MEET ASUU: NIGERIA'S BEST STRIKER
Being someone who has no interest in
football, asking me to mention Nigeria's
best striker, is like asking the proverbial
Hausa hen the way to the river (Ba a
tambayar kaza hanyar rafi). That's the
entertainment industry for you. But when we come down to the
Educational sector, where I am an active
participant, I can easily tell you within the
blink of an eye, that ASUU is the best,
unbeatable and number one 'striker' in
Nigeria. Born in 1978, ASUU started 'striking' at the
age of 10 -- in 1988. But because it was an
'amateur striker' then, ASUU was given
RED CARD on 7 August 1988 for stepping on
the toes of Gen. Babangida Maiwushirya
(the gap-toothed general). As a 'good striker', ASUU wasn't
discouraged by the red card, it
metamorphosed into ULA (University
Lecturers Association), under the
leadership of Prof. Attahiru Jega, the
present elections umpire. After so much 'off-the-pitch striking', the
red card was lifted in 1990, and ASUU
returned from 'injury leave' both physically
and mentally fit, ready to 'strike' again. On 14 May, 1992 ASUU did what it knows
how to do best -- it striked! This time the
strike was so unbearable that General
Maiwushirya had to issue another 'RED
CARD' to the striker. So ASUU was
proscribed for the second time on 23 August 1992. Ever since General Maiwushirya handed
over power, the striker has been striking
with impunity. He became so strong a
striker that he could maradonically break
the defense of General Maikwale (the face-
marked general) in 1994 and 1996! Having striked in tough military regimes,
the striker sees the civilian regime as a
walk over. That's why ASUU striked twice
in the tenure of Retired General Maitsagu
(Baba Iyabo) in 2002 and 2007. Determined to deal with the civilian
regime, the striker skillfuly broke the
defense of Late Alhaji Umaru Maidamanga
(the hand-knitted damanga cap) striking
twice - in 2008 and 2009. Having gained international recognition,
the striker sees the defense of Mr. Ebele
Maimalafa as that of TAHITI. While the striker scored two goals per president, Oga
Ebele's confused defense allowed him to
have a hat-trick (three goals) in 4 years!
One painful thing is that those goals were
scored consecutively -- 2011, 2012 and
2013! Now, ASUU has become so strong a
STRIKER that it can compete with
internationally renowned strikers such as
Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo and
Wayne Rooney!
ASUU, PROUDLY NIGERIAN!
