Not content with attempting to hold the nation to ransom via their several months long strike, or perhaps miffed by their so far questionable results in their Campaign of Dishonor, the members of JOHESU have now taken to physically attacking doctors who report for duty at government hospitals.
Doctors are not JOHESU members and so are not on strike. JOHESU can attempt to pull its "considerable weight" without physically attacking doctors who, as noble citizens, go about their professional duties. The actions of JOHESU in this regard are condemnable, ridiculous, and thoroughly lacking in propriety. Their resort to the strongarm tactics employed by hooligans and motor park touts gives every discerning Nigerian a clear picture of what our hospitals will be like when such characters begin to manage them.
I believe there still exist a few honorable members of JOHESU. I believe I even know some. I expect them to publicly disassociate themselves and their association from that despicable move by their comrades. Otherwise, that move will go down in history as JOHESU's interpretation of how to go about a labor dispute. And, if the latter situation is true, then ordinary Nigerian citizens, who may themselves become patients at a government-owned health facility any day, have a lot to be apprehensive about.
