It's no longer news that ASUU declared a strike on February 14, while hoping to get rapid action from the government.

The union is always focused on using yearly strikes to attack the government & the educational system.

The union is also known for using government flaws to gather public sympathy. They have however shown that they have no sympathy for their beloved students by not calling off strike since the government met over 60% of their demands!


The union has always slammed the government for how they spend money on other irrelevant things, rather than channeling the money at them!

For example, the union recently slammed the government for increasing tour allowance for politicians by over 50%

Although the union keeps trying to get public sympathy, we all know ASUU is greedy and selfish with its demands. But they have no right to question how the government spends money.

For example, we've heard the union push for 180% of salary increments, amongst other ridiculous demands. That means a lecturer earning #100k will start receiving #280k

They want to receive the same salary as politicians but don't have the balls to pursue political ambitions.

Someone said "most politicians can't sleep with their two eyes closed because of fear of the unknown"

Someone also highlighted the difference in numbers between politicians and university lecturers. For example, three universities may have more civil servants compared to the total number of prime ministers, and perm secretaries.

Is it then fair to compare how the government increases its earned allowances?

While some lecturers are agitating about the need to go on tours, most people kicked against the idea.

Someone said "Stop eying the living standards of politicians,
If you want money quit your job and join politics.

There are no civil servants in Nigeria that are more privileged than university lecturers."

While some people added that the union's envious natures towards politicians will get them nowhere, he advises them to quit the teaching Profession and joins politics so that they will earn money like them.

While majority calls for the dissolution of the union since they have done more harm than good to the educational sector with their yearly strikes!

ASUU keep forgetting that university lecturers are never on the same level as the government, and as such, they have no right to compare how the government spends its earnings.

The union has no business with how the government carries out its daily activities such as sponsoring neighborhood countries, increasing its allowance, etc.

It is best to also remind the union that:
(I) There are other civil servants with poorer working conditions and salaries. Yet we don't see them going on yearly strikes
(II) The government pays ASUU members, and not the other way around.
(III) ASUU president is not a god that should be worshipped, and the government can choose to fire him and render him jobless tomorrow.
(IV) The government can choose to order compulsory resumption, while defiant lecturers stand a 90% chance of losing their jobs

The (III) & (IV) points above show that the government isn't as bad as everyone thinks.


(V) They only get paid for services rendered: A major reason why the "No Work, No Pay" policy is "Legal".

The union is accustomed to using the key point "They don't care, because their children don't school here" to gather public sympathy and slam the government whereas the union has been unreasonable with its frivolous demands since day 1.

It is fair to also say that most ASUU members don't care about how long the strike lasts because the majority of their children are in private universities or abroad.


Meanwhile, the newly elected NANS president keeps making waves about how he's going to end the strike. Someone should ask how much he has in his account before anything.

You said the right thing.

Both the ASUU and federal govenment are high on Tinubu's drugs

ASSU and FG are hardened criminals. They didn't even wink at students side.

(II) The government pays ASUU members, and not the other way around.
(III) ASUU president is not a god that should be worshipped, and the government can choose to fire him and render him jobless tomorrow.
(IV) The government can choose to order compulsory resumption, while defiant lecturers stand a 90% chance of losing their jobs

This is the only solution.

That is the bane of the problem. ASUU are always quick to compare themselves with the politicians forgetting that academic is strictly different from politics. ASUU should not mix academic and politics together. Is either you are an academician or a politician. Moreover, most of these politicians are already wealthy before venturing into politics.
