Olril18:
u will be shocked ur sack leta has already being prepared....

Luchitec: ASUU is now a big joke….an organization made up many unproductive lecturers. Revamping the universities is not the sole responsibility of the government, these lecturers should contribute too. How? In the West, reputable academics purchase equipment, hire research and student assistants from grants obtained from companies and organizations. In fact, in some universities research grant portfolio and publications are the key determinants for promotion. In Nigeria, some of these lecturers do zero research, deliver archaic/poorly developed lectures and yet they want to be remunerated at par with their colleagues abroad.

Honestly, some of the major proponents of this strike thing have no business being in the university. It beats my imagination how university dons with a plethora of things to do can afford to stay away from their duty post for 5 months! Given the way the Nigerian universities are presently constituted, no improvement will be happening soon even if the government/private sector invests one trillion dollars there. It is about time the government, parents and students should make these eggheads accountable. Enough of this nonsense, there should be a yearly or biannual evaluation system for teaching and research competency for lecturers in place. All those found unproductive after each evaluation cycle should be kicked out.

Tonitelli: This is serious o!!!!see as students, or should I say children, are here chewing ASUU out for being wise and careful.you have been at home for 5 months..bla bla bla!!!abeg make una allow us hear word...some of us passed through the system when we were at home for 6months...9 months!!!And that was when the military that don't send anybody were in power....do you think it was easy??
Has it even remotely occurred to your infantile minds that this would not have even gone this long if your government had their priorities right??if Wike had spent more time talking with ASUU instead of chasing ameachi all over the place??If President Jonathan had not spent his time thinking of how to outmaneuver nPDP and all sorts??if this so called 13hr meeting had come in the 2nd or 3rd month of the strike??
And what if he had a 13hr meeting??didnt they tell him they would take his message back to their NEC??what have they come back to ask for that is bad??"Oga,abeg,we gree..but make u sign am for paper..the last one wey we sign wit perm sec na una talk say that one no go work..so make ur attorney general and central bank gov or finance minister follow put hand just in case if u drink ogogoro wake up forget wetin we yarn.."
It's simple.you are a sincere govt.they want you to show that by signing.SIGN!!!!
And by the way, they are entitled to thier salaries...they were fighting for the collective good of our university system...how some of you can actually say they should not be paid is wickedness!!so you would rather they keep quiet and allow the system go to rot and be collecting the salaries,abi??
And for them to say they don't want any of eir people victimized,it's because it has happened BEFORE!!!
Wetin ASUU do wey wrong say dem dey watch dem back, eh??i tire for una!!

abedoyin: Why r we so much concern abt the 13hrs of meeting,holding a 24hrs meeting to revamp the economy system worth it,If ASUU had made mistake comminicating the resolution to is member instantaneously,FG shld nt take this has an excuse for not signing the Agreement.
FG should sign the agreement and let's go back to school.

wasak:
are u kidding me? u mean the FG didn't negotiate with ASUU all this while? common we all know the truth. ASUU is selfish.

otokx:

it appears you will have to eat up all these words, GEJ just said he never gave any ultimatum.

President Goodluck Jonathan has weekend, said his government did not give the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, an ultimatum to resume work or be sacked.

Fielding questions from newsmen at the expanded caucus meeting of the Bayelsa State Peoples Democratic Party held at Government House, Yenagoa, the President said, the Supervising Minister of Education only passed on the decision of the Committee of Vice Chancellors.

“We didn’t give them ultimatum; it was the Committee of Vice Chancellors that took that decision. The Supervising Minister of Education only passed on the decision.”

Jonathan also said the strike embarked upon by the ASUU was no longer a trade dispute , but a subversive action.


He said, “What ASUU is doing is no longer trade union. I have intervened in other labour issues before now, once I invite them they respond and after the meeting they take decision and call off the strike.

“At times we don’t even give them a long notice,unlike, in the case of ASUU that was given four days notice before the meeting. As you are meeting to resolve trade disputes, you expect the trade unions to get their officials ready.

“What was expected having met with the highest authorities in the land for long hours, was for ASUU to immediately issue statement within 12 or latest 24 hours , to state their position whether they were accepting government’s offer or not. And if they are not accepting they should state the reason for that.”

“But despite the fact that I had the longest meeting with ASUU in my political history, we did not start that meeting until around 2:00pm and the meeting ended the next day in the early hours. As far as the government of Nigeria was concerned, all the critical people that should be in a meeting were there, so what else do they want?

“After that they didn’t meet until one week, despite the fact that you met with the highest authority. It was unfortunate one of them, Prof. Iyayi died.

“The way ASUU has conducted the matter shows they are extreme and when Iyayi died, they now said the strike was now indefinite, our children have been at home for over five months.”

timwezzb: ASUU don't even NO What they Want......

OMO IBO: Lol.
Handout money and konji don show dem pepper.

On a more serious note, these guys ought tto ga back.

It is unheard of for a learnedd bunch to grossly disrespect and disobey the president after a 13 hour marathon meeting

simi_olu1:

When a Public Office holder signs an official document, he/she does so in his/her official capacity.
Sanusi's signature is on Naira notes not because of d person he is but because of his office.
So ASUU asking d Attorney General, FG, NLC, TUC, Finance minister and other parties to sign just means its the offices of these people that endorses d agreement as genuine.
If U have ever had a Corporate client in whatever biz U do, then U would know that multi signatures on contracts are very common.
ASUU is just trying to tie d FGs hand. Those guys are very good negotiators

Francobaresi: I have just 1 sentense 4 u "na God go punish u ode"

Darkaengel: I have read every post on this topic and all I can say is for all those supporting ASUU God go punish you. For those who understand that ASUU is looking for ways to enrich themselves God bless you. Have they discussed how they will be accountable for the trillions they asked for? They just want money money money. This same half baked lecturers who make huge grammatical errors believe all the teaching equipments will solve their problems right? It means they are the major problem of education in Nigeria.

debbleopto:

lack and empty of logical reasoning but full of abuse. empty dumpster.

thegreatman4ww: Mazi, tonitelli, etc
I will appreciate u all, u nid not be angry wit those who couldnt c wat u re saying, dat is y ASUU is on course so dat our stds can av good comprehensive analytical and researching mind.
I read to page 6 b4 reading dis page 12, I want to add that the so called 2009 Agreement was done under the supervision of GEJ then VP and took him 6mths to study before advicin Ya'ar adua to honour, he work wit ASUU to make MoU of same agreement last year and coming to tell us that the agreement is implementable, the govt official were incompetent, etc in he once says there was no such agreement.
Do u think Profs are dafts, this yr only two unions suspended strike but av to resume back fews months later.
PLS CAN WE JUST SEE IN INSINCERITY OF OUR GOVT?
The meeting with FG govt was concluded wit agreement dat they will come back to giv feedback to FG after meeting with d members because there are deviations from original agreement, then coming back to give the feedback wit condition of makin it enforceable...

safarigirl: You know you're conversing with a kid when statements like 'GOD PUNISH YOU' are being thrown at people carelessly. A supposedly educated person saying 'God punish you'.
