"Be mindful of the Day when you will ˹all˺ be returned to Allah, then every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged."
Q 2:281
But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters.”
Q 28:77
Fear Allah and don't cheat people of their hard earned possessions.
Fear Allah and don't take from what's not yours.
You don't even have to get to the point of death to realize the worthlessness of material possessions, even a severe acute illness shows you that. Heed!
In Saudi Arabia, if you kill an innocent human being, they’ll behead you immediately.
That’s the only thing a killer deserves.
If you know you’ll pay with your life, you won’t take anyone else’s life.
ISLAMIC SHARIA IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO ALL THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS!
When political appointments are mere campaign strategies,
When political seats are desperately bought,
When the dullest and most shady of us get to be policy makers,
You have Kebbi, you have Katsina, you have Zamfara, you have Borno, you have Nigeria.
The stethoscope that once heard every heartbeat now lies still.Not out of pride, but protest.
We have served through darkness, paid with patience,
and endured without tools or pay.
Now we speak through silence.
Until justice echoes, our silence will roar

A PASSIONATE APPEAL TO THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FEDERATION
Dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR
Your Excellency Sir,
Warm greetings to you from the entire body of Resident Doctors in Nigeria; a vital group of young medical professionals who provide specialist care and constitute a significant portion of the nation’s healthcare workforce.
We write to you today with deep concern and a profound sense of duty to draw your urgent attention to the worsening state of Nigeria’s health sector. Our healthcare system, Sir, is on the verge of collapse, a situation that has now assumed the dimensions of a national emergency and a matter of national security.
Your Excellency, we are aware that some individuals around you may have assured you that the challenges facing resident doctors have been resolved. Respectfully, Sir, that information is not accurate. Our realities in the hospitals across Nigeria tell a different story. Many of our members are yet to receive their legitimate entitlements, despite several signed agreements and repeated assurances from government representatives.
We are not politicians. We are doctors; men and women devoted to saving lives, working long hours in often harsh and under-resourced conditions. Our appeal is simple and sincere: we seek not luxuries, but the basic salaries, allowances, and welfare packages that have already been approved and promised by government.
Sadly, while many in privileged positions continue to receive their full emoluments without delay, the frontline doctors who shoulder the burden of patient care are left struggling. This inequity is demoralizing and threatens the very foundation of our healthcare delivery system.
Mr. President, you have always been known for your compassion, fairness, and courage in addressing difficult national challenges. We therefore appeal to your fatherly leadership to personally intervene and resolve the long-standing 19-point demands of the Nigerian Resident Doctors in order to restore hope, trust, and stability to our health sector.
We believe that under your decisive leadership, Nigeria’s health system can once again stand strong to serve our people with dignity and save countless lives.
May God grant you the wisdom, strength, and goodwill to act swiftly in the interest of all Nigerians.
Thank you Your Excellency for your kind attention and anticipated action.
Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
President, Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors

For over a month now ,NARD has been warning about striking and giving daily updates while hoping the government would act before things fall apart. The NARD that we all know will never rush to strike. They give every chance for dialogue and what have they received in return? Silence. Not even the decency of acknowledgment. It is as if doctors lives don’t matter and the collapse of the healthcare system are background noise to those in power.
The Nigerian Medical Association(NMA) that should stand as the backbone of doctors in this country has instead become notorious for doing the exact opposite. There are strong rumours that they are already courting the leadership of the health ministry. At every critical moment when doctors need solidarity, the NMA suddenly goes missing .No statement, no stance, no spine. They wait quietly in the shadows and the moment NARD exercises its right to strike, they suddenly reappear calling themselves “Medical Elders” with well ironed suits and heading for courtesy visits and photo ops with the presidency or health ministry not to fight for doctors but to sabotage those who dared to demand dignity.This has become a pattern so predictable.This has happened too often for it to be a coincidence. It is a betrayal and history will remember it as such.
And the public has been silent too untill the strike begins. Then suddenly everyone becomes a moral authority. “What about the Hippocratic Oath?”As if that oath means doctors must suffer in silence and die of hunger. As if being a doctor means you stop being human. As if doctors don’t have families, pay rent, experience inflation or work burnout. Nobody remembers any of that until they need a doctor at 2am in a hospital with no light, no equipment and a salary unpaid for months.
All NARD is doing is demanding fair pay, safe working conditions and functional hospitals. This is not selfish. It is survival. You cannot pour from an empty cup and Nigerian doctors have been pouring from cracked and bleeding hands for too long.
If the NMA will not stand for doctors, it should at least step out of the way and stop standing against them.
History will remember who spoke up and who stayed silent. Who fought for better healthcare and who chose access, politics and proximity to power over people.
Doctors are are not sacrificial lambs. They are human beings asking for what any reasonable society should have given them without a fight.
Distinguished NARDites,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
29 days ago, you gave this National Officers Committee (NOC) the Mandate to lead our noble association. Along with that mandate, you also handed us a second mandate of a 30-Day Ultimatum to the Federal Government on our demands.
I am happy to report to you that the NOC has carried out that second Mandate as best as we can (with grace and confidence).
Today, after a 5-Hour Extra-Ordinary National Executive Council Meeting, the Members of NEC have issued out new marching orders to us once again.
The NEC has unanimously directed us to declare a TOTAL, COMPREHENSIVE AND INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION to commence on Friday 31st October 2025 at 11:59pm.
We have reported to NEC and NEC has decided. The NOC will carry out this directive to its latter and in full compliance.
The NEC has marshaled out Minimum Demands, Strike Monitoring directives, No Work No Pay/No Pay No Work resolutions and all such other modalities and weapons needed for a successful execution of this ACTION.
NEC has also decided that centre Presidents and General Secretaries shall go back and call Emergency Congress Meetings to brief Members on the details there-in.
May I kindly say, some elements in the Government (and non-Governmental) have very evil and exploitative plans for Resident Doctors in this country. We shall collectively resist it.
Let us take the next 4+ working days to:-
1. Hand over patients.
2. Engage with Traditional/Religious/Community Leaders.
3. Engage the Nigerian Public and Press/Media
4. Countdown to our Strike Action.
5. Pray for our dear Country, Nigeria.
6. And, Hold our respective Congresses in compliance with NEC directives.
Let me make this call and appeal to all NARDites. Trust the process, believe in your leaders, engage with your leaders and remain resolute, don’t despair or loose hope. Count on the resolve of this NOC to get results.
Victory is certain.
If you have any blame to throw around, throw it on me as your President. If you have any praise to sing, sing it for all NARDites.
Engage with your Centre Leaders on the details of the NEC resolutions. A lot was discussed in 5 hours.
The Communique and Press Conference detailing this declaration and our demands shall be made available ASAP.
We make this solemn pledge that the NOC will be answerable only to the NEC of NARD.
On behalf of the NOC, I thank you for your patience and perseverance.
Yours in Service
Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
NARD President
