Chidera Favour: I don't understand the stand of federal government again, what is too hard in what ASUU have said? Fg promised to be giving ASUU 220b yearly for five years and ASUU accepted it just that it must be in written form and sign by different corporation(central Bank and co.), secondly, their four months salary must be paid to them. Then if government is really serious about Nigerian student why can't they pay ASUU their four months salary and let the suposed corporation to sign the agreement? And everybody is busy pouring blame and insult on ASUU, please lets call a spade a spade. Okay even if they succeed in sacking all the lecturers and employ new ones won't they be paying them? won't they be spending in renovating schools if the need arise? Yes I am 200L student been affecting by this strike but am not siding government in this things, I don't see anything too hard in those ASUU's conditions
Thank you jare. I pitty those students taking sides with the govt. This is the most morally debased govt we've ever had in this country. What is the essence of calling off a four months old industrial action if it doesnt achieve its objective at the end? The govt hurriedly released and disbursed 30bill in erned allowances hoping 'once you put money in the greedy men's pockets, they'd go back to the classrooms'. But to their utter shock and disapointment, the strike isnt just about money in the pockets! It's about good hostels, adequate lecture rooms, well equiped labs and libraries, aestetically pleasing campuses, and the general welbeing of the universites. These are issues the govt would rather not want the average nigerian to have so they can perpertually maintain the posture of gods in our eyes and should they depart the world, their children, whom they sent abroad to acquire the best education the world can offer, could take over from where they left off leaving us with no chance of taking leadership positions. This explains why they would rather maintain status quo. Giving us the best would pose a threat to their lifestyle, cos nigerians would then be able to distinguish between good and bad. ASUU isnt making any new demands as wike, okukpe et al have been lieing to nigerians. What they ask for is that govt signs the agreement both parties reached, simple.

Your reasoning surprised me. I would have thought you will do like other children who foolishly imagine vain things.
If any should trust Jonathan administration, ask MANITOBA, The Canadian electricity giant company that successfully sign the TCN WITH. JONATHAN ADMINISTRATION, BUT JONATHAN CANCELED THE CONTRACT IN ABOUT 4 Month without any TANGIBLE REASON. How much much more the ASUU AGREEMENT THAT IS NOT SIGN. IF THE FOREIGN INVESTORS SEE THIS THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE AFRAID, EXCEPT THE CHINESE, INDIANS, LEBANESE ETC. WHO WILL BRIBE THERE WAY THROUGH. THESE GOVERNMENT CHARACTERISTICS IS NEVER STRAIGHT FORWARD.

Bishop Magic:

Dont play politics with everything. These men have been compromised and they dont care a hoot about the ramifications of their strike on the polity.

Does ASUU think they are the only ones working in this country?
This generation of students has since gone to the dogs. ASUU can never try this in the 90's. Now all you have are silly brats protesting over the loss of Swaggz to their school due to renaming.
cant try what in the 90s? FUTMInnna ASUU went on strike for the whole of 1993, just for them to resume and join national ASUU strike for another one year in 1994. so, in the 1990s, i personally spent 2 years at home due to ASUU strike

there is no such thing as something for nothing
ASUU went on strike to achieve something, they have almost achieved it,there is no reason to demand salaries when it was clearly stated
NO WORK NO PAY
let them forgo the salaries as a something they gave up to achieve their goal
if the fg pays those salaries, they would belittle themselves because a law is a law
ASUU rants bout Democracy,if they are doing things the Democratic way,let them obey the law,they are not above it.

For those that voted for Goodluck Jonathan, i hope you have all seen the harm done by you.Hence you've caused the nation more harm than Good. Gej has always been inexperience, incapable, insufficient and independable. what dividence of democracy have you achieved under his ill-fated administration. so so looting, no judgement/justice. just making the masses feel more pains from the academic sector to aviation to petroluem to power even to federal roads. lastly in the words of FELA i ask, which can government be this?

The various chapters have said they did NOT mention the clause in the voting process. It was added by the leadership of ASUU

Welcome son of the father of lies. You think everybody will fall to your deception. So those lecturers as experienced as they are will not understand signing. Even as student you sign agreement with students affair department, talkless of a promise of 1.1 trillion naira. I wish and I WISH YOU WILL BE DOING SUCH BUSINESSES IN LIFE WITHOUT SIGNING AGREEMENT.

Re: ASUU To Parents: Keep Your Children At Home by ibnakogun: 12:49pm On Dec 02, 2013
This administration will end up with the most irresponsible government award. Deals with polytechnic lectures unfulfilled, with resident doctors voice mail, what about NEPA hanging. Assu will be very silly to call off the strike if there demands are not meet in totality. Only a nation where the minister of education worship in the shrine of hepopotamus and shepopotamus will you want to sack striking lectures when you already have a shortage of 61,000 lectures even with the status quo.

luvinhubby: ASUU is claiming democracy when it's national executive is grossly undemocratic.
42 out of 61 chapters voted against the strike, why continue? undecided
my dear ASUU learn from the presidency. In Gov's forum saga, the presidency proofed to us that 16 is greater than19. In Rivers state house of assenbly, 5 is greater than 27. So are suprised with ASUU? So pls dont blem them. I think leadership shld be by example not by sentiments.

Re: ASUU To Parents: Keep Your Children At Home by debrights(m): 1:08pm On Dec 02, 2013
ASUU's warning is just to put fear in the parents. This advice is carefully coined for their own interest(selfish). They(ASUU) won't do anything to students.. after all Police men have been posted to secure students(unless ASUU wants to go violent,which I think won't happen). Am in support of re-opening the universities.

Nevertheless,this supposed lecturers called ASUU who are pushing this strike are only but a few. In a university with 100 lecturers(the strong ASUU members may just be five(5)). Majority of the lecturere are tired of this whole thing and want to go back. I called my course adviser some days back and he told me that he wants us to come back to school and so are others. Many (Lecturers) are Of the opinion that the strike be called because their executive members have over-stretched it beyond their expectatio.

Re: ASUU To Parents: Keep Your Children At Home by chiwex(m): 1:27pm On Dec 02, 2013
One question we have to answer is, River state House of Assembly that had been idle for over 7 months now, are they still receiving their salaries and allowances? if they are still receiving (which I believe is right answer), what stop FG paying lecturers their four months salaries and allowances? If the FG did not pay this salary, the student will do indirectly, the issue of blocking lecturers will be raise to power 99 (Lecturers too need money for their upkeep) ie the students will made to bear all the consequences (they had been denied education, their year of graduation shifted, house rent expired, and now they want to pay lecturers).

my fellow Nigerians, is either FG have shared lecturers salaries among themselves or FG is truly broke because of mismanagement and corruption of impunity. And thats y they are afraid to sign the new agreement. Dont forget that ASUU shifted ground from N400b to N200b ( short changed the masses) and still they cannot afford it, release the one u promised and u are threatening the masses which are the end product of the N200b.

I did not see any new demand from what ASUU is asking, the said N200b is not for ASUU but for the whole society (when they the money is released, VC's and NUC not ASUU, will use it to improve facilities and environment of learning, these will in turn improve the quality of our students/graduates and in the long run, the quality students produced will improve our society (which is You and I). it pains me when some some people out of sentiment and tribes use the word 'ASUU's Demand' or 'ASUU politics'. The demand is for US for the benefit and improvement of US the society - from Sociological perspective/reasoning.

THANKS.

Better look for another source of funding. This model is unsustainable not with our run-away population growth. I can't imagine why after 50 years you guys are still tied to the government's apron strings. That's why your products are of little use to the country. Because the country doesn't fund them. Create products that industry needs and industry will fund the process, the universities. Think outside the box. Afterall you are the best brains.

I don't know how to quote people but i would have ask dose dat are viewing ASUU as a saint,what ASUU have been doing with all d money dey've been collecting since d era of babangida.in d lab in my skul there are instruments dated 1990.so what have been happening 2 all d money ASUU have been collecting from then till date or is my school not a Nigerian university? Let share dis blame equally.some of our senators don't come 2 sitting or come@will yet dey get paid so also my GNS lecturer who came 2 d class 4 just 2 times in a semester get paid.If ASUU wants 2 fight 4 their right let dem do so justifiably without competiting with gov't officials because 2 me,dey're both partners in crime.

Its time for the federal to check mate the activities of lecturers in our school, govt should pull stringent disciplinary measures against lecturers that collect bribe to pass students, molest our girls, most lecturers don't come to class yet earning fat pay....all this useless lecturers should be fished out and sacked....i hate when ASUU is agitating rather than cleansing themselves of shame meted to students.

All roads leads to university campuses nation-wide on the 4th of december, nigerian students are not timid and can not be subjected to any form of threat from ASUU. if any new-ASUU member misbehaves with any student, the spirit of ALUTA shall be invoked and unleashed on such enemy of progress decisively.

students shld knw dat FG is trying 2 make sure d whole thing dont bounced back on them (students) especially those in state universities. How many state universities 'll be able 2 pay the salaries of their lecturer if FG approve ASSU's demand, are u sure this 'll not lead to increment of school fees? So many state universities can not pay salaries of their lecturers If FG approves ASSU's demand. Don't be surprise when u start paying 350 - 400k school fee as a state university student. ASSU are fighting for their selfish interest not for ur good.

A puzzling question for me is if ASUU is such a force for good in university education, then why is it that there are NO ASUU chapters in private universities? Or are private universities better funded and equipped than the public ones?

Hypothetically speaking, if any of you owned a university, would you allow your lecturers to unionize under ASUU?
