SENATE President David Mark barely stopped short of calling those who negotiated the 2009 Federal Government agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities foolish.

Mark said the government negotiators couldn’t differentiate between their right and left hands and that the ASUU leadership took advantage of their ignorance.

He said, “Listening to the agreement that was signed by the Federal Government as Comrade Uche Chukwumerije read out, I was really wondering whether this was signed or it was just a proposal.

“But when he concluded, he said it was signed. It only shows the level of people the executive sent to go and negotiate on their behalf because ab initio, people must be told the truth, what can be accomplished and what cannot be accomplished.

“If a leader says I am going to accomplish this, he is morally duty bound to honour it. But even if you decided immediately after that you cannot accomplish it, I think it is only proper for you to go back and start renegotiating.

“But if you prolong it on the basis that you are still going to honour it and you don’t honour it, then it doesn’t portray us in good light.

“This is where the Federal Government ought to call those who were party to this agreement.

 “On the other hand, I think ASUU simply took advantage of the ignorance of those who were sent and simply just allowed this agreement to go on because it is obvious that this is going to be very difficult piece of paper to implement.

“They found that those who were sent there simply didn’t know their right from their left and they just went ahead.

“I think that also is not fair because ASUU is an organisation in Nigeria and we are not going to go to another country to implement this piece of paper.”

The Senate President spoke on the floor of the senate during a debate on a motion by Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba. The senate, in the motion supported by 107 members, said the ASUU strike, which began July1, 2013, had become a national embarrassment.

At the head of the Federal Government re-negotiating team  with ASUU in 2009 was the boardroom guru, Deacon Gamaliel Onosode. The members of the team were Prof. Musa Abdullahi, a former Pro-Chancellor of the University of Jos who died in 2008; Prof. Creg Iwu, ex-Pro-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; Rev. Father T.E. Uwaifo, ex-Pro-Chancellor, Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma; Emeka Nwankpa, ex-Pro-Chancellor, Abia State University, Uturu; Ambassador Muhammed Adamu Jumba, ex-Pro-Chancellor, Bayero University, Kano; Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Executive Secretary, Education Trust Fund; and Senator Abdullah Wali, who was a member until February 2008.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, who briefed his colleagues on the text of the FG-ASUU agreement said the varsity teachers negotiated N1.5tn, comprising Varsity Funding and Earned Allowance for lecturers.

He said that ASUU demanded that the government should spread the implementation of the pact for a period of three years at N500bn per year.

Chukwumerije, who admitted that some clauses in the agreement were  ambiguous, however said efforts by the government to raise funds to meet the ASUU demands were rejected by the lecturers.

He said that ASUU had rejected the N130bn offered them by government which comprised of N100bn for funding and N30bn as Earned Allowances.

Most of the senators who contributed to the debate said that varsity education in Nigeria was underfunded but also noted that some of the demands by ASUU were outrageous.

The senators noted that both the leadership of ASUU and the Executive should shift grounds on the strike because the agreement, which was the cause of the conflict, was defective.

They also mandated the Committee on Education to continue to liaise with the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission, ASUU and other relevant stakeholders to proffer lasting solution to stem further strikes in the education sector.

They equally mandated Mark as the Chairman of the National Assembly, to engage President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of ASUU in a meaningful dialogue with a view to bringing the strike to an end.

The senators lamented the crises in the education sector in the country and submitted that the current ASUU strike, if allowed to continue, could spell doom for the nation.

Mark, apparently miffed at the shoddy negotiation conducted by the government, said he could only beg the striking lecturers to go back to the classrooms and give room for a renegotiation.

Mark said, “The essence of this motion is to find a solution and a way forward. I have listened to all those that have spoken so far.

“Let us shift ground in our understanding of the problem and find a solution because if all the parties involved just dig in and they say they won’t shift ground then there will be no solution to it and Nigeria will be worse off for it.

“Whether it is the executive, the legislature or the judiciary or ASUU, not shifting ground is not going to help to find a lasting solution to the problem.

“I want to appeal to ASUU and in fact let me even use the words, I want to beg ASUU on behalf of the Senate, that they resume and come back to work. They have made a strong case. Their position is obvious now.

“We can now see the consequences of their action and I think if they extend it beyond this then they will begin to lose public sympathy.”

Sunderland have sacked head coach Paolo Di Canio after a poor start to the season that has left the Black Cats bottom of the Premier League table.
The 45-year-old Italian has won three of his 13 matches since being appointed in March and taken only one point from five league games this campaign.
"An announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor," read a club statement.
In the meantime, coach Kevin Ball will take charge of the first-team squad.
The statement added: "The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future."
Ball's opening duty is to prepare the side for Tuesday's home Capital One Cup third-round match against Peterborough United at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland then host Liverpool on Sunday and Manchester United on 5 October, with the Wear-Tyne derby against Newcastle on 27 October.
After guiding Swindon to promotion from League Two in 2012, Di Canio succeeded Martin O'Neill at the Stadium of Light on 31 March but later admitted he feared the sack in the immediate controversy over his arrival.
Embarking upon his first Premier League job, Di Canio had to fend off questions about whether he held fascist beliefs.
He was backed by Sunderland chairman Ellis Short and endeared himself to the fans with a 3-0 victory at Newcastle in his second game as boss.
But Di Canio's men were thrashed 6-1 by Aston Villa and failed to win their final three fixtures, finishing one place above the relegation zone.
This season started with a home loss to Fulham before the Wearsiders drew at Southampton and conceded nine goals in defeats against Crystal Palace, Arsenal and, most recently, West Brom.
After the 3-0 loss at The Hawthorns on Saturday, Di Canio walked over to face the travelling supporters, who made their feelings clear.
"I absorb the insults as it's part of the game - if I was in their position I'd be furious," he said. "But I'm professional: 24 hours a day I work for this cause. One day their reaction will be a different reaction.
"I knew that they were furious. I went to them because I wanted to see their faces. It's easy to go over when they're clapping or singing your name. I'm responsible but my head is up. I won't give up.
"It's obvious we're still not together. We don't have many leaders in terms of desire to play with a premier style.
"I'm never going to change my regime. I am what I am. My way to manage the team is for the top, top level. I have to be clear to everyone - the board, the chairman, the fans - I'm never going to change.
"One day, if I receive the full support from the players, we will turn the corner."
Di Canio publicly criticised some of his squad at the end of last season and worked with director of football Roberto De Fanti and chief scout Valentino Angeloni to sign 14 new players in the summer.
But left-back Danny Rose returned to Tottenham following a loan spell, while Sunderland sold goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to Liverpool and, on transfer deadline day, forward Stephane Sessegnon to West Brom.
Sunderland are now looking for their sixth permanent manager in less than five years.

I think it's quite unfair, he bought 14 new players and should have been given time for the team to gel.

Great comments here, quite impressive. Here's a lil summary......

A Professor was teaching about Proverbs 15: 1. He asked his students, 'why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?' The students thought for a while. One said, because we lose our calm. But why shout when the other person is just next to you? Asked the professor. Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you are angry? The students gave some answers but none satisfied the Professor. Finally he explained, 'when two people are angry at each other, there is a distance in their hearts psychologically.
To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance. Then the Professor asked, 'What happens when two
people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why?
Because their hearts are psychologically close. The distance between them is very close. The Professor continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They don't speak, only whisper and they even get closer to each other in
their love. Finally they even need not
whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.....
So next time you shout on a loved one, know that you are creating distance between your heart and that person’s heart.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse

In this life, when you deny someone an apology, you will remember it at time you beg forgiveness

When you've done something wrong, admit it and be sorry. No one in history has ever choked to death from swallowing his pride

Lastly....
Proverbs 15:1 says a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

There was this robbery, the robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you".

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.

This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional way of thinking".
--------------- --------------- ----------
One lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her "Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only on what you are trained to do!"
--------------- --------------- ----------
When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), "Big bro, let's count how much we got", the older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications! "
--------------- --------------- -----------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says "Wait, wait, wait, let's put the 5 million naira we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed".

This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!"
--------------- --------------- -----------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is a robbery every month".

This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important."
--------------- --------------- -----------
The next day, TV news reported that 200 million naira was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million naira. The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 20 million naira, the bank manager took 180 million naira with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief.
