Ohk bro...it would av been nice if there's

Is there any whatsapp group for photographers?
I'd like to join if affirmative.

I hope this gets to the right department, and perhaps to the Honorable minister himself, Babatunde Fashola (SAN). First I like to ackowledge the effort of this present administration towards overhauling and revamping of the nations power sector, and I deem it fit to say that I belive strongly in this admistration and I know the best is what we shall get.

However I like to call your attention to the injustice and 'pain' being inflicted on we the residents of ibeju lekki axis (Lakowe and its environs), these axis gets zero (0) electricity supply daily and this has been the 'norm' for years. Even when we have a huge power plant in Ajah that could have been to our advantage. The rather excruciating part is that just some few kilometers away from these afftected areas (Eputu, Oribanwa, Lakowe etc) there is usually constant elcectricity supply. These always makes me wonder if we are any less human or we do not pay our taxes like they do, because I feel very bad anytime I am driving home from ajah and I see electricity being supplied at the 'favoured' axis only for me to get to the to my area and see nothing but total black out.

I have followed this injustice with keen interest ever since I relocated to the area, infact I have lodged a complain to the Headquaters of PHCN in marina. But I was only told the normal cliche they fob us off with "This will soon be resolved, we are building a power plant at Elemoro that will serve that axis blah blah blah..." Buh the truth is that, that's exactly what we have been told since 2007, yet we are in 2016 (Nine Years) and they still haven't finshed the 'supposed' Elemoro power plant. So I began to wonder, is it that the government dislike us much that they couldn't provide the fund for the power plant OR the provided fund has been embezzled?

Like I said earlier sir, I strongly believe in this admistration, and all i am asking from you, is to allow the aura of 'change' get to the Eputu- Lakowe-Bogije Ibeju lekki axis too.

If the Elemoro plant is taking too much time to complete, they should share the little available from the ajah mega plant with us too, I see no justifiable reason why some axis enjoy good electricity supply and others (just about 1km distance) have non at all. Let's share the little availabe untill the Elemoro plant will be ready, especially now that it is taking 'forever' to complete. They pay taxes and we pay ours too. They shouldn't be partiality in getting the services from the government.

I anticipate seeing the positive change sprouting out soon.

It takes a whole lot to get someone to change a behaviour...especially a dominant behaviour. Even if she changes, it's only temporary till she gets what she wants - Marriage. Once she is married, she goes back to the way she has always been..

It's like what you guys drum in our ears daily...a man who cheats cannot change.. U cant change a man..bla bla bla.. What makes this case any different?

@OP... U know how she is. Decide if u can deal with it or not (all sentiments aside). If U can't, please move on. A more patient man/someone more compatible will come her way. That's the reality.

Thanks bro...that has always been my concern.
Buh que sera sera!

Tkini:

the problem av had in my r/p i s av given my love completely without reservation but the end result wasn't pretty......... my first ever r/p was in my 1st yr in sch I was very naive fresh outta sec sch and DT r/p mared my life till now.

Eyah, dnt give up dear. All u need to do is to be humble enough to learn from ur past relationships. I was a very bad lover in my past relatioships, but over time i ve learnt a plethora of things...am nt there yet though, still av a lot to learn. But am better nw.

Ioannes:
have you met any of her family members? it could be a family issue.

she probably was sexually molested as a child and she withdrew into herself since then. and I'll bet maybe a family member, maybe an uncle or somebody did the molesting, hence the lack of emotions from her.

I thought you said you love her? so you gonna dump her like the rest of them.

what length have you gone to help her find a solution to this problem?

if you were in her shoes wouldn't you expect "him" to stand with you in your hour of need?

I'll suggest you try and get close to the family.

I no her family but haven't met dem, when ever i try to tell her, her response is "not yet". I asked her about the molesting once, buh twas negative-perhaps she's finding it difficult to confide in me n say d truth.

I've always wanted to help her out but she's been very adamant. her usual phrase is "that's who I am' but she said she will definetely ammend her ways and love her husband to the core once she's married/abt to. But till den....

Oh i forgot to mention dis, she's very brilliant and doing awesomely well academically, she's more of career-driven person...so she's putting her career first nw. That's what she said.

vicstar:


this dude must be a comedian
Anyway,op just get on with ya life,you would have left things on friendzone

Abi o, sometimes i think in dat direction too.

Tkini:
I think I exhibit some of the characters of op girlfriend. av had 2 boyfriend's and they all complain DT am boring. the problem is DT I don't kW how to hold a conversation, it just gets boring and i actually don't av emotional feelings to anything or anybody. @op get to kW her and make her trust you she wld be able to confide in you. it may be DT she has be hurt by someone before and finds it difficult to love again,like me.
good luck.

Really. I'd like to see from ur perspective o....
I once asked her abt the hurt tin, but she said no, i even asked if she has been molested (sexually or physical) by a man before but said no still. But can't phantom y she's so irrational and callous.

so back to u, what exactly do u think can make u begin to have true emotions n feelings. How are u working on it? Or av u simply concluded that this is who u are n who u'll ever be.

tosyne2much:
Bro, one thing I detest most in people is that they expect people to take them as they are, while they are not in any way ready to change.. I just can't imagine myself getting acquinted to someone who's nursing her flaws with "shebi you know that's the way I am" attitude


What I will suggest you do is that, henceforth, let your frequent calls, sms, care and affection head on diminishing returns and watch her reaction afterwards. If possible, stopping calling her and even if she calls you, act like you no longer care about her.

However, you can as well start giving her monosyllabic replies during chat
just to signal to her that your affection and interest in her is dwindling. If truly she loves you as she claims, she will come of her shell and start doing things in a different way in a bid to have you back. And if she doesn't still give a damn and still acts the way she has been acting, you don't even need to tell her that it's over, just let the relationship die like that


I hope this helps

Thanks bro, i'll do exactly what u said. Actually I have done it before though but nt for long (abt 2 weeks) and She complained bitterly abt it n indirectly threatned that she may end the relationship if tins continue that way...so we talked abt it , n give ways to vivify the relationship. I av been playing my part since then, buh she has refused to play hers...she's still her normal self but expecting a lively relationship.

saraphina:
should I borrow u hammer?

I belive u got my drift sis/ma.
Perharps u can give me ur 'female perspective' on the issue. Seems u ladies understand each other better. If u were her, what could make u be so emtionless, what could resuscitate it...i dnt mind some pointers too

Glowbaby:
Give her time to miss u bt is nt an assurance bro bt it might work.No need to thank me bro.

How would u suggest I do dat? Nt calling or chatting her up for dat stint? Won't it be too obvious dat am trying to avoid her?

sayyid:
the girl already told you her problems from the start but you chose to ignore it now you are complaining. well don't jump into the conclusion that you want to break up with her just give her a little time, study her find out what she likes doing or talking about try and talk about those things maybe like books e. t. c maybe from there things can actually change for the better if you truly love her as you've said

truly she did, and I accepted her like dat. as for studying her, I have been her friend for a long time before we started dating, n I knw quite a few abt her, tried some but didnt augur well.

Cmiller:
The solution to your problem is simple:

*length x width x height = result*

|while you are waiting for answers, oga go and develop yourself before you end up as an usher in her wedding

It has nothing to do with my self development bro. Am doing fine with dat.

Dear Romanlanders, pls hear me out on this.
ordinarily I am not the type that shares his relationship matter with people, but on this I earnestly need your opinion, cos I want to be very sure dat am nt just thinking from one perspective.

I met the girl over a year ago. I got attracted to her the first day we met but had to let go of my emotions, I decided to just be her friend for almost a year to know her better, besides she was in a shabby relationship then. We became good friends, we would even talk abt her relationship, exchanged calls n all (though nt so frequent)...but after a while i gave her some space, due to her relationship with d oda guy.


Fast forward, mid last year she called me, and we talked as usual, den she told me she had eventually broke up with d guy. so i was like whaaoo maybe dis is d right time. we started making out again like it was before, den after a while i began to get some cue from her ¤more like green light¤. Eventually I asked her out in about 3 months time. Then things went well for a while, but shortly after dat she started being reticent, she would always keep to her self, when ever we talk on phone (for hours) I do more of the talking. We hardly see eachother, cos she's an indoor/introvert type. She doesnt really show much care like (well as far as I could decipher tru her actions) although she always claim she does-However, this were some of the issues she's always said the guy she was intially dating complained of.
And morover, she had told me long before we started dating and even on the night she said 'Yes' that she's not an emotional person. But my response to her was dat God made every human with some level of emotions, n dat having emotions/feelings is what makes us human. d fact dat she's nt expressing it is smth else but she have it in her; it's recessive.

about 2 months later she travelled out of the country, at yes we still maintained the relationship. But now tins av turned really sour between us. Our comminication is 'zero'. n wen we do she doesn't say much, always terse and succinct.

I av tried to talk to her about this several times but she'd jst listen but nt ammend, it began to seem like the more i complain to her the worse the sitution becomes.

We do chat often, but trust me wen i say the chat is 'super boring' i always try to cheer her up but she just wouldn't comply.

But before u conclude dat she's seeing someone else. Even while she was here in 9ja she had always being like dat, she confided in me that she lost all d relationships she's ever had cos the guys always make same complains. She's boring, rude, selfish blah blah blah
infact she told the day we started dating dat she afraid that the relationship might not last, because of the type of person she is.

I love her so much, infact I often tell her am willing marry her. But her unfriendly attitude is 'killing' my love for her gradually. I reallly want to help, and make the best out of her though. But I av lost all d clues on how to achieve dat.

Now i've come to a 'rough' conclusion, by simply asking myself this question. "how long will I continue with dis" i decide to end the relationship, infact I shud do it tonight cos we'll talk on phone as soon as am done typing but I need to see u guys opinion. So i decide to make it 2morro, i ll jst act normal with her on phone tonight.

I am sheer in need of ur opinion guys, should i end or salvage it. If the latter.... how?

Hmmmm, very profound point!
You r so right op.

I hope the MOD could put this on the front page for all to read. Cos d op made some senses.

@OP, Only thing I have to say to you is ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. If you wanna date your age mate, just make yourself RELEVANT, make her WANT you even when the older guys are clustering around her. Thats all bro.

For all those spitting poo about him waiting till he's in his twenties, how old was WIZKID when he had his first child?
How old was DAVIDO when he was already playing around with girls? (Even older ones)

Make yourself relevant bro that's the secret.

In Nigeria today, the academic staff union of
universities (ASUU) is known to everyone. ASUU
is popular not because it’s the beautiful bride of
Nigeria but because it is an association that
government at all levels and universities
students fear with pleasure. Categirically, ASUU is one of the stakeholders in the Nigerian
project. As a union, just like other labour
unions, ASUU possesses constitutional rights to
go on industrial action, hence the one the
union has started since the 2nd of July 2013.
However, all efforts made by government to ensure that all the issues raised by ASUU were
resolved seems not to be acceptable to the
union. Many government representatives have
met with ASUU without recording positive
results. The Federal Ministry of Education has
met with ASUU, secretary General of the federation, Senator Ayim Pius Ayim, Vice
President, Namadi Sambo, Senate President of
Nigeria, David Mark, Senate Committee on
education and the House of Reps Committee on
Education have all met with ASUU leaders but
the union refused to suspend the ongoing strike. Expectedly, the President of Nigeria, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, despite his tight schedule,
on Monday 4th November, personally met with
ASUU for 13 hours. At the of the meeting with
President Jonathan, all the demands of ASUU
were reportedly met. After the meeting, ASUU leaders expressed
satisfaction. ASUU expressed hope that the
ongoing strike will soon be suspended. As the
union was planing to hold its national
executive meeting to formally table the issues
discuused with the President before its members, one of its leaders, Professor Festus
Iyayi died on a ghastly car accident. However,
the union secretly met ten days after Iyayi’s
death to take decisions that up till now, have
not be made to the general public, though
already exposed by the media. On the cause of the strike, ASUU members
wants FG to be paying them what they called
earned and responsibilities allowances.
Apparently to gain public support, ASUU said FG
should, in the next four year, invest a
whooping sum of N1.6trn on the university education in Nigeria. FG has agreed to invest
N1.2trn and ASUU objected not to the offer. Anyway, i coined this piece to expose some
facts. I wrote this piece because it is obviuos
that most Nigerians are not aware of the real
demands of ASUU. To many Nigerians, ASUU is
at home because of the poor state of
infrastructures in public universities across the country but to me, that far from truth. I am a
realist hence, I dislike being deceived and
cajoled. Country people, It is necessary I coin this piece
because lies are currently triumphing over
truth, while Propaganda is presently wining
over reality, and most pitifully, misinformation is
at the moment, singing victory song in the
media against accuracy and sacredness of facts. Let me assert that one of our major problems in
Nigeria is the fact that we don’t take time to
analyse issues for ourselves. Rather, we flow
with the tide of public opinion which is most
often defined by a few opinion shapers. Nonetheless, for the sake of the already
wheedled, coaxed and cajoled general public,
the analysis of the real ASUU’s demands from
federal government (FG) goes as thus: Duty free importation of education materials: If
this is approved, Nigerian custom Service will
stop collecting duty from those importing
education materials into nigeria. However, I
wish to tell the public one thing that they have
never heard: ASUU want FG to recognize her company called ASUU Holdings as the only
organization that will be importing educatiion
materials into the country. Can you see
greediness? ASUU Holdings want to be
importing education materials without paying
duty to the Nigerian Custom Service. Can you see selfishness? Is that what will turn Bayero
University, Kano to Oxford? Post graduate supervision allowances: ASUU is
demanding for the payment of one hundred
and fifty seven thousand Naira (N157, 000)
from the federal government on each of the
post graduate student’s research project
supervised. I.e. Post graduate diploma, masters and doctorate degrees’ students. It has been
confirmed that this has never happened in the
world. However, If this is approved, a lecturer
with five research students go home with
N800, 000 per session. Teaching practice and industrial allowances:
according to the National Association of
Nigerian Students (NANS), ASUU is demanding
for the payment of fifty thousand on each
student on teaching practice supervised. A
lecturer that supervises forty students per session go home with N2million. Same goes to
those on industrial attachment. It is
commonsensical for Transportation allowance
to be paid to Lecturers in this regard but I
doubt if FG can pay the amount being
demanded by ASUU as teaching practice allowance. In addition, as I write, education
students are not being paid allowance by
varsities management whose most members
are part of ASUU. Transfer of landed property: ASUU want federal
government to transfer all the landed
properties in public varsities to ASUU holdings.
The man who own a land own the building(s)
erected on it. Lawfully, giving all the landed
properties in public varsities to ASUU is like FG dashing out all the buildings in public varsities
to ASUU. That is the constitutional
interpretation. That will never happen till Jesus
Christ comes back. It has also been revealed by
NANS that FG has given ASUU national leaders
two hundred and fifty million Naira (N250million) as the take off grant of ASUU
holdings. ASUU want government landed
properties so that by the time their allowances
are paid, her members will start building
hostels accommodation on the lands and rent
them out to students. What a lucrative business! Honorarium for external moderation of
undergraduate and postgraduate examination
system: ASUU is demanding for the payment of
twenty thousand Naira (N20, 000) per each
examination paper supervised. That was what
they told the federal government. Execution of NEEDs projects: ASUU is
demanding that the one hundred billion Naira
(N100billion) already made available by the FG
for infrastructure development in public
varsities should be managed by ASUU holdings.
Please were lecturers employed to serve as contractors to government? How does that
benefit Nigerian Students? Study grants; external assessment of readers or
professors, Call duty and clinical duty and
hazard allowance and excess workload
allowance: A lecturer could be paid excess
workload allowance. That is tenable. Hazard
allowance could also be paid. That is justifiable. However,study grant, external assessment of
readers or professors, call and clinical duty, if
approved, are privilege, not the rights of ASUU. Non-salary condition of service, which includes
clinical loan, car refurbishing and housing loan:
All these are privilege if approved. They are not
the rights of ASUU. Aren’t lecturers being paid
monthly salaries? Research leave, sabbatical leave, sick leave,
maternity leave and injury pension: sabbatical
leave is already in place. The rules say a lecturer
on sabbatical leave should be paid for the first
six months. Anything after six month doesn’t
attract payment. Double payment is wrong. Take for an example, a lecturer employed by
the University of Calabar (UNICAL) but presently
on leave of absence at the University of Ibadan
(UI) will be collecting salaries from UNICAL for
the first six months and also from UI from the
first day he got there. ASUU is demanding for the payment of salary from both institutions
throughout the period of sabbatical leave. That
is impossible. Research leave is a just one. Very
necessary. However, I make bold to say that
shutting down of universities for more than
four months because of such demands is height of heartlessness. Provision of office accommodation and
facilities: No sane mind will counter this
demand. The present state of office
accommodation in most of our campuses is a
blot on the landscape. I support this demand
without any reservation. Pension of university academic staff and
compulsory retirement age, National Health
Insurance Scheme: the retirement age of
professors has already Been increased from 65
to 70 years. To me, this demand ought not to
have been approved because Considering the alarming rate of youths unemployment in
Nigeria, approving this kind of demand is like
delaying the breakthrough of Nigerian youths.
I consider the students that supported ASUU
over this as being naive. Patronage of university services: this is not by
force. It is not a right. Patronizing varsities
services is necessary and good for
encouragement but it is not compulsory.
Shutting down of classrooms over this was
wrong. Funds from alumni associations: please how
does this concern government? Private Sectors Contribution: A right is different
from a privilege. No government can force a
corporate organization to do what it doesn’t
want to do once he’s paying it’s tax
accordingly. Take for an example, the
government of Ekiti state cannot force Coca- Cola to donate classrooms to Ekiti State
University. The company can only be lobbied.
This is not a military reign, democracy has
taken over. Last on the list of the demands is the one that
ASUU sold to the media to gain public
sympathy: the release of N1.5trn within four
years for infrastructure development in public
varsities. FG has approved N1.2trn. More also, why are lecturers in states-owned
varsities on strike? Is it the FG that will offer
them all the allowances listed above? I believe
we are still having federalism as a system of
government in Nigeria. Furthermore, the
general public should note that ASUU has never had it so good like this since the union was
founded in 1978. The 25% of what the
Jonathan led government has offered ASUU
have never been offered to ASUU since the
advent of democratic rule in Nigeria. Agony of parents, Students and social
imbalance of the strike action: Furthermore, let me state without any fear of
favour that ASUU members are no longer on
strike because of Nigerian Students and the
reviving of the Nigerian Universities as they told
the public. If truly ASUU went on strike because
of Students, the ongoing strike ought to have been suspended since August while
negotiation continues. The strike ought to have
been suspended since governmmet offered to
be pumping N100bn as special intervention
fund for infrastructure development in public
universities coupled with the sum of N40billion released for the payment of ASUU’s earned and
responsibilities allowances. N87bilion was
demanded by ASUU for this. It is disheartning that after meeting ASUU’s
demands, the union is demanding from FG, the
salaries and allowances for the months they
were out of work. ASUU wants FG to be pay the
salaries for the month of August, September,
October and November that they didn’t work. Country people, the latest demands from the
stable of ASUU are disservice to all the Nigerian
varsity students whose destinies are being
delayed and future ruined by the ongoing
ASUU strike. The Nigerian Labour Act 2004 is unambiguous.
It states that labour unions can go on strike but
no payment for the time outside work. Why is
ASUU now demanding for salaries for the work
not done? Who will the pay for the house rents
of Nigerian Students for the period ASUU members were out of work? Who will
compensate our needy and poor parents for
the impending double money they will be
paying when ASUU finaly resumes? Who will
compensate those whose Mobilisation for the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) ought to have been perfected since July for them to be
mobilized for November? Who will compesate
the thousands of students that missed the
batch C Mobilisation as a result of ASUU strike?
Who will pay for the wasted time, delayed
destinies and ruined future of students? As it is now, those due for NYSC Mobilisation
may miss February mobilization as ASUU seems
not to be ready for resumption until January
2014. Our parents are presently wailing
because of the debt the ongoing strike has
plung them into. When the strike is suspended, parents will be paying double money for
pocket money, house rents, shelter etc. The
social effects of the ongoing strike is the most
pitiable. Many female students are now into
prostitution in order to earn a living. Many
students have lost their lives on the deadly Nigeria roads while traveling from one one
place to another. According to the information
released last month by the National Action
Committee on AIDS (NACA), the prevailing rate
of Hiv/AIDS amongst Studnets has increased by
3% due to the ongoing strike strike. students are redundant as many are presently living in
hopelessness and penury.
Expectedly, the general public that were
showing symphaty for ASUU when the ongoing
strike started are those mostly crying at the
moment as it is obvious to them that they have been fooled, wheedled and deceived by ASUU. Flabagastedly, When ASUU was told to go back
to classroom by the leadership of the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), many
kicked. Many values-eroded Nigerians alleged
that NANS has been bribed. The students
kicked against their leaders. All the excuses told by NANS were not welcomed by the
students. Then, the hypocrisy of ASUU was
mesmerizing their brain and thinking faculty
but today, the students that kicked against
NANS yesterday are the most critics of ASUU. It is without being hypocritical that I assert that
the statement issued on the 1st november by
the national executive councils of the Senior
Staff association of nigerian Universities
( SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of
Universities ( NASU) in respect of the ongoing strike embarked on by ASUU was an outright
vindication of my humble self in relation to my
earlier position which says that ASUU is greedy
and selfish. For record purpose, the SSANU and NASU’s
Statement goes as thus:
“The three Non-Teaching Staff Unions of NAAT,
SSANU and NASU are opposed to any
extraneous demands by either ASUU or any
group in the university which are prejudicial to the welfare of our members. Our stand is that
government should jettison the so called
ASUU’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU being referred to by ASUU is for their
selfish end and it is bound to generate more
crises in the university sub-sector. The Non- Teaching Staff Unions in the universities will
stoutly resist any attempt to ‘sell’ the
universities to ASUU.” Now, assuming without conceding that myself
and NANS had been bribed by FG as some ASUU
Activists had been saying without any
evidence, were SSANU and NASU also bribed?
Compatriots, it is an affirmation of reality that
the only thing that is sacrostant in life is truth. Truth hurt pass lies. Lastly, let me state unequivocally that the latest
order issued to the striking ASUU members by
FG to resume on, or before 4th november is in
order. The order may looks tyrannical but it is
in order, he who hire can fire? FG should sack
any lecturer that fail to resume duty before the stated date. And for those who cares to listen,
what the latest directive issued to ASUU by FG
will achieve is enormous. Firstly, it will weaken
the support base of ASUU, break its ranks, and
for the fear of the unknown, a lot of lecturers
will resume before the December 4th government gave to ASUU members to go back
to work or be fired. The majority of lecturers
that wants to resume will return to classes
while the adamant, stubborn and stiff-necked
top echelons amomgst them might be the ones
to pay. Most importantly, the centre will not hold any longer for ASUU. And with factions
already brewing among ASUU leadership, it is a
perfect game plan by the government to get
back at them. More also, the public should
remember with nostalgia, the story of the 49
Lecturers sacked by the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in 2002. It was the same threat that
Government used that later materialized and it
took them 11 years before they were re-
instated (some died in the process). It is worth
mentioning that today, ASUU has been
decimated in UNILORIN.

I'm wondering where all those greedy state universities ASUU members stand now, cos FG didn't even recognize them as ASUU members talkless of giving damn about them...they frivolously denied their students right to education for 5months in the name of 'sympathy strike'. What a nefarious act.

This is where I would agree that the strike being politicized, if not what are the state governors waiting for? Can't they order their employees back to work?

Uyo – A Lecturer at the University of Calabar, Dr Edidiong Ebitu, has described the new demands by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as an act of sabotage of the education sector. Ebitu made the declaration on Friday in an interview
in Uyo. The teacher, who is a senior lecturer in the Department of Marketing in the university, said he was in support of the Federal Government’s directive that lecturers should resume classes. “The various branches of ASUU had already voted
to resume classes. The over four-months strike has done enough damage to the system. “The president had made reasonable concessions,
so ASUU should resume for other things to fall in place,” he said.

However, reacting to Ebitu’s views, the Secretary of the University of Uyo Branch of ASUU, Dr Aniekan
Brown, debunked the claim that ASUU was making fresh demands.

“ASUU is not making fresh demands, ASUU is asking for the implementation of 2009 agreements. “If any ASUU member says ASUU is making fresh
demands, I doubt if that person is an ASUU
member, that person is not informed,” Brown said. ASUU is demanding among other things, immediate payment of all outstanding salary arrears and allowances of members withheld during the strike. The union is also demanding a written commitment
from the president that N225 billion will be
committed to funding universities annually for the next four years. The Federal Ministry of Education had on Nov. 28, directed the authorities of federal universities to re-
open classes immediately and to treat lecturers who refused to resume work as having resigned. (NAN)
