sunnyboi: Please can someone tell me when GEJ will give ASUU N1.5tr. am tired mehn

Olugbenger: .why are these folks bent on emulating values and activities associated with the public ones?
Considering their negative stance to Reasonable Freedom and Concept of sociality on campus, one would begin taking random imaginations on their independence especially the Strict Christian ones.
Worse is now asking for the Government's support knowing how problems between the latter and ASUU, NASU etc evolved over the past years and the issues of structural decay in public institutions and other misfits.
All i see is a mischeivous program trying to gain sympathy, public attention and waste of funds meant for the common man's child.

click2cbn: NUGA, easy to pronounce!
NPUGA, sounds like APUGA( Igbo pronunciation of "APGA"

djtm:
what's wrong with private universities coming together for some annual event? I thought values were meant to be emulated? All what we've ever done in Nigeria (the good stuffs this time around) as far as civilization is concerned was borrowed from somewhere. Going to school, new products and inventions, anything, everything name it! Going by your post, it will be considered sane for a white man somewhere to scold us for going to school because they started it first or because all what we learn in school are things they discovered. It will also be considered sane for mobile phone developing companies to keep churning out huge 1.5kg phones because a company somewhere in another country discovered how to make lightweight phones first. Your post reeks of hatred.
NB: i do not attend a private university!

Codedrock: WHY ARENT THE SCHOOLS LISTED?
