Please let me sound it as a note of warning and advice.Don't keep your hopes high yet. ASUU & FG are not to to be trusted. So if you've what you're engaged in during Strike. Please keep it. They are not trustworthy.

Krysstie: I just got mine 2day tooooo....lol..crazy people. Nigeria has become something else, taking advantage of desperate job hunters. Thank God I checked nairaland...

Definition of Oasis Oil and gas coy.
Desperate group of people using desperate means to extort money from fellow desperate job seekers. SIMPLE. Beware!

henryvirus: .he said 'if' not 'when' if is a probability when is a set date or time......The op is still right as u said.

He has made the correction after my comment. Good of you @ Op

Sermwell: does this answer the question? mumu! This is how students like you fail exam!

The poster is right in his opinion, why calling him 'mumu' . I think the correct name for this thread would have been " What will be your plans if and only if ASUU suspends the strike next week or
"What are your plans should ASUU suspends Strike next week

Well is good to be optimistic about the future, but for ASUU & FG, don't keep your hopes high for now, Why? Because both are not worth it.

Djbond: I Want to know how many years will a student studying 'Accounting' use in the higher institution.

Officially, without ASUU Strike, or Extra year for not passing some courses- 4 years.

Then unofficially, with ASUU Strike is 5 to 6 years, then ASUU Strike coupled with extra years is undefined.

Ohibenemma: You haven't addressed the bane of my post. What you've mainly done there is speculate. Don't get me wrong...those things - serenity, comfort, and equipping are very important, but will those change the attitude of our lecturers? I doubt.
I finished from Adekunle Ajasin University, which anyone who's been there will call appreciably serene and beautiful. You may also find out from students of OAU how things are over there. The way tribalism held sway in AAU(until I left) was simply alarming. Being non-Ondo and non-yoruba made me a victim several times. Aside that, there you have many lecturers speaking heavilly accented bad English. Will that change with the massive pay rise they're demanding? Those are my questions. While the government has a lot to do, I think there should be some sort of compromise between both parties. And this won't be possible with the current stiff-necked approach by ASUU. We want the universities upgraded, we wanna see laboratories, language studios, serenity, and comfort in our schools, but all of these won't be of much help with the current corrupt, nepotistic* and lazy attitude of our lecturers. Corruption is another problem and sometimes plain inefficiency(there has been cases of equipments being procured, yet unused because our lecturers can't handle them). Let's talk about these too. God bless Nigeria.

Well, you're on point

festusfeezy: ASUU strikes from1999 till date:
1999 -5 months
2001 -3 months
2003 - 6 months (extended to early 2004)
2005 - 3 days
2006 - 1 week
2007 - 3 months
2008 - 1 week
2009 - 4 months
2011 - 3 months extend into 2012
2013 - over 4months and still counting,,,,,
From the above analysis, it's clear there was
never a time FG met 100% of ASUU demands
before they called off the strike. If this is the
case, why has ASUU refused to shift ground even
when FG has met more than 75% of their
demands? From available information, FG has
met all ASUU demands. The only contentious
issue is the ambiguous N92b earned allowance
claim which FG has released N60b to
universities management to pay upon
verification. Is the release of N60b not enough
for a sane organisation to shift ground and allow
Nigerian students enjoy the education they paid
for while negotiation with FG continues?
ASUU has however, continuously refused to tell
Nigerians the contentious issues. The ones FG
has met and the areas it's yet to meet. The
present ASUU represents nothing but deceit and
has lost public sympathy. It's obvious ASUU
strike has become annual event where lecturers
abandon their jobs in public universities for
part-time jobs in private universities. The best
thing for FG is to disaband ASUU so that it won't
have a national body again because it has
become a political tool in the hand of APC to
destabilise GEJ's govt.

They have turn vitually everything into Politics in Nigeria. Op seems you're of the Umbrella Organization.

All these go be mistaken for Champagnes. If the bottle design for ordinary water come dey like this, how the bottle design for the actual champagnes, wines, vodka and other spirits go be? Omo I go keep the empty bottle as sourvenirs be that o...

Ohibenemma: [color=#006600][/color]ASUU is being inconsiderate in the course of pursuing their lofty aims. Also, they are being insincere in addressing the problems facing the universities. Will their demands on the government change the terrible sadistic* attitude of our lecturers? Will that clip the wing of their randy tendencies? Will it force them to read more and thereby be more equipped to deliver knowledge? Will it stop the highly tribalistic attributes most of them share? The answer to these IS NO! We need more than beautiful serene environments to impart knowledge, we need more than air conditioned offices to pass the right information and religiously follow course outlines. We need more than equipped laboratories to make students serious, and that's the simple truth!
In our universities, we are forced to wait for hours before lecturers arrive for classes. Sometimes, such classes eventually fail to hold. We find little incentive for conscientiousness when most lecturers award the best grades to the highest bidders. We see students making great grades just on account of their tribal affiliation with the lecturers and we blame the government
Aside the sciences where proper lab equipments are needed to make them worth the salt, why are our social science and art graduates half baked too? Why can't an English graduate speak good english, or even write a letter? Why can't an accounting graduate differentiate between credit and debit sheets? Because the school environment ain't beautiful? Or because the lecture theatres ain't tiled and air conditioned? We need attitudinal changes-lecturers, students and the GOVERNMENT. They are not free from the malaise, and do have their part to play, but ASUU, be sincere for once...and stop pretending to be doing ALL of THIS for the SAKES of Nigerian students.ASUU is being inconsiderate in the course of pursuing their lofty aims.

You may be right, but at least let's have that good air-conditioned lecture theatres, good and well equipped state-of - the art laboratories, 25 students to a Prof.(lecturer), good, neat serene and aesthetic learning environment, consistent and uninterrupted power supply & internet facilities, uninterrupted academic calendar,2 students to a room with fully equipped hostels, just like is obtainable in top-ranked universities in the world. With all these being put in place by Govt., it will surely address other shortcomings or defect if not completely but to the bearest minimum. The issue of attitudinal change & other defects will fall in place, but worthy to note that even after all these, it will not prevent the few bad eggs to fall to their old ways, but it will be under control, even in the so-called top-ranked unis have their cons, not to talk of Nigerian universities that are still in the bud. We need total overhaul of the whole educational system, dear. Know that Environment and welfare psychologically motivates learning directly or indirectly. No wonder they say cleaniness is next to Godiliness, then I add serene and good environment is next to learning. Let's breathe that fresh air in our institution, even if it's only once. I rest my case!

Fphotographer: hmmm as for any1 who is nt an undergraduate nd u r cmentin nd blamin ASUU den i dnt blame u,u r cmentin out of ignoranc. ASUU is doi d rit tin 2 salvage d situation in nigerian universities which is a terebl situatn. hw may universities do we hav in d country nd hw many hav managabl facilities let alon cmfortabl learnin atmospher. let d gov bring d mony requied nd we wil gt bak 2 skul, has any1 watched d masiv amount spent on patienc modas burial? has any reasnabl tin b gotn out of d armod car saga nd many more. bt alas we al blame ASUU. sorry 4 dis coutry o

Seconded, that's just the Nigerian thing Everybody want to graduate out of our deplorable Public institutions, be it half-baked, full-baked, roasted or not baked at all, as long as it has something to do with baking. We all want to be churned out of the Mill, no matter the state of the flour, to join the wagon of already churned out flour in the labour market.Nobody care about quality again, but rather quantity. And yet we keep complaining that we are not being priced by employers(marketers)The FG knows about this Nigerian mentality '' At all at all, na em bad pass, let just manage the system like that, at least the one we see. The same FG will say that Nigerian graduates are unemployable. Ok, we will keep on managing until we'll have nothing to manage again. Let's think, and avoid being blinded by the fact. It's time we persist, just 4 months and Nigerian are already shaking and seeing ASUU as the Devil. Why won't FG win, since she knows our soft spot.

tunex23: Which kind Rubbish be this now....they better not call off by nex week o Cos my hustle dey fetch me enuf doe ryt now and I plan 2 enter A.B.U Wit my power bike nex year!

vickynne: i pray dt dey will nt call it off,if dey should call it off nw ar we going to learn wit one month nd write exam,mostly d final year student ar dey going to write der final exam nd at d same tym defend ur project nd seminar witin a month.yeye ppl na nw to call off kon dey ring for una mind.

I support you my sister, for me make dem leave am till January next year, abeg make I round off my business for the year, yuletide season they approach. So much money on my mind now. Man need to hold something abeg

Giyerte: Urgent pls. I mistakinli wrote my center number instead of my center when filling the eligibity form for my waec. Hope no wahala

That is trivial, is not a problem, it would have been a problem if you have written your centre no wrongly different from the one in your statement of result or cert. This is just a case wrong sorting. They can sort it out.

Well, three years in medical school may work properly in developed world, where those three years will be judiciously used to drill you in medical ethics and practice to become a better medical practitioner. But for third world country like Nigeria, despite the almost 7 years( service included), we spent in Medical School, the crop of medical practitioners we have now is nothing to write home about. Not trying to be sarcastic about my country or the profession here in Naija, there're still the very bests in Naija.But for a 3 -year medical school, while other courses that doesn't pertain to life exceed 3 years of training. It can't just work in Nigeria.

Good to know, we're waiting. Abeg where I keep my protective eye shield for the past eclipse Hope e go be partial eclipse before the kind pitch darkeness dat happened in Egypt, in the bibilical timez go happen, that even with your lantern, torchlite, rechargable lantern you no go fit see the next person. And dat time everybody will shout END TIME TINZ.

ukorsimplicity: 2014 Jambites think about this....2013 jambites were not given
admission because of low jamb score, those that were given
admission, have not resumed,and some are still waiting for 2nd
and 3rd list if they can find their names there, and now Jamb are
already selling more form for 2014 ' they will sell 2,000,000
forms and tell you they are only looking for 500,000 students for
admission! Now tell me WHICH OTHER MALPRACTICE IS WORSE
THAN THIS? it not all about the money it's the years you are
waisting ! ! ! He that has EAR let him hear..........

And what then is the SOLUTION, Sir?

Maybe Una go use Cain, flog their yansh and force them to go and teach....still part of the confrontation though.....

This is not helping matters....So this strike na till end of time.......sure say dis strike no go reach 2017 as predicted by T B Joshua because his prediction dey work o and the way I dey see am FG is not ready to yeild to ASUU's demand and for ASUU, pride no go let them suspend dis strike after all these months instead make dem die of hunger

E bi like say I go port go Ghana go start business for five years if possible marry, then whenever them call off, I come and finish where i stopped at

onyinye03: Wake up!!! These people don't care bout students, have they recognised us @ all during this strike? Do they fight4 us wen we need them? Its all about their allowances, I was on their side till I read their requests which are unrealistic and almost evil. We students are at home cuz they want 2 travel abroad with the Govt payin 4 all their expences, its very unfair and inconsiderate. May God 4give Both Fg nd ASUU

Believe me, if they call it up without government heeding to their demands:

1. The school fees of federal institutions will increase by 300%. And this alone will generate chains of protest by students and their unions, even after this long strike action and this maybe even worse, because some bad students will hijack the opportunity to cause more mayhem to school facilities more than what ASUU Strike has done already.

okeke2: Why hasnt someone sensible in this damned country killed Nasir Fagge yet?

Why should you say such, this man is fighting the course of our decayed educational system, believe it or not, and change our university system for good, Universities keep on churning out half-baked graduate and you're already in that league. Instead of you to appreciate that fact. We are always blinded by the fact in that nobody is happy with strike. Know that Government has every mechanaries on ground to give the public the wrong impression about ASUU. If It means that ASUU should persist to get what they want, I am in support of that, instead of suspending it on air and just to go back following government deciept. Govt have decieved them for long, enough is enough. You that want to rush out from our half-oven universities as half-baked and join the train of already thousands half-baked graduates in the labour market. ASUU, am in full support. SOLIDARITY FOREVER!

[quote author=mr.ceo63]We r al hear insultin ASUU & FG bt let me ask hw many of us hv prayed abt it 2 GOD?!!!
Or u tink nfin consin GOD[/quote]Nigeria is the only country where the same people casting and binding the devils tormenting our progress as a nation are even the Devils themselves pulling us back. They will even pray more than you on Sunday services only to go back and continue with their evil ways. No wonder we're termed the most prayerful nation,yet things are not changing. If you combine only my pastor's prayer with all the prayers across different denominations, you'll find out it is more than enough to change the course of this nation.And when you criticize, you're already being taken as an ANTI-CHRIST. We keep on treating the symptoms and not the ailment itself, so how do you expect the ailment to go. Nigeria is too religious to my liking, everybody forming sanctimonious. I tire for this country

mi xpressive: I'm not against his views... I just think he's telling it to the wrong audience..... I bet you everyone has a say on what they think will bring the strike to an end....

You're absolutely right, even I have a proposal to an end to ASUU Strike too. Only that it's too long and FG may not exercise patience to finish it to end. So I just kept it under my pillow sha.

hay y: 4.8 In my first or second semester or both?

Not to discourage you, but you have to make it in both or average of both semester to get that. It will be quite very difficult, though not impossible. That means you have to make nothing less than A in all your final year courses. But if you're focused, determined, and God's help, you can make it

hay y: Good morning fam, I have an issue with my grades, my Cgpa dropped in 300L,ever since I have been trying to make it up but it refused to move,I'm in my finals with a cgpa of 3.16 and I'm so scared of graduating with a 2.2,what are my chances of making it to at least a 3.5.

But come to think of it, a 2.2 isn't that bad afterall, but would have be much better if the 2.2 will reach at least within the range of 3.39 to 3.42, I.e something very close to a 2.1. So you can do Masters direct,if you want to further though. Well the job market is quite competitive, but I know some people are better off with 2.2 anyway. So don't be discouraged, but just strive to get closer to a 2.1(I.e a higher 2.2). If you can't get to the moon, at least you can rest on the stars closer to the moon instead of falling back on earth- just an adage and a food for thought.

So how does this concern me?

BREAKING NEWS! Association of Nigerian Housewives(ASNH) wants to go for a hunger strike if FG & their husbands refuse to give them SOCIAL SECURITY & SOCIAL WELFARE. And news reaching us says that Association of Bachelors & Spinsters are planning for a 3 days warning strike, should FG not provide them with jobs. Nigerians, nawa! If every one come be Striker, then who go be the defender, the foward, the centre man or even the goalkeeper.

Well, it's well

ayodeji752: autonomy and stil demanding billions frm d government? Do u really know d meanin of autonomy?

Well they may be demanding trillion from FG for all I care. But FG has no legal backing to sack any VC. If it had been that of the state Uni and state government that's within the legal jurisdiction. But FG has since hands-off from appointment of VC of fed. Unis

ayodeji752: U are very right bro. D fact still remains dat d federal govt is not ready to use logistical force to end d strike. I can boldly tell u dat majority of d lecturers especially d profs among dem are lamenting in university of ibadan.d adamant ones among dem are d young lecturers which are only interested in making quick money to build mansions overnight. Federal government can end d strike immediately by using d style d then unilorin VC prof shamsodeen used in ilorin. Fg should direct all d VCs to call all d lecturers back to their respective institutions or face d consequences of being sacked. I am sure most senior lecturers will be happi to return to classrooms cos d lecturers are only happy wen they lecture. D rest of d lecturers dat dont come to class if there is any should be sacked. Dats d style d then unilorin VC used dat marked d end of ASUU strike in unilorin up till date. Unfortunately, d FG is so weak to use dis style. Instead,they prefer students staying at home for d next 5yrs

Guy stop dreaming. Wake up to reality.....it may work for Uniilorin, but that will never work for FG. They weren't appointed by FG in the first place, since the University gained their autonomy, so how can FG sack them?

mi xpressive: Oya gaan submit d report to FG and ASUU officials

Laff wan kill me die.... NLs una no go kill person.......mi xpressive....don't you think Op is suggesting from his own perspective...he is neither one of the ASUU comittee or NEEDS Assessment committee you know

Even in the face of everything, they always say Nigerian graduates are unemployable. Our Certificates from different Institutions in Nigeria has already lost it's value long ago in the eyes of international communities and this impending strike will have more serious adverse effect on Nigerian qualifications by dragging our already battered Certificates and qualifications down the drain, of which the credibility will take long to salvage, should this strike extends any further. Each day this strike extends, the value of our Certificates from our Public institutions are lost by the day. Because the international communities are watching and observing.

Nigerian Universities' Certificates RIP!

[b][/b]

Elvishard: My Idea on how to end this boring strike. ASUU need to look for other means to sanction FG.
THIS IS IT
1. lecturer form an Association behind our back called ASUU?
2. The SUG president of each university in 9ja will com 2geda and form a student association.
3. And with all skuls united, they will make an announcement dat all students should get back to skul. So as to show our degree of seriousness.
4. And if all students comply and get back to skul, ofcourse they will not see any lecturer to teach dem.So d heads of the students association will meet with FG, and tell dem dat students are in skul but there are no lecturers to lecture dem.
4. Now wat they will bargain with FG is dat if dose ASUU lecturers refuse to come back within a week, they should employ new batch of lecturers.
5. We have alot of graduates in dis country dat are ready to lecture, and in no time all lecturers is dis country will b replace.
Even some lecturers dat r not ready to loose their job will hop back in no time.
And b4 ur very eyes d ASUU association will loose shape.
The fear of loosing their job will cause a nuclear fission in the ASUU.
I guess I may b CAPITALLY WRONG. just tick (√) if u support my Idea or (X) if u dont.

(X)-You've just said it
