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:

It's a miracle that they are still going to work. Saving lives.
All the while, thinking of how to feed their children— R! (@Moyjo) September 8, 2017
Do you even feel comfortable being managed by doctors that are under this kind of psychological trauma?

It is the public that are supposed to protest this unfair treatment.
Because all our lives are at risk!— R! (@Moyjo) September 8, 2017

Not a misnomer.
In the early days of teaching hospitals, Resident Doctors were trainees who lived in the hospital. Literally.— Lamide (@RevDrCraig) September 9, 2017
