It’s still strike season in Nigeria. At last count, ASUU, Doctors and now health workers have embarked on (or will begin) strike actions. In other words, our education and health sectors have been effectively crippled.

Some persons have criticized the use of strike actions to get the Federal Government to listen the the grieving bodies demands, so here’s explaining in detail why Resident Doctors had to strike.

See below:

RESIDENT DOCTORS STRIKE.
Small THREAD.

A resident Doctor is a doctor that is in the process of receiving training to become a specialist.

This is the situation of resident doctors in over 20 federal institutions.

It's a miracle that they are still going to work. Saving lives.
All the while, thinking of how to feed their children

Do you even feel comfortable being managed by doctors that are under this kind of psychological trauma?

— Guy Fawkes (@Moyjo) September 8, 2017

It is the public that are supposed to protest this unfair treatment.
Because all our lives are at risk!

Reactions:

Isn't "Resident" simply to say they live at the premises where they work?

Not a misnomer.
In the early days of teaching hospitals, Resident Doctors were trainees who lived in the hospital. Literally.
