Education is seen as the process of acquiring knowledge and skills which add value to one's life and the society at large. Without education, one is as good as useless and a potential threat to the society.

However, the Nigerian leaders are skeptical about this fact and see education as a burden on their treasury and a waste of time because of their vicious belief that what their academic institutions produce are half baked graduates that contribute nothing to the growth of the economy of the nation. But the only way they can redeem this is by sending their own children to school abroad while millions of Nigerians are locked away from school.

The university teachers under the ASUU union have been on strike since November 4th, 2018 and the strike looks nowhere near its end. The union and the Federal government of Nigeria have engaged in 8 meetings so far in an attempt to end the strike and get the frustrated students back to their various school but the meetings have been unproductive while the two parties themselves look confused and clueless as to the right thing to do in order to put an end the industrial action. After each meeting, the government delegation led by minister of labour and employment, Dr. Chris Ngige and that of the union led by the union president, prof. Biodun Ogunyemi always give account of conflicting out comes and we can't help but wonder if they always go to the same meeting. The minister would say a certain amount is released to address the demands of the striking union while the union leader would either deny the claim or say something different altogether. This has been the custom of their meetings and we are headed in no specific direction. The fight seems to be a battle of supremacy and who has the batter degree in cruelty.

Education, they say, is a right and not a privilege but this is completely frozen in Nigeria. We feel unfairly treated because we don't have access to schools abroad or private universities in Nigeria like their children and they deprive us of what is left for us in our public schools.

The seemingly cruel government decided to spend hefty amount of money on absurd projects which have no bearing on positive impact on the well being of the nation and deliberately turned blind eyes to the sinking nation. Their concern and intention is not to rescue Nigeria and her collapsing education system but how to satisfy their selfish interest. The universities have been shut down for three months now but their priorities are their political campaigns and how to retain their place in the government and inflict more pains on the citizens. They have refused to fund our universities because our campuses are not cattle ranches.

Our dear teachers claim they are fighting in our interest but the struggle is mainly selfish. They have not explored other options for pressing home their demand and their ultimate weapon has been keeping us away from school since time immemorial. We could have understood very well how resolute they are in this struggle if they were not on salary during this period of the strike. They are as bad as the people in the government except with a couple of degrees below. Even if the government releases the money you don't get to see defined impact on our schools. The largest portion goes to their pockets while the left over is sprinkled on our schools. This is let alone the severe hardship the students will have to go through when the strike is eventually suspended because the lecturers will be in a hurry to cover the academic work in little time.

Our last hope in the name of national association of Nigerian students(NANS) has gone rogue and useless to the grieving students. Our leaders have fail to stand up to their responsibilities and when the union was given a chance to meet the president of the country, the sane thing the NANS president could do was promise Mr. President 20 million votes.

We have lost hope and only God knows how long our stay at home will last. Our cries have fallen on deaf ears and the talk of the town is who wins the forthcoming presidential election.

Who will rescue us?

You will never succeed at selling Nigeria. FeBuhari is for Buhari. But if you want to visit Daura so bad, you’re free to explore.

Only ATIKU can restore the Educational sector in our country

God punish Federal Government

God punish all ASUU members, punish their children that are schooling in abroad and in private universities.

Bunch of self centered people.

What ever you all sowed same shall you people reap.

A state of emergency needs to be declared on the educational sector, but we currently have to many illiterates in govt

Reason why we all need to join hands together to remove the incompetent, greedy and selfish leaders we have in this country.

Any Nigerian student that wants to vote for illiterate Buhari, Holy Ghost............ Fire!

Exactly
They are getting paid for doing nothing

If only the leaders will do the right thing
