Education › Re: FG Begins Implementation Of Signed FG-ASUU Agreement Under President Tinubu by edogu(m): 12:06pm On Feb 10
LabStores:
Your rant doesn't make sense at all.
Firstly, hazard allowance was peculiar to NAAT members because they work in the laboratories and workshops, but the non-teaching staff used greed and "I want it too" to hijack and compel government to give them too. Does it make sense for someone who work in the office under A.C to also be collecting the same amount of hazard allowance like someone who works in the laboratories and workshops and is exposed to different hazards and dangers?
You mentioned conferences and journals, is it only ASUU members that do that? Don't laboratory and research search do it too? Some of you are just greedy and unreasonable, you always want all to yourselves, this is why peace and cooperation is far from the system.
The 40% is clearly not for any allowance, it's not specific for anything, but on total present salary. The only specific one is for the professors.
You complained that I'm ranting but you ended up doing the same 'ranting'. There's no need working yourself up over nothing. Your union leaders are already in dialogue with the FG. Just pray that the outcome will yield good fruits.

This is interesting
But, is it only ASUU members that are in the university workforce?
What about NAAT, NASU and SSANU?
You think those ones will watch ASUU collect increments and keep quiet?
Out of four Unions, you only picked one out, because they're the ones that makes the loudest noise?
FG never ready...
First, that money is meant for conferences, books, journal publication, data etc
Secondly, when FG approved 30k hazard allowance for virtually all the non teaching staff, the academic staff never for one day complained about it.
Thirdly, when ASUU embarked on a two weeks warning strike few months ago, some of your colleagues were on various social media platforms mocking ASUU members on whether they can withstand 'no work, no pay'.

Instead of complaining, just pray that current negotiations between your union leaders and the FG will be fruitful. Simple!

I'm not from Ogun but from the information that I've gathered, the current administration remains the worst that have governed the state in the past. Ogun is supposed to be competing with Lagos owing proximity or even beat Lagos in every ramifications. Nigeria and poor leadership na 5 & 6.

You raised a good point even though it's one sided. Someone reading this may think the problem is always from the man's side. There is this thing that I've come to understand about relationship and that's: if a relationship ends, it's either you are greedy or you were not fairly or well treated.
Politics › Re: Sanusi To Remain Kano Emir Despite Defection To APC– Gov Yusuf by edogu(m): 9:00am On Jan 31
As it stands, there's tension already due to the ongoing issues between the present government and Kwakwanso. Therefore, it doesn't do anyone any good to further heat up system already fragile political system.

I just hope that the current Emir will do everything possible to stay away from politics. As a custodian of the traditional stool, that position is meant to be apolitical.

That's what exposure does to you. If he had remained in Lagos, probably he would have sticked with Yoruba. But finding himself in a terrain, where members come from different tribes, English remains the best option. I'm glad he's not relenting.

Can you specify which arrears? From which govt? Arrears of what? They went on strike during Buhari everybody begged them to resume they refused but now want Tinubu to pay arrears of work they deliberately refused to do and to you its fine ba? If I'm Tinubu I won't pay it let heaven I won't pay it let them go to Katsina where Buhari was buried and ask him to pay the arrears. Ok.
25/35% salary increment which took effect Jan. 2023. Unfortunately, government started from Jan. 2024.

It's fine stay at home and hunger will reset your brains I believe you have saved enough cash and food to sustain you? If yes, then go on strike. Tinubu has no child still going to uni in Nigeria, Shetima has no child still going to uni in Nigeria, obi and atiku that are pushing you has none of their children going to uni in Nigeria its you and your children who wil suffers terribly so go ahead.

When you people dared Buhari he ignored you all for 2 good years and refused to pay you all, who was at lost? It was you all and not Buhari because Buhari no send anybody.
Government is owing FTIs 12 months arrears and you expect them not act. Well, I don't blame you.

badoh:
The Tertiary educational system has not witnessed disruption for the last 2 years since Tinubu came on board however you can imagine how some unfortunate ones are celebrating and urging ASUU to not back down because they just want the govt to fail and fall by all means. ASUU problem never started with Tinubu and all the past presidents before Tinubu had failed in their capacity as president to resolve this. Why was this issue not resolved during Jonathan's 6years in power? You won't see them blame Jonathan but their hatred is directed at Tinubu. Sebi they also have their children in public universities in Nigeria, when their children sit at home for a longer time, dem go know Whatsapp. President Tinubu should as a matter of fact see what can be done to resolve this lingering issue with ASUU so that the prayers of those children of hate who wants his government to fall will not come to pass.
Tinubu's administration has experienced two years uninterrupted strike not because all is well but because of the assurances that everything will be resolved. Seeing that the government hasn't been sincere with them, the union had to declare strike.

Career › Re: Proposed Retirement Age For Teachers Will Hinder Employment – Oyo by edogu(m): 6:10am On Oct 11, 2025
In some countries especially developed ones, workers pray for early retirement. Infact, it's usually a serious issue when government attempts to extend their retirement age. In Nigeria, it's the opposite. People want to extend their retirement period because of several reasons: corruption especially for those in civil service, poor treatment of retirees and lastly not starting job at the right time.

Imagine someone that graduated late, started work when his mates must have clocked almost ten years in service, such person will forge his retirement age to work more especially when his kids are still tender.
