Sincere 9gerian: The problem with some Nigerians is their selective approach to issues. We all read the report about the UK lecturers going on strike. How many days did the strike last? Just one day. Was the demands of the lecturers met while the strike lasted? Are the UK lecturers not aware that they can also go on indefinite strike the Nigerian way? So why didnt they use that approach?

Since you and I criticise out political leaders for not copying the RIGHT things from the western world, why not our lazy lecturers? Why is what is good for the goose not also good for the gander? Where else in the world would labour leaders shut the door of the universities for months, claiming to be fighting for improved quality of higher education? You killed education for months in the name of fighting for better education? How does that add up?

More over, ASUU has been embarking on strike since the late 70s, but decades after we'r still on the same issue. So what has changed? Motion without movement.

I dont believe in half-measures. If we want to solve the problems in our universities, we have to do it whollistically. ASUU is not part of that whollistic solution because they'r part of the problem. I will not support ASUU because the so called 2009 does not address the problems in our universities. We need to tell our selves the truth and do the RIGHT thing, which is complete autonomy of the universities (not the type ASUU is asking for). Govt should establish students loans or whatever to help those who cannot meet up with the increment of schools that will follow real autonomy. The FG govt universities will still get grants but these grants will be fixed by the NASS and will not be subject to labour dispute. ASUU should be proscribed. All labour disputes should be handled locally.

As long as we dont do the right thing, we will soon be back to square one- another strike

I should have known you'r one of those lazy, unpatriotic, corrupt bunch, who call themselves ASUU. ASUU has been going on strike since the late 70s but what has changed? Only fools keep doing the same thing while expecting different result. Yeye!

naija2dabone:

Dear God,

You are the Almighty God. You are God all by yourself. No one elected
you and no one can impeach you.

I pray for your son Jonathan, who is faced with principalities and
powers that have held this nation down in backwardness and darkness for
decades. These demons now bear various names including ASSU, Boko Haram,
NPDP, APC, northern Elders forum, NGF, etc. All these demonic
wickedness in high places have one common mission: to stop your son
Jonathan from completing his transformation programme come 2015.

Dear lord, in whatever way/form they come against your son, let them
fall in shame. Let their wicked imagination not see the light of the
day, Let their evil plot backfire and may they never see the throne of
this nation.

Throw your weight around oh God and let them know there is a God in
heaven who rules in the affairs of men.

Thank you lord.
In Jesus name

kapable75: i think ur fada is part of d ASUU striking for his pockets

lauyan Abuja: @Mumumugu, am sure u don't know much about Northerners as u must holed up in the south. Even if our falsehood is accorded credence, your light brain will agree with me that northerners are good when they pursue academic excellence!!

big deal 007:

The problem with your analysis is that you took side before writing this... Did you ask your self why lecturers in Uk could easily agree to call off strike while negotiation continues?... Because they have men of integrity at the helm of affairs of govt. people who will not say a thing and later deny it. Yes, strikes have been since 70's but have you checked if the govt. have ever honored any of the agreement made since the 1st ASUU strike in this country?
Have you seen the whole 2009 agreement or you just saw some parts and concluded it's not the solution?

take dat: Employ new lecturers such as, You? A Mere certificate flasher? An inexperience medical doctor turn self-appointed government spokesperson who probably think leeches can cure headache, and chlorofoam is still used as an anasthetic At a time when we are experiencing huge brain drain, we should just discard the few tested hands we've got and employ untested ones? We should discard the few qualified professors that we have and employ those with masters degree or mere certificate flashers as their replacement?

Isn't Jonathan also greedy, selfish, corrupt and wicked? You think just because you are innately dishonest, every other person must always exhibit such trait? Why not wait for their final resolution before polluting everywhere with your drivel?

These people want to see the Wrath of Oga Jonathan...

The FG should deploy that plan B - forceful reopening of all public Universities.

Ukuts gp: ASUU should continue the strike until the full amount is released. If not, the four months strike embarked upon is only a waste. This government cannot be trusted. If the strike is eventually called off, it wont take long before a more serious one will emerge. And this one may even take up to one year. Mark my words.

**Screams a big Amen!!!!**

donphilopus: What's this one spewing??

Sincere 9gerian:
Dont you get it? ASUU uses strike to blackmail and pressure govt into signing ridiculous and un-implementable agreements. Yar Adua signed that agreement in 2009 just to get ASUU off his back, even if momentarily. The same thing is happening again. After 4 months strike, govt has been forced to make new concessions, even if just to make the ASUU call off the strike momentarily. Its been like that since the late 70s. So the cycle of madness continues.

Meanwhile, are you insinuating that because govt is irresponsible, ASUU should also act irresponsibly? So if people from ASUU find themselves in govt tomorrow, they'll continue with the irresponsibility? So the cycle of irresponsibility continues? Yet, mischief makers like you claim you want a better Nigeria? What happens to copying best practices and being the change you want to see?
