Sincere 9gerian: Bottomline, ASUU leadership has been thoroughly
washed on national tv. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves wherever they are

gbengadada2004:

Sincerely, I don't think threatening ASUU to go back to class (without any concrete and documented agreement) is a rational thing to do. Nigerian leaders are shameless. Primary schools in some other countries are better than the best Nigerian university. I spent my first few months abroad weeping. I was asking God and myself: ''why is Nigeria like this''? Nigerian students sit on benches (some don't even have seats) including where I lecture. Many lecturers do not have office blocks. I have never used power point to teach in Nigeria (because there is no facility to carry it). Researches are not funded. Lecturers are paid peanuts. I told someone my salary and he was surprised. Lecturers earn over £4000 monthly (1millon naira) in the UK. They have grants (some over £1million in 2 years) to conduct research. They have access to world-class journals free, textbooks and other teaching materials. Many teach just one or two courses (I was teaching 8 in a week). Many of the people that kept Nigeria where it is today have their children abroad, and these children are sponsored with stolen wealth (I know how many are in my school). Sometimes I wonder if Nigerian political actors have conscience at all.

slimikenna:

in any part of the civilised world...atleast the parts i know, you dont expect a pay if you did not work for it.

if kindness to you is that the strike should continue then I am happy you are not God and cannot judge my thoughts.

No Qualms:

Abegi, they knew all that before embarking on the strike..... They were prepared ....

unmask: ASUU met with the president true....but did they say they agreed with all he said? No.....instead they said they would take the matter back to their members and discuss the proposal, then get back to the president, which they did......This is in stark contrast to previous meetings where a brick wall was always met at said meetings

Iaz93: Agreement? That FG should pay them their salaries and allowances for the 5 months they didn't work? Isn't that plain selfishness? They shouldn't resume na... Adekunle Ajasin Univ. has started recruiting new lectures.

safarigirl: it's people like this that are calling ASUU selfish. Your own is just for them to call it off for 2 months so YOU can defend YOUR thesis, fuq all the other students who aren't on the verge of graduation, once you've graduated, ASUU can strike for 3 years if they like. Ask the #TeamASUUcalloffstrike and all you'll hear is "I want to graduate....I've not written 1st semester exam...age is not on my side...." selfish reasons. The FG, ASUU and students are ALL selfish

idara kriz: abeg no deceive ur self o.Most of my lecturers dnt have teaching as dia only source, besyds what have been hearin is their income income, dey r not fighting for any educational restructurin @ all! See dem for who dey r liars they r only using what dey can to make u sympathetic! Human nature is that of greed! As for d language to FG its like a child whining "mummy see" d mum has turned and look it aint dat interesting so d child keeps whining and she ignores buh is not ingnorant just dat d sounds are now so monotonous it has turned to a bakgrownd song!

Dj hack: what is this nefarious being saying? student selfish? Are we on free education? Idi*t we payed to learn, so tell me why we wouldn't wanna graduate.....I didn't wanna post buh assh*le lyk u pissed me off

agabaI23: They said they would get the message across because they were satisfied with what they were told as the reps. That meeting was unlike the previous meetings where they held press conferences immediately after the meeting to say the government was not serious or sincere, that's assuming you have been following things.

Sincere 9gerian: Once again the position of Sincere Nigerians on NL have been vindicated. Our positions on national issues are always born out of sincerity, patriotism and national interest. We represent NATIONAL development and progress, nothing more.

All Sincere Nigerians should once again take a bow!

Dannyxy: The most annoying thing is that most people supporting ASUU strike are not students, just sideliners... First all, you guys are saying that f.g should just sign the agreement, do you think such things are child's play?, an agreement that was made after a 13hour sitting, then goes ahead to ASUU breached it by coming with new demands, as in wth?.. They are requesting for their salaries arrears, "which is actually the bone of contention", should that even be a prioty now? we students sacrificed our time, money etc, why can't they overlook the money(which they didn't actually work for).. Please, it just goes to show that they were never fight for us(students), we the students have suffered enough, they should call the strike damn off..

unmask: all you said is the same as all I said..... and like I said before they were satisfied with what the president said, is still saying that they have an agreement they can finally present to their members to deliberate on

Mazi_Omenuko: For the interest of those listening; ASUU is not making any fresh demands after the 13 hour meeting with the president. All they are saying is that the agrrement of the meeting should be made binding by involving some important stakeholder from the finance sector to sign; datz all!

ASUU don't want to be played twice by the same govt. Sign the damn agreement and the schools will be opened; what's hard in that? If the govt is sincere, that agreement would have been signed already and the classes opened.

What GEJ expected was for ASUU to swallow his words hook, line and sinker and return to classes?

No way! Once beaten, twice shy!

yungryce:
& what hv dey achievd thus far? A backlog of salaries & a waiting sack. Try to use ur head once in a while even though i knw it might cause over heating

Sajio: .... Thank God u'v travelled out †̥ see for ur self... Did u ask the reason they are being paid such huge amount of money?? 1. They don't produce half-backed graduates †̥ their country. 2. They don't sell handouts †̥ their students. 3. They don't oppress the students. 4, they don't take bribe †̥ pass students. 5. They don't force their female student †̥ bed. 6. They are not curtist.7. They don't use 10yrs lesson note †̥ teach their student 8. They are proud of their job. 9.they are not lazy lecturers. Finally they are not greedy but contended with their pay... Plz learn †̥ be a good judge....

safarigirl: yes, new sub-standard lecturers who'll just turn out to be like Faggae and the rest in 5 years. When the likes of Wole Soyinka were lecturers in Nigeria there was a strike, FG threatened to sackand replace those who didn't return to class, the adamant lecturers were sacked and replaced with what we have now- greedy, lecherous men who get a kick out of sexually harrassing girls they can father. The purpose for the degenaration of our academic system was the selfish act of government. Educate yourself, demand the best, don't just cower and take whatever second-hand sh¡t they give you.

Tadon200:
guy it's not possible. am a student like you but I say never they must collect all ,what has f.g done for them? or they should go back to school on empty stomach. we are all in Nigeria and we know how it&s done. don't be gullible ,if you are not smart , people will cheat you.

cephaswizzy: very true, the pple that are supporting ASUU, must of them are not student
