let us assume that the federal government (FG) is the reason for the
prolonged industrial strike action whose negotiations has always ended
in a deadlock.
Let us assume that the FG is nonchalant, recalcitrant, disingenuous,
retrogressive and obdurate; no doubt. Let us assume that the FG does
not 'give a damn' about the crumbling education system in Nigeria.
…and conclusively, let us assume that the FG has gone haywire. Now, my
million-dollar question is this; "is it wise for ASUU to go mad too,
together with the FG on this issue by continuing the on-going strike,
thereby assisting them (FG) to dig a deeper grave for the epileptic
education system in Nigeria?"
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone! I rest my case.
And since when mR pro did strike action become madness? D real question should have been why are the students seating at home and waiting for asuu to fight for them. Its just overbearing of the asuu to fight for Us.
ReplyDeleteASUU is the main cause of the decay in the education sector. Nigerian universities get the highest funding in africa yet they are far from the best in africa. What about the IGR of the universities? What about the imposition of half-baked textbooks on students? What about the lecturers doing two or three lecturing jobs? How come all they do is teach what they were taught, they don't research, they don't add value to the society, how many of them have been able to register a patent. The problem is that most of them joined the universities because of money and not passion to add knowledge. In simple tense. If you don't like a job working condition, please resign.
ReplyDeleteU really need to b advised. No sense of scholarship at all!
Deleteasuu is jux wicked & stubborn bt tank God 4 no work no pay policy. Lets see how long they can sustain...! Bet me, shame will b their cloth
ReplyDeleteHmmm you seem to rely on an bogus mode of payment recognised only in the official gazette of our beloved nation. That remuneration basis is facade it doesn't apply in d real world. Lecturers got paid lump sum the last time I.e for the 4 months strike or so in 2009. And like one of the many lecturers in my department said this is a period to even earn more through fellowship and research at local and foreign institutions. The real question I am reiterating is why are students seating at home. Seating here meaning lying down
DeleteAnonymous 8:30am ur arguments are unfounded..... Asuu struggle isn't madness let's not be heretic. If u call it madness den one mad person will v to give way for d other and bet me, asuu will nt bend for fg. Its our struggle too. Students in fct are going on a month rag day to raise funds and all we in the east knw hw to do is argue and relax. In dis case I wish I were an egyptian..
ReplyDeleteAsuu is fighting for just cause. The fight is towards putting the academic community in order.
ReplyDeleteFGN is very nonchalant on this matter. the agreement btw Asuu and FGN should be honored. Ghana experienced a 2 years back off b4 d change in its education sector. I advice Nigerian students to find something to keep themselves busy. I cant afford to continue receiving lectures under d trees in the faculty of edu of unizik. our faculty building has been stagnant for years now. Asuu is fighting for a just cause.
I av heard some anonymous view but it goes without gain saying that evils that men do live and trail them. Not that I am bragging about my school or anything but sale or compulsion of hand outs isn't our experience and the I can mention a bulk of my lecturers who have international acclaimed impact. They didn't tell us we but we knew we were privileged to have them.they taught with so much vigor that one could av easily assumed teaching was only wat they do.but believe me type this name on google and see the answer Sessay ahmadu,charles ukeje,funso adesola,okwechime iwebunor,akin iwilade to mention but four in just my department at OAU ife. The truth is let Fg pay what need be paid and see to proper utilization of this resources. This is not to say that there aren't however some no good lecturers but the good ones far supercede the bad eggs. You can tell from the massive amount of public university lecturers who hold per time appointment at this acclaimed private universities.
ReplyDeleteIs dis d million dollar question? P.R.O, no dey hype rubbish hia abeg! Students shud jst stop being myopic and shallow-minded. D FG shud start by selling dose 250million ammoured cars dia minister jst bought. Maybe after dat, dey can tell ASUU dia's no money!
ReplyDeleteU guys should take it easy..I believe nigeria dosnt have dat kind of money dats y tins are lyk dis...throughout de whole world..no government has fuffliied de full labour party reqquest..we all are of de same ally n de propaganda given to us atimes is nt always correct..we students knws dat dis is above us n so all we have to do is to pray..cos we can't just start fighting..mothers have protest..even de sultan stil there is no change..tins wil one day change to beta.
ReplyDeleteAm happy majority of the students now undstnds d true position of things. Fg pls pay asuu. My question is this; many students of other institutions voice has been heard what do we do to make ourselves heard and join our voices among the numerous voices shouting. Let's be heard.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner we all realise that ASUU is fighting to sanitise the education system, the better for us all
ReplyDeletePlease lets be be realistic. Who is sanitizing who. ASUU is a very currupt body on its own. The way I see it No one is fighting FG is relaxed. Every Nigerian system is currupt starting from the association of Lecturers
