After almost two months of near silence,the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) finally woke up from their slumber and has given the Federal Government and ASUU one week ultimatum to end the prolong industrial action. Only recently,FG had claimed that ASUU had been infiltrated by the opposition,i guess it's safe to say that NANS seems to have taken sides or could it be that they too had been infiltrated.

Peeved by almost two-month old strike
by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS),
yesterday issued a one-week ultimatum
to the Federal Government and the
union’s leadership to resolve their
differences or face serious consequences.
The students said if the impasse was not
resolved within the next seven days, it
will mobilise students on a nation-wide
riot in what it described as ‘operation
occupy Nigeria’. The students’ body
appealed to ASUU to return to the
classroom and continue negotiation with
the Federal Government since the latter
claimed to have released over N100
billion for infrastructural development and
another N30 billion for allowances. This
was the highpoint of a protest by the
students who blocked the Asaba end of
the River Niger Bridge to press home
their demands. The protest caused traffic
snarl for several hours as the students
stalled movements to the eastern part of
the country even as those returning were
barred. NANS coordinator in the South-
South and South-East, Comrade Chinonso
Obasi, stated that students were at the
receiving end of the strike and vowed
that they would take their destinies in
their own hands if the parties failed to
reconcile within a week. “We are
appealing to ASUU that since the Federal
Government has been able to release
N100 billion for infrastructural
development and N30 billion for
allowance, they should go back to
classroom and continue their negotiation
or agitation. This is our prayer and wish.
“We are giving them one week to open
the schools or be ready to face corrosive
consequences in form of nation-wide
demonstration and riots. We are ready to
mobilise for that and it will be operation
occupy Nigeria,” he said. Lamenting the
effect of the strike, Obasi said students
have become prone to accidents on the
highways and the female students have
been reduced to s*x hawkers on the
streets. His words: “I stand to tell you
that a lot of accidents have been recorded
and 99.9% of the victims are Nigerian
students. If they were in classrooms, they
would not have fallen victims of road
crashes. “Our female students have
become commercial s*x hawkers on the
streets in order to make ends meet. This
colossal effect is more than what ASUU is
agitating for. Hence, we can no longer
fold our arms and watch things go
wrong.” (SunNewsOnline)

Great

It's obvious that over here in Nigeria, government woun't take action unless there is a riot or protest. This confirms the concept that one of the ways of influencing government is through mob actions

my brother are you sure this protest will yield a positive result. I just hope this doesn't lead to the death of our students cos our police are not the best in controlling angry protesters.

I for sure will not be joining the protest. You only live once YOLO

Peaceful protest especially by students does not always end in peace.

This ASUU/Fg conundrum is an enigma to me.Our educational system is in the state of quagmire and doldrums, as far as i am concerned a country that doesn’t pay attention to her educational sector that country is already experiencing hell on planet earth.Corruption is a major factor militating against Nigerian growth and development, Fg is corrupt and ASUU too are corrupt individuals.ASUU will collect that money from the FG and in the end they will still collect money from students and dash them As just like that,they harrass girls, collect sorting infact most of them doesn’t even come to class to lecture, I’m crying for my country Nigeria because I’m so afraid that even God may find it cumbersome tor change this country.

I have not in any way said am not partaking in the protest, my only fear is that if we must protest, then it should be a peaceful one and not an avenue to perpetuate violence.

Its time to occupy 9ja again...aluta continua victoria acerta

Am not trying to sound violent or like a gangstar, ya'll should count me out until we are ready to protest with our tools...as we dey waka for road we go they throway 4 air make 'em sabi say boiz still dey around...no level 4 AK.

SUPPORTED!!!
But NANS, we need bulletproofs oo. 'd police is our friend' is only in d books. its either we run wen dey come out or we stand and defy them wit our bulletproof or we die or we return fire for fire.

Let the revolution begin!

i can wait to see wat happens

ALUTA CONTINUA

If only we had vibrant oncompromising human rights activists. This is when we need them most but we can't see them lending their voices in support of the students

No matter what it takes, let us all affected students come out enmasse.......if they will kill us let them do it.......maybe we shall become 21st century saints......lol

Seems everyone is bracing up for that day.my fellow student,this is suppose to be a peaceful protest.let us try as much as possible avoid violence in order not to witness a repeat of the scenerio that played out when the Delta state chapter of NANS went on protest

tandric: i can wait to see wat happens
