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!

anyaekekehinde:

You are the one that is silly not to know it was an agreement reached by both parties in 2009 and a fresh MOU was signed in 2012, you also silly to think you can enter into agreement with someone and renege. For the records General Electric does not employ fresh graduates taught in Nigeria, you can research it here on nairaland or linkedIn they would rather go to USA and other foreign schools to recruit Nigerian graduates , why? Because they know Engineers in Nigeria don't have stuff, and you think that is not shameful enough.

simpleseyi: Abacha tried this in the 90s and he went 6-feet under the soil. Jonathan is now doing same, I hope he doesn't follow Abacha to where he is. No money to honour agreement with ASUU but Jonathan included money to buy additional presidential jets in this year's budget despite having 9 jets already. Jonathan has been dashing money to millitants, Tompolo just bought a private jet and Asari Dokuboh just established private university from Jonathan's gifts.

Demdem:

Fool, u obviously don't know how the uni system work. If otherwise, u would have known that the year eventually held.
Oponu, strike isn't a good thing but considering the kind of miserable leaders we have currently, that is the only language they know.
The strike that made Jonathan pay this one will make him also pay the balance.
No shaking.

amaechijay: whose fault? Federal government or the lecturers? you don't have to call me names dear

Don Magic Juan: FG should not only stop their salaries but also evict any occupying staff quarters and also give them 30 days ultimatum to return back to work or get the sack.

Enuff is enuff!

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.

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.

Demdem:

Their fight so far has made some of them millionaires. ( their rights and entitlements)
When they didn't fight but were begging govt, they got nothing.
Do u think they should stop fighting even when they are still being owned years of past entitlements?
Only known fools like tahat, weslefool will expect them to.

mooregan:
I've observed you've called almost everybody who's not seeing things from ur own point of view FOOLS. Do u think u r any better? Can't u raise ur point without insulting anybody? Mr too sabi like you.

urchpath:

And that is exactly y u have been ranting non-sense on this thread. No doubt you are possibly a member of the self-centered ASUU and care-less about the negative impact of this strike on students. U don't even have any intelligent point to offer here. All u do is call people fools and make a bigger fool of urself. My advice: just quite disgracing urself. And lest I forget, grow up! Thank you

urchpath:

U are grossly annoying! Like u carelessly said "their fight has made some of them millonaires", if u listen to yourself very well u will understand how imbecilic you have become...some group of people becoming millonnaires @ the expense of the future of multitude of students. Smh!

Demdem:

Will u STFU. Did I ask those that brought u to life not to become lecturers so that they also can be millionaires?
Did I even ask them not to be smart?
Don't be jealous of these hardworking peeps. It's their money. They worked for it and deserves even more than that.
It's not at the expense of iidiotic students like u, its their reward for their sweat.
Only ingrates like u will like to be taught freely and declare that the reward of ur teachers should come from heaven.
U sound daft. Really daft.

urchpath:

U are just a wild animal let loose from the zoo. So y should I go ahead n argue with anencephalic brainless psycho like u. So kid kip displaying ur skills here while I get back to my business.
FYI: my dad is a senior lecturer.

walad4yhu:

Ur ryt buh let em suffer as we'r suffering too cus even d strike no matter what must b call-off...

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.

Hearme:

how did you know?

Sweetlemon: I am sick and tired of seeing half-baked, half-fried and half-roasted so-called graduates who cannot construct simple sentences to save their lives! It's now or never. It has to be the full loaf of bread or no bread at all!

Nigerian students, I advice you to go to private schools. if you cannot afford that, then go start small businesses! Of what use is your education if you cannot secure good jobs afterwards? What use is your degree if it is not respected in international communites?

Please think about this. It's now or never. Join in the fight so that your kids can have a better future!
