 Education › Re: Strike: A Wrong Approach To Nigeria's Educational Problems by McLuhan(m): 4:38pm On Oct 24, 2013*. Modified: 5:13pm On Oct 24, 2013 |
Nigerians easily forget that it took five years of arduous negotiations (2004-2009) for the FG and ASUU to arrive at that agreement. Afterwards, the union wrote 52 letters of reminder between 2009 and 2011, pleading with government to implement the agreement. ASUU also adressed scores of press conferences, embarked on countless courtesy visits to public office holders, religious leaders and traditional rulers, appeared before the Senate and House of Representatives committees on education, and held public enlightenment rallies - all to no avail. It took a warning strike in December 2011 for government to even acknowledge the existence of the agreement and to condescendingly and grudgingly implement just one of its provisions, which had to do with the retirement age of professors. So when people deploy disingenuous arguments to absolve government of blame in this crisis, I simply laugh. It is either they don't know what they are talking about or may have been sponsored as purveyors of government's apologia. Nobody should attempt to cover their clever lies and artful inexactitudes by couching them in grammatical flourish and rhetorical unctuousness. Nigerians are not fools; they know who caused this avoidable crisis. For the avoidance of doubt, I should like to add that ASUU is not the problem of tertiary education in Nigeria, nor will long essays on Nairaland provide the solution. The problem lies with a government that prioritizes the maintenance of a 10-aircraft presidential fleet and the acquisition of exotic bulletproof cars for cabinet ministers, while neglecting the education of its citizenry. The solution lies with a sensitized citizenry who will wake up and say no to the continued mortgaging of their children's future. 1 Like |

[quote author=Erelu_Y]This is why NIGERIA WILL NEVER EVER PROGRESS. Nigerians deploy argumentum ad hominem (ignoring the substance of an argument to attack the personality behind the argument), a low level mental reasoning, to justify wrongdoings. Can Odua's alleged purchase of these BPCs with public fund be justified at a time of national infrastructural decay in almost every sector (health, education, etc)? No! The point is this: if Melaye is allegedly guilty of the same crime, then let the public stage a similar protest, and let them both be brought to justice.[/quote]Brilliantly expressed! Indeed, can such a display of ostentation be justified at this time when every sector in Nigeria is on the verge of collapse? To put it differently, the question is not whether the purchase of bulletproof cars passed through due process. The question is: Is such an acquisition conscionable in a country where passenger planes are falling like bombs from the skies and where university lecturers have been on strike for more than three months on account of unpaid wages? |

It is rather curious that the police arrested Mr Melaye but left his machete-wielding opponents. While I have absolutely no sympathy for the former legislator and while I remain unconvinced about the altruism of his motives, I am nonetheless repulsed by the open bias exhibited by the police team ostensibly sent to maintain order during the protests. When will our police officers learn that they are not appendages to political office holders and that they should not feel beholden to one party in a conflict? |

I am shocked but not surprised by the comments that Nigerians are posting about this ASUU strike. Is it not the height of hypocrisy for anyone to blame ASUU for a strike occasioned by government's insincerity and callousness? Which responsible government would wait for lecturers to embark on strike before paying them the allowances it entered into an agreement to pay? When will Nigerians realise that today's politicians, like others before them, do not care about the welfare of the citizenry and are only interested in feathering their own nests? If Nigerians can actually blame ASUU for government's refusal to honour its own agreement, then I think we are either looking at a case of mass psychosis or of voluntary national delusion. Whatever is the case, I pity this country. I pray that its citizens will soon be cured of their hallucinations so that they can appreciate reality and learn to lay blame where it rightly belongs. |

| Politics › Re: Hours Into Hunger Strike, Activists Give ASUU, FG Ultimatum To End Strike by McLuhan(m): 2:23pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
In a sane country, would someone need to embark on hunger strike - or exert any other form of pressure - before government implements an agreement it willingly signed? Isn't it an indictment on the Federal Government that it has to be compelled by strike action to adequately fund the education of its citizenry? Can a country that has lavished at least one trillion naira on its national legislators in the past eight years honestly turn around to claim bankruptcy when asked to pay the modest earned allowances of its university lecturers? Is it fair for Nigerians to ask the university lecturers to forget about the agreement and return to their ill-equipped and poorly remunerated posts, whereas the very politicians who were elected to safeguard the commonwealth are gorging on public funds, flying in private jets, splurging on bulletproof cars, educating their children at Harvard and Oxford, and mocking the poor citizenry? Shouldn't we at least tell our government officials the bitter truth that they are to blame for this ASUU impasse rather than blame the aggrieved lecturers or make fun of those who attempt, like this hunger-sriker, to call attention to the problem? |

Danjunior: Most nairaland commenting on these issue are just dombfounded, addamant.How do you propose the National Assembly should "force ASUU to call off the strike"? By passing a bill to compel them to return to the classroom? Or by buying them off with a fraction of the obscene sums the legislooters have stolen from the national treasury? No, such strategies won't work. I suggest instead that they sue ASUU to any impartial court of competent jurisdiction. It is there that the FG will realise that it cannot have its cake and eat it as well. It is there too that Nigerians will come to appreciate how morally wretched and utterly hopeless their government is. |

Kamanda: The problem with incompetent and mediocre leadership is that they end up with incompetent and mediocre officials around them.My brother, you shouldn't be surprised. Such stage-managed protests are the stock-in-trade of all pathologically corrupt and inept regimes. We saw similar protests in the days of Abacha, the dictator who attempted to transmute into Nigeria's life president. As we all know, Abacha attempted to proscribe ASUU, threatening to sack any striking lecturer and vowing to bring in Pakistanis and Indians to replace them. In the end, ASUU survived Abacha and not even one expatriate lecturer accepted the pittance that Abacha offered as salaries. Instead, Abacha reportedly died on the laps of an Indian - only that it was an Indian prostitute, not one of the Indian professors of medicine that he intended to hire. So, let those who think they can destroy ASUU continue in their self- delusion and let their rented crowds continue to applaud them. We have seen their type before. Where is Abacha today? And where are the people who thronged Abuja in rented buses to adulate him and castigate ASUU and other members of civil society? Leave the hired protesters and their sponsors.

alexleo: It was the federal Government of Nigeria that signed the agreement so it doesn't matter who was president at that time. Take it to court and they ll tell you the same thing. FG knows this that's why they can't take ASUU to court. They ll lose woefully in court. That's why they resorted to giving ASUU a small fraction of the agreement so that you people will have sympathy for them and start blaming ASUU. The same tactics they use when campaigning for election. They share rice and 1000 naira notes to people and the people clap for them and vote them to power. When they get there they ll turn their back to the same people and chop the money alone with their family members. Nigerians are not tired of the deceit of politicians. Keep blaming ASUU and remain at home while the children of the politicians you are supporting are schooling overseas or private universities around. Who loses at the end? Students.How I wish Nigerians would think just for once! Alas, we are not very good at using our God-given cerebral powers. Do we need a soothsayer to tell us that a country that has the kind of universities we have in Nigeria can never be anything but a perennial third world country? Does it require a rocket scientist to figure out that the Federal Government is mortgaging the future of our children by leaving education in the doldrums and paying our Senators the highest legislative salaries in the world? Why do we suppose Ghana is investing 30% of its budget on education? Why, pray tell me, is Nigeria ranked so abysmally low in almost all international development scales, such as the recently released Mo Ibrahim African leadership rankings, while smaller countries like Mauritius, Botswana, and Cape Verde are rated so high? Is it too much of an intellectual leap for us to realise that a responsible government does not pick and choose which of its agreements to implement and which to ignore? When will we learn to hold the real wreckers of our country to account? Is it not madness for people to attribute the rot in Nigeria's education sector to the same hapless lecturers who virtually have to coax water out of stone in order to give our children any semblance of qualitative education? I am so exasperated by the tragically contorted reasoning that I have found in some of the comments regarding this ASUU strike. If those comments represent the opinions of a cross-section of Nigerians, then I shudder to think what our future as a nation must be. I pity Nigeria. 1 Like |

Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda in Pakistan, Al Shabab in Somalia, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and so on and so forth. My question is: What is it about this religion that produces so many rabid extremists and vengeful terrorists? I can't understand this idea that one's place in paradise is contingent on the cold-blooded murder of innocent men, women and children. In my opinion, it is an abominable lie and a blasphemy for that matter. Part of the solution to these acts of terrorism, I suggest, is to indoctrinate the younger generation against the idea that people can achieve beatification by commiting mass murder. As Wole Soyinka wrote in The Man Died, "the first step towards the dethronement of terror is the deflation of its hypocritical self-righteousness." |

| Health › Shame: Nigeria Is Among The World's Three Polio-Endemic Countries by McLuhan(op): 10:10am On Oct 07, 2013*. Modified: 10:39am On Oct 07, 2013 |
According to the World Health Organisation, only three countries in the world (Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan) remain polio-endemic. This figure represents a drastic reduction in the number of countries where children still suffer from this dreaded childhood disease, down from a high of 125 countries in 1988. In other words, even the world's poorest countries, such as Burundi, Eritrea, Niger, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, have all eliminated polio. War-torn countries, such as Somalia (which has not had an effective central government for over 20 years) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (which has suffered perhaps the bloodiest civil war in recent history), and even basket cases such as Zimbabwe (which once boasted the world's highest rate of hyperinflation) - in short, all those countries that rank among the most wretched and dysfunctional addresses in the world, have performed better than Nigeria in polio eradication! The tragedy of polio is that while it can and has been easily eliminated in most countries, it still poses a threat to every child in the world due to the failure of these three errant countries to eradicate it. According to most global health experts, failure to eradicate polio from these last remaining strongholds could result in as many as 200,000 new cases every year, within 10 years, all over the world. Poliomyelitis affects children under five years, leading to irreversible paralysis and sometimes death when the child's breathing muscles become immobilised. Public health officials in Nigeria have blamed the disease's endemicity in the West African country on the failure of vaccination efforts in the northern part of the country, where religious and community leaders have often resisted vaccination as a Western-backed plot to sterilise their women. In the recent past, vaccination teams have been attacked and, in some cases, killed in northern Nigeria. Source: WHO Fact Sheet No. 114, April 2013.

Sincerely, I have never been overly enamoured with DSTV. Granted, I love foreign news channels, especially BBC, Sky News, and CNN. I also fancy National Geographic Wild. But I am exasperated by what I see as the exploitation of Nigerian viewers by DSTV's parent company, Multichoice. When I started working, I used to pay a monthly subscription fee of N9,000 for the premium bouquet. I did this every month for some time until I realised that I was cheating myself, since I had neither the time nor the interest to watch the pot-pourri of channels they offered - channels that ranged from the admittedly useful to the plain absurd. I then opted for less expensive bouquets until finally I left them entirely for free-to-air satellite TV providers. My advice is if one is not using DSTV for commercial purposes and one is not a English-football freak, there is really no reason to dole out such cash every month for pay-TV viewership, except you consider it a status symbol. Get a Strong decoder instead and connect to the Joy TV franchise from Ghana or Dokpesi's DAARSAT. Alternatively, get a dongle and access various content providers free.

bloggernaija: These guys like the politicians are a bunch of jokers .Fellow Nigerians, let's use our brains for once. The amount being bandied around represents the estimated cost of overhauling all the federal and state universities in Nigeria over a four-year period. This includes infrastructural costs such as the construction and equipping of libraries, laboratories, ultra-modern lecture theatres, studios, research facilities, simulators, offices, etc. It would also take care of take-off grants, research grants, conference funding, staff development, international collaboration, affiliation and liaison, personnel-related costs, and other overhead and capital appropriations in ALL government-owned universities in Nigeria. Note that this was what government agreed to do, having cognisance of the decrepitude of our universities. This intervention was to be carried out in stages beginning with a four-year initial period. But in its customary tardiness and tepidity, government simply forgot about its written commitments and never implemented them. Note too that the quoted amount is less than the annual budget of Harvard University alone. Note also that even a smaller country such as Ghana spends much more money per capita on tertiary education. And yet government wants us to believe that Nigeria is soon becoming one of the 20 most developed countries of the world. And yet we want our universities to be listed among the best in the world. Consider too that government spent more than 3 trillion naira to bail out private banks - note, PRIVATE banks - during the banking sector crisis. Consider also that President Jonathan unilaterally extended an unsolicited financial largesse to Nollywood. Is it too much, then, to ask government to bail out ITS OWN universities - universities which government itself has admitted neglecting for a long time and which have become a national embarrassment and a laughing stock in global academic circles? Let no one deceive us that government cannot afford it. It certainly can! Is this not the same country where a petroleum minister's children own private jets? Haven't we seen the pictures on the Internet? Is this not the same country that pays its Senate President more than 88 million naira monthly, as reported by The Punch? Is this not the same country where the President receives an annual feeding allowance of roughly a billion naira? Does Nigeria not boast the most expensive national legislature in the entire world? Are many of our governors not richer than some African countries? Do I need to mention names? Have we asked one of our most pugnacious governors in the South-South how much his private refinery is worth? Let's stop blackmailing these lecturers. They are not the cause of Nigeria's downfall; neither are they the bane of our university system. Our corrupt politicians are, and until we hold them to account, Nigeria will still be the butt of coarse jokes all over the civilised world. 2 Likes |
