Onlytruth: I am a STRONG supporter of No Work No Pay in this case.
Unbridled unionism should be proscribed in Nigeria's university system.
ASUU should be proscribed the same way Egypt proscribed the Moslem Brotherhood and confiscated their assets.
ASUU's assets (whatever is left of it) should be seized, sold, and their proceeds used to pay students some form of bursary as compensation/remediation for breached contract.

Korrection: Do you know what ASUU is demandihg for? If you dont know please shut ur mouth...visit universities and you'll understand..

mooregan:
Bros, don't be deceived, ASUU is not fighting for any University upgrading anything. They r fighting for their pockets. By the way, would u mind educating me on what they used their Internal Generated Revenue for?? I'm waiting

Demdem:

One year out of how many being owned.
Are u sure that money is inside the lecturers accounts?
No work no pay isn't new. I support ASUU 100%.
Now is the time to finish this war.
Govt can't be trusted. Other unions knows this..

homesteady: No work No pay has my 100% support!
Its because the lecturers are still receiving their salaries, that's why they are doing yanga!

Forester45: You may be sick. Check your health status please.

amaechijay: Strike can go on and on and on......The best solution to these reoccurring issue is to privatize our universities or the whole educational sector. A private public institution maybe, there is no developed country in the world were federal government is in charge of education. it will never work just like telecommunication and power. What do they do with income generated from school fees and other levies. Companies should also invest in research in the tertiary institution. The Havard, Oxford, Yale, Cambridge are not owned or run buy any govt. What right do these lecturers have to make some of these stupid demands? Its not in their place to ask these outrageous demands whether its for a good cause or not. I think they should be considerate to think first of the students they have kept at home all these while. The government cannot afford to just fund the educational sector and ignore others. These issues should also be raised in the national conference. its high time we practiced true federalism. Generate income and pay taxes to the federal govt.

agabaI23: UNIBEN paid a year and half earned allowance. It is no secret. Some received over a million while some under. I was reliably informed that the least paid received 700k.

castrokins:

You should ask ASUU how they expend TETFUND. What cause are they fighting for? After years of funding through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, can you say for a certainty that objectives of the fund were/are met?

omogidi234:

Oga, I was in University of Ilorin those days when the branch ASUU was hot ( 97, 99 and 2000). The 'no work no pay' rule was first tested in Unilorin. Ask any one who was in Unilorin between 97- 2007, after close to ten years, the lecturer won their case in the Supreme Court. The funniest thing was that the least paid earned about N20m or so, depending on your HATISS. Even those who died during the struggle, their families received their pay. My point exactly is that after suspending their salary for years and some had gone to private universities, the court still ruled that they should earn salary till the date of the judgment or so.

So please let us learn from the past. If the FG thinks they are overbearing, let them take legal action as against illegal action of 'no work no pay'.

obayaya:

amongst the negotiation team for ASUU.. there's a certain Prof. Chukuka Okonjo who I believe is professor Ngozi okonjo iweala's father.

Prof. Ngozi okonjo iweala was the minister of. finance in 2009 when this agreement was reached.

so is the honorable minister telling us that his royal Majesty her father was stupid when they renegotiated this agreement.

or was Prof. Ngozi okonjo iweala so daft back then in. 2009 that she didn't see that the agreement wasn't feasible.

if the figures in this agreement were to be adjusted according to inflation, the Federal government should be paying more.

opylas:

U b student @ all?

jayriginal: Most of the people condemning ASUU have no clue whatsoever. Get yourselves enlightened!

Now listen. ASUU is fighting for a cause and ASUU is being steadfast in their cause. This is not an ambush, this is over an agreement that was reached years ago.

ASUU is not like other unions eg your NLC.

Does anyone remember how NLC ruined the occupy Nigeria protest to the dismay of many Nigerian youths? Have you forgotten the betrayal of the masses when the NLC in mysterious circumstances called of the strike?
Did anybody do anything about it?
What of the youth that died during the protest? He was shot by police. What happened to that?

You know why NLC could betray you like that? You know why the Government can walk all over you with shoes studded with 6 inch nails? You know why the general condition of the masses does not improve?

It is because we are a nation of lily livered suffering and smiling people who will rather continue in hardship than risk the slightest inconvenience to stand up for their rights.

ASUU is fighting for a cause!

Demdem:

Currently not but was once a student so I perfectly understand ur cries.
Infact before I matriculated in OAU, I have already lost a year.
The aim here is 2013 should be the last time we ever hear of ASUU going on strike. Let's work towards that.

wesley80:
Was that the year they were supposed to teach you common sense? Now see what you've become after you go say strike good!

Sincere 9gerian: Why are Tinubu e-rats supporting ASUU in the ongoing immoral strike? It is Politics, politics, politics!!!

I wonder why payment of the lecturer's earned allowance was released when the strike has not been called off? That was a dumb strategy.

No work no pay strategy should have been implemented from day one. It is immoral, criminal, wicked and atrocious for people to be paid salaries for NO work. That is corruption. That is tantamount to payment of GHOST WORKERS.

Sweetlemon:

Bravo!

But it is really sad! Nigerians have gotten so used to being used by the FG that they don't want to be rescued. It's like a wife, an abused wife who is so used to being treated like dirt by husband that she now enjoys the pain.
There's deep pain in my heart because I know that no matter how hard I pray for Nigeria, Nigeria will not get better because the people themselves do not want change!

goziepenzy: . Good move by FG! ASSU my nyash

omogidi234:
@ topic, ASUU should invent another style of getting their demands met other than strike. Government is not feeling the immediate impact rather it is the students.
