yunglykmine: You have a point there.

majalisa: u don't really understand d issue in discuss so sharrap and learn

barcanista: Go To Hell ASUU, Go back to classroom, or be fired.

FYI: Nigerians are yearning to take over your jobs.




On FG decision we stand!

U are a cow.... Congratz on your desire to take over their jobs....mumu....u can never understand unless you're in d system.... So, just shut up pls....

ballabriggs: Sack them and replace with Jonadunce PhDs?

Rubbish!!!

take dat: Anyone with half a brain would know that the threat to sack the striking lecturers is an idle one and a display of empty bravado. Even if there is a ready-made market to recruit new lecturers from our large army of unemployed graduates, it will take the government a very long time to replace the sacked ones or will former lecturers turned politicians like Jerry Gana and co relinquish their political lives to return back to the classroom?

Besides, this threat is already 5 months late, sacking the lecturers now will put the university system into a bigger turmoil than what we have now. Are we just going to discard some of the very few erudite minds that we still have left to start with those with little or no experience? If the lecturers are sacked, are we planning to immediately replace them with ghosts(Nigeria is a country of ghosts, from ghost workers to ghost boko harams)? Won't universities advertise the vacant positions/offices? Won't it take time for those interested to apply? Won't it take time for the universities to complete the whole recruitment exercise, not to talk of a country riddled with bureaucratic problems? These processes will surely take time, even more than the students have already spent at home. The best bet is to continue with the negotiation, neither ASUU nor Government is a victim here, the real victims are the students.

ba7man: The downside of making threats is when someone calls your bluff.............You then have to put your money where your mouth is.

Grown men don't respond well to threats, there is always a "bargaining chip" and G.E.J has never discovered any in all his dealings.

awodman: Earlier this week a group of lecturers in Unilag gave ASUU a week ultimatum to call off this strike..those lecturers will sign the register and resume...

Spoke with a lecturer in UNN..he said once the register is opened he will fill his name in bold..I asked him the opinion of his colleagues..he said most are tired and no longer disposed to the strike...that they will also sign

The coming days are gonna be interesting..been Owed 5 months salary no be beans especially with Xmas fast approaching..Truth is ASUU will never remain same again

lincy: I wonder Y a Boss will ask a subordinate to go back to work and the boss is being quationed, ASUU is bitting more than can chew. The federal govt. Should audit the whole fED university, the should give account of the money that has be allocated to Fed uni. Before now .

We ar named by the white race "people with low IQ"

* ASUU embarked on strike lobbing for huge allocation even wen certain amont has being given to them, it went viral that same money that is ment for running of the accademic up keeps was shared among the lecturers and the mass didn't intervain, now they ar asking for more. I ask the so called low IQ profs. The little that hv been offered to them wat do they hav to show for it if not sleep around with the female students and offering fake scores.

I dare the mass to demand from ASUU audit on wat they hav done so far witz the previose allocations on the possetion.
WHO KNOWS IF THE MONEY Won't GO DOWN DRAIN.
They should show blue print of the old allocations awarded to them and the mass will back them up or Go BACK to class room.

Was told teaching is passion, why being monetize in detriment of poor students.

Sincere 9gerian:
Dont you know that the govt has intelligence information that some lecturers are already willing to resume work? Wait till events unfold in the coming weeks.

I dont think the idea is to sack all lecturers, rather it is to return the pressure on the leaders of the unions. If all labour unions insist on hundred percent implementation of their demands, this country and indeed the world will grind to a halt. ASUU and other unions which hope to emulate the current strategy of ASUU will also see from this action that govt can also bite.

ubongutioh: ASUU is crazy. If Fashola was the president, he would have sacked them. They are capitalizing on this GEJ's extreme humility and diplomacy.

lincy: dat is the hight ur brain can offer ur mouth or do u hav better tin say.

vedaxcool: This president is acting too stupid for his own good!

majalisa: obviously u r an indisciplined brat eager to resume school even if it warrants sitting on d floor of a dilapidated lecture hall while spending d best part of ur study year at d social center..I pity ur insight on d subject matter

abdurrazaq:
What terrorism are you blabbing about all around the forum. Can you put sentiment apart for some minutes and reason like a human that you are. The Nigerian FG is not to be trusted and, any reasonable person or group of persons dealing with it should do so with all forms of cautions at his/their disposal. The Federal Government is the one terrorising the masses/students as far as this face-off is concerned. Honour the agreement you entered into, that's all (in Shem Obafaiye's voice)

lincy: tanx waz at my pik of anger wen makn my points nice one

take dat: Forget any silly intelligence report. After the NEC meeting of ASUU, we were told that 60% of the striking lecturers/university chapters are in support of calling off the strike provided government is able to meet their new requests/conditions. So its public knowledge that ASUU is willing to call off the strike.

The FG is trying to employ the usual tactics of divide and conquer, the same tactic successive governments have used in dividing the people of Nigeria for their personal gains. So trying to break the ranks of ASUU or any other labor union is not new.

Why is government afraid to implement ASUU's new resolutions? The sack threat is a display of insensitivity and against the principle of public bargaining. ASUU already submitted the resolutions from their NEC meeting to the FG and they are waiting for a planned meeting with the President, so why is government after waiting for 5 months threatening to sack lecturers when the President is yet to grant them audience as promised? The biggest problem is that of heavy mistrust, ASUU is only being cautious by demanding that the President and top Government functionaries commit themselves to the new agreement in writing. ASUP and other bodies who called off their strikes are already issuing new ultimatums because the government is yet to fulfill the agreements made months after such were reached. I insist that Government is not a victim here and ASUU is not entirely right with her approach, display of brute force from government will not yield any positive result.
