What is unique about the service ASUU provides that cannot be reproduced, Do you know how many people are waiting on the sidelines to replace them? Let FG put adverts asking even for foreign-trained PhD and see how many applications they go get.
Someone once said ordinary customer service job advertised at under 200k, enough foreign-trained Masters dey apply never mind Naija Masters

ASUU are just a bunch of entitled people, I remember how many times they cancelled session when I was still in school claiming they were tired and after sending us home for months almost a year, They all resumed to private Universities to teach and get paid double

You are forgetting who the employer and employee is here, and trade union in an environment like Nigeria where many people are jobless, You remember one time Doctors went on strike and Lagos state govt put their roles up for hire, they got thousands of application from many doctors who have been jobless before

I already argued some time back, Public University is becoming a waste of time for many courses especially for Technical course, You are almost certain going to learn more useful stuff online than in those Universities where your lecturer will be teaching you Fortran77

Your employer says they want to pay you by direct deposit, you tell them you prefer to collect cash, and you gave them reasons?
Abeg those that are collecting salary through IPPIS are they lesser animals? You see salary you dey claim say you no want it to be paid in one style, You don see where Grace give diggz toto, wey him complain say e no get hair?

How many students did they consult when they changed the payment system of School fees from teller to scratch card and online portals, If students dare protest they immediately expel them

They are not serious

And u honestly think foreign lecturers will come home and teach in Nigerian universities that are grossly underfunded? You think Nigerian professors in Foreign universities will leave their host countries with 24/7 electricity and come down here. Shey no be u dey tell somebody which day say u no dey come Naija wey still never get light . Make OAU put advert now say dem dey find expertriate, shey u go come with that Ur Harvard certificate come dey impart knowledge in lecture Theatre that is stuffy without working Air conditioner.

The government obviously knows more than u do. They know how they've failed in so many ways and they know sacking the present lecturers and calling for applications will lead nowhere. Even when the foreign lecturers come, they won't spend up to a year in total before jumping ship and leaving the government hanging in the balance. The government will surely go back crawling to the same lecturers they sacked.

Funny enough sef, we presently have a dearth of PHD holders in Nigeria. This is why u see some people use as much as 7 years for a PhD programme cos they have to wait for when another supervisor will be free to be assigned to them.

ASUU is only trying to hold a failed government to ransom to get what they want like most people would do in their shoes

The government gave them a deadline to enroll and the deadline has passed.

There’s nothing special about their peculiarities. It won’t even take anything to set them up. Medical doctors who receive all kind of allowance are on the system also. The military are also going to be enrolled on the system. What exactly is that peculiarities that IPPIS cannot solve?

I hope you know there are some of their memebers that have enrolled on this IPPIS and they have been getting their salary? Government has every right to withhold their salary because they failed to compile with the directive that’s meant to process their payment.

As long as ASUU members are employees of government, they cannot dictate how the government or which payment system the government should use to pay them.

I was also like you thinking the ASUU guys are deliberately jeopardizing our tertiary education sector with their unreasonable demands until I got an insight into their concerns and fears as regards the IPPIS.

Below is what my friend who happens to be a lecturer wrote on the IPPIS issue in Facebook. (I had to crop out his name)

I hope u can read it with an open mind and understand what the stand of the lecturers are.

larride:
You actually think a payment system like IPPIS is static? The Accountant general has said it repeatedly that the system can take on their peculiarities and it will be factored into the system when registering them. Is IPPIS not paying those that has enrolled? There are non teaching staff of universities already on IPPIS, there are teaching staff of college of education and poly also on the system and IPPIS is paying them, so what exactly is the peculiarities that ASUU are shouting about?

It’s even funny they are proposing a payment platform the government should use to pay them. They are employees of govt. they didn’t employ themselves. Let all other agencies should kuku start proposing their own payment system for the government to pay them.

@The bold part of Ur post, I don't think u clearly understand how powerful trade unions can be.

larride:
The government is not going to continue doing things the old way. The government is coming to a compromise to pay them during this pandemic yet they are saying the government should go pay them through the old method. BVN will expose the lot of them taking multiple salary from the system.

I already gave a response to Dayo which I believe should cover the point u raised here.

The government did wrong by withholding their salary when they know they are still on the negotiation table. The government proposed IPPIS, ASUU rejected it and proposed UTAS instead which they believe took care of the peculiarities of the tertiary education sector emoluments.

There was a stalemate with both parties claiming their own software system is best suited for the accountability and transparency the government plans to achieve.

The government applied the stick by withholding their salary. Now they want to pay and the lecturers insist they get paid the normal way it's been done in the past pending when they both agree on the IPPIS/UTAS payment solution.

I don't think there is anything wrong in this. The government has shown they can't be trusted in the past and the lecturers are not taking chances. They believe if they get paid tru BVN, the government might as well use that to drag them back to the IPPIS which they have vehemently rejected.

I hope u understand their stand now

raumdeuter:
What of ghost workers? Do they want to move with times, With BVN it will be hard for ghost workers,
Why are they against IPPIS or whatever it stands for, When these same lecturers started online course registration and fee ayment, should students too refuse that we prefer the cash and teller and course form on A4 papers

ASUU are not foools who would out rightly reject the government's offer on the IPPIS because they want to get stuck on the old ways of doing things, they gave reasons for rejecting IPPIS.

Not only did they just reject the IPPIS, they gave an alternative system/platform which they believe is simpler to implement and will achieve the accountability as well as eliminate ghost workers getting paid, which of course is what the government claims IPPIS seeks to achieve.

See link below for more details about the alternative system :

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2019/12/27/ASUU-proposes-alternative-to-ippis/amp

Their metting was a stalemate earlier, the government used the stick by withholding their salary which obviously angered them and has led to distrust ; hence they won't be buying the BVN story for now

larride:
FG gave directive that all its agencies, ministry and department that are not yet on the integrated system to enroll in IPPIS.

First ASUU refused saying they have autonomy, later they said IPPIS cannot accomodate their peculiarities like age of retirement, visiting lecturer n so on. Then they brought UTAS and say the government should be paying them through it.

FG refused and gave them deadline to enroll or they won’t get their salary. Some enrolled and some didn’t. Since Feb FG stopped payment to those not enrolled on the platform and then ASUU declare indefinite strike in March.

Yesterday, Buhari gave approval for their withheld salary to be paid (Feb/March) so they can at least provide for their families during this pandemic. Tonight ASUU says they are not going to drop their BVN to get paid.

Join IPPIS, No. Oya drop your BVN, No. what exactly is ASUU problem?

This country na proper cruise sha. Employees telling their employer how and which platform they should use to pay them.

I just read the ASUU chairman's interview with Nigerian Tribune. He gave reasons for their refusal to provide their BVN.

He claimed the government had been paying them salaries over the years without the use of BVN, where are they suddenly requesting for it now? It is the believed that the government is probably looking for a way to drag them to the IPPIS platform by hook or by crook. ( You know these lecturers think far and wide)

If I was in their shoes too I wouldn't trust the federal government and I will be angry as well. Does anybody request for the BVN of Legislooters, Judisharing and Executives before paying them?

Can I have some please. This looks so Peng

Amorprincesa24:
The ones i ate yesterday was not sweet at all. I regretted buying them.

I make I sure I don't buy the ones that have patches of green on the body, although the sellers usually mix them with the completely ripe ones sha just to move it.

I usually beg them to help me pick genuinely ripe ones. That way at least majority of it will be sweet.

Legitdimple:
So today is my birthday since we are still on lock down,I will be giving myself a special treat at home. Here is to everyone on this food thread,you all are amazing and an inspiration I've really learnt a lot here. Preston,Cococandy,Poco,mariangeles(hope the spelling is correct) Teespice,Akposy(will definately holla at you when I'm in Jos) Blueraydick and a whole lots of others too numerous to mention. I duff my hat for you all!

Happy birthday dear.

ooin! U are doing well....Your turkey can attest to that

cococandy:
That’s was funny.

Although I strongly encourage you to try new things

I wish I can, but I think it's a thing of the mind.

I find it quite hard convincing myself that trying out a new meal will come out good. No matter the testimonies others give, once I'm unable to convince myself it just won't happen.

Maybe I'm weird sha

Mangoes for lunch

Mariangeles:
Senrenren

They are senrenren na. Imagine I was just seeing a lot of sea animals in orishirishi sauce on their menu. Immediately that's not for me

pocohantas:
Lmao. No cry o. My friend has been asking me, “where are we going first?”

I say make we go 788 on the sea. Have you been there? The view overlooking the ocean is beautiful and they have nice seafood.

Anyway, we dey house for now.

I will look it up. I remember someone was mentioning a particular place close to Bonny Camp that sounds something like that...."On the sea".....

Although I really need to look up their menu first ó. All those senrenren some of these restaurants serve as seafood ehn

The last time I was at Ocean basket, I spent close to 20 minutes studying their menu list like Waec key point . I had to ask them if they have any other menu aside this one, they said no.

I just gbe body sharp sharp. I no go chop wetin I no know....Oyster in kinikan sause....... I no Sabi chop am o

@pocohantas talking about the good old days I.e 'Pre-Corona' Era, I was going tru my gallery and saw this.

Corona really need to go and let's have back the good old days where one can enjoy cool beach breeze on a sunny saturday afternoon like this

5 year results in Europe.
Generally 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 point for a loss.

Man Utd jumped from 18th in 2019 to 9th in 2020

Chelshit dropped from 12th in 2019 to 14th in 2020

Spurs jumped from 17th in 2019 to 12th in 2020.

One question that might come up should they choose to tow this part is should they use the 2020 ranking which includes the incomplete 2019/2020 season OR should they use the rankings from 5 complete seasons ending in 2019.
I am sure United and Chelshit fans would be very interested in that answer.

It will be a big blow to Chelsea if they tow this line o.....All those Chelsea baba ( we call dem bàbà blues) for bar for my area go frustrate

Jodera:
Rankings mostly are used for seeding. There's a reason before champions league draw is made, real Madrid is always top of the group with 0 points and another club like As Roma is below them, when normally, in league, the names are placed in alphabetical order. So rankings helps in seeding.
But the criteria how ranking works, to be sincere, I don't know, cos I don't see or know how Tottenham will be above Chelsea in ranking.

Na wa o

Jodera:
Chelsea is the least ranked among Liverpool, arsenal, Manchester city, man u, and Tottenham. Since four will make the champions league, any of those 5 will be picked(according to ranking) before Chelsea. And if man city is banned, Tottenham takes the place, cos Tottenham is the least ranked aside Chelsea

What is the basis for the ranking? I want to learn

pocohantas:
Honestly, I can eat more than four. I eat nothing less than 6 with my amala- that is minus fried panla. You guys own stand out because you can eat it with ANYTHING! Same way you add stew to almost every food.



Lol. Nice tradition. Though on a good day, I find it pretty weird serving an adult 1 meat. Even if I go to a restaurant, you know those type that have followcome meat? I take them as a joke if it is less than 2.

Funny enough, I really do not like much meat like that. I easily get tired of meat, most times when I pay for more than one I end up regretting that decision.

Breakfast : Fried yam + Stew( The remaining ekuru stew actually )

Jodera:
from the introduction, it's explained well na.
That if season isn't completed, arsenal will qualify for champions league based on uefa coefficient. In uefa coefficient, I believed we're ahead of Leicester, wolves Sheffield.. Like that. With man city banned, then it makes arsenal eligible.

But then again, I just feel it's postulations. I don't think it'll happen

I don't think u are right @ The bold part of Ur post. The article says Arsenal will qualify along with Man utd, Liverpool and Man city.....And that Tottenham will replace man city if their ban takes effect next season.

U really do not understand the coefficient story sha. Cos the article is implying Chelsea will be dropped to Europa League. It doesn't make much sense sha

1. When did they release the guidelines?

2. Was there an advert placed in the papers or other media announcing that people should apply for the intervention funds?

3. When did they start receiving applications?

4. When did the applications close?

5. Why is this starting in the 4th week of a 4 weeks lockdown?

Will try this. Can it be baked as we do for Moimoi?

Yes it can be baked the same way u would moin-moin, just make sure it is the blended beans alone that is baked without adding any seasoning or pepper to it.

larride:

Send a DM if you are interested pls.

Roland17:
As much as I love and have defended him, this is good radiance. We need to move on from Ozil and many others after this season, that has been my position. I hope a concrete offer comes from China.

Me too. Let's just build the team around younger and fresh talents. He seem to have been sulking for a while which I don't think is good for team spirit

Ibime:
Covid takes time to kill. It does not start to kill until thousands have got it and enough time has passed.

Germany only had like 3 deaths in their first thousand, now they are dying like fowl

In other words, Corona dey one corner dey watch the president as he dey drink agbo for live TV dey fool himself till Corona ready for dem...

Ibime:
Agbo.

No different to the herbs we drink and inhale back home.

All these things have some benefit

But they claim none of the 121 COVID-19 cases in the country has resulted to fatality, could this be the agbo at work or they still being lucky yet?

Ibime:
He's arrived!
