A nation’s health is only as strong as its doctors.
When doctors break, patients suffer. When hospitals fail, lives are lost.

Because only a healthy doctor can heal a sick nation.

[Dr Mohammad Usman Suleiman @mohagirei]

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

In 2012, no Nigerian Doctor could enter Residency without writing and passing their Primaries.

Today, Residency slots are empty EVEN THOUGH many no longer require you to write Primaries.

What’s worse, Interns and Medical House Officers are dropping out of practice.

People have lost faith in clinical practice here in Nigeria, venturing into practice elsewhere or other businesses entirely.

We are in CRISIS! And we are still here debating about the welfare of our Doctors.

[Dr. Olawale Ogunlana @doctorwalesmd]

You see this NARD strike, Doctors will win the war of opinion on social media.

I’ve made it a point of duty to ensure that my platform will share the truth to a reasonable end.

Any propaganda against the purpose of the strike will fail before it starts.

I full ground.

[Dr. Baridueh Badon @BadonB]

13 years ago, house officers could afford a corolla after internship.

Today, Consultant cant afford keke napep comfortably!
@nard_nigeria, strike until all demands are met!

You got your 1st degree in computer science from UNIBEN, a federally subsidized varsity.

Why aren't you advocating for Nigerian-trained computer scientists like yourself to be held bound for 20+ years before japa-ing?

The audacity of your uncleanable foolishness is intriguing.

This our NARD president >>>>>>>>. He has a follow-come and admirable strength, warmth, and charisma that one can not miss.
We are solidly behind you and your team, sir @mohagirei. Thank you once again, and thank future times when the lounge will call and you'll answer.

A PASSIONATE CALL TO ALL NIGERIANS TO STAND WITH NARD

Fellow Nigerians!

Warm greetings from the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

We wish to address you at this critical time as we embark on a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike, a decision that did not come lightly, nor was it ever our desire. We are fully aware of the pains and inconveniences that accompany any disruption in healthcare services, and we deeply regret the situation.

However, this action has become inevitable, following the repeated failure of the Federal Government of Nigeria to honor its promises and implement the agreements reached with us after several rounds of dialogue, appeals, and ultimata.

Our demands are not selfish, neither are they politically motivated. They are genuine, germane, and patriotic, centered on the survival of the Nigerian health system and the well-being of every citizen who depends on it.

We fight not for personal gain, but for the creation of a system that allows resident doctors to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to patients in an environment that supports their mental and physical well-being. A resident doctor who is overworked, underpaid, and mentally exhausted cannot offer optimal care to the patient who needs them most.

Our demands include issues of excessive workload, fair remuneration, payment of arrears, improvement of working conditions, adequate staffing, and the provision of essential medical infrastructure, all of which directly impact the quality of healthcare delivered to Nigerians.

A nation’s health system can only be as strong as the hands that sustain it. If resident doctors are broken, under-motivated, or forced to seek survival abroad, the patients suffer most. This is why we have taken this painful stand to secure the future of Nigerian healthcare for every man, woman, and child who deserves quality care here at home.

We therefore call on all Nigerians; our patients, civil society groups, labour unions, religious and traditional leaders, and every citizen of conscience, to stand with us. Add your voices to ours in appealing to the Federal Government to do the right thing.

This is not a fight between resident doctors and government; it is a struggle for a functional, just, and humane healthcare system, one where your doctor can attend to you with a clear mind, a motivated spirit, and access to the tools needed to save lives.

Together, we can rebuild a system that values both the caregiver and the cared-for. We appeal to you to weigh in and urge the Government to address our demands urgently, so that hospitals can reopen, resident doctors can return to their duty posts, and Nigerians can once again access the care they deserve.

We always stand with you, and now we ask you to stand with us in solidarity and service to humanity.

Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
President, Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)

@Bashir_GS @PrimeReportersn @woye1 This assertion is not correct, sir. Appointments and promotions are celebrated everywhere, including the US Army

[Kunle @Soulmedika]

All I can tell you is that, there has been several strikes by the BMA and another imminent strike in few weeks, I have never seen a UK doctor publicly raise issues to challenge the demands of BMA as unrealistic or in anyway undermine their efforts at pay restoration.

There is nothing Doctors and HCW in Nigeria are asking for that they do not deserve! Nothing!

If we must manage resources, communicate that to the Politicians! They are the one wasting our sovereign wealth, the Doctors are only asking for what is fair.

If your analysis or input is not helping their course, why project it now?

[Dr. Shak🩺 @realbig_shak]

I have come to the realization that the greatest enemies of doctors are doctors themselves. An association of doctors is fighting for its basic rights, yet the strongest and earliest opposition is coming from fellow doctors.

The strike hasn’t even started, but some are already speaking for the government, defending why doctors’ demands may never be met.

Our detractors are already laughing at us, and rightly so. This is embarrassing. Highly embarrassing.

[Ameh Itodo MD @doctor_ameh]

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.
