You mean like this? : https://www.nairaland.com/1471435/ASUU-strike-lecturer-speaks

I repeat, your problem is that you are used to only a certain type of lecturer from your alma mata.

Since you leveled two accusations against me, and as God would have it, my previous threads show the obvious errors in them, I will await your apology (if you have any shred of sincerity or decency).

prof.femi:


Well, I can tell you that your department is an exception then. I have never denied the existence of lazy, inept or corrupt lecturers. I have however always been quick to note that the system has, since the 80's, been unable to recruit and retain the best minds at graduation, and this goes a long way to explaining the epidemic of disgraceful lecturer conduct.

Having said all that, no one should be left in doubt about whether
(a) the system is better able to recruit good minds now than in the 90's
(b) facilities-wise, there has been a definite improvement
(c) funding has improved

My brother, all of these are due to ASUU's efforts. So, let us criticize the corrupt and inept lecturers. In fact, lets fire them (I mean that). But let us also recognize that ASUU, as a union, has been the *only* entity keeping FG honest on tertiary education.

adonismuller: your comments on this trend attacking students and making sentimental comments did not depict professionalism

...stop being greedy and Egocentric...

adonismuller: good,I commend your effort in that link,that's what I expected of u, be that as it may,your comments on this trend attacking students and making sentimental comments did not depict professionalism,

You should know that students are tired! Or if you were a student can you stay at home ƒσя 6 months without complains?

FG has tried by shifting grounds.you guys should stop being greedy and Egocentric....good9t to you!!!

Malawian:
which school gave you a professorship? what was their criteria? obviously it wasnt in being smart. the problem is that you met a president who is willing and have been trying to make the country a better place for our children. you failed generation will not leave without a fight.
as a "professor" what is the invention that can be attributed to you?

what have you given to the country as a "professor"

why not put in a job application to one of the numerous private universities and see if you will be successful.

texazzpete: You need to lay off him. He sounds like the real deal, exactly the type of lecturer we need to turn things around.

prof.femi:


Smile. Good luck trolling.

Malawian:

you still did not answer any question.

do i smell cowardice?

what is the invention that can be attributed to your "professorship" ?

professor of what if i may ask.

not a hard question to answer for an "intellectual" such as you.

olu_kenzo :
At this point, what I would have expected the smart ones amongst you to be doing is taking ASUU and FG to task on what is really needed for proper reforms. Surprisingly, you're not, probably because you don't see yourselves as stakeholders! It is a shame, really.

texazzpete:

To be fair, as a self proclaimed graduate, I expect a lot better from you. I expect market women to parrot the 'ASUU are greedy' mantra. Not someone who says he has been educated to MSc level.

Malawian: you still did not answer any question.do i smell cowardice?what is the invention that can be attributed to your "professorship" ?professor of what if i may ask.not a hard question to answer for an "intellectual" such as you.

prof.femi:


As I have said many times on this forum, I value my anonymity greatly. You don't need to know what I have invented etc. Weigh me by my posts, and if I am found wanting, say so.

Malawian: wow, an anonymous "professor". you just summed up yourself nicely.

prof.femi:


By the way, do you have something meaningful to add to the discussion, or are you just here to challenge my "professorship"?

Malawian: who gave you a "professorship"? shouldn't the FG be wary about the "quality" of our professors? just a simple question and you are beating about the bush. so this is how you lecture your students? how has the country benefited from your supposed "professorship"

Malawian:

wow, an anonymous "professor". you just summed up yourself nicely.

prof.femi:


Thanks my brother. In a particular series of posts, I even want as far as suggesting how students could do more to make their lecturers more accountable. However, Nigerian students are typically this way: just give 'em the easy route. In this case, all they want is:let me graduate on time ooo, it doesn't matter whether the education you're giving me is crap. It's so irritating seeing people deliberately close their minds to the truth.

olu_kenzo :


Of course. I was on the thread where students complained of randy and lazy academics and you suggested the use of IT to curb the excesses of such academics --a ratemylecturer.com, for example.

The problem of Nigeria/Nigerians stems from poverty, greed and cowardice, and hence misrulership. Get rich quick, awoof, bonus, buy one get ten free, God will save us, prayer is the key, my imam said, I assure you one cannot run out of examples to site. We need a total reform of the Nigerian mind, and it must start right from the home.

olabukola: what does it benefit you and your student brothers and sisters if the strike continues. The fed is not losing, ASUU are not losing rather the future generation of Nigeria.

Some unis has started already and those that refused to start are not doing their students any better.

Whether GEJ loss or win the next election it doesn't change anything in his life and their is no way anybody will read the history of Nigeria without mentioning his name.

We can't because GEJ is wrong and we keep on harming ourselves. At the end it doesn't make his wrong write and whatever harm we did to ourselves can never be reversed.

prof.femi:


So what's you point? Are you aware that FG has not said it has any problems paying the arrears? Are you aware that payment of the arrears is *standard* practice in labor issues in Nigeria? Why you guys want us to fight FG on both our behalves, but forfeit or salaries, I do not know.

Before you respond to that, can I quickly ask you: do you believe that ASUU is the only entity responsible for keeping school fees down? I often ask this question as a quick way of showing students that ASUU *does* fight for them.

olu_kenzo :
The Prof keeps taking these ungrateful Nigerian students and their guardians to the cleaners. Seriously, what's wrong with you people?! "a ntori aja n ja, aja ni talon ja lenkunle owun" The FG you so defend has never denied that the situation in the universities is not as ASUU calls it! The FG is just not perturbed enough to commit to the change required to bring them back from the brink of total collapse. Which is an aberration, really.

At this point, what I would have expected the smart ones amongst you to be doing is taking ASUU and FG to task on what is really needed for proper reforms. Surprisingly, you're not, probably because you don't see yourselves as stakeholders! It is a shame, really.

Olril18:

i hope next year or two,when ASUU embark on their annual "festival of strike" again,u will be here defending them.
ur post made it looks like dis is d first time they will go on strike,so hillarious..
there have been 9 months strike,6 months,4 months,5months,3 months and of course this one is currently in its 6th month,and surely it wont be the
last...so lets rejoice ,lets celebrate,atleast infrastructures in nigeria universities has improved from the previous strikes,and these strikes has made nigerian universities among the best in the world.
why can't we just agreed that strikes are part of the decay?? ..because next year ASUU will embark

on strike again!!

Orlando Owoh:
I now know why you are in a hurry to go to school, because you just gained admission to the multi-campus university, Osun State University, with over six campuses.

arsenesholer: . What's this simpleton saying? Over six campuses? Get your facts right next time,before you start making cretinous statements.

adonismuller: I knew you would be here..that's how you parade every ASUU post with your pessimistic comments.....sadist!!!

Olril18:
use ur dull head pls
like jonathan is the first president that ASUU wiil go on strike strike during their administration......u can blame jonathan but other previous president are as well to blame...
why now put all blame on jonathan?? when other previous presidents are equally as to blame because it is a problem that has been mounting from jonathan predecessors..
atleast if they have been equally sincere with the useless organisation called "ASUU" ,jonathan wouldnt have been met with what he is now being crucify for.
