Nuzo':
The biggest lie the trade union called ASUU had ever told to anyone who cared to listen was that they were fighting for the quality of education for students.

The same students they've turned to slaves in their respective schools. Sex slaves, labor slaves, financial slaves. Comply or fail!

Over 70% of the lecturers are openly involved in this business of forcing students to either sleep with them/sort their courses or fail....only to turn around and claim they are fighting for the students.

Government has also not helped matters cos if they had not neglected their responsibilities of properly funding the universities over the years, ASUU wouldn't have used the welfare of students as their defense for their real motive.

The first step to attaining quality education in our schools again is not infrastructure or whatever. It's by prosecuting all lecturers who are involved in sex or money for marks.

Have you forgotten some of the students engage in cultism, prostitution, over-partying, damaging and theft of school property etc ? They are as much a part of the problem as lecturers are ?

Seriously

All will be well !

hmmmmmmmm

take dat: The university only resumed on the 25th of November, and can only sack the striking lecturers if they failed to resume on that particular 25th of November.
http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/11/21/ASUU-strike-aaua-pulls-out-of-union-orders-students-to-resume-on-monday/

If the university held its 'Opening Ceremony of a two-day orientation programme organized by the Institution for the new academics' last week monday(25th of November), that is the same day the school resumed. It is impossible that the school recruited the new lecturers to replace the striking ones, because as at 25th of November(resumption date), the school wasn't sure of how many lecturers would turn up for work in order to decide on recruiting new lecturers to replace them and for the institution to hold its opening day for the new academics on the 25th November, it means the school must have concluded the recruitment process long before the 25th of November, so they were not recruited to replace striking lecturers. The story from Daily Post doesn't add up. Its more likely the institution only recruited 'more' lecturers.

The VC also 'commended them for being found worthy of employment after rigorous interviews'. It shows that the recruitment exercise started long ago(anyone familiar with recruitment process would know it takes a long time), making it doubtful that the were recruited to replace the striking lecturers.

No lecturer in aaua has been sacked. This story in daily post is a big lie. Hmm. Lecturers are yet to process the last semester results and u think if they are sacked, what will happen to the results of student in their possession? Do u think the university is willing to rerun a whole semester again? I have met the new recruited lecturers and trust me how many do u think the are that they can replace the ones on ground? 99 per cent of through recruited lecturers are masters holders with no single experience. The ones who came around that I saw, I doubt if they would be even be able to hold their own in any serious conversation talkless of teaching students. We need a lot of people in different departments because the work is already killing. The university needs more hands and that is what the vc has just done. He has recruited more people to cater to the challenging tasks in the institution. No body has been sacked. I wonder where daily post got the lies from. The foolish sincere9gerian is already jubilant on a fake story. Come to aaua tomorrow and see what is going on. You are on point jare my guy.

ignis:
Who are you hating?
No lecturer was sacked, rather new lecturers where recruited.

Thank you jare. The fools shud come to Akungba themselves and ask about sacked lecturers. These people are just too funny. They get a lie online and they start jubilating. How many experienced lecturers in other schools do they think would come and take up appointment in aaua? They shud continue to dream.

boladez: Education means nothing to the foolish. The academia worldwide hold a special place in any nation.

The education ministry headed by a tout who in turn is supervised by a visionless guy is the recipe for destruction. Some lecturers like the Prof Mimiko have sold their birth rights over a plate of porridge.

Lecturing is not a profession for low lifers , a sane administrator will dare not do what this corrupt and indolent government is doing. How will they get results from the old lecturers, how will then manage the projects being supervised.

Ha , governance in Nigeria is at an all time low of extreme lack of capacity.

I wonder o. And sincere9gerian is already jubilating. I have a strong feeling is a paid tout to propagate false stories on NL.

only God knows wot dey (ASUU)will do with d money I dnt trust dem corruption is every where thumb's up to aaua .

What is so long in recruiting lecturers? That time is gone. This one is in the form of two fighting. What ever means one uses in emerging as winner is no business of the losser. Under this circumstance a week am sure is enough for that exercise. Be a continuous supper of this political ASUU.

Best explaination to silence the lyin op

take dat: This post does not make any sense!


This current ASUU strike isn't about 'Salary Increase'.


Our universities did not just start getting bad, I concur but should we then continue with the bad system or should we look for ways to put a stop to it? Which is why ASUU's demand for revitalization of the universities is important.

There is no association, group or organization where you will not find bad eggs mixed with the good ones. So there is no denying the fact that there are bad lecturers but the buck doesn't rest with ASUU. ASUU is only a trade union, it has no power to hire or fire lecturers. It is the university management that can hire lecturers, they can also query, discipline and fire bad lecturers. The ASUU chairman cannot punish licentous lecturers only a university management can do so, and who appoints the University heads/administrators(VC's, Pro-Chancellor and Governing Councils)? It is the 'GOVERNMENT'. The rot starts and ends with Government(either Federal or State) depending on the institution!

Nigerian lecturers cannot compete 'Academically or Intellectually' with Ghanaian lecturers? Well, it is your opinion. Do you know what it takes to be employed as a mere graduate assistant in a Federal University? It means such a person would have graduated with a First Class and minimum of a 2.1. Do you know what it takes to bag a First Class in a Federal University? Lots of hardwork, perseverance and exceptional brilliance. These Nigerian lecturers you claim are not competitive or up to date Academically/intellectually, are the same ones many of our political leaders who starve our universities of adequate funds but loot our treasury to establish private universities where students pay good money 'hire'. And many of them who leave the shores of Nigeria gets hired by foreign universities. Are those foreign and private universities hiring lecturers who are not intellectually sound? Why are we always quick to condemn these academics, yet many of those who condemn the lecturers are themselves not intellectually sound?

If the Government fulfills its promise of annually funding the universities for 4 years to the tune of N1.2trillion, and the universities management make judicious use of what they are provided and build more hostels, lecture theaters/halls, equip the labs and improve on the infrastructural deficits, it is then you will see the 'Gains of this strike'. If ASUU did not embark on strike action, the Government wasn't prepared to inject more funds into our university system because almost all the top officials don't have children in public universities.

what a superior and scholarly reasoning!

L.M Ayedun..:

Mr. Take dat, hope you can see this? This is Nigeria, where nothing is impossible. Recruitment process can start and End within 24hours in Nigeria.
AAUA's management is more desperate than even the FG... Just wondering why.

You are wrong bro, and this news from Daily Post is outright misinformation. The school started its recruitment exercise in September. So they weren't recruited to replace the striking lecturers, they only recruited more teaching staff.

http://getnaijajob..co.uk/2013/09/adekunle-ajasin-university-recruiting.html?m=1

teaching/lecturing profession is dead in Nigeria as far as unionism is concern. GOD bless NIGERIA.

The biggest problem in our Universities and in fact entire education system is Lecturers and Teachers.

Our lecturers and teachers take teaching as business and care less of the Nigerian student.
Only those who didn't go through a university in Nigeria or has a lecturer as close relative can support ASUU.
Another group of supporters is APC.

What has these universities done with their internally generated revenues?
They have all sorts of programmes that they charge hell for; Diploma, Pre-degree, Evening Classes, Part time, Distance learning, Post graduate, and many more. They generate funds from all these and I am yet see the impact on the so-called work environment.

ASUU have always fought for one thing, their pockets, only this time it has been labelled "fighting for the education system."
IMO and experience, they are the biggest problem of our education system.

ASUU crises !

cutejane: only God knows wot dey (ASUU)will do with d money I dnt trust dem corruption is every where thumb's up to aaua .

This one na Nigerian student so? The money isn't for ASUU, but for FG and VCs to use in upgrading public Universities. Nothing enters their pocket. Try reading papers, excess Nollywood movies will only cause you backwardness. You're saying 'Thumbs up to AAUA'. Mtscheww. ***** By the way, this is an old recruitment that started sometime around August or so, it has nothing to do with the Old lecturers. All those jubilating, you can now cry.********

With what you just wrote, I doubt if you've seen the four walls of a University. So lecturers collect school fees for academic programmes in the cave you're typing from? Or should dey fund the school from their salaries?
Just go back to bed, you're drunk.

Well govt. Has finally done it worst and,for those of you who are myopic in thinking and taking side with federal govt.i pity the future of your children.
to be sincere. With ourselves do you really think this strike has affected any of the families of our top govt officials?absolutely no because they have lost confidence in the education system long before common people began to doubt the value derivable from the battered system.if not show me the tertiary institutions that have the name of shakers and movers of the country in there registers and I will show you the great value the system hold.
my people ASUU request,is not something beyond the reach of govt.we should try and reason together on the struggle of the union and lend them our support.
after all these schools are government properties any kobo invested in it wil turn out to increase asset valuation of Nigerian property.

and for those of you craving for resumption,thinking after graduation your certificate is worthy of possession,am happy to confirm to you that WAEC certificate is more valuable and recognized than your local B.sc certificate.

lets come together and hold the jugular of the govt in order to accede. To the demand of these lecturers,education sector has one of the highest budgetary allocations with less than 30% implementation.

if govt is on the side of the masses they should implement ASUU agreement,we masses want it that way,its our money they spend and not anybody' money.

ASUU keep fighting the good fight,God is your strength,your effort will soon be vindicated.

You are exactly what you suggested about me.

I worked closely with lecturers in my days in school and even "taught" my lecturers a lot, so you don't know what you are talking about.
My dealing with these lecturers led to my position on lecturers today.
I was there when many collected "blocking" for grades and projects.
I engaged my lecturers and challenged them for knowledge in their courses. It was so tough that I almost dropped out when it was obvious most of these lecturers have nothing to offer.

I understand there are exceptions but I have helped countless of students with their projects in courses way outside my profession and they nor their lecturers had a clue.

I could go on. but my "beef" on lecturers didn't start because of the current strike. It started back in school.

Lastly, my question has not been answered, what do school managements do with their IGRs?

Condition of a classroom in Lagos state....

The change in demand after majority voted to call off strike and the unrelenting support from APC and their supporters is the relationship.

gedtalks: Yeah... Its just the beginning. They've not seen anything yet. The number of strikes done by ASUU in the past 15 years is unbelivable. And all of them boil down to one thing SALARY INCREASE.

I actually do not blame students that support ASUU 's comouflage of ''improve the status of Nigerian Universities''. Did Nigerian Universities just start getting bad. And by the way which is more important '' infrastructure or the quality of education? - I mean quality education without sorting and fvcking to pass. Can 50% of our so called naija lecturers compete academically/ intellectually with Ghanian lecturers. Do our lecturers read before coming to class ? Do they update their handouts or pass the same expired information in old papers from generation to generation ? If ASUU is actually concerned about the state of Naija universities, they would have started cleaning the mess from within by removing the bad eggs amongst themselves first. Open ur eyes Great Nigerian students.

best comment I have read so far since the inception of this strike....infrastructural decadence is not the only problem with our institution, some of our lecturers have nothing to offer

yemmit90:

Why are some un-civilised/uneducated Nigerians so quick in comparing Nigeria to Ghana? Is it the same lecturers hiring in the foreign and private universities you were referring to? How many universities in Ghana are among top 50 in Africa?


Though our lecturers still needs to improve intellectually and research more but that doesn't mean they're that poor.

when ignorance speaks it barks like a dog...well...emm in your case you are a puppy learning to bark. When next you want to talk try a little bit of facts rather than common sence and regular spoken english which makes you think you also belong to the enlightened class (I really pity your foolishness).

Now get this point since you d'not understand when you read.

1. Nigerian Universities need Change. Yes, but change MUST start from within....what stops the non-corrupt lecturers from striking to get rid of the bad eggs Dont they know that amongst them are very many rotten eggs ?

2. If infrastructure is the basic thing...why did a place like Tinapa fail after all the money spent ?

3. Have you interracted with a graduate from a Ghanian University to hear and see THE PRODUCT for yourself or are you applying that your empty common sense here again?

L.M Ayedun..:
You have your point and
I respect your opinion Bro.
You are more reasonable.

Correct man! You've earned my total respect with this post. Maturity can't be hidden. I just saw yours.

TechWalker007:

seriously ur clueless as to what is happening. The change in demand is legitimate. Has government eva fulfilled previous promises agreed upon? What is the harm in putting this agreement in paper and signing it? Unless ur government has no plans to continue payment.

But y must it take ASUU decades 2 set up an investigative panel 2 verify FG's new claim,or is ASUU leadership short of ideas,or are dey waiting 4 a directive from their ferocious political tyrants? Why is ASUU silent about d students' future? 4 gawd sake FG as claimed d deposit of a certain amount since thursday,what has ASUU done since then or will someone tell me dat there's nothing dat can b done within 2 days? Dis shows how passionate dey're 4 d students and as 4 d skul dat replaced/employed more lecturers i say thank you 4 doing d needful at least u safe our future 4rm egocentric lecturers who have suddenly become politicians.I know some ASUU Membas on nairaland might want 2 quote me but b4 u do dat i'll like 2 ask u what ASUU have been doing with d moni dey've been collecting from FG since ova 20 yrs of their existence,and if u'll like 2 tell me dat it's d problem of d skul management then i'll advice u 2 leave d task of extorting D FG 2 d skul managements who are even ready again 2 embezzle dis #200 billion.

Dis is gud. Atleast a gud lesson 4 oda lecturers who are adamant.

Exactly why it has become political.
