ARE YOU A NIGERIAN?
DO YOU READ AT ALL?
CAN JONATHAN JUST SIGN WHAT HE HAS PROMISED?

Mandelaguy:

Here comes the resident retard on Nairaland with his i.mbecilic comments as usual.
President Jonathan is the first president to enter into direct negotiations with ASUU. He didn't do it out of weakness but a genuine desire to end the strike and get Nigerian students back to school.

It took the President 13 hours to reach a feasible agreement with ASUU (while you were asleep) and they had an understanding which includes a variation of the unimplementable 2009 agreement that ASUU reached under Yaradua.

President Jonathan told ASUU (and the facts are verifiable) that he is the president who has invested more in Education than any other.
He told them that he increased Education funding in the Budget from below 300B to 450 B. he also specialized tertiary funding through TETFUNDS.

He has undertaken the establishment of 12 new Federal universities to ensure that no state in the federation is deprived.
Since the strike started, FG has committee 100B for infrastructure and 30 B for earned allowances (no other administration has done this much)
In the same meeting, President said that despite the increased budgetary funding to Education by 450B, he will also mobilise 200 B in fulfillment of the agreement for the next 4 years.

So what is ASUU's problem? Since you were born, have you heard of any President that offered this much to ASUU just to call off a strike?
It's so unfortunate that politics has beclouded our sense of reasoning in this country.
President GEJ has tried, let FG go ahead to reopen the schools and it will be a popular move as you can see from comments on this thread

Richiy: Imagine that your boyfriend/fiance/husband that you trusted so much went behind ur bk and cheated. You found out and 'went on strike'. After he 'repented', and brought his folks for negotiations, would you just jump into his arms? Wont you make very sure, ie if you want him bk, that what hapnd b4 would'nt happen again? You would check every line and angle b4 making you decision ryt? That is the exact thing ASUU is trying to do. Once bitten, twice shy.

Sermwell:

Abeg which uni be dat? Hope its UNIBEN ooo cuz I just can't wait to resume!

Mcbussy: ASUU is over-doing dis strike of a thing,but i pity those student that feel sacking d lecturers would be a way forward....do u know how long it would take to overhaul and re-staff d number of public universities we have in Nigeria? ......just pray ASUU agrees to suspend d strike.

prem love: since you know much why cant our esteem presido put wat he say to paper so that we student all cant see it or is the president afraid of writing

eagle,eye:
call it whatever you like, the guy is right. It is high time we started holding the guys in power accountable.
So, you prefer ASUU go back to classes based on verbal assurance from FG?
You want them to go back to classes knowing fully well that GEJ may renege on his promises? SMH

addictiv: Very foolish politicians.who will conduct interview for the new recruits? The same lecturers that are on strike or the VC himself and his non academic staff? or ll they use dragnet? like say na company work.....mtcheewww.
Some folks think we are in disney...

adeMUMUpojuot: Wetin Jonathan fit do?employ new lectures or what...

eagle,eye:

Use of gutter language comes natural to those who are afraid of facing the truth and reality.
Did I even quote you.

Sermwell: you are talking trash! So you think its all lecturers that will refuse to work?? Sit there and be decieving yourself! By this order by the FG, some lecturers are already having a rethink! Trust me, over 60percent of lecturers will still be willing to work!

taharqa: Who told you it has not been 'signed'?? The Agreement reached with d President has already been sent, and signd by d Permanent Secretary, Min of Education. ASUU is howeva just insisting that it shld be signd by d Attorney-General of d Federation. I read this in one of d Papers this morning. OR wait, you are want/expected d President himself to sign an agreement?.... I am not even sure they are signing another MOU altogether; the problem is that ASUU is astonishingly hoarding Info on d process, such that most people don't even know what they want again. Their NEC meeting in Kano for instance, was held under an ultra-secret place and environment, such that NO single Newspaper still know what reali went on in that meeting, except from crumbs of Info from 'Anonymous Sources'!! Want is ASUU reali up to? Want do they reali want, now ie what are their current demands? Why all d Secrecy and Shenanigans??

Demdem:

What's ur business with that? Are u the FG that employed them. If the FG deemed it fit to share such details, she will. U aren't a member of ASUU and its not ur business.
If wike feels this fourth demand is the problem, let him speak out and say so. In the absence of that, its mere speculations.

ugopeter: And the award for the Most Stupid Nairalander goes to....wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... DemDem for his stupid comments so far on this topic

Promhize:

That was clearly a typo, think whatever you want. There are only few special Professors in Nigerian Universities. People that copy materials online, even questions.

Not everyone is interested in doing masters, only to go and start hustling for job again. If I would, it most certainly won't be in Nigeria.

Demdem: Foolish Govt.

Its obvious they arent interested in fulfilling any agreement. Either the one signed in 2009 or the MOU signed in 2012 or even the promises of

Jonathan after several hours of meeting with them of recent. If Jonathan is serious, why cant he sign and make his commitments on paper for all

to see and monitor. All hail ASUU, they have mastered the way of holding the govt by its balls. It will be extremely foolish for them to go back to

classes knowing fully well that Jonathan wont do as promised. Their strike and death of Iyayi would have been in vain. I expect the strike to

continue. ASUU never shut down any school, Those that shut down the schools are opening it back, so no qualms.

Billyonaire: Our utmost priority as a people is to make sure the schools are opened so the students can get back to learning. The President has unarguably consulted all channels of diplomacy and engaged all fronts to get these gang of edu-robbers back in classes, but ASUU fails to be reasonable in their mountains of demands.

By this pronouncement, lecturers should resume their jobs and NUC should monitor them strictly and fire under-performers.
