E NO GO BETTER FOR WHOSOEVER IS BANKROLLING ASUU PRESIDENT TO PLAY THE ROLE OF OPPOSITION PARTY.

Buddha3:
Lmao!

A bunch of incompetent, crass and corrupt politicians are engaging a body of determined Academics drawn from all career fields, in a legal battle. More like a cautionary tale of a chicken challenging a cheetah to a race.

These politicians earmark humongous sums to themselves as salaries and undeserved emoluments on a monthly basis. They budget unimaginable sums to fix their working environments (as was the case when billions were budgeted to replace the roof of the National Assembly complex, as if they intended to roof an Olympic stadium), buy themselves the latest and most classy vehicles running into hundreds of millions of dollars, turn around to under-fund our educational sector and daft youths are here singing their praises.

I am 100% in support of ASUU. It's about time we got it right with education, at the very least.

Treasuredgift:
But they have not being paid. Consider their families too

frank14011991:
I am suspecting this man to be working for opposition parties

Parachoko:
How will ASUU compensate the students they have waste their time?

Laggafin:
ASUU should just open schools for 2 days and declare another strike.. simple. Nobody will accuse them of any breach or contempt of the law

JJuanMiguel:
ASUU should rest.
When Nigerians are ready they will respond at the polls by voting visionary leaders.
Enough of these their annual vacations in guise of strike.
The strike itself is a problem and you can't combat a problem with another problem.
There incessant strikes has been and will only create more problems.

If they don't want to understand that their strike is not working, but only causing problems for others, then i support the evil government to continue to torture them while they lament daily about empty stomach.

Even if i abscond from my work for 2 months, my stomach will become empty talk less of 8 months, maybe they're expecting manna from heaven to come and fill their stomachs

GerogeI:
Labour disputes are never settled in court. Simply because the court cannot bar unions from protest through strike. If the court orders the call of of one strike, it will be obeyed. However a different strike with new demands will begin. All these gimmicks have happened before under Babangida, Abacha and Obj. Ngige is only reinventing the wheel, which we know does not kill ASUU strikes. A labourer is entitled to fair wage for his labour, and has every right to negotiate for it. The FG also has the right to sack all ASUU members, only we know they cannot recruit new ones because they do not exist. Minimum Qualification for lecturing is a PhD according to NUC.


Did Buhari not know when he devalued naira from 240 to 700 per usd in exchange for loans to build railway to Niger Republic that the workers wages will become meaningless?

How can a Prof., an erudite scholar of 20 years be earning N400,000 , about 600 usd per month, but an aid to Buhari earns N800,000 as basic. A mere seat warmer in the senate goes home withmore than N30m every month, and you say ASUU is your national problem.

You that is arguing just because you want to finish school. You do not realise that your own future is at stake. When you finish you get a job paying 30k per month when 1 usd is 700. How will you function without stealing wherever you are. How will you an employer cope with workers who steal everything in site due to your poor pay, since your customers have low purchasing power as Govt. has devalued their earnings to get foriegn loans at their expense.

Revaluing workers wages in Nigeria always starts with ASUU, after them teachers will rise up next. Blame the economically daft debt ridden govt. and CBN governor. Things must balance out, its simple law of demand and supply.

duro4chang:
ASUU has taken the matter too far. The purpose of this strike has been defeated.

frank14011991:
You no even comprehend wetin you post, you dey disturb mod

membranus:
Until then.

For now, it is just your own insinuation.

And just for an advice, use this time to learn a technical skill, and stop wasting your time on social media. Other students are doing so, and are not missing the school as much as you are.

It appears you are idle.

Learn tech and earn money.

lookingfly:
you have a better job for him if he resigns?

alimiadedayo1:
if they born your generation well come and meet me in Abuja at lugbe if you will receive sense

membranus:
Says who.

membranus:
Idi Amin and Ghadaffi did worse, where are they now? Thrown into dustbin of history.

Don't copy them, copy Mandela, copy Gani Fawehinmi, copy Fela Anikulap Kuti, who stood by the masses, and their memories are evergreen.

As for ASUU, Aluta continua, Victoria ascerta!

membranus:
You are one of the lilly livered ones I described above. The real and principled ones know themselves, you are not among them. Your own is how to run away from home to go and enjoy yourself in school.

Be a man for once, and support a good cause. Stop being selfish.

nams77:
Is thst what the constitution says? That's what I'm interested in

membranus:
The students, including my daughter at OAU, are not complaining. They understand that the fight is a just one, and that it is for them.

So they stand gidigba behind their lecturers, who are not lilly livered like some people here. Who preach what they cannot take from anyone else.

alimiadedayo1:
see this useless guy who told you I am a lecturer infact there are a lot of ill trained kids here on nairaland.. can you talk to me like that face to face infact if you do that you are dead gone like a wind

StainlessCup:
The court is not the right way to resolve issues like this. This would bring the education system to its knee. I for see a situation where ASUU would call FG and appeal court's bluff.
We are watching

muykem:
They have option of resignation if they are not pleased with their work. Many of them will eventually lose their job after this judgment. I am not supporting federal government but ASUU is inconsiderable. There's no sector or federal government workers that are being treated better than ASUU.

lookingfly:
do you have any relative that's a federal or state university lecturer?

Kastonkastroll:
The funny thing is even if government adhere to their demands, this same ASUU will look for another excuse to hold innocent students at ransome. See my junior ones that are supposed to graduate this year wasting away because of one useless union.

Aswear make federal government deregister ASUU so that everybody go rest. You didn't work for how many months and you are expecting government to pay you your full salaries and benefits. No be juju be that

What about the students that you wasted their time, na who go compensate them.

Graceunlimitedd:
so what's the supreme Court made for?

Kasssandra:
I am not a lecturer, but if I was one, I would go to a private uni, earn a higher salary, and also get some better facilties.

At the end, it is the government universites that will suffer from continued poor funding. And most of the people who go there are poor people.

University costs money. For many years we tried to run them as cheaply as possible...and thus they became so substandard. If you want it to continue like that, fine. If you cannot send your child there tomorrow...fine. But if it is what you can afford, then sorry....your child is going to be disadvantaged vs the graduate from private university.

I honestly wish there was an easy answer to this matter.

NinjaXmetahuman:
then they turn around and claim they love Nigeria more than everyone else.

Evil people.
