It is cristal clear that Ngige and AGF should be held responsible for any students unrest in the coming days.
The Senate leaders advised ASUU and government reps to meet at half way of whatever agreement they had in the past. Expressly, ASUU move to the half way but Ngige and AGF are foot dragging the Senate's advice by calling for unnecessary meetings here and there.
ASUU for example had agreed with federal govt to release #220 billion for revitalization of education sector, now based on Senate's advice, ASUU agreed to #110 billion with a clause that the money should be released in the next four years so as to make it easy for government why government was asked to pay salaries arrears of her workers to show sincerity to the on going dialogue. Up till now, one naira have not been paid. Even, the earn academic allowance owed by govt in the past five years which are in tune of #40 billion, the govt pleaded to pay #30 billion out it, and the remaining #10 would be paid mid next year 2021, for students to go back to class, ASUU agreed this govt offer. Why Ngige and co failed to do there bits? Students! please be on the alert to know when to ask questions.
Again, students should just know who to be held responsible.

God forbid you will be migrated to UTAS. You are already on IPPIS so no need to get yourselves worries. Stay with your amputated salaries that you are collecting on IPPIS platform. Have you ever asked your Unions-NASU SANU one question? why is your minimum wage arrears not paid since April 2019? find out from your enslaved platform IPPIS.

ASUU is made UTAS here in Nigeria with rigorous research by academics, your IPPIS is made in US by some government appointees finding fact on poor masses of Nigerian workers. This is modern slave trade. It is a pity you won't understand anyway!

Fayose and Peter Obi teach APC how to siege serving Governor that popnose on other state election. It is still 2 : 1 .PDP 2, APC 1. Ekiti 2014 election and Anambra 2013. El rufai and Rotimi can explain better. So Wike should stop crying because they are still leading in this devilish act that APC is showing all of us now. I don't support it any way but history brought us here today.

The Z*mbies will soon called him a wailer especially those from the waste.

you mean those of you from the yeast.

provide what to use for better improvement not media talk talk

*A VERY CORRECTIVE HISTORIC PIECE*

*Copied from "FRIENDS IKOYI CLUB 1938" Forum posted by Adenike Marinho, a Medical Doctor.*

*HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED*

I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands. At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit.

*They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu.*

*They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession*.
*What he said was that "if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position." Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version.*

*Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued:*

*1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail!*

*2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote*

*3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN)*

*4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North..*

*Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy.*
*You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you"*

*I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth*. *The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.*

*Now to make three points from all this:*

*A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently*

*B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time*

*C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged.*

*And to think of it, EVEN IF OUR PARENTS QUARRELLED, SHOULD WE THE NEW GENERATION CONTINUE THE SAME WAY?. ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEOPLES AND NIGERIA*

naija indeed

Who do we offend in this country?

With all your revelations here about how ASUU members are corrupt. Why are they still poor? Compared to their counterparts from Africa e.g. South Africa, Botswana etc.

KingAzubuike:
Ippis is here to stay .. Nigerian lecturers are one of the most corrupt set of people. They will win research grants but never implement it into any research. They'll rather use it to build houses, buy new cars and carry women. Then now throw all the burden of their research to their final year project students. Ever wondered why most times na your supervisor dey give you project topic lol? It's for his own benefit.

Asides that, many of them also lecture many higher institution , collecting salaries on multi scale. That's why they are against the IPPIS.

Hell Rufai son that looks like AIDS patient is at it again.

clown Buari, what do u have to say? Let see another covid one and nine birus

See, i started from squatting to joint rented of a room true little assistance from my girl friend then and she is now my wife with two kids.
Today, we are living in our own three bedroom flat. Intact this afternoon, she pleaded to me to build my next house on the name of our kids, imagine how we started though we are still hustling.
I had nothing then, but we planned together, and everything worked excellently for us.

Your guy is even richer than me then. God knows what i am saying, if he can rent an apartment now by himself ha, he has greater hope through prayer and hard work.

PrinceCEE:
You're simply stupid!

Replying those uncultured set of generation from a certain tiny region in Nigeria makes you look like them. I was privileged to do my NYSC in their region and God made me to see the rottenness in their culture. Since then, no amount of uncultured statement i get from them, i quickly reflect on those ugly experiences. Please, don't be moved, that is their culture, nothing like respect for anyone even their parents. The earlier you understand this, the better you tolerate them.

So, i am not surprised. I even expect the worst adjectives from them them.

YOU ARE A BIG FOOL
