He thinks he's got d balls, I doubt

CilicMarin:
Way to go!

i swear

you can't force ASUU to resume..

Those ASUU lecturers never ready to resume class but want to be collecting monthly salary.

Those are people producing the crops of our Politicians

osamz007:
you can't force ASUU to resume..

And yet they want to be collecting salary for months they did not work for?

Except if the EBSU lecturers have secured new job at a filling station, tell them not to resume

So he knows has all this solution yet he allows things to degenerate to this level. Ndi ara. ASUU is the only union that u can't bend anyhow... Unilorin is a good case study

The cancellers you just wiped out his cancellation has resumed with new monikers

In addition, 8x324 is on standby... Also if that could be wiped out as well

osamz007:
you can't force ASUU to resume..

but they are collecting monthly salary

Northerners, the end protests is not against Buhari or the north, it's against bad government and police brutality, don't let anyone breed hate among us using religion or tribe, we just want the killings, kidnappings, extrajudicial killings etc to stop all over Nigeria... I don’t know why y’all think we’re fighting against the north...

Amidst this hot overturn

I hope his children attend the school

OK

Good one Umahi.. Okezie are you seeing your mates?
Bello did same in kogi.. ASUU is useless to states.. If ASUU hadn't been on strike the youths won't be available to cause carnage

This is a nice idea... Idleness has forced so many youths to the streets while they should be working towards their academic pursuits.

ASUU lecturers are still collecting salaries but refused to resume even when primary and secondary schools have already resumed. Between adults and children, who can manage Covid-19 better? Useless and lazy bunch of people!

Power for power.

Acting above his powers.
Something no president had ever tried that I know.
Why do I think he doesn't have sense?

Lol

Let him keep proscribing. This tyrant attitude of Buhari that has never benefitted him is what all these morons keep copying

This man is a total illiterate.

He doesn't even know his boundary.

Major General Umahi is a clown.

Make una tell am to work on the street alone for 2 hours

Raw one

PraiselyPraise:
Which brand of ogogoro this man dey take?

Clown

Instead of restoring nolmalcy
