So??

naija2dabone:

Dear God,

You are the Almighty God. You are God all by yourself. No one elected you and no one can impeach you.

I pray for your son Jonathan, who is faced with principalities and powers that have held this nation down in backwardness and darkness for decades. These demons now bear various names including ASSU, Boko Haram, NPDP, APC, northern Elders forum, NGF, etc. All these demonic wickedness in high places have one common mission: to stop your son Jonathan from completing his transformation programme come 2015.

Dear lord, in whatever way/form they come against your son, let them fall in shame. Let their wicked imagination not see the light of the day, Let their evil plot backfire and may they never see the throne of this nation.

Throw your weight around oh God and let them know there is a God in heaven who rules in the affairs of men.

Thank you lord.
In Jesus name

**Screams a big Amen!!!!**

Sincere 9gerian: The problem with some Nigerians is their selective approach to issues. We all read the report about the UK lecturers going on strike. How many days did the strike last? Just one day. Was the demands of the lecturers met while the strike lasted? Are the UK lecturers not aware that they can also go on indefinite strike the Nigerian way? So why didnt they use that approach?

Since you and I criticise out political leaders for not copying the RIGHT things from the western world, why not our lazy lecturers? Why is what is good for the goose not also good for the gander? Where else in the world would labour leaders shut the door of the universities for months, claiming to be fighting for improved quality of higher education? You killed education for months in the name of fighting for better education? How does that add up?

More over, ASUU has been embarking on strike since the late 70s, but decades after we'r still on the same issue. So what has changed? Motion without movement.

I dont believe in half-measures. If we want to solve the problems in our universities, we have to do it whollistically. ASUU is not part of that whollistic solution because they'r part of the problem. I will not support ASUU because the so called 2009 does not address the problems in our universities. We need to tell our selves the truth and do the RIGHT thing, which is complete autonomy of the universities (not the type ASUU is asking for). Govt should establish students loans or whatever to help those who cannot meet up with the increment of schools that will follow real autonomy. The FG govt universities will still get grants but these grants will be fixed by the NASS and will not be subject to labour dispute. ASUU should be proscribed. All labour disputes should be handled locally.

As long as we dont do the right thing, we will soon be back to square one- another strike

Do you know you just spewed rubbish, please type ASUU please call off strike. I ll also advise you use this strike to study Brighter Grammar. #mythought.

yeye people, mtcheew.

joke of the day'
Akpos,Tito and John decided to go to China for vacation.
Since they were new to the place they had to stay in a hotel. And their room was on the 60th floor.
The policy of the hotel was that atmiidnight the elevators were shut down.
The next day, the guys rented a car and explored the city.
They enjoyed themselves and arrived at the hotel after midnight.
The elevators were shut down.
There was no other way to get to their room but to climb the stairs all the way to the 60th floor.
John said, ”’for the first 20 floors, I will tell jokes to keep us going.
Then Tito can say wise stories for the next 20 floors and lastly, we will cover the final 20 floors with sad stories from Akpos.”
So,John started with jokes. With laughs and joy, they soon reached the 20th floor.
Tito started saying stories full of wisdom. They learned a lot before they reached the 40th floor.
Now it was time for sad stories.
So, Akpos started: ‘My first sad story is that I left our room key in the car’.’ what do u think happened next?

take dat: Your master was one of them before he joined the looting political class, and stumbled upon sudden and unaccountable wealth. He has expanded his appetite through corruption. If ASUU did not embark on strike, would Government dangle the new offer of N1.1trillion to the universities, 4 years after signing an agreement? Why did government wait for ASUU to embark on strike, before it occurred to them that there is an urgent need to inject more funds into the university system? Would Jonathan and the other ruling class wait for 4 years before receiving their earned allowance(s)?

I honestly believe ASUU should soften on her demands, and call off the strike solely because of the plight of the parents and students and not because of some irresponsible crooks in government who went ahead to sign an agreement, only to renege later and started acting like they are the real victim.

I see you referencing the UK lecturers! Is the UK government as irresponsible as that of ours? You can only use crude tactics to deal with an irresponsible government.

i think ur fada is part of d ASUU striking for his pockets

ASUU should know dat wickedness is bad.

UJ, the great! Am feeling you!

gbam u are so on point

mumumugu: Notherners generally dont like education.not suprised

on point

chai! This thread has been 'politicized'

taharqa: So regardless of how Ridiculous and unimplementable an agreement is, d Government should somehow 'implement' it cos Govt is a continuum?? What kind of a logic is that? When you talk or pursue a cause, is yr intend to solve the problem Or to Emphasize d problem by talking/agitating on it? Again, I ask @take dat: hv you read the Agreement, and does it make complete sense to you??

I seriously dont understand the way a lot of people pick somethings at time, the agreement was arrived at base on the standard protocol of the western nation as Nigeria wants to be "western" in their academic. These people that signed the agreement were in their right sense and beside the so call Jona was in the government for crying out loud! Let call a spade a spade.

ASUU as a matter of respect and the fact that Mr. President will still be in government for the next one year thereabout give him the reasonable doubt and suspend this ridiculous strike at least fro the sake of student and parent.

I don't just care how the matter is resolved. All I wanna hear is

Breaking News: ASUU strike suspended. #shikena

And that is the end of the matter. Well said bro.

Is this not the Education section? Why does it feel like the politics section? What's with the plenty arguments and long posts? All I know is that ASUU should not go on strike again. They should make sure they get everything they want once and for all, then call-off the strike and not suspend it again.

Enough of this back and forth, biko.

L.M Ayedun..:
Lecturers at the University of Jos have voted for continuation of the on-going strike by the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in the country.

Chairman of the chapter, Dr. David Jankam who made this known on Monday while speaking with THE NATION shortly after the congress of the chapter said members did not see any substance in the dialogue with the federal government to warrant calling off the strike.

According to Dr Jankam, “We have just rounded off our meeting, as a matter of fact our members voted overwhelmingly for the continuation of the state strike.

“I can also confirm to you that five of the eight universities that made up the Bauchi Zone of ASUU has also voted for continuation of the strike, and the general saying is that the federal government has not shown any commitment so far.

“We started the meeting by briefing our members on issues resolved with the federal government in their last meeting with the president of ASUU.

“But in responding to the briefing, our members observed that the main issues that led to the strike were not discussed as part of the meeting in Aso Rock.

“As such my members said president Jonathan is taking them for a ride by trying to divert attention from the core subjects of the strike”

According to Dr. Jankam, “I will now convey the resolve of our branch to our national president in our NEC meeting scheduled for this week. If the majority of the chapter voted for call off, it will ne called off, but if majority of chapters voted for continuation, so be it” said Dr. Jankam.

Nawa ooooo

Sincere 9gerian:
I should have known you'r one of those lazy, unpatriotic, corrupt bunch, who call themselves ASUU. ASUU has been going on strike since the late 70s but what has changed? Only fools keep doing the same thing while expecting different result. Yeye!

so according to your logic we should all give up...Bro, the system must change whether you like it or not

I do my best not to get fixated on any one individual on Nairaland, but I've got to say I just can't understand what makes people like you tick. Obviously intelligent enough to know your left from your right, yet, ceaselessly stoking fires, and resorting to political explanations for the simplest things. Perhaps I would be better educated about your motives if I tried to get a larger sample of your posts, but I unfortunately do not have time for that. All I have come to realize is that your choice of the handle "sincere_9gerian" must be a sort of private joke, because your arguments are usually anything but sincere! Mostly well-articulated, yes, but sincere? Not at all.

For example:

I find it incredible that mere 'seconds' after an ASUU strike forced the FG to promise the injection of 220B 1.1 Trillion into the universities, you can make this lame argument. Is it that you just can't compute the fact, or is it so inconvenient for you to admit that an ASUU strike achieved results? If you don't work in a university, perhaps you should ask people who do. The fact is, ASUU STRIKES HAVE BEEN LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STATE OF THE UNIVERSITIES. I should expect that a smart person like you would realize that, but noo, you have your ax to grind with ASUU, and the truth must also die in the process.

Well my friend, posterity will judge us all. Being intelligent is not enough. One also needs to be sincere. Perhaps you are one of those who gets so invested in a political position (or a job to spread propaganda?!) that no casualty is too big. Let me tell you, every man who fails to occasionally ask himself whether his stand is *still* a stand for truth, will ultimately be viewed by history as a wasted life. That, irrespective of his IQ or his status in life. Stop misleading our youth.
