You gat be kidding me bro. Check out Alpha Maximus. His grammar rocks.

Congrats to him. I wish him success in his future endeavours.

I like the way he answered the question on whether he had a girlfriend or not.

Sijioke: i have not only discussed with them. We even invited a family freind but my dad rejected the offer. He said I must do it.

Oh! That's serious. I'm sure those who have experienced this before or parents on the forum will advise you better. Forgive me, I'm a small boy.

Oga, you again? Well, you should understand na. The post is explanatory enough.

Samtolly4JESUS: Boss jaryeh, no one is against the struggle.

I just think press conferences isn't enough!.......

I think the SUG should threaten to boycott the upcoming POSTUME......... That should drive some nuts in........ What ya think?

POST UTME date hasn't been fixed. They can't have time for that now sef, they're frustrated already. But if they fix the date without resolving this issue, trust Awo boys na. Them go scatter am, that one na constant k.

kykhelomor: I rep unilorin,better by far

We rep. GreatIFE!!! We don't take shiits like the boarding school you're talking about.

fattbabakay: Greatest Angola!!!! Articulate Angola!!!!

Great! Articulate!

Pls stop propagating false news. No change yet. This is what we're fighting against. Thanks.

Bantino: The good thing is, u r here...

For what sir?

To those clamouring for protests, that may not be possible now because majority have left, except for the ever-taatan Awo "men". Press conference is the way-forward, I think. It's just to let the world - government, parents, and all concerned citizens - know what's going on.
Apart from that, protests will be organized later, the SUG still awaits responses from contacted quarters such as the senate, SSA on Youth Matter etc.
So, fellow great Ife students, let's continue with our massive media campaign, let's create more threads, tweet more, update more on this issue. Giving up now will give the management an impression that it has won. No, we must fire on. No going back. Forget all the complaints, they won't help, let's do all we can to ensure our victory. If you have suggestions for the SUG, you can reach our president on facebook, just send him a message.

United we stand....
Aluta continua, Victoria ascerta.

Bantino: Goodmorning jaare, no mind Odunharry...

Good morning sir/ma. Sorry for the late reply.

bushdoc9919: I'm not proffemi....but to answer your question,in 2009,ASUU signed an agreement with the Govt in which N3trillion was promised.Fast forward to 2013 ,and ASUU discovered that the money was not paid. They then went on strike....and the Govt eventually told them the truth.....they could not afford N3trillion,but N1 trillion over 5years was offered instead. ASUU reluctantly agreed, and the deal was struck.

In other words.....the money OAU,and other individual universities would have gotten out of that N3trillion was reduced by 2/3rds.

VC's saw the writing on the wall....and fee increases was the result.

If we had the money.....N3trillion won't have been much problem.....but we don't (and that is partly why i suspect GEJ wanted to remove fuel subsidy....to get more funds for the treasury).

No no no. ASUU's demand is out of it o. That's another thing. Mind you, if your analysis is correct, it means our management didn't receive anything from FG until 2013, after the strike. I don't think so.

proffemi: Are you saying you do not think you cost FG that much? How much do you estimate is the value of the education you currently get? I think this is the crux of the matter.

PS: sorry I have to leave for a meeting now (just informed). Be assured however that I will return by around noon, so please post away!

Well, it doesn't really add to the argument on ground. But I think if it costs FG that much, our budgetary allocation would be high, up to about 40%, which is not so.
The government is trying, actually, but it still needs to try more 'cos it has more.

Later, I was about logging out too. Thanks.

proffemi: I hope you don't think I will shy away from stating my mind because my stand may be unpopular?

I think students are being silly in their demands. They should not argue that N30,000 is too much for tertiary education in 2014 (how can anyone say that, and not slap himself?). They should have focused on the fact that some students cannot afford to pay such.

Your focus should be on how serious the university is about helping indigent students. By most of their utterances and actions, the students have demonstrated that the school showed them too much respect by offering to dialog. Their utterances did not show that they grasp the issues at stake.

We feel it is outrageous and unjustified. The question is: Why the increment? How much debt has the management ran into while it was collecting "ridiculous fees"? Mr VC said FG's intervention fund has reduced, we asked "how much was it and how much is it now?".

It's a long story sha, everything points that "won fe gba wa ni o". The management told "naked lies" in several occasions....."omo t'o ba paro ma jale".

Did you read the SUG press release?

proffemi: There are certain aspects of the change that will start from government, but this is not one of them.
Let me personalize this matter a bit: do you Jaryeh believe that the government spends up to N500,000 on your education per annum? Since you pay less than N50,000 currently, do you Jaryeh think the government has not done enough by paying N450,000 on your behalf? As someone has asked, do you think it is fair that it is this same you (and not the hairdresser or mechanic) that is demanding for more?

N450,000? In what way? If ASUU felt we needed more and demanded for it, why can't I?

proffemi: Ours or theirs? That is always a simplistic way of looking at things (reminds me of George Bush circa Gulf War).

I am on the side of logic and commonsense.
I am on the side of sustainability.
I am on the side of building a greater Nigeria.
I am on the side that pities students who (reference to iwonbaoko's analogy) want FG to slice up their meat into many worthless pieces.

I expect that at different times, I will find myself supporting either the students or the university administration.

Ok. What's your say on it?
