Never you classify Nigerians as such. In a time where you hear of MEND, NPDVF, Ombatse, Boko Haram etc, taking arms and fighting the government hands down for however frivolous their reasons may be. This is hardly the hallmarks of a gutless and cowardly people.

It takes the wise to know that ASUU have been shifting the goal post when the game is on ever since. First, it was earned allowances. In fact, that was the main reason the wise was declared. Consult July 1st 2013 newspapers for reference. Since, that didn't hold much sway, to gather sympathy, the issue of 2009 agreement and full implementation was brought on board, knowing fully well that FG cannot fully implement it. After much tussles, the president met with ASUU and new proposals came. Next, the unfortunate death of Prof Iyayi. ASUU blamed FG and says it will not call off strike until he is fully buried. However childish it may sound but this caused a real row in ASUU circles. In further to stall and sabotage the efforts, new demands on the president signature and co was brought up when a representative of the FG has signed the document. The most annoying of all, demanding that salaries must be paid and immediate disbursal of some billions.

Just one question, if graduates are unemployable and as it is popularly said "half-baked". Who are the chefs?




I see those things and I am a student too. But Rome wasn't built in a day, it is a gradual process. Come to think of it, ASUU played a great role in the decay via strikes and non-performance. Know the real enemy.
ASUU should cooperate with FG in tackling this mess and not arm-twisting the government.

It also makes ASUU happy to know the very students whose feelings were not considered when decisions that have a strong effect on their future negatively is made is supporting them on their selfish course and mission to dis-stabilize the already fragile nation.


Thanks, but the country comes first before any union.

Goddex: [size=16pt]Bros, this is the dumbasss situation we find ourselves in this country. Even the APC media and their e-rats here on nairaland opening their stinking mouths did everything to justify the action of Fashola when he sacked Lagos doctors for striking. All of them now suddenly support ASUU because they see it as an opportunity to run down the federal govt. And we expect Nigeria to progress with these tribal, religious, ethnic, political sentiments beclouding our sense of reasoning?[/size]

Aussie: There is no hope for the current crop of generations in this country. Nigeria seems to be doomed!
We are simply not sincere with ourselves. We practice politics of religion and ethnicity and until majority of us change, there is no hope. It will take at least a century to clear the mess we find ourselves today.
We don,t love our so called Nigeria, but strongly in love with our religion and ethnic, which unfortunately is the bane behind our under development and backwardness.
Until we affirm and decide to exude the lyrics of our national anthem and Pledge, hich I doubt will happen anytime soon, we shall continue to have backslid as a country without any defined course to chart.

shayne lifa: HONESTLY anybody dat wil say dis strike is not politicaly motivated must tink twice. ASUU chairman is a confused dude just lyk GEJ. 78% of schools voted for d strike to b cald off. wat ws fagge tinkin wen he said dey wil cal off d strike if majority ov d schools voted against continuation ov d strike. NAIJA IS JUST DOOMED RIGHT FRM UNSET. ITS A PITY NO BODY CN CHANGE DAT FACT ,NOT EVEN SO CALD BLOODY ASUU

Built2last: My kid brother works there and i remember he told me his take home is 243k or there about.

But if i were you, i will make money the last factor, put passion and job satisfaction ahead and you will be wealthy.

the bigger question is why are you going there.

Has your desire for a job led you into desperation?

You must do what you like to make it in life.

That works for me.

ngozievergreen: Go and check the tribe that produced more lecturers in d western /northern region bfr 1970, am not talking of now. presently, tribalism n quota sys have displaced merit.
Besides, zik didn't make any Igbo VC! the white men handed univ of Ibadan to capable hands, coincidentally igbos.
zik wasn't even clannish as Ahmadu bello and Awo.
He usu told igbos those days to imbibe self reliance and competition; and he was more of a nationalist/Africanist-Zik of Africa.
.
About the multinationals, Awo and Gowon deliberately schemed igbos out of shareholding and bereaucracy thru d 20 pounds stuff and outright marginalization.
If Igbos were allowed to have their millions and their pre war positions, u and i knew wat the situation will be like.
.
Again those oil/banking/civil service were handed to yorubas while hausas took the armed forces n politics.
The result is what we have till today: yorubas being more visible in multinationals and Hausa in army/ politics.
Though the statistics are getting better these days.
.
The lesson from this is that yorubas can rise ONLY when the igbos are already flat on the floor.
On a good day, u can't even compete.
Even after everything, the wealth distribution among igbos remains the best in the country and Ibadan/oshogbo appears more war torn than Enugu/owerri.

Goodleader: I work in salary unit of Firstbank Ltd.My Ceo earns far more than the highest on this list.I make bold to say and stand to be corrected that he is among the highest paid CEOs in Africa. Doubting Thomases may prove me wrong.

Sagamite: I am pretty sure there will be no sector in Nigeria where starting salaries would be up to N10m, talkless of N15m.

Solupeace: My cousin just got a ministry job which he feels it's better than his current banking job. Kindly advise on the best way to go about since he has an outstanding loan that he doesn't have money to offset.

ujoinme: Dude was it not the same amaechi that threaten the FG with fire and brimstone if it did not share the ECA to states? get your facts right! the FG did just what Amaechi and his faction of NGF asked for from the FG and now they are crying wolf.

take dat: Is Amaechi a member of the Jang led NGF? Is Jang elected to govern Nigeria? Each State is a stake holder, Plateau cannot decide for Lagos or Rivers likewise Rivers cannot decide for Plateau. The ECA is not a FG account, it is a Federation Account. The President cannot unilaterally make decisions to deduct from the ECA to augment the shortfall in revenue simply because he is incapable of curbing crude oil theft. The problem is that there is no synergy, and you can't lay the blame solely at the feet of Amaechi, the President himself is guilty.

If you guys want to attack Amaechi, I am less concerned but he raised genuine questions!

lincolnj88: u are just anoda die hard haterz of gej..... I trust My gej and his cabal....... D only.ansa ameachi will get is silence, because its d best ansa given to a foollll.....

Abt d waterways, since u are from d desert, d state govt is responsible for d state inland waterways, and crude Oil is been channeled from the inland waterways to d international waterways were d nigeria navy has 10% of tackling crude Oil theft..... If the inland wáter ways are tight den we will have little or no crude oil theft....

OdionOdion: That was the meeting attended by NGF delegation led by Gov Jang to Aso Rock after the commissioning of their secretariat.Try and find out from your Gov Ameachi if he attended that meeting and if no why?.Gov Ameachi wasn't elected to govern Nigeria but a sub-national(Rivers),Nigerians elected a humble and intelligent man called Goodluck Jonathan to be their leader not Gov Ameachi,he should wait for Jonathan to complete the mandate by 2019,he should be patient(or Judith) till Nigerians who overwhelmly elected say otherwise.Gov Ameachi mustn't kill himself because of GEJ being President,Gov Ameachi can do absolutely nothing against GEJ,he is a child of destiny

Reference: Please, please, please. Not here. We are talking about businesses and companies that seek to create wealth not perenial failed organizations, money pits, corruption schools and plazas of ineptitude called civil service where 95% of our collective wealth is wasted.

Abeg make una no talk where people who dey work dey talk. Abeg.

gtrust: And after losing he will also ask INEC to refund his money or cancel the election

DaLover: You are right when you said that private people own refineries in other climates but it doesn't change the fact that refinery is a strategic national asset in Nigeria.
Nigeria's economy is resonating around oil and refining is one of its life wires, also, do you phantom the national crises that ensue when there is shortage of petroleum products?

The end of the road like i told you before is that the people who can afford it are likely going to be foreigners who don't have your country's interest at heart, even some indigenous companies who may afford it will source funding abroad.

Also consider the position of foreign politics, immediately the US sanctioned Iran's oil, all the Allies of the US complied, that means that if Iran didn't have NIOC (being their local oil company) their oil business has ended which you and I know is the main stay of their economy.

that is what will happen to you when you privatize all your critical national assets.

let me remind you that NIOC (National Iranian oil company) can be likened to our NNPC, today it has become their saving grace.

Privatization is not better than JVA and PPP, NNPC holds majority stake in SPDC, while shell (the private company) is the operator, that way, they bring in their world class operation standard, state of the art technology and for over 55yrs, they have ensured Nigeria is exporting oil.

It is a silly economic policy to sell off ALL your critical national assets in the name of privatization.

Under a US sanction, all the foreign companies will halt operations, now when you have foreign companies in charge of Power, foreign in charge of Aviation, Banking, insurance, foreign companies in charge of refining, foreign companies in charge of oil production, foreign companies in charge of ordinary water, what do you have?

just one sanction and all these companies pack up or there is a melt down like the 2008 saga, Nigeria will literary shut down.

my model is this; privatize telecom by bringing MTN but keep Nitel
Privatize power but keep NEPA, NEPA can Own a majority stake in the power sector while Manitoba brings in their world class experience to keep it afloat.
privatize The downstream by licensing Orient and co but keep PRCN, you never can tell what will happen to the economic dynamics of the world.

What about competition? when you licensed MTN and murdered NITEL, nobody competed with MTN till Glo arrived, meanwhile NITEL could have done the same job and increased the competition further leading to lower tarrifs earlier than we had it.

lastly, do you know that when Lehman brothers liquidated, they equally fried their over sees assets, you don't want Manitoba canada to liquidate and Enugu disco remains in darkness forever do you? It is not in anybody's interest to have so much foreign exposure, the 2008 meltdown should serve as an eye opener.

Jonathan's administration is known for "quick fix" approach to national issues and that will be the problem of the next generation just like he is cleaning up the mess of our past.

What about the issues surrounding the PIB on balkanizing the NNPC, have they been solved before selling off its subsidiaries? those are the real issues, the problem with Nigerians is that they don't know how bad Govt policies affect them till it touches their skin.

The big question is; Why do you need to create a problem trying to solve another?

JP phillips, you and I will never agree on this...our philosophies are totally different on this topic, but what I can say for sure is that when the biggest country in the world treathens you, all your efforts will be in vain...right now iran is on its knees begging to scrap its nuclear program

This is the reply I gave to someone else, I am also giving it to you

the problem is that you trivalise policy fomulation and regulation...that is why you feel that if the government is not running business, then it is not doing anything...

Economies are built by government focusing on policy formulation and regulation, and not by government trying to run businesses...

""But the idea that it is sanctions that have brought Tehran to the table is wrong. The real cause is the desire of new President Hassan Rouhani to reach a rapprochement with the US, the EU, its neighbours and other world powers, alongside the fact that the US red line has changed from “no enrichment of uranium” to “no nuclear bomb”."

BoomBoom101: I have the same problem wit my 2002 European Honda accord that I just bought. I noticed d car consumes a lot of fuel which is so unfair from a 1.8L engine. I visited my Mechanic and after scanning we got d P0420 code. We discovered d catalyst had been stolen and stuffed wit some rubbish. My Car is very clean but its fuel consumption is so annoying. Pls I need help on where I can get it replaced and won't be cheated. Whoever that stole my catalyst converter will never experience happiness in his/her life. Amen.

Pukkah: The poor man is in serious trouble in this country. To make matters worse for the hapless masses, there's no help in sight. Politicians waste money anyhow and are driven by selfish interest.

There is no adequate drinking water or sanitation. Yet these leaders continue to squander money.

This is the same state where a market went up in flames recently and some of the traders attempted to jump inside the raging fire.

Politicians! Nigeria!!!

DaLover: Luckily we have the on going power privatisation program to refer too, no single ethnic group in nigeria has the power to buy all the rerfineries...
secondly...how are refinaries national assets of strategic importance?
Refineries many places in the world are owned by private people

simpleseyi: Yes, it is very good. Jonathan sold PHCN Ikeja Distribution Company to Obasanjo and sold Eko and Ibadan Distribution Companies to Abdulsalam, How much did Obasanjo and Abdulsalam earn thtoughout their military years and even as presidents to be able to afford to buy PHCN? Now Jonathan wants to sell Refineries to IBB, T Y Danjuma, Edin Clark, Atiku Abubakar and others, so that Nigerians will be left with nothing. Please when are they privatizing the air we breadth so that it will be properly managed by the "private investors" ? God is watching everyone on a 5D television.

horchukoh: Due to crude oil theft

horchukoh: 1 barrell of crude oil =77usd and we are producing 1.99million barrels per day someone should help me do the arithmetic and tell me how much we make from crude oil annually.Tha[/color]nks

Seun: Can you be more specific about your reasons for saying GTBank is the worst bank for Tbill investment and that First Bank is one of the best?

ndidibabe: Honestly, you are insane.

ojab2013: Female circumcision is not the same as the Female Genital Mutilatn. They are two different things. FGM involves cutting away the labia majora and labia minora while female circumsion involves cutting the upper part of the clit-ris. Female circumcision is good and healthy. All the adverse effects listed for female circumcision can also be gotten from male circumcision. It all depends on the medical expert. Please read more. We all echo what we hear not what we know. This is the Highest Level of Ignorance.
