Ghen Ghen

And so it begins...

The final battle

The ultimate showdown between evil and somewhat less evil

An establishment run by an ogogoro master versus an establishment run by intellectual perverts

Who shall prevail?

Who shall win?

It's the final countdown....

Is this the right thing to do?

Is this not calling for anarchy in our educational system?

Mr. President should be properly advised.

On a second thought: I wonder why ASUU is hell-bent on insisting on all of these their demands.

I thought we have travelled through this thoughtless road before with the UNILORIN expelled lecturers who were reinstated by the Supreme court and the university compelled to pay them all their arrears even after several years just because they stood firm with ASUU!

GEJ sure hasn't learnt a thing!

This is the ACTION FILM that I've been waiting for. When all pleading and negotiations fail, the only option left would be physical FIGHT, aka WAR. Lets do it man to man and get bruised so that both sides can learn the RIGHT lessons going forward. No one has monopoly of violence or force.

Yes o, let them go to supreme court or United Nations. It is part of the war. Let the President do what he can and let ASUU do what they can. It is now WAR.

It is not exactly. Fashola did not make any concessions with the doctors, unlike the FG. During the last negotiations with the president which lasted for unprecedented 13 hours, the president granted ADDITIONAL concessions to ASUU but all to no avail. All these because a terrorist is the head of ASUU

GEJ, thank you very much. These useless ASUU members are over doing things. I can't be paying over 200k for my wards in LASU and the hopeless institution will go on strike for almost 5 months.
I wish state governors can do same.

I completely support this move. Those using ASUU strike as a way to loot the nation to detriment of the lives of our children should be confronted once and for all.

You cannot compare this to Abacha's situation. Abacha never gave them so much respect and time. They have abused the goodwill extended to them and lost public sympathy.

Well, that's a card available to the FG and they have elected to play it. The way I see it, the lecturers will go to court, while lectures go on courtesy of the new lecturers. After a long winding court case, they will agree to settle out of court for more or less what have been offered. Same thing they could have done now.

Exactly. At the moment, ASUU only enjoys the sympathy of Tinubu dogs who see the ongoing strike as part of the instruments of making the country ungovernable for GEJ, who they hate so much

horrific and daft timing - a bit more quiet would have broken their ranks but in dis one stupid stroke, you have given them reason to get angry and continue fighting.

abacha lost against these people! point is where do you want to find qualified manpower to fill those spaces? or can a B.Sc holder lecture 400 level students? if the medical lecturers refuse to go back, is it new graduates that will handle medical classes?

often times, it seems to me that the people advising GEJ are actually planning for his downfall! because when the lecturers get angry and refuse, he will (like npdp) start calling them back for meetings and further lose respect!

the man has totally demystified the office of the president

THIS IS HOW ASUU FARE UNDER IBB AND ABACHA.
MAY BE GENERAL JONATHAN CAN TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

courtsey of Wikipedia on history of ASUU strike.

Military regime

The union was active in struggles against the military regime during the 1980s.[1] In 1988 the union organized a National Strike to obtain fair wages and university autonomy. As a result, the ASUU was proscribed on 7 August 1988 and all its property seized. It was allowed to resume in 1990, but after another strike was again banned on 23 August 1992. However, an agreement was reached on 3 September 1992 that met several of the union's demands including the right of workers to collective bargaining. The ASUU organized further strikes in 1994 and 1996, protesting against the dismissal of staff by the Sani Abacha military regime.[1]


MY TAKE:
IF ASUU COULD REMAIN AFTER THE IBB AND ABACHA'S VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
I AM KEENLY WATCHING TO SEE WHAT GENERAL EBELE CAN DO.
IF HE CAN PUT AN END TO ASUU, THEN HE BECOMES THE FIRST FIELD-MARSHAL NIGERIA WILL EVER HAVE.

We know that for people like you, the strike is a political capital to further your "bring Nigeria down" campaign. Nothing new there. grin
