Comparing Teachers with House of Reps member is totally out of line, they are the leaders and law makers, I believe you know so, they have a higher opportunities ,than lecturers.

[b]An Ex-president was a Lecturer, yet when he got into the seat he still owed ASSU for 6 years nothing [/b]fulfilling was done, All you lecturers know how to do is rant and speak big grammars, when it's time to take actions, you will all quiver like a sick hen, if your son goes to the city and makes money and connections and he can't use it to help you and your family , tell me who will help you, he's the one that knows his family's struggles and as such will do anything to relief them off it.

To think that some of these lecturers feel and act like demi gods in the school premises gets me paranoid, little wonder if they dictate your destiny because even the ones you earn money than will tell you that you will amount to nothing in life.

House of Rep is different because you are Nigerian. You want quality out of nothing. How is it possible to achieve such? The decay in the system is because the government does not give priority to Education irrespective of whether it's a PhD holder that is the president or a Primary School Cert holder!

Strike has now become part of the curriculum in the Nigerian Public Schools. If you cannot take it, go to Covenant University and the likes.

We shall continue to fight for our right! When the government is ready, the strike will end.

Paulheyman:
If ASUU perish we all perish. I think most of the people in this forum assume a lot.

1) During the last ASUU strike in EBSU, the cause of the strike being that the state government reduced the salaries of lecturers by 20% followed by notional promotion (promotion without pay increase). It followed that the same government that complains that there's no money went ahead to reduce student school fees followed by reduction in monthly subvention to EBSU; the consequences of this is that the university became bankrupt. Then, after the first year of the reduction in school fees, there was a subsequent increase in fees by the same government to 30% against the previous 10% reduction. Recently the same state government that subdued ASUU and NASU built a world class university using TETFUND meant for EBSU development. In this their university you pay nearly a million naira to study industrial chemistry. The big question remains can any of us here afford "king David umahi university of medical sciences" the big answer is no; not you and certainly not your children. The university wasn't built for the poor and middle income earners in Nigeria. In fact children of lecturers can't even afford the institution

As I write this, EBSU which was formally the pride of state university in Nigeria is now a shadow of its past glory (politics have destroyed the school). We drove pass the institution on 26-4-2022, the students are protesting that not a single lecture has been taught and yet the university wants them to write exams. The lecturers have only been paid once this year since there are paid using the students school fees (the school fees isn't enough to pay staff salaries), some are not even motivated to teach at all.

2) During the tenure of Gov Elechi of Ebonyi state, the government merged/sold the state owned university teaching hospital with/to FETHA/Federal government, reason being that the state is too poor to have a state university teaching hospital so FETHA absorbed most of their staff but the consequences is staring its indigenes to the face now, just imagine a state without a teaching hospital. That means Ebonyi state government have not and will never employ medical and health workers. The state will be losing their health professionals to other states. FETHA staffs are over burdened while the indigenes can't get enough medical and health services. The big question remains how many of us can afford king David umahi university teaching hospital in Ebonyi state. You already know the answer.

The key function of government is to make life easy and affordable to it's citizens but here in Nigeria we support government blindly; to us politics over everything. Same people who benefit from ASUU, NMA, JOHESU etc misery come online to castigate them.

I don't pray that ASUU should give up but the day they do; we all should be rest assured that education will never be affordable again. Non of us can afford a private university. Government subsidizes health care and education. Imagine how expensive private hospitals are then try to picture how exorbitant private universities is then you can appreciate this battle of purpose.

The reason behind proliferation of private universities is to weaken government universities and if it's achieved then we all should prepare to 1) Lose accreditation because most PhDs will go for job openings at private universities 2) pay more fees and semester dues 3) have uneducated population 4) most of the awarded degrees in public universities will be rejected abroad due to lack of accreditation 5) Brain drain etc.

If I give testimonies of other universities in Nigeria I have had interaction with you'll be perplexed.

Note: Most private universities pay higher salaries than government owned universities. So, it's happening already.

My point: Mixing politics with Education is totally wrong

Disclaimer: This article was not meant to cajole or discredit the government but to bring into light the consequences of ASUU strike

My brother, don't waste your educating these boys. Most of them have a hatred for strike just because it affects them without them caring to know why the strikes.

erubati:
U guys sell handouts.its nonsensical to start proving what is evident to the eyes

We don't sell. No lecturer even sell handout in my school- a Federal University in Nigeria. As we speak, we are not even on strike. Our students are currently writing exams. So, get your information well before u write anything.

Iamnorth:
Please does anyone have an idea on how much it might cost me to run MSc criminology and security studies?

The programme is new as we are yet to have graduates from the programme. That being said, from the course outine I have so far, the programme is NOT a two-semester programme. In fact, the programme is for 3-4 semesters. As for the estimated cost, it will be in the range of 175 - 220k.

The government is corrupt, we all know that.

We all wanted a change, we all felt Buhari would handle security and Osinbajo the economy.

Now take a look, the NMA suffered something similar and the government sacked some of them, the worse is the Nigerian Army, There's so much corruption in there, but does that mean the soldiers would all go home because there are betrayals and setups in the Military, lol you know now, Wahala go dae, Everybody go fund their square root because there would be no one to protect you, but these soldiers remain and do their jobs because of Patriotism which Teachers lack.

If you understand the importance of security/education/medical services in a society you would see that these lecturers are doing the country no good by going on strikes.

I am not in support of the government but I think they should be fair in their dealings, they are just being selfish.

We cannot pretend everything is fine when it is not. The soldiers you talk about, is it affecting their level of disharging their duties or not? What is the point pretending everything is fine when it is not? What is the point going to work and not doing what u are supposed to do from your heart? If there is anyone SELLFISH here, it is the government who does not see how important education is. If you have a family and you earn 100k in this regime, you barely struggle to survive in this time especially if you live in the cities.

The workers are barely fighting for their right. I don't know what is selfish about fighting for your right!

When have you seen House of Rep orSenate protest none payment of their allowances in this country? In spite their huge allowances, they are not being owed in a hash economy. It is the people struggling to survive that they are allowances are being owed. Nothing more selfish than that.

Teachers and Lecturers feel they deserve more because they teach future leaders.

Entitlement Mentality is very bad.

Doctors treat people but it's the Pastors who receive gifts and appreciations, does that mean they won't treat people, it's your job and in your appointment letter you read everything clearly before signing it.

I am not supporting the government, but I am glad they are using fire for fire.

Who would think that Lecturers are receiving salaries while at home.

That's stealing if you ask me, that's wasting of tax payers money, but when you condemn it they are quick to call out politicians that they are corrupt too.

Bad Examples.

I appreciate your response but if you read my comment well, the bolded would not be mentioned. I have stated clearly that the government is not keeping to terms of employment (the agitation for improved working condition aside). Allowances are being owed commulatively for more than 5years. Another is the Minimum Wage Allowances. These are terms of employment that the government is not keeping.

Tell me what use is 1 unit course which the lecturers don't force students to buy handouts and textbooks to all three units courses lecturers have their textbooks that they force you to buy, the ratio is 5:1, one lecturer even sent us Pdf as textbook after collecting money from so many students, we won't attack her now until the perfect time arrives, that's what I affirmed my coursemates and we would hit her badly.

All Nigerian Politicians are not bad, that's the truth but majority wins the vote, who cares about a little fraction that does their job well, that's not a factor for argument.

I am not having this conversation anymore since your school isn't part of the ongoing strike.

Birds of same feathers flock together not birds of different feathers.

Yes, you are right but we cannot make laws based on those not doing the jobs at the expense of those doing the jobs rightly.

And have u asked yourself why that is rampant? Working condition in the country is terrible. With just a lecturing job and no extra legit business, most lecturers cannot even feed well and take care of their families under this condition. Not justifying their being corrupt but if we must remove corruption from the tertiary institutions, it cannot be effective if these things are not looked into.

The economy is pushing many to the wall and this breeds corruption. If you don't want to tempt your workers from being corrupt, do your part by paying them what they are due, pay their entitlements as at when due; pay their salaries in time; pay them their due allowances. How can you allow someone's allowances to accumulate for more than 5years and u don't expect some persons to give themselves reasons not to come to class as they are supposed to? Yes, even when all these things are in place, some persons will still be corrupt but... As it is right now, the government need to address these issues first before blaming the lecturers.


The EAA you hear, is not last year allowance o. Allowances being owed for years. Come on...
Yet, the government has mouth to talk! Ask Ngige if they are owing him any of his allowances. The ASUU strike remains a product of corruption and the government has more than 70 per cent of the blame.

Drop the name of the Federal University.

I am a student of a Federal University too, I won't insult you because you are my elder and I was trained well.

Lecturers live above their means and you would even wonder if they receive same pay as Chevron workers, imagine people agitating for a better salary when they don't come to class and not even impact knowledge on student.

I can't DM you, I don't want to be insulted more than I have received here.

You don't want to be confronted with the truth? Ask around, not all Federal Universities sell handouts/textbooks. Don't make that statement next time if u really want to say the truth. Our students are currently writing their exams as we speak. We are not on strike as well. Don't be shocked. Yes, it's a Federal University in Nigeria.

Next time u want to analyse issues, your use of language is important. Even the school u are, some lecturers many not sell handouts, some may not sell textbooks, some may not award grades without justification but u chose to speak as if everything is the same. Is it all students that pay lecturers to pass? Are all students in your school cultists?

Why can't we fight for those that are doing the right thing? Why can't those demanding for their rights justly be given attention? Why?


Government keep promising without fulfilling the agreements. We are not even talking about UTAS and others. What about agreements of the past? Have they honoured them?

Munamoqel:
what fake harzard allowance is applicable to you as a lecturer? Why can't you resign and join politics.

Not all University staff are lecturers... I see some of u don't know much of what's happening. Why should politics be the only high paying 'job' in Naija? It shows our priority as a country. We don't deserve good education the government doesn't see its importance.

Fuckyoumod:
oga, comparing a politician to ASUU is wrong.

If you like politics, resign and join simple....

ASUU is a permanent job till retirement.
Politics is just 4 years.

When we keep thinking like we have been doing, we will keep getting same results that we have been getting. This your thoughts and kind of thoughts is the reason why we can never move forward. Is this not the same way our leaders have thought over the years? Has that brought changes to the system?

Connected1:
Oga calm down.

Tell us you don't force students to buy handoits and textbooks or say you don't fail students you dont like.

Nigerian Lecturers are overrated, you are all useless.

You are 100 per cent wrong. I work in a Federal University but no lecturer sell handout or textbook or anything with such related names to students. Your generalisation shows how myopic you are. If u want to know more, send me a DM and I will explain 100 per cent.

Seun Osewa and not Lala. Lala is best in snake business only.

I pity only the students. Two elephants are fighting here and both have no regards for the grass.


Those saying that Lecturers are corrupt, have u tried to know how much those lecturers are being paid as compared to all those politifcians? When it comes to education, the government won't have money but when it is meeting their own corrupt needs, they can borrow money from China.
When IPPIS came, I lost my hazard allowance (30k) and I am entitled to it. We have been fighting for it since and nothing till now. Imagine having a short of 30k from your normal salaries in the midst of all these inflation! This among other reasons is why people are not satisfied with IPPIS. With the lies in government, u will do yourself good to believe that the government have been lying to everyone on the issue.

Alexia20:
Hello house, the age of my spouse on our marriage certificate (church wedding cert) was wrongly captured (my own fault) and I will need to upload the certificate for visa application for spouse dependent visa application for my spouse to join me in uk asap. Common sense dictates that the age on marriage certificate should tally with her passport DOB .

Hence, I have approached the church for correction and they have refused blatantly on the ground that the mistake is not coming from them. So what other options do I have for proper documentation in this visa application,kindly advice.

You made the mistake on the document since and u made no complain. How will the Church believe you are telling the truth about your 'mistake' if you are just complaining about it how many days after the certificate was given to you? From your post, the mistake never mattered to u except for the fact that it's becoming a problem to your plan of traveling abroad. You may have even made another mistake by telling them why you need it changed, raising more suspicion. What you wrote is hard to believe it was a mistake.

Your post is without the subscription costs. Adding a breakdown what the cost of both are won't be a bad idea

Igbofam:
Read the OP my friend. The word used there is TWITTING and not TWEETING.

You need to apologize to the person you said was wrong

TWITTING is a very correct grammatical expression as used by Tinubu.

One can TWIT via any means. In fact you and I are TWITTING via Nairaland right now.

It is not an exclusive Twitter thing

Questions for you:
1. How did he conclude BAT meant twitting and not tweeting since both words are homophones?
2. From the sentence, do you meant BAT mean people were 'taunting' on WhatsApp? Which word do u think fits more to the meaning in the context of the video?

Why I owe that OP no apology is because I didn't even insult him like he did to the previous.

Indispensable85:
OP your school fees na waste. The joke is actually on you. Most of you think twitting means writing on twitter. Hahahahahahahaha....you guys are truly lazy youths. You're too mentally lazy. Imagine! Lol....

Please go and find out the meaning of twitting in the dictionary and stop embarrassing your parents who laboured to pay your school fees.

For the benefit of doubt, here is the dictionary meaning of TWEETing! You need to apologise to that OP you were insulting there.

harisclub:
Hello all,
I want to know if the certificate collection is still ongoing. Prompt response will be appreciated

The time frame is given in the info you quoted. If you want your certificate now, u have to go to the Headquarters in Jabi Abuja.

It's always easier to resist the urge of getting involved in any ill than trying to break off the shackles when already addicted. I am in my 30s but have never placed any bet. Let us wait for others who have the experience to tell us how one can break loose from the chain of this kind of addiction as I can only advice u how never to be involved in betting.
