Having spent all the years training to become a medical doctor, you are still not qualified until you get your practicing license from the NMA. Certainly some big bosses or controllers of the associations got greedy, as they probably found the place as a looting ground. Their greed has been destroyed by the court. Now once you are out of school, you can practice. However what and see how they would still put stumbling blocks on the way. I am very sure that many Doctors are glad at the judgement. Now this Doctor has dismantled that structure. That’s what Peter Obi talks about. Destruction of the structure of criminality. The Doctor must be Obidient! 1 Like |

Basic: Malpractice and discipline of medical practitioners are what seems to interest you. Interest of medical practitioners does not interest you. Reality is if interest of practitioners is not looked after by the government, government hospitals will become mere decorative edifices. |

onuman: The issue is not the association. Most of this professional associations in Nogeria overcharge and extort from their members yearly levies and dues with no tangible benefits to the members In my opinion, most of them are extortion rackets . Their regulatory function is secondary |

Racoon: Medical and dental council of Nigeria (MDCN) is the body that regulate medical and dental practice in Nigeria. Nigeria medical Association (MMA) doesn't regulate medical and dental practice in Nigeria and it is NMA that the doctor sued. So, the court has rightly said that because you are a medical doctor or dentist doesn't make you an automatic member of NMA. A doctor can decide not to be a member of NMA and that's okay. MDCN that regulates dental and medical practice in Nigeria will still continue to regulate the practice in Nigeria. |

onuman:Leave story, Oga. The reality is that in Nigeria, membership of an association is not and should not be a must. Your opinion or emotions are inconsequential here. The fact that a doctor is the one championing this cause speaks volumes. You think many doctors aren't fed up with NMA's extortion and shenanigans? If you're not a doctor, you can't relate. |

adioolayi: NMA doesn't regulate anything. It's just an association of doctors in Nigeria. It is the medical and dental council of Nigeria (MDCN) that regulates the practice of medicine and dentistry in Nigeria. |

Bluntemperor:. That Judgement will surely be appealed against and won by the NMA! What is this one Saying ? Stop wasting your time . The Nigerian Constitution as Amended says There is Freedom of Association,To Join Association is not by Force .NMA is an Association . No Law Compels Any Doctor to Join them ,It's a Matter of Choice ,If they like You too can join them to Appeal at the Supreme court. Don't just know why someone would still Keep Talking Lies when the Truth is Clear . Oga Park Well Jare . No wonder one Governor like that Ban all Kangaroo Association in his state .. ![]() |

freedomchild: I can categorically tell you that the National Association of resident doctors (NARD) fights more for the rights of doctors in this country than NMA. This judgement is a welcome development 1 Like |

Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by onuman: 11:26pm On May 14 |
Basic:The litigant doctor ought to have prayed the court to stop the NMA from extorting doctors. The NMA plays supplementary roles to the NMDC in regulating medical practice, as well as protect the interest of doctors. Making the NMA a voluntary association is not at the interest of medical practice in the country. It's the government that is supposed to checkmate the extortionist officials of the NMA. But the government is not living up to its responsibility on that; the same manner the government has failed to checkmate extortion of members in other professional associations that indulge in extortion of their members; the same way the government has failed to checkmate the electricity DISCOs that extort citizens through Community Bills. |

Racoon:NMA is not a regulatory agency for Medical practice in Nigeria. MDCAN is the regulatory agency and the Dr that secured this judgement is not against that. |
Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by psalmsjob: 12:01am On May 15 |
hopeforcharles: It is the Council that regulates not the NMA but because the Dr refused to pay mugu-money then they use their bloders in the council to enforce what he refused to pay them. But how many fake doctors has NMA ever found out if that's a thing they are supposed to be good for? It is civil organisations, citizen activists and health ministry that should be empowered or encouraged to checkmate or investigate fake doctors and hospitals that may want to hide under "No be by force to join association that the execos will turn to "office" of obtaining under false pretences ![]() 1 Like |

Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by drsibz66(m): 1:21am On May 15 |
Racoon: NMA is a union and not a licencing or regulatory authority. MDCN is the licenciannd regulatory body for doctors and dentist. You must be registered with the MDCN before you can be a doctor or practice in Nigeria. ON the flip side you don't need to be a member of NMA to be a doctor or practice in Nigeria. In other words NMA is an association of doctors with a common in interest. Just like association of private hospital owners in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Racoon:did u read d story at all? Eno get problem with d regulatory body, na d association he get problem with... The regulatory body and association work hand in hand, before you renew your licence, you have to pay association fees, and sometimes dis association fees are squandered by the so called excos, so it's a nice development, the association should be separated from the regulatory body |
Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by Gajagojo: 2:27am On May 15 |
