Dear NLs, in the face of these incessant strike actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), what do you think is the way out?

What do you think can be the long lasting solution?

Your submissions will be appreciated.

There's actually only one Kingdom.. the Kingdom of God which is ruled over by Jesus Christ. There are however 2 gates into the Kingdom of God (Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 ) :
■ the Broad gate that many will find and enter with leads to Eternal destruction
■ the narrow Gate which only a few will find that leads to True Life

2. Seeking the Kingdom of God has nothing to do with fashion sense. Jesus Christ instead taught that you need not worry about what you will wear, declaring that God was more than able to provide you even with garments far better than Solomon, in all his glory was clothed with - Matthew 6 vs 25 -34 .

Jesus Christ never taught that it mattered the kind of fashion sense you had. That lie was fed you from the mouths of men to decieve your focus away from that which truly mattered to God. These same men told you lies suggesting to you that it mattered what the apostles wore, when even Jesus Christ Himself taught instead that those who are His friends are those who do as He commands - not those who do as His apostles did - John 15 vs 14

3. According to Paul, old things are passed away behold old things are made new. However, that doesn't say anything about a change in wardrobe Sense, does it now? In fact, if we follow what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6, it may mean I go from eating poor food to having a more delicate palate thanks to God.

I perceive you're also telling me what was fed to you. I rather submit I wasn't fed what I said but what I have seen myself from the light in the word of God. This supposed not to be an argument.

I'll end with saying, to many that are led by the spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

If you believe you can do what you like without being led, then it's fine. The Holy spirit is concerned about your spirit soul and body and you can't just do what you wish with it because you were bought with a price and you no longer own yourself.

And about the kingdom, there's a kingdom of darkness from which we are translated into the kingdom of light.... Just to say that you should do away with that statement of two ways leading into the kingdom of God.

Take care brother..God bless

Toks2008:
I saw this tract yesterday and i can't imagine the level of heresy.

We all know that appearing decent is good but the level of condemnation as seen in this tract is mind blowing and does not reflect the teachings in the Scriptures.

Nearly all the Scriptures quoted have no bearing with the images... These are the false preachers the Bible warned us about... They make salvation look like bondage hence make it extremely difficult for many to be saved... Believe it or not, some people will see this and actually believe they can't make heaven and will either give up their salvation or not even bother to accept salvation.

Can't believe that someone will take time out to spend money just to spread this heresy. Is this what salvation is all about?

Collosians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”

Mathew 7:1 Amp
“Do not judge, criticize and condemn others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge, so that you will not be judged unfairly.

Acts 13:39

"And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free."

This scriptural verse simply makes it clear that we as believers are no longer under the several laws of moses as listed as sinful acts in the attached.

And finally let us go to 1 Peter 3 which makes it clear that looking beautiful outwardly in our own way is not a sin but advises that we do not just focus on looking good outwardly but also have a Godly nature... It may interest us to know that even GOD almighty loves gold, diamonds and other lovely jewels which is why he meticulously adorn paradise with gold and precious jewels.

1 Peter 3: 3 -5
"Your adornment must not be merely external--with interweaving and elaborate knotting of the hair, and wearing gold jewellery, or being superficially preoccupied with dressing in expensive clothes; 4but let it be the inner beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves'',

If GOD sends people to hell because of body arts(Tattoo), wearing jewelries, braiding of hair, wearing dreads, earrings and so on as listed on the attached image then that will definitely trivalize the sacrifice JESUS made on the cross...

If you feel that dressing in a certain way or appearing in a particular way is not ok by you then please dress in a way that you love but don't ever judge or condemn anyone based on your own standard or belief.

MAY GOD HELP US ALL.

Some things aren't wrong but probably misrepresented because it lacks life in it. God is not sending people to hell for the sins but for rejecting Christ.

I don't know anyone who has truly accepted Christ and is unchanged. It's not possible to meet with the light and remain in darkness.

I see that many of these men do not have what to preach hence these overly unnecessary diversion to self righteousness.

If you do all of these dress the way they see you as SU yet the heart is not with Christ, you'll still go to hell. But you can't be on your way to heaven and still be anyhow like every other person.

Being morally upright will not take you to heaven but if you're on your way to heaven, you'll be morally upright.

Selah

Kobojunkie:
So you know what it is your Salvation is from for you to insist that one who has Salvation cannot wear these things?

Where did Jesus Christ, the one who Heaven belongs to, tell you that when you enter into His Kingdom through the Narrow gate, that your dressing will change?

Where do you have the King of Heaven Himself insisting that only those who adopt a holier-than-thou fashion sense will enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

There are two kingdoms. There are two people. We have light. We have darkness. You only live based on the principles of the kingdom you belong to.

Jesus did not say anything fashion, but he did talk about seeking the kingdom of God.

Even your dressing tells people the kingdom you belong to. Let your light so shine before everyone - they will see your works and glorify God.

The apostles lived, dressed, talked in a way different from how the world does - they could call them christians.

Of a truth, if you have Christ, it changes you inside out. 2Cor. 5:14-17 said Jesus died for all and because he died we cannot live for ourselves again and we have become new creation - old way of life has passed away - everything is new.

God bless you

Can use see the attendance of Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT being used to serve hot dog?

you've not seen certificates being used as textbook cover?

Totilopussylick:
how all this aboki suya sellers d take lay there hands on this important papers still baffles me.

This is not an important paper though. It's not an exam paper

There's basically no stir here. It's just lack of what to say. Many more papers are being sold since it is not needed. Of what importance will the attendance be after it has been used? The lecturer should be piling the names?

Romanoff:
That's how many will have missing script without any attendance go verify they sat for the exams.

The Nigerian System will mess up your life.

it's not for exam

ATEAMS:
Why the Pandora Papers must not be taken seriously

1. George Sorros is behind the leaks. If you don't know who George Sorros is then a simple google search will give you a picture perfect description of this international lobbyist and patron of the criminal Clinton family syndicate.

2. No single American is listed even though Americans account for the highest offshore depositors.

3. The files where compiled to slander world leaders and politicians not in good terms with Washington and the liberal democrats.

4. The files are not open source like wikileaks but have been circulated to major media outlets controlled by the world elites. This alon shows a sinister plot in the making where only prominent leaders and politicians who oppose liberal politics are exposed.

5. The whole file scandal is handled by corporate bodies and has in no way the similar hallmark of wikileaks. If corporate news media only reports what they want you to hear, how in God's name do you think they will remain objective and un-bias?

They are the same news media all of us believe when they say something contrary to the truth about this government. Or is it because it is what we want to hear? That means with your last point, an average Nigerian is bias

Ponzi scam.

We all know how hard the country is @the moment,as we're all feeling the heat.

I have basically ran out of some major foodstuffs like yam, bag of potatoes,paints of rice and garri.for some couple of days now I have been racking my brain on how to purchase those items without disturbing my husband because recently he has bn complaining of low patronage.even my soaps and body scrub don finish for days now.

Me,I am somehow broke and sales lately hasn't bn interesting.i run a street roadside hustle and I don't go to hustle on Sundays which is my rest days.

But as level come be nau...kids must chow anyhow e be.so I decided since last night to come to hustle today being Sunday,since I have what to sale so I could see money to purchase those items I mentioned earlier on.

The raw truth I don't know how to borrow money from somebody,infact no one would even agree to lend money to you.so I decided to use what I have to get what I need.

Immediately I appeared in my hustleville arena this morning,one righteous woman like that dressed in a very lovely gown and peacock hat was to the first to hunt me down.

Mind you this woman has been hunting me for months,she was the reason why I stopped selling on Sundays because her preaching wahala was too much.

Mummy zee why nau?why nau?I thought you ve stopped?,why did you come out today.
Whilst she was busy asking me these questions,I bent down to lit my firewoods money must be made jare.

When she finished rapping,she looked at me,I looked at her,I carried my pan and placed it on the fire.in my mind I was like...hanty pls board your Keke and go,but for where.


I walked up to her and said.....pls ma'am cud you please lend me 30k?I need it to sort some things at home.madam said she doesn't have.


I left her there,went back to stir my beans paste in my mortal,madam borrowed herself sense then entered Keke and moooovv.

I settled down and sold maaad market,my money to buy those foodstuffs I mentioned is complete.i even bought succulent ripe plantains join to prepare correct plaintain and egg sauce for my family!
Bag of potatoes is sure,paints of rice is sure, tubers of yam toh sure,paints of garri nko,it's the Lord's doing.

I can confidently get my soaps and body scrub now.

Now my question is.....just because today that I didn't go to church would God be so angry to throw me into hell fire knowing fully well that my family needs these basic items?

Why do some too churchy righteous Christians likes hunting people that doesn't go to church and if you meet them to help you with money instead they will quote excerpts from the Bible to you.

Na market I sell....no be thief I thief!

Food is ready.
Indomie
3 eggs
Carrots
Green peas
Plantain.
Yum yum

Look at the Muslims, they can't say the same thing you've come hear to say. Whatever it is, they leave it to pray.

It says a lot about our commitment to the God we claim to serve.

Our hearts really matter.

You've done quite well.

I'll like to say a few things before I comment on the major thing.

1. People don't go to hell fire because of what you think. It's because they have refused to accept Jesus Christ. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour, then he will direct your steps into what or what not to do.

2. God is not a barbaric God that throws people into hell like some goddess or stuffs. It doesn't work that way. I think it's important we all have encounter of the person of God so we don't remain shallow.

3. There's something knowing God does for us. It's not about going to church primarily. It just makes us want to please God. And this is not a religious running about - it is a life. So if it hasn't happened to you, even though you go to church - and you don't know God - it's just jamboree.

Now to the topic itself,

The lady preaching to you didn't come to ask you to leave where you're going to eat. She's only inviting you to church. She's inviting you to ensure you receive from God.

Now this is important - it's not about church but about your heart.

Now I need to ask,

Why do you think you sold better today and then felt the sister was about to do you a bar thing? Did you know read that your God is the God of the times and seasons.

I see few things,

1. Lack of trust in the God you claim to know.
2. Lack of understanding of the God you claim to serve
3. Shallow knowledge in the things of God
4. Christianity to you isn't about God but about the things you can get from God

Now this is the summary,

Whether you get to sell better or not, you have only decided to show your love for what you want. If you trust God, whether now or later, you'll seek him - not just in church but everywhere.

Just imagine, your friends have a party to attend, or your parent called for a meeting that's emergency or there's a match or a movie... You would probably have missed the sales too and truthfully, you're not always at seat for sales so you have missed several hot moment for sales.

God is the one that owns times and chances. Trust him and when to eat or not, when to move or not becomes easy and it won't cost you anything to leave your trade for him.

Look at the Muslims, they can't say the same thing you've come hear to say. Whatever it is, they leave it to pray.

Ok I have seen an information


- download letter, take to your ppa, ask them to reject you
- collect acceptance letter from new ppa (probably same copy of letter but ticked accepted and signed)
- upload both letter. Pick new ppa from drop down list.
Submit

I have signed my PPA letter at the school I was assigned to. I am trying to upload but it's not going.

Am I to wait for physical verification or what am I to do?

What exactly is the request of these terrorists? What are they asking for?

Dear Batch C applicants, I have been having issues downloading the PPA letter and my sister told me it told her to update her details.

Now I updated the details which was like from the beginning and when I attempted downloading, it brought the error of too many requests, kept clicking download and eventually downloaded.

You can try that too.

If your details are well updated, continue to click on download.

Thank you and good luck.

How do you people download PPA letter

I haven't seen any news on the front page lately about the deployment of beneficiaries by npower. I don't know why but I think it should be shared.

Npower has deployed beneficiaries and I know a few of them personally.

it's sick how these people cite matters that have been resolved as issues for their actions

Heard unilag votes for suspension. Who can confirm this

When your lecturers can shut schools in solidarity to another group under the disguise of revamping which is obvious though, no doubts. What hope do you have?

If schools are built with the nicest of structures, having all so called required equipment, will your lecturers

- stop victimising female students?
- stop teaching you with 10 year old slides?
- stop setting exam questions from another school abroad?
- stop selling textbooks to you as handouts?
- stop reading calculation slides?
- stop missing classes?

It's a two way thing. Many Nigerian lecturers show the traits of being in the sector because of no jobs. If lecturers are those who sought for jobs and didn't find, what is left is to be in school without being taught yet locked out of school so you can be taught.

An average Nigerian student is the lecturer of himself in many courses.

Sad story.

ASUU Strike: Lingering strike May Plunder Nigeria

Dear Government,

I must sincerely appreciate your efforts towards solving some long term problems in Nigeria. Most people know, if not everyone, that mischievous people who tend to paint the government bad exist.

Seeing beyond the press, we can be sure of decisive actions taken by this administration to position Nigeria in a more robust way. While all of these are quite visible, some other issues may suggest otherwise.

In a country where her education instituions do not get properly funded, yet could get shut down for weeks per year without a lasting solution since the issue started will not suggest otherwise, that the government does not care about the plight of Nigerian students.

In Nigeria, students would get locked out of school because of ASUU strike, get locked out because of internal issues, get locked out because of students' demonstrations against management and lecturers and the government still does not look for means to allay the fears in the minds of many Nigerians.

Like we may have rightly seen in the media, the ruling class are widely blamed for the woes bedevilling the educational system. This is suggested that, they are not part of the masses that flock around Nigerian schools.

Are there no solution to this unending crisis rocking the sector? Should students continue to suffer for the mistakes of both Federal Government and ASUU? If we refuse to take actions immediately, there may be another erupting chaotic destruction that may plunder the nation and throw us in a thick darkness.

The Government should show the positive signs of goodwill, respect the laws available and if need be, change the laws before exercising against the laws. Universities acts suggest autonomy which has usually been the case. All of a sudden, bringing up politically motivated decisions to interject the running of institutions will not only throw the sector into a state of collapse but will we well dash the hope of the beneficiaries of the failed system.

If IPPIS is an issue, the government should admit errors and correct them. All of these are achievable without prolonging matters.

The inability of the government to find a lasting solution will throw the nation into another state of uncertainty, that no security agency and not even a presidential speech can solve.

Could this be said any better??

Knowing that we have a useless government with no value for education, will it be alright for ASUU to suspend its strike?

Majority of students don't know why ASUU strike is on. The students, which I call the major stakeholders are not informed of what is going on.

ASUU has been a regular "striker" since 1980s and have suffered bans and proscriptions about twice in the military regime. It is clear that, the struggle has been on for a while.

Many students will ask, "is strike the only way?" while ASUU will respond, "that is usually the last resort".

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is a union of teachers in Universities and one would wonder, why Vice Chancellors are not usually part of their struggle but that's not the focus this time.

Why this 2020 Strike action?
When the strike actions began in March 2020, Covid-19 lockdown accompanied it and students were eventually asked to stay home. This continued for months until the lockdown restriction was removed and schools were asked to resume October 12th, 2020.

One would have expected that the dispute between ASUU and the FG would have been settled, but that is not the case at all.

This 2020 strike action started as a means to press further the memorandum of understanding signed in 2009/2019 which contains several other clauses including renegotiation of 2009 agreement, constitution of visiting panels to universities, revitalisation funds amongst others. However, the struggle for a payment platform was conjoined with the initial struggles.

FG rolled out Integrated Personnel Payment and Information System - IPPIS as a payment platform for all workers which ASUU objected. ASUU was asked to develop a working platform for universities, and they came up with UTAS - University Transparency and Account System.

Why is ASUU against IPPIS?

ASUU claims that IPPIS does not capture the situations at the universities and so, not in line with the university act. ASUU claimed the system was developed by the world bank and it of course has a lot of discrepancies. According to ASUU, a lecturer cannot be allowed to teach in more than one universities which is not healthy for the educational system.

What are students saying?

Many students are of the opinion that ASUU frequent strike actions are a delay factor and have turned many students to dropouts, have caused many to grow apathy towards learning and even dashed the hope of many parents.

Even if the fight is legitimate, ASUU should, if indeed, they care about the students like they claim, find a better way as intellectuals, to press home their demands.

It is worrisome how that the university system witnesses strike actions more than other sector. Yet, the lecturers will be paid, but the students cannot regain those lost times. This doesn't concern the lecturers as they are after what they will get.

If since 1982, the struggle has begun, does it make sense to say, only an unending fight is fought with the same strategy. How would you explain how a student will be in the same class for three years, all thanks to the frequent strikes.

Should ASUU find a common ground for the sake of the students whose futures are looking bleak already? A student gained admission at 23 because of several disappointments from UTME and post UTME, you yet ASUU strikes will turn a four year course to seven years, only for him to graduate at age 30 and become unfit for major jobs (that aren't even available).

Time, and value, which is more important? If we want valuable education, we should join ASUU in this fight for a better education system but what happens to the time of students who are at the receiving end of all these?

The youths of those days are the ones we are fighting against now.

Wouldn't that be the case with us too?

That's my fear!

A kind of people that excuse violence and crime because of the wickedness of some people shouldn't be trusted to do what's good in the line of governance.

When you bring emotions into leadership, you make rash decisions that will wreck your government.

You hailed that the palliatives were looted. You're one of the problem of Nigeria.

The government is bad, and so are you.

_

I personally feel bad seeing that the momentum is dying across. Going to Twitter, I could only resent the fact that we allowed these protests to continue until many lives were lost and properties were looted.

I remember Segun Awosanya, popularly known as segalink warned so many people of continuing the protests. Even those who called for an end were abused and ignored. It got to this point and now, the lost lives live on while dead?

We were fighting a government knowing fully well that it wouldn't make sense overnight. Or did we think, the government would start having sense all of a sudden?

I am sincerely sad that many lives were lost. Many people were made homeless and sad forever, because we continued.

Should that have been a problem if we have a reasonable government? Is there a tangible excuse to kill your citizens because they are demanding for what it is rightly theirs? Oh, we do not have a reasonable Government!

Is this the end? Just like that? The protests will end, while crime is high across? The touts aren't easy to rein in. What of Justice?

I am not a coward to think strategy works when the battle is hot. It's safe to stop when it's necessary.

What do you think?

Sincerely, crime can't wipe out crimes. Imagine a society without law enforcers. While we have the unprofessional SARS members, should we because of that ask that crimes go on?

SARS has done bad. Yes, but if there are armed robbers on your neighborhood, you call the protesters? We end up saying, we don't have Police when we are asking for their end. We can reform SARS, not end SARS. Let's give it a thorough thought.

Davash222:
Oga IGP, What have you done to end the violence and barbaric murder of innocent civilians by your nonsense Law enforcement officers?
