What did I just read? Has it gotten to this extent? Imagine what would happen if these group of people get hold of a woman.
Na wah o!

I'm no politician, but either way this won't end well. Trump would have won this election easily, but his handling of the Coronavirus pandemic really messed up his chances, but let's wait for the final result to be announced.

this news really saddens my heart...7years plus in the university all beacause of one form of strike or the other..
using one tool to fight the government over and over again yet no tangible lasting solution. wont you change tactics..i mean its only a fool who does something in a particular way and manner over again and expects a different result..haba.. wherever you read or hear the name ASUU there will surely be the word "strike" in that same sentence or coversation...very annoying lots..i
u hardly see foreign students in nigeria universities these days cos of thi incessant disruption of academic calenders...the government is iirseponsibe..yes we know! but must you further contribute to the decay of our tertiary institutions..u say if not fot ASUU struggle, nigeria federal universities would av been on shambles or the school fees would have been exhorbitantly high. bla bla bla....now i ask u ASUU, are schools like uniilorin,lasu and other states universities not doing well too? are the school fees of these institution very high?
looking forward to seeing that day when i will read news like " ASUU urges the federal government to heed to its demands or else they would temporarily call of its members to discontinue the research of a vaccine for endemic illness like say malaria, or drugs or economics , agricultural, minning , conflict resolutional strategies..."..never!!! all you hear is ASUU threatens strike, strike and strike cos of cos thats the only bargainin power they have.....mtchheeww
and for those of you praying for school to resume next year, well i believe you guys are still kids in probably your first or second year( no insult intended) my prayer for u is that may ASUU strike and other strikes that may continue to happen in future not put u in a position that jobs would reject you not cos u didnt do excellently well in job intervies but simply because you have exceeded the age limit needed for employment
#EndAsuuSrike

Actually, UniIlorin is back to the fold, they always benefit from ASUU's fight. I don't know about LASU though. Come to think about it, which other method can one use to bring this government to the negotiation table if not strike. Strike is the only thing that catches their attention.

Barristter07:
Moments that humble a person in life.

You can say that again.

I only have terrible memories of the hospital. I remember in my final year in the university, I had to sleep in the hospital with my now late Dad throughout my 1st semester. I'd leave him and my mum in the hospital room and go sleep in the car. That period was when I understood the futilty of life. I'd be sleeping in the car, because we were parked close to the hospital mortuary, every night they'll carry at least 3-4 dead bodies past me in the car to the mortuary. That was actually when I started living a simple and carefree life.

maturemindsonly:
the number of ppl viewing this thread omoh

I dey tell you.

TecM0:
What exactly do Ibos have to defend themselves after 60 years of independence except imaginary Biafra Secret Service


Lol

And you guys had to turn this into a tribal e-war.

God save us.

If you follow everything I typed here plus buy a digital weight scale to measure every morning before eating you will be surprised. The scale help you identify the food or activity of the previous day that is good or bad. Like me it shocked me how bad rice is, but when eaten with beans it gets better. So you need to get it. Then you discover we over chat in Nigeria, most of the time you could use for productive activity like exercise you waste it chatting yet you will maintain that you are too busy

This has been massively helpful. Thanks a million bro, you're God sent.

lefulefu:
God of mercy! 12 km everyday Bro u really sure of what u saying? u ran 12 km everyday in the past? u know how long 12km be? .i run 6km during my runnings and i do it two or sometimes three times a week.But 12km everyday dats too much ooo .or u were shedding off excess weight then? And after running the 12km u go come dey lift weight .guy no overwork ur body oo in the name of fitness .and as for the beer belly u now have maybe u should just cut down on ur portions if its not alcohol that is the cause.like someone said above me just cut down ur portions and eat them different times rather than eating eating everything at once and getting too stuffed.

It's actually the alcohol intake I must confess. I'm talking of what I did like 14-15years ago. A friend of mine back in the day Chuka used to be my motivating factor back then, the jogging was like a competition between the two of us.

lexy2014:
Bros 12km is long ooh. U might not intend lying but u may not no d actual distance u covered

A kilometer is 1000meters, I know exactly what I'm talking about. If you know Owerri, I can give you my route. I wonder what's too much in it.

LastProphet:
You don't have to develop beer belly because of your schedule, you must be doing something's wrong like:
1. Eating too much at once rather than breaking your meals into small portions to be taken max of 3 times a day
2. Sitting for too long without getting up, for me I have a standing desk I don't use sitting desk anymore
3. What you eat, have you studied the type of foods you eat?
4. Eating beyond 6pm - on this you definitely will pack on some weight
5. As you age metabolism drops so qty of food you can burn drops
6. There's still time you can squeeze out of your schedule to go for walks, evening walks after last meal is the most beneficial.

I kinda always eat late, guilty as charged.

obinna58:
Common! man you have no excuse. I run 7km 2times a week, eat twice daily and I'm so proud of my body shape. Though I never ran out of fruits, cucumber most especially.

That's my Ackles heel right there, "I hate fruits".

authority2006:
This is the problem with working out, the moment you stop is the moment that all gains are lost.

Exactly, I'm completely shadow of myself now. It really pains me.

Onnasucs1:
you run 12km every morning. Guy you're lying or you clearly don't know what 12km is

Of what use will it be if I lie. I know that it maybe I exaggerated with run, I brisk walk/jog for average of 50mins.

In honestly, I used to be a gym junkie. I'd run about 12km every morning and end up in the gym pumping weights. Now my work schedule makes this impossible. I take a look at my beer belly, look at my old pictures and truly feel like crying. Oh how the mighty has fallen.

Back to the topic, truly belly fat is the hardest to loose, as a former gym rat I always laugh whenever I see all these quick fix slimming teas and pills. Those are not just fake, but can be hazardous to health.

penplus:
What is he saying?

Thank you, the headline is damn too misleading.

saaphiere:
Using alcohol would only show the world how useless Nigerian youths are. Wouldn't you have used soft drinks?

The lawmaker was right about "Nigerian youths are on hard drugs".
An average Nigerian youth (male) drinks alcohol or uses hard drugs.

Would you lighten up a bit for heaven's sake? Don't take everything too literally.

Herbephe1:
I'm sorry, but you that you have mentorship what have you done? sex for Mark? tell us your achievement? pls go let people whose brains are still freshing take up the jobs. Nigeria lecturers are something else

Thanks for the coded insults. I totally agree with you that there are bad eggs in the system, that have totally smeared and brought unimaginable disrepute to the academia. Sex for undeserved promotion is not peculiar to the tertiary institutions, we see it everyday in this twisted world we live in today. Before I went into the academia I was a high flyer as a young man in one of the major Multinational oil companies as a contract staff. I once lost a promotion to a girl that was employed less than a week in a company that I have worked in for over a year. That lady actually f.ucked her way into being a full staff of the company. Don't get me started on the banking sector my parents are retired bankers. Sex has always been a weapon of choice for weak people to get ahead of hardworking deserving people. I'm not defending people that indulge in it, but let's call a spade a spade and not a shovel. I'm a principled individual and I know so many honorable gentlemen in the academia that won't even think of indulging in such. So please stop generalizing.

On my talk on mentorship. I worked in oil and gas industry for 6years, I won several awards in different offshore locations before I honorably left the industry and went into the academia to share knowledge. Despite my years of experience, a professor in my department had to take me under his wings and I learnt a lot from him. I'm currently one of the top ten scientist in my field in Africa. My students have one several awards in the USA, where we won the second best in the world and also won best price in a competitions in South Africa and in Ghana. I'm currently working a ground breaking research that will revolutionalize the way we do things in the world today, because of lack of funding by the Nigerian government I'm currently working with a secondary school classmate of mine who is a professor in a university in UK and who got a 5million Euro grant for our research. I have two students here in Nigeria working with me on this research and three international students, two of whom came to Nigeria last year because of our work. While the Nigerian government will give you peanuts as a research grant, other countries that know the importance of education are stealing our real Eggheads. Make una no worry una eye go soon clear.

NB: If you think I'm lying, I challenge you to send me a pm and I'll happily give you full details of who I am and my research work, hell I'll even invite you to my lab.

somehow:
since the universities have laws governing them, let them pay themselves using internally generated funds they dont remit anywhere

It's funny when I read stuffs like this, the educational sector is not run like that, if not the poor won't be able to afford education, but if it comes down that no problem. I just hope the parents of the students would be willing pay the hefty cost that will be saddled on them.

IamD18:
If you believe this lies, you can believe anything.

It's very true, I'm a university lecturer and 60k was removed from my salary through this same IPPIS when we were forced into it, now I'm currently servicing a bank loan and a mortgage, my take home is now less than 20k why the civil service rules says I most go home with atleast 1/3 of my salary. Now if not that I'm doing a few consultancy jobs, I would have died of hunger by now. IPPIS is a mess, our pecularities were not captured. Believe it or not, if this issue is not addressed the brain drain Nigeria will experience next year would be alarming. 5 of my colleagues are already on their way out,how can Uganda pay a professor about 1.8m naira and we are paid peanuts here?
I know some will say we should not leave the system, our own don too much, but remember the greenhorns that will be employed would not have any form of mentorship from seasoned academics, and our educational institutions will be producing unreliable graduates that can't stand their own.
Remember ASUU is not just talking about our renumeration but also the terrible and deplorable learning environment our students find theirselves in.

brexit:
Proscrbe all the Unions on campus and the educational system will work




ASUU president is from a State University hence he will not benefit from the struggle hence he is frustrating the move



We are deceiving ourselves

The government is already finding it difficult to find universities most of our university libraries have books from the 1970s, our lecture halls can't cater for the number of students we have, don't get me started on the hostel accommodations, students live like chickens in a poultry pen. A Professor in Nigeria currently earns less than 350k will a Professor in Uganda earns approximately 1.8m naira if you convert their currency to naira, just don't get me started on what South African academics earn. Now imagine that the FG doesn't have an ASUU to keep them on their feet. Remember these politicians have there children and wards abroad schooling and taking their parents stolen empires.


So please be careful what you wish for.

Drhealer:
May God punish both ASUU and the government.
Your wards are studying outside the country and yet claim to be fighting for the future of we students. May amadioha strike the living day out of you all.

Guy calm down, no ASUU member can afford sending their children abroad on his salary. So please direct your anger to our government officials.

Nnamdi Kalu, you see your life? What pains me the most is that you would try to advice his followers, then BOOOM!!! They are already calling you a saboteur, so you honestly cannot reason with them. This Nnamdi Kalu of a guy is in the UK while you are in Nigeria here dying for someone who is clearly a drug addict.

Nnamdi Kalu, biko stop disgracing hardworking Igbos everywhere, face your family and stop all these nonsense.

I am honestly tired of all these, Ike ihe nílé a agwụ go mụ.

Brandonx:
Education in Nigeria is in shambles, lecturers be using archaic models to lecture students.

You won't blame the university lecturers for that you can only work with the equipment given to you. I happen to work in a university myself, I was doing a research work with a student and an equipment that we need to get the analysis done was nowhere to be found in the whole country, we had to send the samples to Canada in other to get the job done. It's not our fault, blame it on the system. I had to write to buy the equipment for my university, that particular equipment is worth about 250m naira and my application was bounced back, now you can understand why ASUU is demanding for revitalization fund to atleast keep up other countries universities, but our politicians insist on looting our funds and sending their kids to foreign universities. But no matter how bad the system is, we still produce some of the best brains in the world.

Brandonx:
Tertiary Education is overhyped in Nigeria. Let our universities be closed for at least five years to enable youth development themselves in other aspects. Universities be churning out graduates no job.

Our youths should go learn something else; they could go into production.

I would have agreed with you, but believe me you can never over stress the importance of education (tertiary education in this case) not everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur the same way not everyone is cut out for university education. There has to be a midpoint acting as a fulcrum for balance.

Dididrumz:
If they don't call of the strike today then let's just forget about school till next year.

I believe they will get over with this week.

derrick015:
Good morning.

Please I need suggestions.

What kind of prayers should I pray when the temptation arises, which Bible verse should I read?

Please know this is someone who's been addicted to porn for more than 7 years.

Look I was addicted to porn and I used to w*nk off alot. But to the glory of God I gave up that filthy habit a few years ago. I was constantly praying over it for God to help me stop, but no way. It was as if the more I prayed the worst I got. But I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit a few years ago and I sacrificed porn and masturbation on the Alter in exchange for something personal, and that did the trick, agreed sometimes the thought sort of breezes into my head, but I pray it off and keep off all these sensual music videos and movies. Something triggers you, find out what it is and deal with it.

helinues:
No be GEJ be president.

So I repeat,na empty threat

I once had a sit-down with these guys when I was part of an IOC team that went to discuss with them some years ago. Jokes apart no government would even dream of an all out confrontation with these guys. The own the creeks, they know every where and it would be a logistical nightmare for the amphibious unit of the NA to dream of even going there. Believe me I know, So this one no bi GEJ or Buhari, any sensible government would prefer to discuss with them than to fight

Kriss216:
Calling Nigerian policemen bunch of coconut head is a big insult to all coconuts!

I dey tell you Coconuts should protests this insult. Una no go kee me with laff for this nairaland.

lildonn222:
I'm sorry about that please.

It's all good.

lildonn222:
come up with a better one and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Thanks for the insults, or do you have another one remaining for me?

bunmconig:
I’ve been hearing some news that people went to loot a warehouse containing palliatives.

This is just to reassure the govt that the news is fake and those photos/videos are photoshopped.

No Nigerian went into any warehouse.
Rats working with unknown forces did this. Thank you
