donphilopus: Enough Is Enough na, why are they doing this na?? I don't like this na, they should try and suspend the strike and continue with their Negotiation

Iaz93: I don tire sef!!

smileoly:
Then by 2020,d negotiations will still be going on

Sunny_bobo: This people are obviously living in the stone age. Here in the UK, you don't get paid for any hour you are on strike.

Demdem: Kudos to ASUU. am really proud of them.
They shouldnt bother themselves with the no work no pay shyte.
Govt will still pay them and the years of allownaces being owned them not yet paid.
Those that were not paid for years in Unilorin were eventually paid in a day making them multi-millionaires even though they were teaching in other Unis.
No work no pay no matter how honourable it is isnt the solution, the solution is the implementation of signed agreement. its honourable on the part of govt to honour her part of the agreement and let ASUU also honor hers
A labourer is entitled to his wage. let Govt Pay ASUU what is being owned them in allowances over the years and see ASUU get back to classes. Failure to do that, i dont expect them in there.

onyxo76: i was a witness to the rally organized by ASUU OAU branch which took place this morning in ile-ife. i had a chance to listen to prof olorode -a one time JACON member. he mentioned something that you all condemn this strike should think about. whether you like it or not,the govt is looking for ways to privatize tertiary education just the way primary and secondary education has become presently .
you may not realize it,but the decay and rot has become something else, students live and study under terrible conditions yet FG doesn't care.
why does cambridge uvi budget $2.3 billion for 2013 and FG plans to spend a miserable $2.1 billion for 39 fed uni, fed polys, unity schools for 2013. currently we allocate 8.5% to education when its meant to be 26%-UNESCO. i am not a lecturer but work in the system as a non academic, its just unfortunate that ASUU had to take these measures to press home its demands . we only hope the govt honors what it signed in 2009 after all they were not cajoled to sign the agreement. to buy 2 bullet proof vehicles at 255 million naira or increase lawmakers allowances happens easily but to improve our education sector is a very big deal.

Idi Amin: I had wanted to rebuke you but a second look at your last paragraph stopped me. Those foools need to go back to job market. Only then will they realize the effect of their stupidity and selfishness on the future leaders of Nigeria. They don't work but they expect salaries. Idiioots

Promhize: God punish this idiots. I was almost supporting them but on a second thought, this guys are greedy old men, destroying students lives with no sense of regret.

Why can't they just sue the FG since it was an agreement, wait let me guess, they don't want to spend their money, but they can waste students lives without twitching an eye.
We always blame FG, but these lecturers are as worse as the politicians themselves, I can bet that over 40% (esp Professors, Dr) are not in Nigeria as we are speaking, we complain that our politicians children aren't schooling in Nigeria but these greedy men are not different, even the son of Ondo state's deputy governor schools at OAU - tell me why he would want to send any of his child to FG universities later.

I just don't understand, this idiots are fighting for their pockets - for bigger offices, ac fitted - not students. I school in OAU and I'm not complaining, in-fact, no student is complaining. OAU increased Acceptance fee from 2000naira to 20,000naira, a whooping 1000% increase, when we students protested they advised us to stop and called us all sorts.

No lecturer supported students. For Pre-degree programme, the fee is over 150thousand naira, to write post utme, you'd have to pay over 3000naira, to check you'd have to pay over 3000naira, pls where do you think all these money is going to. Its not like we are given free food or learning materials.

This lecturers sit in AC tight offices, travel anyhow even during school semesters all in the name of research, the same lecturers fighting for students will come back from trips in the middle of semesters and give students only course outline and ask us to go learn ourselves.

Same lecturers demanded more than once that their retirement age be extended when millions of graduates are out of work. They want allowance because they are teaching more than 1 course, these same men and women of no reputable standard went to school on scholarship, with free food, books, and so on.

Damn ASUU and their sympathisers. They sit in AC tight offices with numerous gadgets when ordinary ceiling fans in students room aren't working.

They collect hundreds of millions in different fees but must new classrooms in OAU are built by Private companies and individuals such as first bank.

PeeDaVinci: afaik, No Work No Pay Rule is the rule in the western countries, so, i guess they are barbaric. imo, you should only be paid for the number of days you work. i am aware that this gives the govt some undue privileges, but i believe fair is fair, you dont work, you dont eat.
the fight to save the university should not be fought in collaboration with all the stakeholders in university education- students, nasu, parents, even industries. and in case they are not really willing to be part of the fight, there are ways that ASUU can use to force them to join in this fight without going on strike "technically" e.g. delaying exams indefinitely because of some course modules that can not be taught given the current funding, not releasing exam results, slowing down the curriculum, giving students assignments that cant be solve because of university funding, not graduating students etc.

Idoko solomon: ASUU should know that they are suffering students of public Universities.They should have a rethink for the seek of Nigeria students.

wesley80:
You know there's a problem when savages are accusing others of barbarism! Intellectuals indeed.
