No one ever asks him to explain what 90% meant; some circulars and MoU. These are documents they offer you and turn round to contravene and debase. In January they offered circulars and MoU, we took them and called off threat of strike, 7months later the circulars were never implemented and the MoU have been desecrated by this same government. Now MoU and Circulars are no longer sacred government documents. We want commencement of implementation. This government lies a lot. Today they said they dont have money to implement but 6 months earlier when granting the circular we urged them to send supplementary budget for its implementation. The government agents said our business was to do our work as they will pay from SERVICE WIDE VOTE. Who is fooling who? Isreal despite being in a constant war zone did not sack her doctors after 5 months of strike. All through this strike, doctors under NMA directive have always scrambled to take care of bomb blasts victims in the North. Several NGOs commended this gesture, did your government comment on these? People are bamboozled into thinking that all doctors are actually needed to contain ebola (which by the way this government stood by and watch fly into Nigeria). That’s cheap propaganda. All they need are infectious disease specialists and the public health physicians.Ebola will also not be managed in Teaching Hospitals, we need quarantine centres. Not that pako (raw wood) mama-put structure at Mainland hospital Lagos. After N1.9m release all we have are wooden structures no airflow controlled tents. No citizen have asked government questions on these. NMA have volunteered to send necessary specialists to the quarantine centres. Where are the quarantine centres in your state? We dont need Surgeons, Gynaecologists, Dermatologist, etc for ebola containment. Its all cheap propaganda. Note that in this strike NMA is going for broke. We don’t care what Nigerians think because they are weak. People that worship those that acquired riches by stealing from them (Nigerians). We want the health sector privatised or order restored. People that set up Yayale Ahmed committee to study international best practices in health sector and make suggestions on way forward then turn around and undermine the same committee, rendering their recommendations useless after spending so much to fund it Nigerians capacity for selective amnesia amazes me.Well, I am always consoled by the fact that every population only gets the leadership they deserve.
