, forgetting that this research is very intense so that it's the foundation of the new findings we enjoy today, even the new knowledge doctors know today. Pls correct me if I'm wrong on this. My dear, no profession is lesser than the other. The debate has been on since my secondary school days and no one ever agreed that one degree is superior to another. Instead it's the degree holder that makes the difference. 1 Like |
