Retirement ‘kill’ you there as we say it in Shomolu. So, in all this wahala, the solution you and your advisers can develop is to increase the retirement age of charlatans from 60 to 65. People at their prime who do not seem to know their left from their right and who are living corpses on the ground should now be given an extension of tenor? To do what oh, Mr white beard-beard.
The simple solution is the robust and outright restructuring of the value chain from training to monitoring and regulation, practice, welfare and recertification and definitely not increasing the retirement age. I have taken the fight to the whole medical community with the premise that as Peju died, it is not the Premier Hospital that everybody is shouting now that should be blamed.
It is the whole nine yards, from the health minister down to the hospital janitor. You will not single out one entity and say because she died here, then let’s deal with that hospital and go to bed. The one who died at Mowe nko? The one who died at Ngwa and Ilorin nko? What about the one that got blinded in Kaduna nko? Me, I am taking a holistic look at the thing. The whole community is leprous.
A simple solution can only come from a total overhaul: withdraw all their licences immediately, and let’s recertify them. For now, we do not know who is a quack or who is not. From Peju’s narrative, even the herbalist at Awoseyin Street in Shomolu who heals broken bones will not be so clueless and then come and add arrogance to the matter after collecting millions. Ngige, please let’s get serious.
