Many have chosen not to air their opinion and grievances over the
protracted ASUU strike but that doesnt mean they are not concerned over the choatic situation which has...
already beclouded our university
system. Perhaps i may be one of those Nigerians who have remained mute
but greatly worried about the strike. It is very appalling that all
the negotiations towards ending the strike have proved abortic and
ended in a deadlock. It is a proven
and well researched fact that the major challenge facing our country
Nigeria is Over-Population, it may also interest us to know that a
well derived statistical analysis shows that 75% of Nigeria's national
budget is used for payment of salaries, gratuities and pensions,
thereby leaving just 25% of the national budget to catter for
developmental and infrastructural projects in all the sectors of the
nation, this is very pitiable. I also want to use this opportunity to
thank ASUU for their struggles in previous years which is the reason
why we have the little infrastructures and facilities in our
universities today. I will not fail to thank the presidency and its
working executives in their efforts towards tackling the challenges
facing our country Nigeria. In as much as i know that it is not easy
to govern and put every sector under proper control in a multi-farous
nation as Nigeria, i also know that "To whom much is given, much is
expected". It is a shame that None
of the Nigeria's universities is ranked among the best 1000
universities in the whole world. Shame to ASUU, for not carrying out
academic research and not guiding Nigerian students properly in the
new global scheme of Knowledge. Greater shame to Federal government
for structural and facility decay and for not providing a condusive
environment for the activity of teaching and learning in Nigeria's
Universities. For that which is Right to remain right, that
which is Wrong must remain wrong: therefore two wrongs cannever make a
Right. ASUU may be Right in their agitation for the implementation of
2009 FG- ASUU agreement, but their insistence and policy of No
Shifting Ground is outrightly Laughable and grossly Irrational.
ASUU's policy of no shifting ground would do nothing but collaps
Nigeria's university system which is already in shambles. FG now
sees ASUU's insistence as a game of " I Challenge You To Take One
Post" to the present administration. I think if Asuu continue with
their irrational insistence, the FG would have no choice but to
promulgate a wicked law that will Outlaw ASUU as a union, and if that
becomes the case Asuu would nolonger have a platform for subsequent
struggles and agitations. If Asuu ends the ongoing strike today, one
would agree with me that it is not a failed strike because 130 billion
naira is not what u can pick on the road while walking down the
streets of Lagos or Abuja. Asuu has 130 billion onground as the
proceed of the strike and FG has promised 200 billion in 2014 fiscal
budget for universities, so Asuu has already achieved alot through the
strike. It is on this ground that i want to re-emphasize that "He who
fights and run away lives to fight another day". On
behalf of all the Nigerian students and well meaning Nigerians i
pleading to ASUU to call off the protracted strike and save our
university education. Long Live Nigerian Students! Long Live ASUU !!
Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria !!! .
So ur point exactly???? Your write-up was quite good but was ruined by some grammatical blunders....in recent years, ASUU shifted ground and what happened, the FG still failed to impllement the agreement. Yes I'm very aware that no govt has been able to completely satisfy the demands of labour and I must remind you that this money will go to all the Federal and State Universities in Nigeria and not ASUU. There won't be stalemate if the FG could just honour their agreement

ReplyDeleteYes i agree with u, it's high time Asuu members made use of their reasons as intellectuals of our nation instead of allowing low class politicians in the opposition party to used them as instrument of national embarrasment and chaos. Nice one my Comrade, dont mind that Bush Goat in black and white (philip okiche) who lacks common sense of reason. I wonder how he is coping in Law faculty, perhaps he is just seeking media relevance, but he doesn't have any surname in Unizik.
ReplyDelete@philip, i pity u......jealousy.....who even dash u law self....nay ur type go read law finish, turn to a charge nd bail lawyer....nice write up bro
ReplyDeleteSee beef dey smell here oooo...#alinko
ReplyDeleteI tink it's high time ASUU called off dis strike since Nigerian undergraduates don't even realise d fight is for dem. If an undergraduate does nt knw d value of standard education, den Jonathan and co are excusable. As for d SUG official... I'm nt surprised dis is wat u could come up with. Wat surprises me is y we keep expecting somtin beta frm our SUG. Som1 shud go and check out University of Ghana and den come bk here to say rubbish and it'll b 4given.
ReplyDeleteLwkmd...@philip pele oo.Nice write up bro!
ReplyDelete@ anonymous 3: 06 pm. U are such a coward for not commenting with ur name. How dare u compare Nigeria with small Ghana ? Ghana is not up to 4 states in Nigeria. Ghana has only 2 government own institution while Nigeria has more than 70, Nigeria is bigger than ghana both in population and geographical territory. So what is ur basis for comparism between the 2 countries ?. The writter stated above that the major challenge Nigeria has is over-population and its multifarous nature. I hate it when people who have objectivity of reason are to talking and # Lout # like u with Myopic and childish reasoning will intrude ur cowardice self. Be warned.
ReplyDeleteTo whom much is given, much is expected bro, hasn't it occured to u dat since Nigeria has more population and land mass dat dey also have greater revenue? Or are u saying ghana is richer dan Nigeria? Bro tink twice b4 raining abuses on anybody. I no blame u sha.
DeleteSo I take it that you guys want ASUU to just call off the strike and then we can go back to the decay and rot in our Education system. I don't think so....Until every undergraduate realises that ASUU is fighting for a greater cause, then Nigeria would continue to be backwards...
ReplyDeleteLike I've said for the upteenth time, I don't want this situation where the Universities keep churning out unemployable graduates. I will continue to express my critique until I see a change. Criticism only makes one better.
ReplyDeleteSome ar destinyd 2 lv n poor nd unconducive infrastructures datx y dy ar agnst d strike.Some students ar jus funi.Do u tnk dat dat moni z going 2 asuu.My dear tx gng directly 2 d skuls nd tz left 2 d govng counsel f d uni 2 award d contracts using d moni whc wuld b supervised by govt. officials.So my dear asuu aint fytng 4 dia pocket bt 4 us..
