Atiku Abubabkar, Abike Dabiri slam the sacking of resident doctors by FG

Like many of us, former VP Atiku Abubakar and House of Reps member Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa do not approve the sack of 16,000 resident doctors by the Federal Govt after the doctors refused to call off their strike. See more tweets after the cut...

If only these people fear God the way they do ebola, maybe ebola wouldn't have been able to penetrate at all because they would have been doing their jobs properly. Now ebola is here, everybody is panicked bcz unfortunately ebola isn't a respecter of money, class or position. Anywho, they're right sha. Uncle Jona biko what were you thinking?

Thank you o!!!!! Our president is just an illiterate literate... He would spend 100million naira on Independence Day party but would not increase a doctors harzard fee from 5000 to 100000..: please what would 5000 do if a HIV needle pricks a doc... Yet some illiterates are saying doctors are meant to save lives not strike... If that is d case everything should be free for doctors... Food clothing school fees, hospital fees...everything!

True talk

Unknown said...

Lol, this brova should try and sound more original.

just take a look at his comment, he outrightly blasts the FG but subtly blasts the striking doctors, so as not to offend them.

always ready to "take the side" of the people over the government...it would have worked if not that he has overdone it. the thing don too much sote we dey see tru the wash.

I remember a freshly graduated doctors father died because he could not afford the admission fees... What's the point of learning to save lives if you can't earn enough to save the life of your own family... Our president though... Rme

GEJ is becoming a democratic dictator.Can't say I blame him.We've allowed religious and tribal sentiments to becloud our sense of reasoning & our president is feeding on that to nurture & nourish his political ambition.Ride on sir,till you sink the ship of Nigeria in the atlantic ocean.

they should go and sleep, where were they when fashola sack all doctors in lagos, because it was APC they didn't see any thing wrong with that, foolish people. am not in support of the sack, but come to think of it, its residency and not actual doctors, so what they problem, after all will can have NYSC corpers in place of them.. when other profession don't have the same privilege. FG is try to safe cost and use the so call amount to increase the pay and meet the demands of the actual doctors

I just dey laugh even though this is not a laughing matter. The Minister of health is a medical doctor not a Nurse not a Pharmacist, etc. and our hospitals are nothing to be proud of and the welfare of health personnel is no business of the Minister. #SACK THE MINISTER. #NURSE AS A MINISTER

President Jonah is merely attempting to follow the blue print of Governor Fashola who also sacked his state doctors before recalling them. Unfortunately, he seems not to understand the repercussion of so doing. Like my brother who is a doctor said..."make una warn Jonah ooo before fish go swallow again"

Julie Best said...

Don't mind them, they want to showcase them selves as good people as if they would have done better if they are in his shoes. Every thing they will use it as political games.

It's the president's job to initiate dialogue to resolve the issue. He's the one who has the mandate of Nigerians and responsible foe their welfare. Some of you suspend your brains just to defend the mumu in Aso Rock.

The resident doctors are students in training,the federal government pay them 250k monthly as students, because they are training to be consultants.Who gave them the right to go on strike with the consultants.Its either they start paying school fees as resident doctors just like pple in other profession who go for masters or phd do, or this residency thing is scrapped.Nonsense serves them right.

Why can some of us here not enlighten ourselves b4 commenting rubbish here? Do U̶̲̥̅̊ think its †ђξ hazard allowance dat is holding up †ђξ strike? †ђξ FG has told Docs to return to work as Ѿhɑ̤̥̈̊†̥̥ both parties hv signed sinx †ђξ start of †ђξ year will b implemented(esp †ђξ payment), but †ђξ egocentric docs who proud demselves as god wants †ђξ FG to accept all †ђξ 24 points dat will only benefit dem n disbenefit †ђξ oda 95% of health workers. And †ђξ FG said "NO", dats not Ѿhɑ̤̥̈̊†̥̥ we signed wt U̶̲̥̅̊ in early dis year. So †ђξ Docs decided to go on strike, and †ђξ FG decided to treat dem as employee which dey Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥. If am †ђξ boss of a company my employee must not dictate Ѿhɑ̤̥̈̊†̥̥ happens in ma company. If its only †ђξ hazard †ђξ docs Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ after, its suppose to b increased as †ђξ all †ђξ health workers Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ at risk. And †ђξ FG has agreed to pay dem Ѿhɑ̤̥̈̊†̥̥ dey signed in january(as said by onyebuchi, †ђξ minister of health), yet our uncompassionate docs want dier other 23 points which is inconsiderate to b met. #NONSENSE

@ Anonymous who wants "corper doctors" to replace residents, surely u don't know who residents are. They make up abt 80-90 % of the specialists work force at tertiary hospitals with a minimum of 2years post university training which by the way lasts 6 to 10yrs ddepending on the institutions response to various ASSU strikes. Then they spend another 5 to 10 yrs training rigorously and writing various exams before they r called consultants after passing exams in a particular field. Thats an average of 10-20 years total of training for each individual. The residents are the backbone of the workforce in all tertiary hospitals but hiw will G.E.J understatand when even councillors travel abroad not to talk of hiS family or himself for their health needs. What sort of president goes for campaigns, film openings and d likes when ALL govt hospitals at all levels r shut down for 1 day nt to talk of 5 wks and counting with various degress of lies told to the public as to meeting the demands requested and crowns it by sacking 16,000 doctors to leave behind 3,000 for a population of 170, million. By the way we have about 26 medical schools graduate about 150 each or less per year so less than 4,000 per year who don't serve at same time nor have the capacity to function as residents. Now lets talk abt what's really on ground, wld u like to be under the doctor's knife asleep undee drugs helpless and NEPA goes out and either ur doctor continues with phone lights torch lights or leaves u open waiting? The brain drain will continue. They say over 25,000 nigerian specialists in the US alone. Oga is clueless. The hospitals are in a state, not to talk of the bickering of Johesu a union formed by everyone who is nt a doctor in the hospital including gatemen clerks cleaners, nurses lab technicians etc who want the right to head the hospitals and wanr to be called consultants and handle the responsibilities of doctprs simply bcos they have spent long yrs in service. Abeg shey you will like court clerk to become judfe since he has stayed long enuf in court to know what the judge does without appropriate training. If nigerians say doctors shd nt be respected, renumerated and anyone shd do their job then try getting a nurse to do your brain surgery the next time u need one. There can't be 2 drivers in a bus and the doctor"s training allows hin to head the team. Even in places where nurses r phd holders they love their jobs and respect this heirachy. Nigerians love shortcuts, if u wnt to be a doctor, do his job, get to his paygrades, be called consultants like him - go to the medical school! They are still open, give required years of your life training before u get to be told u r a consultant. Everyone in the team is important but each is trained to do a specifc job. In sane societies we don't have these issues bcos dy r nt title crazy. God help Nigeria and for a change bless us with wise leaders. Its hi time Nigerians understand the issues at stake and hold leadership responsible. How many health wrkers live wt HIV, Hepatitis, have died from Lassa fever virus to no avail. No life insurance, no compensations etc. The issues r enormous, the doctors r on strike because the common man suffers from poor facilities, when with the right investment cheaper than wardrobe and travel allowances of the political class we can get it right. Where r our priorities?

It is disheartening to notice the kind of write-ups against GEJ, the person you would call your leader, like one anonymous writer described our President and Commander in chief as thinking from his anus. For God sake why we appreciate the freedom of speech, we should learn to show some respect. I am entitle to my opinion and I may be wrong, BUT this is one lucky president Nigeria has ever produced. Its my hope and prayer that this nation will remain together inspite of the current challenges.

Where are d doctors?? They don't want to comment abi?? Ask them why they r on strike ? If not that they r selfish and self centered! I dnt knw y doctors feel dat d sun rises and sets on them. So no other paramedical should become consultants!!! Diaris God!

Its very simple....you want to become chief medical director/consultant???? GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL...if not,continue with what you studied...mtcheeewww....enough is enough jareeeee....Doctors have taken enough!!! everybody wants to be called a doctor but you don't want to pass through the stress of Medical school......which other profession asides Medicine do u adopt their title just by studying something else that isn't even related to the course????......u study history explicitly and bag a DOCTORATE DEGREE and adopt the title doctor....the title "Doctor" is now a traditional title ....If you want it, FOLLOW the DUE PROCESS Chikena!!!

For once I totally concur with what the president did with the sacking of all those stupid doctors. They are just too selfish, are they the only one working in health institution or what about the doctors working in state hospitals are they making upto does in tertiary health institutions and yet they aren't complaining? Every doctor is pompous and a potential fool

NIGERIANS. YOU GUYS SHOULD LEARN TO GET UR FACTS RIGHT.
1. WE SHD THANK GOD THEY WERE ON STRIKE COS THE TRF SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER.
2. HOW CAN OTHER HEALTH WORKERS BE EARNING THE SAME BASIC SALARIES WITH DOCTORS.
3. NA UNA GO SUFFER COS PRIVATE HOSPITALS WILL CUT UR NECKS WITH CHARGES.
4.OTHER HEALTH WORKERS WANT TO BECOME CONSULTANTS WHERE IS IT DONE?
5. THEY PAY DESE DOCTORS VERY IRREGULAR SALARIES EVERY MONTH.SALARIES ARE ALWAYS INCOMPLETE.
6. WITH ALL THEY SEE AND ALL THEY ARE PAID JUST 5K FOR HAZZARD ALLOWANCE TERRBILE. SO IF IN THE ID TO SAVE EBOLA PATIENTS THEY CONTACT IT GOVT PAYS THEM ONLY 5K. ARU. A LOT MORE OTHER THINGS AND U GUYS SIT THERE AND WAG UR MOUTHS. I PITY ALL OF U.
