I don't even do a government job. However, I am not a mediocre that will be supporting incompetence. If the government of the the countries the thieving government you so much love send their children to, behave like they do here, will they have sent them there? Again I don't expect you to understand this because human beings generally don't have same level of comprehending situations.
I Pity the innocent students who are the children of the less privileged in the society. ASUU will still be paid for the months. The useless government is only grandstanding

Jman06:
I think at this point FG should pay ASUU the salary arrears since that has always been the culture since ASUU started striking. Besides, it's not like that money would be properly channeled if not paid, it'll still be looted by the corrupt politicians.

What some of us didn't want to hear was that lecturers were getting paid while the students were languishing at home. If they're ready to suspend the strike, then FG should pay them. After all, they need the money to be in the right frame of minds to teach when school resumes. We don't want them transferring the anger on the students if forced to go back to class without pay. The relationship with students was bad on a normal day let alone when they're forced to class without pay. It'll be bloody mehn!

Meanwhile, some of these lecturers are good and I know one in particular (a Prof in UNIBEN) that assist indegent students financially from his little salary. So, because of such Godly lecturers, I pray that God touches the hearts of the president and ministers to release their salaries and do the needful to end this strike....Amen

rusher14:


These names should be easy to reel off.

Just 3 lecturers from those you know would settle this.

ejimatic:
How many Nigerian Profs in medical field have been able to produced a COVID vaccine for the world? We claim yet that our universities have good hands.

idu1:



Stop talking bullshiit.


Their positions will be filled with vibrant young folks looking for jobs.

rusher14:


Name 3 that have left their lecturing jobs in the last 6 months.

Must be easy.

emmanuelewumi:



It costs more than that to have a child in a boarding secondary School

Kingharzyz:


Yes more than 70% of them are after sex for Grade , and harassing female students; I thought they’ve stoped until my 19yrs old niece schooling in one these Uni in Ilorin gives me gist about Lecturers after her for sex, Phd holders ooo, one Olaifa, Atolagbe etcetera ! She said a week won’t go without one them pestering her.

Paedophile lots.

Ayodeoba:
but do you consider those who are poor? How will they get their children educated? Or is education only for the rich

emmanuelewumi:



Well managed universities have endowment fund. It is too bad that Unilag, Ife, UI, ABU do not have an Endowment fund of N100 billion and above in their 60 years or there about of their existence

We can also get a single digit education loan, your degree and BVN will be the collateral

gaskiyamagana:

Fg that his children are enjoying education abroad. Continue to love fg with your children suffering education in Nigeria.

Jking20:


Why should they??
These set of lazy people whom schooled almost free during their time, served with free meals with ads and reserved employment after graduation. Now, they're behaving like gods because they're there and their children aren't affected in this ugly situation. In as much as the government is to be blamed, the Union is selfish and politicalized.

Nigerian Universities DO NOT parade the best brains. Most of those lecturers got the appointment by who they know and not what they know. Only a few actually merit their position. Merely judging by the utterances of the so-called Chairperson of ASUU you can tell the Professor of Soil Science does not sound intelligent. Very arrogant and this is characteristic of lecturers in Nigeria who think they are demi gods. Imagine him calling State universities quacks and instead of apologising, he turned around to say he was referring to only 3 universities. Don't think I'm saying this because I graduated from a State University. I actually graduated from a 1st generation Federal university and had my masters in a 2nd generation Federal University but what the combative ASUU president said is utterly unintelligent.

We are waiting for the lecturers to resign and give way to young, vibrant and adventurous scholars who are roaming the streets without any job simply because they don't know anybody in high places. We don't have a want of them in Nigeria.

shortIGBOman:


You are definitely one of those Peter Obi's supporters. They criticize the Government no matter what good the government did.
Continue wailing. The Students themselves are tired of those criminal ASUU.

NO WORK NO PAY.
Fvck ASUU

CzarChris:
How can you get anything when the FG swallows every single thing generated by the universities. School fees are paid directly into the single treasury account and is looted from there. Infact, na God hand we dey for this country like this.

CzarChris:
So I should violate my friends privacy to satisfy your over bloated ego? Like I said I owe you no explanation neither do I owe you anything.

Well, personally I currently have an offer from a Australian Engineering firm which I'm about partnering with as a consultant. I'm currently dotting all the iiis and crossing all the tees. So screw the strike, after my wedding this December God willing, I go leave this country for una.
BTW, in my field we are only about 15 in Nigeria, and we are few worldwide, I know how much in revenue I generate for my university yearly in terms of international students that come to Nigeria for my classes, don't get me started with the IOC staffs that come on short courses here, I know my worth dude, so goodluck.

Jman06:
Unless you don't care about the plights of millions of Nigerian students at home, you should encourage the government to pay the lecturers.

The combative approach Adamu Adamu is trying to employ is never going to work but would rather complicate the matter. I hope someone quickly advises him against such futile approach before it's too late

Some of you just type without thinking! Assuming he succeeds in sacking the lecturers (which is not even possible in the present circumstance), how do you expect the government to fill the gap? Do you think it's easy to study up to PhD? Let alone becoming a professor

Adamu Adamu should realize that the interest of the public supercedes his personal ego. He should pay the lecturers their salaries and end this strike.

Jking20:


Maybe you should go and pay them. I can see clearly you're on their side for a reason which is not none to me. But I want to assure you that ASUU will soon get their match. Useless and selfish union bewildered with betrayal. Because some uni pulled out, they're now quacks universities. God will see to this very soon.

emmanuelewumi:



Universities should tell government that they will be responsible for at least 70% of their salaries. Unfortunately most Universities can't generate 30% of their recurrent expenses

Ayodeoba:
that's a good idea but do you think that is feasible in this country?I have had the opportunity to work in a federal university in lagos,there re many corrupt practices going on underground, should FG grant them the autonomy, school management will use the power to continue exploiting students and there won't be check and balances.
But,how could a student after studying on credits pay back his debts if he couldn't find a job after graduation

Jman06:
I am sure you did not watch that interview he had with AriseTV. I watched the program and the ASUU president never generalized the state universities. He only referred to UNIOSUN, EKSU and KWASU. He then cited KASU as example of the schools where attempts to truncate the strike failed.

femeritus:


I watched it and read the transcripts too. Why should he label even if it's just one school quack just because they pulled out of the strike? Do you know where the ASUU President teaches? Find out and you'll know why I said it was not smart of him to call any University quack not when his own University is even worse in standard. By his definition, a quack University is the any University that pulls out of the strike.

Jman06:
He was wrong to have used the word "quack". I think the man spoke out of anger on that interview.
