But Nigerians no get truth for mouth.Let's see these!

And it is true- I c no reason why state uni will b on strike.

Season 4 Episode 2....

Then why state unis are also on strike? Nawao nija

I have also wondered since the commencement of this strike why state varsities are also at home... maybe due to one of the demand asking FG to give assistance fund to state varsities. All thesame, they have failed to realize that they could capitalize on this ASUU strike to increase the traffic in state schools if they had not gone banana with ASUU.
