ASUU is right on IPPIS because it can't capture lecturers peculiarities. If it can ASUU will embrace the imported software.Besides IPPIS, why should FG owe earned academic allowances for more than 5 years? Why will FG refuse to fund education properly and default on signed agreement?

I don't even care about ippis, I'm just frustrated with the government that would rather allow ASUU to be on strike for this long, even when millions of youth are at home due to that.

ASUU is at fault, but the federal government is like an enabler, ASUU is on strike because of the FG.

both are useless.

MuhMubRaj:


You must be an ASUU strong man or relative of an ASUU strongman. All sectors of the economy infrastructure, security, agriculture, housing et all except the political offices are underfunded and if they were all to go on strike for 8 Months or resort to using ASUU Tactics of force things will not be good for all of us.It is apparent that president buharis government doesn't prioritize education, ASUU Members should get voters card and vote a president that prioritises education. ASUU should brainstorm and come up with better ideas they have the brightest mind in the country, This strike approach has never worked for them.

I'm not an ASUU strong man, I'm not even related to any lecturer, that I know of anyway. I'm a frustrated student that is as tired as anyone can get.


I agree ASUU need to rework their strategy, the strike really hasn't work for them. What I was just telling the other guy is, if federal government still don't pay them, they would still go on another strike.

the picture below is a screenshot from my class' WhatsApp group, We've been in 500 level since 2019... we should be preparing for NYSC now, but still an undergrad, so I'm frustrated too, I'm just more angry at the Federal government than at ASUU.

Incognito403:

No one is targeting ASUU more. They're trying to play the victim card which is a big lie.

you're targeting ASUU right now, and leaving the federal government.

they ARE the victims, they are owed, FG signed an agreement with them since 2009, an MoU was signed after that, many years has past and FG still isn't paying the money, the federal government is the culprit. After this endsars protest, I recall reading a news that Gbajabiamilla(speaker of assembly) said Lagos will need #1trillion, I'm not disputing that, I just want to say, have you ever read a news that the speaker asked for #100bn for educational reform? what I'm saying is, the people in government is doing everything else except what needs to be done and that is, just pay this people and let them go.

Recall they had a slight agreement last month when ASUU seemed to be ready to accept a #50bn and some more fees that I can't recall now, why happened after that? the FG decided to play a fast one by now saying that the money isn't for ASUU alone, that they rest of NAAT and others also have a share in it, that meeting ended in a big disagreement.

FG is the real problem, if you're afraid to say it, I understand. I'm saying FG is the real problem. The people I pity is just the state universities that are on a "solidarity" strike with something that doesn't fully concern them. Their state governments are a disgrace, they need to order them back to school.

vikkimimi:
I just don't want to believe ASUU only have it's selfish interest at heart....And the government is being selfish even with tax payers money....I tire for this country

The truth is that ASUU just don't want for themselves only, of course their interest is paramount, they still want the government to invest more in tertiary education. It's not easy dealing with the federal government, how many times have we seen these politicians sleeping during house meetings and they get enormous pays while professors work their butt off for a small amount. Government owned tertiary institutions in Nigeria are also an eyesore, they are a mess, the hostels are not fit to live in, the classrooms are not accommodating the number that are being admitted, the laboratories and libraries are not well equipped and so on.

A developed country is made from 3 important sector.
-Education
-Health
-Power.

Once those 3 can be gotten in place the country will pick up faster than bolt.

Many of us are just caught up between their endless disagreement. I believe if the government understand another route, ASUU may not have to always resort to strike, we have intelligent lecturers in many tertiary institution, I'm sure they would have worked something out.

Federal government will rather spend many billions of dollars on project we would not see in many years than pay #200bn to ASUU and let them be done with strike for many years..

Even if this strike ends, I'm sure they'll be another one in about a year, ASUU is being pressured currently by many citizens(me especially, I had just a few months to graduate before the strike, yet here I am, an undergrad in November, very hurtful), we're all neglecting the federal government who could end this any moment but claim not to have money. They only need to include their ASUU agreement money into the next budget, that way no one will be sat with to pay, just a direct deposit instead of always sitting with minister for labour.

The sad part is, the government won't do it, they'll keep meeting with ASUU every year till the next administration takes over and hand over the debt to them and the cycle may keep going.

This country is a sham.

Incognito403:


ASUU gives no Eff about the academia. They're bloody embezzlers. Every year, hundreds of millions are pumped into our institutions by private and public institutions with virtually nothing to show for them.

Examples are in abundance.

You may be right. As for they hundreds of millions pumped into institutions, how sure are you that that money isn't just their salaries, the budget for education get smaller each year.

I'm not backing ASUU totally, I'm supposed to be ready for service right now, I'm as frustrated as you are probably. I'm just saying, if government pay ASUU their money, would there be need for strike? And please, don't say IPPIS, I hate ASUU for that reason. I believe if FG pays ASUU well and on time, they'll be no need to counter IPPIS by ASUU, but I don't know the full story on that.

The meeting between them is just like an abusive relationship, you would always think they're going to change you'll agree to stop fighting, yet another promise is broken. You get mad again, fight for months and reconcile, and the cycle continues.

My point is, they are both at fault, we just seem to target ASUU more, forgetting that it's the government's fault..

Haryoife:

Boss na if you can’t help him stop texting this way

how can he help him?

someone in 300L should know what to do. He should study hard, no one can help him but himself. He should write first class GP for the remaining semesters he has in school, after that, he'll know if it's possible. If he's thinking about giving up, he shouldn't, it won't be easy but it's worth a shot.

O.P. don't give up and keep studying hard.


by the way, I see you asked something like this last year and your result didn't improve, I'm not judging you. I just want you to know no one except you can help you. You can find study buddies in school, read your note out loud and record them, play it back often when your mind wanders too much. You'll see a massive improvement in your studies, read before and after class.
lastly, don't let anyone convince you that school isn't for you, it's better to have a degree and not need it than needing a degree and not having it.

I find the title Carpe Diem
Quite unique

Bit too intellectual for Many nigerians

funny but partly true.

what people don't want to accept is that musicians are actually smart people, rappers especially, many just don't listen to the lines.

Saintinoo:

Over the years, i have learnt to be neutral on ASUU vs FG saga, both parties are problem to Nigeria university sub-sector.

FG do not value education so does ASUU. About an alternative to strike? In 2019 ASUU were on strike and it was weeks to elections, ASUU were approached by INEC and they accepted to conduct the general elections, that period was a golden opportunity ASUU had to get atleast 50% of their demands met, but they showed that they were more of politicians than academicians.

Strike does not take anything away from the goverment, Buhari might decide to allow ASUU go on strike for the remaining three years of second term and nothing will happen, who bears the finally lose? Students and jnr Lecturers whose salaries will be withheld, ask any lecturer, pressure is on ASUU president from his members to call of the strike so they can be paid.

In Nigeria public universities, strike remains the most unthought option.

I love the way you think... especially the election part, ASUU list a golden opportunity to hold the FG, FG would have been forced to make a sweet deal with ASUU because politicians will do anything to get to office but ASUU lost that by partaking in that election, now FG could care less..

They could hold a meeting with Labour in less than a week but won't meet with ASUU after months of strike? that's an insult to everyone in education. This country is lost to clueless, selfish and stubborn leaders.

WhyNa:
Here, exercise is a big deal. As earliy as 5am or late in the evening, you'll see even the elderly engaging in exercise. In the parks, there are free exercise equipments too although not as sophisticated as the gym.

Theses are pictures from the new school. After first period, they all come out and a song is played and they choreograph to it. 11am, they go home for lunch.

When I taught kindergaten, theirs was every morning. 11am, lunch, then they sleep till 2pm

Tell me what else you notice in these pictures

nice nice update...
congratulations on your new job.

seems one student saw you taking the picture and pointed....

Ishilove:

We all have feminine and masculine sides. I'm getting in touch with my masculine side

this is hilarious....

WhyNa:


Lol. Your choice has been noted.

There's really no big deal in cooking. Sorta. I'm sure you can learn. There are also people here who do the I cook and deliver, you pay thinngy

I can try, not my strong part though...

it's time sha, learning is a process, make dem open border ni...

WhyNa:

Random picture....underground tunnel. Usually leads to the other side of a very busy road

WhyNa!! been a while, welcome back.

my response depends on the time your twice weekly evening classes are.

You're in a place to hustle, you stated you'd like improve your earnings so I'd go with the 1st offer..


if it were me though, I'd go with the 2nd offer, secondary school kids will be better for me than kindergarten.

The third offer seems like much work that can disturb your other classes.



in other news, wow you sabi cook oo, seems vietnam is not advisable to someone who can't cook..
thumbs up.����

Joohan:



Is that not waste of time cus I'm not thinking of working in Nigeria or vying for any political post in the future

hello.


I just want to answer your question, it's not a waste of time. You can't know what the future holds, you may end up abroad and back in Nigeria to lead a government agency, you will not be allowed. Remember Kemi Adeosun, I'm sure she felt the same as well (thinking she's based in UK and doesn't need to serve), but she later had to resign as minister of finance, remember the scandal it caused her.

it's better to have an NYSC certificate and not need it, than need it and not have it.

just focus fully on the opening of their border, time will help in this matter and a year from now, I'm believing things would have been better, you'll just keep saving money as WhyNa suggested.



Note:- it's not my business, I'm almost in your shoes, so I know what that wait for service is like.



WhyNa, I hail ooo...stay safe and as usual I'm ghost following....

WhyNa:

I earn that in about 21 minutes

welcome back here..

you're doing well. ���

Danielhouston:


I’m sorry but this is not the same thing. I am a team leader at work and people treat each other with respect, even when they don’t like you. You cannot call your colleague Hitler or use vile words against someone at work. I am not the president of a country, to say I can ignore the jabs thrown at me and continue my leadership. I am actually here. I can see the insults and I am a human being.

I know you guys are enjoying this thread and you want me to keep writing, but it is improper to keep telling me to harden up and “ignore the haters”, while I keep writing for you. I have emphasized the importance of mental health on this thread. I have ignored many things and I was going to keep ignoring but now, things have gone too far.
Hate will always be there, but I have a choice on whether or not to tolerate it. This time I am choosing happiness.

Daniel, hi.

I know no one can tell you what to do but I want to beg you, please leave.

yes, for your mental health, as someone who have had to go through mental and emotional issues for a while, I understand a little bit of what you may be going through.

I only follow you, if you notice, I get to see your new update without necessarily entering the thread, all that was just to avoid the drama on the thread, I stay away from toxicity as much as possible.

please, I'm sure many people have learnt a lot about Germany, first hand information, I think that should be enough.
if you really wish to document your story, try to open a blog, a private one, that way you can save your story for life.

I really commend you, a part of me wishes you to stay but that will be very selfish. I hate toxic people, I hate drama, I run away from it and my life has been very peaceful. There's so much hate for successful people, please just stay around your friends, trust me, nairaland is not worth your stress. there are thread for German schools, lives and stuff, there's also google for serious minded folks to make a good research.


I really feel hurt by your last few post and your back and forth with a guy, I really feel it. I don't know where you are but I support you. You deserve the very best as you only mean well, unfortunately, many people don't mean well.

please, take this seriously, just delete your account and move on. Trust me, nairaland isn't going to change, end of the year is too long if you want to end this toxic atmosphere.

Remember, at first, you didn't reply then it got too much to ignore. That's how such person will drag you to his level and you might be tempted to fight dirty.


This is just a suggestion, you can shove it right my a.. I don't mind, I just really feel saddened that you have to go through all that, all because you meant well for your fellow human.

I respect you and wish you better things.


stay blessed Daniel.



added: on a second thought, I think it's possible to unfollow the thread and still post your update. that way, you wouldn't have to be notified of any post on it, except people mention you, which you can always ignore till you move on from this space.

anyway you decide to go, your mental health is most important.

SageMahrez:
This thread is not even about whyna's experience again. Na repetitive questions just full everywhere.

Whyna bring back the story telling and pictures please.

seconded.


WhyNa, I'm "puppy eyeball" begging...

Biko, come back...

I saw this last year and wrote this short poem about it.

For goodness sake, why are we thinking about elections when there's much to do.

Educational sector is grounded, many youths are idle. Many workers are suffering, millions of citizens are going through what is probably the hardest time of their lives, yet we are being promised free and fair election.

Our "president" isn't addressing us any longer, we only keep getting "livescores" from NCDC, nothing else, no plan shown about how to combat what has stall an economy that was crawling.
Politicians make election their priority and nobody seems to challenge them, they just ride around in their comfort. Millions of naira in account, doing absolutely nothing.

Yet, many youths here keep praising and fighting over this said politicians, it is a big shame on us all..


Oh God!!!

This country's leaders are egregious (I hope I used the word right).
God help us.

WhyNa:

It's not been easy jare. Been really busy

As expected.
Seems it's of no use telling you to stay safe, na we dey suffer COVID for here. So stay blessed!!!

this is really lovely, the seats? wow.
That is one comfy ride, with a screen too, impressive.

Ca4real:


Nobody is killing the thread, I enjoyed reading the adventure but don't fancy it when she started evading so many questions asked by some interested people who wish to travel to Vietnam.
If u go to Canada thread , you ask question they answer you. Same with other threads.

But this one is different. She is acting strange and I sure know that she want to run the package for people here as their agent hence she is evading questions.

Go through the thread and see so many questions unanswered.

The only thing I'll say is, you have a bad mentality, an entitlement mindset. If she refuses to share what she knows, so what? I've read through her posts and seen that she did the background information herself and she was fortunate to come across that agent. I've read her post for many pages and seen her on a lot thread as far back as 2014/2015 and stuffs, by the way, she just got to Vietnam this year.

she has answered the real question that anyone with a determined mind needs to know, answers about the process, your budget, how work can be gotten and the likes but you're there expecting people to spoon-feed you, you're on your own.

This entitlement mentality will get you nowhere, like, let people be, let them do how they please. It may upset you, speak and move on, unnecessarily challenging people for what they don't want to do for YOU makes you look needy.
Learn to engage a little and move on.

Go to YOUR Canadian thread or others and leave someone's life alone, it is HER private life, she does this at her will and will be done at her pace.



You don't need to reply as I wouldn't quote back.
Stay safe.✌️✌️


WhyNa, Thank you, you're a beautiful soul.

WhyNa:

Please check. This question has been answered in detail

oh, seen it a few pages back.
thank you.

nice job here...

WhyNa... nice post.


I didn't want to quote your long Post, it was very informative.


I want to ask about the TEFL though, I think you advised not to do it in Nigeria, so how did you go about yours?

Ishilove:

Okay thanks. I will go back and read it.

check this....
page 24, last paragraph.

Ishilove:

Wow. Very observant. Is there a possibility that there may be another national who was picked up around the same time as Invictus?

well, reading through, there's a section that states that coconspirator 1 isn't Nigerian.

Thank you Danielhouston..

Danielhouston

I must commend you on your writing skills, you're so articulate.

nice work.


I want to ask on how you stay behind, I'm asking for the story, I mean, if I want to come for masters, how easy can I stay behind you get a work permit for jobs and stuffs.

I also have a family friend over there that we're really close to, of I could get him to send an invitation letter, would I need the block account?

azubix:


Guy you are funny. The Daniel guy has spent 7 year in Germany before creating that tread, @WhyNa is barely 6 months in Vietnam she can not post beyond her experience unless you want her to dish out informations she is not certain about.

She has given us update so far unless you want her to come everyday and post what she just ate or how she brush her teeth. I guess she must be settling into her new job and apartment. Any new update she will surly share with us.

For now, lets share our research findings and ask her questions where necessary.

For me, FPT University gave me admission and I have 1 month to pay the tuition fee na the matter I dey try settle oh, lol. No money to pay but God no go shame us.

I love the way WhyNa dish us the information, not unnecessary post, just key things and fun parts as well, it's her life, her data, phone and her time, she chose to spend sometime here and update, I'm happy for that as I'm learning and working towards my goal as well.

Congratulations on your admission, hustle go pay..
Make you join her too, it will be nice.

okay thanks alot

you're welcome...

I've got a snapshot of my international passport I should think that will do as my ID?

Also, the name written on my passport is UWADIAE VALENTINE OSASENAGA but I registered my upwork account with just my last name and first name which is: VALENTINE UWADIAE... Hope no issues with that ??

International passport is great, just make sure the picture is clear and it shows your data page fully, no side should be cropped out.

and no, no issues at all..

so far the 2 names are included in the names on the passport.
