Pregnancy is a product of acts of intimacy between a man and a woman nurtured to term to be delivered of a newborn. Liken this to the social contract between the leaders and the electorate and you wouldn’t be far from the truth. The leaders court the electorate like a pretty virgin seeking her hand in marriage with promises of hope, better living, fulfillment of dreams and fantasies. Election day represents the wedding day, when the electorate weds the leader of her choice. The leader nurtures this relationship by fulfilling the promises made during the election while in office. If within the marriage (social contract with the electorate),the leader fails in his duties, the bride reserves the right to divorce him, refuse him further rights to be her leader. For everything under the sun, a time and a season is appointed. Today we are at another verge of history with our blogosphere daily updated with articles and pictures of our members who wish to lead us within the coming year. It ...

The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) hereby draws the attention of the Medical and Dental practitioners, their employers, stakeholders and the general public to its publication on the above subject in the Guardian and Daily Trust Newspapers of 10th November 2014, and reminds all, of the following information as contained in the said publication: The Council notes with concern the trend among practitioners whereby persons in full time employment of the public service engage in full-fledged private practice.

Registered medical and dental practitioners and members of the public are hereby called to note that the MDCN has made Rules on the conduct of medical and dental practitioners in full employment in the public s...

It is no longer news that Nigeria Labour Congress( NLC) and the Trade Union Congress(TUC), have given the federal government a  21-day ultimatum to reverse the reinstatement of the embattled medical director ( MD) of the Federal Medical Centre( FMC ) Owerri,Dr (Mrs) Angela Uwakwem . I want to notify Nigerians that it is only the members of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) in FMC Owerri that are opposing the reinstatement of the MD and that the national president,Mr Ayubba Wabba, of one of the two  factions of the NLC that gave that ultimatum is a member of JOHESU. It was the same JOHESU members that raise a false alarm against the MD when she blocked the loopholes through which they embezzle hospitals funds . I want Nigerians to ask the members of JOHESU why they do not want the reinstatement of the embattled MD. A cursory look at FMC Owerri will show that the presence of the embattled MD is a threat to some unscrupulous workers who live above their incomes...

When the immediate past British prime minister described Nigerians as being ‘fantastically corrupt,’ something must have informed that description. Nigeria is a country where a civil servant l Ives above his income and is still not in debt. This is a country where the educated l ive at the mercy of the uneducated or 'half-educatèd '   who manage to occupy certain posts. The Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owerri has been in the news for about two years now for no other reason than some cabals in the hospital felt threatened by the presence of the embattled medical director . Why is everybody against t he medical director of the hospital? Significant number of workers in the hospital does not want the reinstatement of Dr (Mrs) Angela Uwakwem for no other reason than what they called administrative highhandedness. I am aware that friends and colleagues will definitely be surprised why I always publish articles to defend this woman of valour. Since this matter started, I ha...
