Payment of salary to House Officers is not an act of charity.
House Officers are not volunteers.
We deserve a stable payment platform where we can be sure of when our salaries are going to be paid !!
House officers in Nigeria have been begging to be paid their salaries every month since they started working.
They are working 80 hour shifts in conditionings that will shut down hospitals in other parts of the world for a paltry sum.
You will never seen the emergency lovers of Nigeria and the patriots empathise with them or call for the government to do the right thing.
As soon as a HO survives this and decides to leave, that is when the emergency partiots will come and remind you that education in Nigeria is "subsidized". 💀
Nigerians!!! Well meaning voices, Respected Elder statesmen and stakeholders.
This goes to everyone.
In the next 24 hours, Resident Doctors might go on strike and shutdown the Entire healthcare system in Nigeria. Don't fight Doctors, Fight your government that hasn't provided listening ears.
The government has failed to honour the initial Memorandum that made Doctors call of the earlier strike.
Salaries are being owed, arrears have not been paid, the barest minimum for the Healthcare sector isn't addressed, dangerous work hours yet to be addressed.
The clock is ticking. Don't bring your anger to Doctors when this happens in the next few hours.
Take your anger to the government, March to the people that matter and demand better.
If you are in authority, if you have power, this is the time to pull strings and ensure the government does better.
24 hours to total health shutdown.
May God bless Nigeria
when people say “stop being political” what they really mean is the system works fine for me and you’re ruining my vibe by reminding me it’s built on other peoples pain
You meet someone new and y'all bond so effortlessly and you are like "Where have you been all my life? Two weeks later they go back to where they have been all your life.
Everywhere on my timeline yesterday "Taste like yours can't be defined, but let's try anyway".
Ashey nah copy and paste dem do all of you.
You were there feeling yourself ehn fine boy?🫣
I’ve been watching the #ResidentDoctors strike and we all need to lend our voice. For over two weeks, NARD doctors have withdrawn their services — and the government still hasn’t fully answered.
These aren’t petty demands. NARD says N38 billion is owed in unpaid salaries and allowances. Resident doctors are the backbone of public hospitals — yet their welfare keeps being ignored.
According to NARD, only 2 of 19 demands have received “progress.”
At UCH (Ibadan) — a premier teaching hospital — resident doctors have fully complied. Consultants are trying to manage, but it’s not a sustainable solution.
These doctors are not striking to be difficult. They’re striking because conditions are untenable: low pay, high work pressure, no long-term security.
The president has now directed the Health Ministry to act, but NARD insists their 19-point demand must be fully met. Partial payouts or half-measures won’t cut it.
As someone who cares about long-term sustainability, I know this matters: A broken health system isn’t just a loss for doctors — it’s a loss for all of us.
@nard_nigeria deserves more than lip service. They deserve real, lasting reform. This is not just a strike — it’s a fight for justice, dignity, and healthcare for every Nigerian.
I’m calling on fellow Nigerians, public servants, and every leader who can influence this: Stand with them. Amplify their voice. Push for a resolution that lasts, not a band-aid fix.
To @nard_nigeria — your cause matters..
We stand with you.
Resident Doctors on strike
Joint Health Workers on strike
ASUU ;Universities to be shut down on Friday.
LAUTECH medical students have been out of school for over 110 days
A nation with no regard for Healthcare and Education.
THE HARD TRUTH, the hard reality;
“When God wants to make a man powerful, He doesn't crown him first; He breaks him. First, He strips away your comfort, your pride, your plans, until all that's left is what's real. That isn't punishment, that's training.”
Please be careful not to interpret this as God is going to break you to make you great for your own glory and fame.
Nigerian Resident Doctors are some of the most resilient souls you can find anywhere.
They’re Patriotic, decent family men and women.
The roughness of medical school, house job, NYSC and residency training means you will literally be writing exams for 25 to 30 years from Primary School till the end of your training to become a consultant. In addition, the larger Nigerian economic realities lay on your bed with you every step of the way.
The resident Doctor will still be on call to save lives with exhaustion, improvisation, grit, fortitude, fear of failure, work place and residency related bullying, his consultant’s ego, his patient’s mistrust, under equipped hospitals with no power, an ungrateful Government, and YES, PATRIOTISM.
His parents spend fortunes to put him/her through school. The Government spends fortunes to provide facilities for training. Naturally, that resident doctor wants to graduate and serve his country while also taking care of his parents.
Every Resident Doctor wants to achieve this by investing his youth, belief and loyalty into the Nigerian system. The only glue that keeps the resident Doctor to this dream is the glue made from PATRIOTISM.
Unfortunately, Patriotism doesn’t pay school fees or put food on the table. It doesn’t pay rent or pay examination fees. At least not in Nigeria. And it certainly won’t take care of your parents or children in their times of need.
There is no better analogy to God’s plan of preparing men and women for tasks beyond themselves like the story of the resident doctor in Nigeria.
Even when you strike, protest, give ultimatums, cry out, shout at the top of your lungs and even die, nothing is heard, nothing is done. You get paid peanuts and asked to resume back to work.
And when a resident Doctor eventually makes the ultimate sacrifice, Nigeria is certain it will produce more doctors to replace those who have now become only statistics and relegated to the annals of arguments.
After all, Nigeria Produces tons of Doctors and bleeds them unpatriotically to other countries.
Let us all remember, dear distinguished resident doctors, some of us will not be here to lead forever. Some other of us will have to step up to lead the rest of us and lead us like Lions.
“Doctors are lions, no sheep can lead them. To lead Doctors, you must be a lion. We are all lions.”
For those who choose to remain in Nigeria, let us continue to rally around the 19-Point demand of NARD.
Those who choose to JAPA, kindly do us the favor of genuinely consulting our leaders who also JAPA for medical tourism just to see your UNPATRIOTIC consulting faces abroad.
As for me, I remain committed to the struggle as directed by the National Executive Council of NARD
As Always,
P-MUS of NARD
