Sack letter over freedom of association @Nnamdi Azikiwe University
The House Officers say their decision to join was because of unaccountable deductions in salary and good working condition ...believing ARD would protect their interests. Aren't people free to join any association they want?...
They should face their problem themself...All I want now is a good sex in my ass
ReplyDeleteYou are just a tucking retard!!!
DeleteIdiat
Deleteguess u r high on water, na crawling maggot wey u go get for ur black yash
DeleteThat threat is an empty one...
ReplyDeleteRead on Some things the singles cannot see and the married are not telling them
The mgt has backed down on that threat. As at 4pm today, nothing was done to them. The National Association of Resident Doctors president and other well meaning elders in the profession prevailed on the mgt to see the foolishness of their action and they relented.
DeleteNow they have to pay them back all the illegal deductions from their salaries or face the wrath of ARD.
Aluta continua...
I admire the courage of these HOs.
DeleteDespite all the threats by d mgt (verbal, written & otherwise) they all stood their grounds even @ the risk of losing their jobs.
Now, mgt has shot itself in the leg because questions will be asked as to why the house officers, who before now, never wanted anything to do with the ARD are now clamouring to join the association.
How many house officers did you employ?
How many does the Fed Ministry of Health give you money to pay?
Why do you still need to cut their salaries each month to satisfy your insatiable greed?
These are the questions people.
The sooner we get EFCC into this matter, the better. Same goes for all you who embezzle govt money meant for your subordinates. Not only is God watching, nemesis is here!
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existenceis an act of rebellion
DeleteI wonder o... 9ja
ReplyDeleteThey r not Bc they r just interns. It's like an industrial attachee in she'll joining pengassan. Be guided in ur quest for freedom
DeleteDear Anon 3:26 pm, they are not just interns. They are human beings who have rights like you & me.
DeletePonder this. If your NYSC director (assuming you were a Corps member) decides to give you only 60% of your allowances every month, without explaining what happened to the rest, will you sit down and watch helplessly because you are only a corper?
What u do is mobilise your colleagues and agitate, peacefully. However, u need an umbrella to do that. That's where ARD comes in.
they r just interns,let alone ur comparism with IT students-oh!pls--wat a crap?they are certified doctors ,only practising other supervision ---be guided by the country's constitution,after all we are all under the law.
DeleteThose who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
DeleteFight on gallant ARD members!
What happened to democracy? This country self! Everything is changing too fast and we can not do anything about it
ReplyDeleteAbacha's offsprings! They're unveiling themselves now.whatever happened to freedom of association....
ReplyDeleteThe current CMD was a man of integrity, at least that was what people said about him. Barely one year in power, he no longer cares what happens to his reputation. Really sad.
DeleteThose who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
DeleteNa WA ohh! Lets me call my cousin and hear with my ear.
ReplyDeleteWas this the Ijeoma I know abi another one.. Miss cracked voice. Lol.
DeleteBoth of you are foolish in a trendy new way sha! Awon oponu!
DeleteWhat is wrong with our government? Is it that they force people to work when the working atmosphere is not conducive for them? The purpose of peaceful protest and strikes is to call the attention of government to a persistent issue they need to address, instead of them to address the issue, they are threatening to sack, rubbish
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Nigerian courts have cob webs inside because cases like this that should keep it busy dont go there. Go to court.
ReplyDelete700000000 likes. People know their rights but they don't want to exercise it judicially. Just knowing isn't enuf
DeleteWhy are the authorities afraid them joining the association,I guess its because of their unfriendly working conditions. Its time for them to take their destiny in their hands.
ReplyDeleteSame wat they stopped their lecturers from joining ASUU
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Bonario, always rushing to comment instead of improving your spellings... It' afraid about them, and Same way... I pity your lifestyle

We haven't come to the understanding of democracy in this part of the world. Long years of military rule have made us autocratic. They shud have freedom of association if it protects their rights. IAI
ReplyDeleteMakes no sense!
ReplyDeletethe management is threatened by the association
ReplyDeleteMeaning what?
ReplyDeleteNot making sense.
ReplyDeleteThe rector wants to intimidate them into submission so that he will continue to exploit them. They should not give in to the rector's empty treat.
ReplyDeleteThat's not proper na!
ReplyDeleteARD should step up and fight for d house officers after all dey deduct their dues from the house officers salary even without concent.when I was a officer it was rilli annoying to receive my salary and find out money has been drducted by an association u have little or no input in and in periods of ARD strick house officers are forced to go to work..imagine.yet the residents relax at home.....look there is more to this than the eyes see.
ReplyDeleteFor about 10 yrs now, house officers in NAUTH do not belong to the ARD as against what obtains in other centres in the country. By definition, any doctor below the rank of a consultant or its equivalent is essentially a member of the ARD.
DeleteAll through these years, they never paid any dues nor did they participate in any ARD activity. How could you make that thoughtless assertion?
The truth is that HOs in NAUTH have never felt the need to be part of the ARD until recently when the management conspired to be making outrageous deductions from their salaries from source, amounting to more than 1/3 of their monthly Salary in one fell swoop so that they could finance an award Ceremony for a departed Professor.
This prompted them to seek refuge in ARD where they knew their interest would be protected.
Get your facts correct, DOCTOR!
Empty threat!
ReplyDeleteEmpty threat.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I am sympathetic to the plight of the HOs who are mostly my friends and classmates, i'll advice they tread with caution because they are not allowed to be part of any association or take part in any industrial action as I'm sure is clearly stated in their employment letters. House job, internship is a one-year UNINTERRUPTED period of training in which the trainees are only entitled one month leave. No involvement in associations, no strikes. As much as they are aggrieved, they shouldn't go outside the tenets of their employment. Knowing NAUTH management and the helmsman which is the CMD, these kids may as well be flung out if they don't do as directed. I also think the ARD AND NMA in that hospital should step in and speak to the management on their behalf because anything they do contrary to the rules will be illegal and may cost them. The CMD should calm down too, na so so trouble full this him tenure!
ReplyDeleteHouse officers are still under training and just a year contract,not a permanent staff,Resident doctors also are on training and on contract basis but for a longer period than the HOs and they have right to an association but not HOs..the HOs should better face their training, learn the proffession first and serve their fatherland rather than thinking of association bullshit...mtchew...
ReplyDeleteNa wa oooooo
ReplyDeleteDey got an apptmnt leta nd I am sure it stated d terms of apptmnt ,salary nd duration.INauth is a federal institution nd nt private so mgt hv no choice dan t abide by d letter issued on apptmnt. Dey cant be sacked on acct of associatn!
ReplyDeleteNAUTH administrators r really funny oh.Sacking house officers cos of joining ARD.ARD is a union of house officers,Medical officers n residents.infact d only center dat d HOs don't belong to ARD is Nauth. Linda I heard dat previously Hos in Nauth r given an undertaken to sign dat dey wud not join ARD before their letters r given to dem.if u refuse to sign ur letter is revoked.I feel dey have hidden agenda n shud be probed and investigated
ReplyDeleteAre they not becoming autocratic for todays learning enviroment?
ReplyDeleteleave them
ReplyDeleteLinda its so kind of you to put up this story. This is one of the reasons why the healthcare in Nigeria isnt working. Tertiary hospitals are given the go ahead to employ house officers eg 200 in number each of whom FG gives the CMD 185k to pay them per month! They will employ like 100 house officers and receive allocation for 200! Then the 100 employed they ll now still cut their salary to like 140-150k a month and force them to swear an affidavit saying no matter what happens they ll never protest or go on strike! They ll just work as slaves and receive whatever they are given!
ReplyDeleteThis is the wickedness older doctors show the upcoming ones, this is why when a lot of you go to the hospitals you meet frustrated staff with a lackadaisical attitude leading to misdiagnosis and impatience with patients!
Please use this medium to call all these wicked old doctors to order, their cup is overflowing.
Make EFCC hunt them down like Orcs hunt dwarves.
Stealing peoples salary and expecting them to stay mute.
Actually house officers are not allowed to go on strike. In Luth, during your internship interview , they ask if you would go on strike. We all say no. House job is one year of slavery. Ard fights for you but you are not allowed to join in their strike.
ReplyDeleteActually Interns r nt allowed 2 join ARD and evn if dey do r nt allowed 2 go on strikes when ARD does. And dey sign contracts b4 dey start to dat effect. So, legally, d hospital management r in their rights. D interns shld b careful of wat dey do cos if dey lose dose jobs, dey shld nt think dat ARD wld stand up 4 dem.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice the grammatical errors on the letter signed by the CMD....i laugh at this country.
ReplyDeleteOnce u are a member of ARD whether resident or house officer if ARD is on strike you should also be on strike.
ReplyDeleteSome1 mentioned LUTH, well thats why a house officer lost his father in LUTH last year or so because he didn't have cash to pay LUTH and yet the same LUTH was owing him some months salary!!
I dont know why these CMDs like to constitute unscrupulous elements in society.
Why house officer salary to dey hungry them.
Like some1 said if EFCC probes them most if not all of them will end up in jail.
Dear bloggers, its not all the time that the 'perceived' underdog who cries out is right. Here are some facts so you can assess the situation. 1. House officers are not fully registered doctors - they are interns, in a supervised position for one year, sort of like industrial attachees, who have to undertake house job mandatorily before being fully registered to practice medicine by the medical and dental council. 2. On the other hand, resident doctors are postgraduate doctors undergoing specialist training, for a defined period of time. Their status, issues, conditions of employment, etc, are not similar. 3. House job MUST be for a complete 1 year (12 month) period. 4. After house job, the HO has to be signed off by the hospital and supervising consultants, including their competence, ethical conduct, academic capacity, etc. 5. If one set of HOs, don't complete house job, another set of new graduates from medical schools CANNOT be employed! 6. So, if they go on strike, what are the ramifications? Its also like students going on strike. 7. The ARD can still act to protect the HOs by exercising their own strengths. 8. However, the ARD also wants the HOs to be members as this increases the dues accruing to ARD.
ReplyDeletei hate d present administration.they also share light in d hosp.who is deceivin who.we wll b there wen his son wl bcom a Houseofficer.selfishness
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8.35pm,why is NAUTH case different or are u saying NAUTH is better dan other institutions.Every doctor knows u don't go on strike during housejob but dat doesn't mean u r not to be protected by ARD. Nauth is d only institution where d house officers r not ARD n dey belong to NMA dat doesn't protect dem cos the NMA chairman Nnewi Zone from wat I hear is also d DCMAC of Nauth Nnewi.so how does he protect d HOS wen it's in his best interest to agree wit d management.lets call a spade a spade.dont come here n talk crap cos we all know it's wrong.The Hos n resident doctors of Nauth need to stand up and fight the administrators.Nonsense
ReplyDeleteAll these people saying that House Officers shouldnt go on strike, quick question, "how should the house officers react when their ogas @ the top slash their salary?" Does management have the right to slash interns salary @ will?
ReplyDeleteSome replies here just go to show that Nigerian youth have been so oppressed to the extent that they dont even believe they have rights. Thats why the position of youth leader is given to grand fathers, thats why the nation is having a confab and the FG doesnt deem it fit to involve up to 50% as youth despite the that we are the future of this nation, yet them they pay people 4Million to sleep!
Linda abeg post my comment, I dey vex s all this kind things!
I think d federal government needs to investigate all d administrative heads of NAUTH.something is definitely wrong dere.why wud u make crazy deductions on pple's salary? The Hos n resident doctors pay more tax dan the Consultants who earn about 2 -3 X their salary n not just dat the residents r used to launder money for the administrators.We were paid our arrears in December n by Feb,d same pple that made d calculations came bak to claim we were overpaid by 80k n dat d money has to be deducted over 6mos.where is d 80k going? Of cos we all know it's entering the pocket of the CMD n his cohorts.residents were just used to launder money.EFCC n NLC needs to get involved n properly investigate NAUTH. Linda u can confirm my facts. I m saying the truth
ReplyDeleteAs the poster above said, the administrative heads should all be investigated... From the ridiculous amount of money quoted for substandard tarring of the hospital roads, to illegal deductions from house officers salaries (amounting to 1/3rd of their salaries) to overpaying résident doctors and later deducting it as a means of laundering money. I believe this is just a tip of the iceberg. At least the ones we know about.
Deletewhen farmers starts joining the fishermen's association, then you know something is fishy...It's called association of Resident doctors, not association of house officers...they should face their internship and stop letting their political heads manipulate them in making personal gains.
ReplyDeleteMr Gbenga, I'm sure if someone makes illegal deductions of up to 30% of your salary without your approval, you'll even join a secret cult to press for your rights. Put yourself in the shoes of these house officers. Don't just open your mouth and spew rubbish!
DeleteShut up Gbenga, what do you know about the issue @ stake?
DeleteI laugh at you all. Nigeria hates good Governance. The last Nauth administration over employed and over accepted students, the new administration is looking for ways of maintaining payment without sacking or withdrawing house officers. Anyway, join whichever association you wan join, abi you wan pass become doctor, I ga ata konkiri
ReplyDeleteNa your family ga-ata konkiri!
DeleteDo they use IGR to pay doctors?
Why do they corner what was meant for payment of salaries into their private purses?
The management hz apologised and all is now back to normal.. thank you
ReplyDeleteAll is not normal until they pay back all the illegal deductions from the house officers salaries...
DeleteHow, where, when did they apologies?
DeleteIn any case, they shd pay back all d money due 2 d house officers. Period!
This fight isn't over until these HOS are refunded every single dime that was illegally taken / deducted from their salaries.
ReplyDeleteThe fight has just begun.
Gbenga I think u shud be more informed b4 u come here n utter crap.ARD is for all doctors below Consultants ie Med officers,House officers and residents.the only doctors exempted are the NYSC doctors.pls get ur information right.Ignorance is no excuse.Besides which the House officers wrote to ARD cos of the oppression dey r undergoing by the Nauth Admin and NMA so nobody is manipulating anyone.get ur facts right.Nonsense
ReplyDeleteWho's ds so-called mgt?
ReplyDeleteTrue talk brother/sister.
ReplyDeleteSometime in 2013, HOs joined ARD strike and in some institutions were slammed with 3weeks extension or forfeiture of their leave which they served out to the fullest! I didn't see or hear ARD in those places making sure the HOs they co-opted into their association didn't serve that punishment, afterall, they all fought for a good course, didn't they?! Moral of the story?! Justice must be fought for and got for those illegal deductions BUT not in a way that the already maniacal management will see an axe to wield over the heads of my victimised friends and classmates. They don't have to be due-paying members of any association before their seniors who over enjoyed what they're now being blatantly denied, speak unequivocally on their behalf! They should tread carefully before these *bridge-burning* seniors(ARD and other not too trustworthy Co) lead them out and hang them to dry! Igwegbe nye umuazi imuru amu oke lutelu fa biko! Remember your own children are out there! KaChinekeMezieOkwu!
