ASUU is mad..
FG is mad..

Everything about this country is worrisome and tiresome. Education that should be given first priority above other sectors is being relegated and dragged in the mud. At 60 years since independent we are still talking about strike! When a toddler crawls for 60 years, when will he walk? I just can't imagine that in this 21st century. We really have a thousand miles to cover as a country.

no b lie...was around d meeting yesterday and it still same old story... ASUU asking them to test the UTAS and f.g still insisting dt it must be IPPS because other govt agency would also want to switch from it to Thiers if they bend to ASUU and ASUU still demanding for old salaries and F.G refusing because ASUU didnt work for it...
another meeting would be fixed again mayb next month because the f.g rep said they need to give the President feedback if he can reconsider ASUU and he would get back to them...
what pains me most is d way both parties wey laughing and sharing pleasantries after d party dt I thought they would both walk off in an angry mood...
how can workers dt avnt been paid be seen laughing n shaking hands with their managers??
it seems these people are jus playing d students n I think a general protest within d nation would solve things..
m jus tired of this country...

Lol.... The meme sha... You never see where they wrote "Piss here and die instantly" or "Piss here and pay fine of #5000"? I no dey piss for that kind place ooo.

So why continue the same method that is not working?

Does that not mean they are devoid of ideas?

They can't win any fight
Maybe because they are not truly doing it for the students

If not because of the strikes, the university system would have turned to that of primary schools now. The little monies released were done due to the strikes. Of course this is the only way for now, as long as people like you refuse to back ASUU and stop government irresponsibility. Go and look at governments sponsorship of education in the countries will like to use and spite Nigeria, it is tremendous. Even countries in Africa as the Prof mentioned are far ahead of us in public education management. Education is quite expensive and cannot be funded the way we are doing.

This is a pure lie
Has the primary schools turn to rubbish now even though they don't even generate funds like the universities do?

ASUU fights for their pockets alone and this is glaring.

Why has Unilorin not turned to a primary school ever since they opted out of ASUU? Answer this first.

zikter:
Because the government has consistently refused to honor agreements that would have transformed the life of a Nigerian student. But it is no fault of ASUU in fighting for the right thing. Nigerians need to wake up and support them in making the government responsible and not castigating them the way some of you are doing

There are universities not with ASUU, yet better than most of the universities still with ASUU, so what are you saying again?

nonetheless, u can still send the pic though

Like I told you earlier.... Send me yours first and let me see how deform you are.

So true!

pls save us all these robin hood stories of ASUU.

the billions Jonathan's government gave them some few years ago, what have they done with it or what little changes so far have they brought to the schools with the monies?

na FG I blame sha. giving ASUU money without accountability and monitoring them on how they spent it. after receiving billions the first thing they do is go buy Benz and SUVs and now they'd be claiming they're fighting for the revitalizations of schools. I pray FG deals with you guys very well.

I don commot mind say school go resume this year again

please leave that one. he wants to force a mischievous narrative that ASUU is always right and fighting for the common man.

what are the little stuff they've done with the billions GEJ gave them? him no go fit answer dey talk say na small compared to the agreement. ehnnn even that small what have dey done? nothing!

I wish FG can make a law such that any strike by ASUU or any academic union that extends beyond 3 months should be punished by forfeiture of subsequent payments of salaries after three months.

you can't keep wasting students time at home for almost a year now claiming you're fighting for them. how do you intend to make up for the their time wasted at home ?

ASUU and FG will just be turning our heads up on down. ASUU talked about funding varsities, hostels and no lab equipment and my question is what happens to all the: acceptance fee, hostel fees, faculty fees, departmental fees and even tho I've never been to lab as am not a science student I can comfortably say that these student pay a lil fee. where does all this cash run to? Are heads in charge of all these not members of ASUU??
No wonder I see why 20 persons will always contest for VC position and in some cases some varsities starts trying to impeach the VC they've got.
ASUU shouldn't just be sounding as if they really care for the students welfare!!

ASUU have punished the students more than any others out there.

jasonnn9:
In 2012, when the NEEDS assessment of 16 universities were carried out, after much pressure, the government came out to say that it agreed with N1.3 trillion to be released over a period of six years, starting with the sum of N200 million in 2013. That was the only tranche the government released, which was spread over five years. Since 2017, we have been saying that the government should go back to pay the balance or come up with a new schedule for paying the balance of N1.1 trillion. The best we have got from the government was the release of N25 billion, then N20 billion as a sign of commitment, which does not address the fundamental issues because the spirit behind the MoU of 2013, which the Federal Government signed with ASUU, was the need to massively inject funds into public universities, but there are problems in terms of facilities and human capacities, among others.

If this does not explain to you why ASUU doesn't trust the Govt. I don't know what else will.
I mean, since 2013? An agreement reached has not been honoured? This shows the uncaring attitude that this Govt. not only towards education, but towards healthcare and security..which are vital foundations on which any successful society is built.

I weep for my country..governed by wickedness in the highest and lowest of places.

What is going on is a shame. Lots of Nigerian students now go abroad to study. The truth: the educational system needs reforms in terms of policies & curricula & funding.
The refusal of ASUU to be enrolled on IPPIS platform is due to selfish reasons to cover up fraud & multiple employment of officers in several institutions.
This is the price we pay for poor governance & leadership.

which government university is not with ASUU, as far as I know it was only uni ilorin and they are back with ASUU. Even at that, they were not and are currently not the best federal university in Nigeria. So, i don't understand your point.
Look, simply give me a proof that our universities are adequately funded compared to even contemporary countries in Africa. Regardless of whether ASUU is fighting for improved welfare they are right. Their salaries are very poor by the way. Poor facilities etc are all as a result of government neglect. So what exactly are you people defending government for? I don't get it

May you are the one lieing. You don't even know how deplorable the public primary schools are. Who send their kids to them in this age apart from the poorest in the society. The average well to do parents sent their kids to private nursery and primary schools.
The same Uni Ilorin is on strike for issues bordering on poor funding. ASUU members welfare is part of the poor funding issues. How much does a professor take home after more than 30 years in service? Is it up to a million? So even if they fight for their welfare, it is no crime. As you like comparing Nigeria with SA, Ghana, Egypt, Tunisia, etc compare the salaries of their lecturers, education funding before you come back.
By the way, uni ilorin is not the best in Nigeria compared to other federal universities, and the fact that it is not a primary school does not mean it is competing favourably with the best universities even in Africa.

[quote author=zikter post=95461348]But what other measures? Our government doesn't understand anything apart from the strike. If not for the strikes, the little respect for the public universities would have totally gone. Even the corruption in all facets of Nigeria is driven by government. So the government is still the genesis of everything. Worse still, if the money needed to find our education system was made available and embezzled, one would know where to vent ones anger, but the money is not even there. Go and look at education budget and compare with the nations will like making reference to[/]

with all the phD holders, MSc, BSc and professors it's only torturing students to get what is needed they can think of?

[quote author=Collinsemegreat post=95491677][/quote]That is their work, to tutor and lecture students. What else do you want them to do? If a lecturer owns as much as a retail store, he is castigated again for neglecting his poorly paid job. If you assume all of them with PhD, msc etc should leave their jobs for something else, who will them teach if everyone attains knowledge and leaves? Of course the best option is to make the system workable, convenient for both students and teachers. The key to this is in government's hand.
