we are going to provide counseling, guidance and counseling before

64
00:04:04,199 –> 00:04:08,319
they are reintegrated back into the society. We may assume

65
00:04:08,400 –> 00:04:11,639
that they are not going through any trauma because they

66
00:04:11,639 –> 00:04:15,280
are looking very unhealthy, but we believe that they require

67
00:04:15,319 –> 00:04:19,600
a kind of guidance, particularly counseling that will make them

68
00:04:19,680 –> 00:04:22,759

173
00:11:19,559 –> 00:11:23,919
the medical association said get ready. We may all need

174
00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:29,919
to tender our resignation letters if no good response from government. Nigeria,

twenty six doctors and doctors in training are kidnapped and

176
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:38,559
the wills keep turning without a pause. Everyone keeps turning

177
00:11:38,679 –> 00:11:43,559
up at work on bordered, no strike warning, no strong stance,

178
00:11:43,919 –> 00:11:47,559
two weeks, an ard warning moved by another two weeks

179
00:11:47,960 –> 00:11:53,080
with a silly excuse. NMA is quiet like a mouse law,

180
00:11:53,639 –> 00:11:57,120
just spineless letters and photo ops that no one gives

and conditions. If a culture that typically avoids confrontations still

196
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:08,919
rises up, what is the excuse of a more resilient culture?

197
00:13:09,000 –> 00:13:12,960
Who are descendants of pairs warriors? It is shameful. It

198
00:13:13,080 –> 00:13:17,000
is embarrassing. Our twenty one colleagues are human beings like
