From ASUU
CALLING OFF THE STRIKE CAN BE A STEP
FORWARD, BUT THAT IS DEFINATELY TWO
STEPS BACKWARD....
Hence my dear students If there is no
struggle, there is no strength in other words
no progress.” WE MUST KEEP ON THE
STRUGGLE # TOGETHER

kommiejewel:
Which kind yeye struggle?; struggle dat will enrich lecturers' pockets more than it will benefit d students
struggle dat will delay d actualisation of our careers e.t.c
@op,nice thread. I wish dat brainless ASUU chaiman;gay or wateva his name is will read dis. .mmtccheeww. . .

Law-confessor:
Doubt d law school stuff, my younger sis left for law school(Bayelsa) on sunday.

Reptyle: The longer this strike lasts, the less likely it is for ASUU to agree to anything less than the FULL IMPLEMENTATION of the 2009 agreement. It would make absolutely no sense for them to have held on for 4 months with all of the disruptive effects to our educational system, only to accept some watery and half-hearted commitment from the FG to a phased-out implementation of the agreement over the next few years.

If ASUU concedes to anything less than 80% acceptance of their demands by the FG, I will personally spend my hard earned resources in mobilizing students to lynch ASUU members the next time they attempt to embark on a strike over the poor or non-implementation of the 2009 agreement.

I think it is time we bite the bullet and get this intractable issue with our tertiary educational system sorted once and for all.

It is such a shame that the students who would most benefit from a victory for ASUU in this matter have mostly allowed themselves to be be swayed by the FG's propaganda rather than stand with ASUU. Rather than NANS becoming the mouthpiece of government propaganda, it should be seen demanding for a full implementation of aspects of the agreement especially as it has to do with the infrastructural development of our universities.

afroxyz: What is worst than churning out half-baked students? If the govt invested in education, ASUU wld not go on strike in the first place and the best brains would be retained in the educational sector, not the present crop of charlatans parading themselves as lecturers. Yes I understand the students feel the pain, but I think its selfish for them to shout for the strike to end just because they want to graduate only for ASUU to embark on another strike in the future. It also shows the decadence in the society. Why not use this period to learn a skill that would not make you a job-seeker when you graduate? If it was tompolo that threatened to blow up an oil well, govt would have met his demand immediately. I support the strike. The only language govt understands is force. For things to get better, a sacrifice must be made.w

Abel's concept:
Nice post anyway @op. you said no sentiments, but I smell and sense sentiment. I know it is affecting you (just like me). But do not forget the same agree was reach in 2009, only for the FG to fail in their promise despite the removal of oil subsidy. Who is fooling who? How much is ASUU asking for, compared to the looting going on everyday in FG. Agreed these lecturers are greedy but not as much as those political kleptomanias in the FG. The striking lecturers are fighting for the share of the national cake and rightly so (they have right or don't they), however, at the detriment and expense of the students (abi no bi wen to elephant dey fight no bi grass dey suffer am ).

Do not forget they are fighting partially for you as well. They want the FG to fund the educational system which is decaying at a rapid pace. A system consistently producing substandard and half baked students. What a pity! . Who do you blame the FG or ASUU?

My answer is you! Yes you (student). Am among too. When do we stand and fight for our right and rightly so? When do we say enough is enough? FG or ASUU, they are birds of the same feather. They're so corrupt! Yes corruption. A cankerworm that has eaten deep into the nations conscience. What a shame!

Do not join them in corruption. A wind will soon blow to wipe them away.

Note: I acknowledge some good ones though, but they're very few.

GustavoFring: Privatise all public universities.

That is the only tenable solution.

How is it that none of the public universities we have are self sustaining?

Emzybrown: op looooool you must be dreaming, i have actually studied 2 sessions under one year, we study for one month and write exams till we complete 2 sessions under one year. That was when south east state universities were on strike for 6months after 3 months national strike.

Oko_AGB:

Story. If they (FG) had been honest in d past, ASUU wouldn't be on strike now. There is no trusting dem anymore.
