It's like ikwechegh is the new problem or spam on nairaland

Dedetwo:
Bro, Chibuike Amaechi, who has publicly proclaimed himself Igbo is okay with me. However as Minister of Transportation, he has failed so far to bring the goodies home.

Totally failed

Dedetwo:
Bro south-south does not exist outside the goofy and so-called Niger Delta. When they want to cheat the people from so-called Niger Delta, they cajole them with south-south. But when it comes to how the national cake should be properly distributed, they lump them into East without the courtesy of qualifying the East.

I was wondering too why they are lumping the south east and south South together, reeks of mischief. Like I said, no matter what they say .. the current thing being considered is south east presidency, not Igbo presidency and there's no south South in it.
All this lumping na to bring in Amaechi from the backdoor

Tecno66:
The big deal is that OBJ has served 8 years for the SE and so it is now the turn of the SW. Can you see the logic now?

Those seeing this so called logic have the IQ of a baby seriously
I'm laughing hard right now if this is the best that the so called politic think tank the west could muster after the north dribbled them to the substitute bench of APC

Tecno66:
The big deal is that OBJ has served 8 years for the SE and so it is now the turn of the SW. Can you see the logic now?

Hahahaha... Sophistication ko, morons ni... Reeks of desperation. Tinubu is seeing it in all slip away, the north is dribbling him and if this is the card he's playing, then it's really bad

nisai:
They are playing the cards gradually. By the time it gets to the check-up stage in 2023, then Igbos will be forced to learn politics. Strategy and tactics saturated with sophistication

You mustn't be honest with your enemy in battle. When you are weak you pretend strong to scare them off. When you are strong, you pretend weak to lure them to you. This is not deceit. It is called Strategy. Indeed, the Yorubas are sophisticated. You Igbos are always in awe of their maneuvering.

We are waiting for this so called DNA sophistication from the rantings of a drink and weed smoker. If the presidency is not zoned to the south east (note that I didn't say Igbo presidency before disloyal usurpers in the south South start foaming in the mouth), then na North go rule another 8yrs straight so that we continue in that line of foolishness of 2015

Have u heard of prisoners swap? The uk does it. It depends on the type of negotiation involved. Bt sm people just shout don’t negotiate with bla bla bla. Bandits have not been proscribed yet even. We don’t have enough information on who they are.

And u talk cut ur loses like Ure doing Tom cruise is mission impossible even America won’t say what u just said and this is Nigeria. U need to stop watching to many Hollywood movies.

U must save lives 1st not cut ur loses and move on. It’s still same Nigerians saying don’t negotiate with terrorists that will eat u raw when thing go bad.

I'm not talking movies and it's about the bigger picture not short term gains that are actually closet losses.
Keep pandering to them and the problem continues to expand.

jaxxy:
If u don’t negotiate with them what do u do?? U can’t risk attacking them with many innocent people they can use as human shields meaning there might be casualties . Then on the other hand the opposition is playing politics and putting pressure on the government to bring them back immediately like its magic

No government should ever negotiate with terrorists, it always backfires. Do your job with high tech teams or forces or cut your losses and bombard them and finish them off or else they will come back a thousand times and cost you everything

ajebuter:
Who's comparing Lagbaja to Fela?

How can you compare ' Death' ( Fela) and ' Sleep' ( Lagbaja)??

I mean, what is this Kati-kati??

It should not even be discussed at all...

Shouldn't even be discussed at all

tempest01:
Nobody is asking why the state house is being used for APC meeting. This country has gone to the dogs.

I swear, we're gone mentally.
Just wait long enough and you will see them attacking you for pointing this out.
That's how this country is designed now

Ctorch:
The Ngwa are Igbos. The Ikwerre are Igbos. They are offsprings of the same father. So the statement attributed to His Excellency, Barrister Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State was shocking. He said an illustrious Igbo son, and I believe he was referring to the Honorable Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, was only claiming to be Igbo to further his ambition of becoming Nigerian president come 2023. Wike further disclaimed being Igbo himself.




Agreed, Wike has the right to hold any view so far as it is within the ambit of the law and not counter-productive. He can define himself in any manner he deems fit. But Amaechi, who holds the traditional chieftaincy title of ”Ochi Ariri Ikwerre,” meaning the Defender of Ikwerre in Times of Difficulty, also has the same right to see and define himself as Igbo. Wike does not enjoy the prerogative of determining himself and at the same time defining others.

Amaechi was former National President of the National Union of Rivers State Students, NURSS. He was former Speaker of Rivers House of Assembly, Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria, two-term governor of Rivers, Chairman of the Governors Forum of Nigeria, GFN, and two-term Minister of Transportation. He is the first Nigerian to be appointed Minister of Transportation and first Ikwerre to be appointed full-fledged Grade A minister. As an Ikwerre, I am proud of Amaechi. As an Igbo, I am also proud of him.


Coming from the humanities, Amaechi is conscious of history and social anthropology. He said, “Look, I’m Ikwerre. But I’m also Igbo.” By so saying he did not in any way stop any Ikwerre from presenting himself as non-Igbo. Such an Ikwerre who denies his Igbo identity would have to explain himself to the gods.

Amaechi’s assertion of his Igboness on the BBC should not cause anyone a headache.


The Ikwerre Is Igbo

It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria.

Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement.

Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it.

Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life.

Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland.

The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi?

The Ikwerre: Space and Survival

We must resolve all outstanding issues occasioned by the military-inspired partition of Ikwerreland as war booty. Our irreducible stand includes:
One, Ikwerres are Igbos and Ikwerreland is so important to the Igbo that they will never take any step to destroy Ikwerres or toy with their destiny. In geo-strategic terms, Ikwerreland is the tongue of the Igbo race to the sea.

Two, we are aware there are plans to landlock the Igbo nation. These plans are rooted in history. My brother and personal friend, Wike, should not be a crusader for such plans because it will be resisted with the sword as no nation will allow itself to be landlocked. All legitimate, moral and spiritual means available to Ndigbo would be used to resist the excise of Ikwerreland from the larger Igboland.

Three, “Obigbo,” means “Heart of Igboland.” It is the right name for that Local Government Area, LGA. “Oyigbo” means nothing and was never and will never be the name of Obigbo. The British met local people on ground who said their world was called Obigbo. Any researcher can go there and verify for himself. None should be persecuted for calling Obigbo its original pre-civil war name. I, Uche Okwukwu, call it Obigbo and I have no apologies for that.

Four, “Ohiaemeru” is the original name for Borokiri. It was the British who removed the indigenous Ikwerre population there before declaring the place Crown Land between 1913-1923. Equally so, “Igweocha” or “Diobu” is the original name for Port Harcourt. We must set the record straight.

Five, demographically and historically, Igbos constitute the majority in the Niger Delta. Wike’s idea of the region is flawed considering that nine states make up the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, namely, Imo, Abia, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Ondo and Rivers. It is absurd and unacceptable stating that Umuagwo is not in the Niger Delta but Ogoja is. Be that as it may, there is now a statutory definition of the region manifest in the NDDC Act.
Any definition that excludes the Igbo from the Niger Delta, or tends to disenfranchise them from the privileges thereof, is unacceptable. This is because there were plans in the past that destroyed any benefit coming to the Igbo. Boundary adjustments were carried out to remove oil-producing areas from the former East Central State.


Six, in terms of ethnicity and language, Igbos are also in the majority in Rivers. It is fallacious that there are no Igbos here. Igbos are here because Ikwerres are Igbos. Ogbas are Igbos, Ekpeyes are Igbos. Etches are Igbos. Obigbos are Igbos. So no one can talk about Igbos coming in to cause trouble. Igbos are peaceful. Rivers is our home, and we are its autochthones.

Seven, Binis have no cultural or historical link with Ikwerres. We worship different gods, have different market days with different monarchical structures. Our Kingship is not from father to son like the Binis. Our kingship is based on gerontocracy where the oldest person assumes leadership. What brought us together was the 1914 amalgamation. No pre-colonial or colonial record has it that Ikwerres migrated from Benin. The post-war purported claim that Ikwerres are Binis is parasitic, defeatist and self-hate.


Eight, Ikwerreland is heavily garrisoned. Two million Ikwerres in four LGAs are tightly sandwiched by two naval barracks at Iwofe and Borokiri; two army barracks at Port Harcourt and Elele; air force base in Port Harcourt and an army shooting range in Igwuruta. Large swathes of land were appropriated for the building of the international airport, University of Port Harcourt and its teaching hospital, Rivers State University, Ignatius Ajuru University, Nigerian Television Authority, Area 1 Seaport, etc.

We believe in the unity of this country but the Federal Government should dismantle the military formations and return their locations to land-bereft inner-city Ikwerres. Our burgeoning population has no living space and this could lead to the Oromo experience.


Why is Wike denying his Igbo roots?

Wike is an illustrious Ikwerre son. And for emphasis, he is an Igbo man. A kettle might call itself an electric kettle, but it remains a kettle. Wike will do himself great service to forget the purported prejudice of the past and assert his Igboness. You don’t deny your own roots because they may not be there anymore when later you need them. All those who deny their people have always regretted it.

Was Wike not doing an overkill saying that an Igbo son desirous to be president was claiming to be Igbo? His utterance undermines our 2023 presidential project. My real pain concerning Wike’s outburst is why he chose these trying moments when some mischievous Nigerians lumped Ndigbo with IPOB. It is frightening and I would like to know who is writing the script for him.
There was no nexus between the ENDSARS protest and an innocent Igbo desirous to be president. Where is the link? Wike is not a member of the APC. It is not his business who becomes the party’s flag bearer in 2023. He should be more concerned with the presidential candidate of his own Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Who drafted this spoiler-script for Wike?

In these trying moments when our own son, Nnamdi Kanu, has taken negative steps to bring us to public scorn, our brother, Wike, must not help our detractors consummate their agenda. Ndigbo have made it abundantly clear that IPOB does not represent their interests. It assaulted Ike Ekweremadu in Germany and Amaechi in Spain. It also insulted Orji Uzoh Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Nnia Nwodo, Ralph Uwazurike, Uche Okwukwu, etc. Naturally, one would call on Wike to retract his statement.
I’m sure Wike wanted to exonerate himself from the IPOB excesses by saying he wasn’t Igbo. But none has said that IPOB was Igbo, not even the Federal Government. They know that Kanu’s followers are not limited to Igbos alone. There are elements from other ethnic groups. But anytime Kanu erred, instead of dealing with him alone, they deal with every Igbo.

The Federal Government must be careful dealing with IPOB bearing in mind the way the war ended and how those who were defeated perceive Nigeria. Agitation for Biafra can be doused by giving the Igbo a bite of the cherry. For instance, forty years after the creation of Rivers the Ikwerre were excluded from ruling the state. Things got so heated up till Ikwerres came to power.
Likewise, separatists can be contained by giving the Igbo the chance to rule Nigeria. Such brinkmanship can avert an implosion in the former Eastern Region likely to consume everyone, including those who don’t believe in IPOB. Wike himself may not be safe from such a catastrophe.

Amaechi and Okonjo-Iweala
Amaechi is one of our best to run for the office of the president of Nigeria. A pan-Nigerian with large heart and strong character, he will privilege an all-inclusive government.
But if Nigerians desire a female president the most qualified is Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. As former Minister of Finance and Managing Director of the World Bank, she’ll create the enabling environment for self-employment.

We also have other qualified Igbos. As former local government chairman, Chief of Staff to Rivers State Government and minister, Wike has the credentials to vie for the office of Nigerian president as an Igbo. I urge him to present himself as you can never be defeated in a war you didn’t fight. Let him be courageous to step forward.

Okorocha is qualified to lead Nigeria. With his Rochas Foundation, he is training over 55,000 African children.
The cerebral Senator Chris Ngige, wonderful man who turned around a failed Anambra State as governor, can run for the Nigerian presidency. A charismatic politician with a vast appetite for discipline, he laid an enviable foundation in governance unmatched. The roads he built between 2003 and 2006 are still intact as if they were tarred yesterday. As a senator in the opposition, he contributed in consolidating Nigerian democracy.

Ogbonnaya Onu is the father of opposition politics in Nigeria. From 1999-2015 he was in the opposition showing principle. Amiable and calm, Onu has a Doctorate in Chemical Engineering and established the Department of Chemical Engineering in the University of Port Harcourt. He is eminently qualified to lead Nigeria.

To the ruling APC, we shall present these greats for the party to make its choice
Equity means Igbos must be accorded the right to first choice and first refusal to produce the next president. The journey is long and road tough. But we are confident of light at the end of the tunnel. From a people who call God “Chukwu,” heaven “Eligwe,” earth “Ali,” Lucifer “Ekwensu,” water “Mini” and salt “Nnu,” Nigerian president will emerge in 2023.

We are not bothered whether the Nigerian president of Igbo extraction will come from the Igbanke in Edo; Asa/Azumili in Akwa Ibom, Anioma/Osimili in Delta, or Ogba/Obigbo in Rivers. Our goal is producing Nigerian president so that pains arising from decades of exclusion can be addressed; even though he may not do much for Ndigbo.

All this epistle just to validate Amaechi and ikwerre all of a sudden.
Please, the issue being discussed is zoning of presidency to the south east not south South.
They can be Igbo all they want, if they are in the south South, just forget it.

Who asked her these questions? Why should we care?

Neddstark:
IF you ever become president of Nigeria, make sure you have an extremely loyal chief of Army staff like Buratai is to Buhari. E get why

Who told you he's actually loyal? That's how all of them talk publicly while in actual fact they are the proponents of the coup plot.
Believe them at your peril, he may trying to deflect attention

OZOnNengiTheory:
So you mean DJ Bitch who saw over 70 corpses even though she could not cover them was seeing double at the lekki toll gate?

This country is incredible... How can a whole chief of the army make this kind of insensitive statement This current regime is filled with jokers

ABlAstate:
You are yapping rubbish and nonsense at the same time. Awka FLYOVERS are beautiful and structurally sound. I asked your fellow empty heads why was Asaba FLYOVER barricaded too, but they all ran away without explanation. Ndi ala Ndi ala.


[s][/s]

Flyovers are not event centres to be decorated, functionality matters. Failed governments hyping themselves for morons that don't know better. See their online handlers here too, giving absolutely daft reasons for the barricade
It's incredible and one of the few wonders if the world that a supposed flyover diverts heavy traffic to where it was built to relieve

ABlAstate:
Shut up you have no right to quote me and post nonsense. What Obiano built in Awka is a worldclass solid FLYOVERS. The barricade was done to prevent situations where trucks fell off from FLYOVERS like we always see in Lagos, even Delta state has copied the same barricade from Anambra. See one of the beautiful structurally sound FLYOVER constructed by Obiano.


[s][/s]

Does your explanation sound alright to you Where in the world do you build flyovers so that onward high traffic can be diverted to the side clogging up further the area it was meant to decongest??
What kind of morons do you guys take us for? Una don chop money dey explain rubbish, rubbish mounds of cement. And stop mentioning Asaba, no be the same chop I chop be that?

Chibueze90:
Sir, there are no better time until we decide to make things better.
Our dear country just need our prayers cause so many things are going wrong..
If you watched CNN broadcast on lekki shootings today, you will see that these country need serious prayers and support
Anyway thank you Cox atleast I learnt one or two things from our little convo..
That is what education is all about.
God bless

Good to have this discussion with you, we all sharpen ourselves. Good luck brother

Chibueze90:
Hmmm, now I see
You pointing out ippis as d reason for ASUU strike is wrong, from my interactions with my colleagues that are lecturers, I found out some fact that fg will not tell u
Are you aware that ippis was intially introduced to uni in 2013 but some errors were pointed out by ASUU to fg with AGF in the meeting, Fg agreed they there was error and ASUU proposed that they can create an alternative plaform, FG and Senate agreed and gave them go ahead, I even learnt that a committee on that was formed by the AGF to supervise and monitored the development, now 2020,utas was ready and fg is playing politics, even the errors ASUU discovered were not yet corrected on IPPIS AFTER 7YRS!!!!!
Sir, the only reason I am in partial support of ASUU is...I graduated as a metallurgical engineering but can I tell you that throughout my 5yrs in sch, I didn't see LIQUID METAL cos we have only empty lab it even affected me on my job hunting if not for GOD's mercy.

I will fault ASUU somehow, since we all know that fg is not concern and show no adequate interest in our uni. ASUU shud just apply what you guys(health practitioners) did by only fighting for there allowances and salary only and leave the other infrastructure and revitilazation at God's mercy, that would be better.
Sir, FG knows what ASUU is talking about, that is why they re not applying threat or sanctions like the way they threatened HEALTH PRACTITIONERS last 2 months or so..
ASUU should just abadon everything like the way HEALTH PRACTITIONERS abandoned ASO ROCK CLINIC revitalization and focus solemly on their pocket.

Well, I didn't know that ASUU had wranglings with FG as way back as 2013, that actually changes things. I'm not against ASUU though, just perplexed that they let the strike linger this long in this covid 2020.
Health practitioners have not abandoned the health care sector, we are actually over stretching our selves to see it work. I know lecturers and students feel handicapped by lack of resources, I went through the system myself and it's frustrating. I still find it frustrating as a civil servant and you have to take care not to lose yourself in the madness. The FG is never sincere But I also think many lecturers inadvertently take out the frustration on students but that's a story aside.
ASUU just should have postponed this tough posturing till better times, it's a tough tough yr and you can imagine the tough situation their families are in. This buhari regime seems intent on not listening much to anyone, if UTAS was being negotiated from the beginning, by all means negotiations should continue till both parties are satisfied

Chibueze90:
If I may ask, which of the MDAs do you work?

I'm a top healthcare professional, that's enough to know for an anonymous forum.
You can go ahead and list your MDA if you so please, obviously it's ASUU�

Nauttyprof:
Just the way the Government know it all and not open to the citizens view?

Is this the government you support?

Don't get me wrong, I have never and will never support this administration but even this IPPIS idea predates this govt and was designed to solve problems.
The government doesn't know it all, but ASUU can't be crying much more than other professionals and workers paid via IPPIS who were patient enough to resolve issues.
I wonder why ASUU members want a quick response and resolution when they too are guilty of delays at their work places with programs lasting longer than allocated. Besides, being booky doesn't equate to administrative experience and ensuring ease of work and accountability.
ASUU has genuine concerns but don't act like the concerns of those running the civil service are stupid. I for one won't tolerate staff ganging up and insisting on inconvenient insecure ways for me to pay them money. It will have to be scrutinized properly before acceptance and the situation managed as regards to other patient civil servants who may rebel leading to anarchy

Nauttyprof:
I don't know if you are pained by my point but the truth still remains the same. The government cannot be seen as superior in knowledge when you are dealing with those who run the institution of higher learning.

Simple fact.

I'm just saying it as I see it, not pained. We all passed through a university, some or many people in government have PhD and high educational credentials which they need to progress up plus real administrative experience. I wonder why you think the lecturers in the universities know it all... And there lies the difference between us and the west, the most open minded teachers I have ever had thought out my journey were westerners, they know they don't know it all and are open to other views or argument.

Nauttyprof:
What breach? Are government platforms not breached also? So, please stop raising dust over this.

This is the reason why we never value our own and also believe the other is superior. For ASUU to have developed UTAS, they also have considered and weighed all issues too. Stop sounding as if these people are illiterate and not knowledgeable while the government know so much.

Even the same ASUU are breached too and stop acting like ASUU is all knowing and filled with world class individuals. It's Nigeria and the corrupt recruitment system is same for ASUU. Even those with questionable credentials finally automatically fall under ASUU so chill

Chibueze90:
then what are you trying to say?
like you said, their must be continuity.
your point is that you will rather accept to buy a software from a stranger than the one a friend gave u for FREE?

SIR an IT expert cannot just assume and conclude that a software is impotent base on mere assumption, there conclusion will be base on the result obtained from series of testing,
re you aware that utas just passed the first phase (major) of niitda integrity test?

Most free software from friends were also bought by them. I didn't say UTAS is impotent, I was talking about free software generally. There's no free lunch even in free town, you pay somehow so don't blame me or act like you won't be suspicious of unexpectedly free stuff from your usual antagonists.
No public news has come out about ippis from niitda so I don't know.

Chibueze90:
can you pls tell us how long it took them to rectify your payment?...
6,7,8,9 or 12 months

It took 3-6months
Ippis took on a lot of load recently from all the new appointments spurred by elimination of the old corrupt system. The same staff handling the previous number of people may be overwhelmed and not the factor in this covid issue downscaling workforce over the months.

Chibueze90:
I will answer you accordingly..
ippis did not create room for outstation allowance for oil workers,what ippis captures are just the basic and consistent allowance that is entitled to workers monthly, but those rare allowance that do come occasionally, like this out station or field allowance that may occur maybe twice a year or thereabouts, ippis don't cover such
ippis don't have room for hazard allowance ( ssanu and naat),
ippis don't have room for sabbatical, dynamic promotion ( Cox lecturers promotion doesn't have a specific time unlike other civil servant,), pgd supervision allowance, adjunct lecturers pay, And also taxes are being deducted from there gross monthly intake cos lecturers salaries are consolidated.
finally, on the issue you raised about the BACKEND?
you know that the BACKEND of a website or software stays with the programmer,
IPPIS platform was designed by World bank and you don't expect them to give us access to the BACKEND because we didn't buy the software, it was RENTED to us, pls do research on that and prove me wrong
And finally sir let me ask you a rthetorical question,
let assume you as the head of an organization
You were rented a software that takes a very long time for some modifications to be made AND a friend proposed an alternative software for you for FREE,
As the head, won't you give the alternative a chance since you have nothing to lose Cox it's free or will you just ignore ,sit down and conclude that the alternative lack continuity without proving it?
your answer is good as mine

I don't understand, I am paid hazard allowance on IPPIS so I don't understand what you mean by not factored in. Also health workers were paid covid allowance over 3months separately on IPPIS. The same health workers (ie resident doctors) do not have automatic promotion, they have to pass exams and properly notify the hospital and finance sections before an upgrade which may take months.
Why Una too para? Has your union tried solving these problems via IPPIS? Sounds like you guys just started sulking from the get go. people have been on these ippis for ages and have been sorting out allowances. A one off allowance I was owed for yrs for first paid by ippis once logged.

Nauttyprof:
What breach? Are government platforms not breached also? So, please stop raising dust over this.

This is the reason why we never value our own and also believe the other is superior. For ASUU to have developed UTAS, they also have considered and weighed all issues too. Stop sounding as if these people are illiterate and not knowledgeable while the government know so much.

I never said UTAS was inferior, I am just saying that you can't just produce free software without continuity. It's still an untested platform no matter what ASUU says and who says we must trust the developers because they are Nigerian? If my employee went home and brought a software for me to pay him with, naturally I will be suspicious. let's remove sentiments at look at this issue from the side

Chibueze90:
oga nobody is saying Ippis is a fraud...what ASUU are saying is that ippis cannot cover universities peculiarities, ssanu ,naat, nasu and asup re being paid by Ippis since 2020 and up till now those unions re still complaining of irregularities in there payment.. a platform that cannot correct workers pay for successful 9+ month should clearly tell u that truly ippis can't do universities job. SIMPLE

Like I said, we were there at the start of IPPIS and it took a while to conform as it is a new experience. Give it time.
I have been paid wrongly or not being paid at all for long periods under the old system. The old system also had spurious deductions and sometimes tax and pension We'rent remitted.
Calm down

Chibueze90:
oga check Pengasson, nasu, asup, college of education, ssnau have been complaining since February, by nothing has been done..
do you know why it's taking months?
let me tell you this that ippis was rented to fg and no modifications can be done on the platform here in Nigeria becos the BACKEND of the platform is in USA...any modifications will require additional charge on the 12$ per enrolee yearly due fg pays to them..
Which sensible country will entrust the data of there country to a foreign country?

Can you list some of the complaints here pls? People complain a lot, maybe the right tax was applied and they started crying wolf. if federal healthcare institutions with their own peculiarities are using IPPIS, what's so peculiar about nasu and ssanu? What's so peculiar about pengassan pls? We need to know because all workers have these so called 'pecularities'. All I see is that the chopping was removed from Lower down and moved up.
Which backend is in the USA exactly and which company? The whole effing internet routes through servers in the US and other parts of the world outside Nigeria and nothing has happened.

Nauttyprof:
IPPIS pays and yet, the government keeps paying for using the platform when UTAS is free.

And also remember we are dealing with very sensitive data here, any breach will be catastrophic

Nauttyprof:
IPPIS pays and yet, the government keeps paying for using the platform when UTAS is free.

Have you ever used free software? For continued developer support, routine maintenance, warding off hacker attacks and fixing of glitches, you need to pay.
That's why free anti-virus software is useless.
If UTAS is free, good for it, but what about the future?
I pay for computer anti-virus for my devices every year and I have never had any issues. Issues mean loss of data and money

Nauttyprof:
This government is sick. UTAS is subjected to trials by National Information Technology Development Agency and still at the second phase. Can they tell us what happened to IPPIS when it overpaid and underpaid some lecturers?

I just don't understand the way this government think everyone does not matter except the politicians.

Even the old system had initial errors of underpayment and overpayment, pls complain and have it rectified. I have also been underpaid once while working abroad and my calling their attention to it solved the problem. Stop hyping administrative issues, IPPIS pays depending on the data inputed.
