deletrue: If you want to know how many professors, doctors etc that are available, awaiting for any slightest employment opportunity, ask those who attended Dangoti group of companies during the drivers interview.

A sound PhD holder can not be jobless with all our universities lacking in manpower. Those who went to Dangote knows what they are looking for. You only need to fly out of this country for once and see how things are been organized, including the educational system.

Its a shame that people like you will go and collect rice and 1K to vote next year. We can't continue in a system full of looting. FIRS tax on Non oil revenue is about 2trillion, Customs returns is about 1trillion, not to talk about Oil which that they say is the main source of revenue. 2014 budget is estimated at 4.7 trillion. Will you say that Nigeria only raise 1.7trillion from oil per annum if you include revenue from customs and FIRS. Our leaders are not sincere and they will remain like that unless we start making them accountable.

How long will it take to construct Lokoja-Abuja road? Since OBJ Regime. They pump billions to those roads yearly and we don't see it. Thank God the one they always loot by deceiving us with PHCN is about over. What sane country will have fuel and don't have a functional refinery.

If this ASUU strike will lead to a revolution please bring it on. In 1year fixed charge with PHCN has moved from 250 naira to 750naira. Whether you have light or not you must pay. 4K was loaded in my house since August ending I still have 22units left, yet I spend about 8k montly on generator for few hours per day. Don't even mention water. Every home now has a borehole or a well. You are either drinking pure water or seaway.
Our hospitals are also bad.

This all buoys down to why our leaders have their children in foreign schools and go outside for medical care. The hands here are capable of offering such services but corruption will not agree. We have thousands of academics out of this country and doing very well. Not to talk of Doctors,Nurses etc, We can replicate the same here.
When wil we ever be wise. The sum of money Nigerians pay in Ghana for fees is about the same amount we budget for the entire universities in the country, not to talk about UK and US. If we make our system work well like it use to be before, we can attract back foreigners to our schools both as students and lecturers' and with that alone we will raise more. Money for the nation. It is a pity that even the minister does not recognize education as a business that can raise good money for the country. If they know, then the assumption of deliberately killing government schools to grow their private universities is true

lincy: I wonder Y a Boss will ask a subordinate to go back to work and the boss is being quationed, ASUU is bitting more than can chew. The federal govt. Should audit the whole fED university, the should give account of the money that has be allocated to Fed uni. Before now .

We ar named by the white race "people with low IQ"

* ASUU embarked on strike lobbing for huge allocation even wen certain amont has being given to them, it went viral that same money that is ment for running of the accademic up keeps was shared among the lecturers and the mass didn't intervain, now they ar asking for more. I ask the so called low IQ profs. The little that hv been offered to them wat do they hav to show for it if not sleep around with the female students and offering fake scores.

I dare the mass to demand from ASUU audit on wat they hav done so far witz the previose allocations on the possetion.
WHO KNOWS IF THE MONEY Won't GO DOWN DRAIN.
They should show blue print of the old allocations awarded to them and the mass will back them up or Go BACK to class room.

Was told teaching is passion, why being monetize in detriment of poor students.

Who is this disgrace. Don't you know that whatever you post is accessible worldwide. Don't dare hide under typographical error, because the level of ignorance you possess in your write up shows that you are deficient both in knowledge and in ability to compose and write a good letter. Those you seem to be accusing are far away from you.

Sincere 9gerian: This is the ACTION FILM that I've been waiting for. When all pleading and negotiations fail, the only option left would be physical FIGHT, aka WAR. Lets do it man to man and get bruised so that both sides can learn the RIGHT lessons going forward. No one has monopoly of violence or force.

let ASUU go to supreme court or United Nations or wherever. It is part of the war. Let the President do what he can and let ASUU do what they can. It is now WAR. If we let ASUU get away with this terrorism on the university education system without a fight, we'll be setting a dangerous precedent in trade unionism.

During the last negotiations with the president which lasted for unprecedented 13 hours, the president granted ADDITIONAL concessions to ASUU but all to no avail. All these because a terrorist is the head of ASUU.

Meanwhile, we are not surprised that ASUU still enjoys the support of Tinubu and Buhari e-dogs who see the ASUU strike as part of the instruments of making the country ungovernable for a president they hate so much.

ARE YOU A NIGERIAN?
DO YOU READ AT ALL?
CAN JONATHAN JUST SIGN WHAT HE HAS PROMISED?

Zutchy: ASUU should just apply to INEC for registration as a new political party. Enough is enough.
When I watched Presido lament that the strike is political, I felt he was just joking but I now understand better.
ASUU has no reason to extend this strike this far after that meeting with the president. That meeting should have just been the way forward for ASUU. That was the first time a Nigerian President would sit to hold talks with ASUU over an ongoing strike.
The FG offered 200b and a review of the 2009 agreement in line with present realities. ASUU delegation expressed satisfaction and left to consult thier members. Since then, it has been a roforofo battle.

All the fedral govt came up with is a letter signed by the perm Sec Min of Education
for a 13hours plus meeting. ASUU seeking commitment to the agreement by Mr President or the attorney general is right.
We all heard the Senate President say publicly that, those involved in the 2009 agreement do not know their left from their right.
In my own opinion, this statement is what has led ASUU to seek governments commitment by a high ranking govenrment officer.

In all, the table has been set to call of the strike already. Wike should stop saying bullshit. I guess they are all annoyed with the G5 defection from PDP to APC.

chymystique: Take the 3million... And kip searching for anoda job!.. Goodluck!

Thanks for this comment. The guy is just raising hopes and fill like making people to hope they have
the kind of opportunity he/she has.

I'm forever grateful.

Poster take your time, we are not all foolish.

Strike is over already. Congress of various universities to be briefed tomorrow. All students should prepare for academic work.

The two lecturers are betrayals'. It was learnt that Dr. Daramola called ASUU NEC stupid for refusing to hold NEC meeting because of the death of Prof. Iyayi. He has no regard for life and I think he holds no principle when it comes to unionism. It was also learnt that he was booed out of the congress, when he refused to apologize to Congress members. It's a big propaganda that ASUU wants to end the strike in January. We all know that the Labor Minister said that ASUU will talk to its members and get back to government. The meeting has been scheduled for today. ASUU does not want a situation in which they will be told the permanent sec, who signed the current letter ob implementation modality does not know his right from his left.

This is a good development. After 3-5 years in the best universities in the world, do you think this chaps will return or stay in our Universities if they remain like this? To retain them at home, funding of universities being canvased by ASUU needs to be effected appropriately and not with lip service. The pay should also be such that it will encourage them to stay. WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT WE ARE SENDING OUR BEST BRAINS OUT. AND OUTSIDE THERE, THE DEVELOPED WORLD WILL DO AND OFFER ANYTHING TO THEM SO THAT THEY CAN STAY IN THEIR COUNTRY. I HOPE WE GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

the planmaker: embezzlement things

Universities are not what you think of when it comes to accountability. First the money will be released in batches to the school and the researchers access it when needed. The university usually has 5-10% of such grants as its own portion. While the researchers are also compensated.

Any thing outside the lay down procedures such as embezzlement will lead to the blacklisting of the university. Such that no international body conducts research with it again. I hope you can see the different. Congratulations to unijos. 6-9 universities are to benefit from this. UNILAG was also shortlisted. We await other schools to come up with their own announcement soon. Those who criticize ASUU on funding should multiply 8million dollars by 6-9 universities, convert it to naira and compare it to what universities are requesting government to do. That's 7-11 billion naira for 6 -9 universities.

With this, patents will come in. More companies will be attracted to Nigeria and most trado-medical practitioners will find a means of making their products refined and marketable all over the world. Please like this if you think ASUU means development for our schools and Nigeria at large.

Nothing will happen to the lady if she knows what to do. She should liase with the schools disciplinary committee. They will arrange the money and the venue. While security personnel's will be available in the hotel. I bet you that once this lecturer is caught, he will be expelled and in some instances his certificate can be revoked by the university making him unemployable in any university again.

Don't fall victim always act responsible and wise. Lets get rid of the bad ones out of our universities.

Hmmmmm how can a PhD holder be an assistant lecturer? Kogi state University students
who knows this lecturer should identify him to Nigerians on this forum. Tell us about his lectures, antecedents
and prospects.

Students that lack decorum say whatever they like. Is it not better due process is followed than to mute another strike action next year.

Exams starts 2nd Dec/9th Dec

Nuzo':
Crap!

Sue the terrorism sponsoring gay boys immediately!

Shame on our leaders. Are they just knowing the financiers of terrorism after 4 years, why all this exposition on G7 governors and their supporters. From aircraft oppression, to building demolition, to suspension etc. I think the presidency and the ruling party should concentrate on governance and stop witch hunting. Re-election has never been good in Nigeria. I support a six year single term with good legal and accounting system.

Congrats to the Ex-Boy

How small pikin take know Ojuju Calabar?

karl max: Lagosians are aware of the fraud called lagos state government and all their media propoganda!!!come 2015 we would boot dem out of power!! They can continue their propoganda on the internet and the pages of newspaper but the electorates are wiser now

Hope you are not insinuating that the electorate will vote PDP in Lagos. There's a great difference between a pilferer and an armed robber even though both are thieves.

We don't have 120 chapters of ASUU. Stop posting speculations.

December last year, Wada's convoy was involved in accident that killed his ADC and Wada himself broke his leg. Now Wada's convoy again has killed an erudite scholar.

He should better change his escorts or give them a firm warning orders or he himself will die soonest. I can remember how those escorts often drink at the slightest opportunity when at occasions.

Its sad. AIT reported that it was a head on collision with the convoy of Kogi state governor. Those escort vehicles drivers are usually very bad and rough drivers. A year or two ago, the governor of kogi himself was involved in an accident.

University of Lagos ASUU congress for today also unanimously suspended the strike. NEC meeting to hold on Wednesday.

Congress in schools holds on Monday. At least there is information for Unilag, Unijos and Uniuyo on their congress for Monday. The decision of the congress will then be taken to the zones and the zones to the National Executives. Hopefully a decision should be reach by Thursday or Friday next week.

merbenko: who kill the strike

Messi

nerodenero: Condemn all. Don't be sectionalYes now, you should expect such names because they are Nigerians.

All of you are funny. Ayo is not a name of SW people alone. Its a popular name in cross river state among the ogoja people. In all stop tribalism. While living in the north, I have seen women in purdahs, sleep with men other than their husbands. Immorality has no tribe nor colour. Even oyinbo's do commit such sins.

Nani4all: evrytin about me is turning positive except ma HIV status

Does it mean you are positive to hepatitis? Structure your comment well oooooooooo

The first thing to consider in how to overcome habitual sin is to note the change, or transformation, that takes place when a person is saved. The Bible describes the natural man as “dead in sin and trespasses” (Ephesians 2:1). As a result of Adam’s fall into sin, man is born spiritually dead. In this state of spiritual death, man is unable and unwilling to follow and obey God and habitual sin naturally follows. Natural man sees the things of God as foolishness (1 Corinthians 2:14) and is hostile toward God (Romans 8:7). When a person is saved, a transformation takes place. The Apostle Paul refers to this as the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). From the moment we place our faith in Christ we are in the process of sanctification.

The process of sanctification is that by which those who are in Christ are conformed by the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). Sanctification in this life will never be fully complete, which means that believers will always struggle with remaining sin. Paul describes this battle with sin in Romans 7:15-25. In that passage he notes that even though he desires to do what is good in the eyes of God, he often does what is evil instead. He does the evil he doesn’t want to do and fails to do the good that he wants to do. In this, he is describing every Christian’s struggle with sin.

James says we all sin in different ways (James 3:2), and that means each of us has what may be called “besetting” sins. Some sins are easier to overcome than others. Some struggle with anger, others with gossip, and others with lying. The point is that each of us has a sin (or some sins) with which we struggle. These besetting sins are habits that we developed during our lives as unbelievers and require more grace and discipline to overcome.

Part of the process of overcoming these habitual, or besetting, sins is in recognizing the transformation that has indeed taken place within the believer. Paul writes, “So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11). When Paul says, “consider yourselves dead to sin,” he is telling us to remember that in coming to Christ, the power of sin has been broken in our lives. He uses the metaphor of slavery to make this point. We were at one time slaves to sin, but now we are slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:17-18). At the cross, the power of sin was broken and in becoming Christians, we are set free from sin’s slavery over us. Therefore, when a Christian sins, it is no longer out of the necessity of his nature, but because he has willfully submitted himself to sin’s dominion (Galatians 5:1).

The next part of the process is recognizing our inability to overcome habitual sin and our need to rely on the power of God’s Holy Spirit, who dwells within us. Back to Romans 7, Paul says, “For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out” (Romans 7:25). The Christian’s struggle against sin is one in which our ability does not match our desire. That is why we need the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul later says, “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit, through God’s Word (John 17:17), works sanctification in the people of God. Habitual sin is overcome as we submit ourselves to God and refuse the temptations of the flesh (James 4:7-.

Another part of the process of overcoming habitual sin is to change the habits that facilitate it. We have to adopt the attitude of Joseph who, when tempted by Potiphar’s wife to come to bed with her, left the room so quickly that he left his cloak in her hands (Genesis 39:15). We simply must make every effort to run from the things that tempt us to sin, including access to food if we are given to overeating, and access to pornography if we are tempted to sexual sin. Jesus tells us to cut off our hand or pluck out our eye if they “offend” us (Matthew 5:29-30). This means removing from our lives anything, even those things close to us, if they tempt us to sin. In short, we have to change the habits that lead to habitual sin.

Finally, we need to immerse ourselves in the truth of the gospel. The gospel is not only the means by which we are saved, but it is also the means by which we are sanctified (Romans 16:25). If we think we are saved by grace, but sanctified by our own efforts, we fall into error (Galatians 3:1-3). Sanctification is as much a work of God as justification. The promise we have from Scripture is that he who began a good work in us will complete it on the last day (Philippians 1:6).

jamace: They failed to add that about 75% of the lecturers offer good grades to the highest bidder and frustrate students who fail to bribe for good grades.

May be in the Eastern schools, were they view everything as buisness. Nonsense talk from a supposed to be sensible person.

Obi Okpor: Mehn!See job vacancy o!Make i prepare my cv for application.FG,abeg make una scrab ASUU nd employ us that are ready to work.Lookin‘ forward for the advert!

Who is this trader? Are you one of the market women? Today is first November, you can start implementing your threat by chasing all ASUU members out of the country.

oluafolabi:

Just what I was about to type.. They are going on strike for just a day even though their grievances are genuine.
ASUU should take a cue from that...

When 4month strike does not move our leadership, what will be the effect of one day strike? You will see the response of the UK government, especially the parliament on these one day strike as if all hell has been let loose because they know the value of education.

The funeral service of the late step mother of Dame Patience Jonathan is currently been broadcasted life on AIT.

People easily get carried away by pictures that could be photoshoped. Where was that? And when did it take place? Can the vow with his life that the girl lying down is his girlfriend?
