MrRomantic1: ASUU VOWS NAT2 CALL OF STRIKE side 1

The union accused the Federal Government of divide and rule by trying to buy the Committee of Pro-Chancellors and Committee of Vice Chancellors with the recent release of another N30 billion, saying such policy would not divide them.

Coordinator of ASUU in the zone, Sunny Ighalo, insisted that until government adhered strictly to the agreement earlier reached by both parties, the lecturers will not return to the classroom.

“The ASUU has been on a nationwide total and indefinite strike to express its frustration over the continuing reluctance of government to fully implement vital aspects of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement as captured by the MoU of January 2012.

“This struggle, which has now entered its ninth week, is driven by the unshakable resolve of our members to stem the continuing trend with successive governments of Nigeria, to systematically destroy public education through neglect and near total abandonment.
Wen all is sed n done,d money given by federal wil mak individuals rich,rather dan d Educatnal system.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE DAY 6
Wow! It ws d start of a brand new week.
It ws monday morning.
In d previous week,I had conquerd wat we reffered to as .."D battle of auditorium"
D monday morning ws temperate,I took my bath hastingly n got 2 skul,by 7am.
I went straight 2 my faculty,n while in d shuttle I cud c students standin in d auditorium lik a swam of bees.I smiled cuz I new wat was up.
I got 2 my faculty,flanked on d left by Educatn n facin it was d road 2 ekosodin gate.
I got der n tried 2 find d place 2 do d faculty clearance.It dint take long as I saw a bunch of students around a door,den I knew I ws der.
I quickly devised a means by sharin numbas 2 evry1 der n signin behind so it cnt be duplicated.
I ws numba 38.It ws a sign dat less dan 100 had cleared in d faculty.
Now we wer told dat dos clearin us wil arrive by 10am.It ws abt 8.00,it ws early,I decided 2 visit d auditorium 2 c wats hapenin n perhaps meet som NL peeps.
D tempo in d auditorium ws tense, some girls wer crying,som wer soaked in their sweat,tins cudnt get worse.
Som had achieved little success since monday of d previous week,som jst arrivd 4rm Abj,som jst cam back 4rm their states n som jst startd clearance dat day.Boy! They had no idea wat ws ahead of dem.
I cud c d bank 4rm der,n a queue cudnt get longer dan d one I saw in d bank.
.
.
Art students wer forced 2 bcum soldiers as they formd little brutal queues in d auditorium wer dey compressed each oda lik sardins.
Pple pass betwn normal queues,bt in dis one,even an ant wil hv 2 go around.
I cud c som boys cashing in on d opportunity 2 romance d gurls whose back they wer standin.
.
It ws nt any easier 4 d Engineerin students as many passd true turbulances b4 getin cleared.
I had already done my GST registratn n
It ws nw almost 10am n I decided 2 go back.Abt 20 mins b4 10am,i got back n met abt 70peepz in queue,most of whom jst got cleard dat day.
Fortunately 4 me,my numbas stil stood as som1 helped manage it wen i left.Hence,i ws stil num 38.
Even b4 10am,dos clearin arrivd n kickd off immediately.
We wer confused as to how much it wil be,a frnd of mine who did faculty clearance in Medical sci sed dey paid 9,700.So I ws expectin 2 pay smtin close.Bt I ws surprisd 2 knw dat we r 2 pay jst 1,000.
.
D Faculty clearance,tut 2 be a lot easier becam a tog of war as dos who cam late tried to undermine d authenticity of d numbas.
Howeva,dey failed.N abt 1pm,it ws my turn.I entered,droped one of my remainin 2 files.I ws given d faculty prospectus,n a receipt.It was dat easy.
I left 4 d departmnt stage.
I got der,n der wer only 5 who wer der b4 me....I submitted d last file,wrote my name in som places n was done. It was jst 3pm n I had finishd.I ws more dan hapi.
All tru,i tried 2 kip a hapi luk n maintain my cool. I neva told any1 it ws stressful.I always sed it ws amazing.If u noticed,i neva used d word..."stress" until now.
D Major Clearance 4 me came 2 an end on 13th november.It took a lot longer 4 odas n 4 some,it ended jst few days b4 exam.
Howeva,d clearance ws nt all....der wer oda tins 2 stil handle like course registratn,payment of dews,collectn of Dpmt,faculty n skul I.dcards as well as dpmt,faculty n John Harris library i.d cards.Health clearance ws still der, Biometrics registratn,E-security registratn n many odas.
.
.
WATCH OUT how dey all went on Season 7.

#Mickey4AttorneyGeneral smiley

hehe...make I go sleep..the more I say I go serious the next day, the more playful I become..sote nowadys, no difference btw 12pm & 12am...my sleep hours dey short everyday.


Ehnn...Meta, I so much enjoy your use of simile, you always go far-fetch...n thats why I call you 'Metaphysical'...Thanks for everything Sir..well appreciated.


But got a few questions...tho' not pertaining clearance ish but answers from you or any well informed individual would do alot of good.


From your own perception, like how many students do you think are admitted into each department?

I hear courses like law/Medicine isn't really up to 100?

How about courses like Anatomy,Botany, Nursing, production engineering..the educational courses...just courses of such.

Just a rough guess would do Sir..please..

&Thanks in advance smiley


This is where I take my bow, it's been a lovely day..

Goodnight & God bless smiley







no doubt I'd come back later on n findout Adex made his posts around 3am...Night crawlers undecided

night y'all *exeunts*
I take lectures wit law atimes, They'l be around 100 or more.
Generally,sos sci dptmnts hv more "admittees"
Im my dpmnt,it ws abt 160 peeps...Bt afta d clearance,d drifting n various turbulances dft pple met,Only 125 wrote 1st semestre exam.
D story z pretty much d same wit oda sos sci courses like Ecostat,Sociology,social work except Geography wer only 100 wer admitted.
.
.
Generally, Medical students hv way fewer admittees.
Lst yr,abt 30 wer admitted in physiology n anatomy respectvly...
I dnt knw abt medicince,bt d college of Medicine luv 2 kip d numbers few.
.
.
Educatn has 6 major departmnts under it e.g Esam,ECPS etc,each havin smaller units wic cud numba as low as 7 students.
Bt unda edu,"ESAM" hs d highest populatn,well ova 100.
..
Wen I checked 100 lvl pharmacy results,They wer 125 in numba.
.
Engineering z highly populated n filled wit boys....In some hostels,dey call dem "gays" cuz of deir male society.
.
.
Life sci n Agric admit faily high populatn too.

On a whole,Basic Medical sci hv d lowest admittees.
D whole faculty of 5 dptments may nt be up 2 som department's populatn.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE DAY 5
It was Friday,9th of november
I had spent 4 days tryin 2 get cleared.
Today, I ws ready 2 lift auditorium up n down if i dnt get cleard.
I had woken up early,I wanted 2 get der very early,2 at least clear my suspicion dat som peepz sleep in d auditorium.
I got 2 skul as early as i cud.It ws stil dark,d auditorium gate was locked,I met jst a handful of pple(abj 20),I ws indeed early dis time.
Later,d gate ws opend n we entered d compound.We waited 4 som time cuz d entrance doors 2 d auditorium wer locked....dis time,pple startd getin more n more. Later,dey opend d entrance n pple startd running inside in a stampede inorder 2 get a sit.
I did follow d crowd,n I got a sit.
It ws a good Omen.
D next tin was 2 wait 4 d clearing officers to arrive.
Afta abt half an hour,they came.
Dey set up their desk n startd callin numbas...Bt she sed she'l call me 1st, I sed 2 a gurl by my side in disbelief.
Is it a bad tin 2 get admitted again? I tut.
It occurd 2 dat 2day,might end lik ystday.
Bt wen I tut I wudnt be cleared,I heared my surname.
I cnt rili describe d feelin,bt it ws lik gettin baptized by John himself.
I ran off my sit,as dos wit numbas stared at me,wonderin y I ws called instead.
Wen I got 2 d desk,evrytin happnd fast n I signd all d signables.
Wen dey wer abt printing my Eligibility slip,d printer developed a fault.N I sed 2 myself,who z d witch tryin 2 hinder my clearance?
Bt it dint tak 5mins n it ws fixed,my "Eligibility slip" ws printed out.I signed on it n ws told 2 make som photocopies n return two back to d desk.
I ran faster dan Bolt 2 mak d photocopies,as i ran,i ws smiling.D feelin ws d same as wen I saw "Admitted" on Kofa.
I brut d photocopies n gave them,as they kept singing,"Keep ur original Eligibility,dnt misplace it,u need it to graduate.
I had already submitted 2 files to them,wit 2 left wit me 4 faculty n dpmnt.I HAD NW CLEARED by Mr Okpokunu.
It ws stil early, abt 10am.
U'l tink dat's d end,bt d next ws faculty clearance.I jst finishd d auditorium stage.
Bt my faculty sed they'l start clearance d followin monday,I ws no longer laggin behind I ws back on track.
Bt had no idea wat d faculty clearance held 4 me.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE DAY 4
It ws a butiful thursday mrning,I had woken up late.
I took my papers wit d wizard guarntor's letter.
I scrutinisd my papers ova n ova again so dat wat hapnd ystday wnt repeat itself.
I got 2 skul by 8.pm.Obviously,I ws late.It ws lik getin 2 Church wen dey wer givin announcement.
I kinda came late knwingly,cuz d officer had tld me 2 cum d followin day wit my complete papers.
So I wsnt scared.I jst tut I'l meet her n get it done.Boy! I ws wrong.
I cam 2 her n tld her I ws here wit d papers,bt she dint even act lik she had seen me b4.All dey sed ws "go n wait behind".
I came 2 d realisatn dat 2day wud be anoda long day.
Ofcourse der ws nowher 2 sit.I waited standing.Den later,I noticed dey wer callin pple wit numbers n nt in their names.
I tried 2 find out y n realised dat d previous day,d clearin officers gav numbers 2 d students b4 dey left,sayin dey wil attend to those wit numbers first b4 anyone else.
Dang! I had left earlier dan d officers d previous day cuz of d guarantor ish.
Now i did nt hv a number,d persons numbered wer ova 100 n it tuk ova 5 mins 2 attend 2 a person.
Wen I ws askd several times,"wat's ur number?" i'l say i dnt hv any n wen i ask dem dey'l proudly tell me deirs.
I,who ws once close,ws standin,havin no numba,n hence,no hope of getin cleard 2day.
I nw knew it ws my duggedness,ingenuity n sagacity dat wil determine today's outcome.
Dos who hv jst been cleared wer lurking around.They wer raising deir shoulders n draggin deir feet as though dey wer graduates.
Dey wer forming,n of a truth,it ws worth forming for.
Nw I had seen ova 30 nairaland fwndz one way or d oda.
It's nw past 1pm & numba 15 ws yet 2 be called.Tempers wer flarin n it tuk security 2 bring dem down.
I was furious dat I hadnt done anytin,I tried all ways 2 jst get attention from d officers,bt all ended in a roadblock.
D tin is...evry1 wnted 2 get cleard as muc as I did.
It ws lik a thousand pple tryin 2 run out of a tiny door,no one letin d oda go 1st.
1pm turned to 2pm n 2pm turned to 3pm. I ws der,stil waitin 4 smtin 2 happen.Bt now,at least I had a sit.
I waited again til abt 4.30 wen dey wer abt to close.
I knew 2day's clearin hope ws ova,bt I wasnt leavin witout getin a numba.
Wow! Dey cudn't finish d previous numba dey gav n decided nt 2 giv any 2day so dey'l finish up d one dey had b4.(note dat som of dese pple wit numbas wer in d teller stage,som bursary,som file n few wer in d clearin stage wic I ws)
Nw dey hv decided 2 giv no numba,nw wat wil i do i tut.Dis clearance z nt goin 2 next week,i assured myself boldly.
Wen dey wer abt leaving,i went 2 d front n tried 2 beg wit an innocent face n den she searched out my papers n sed i sud com d followin day,dat she'l call me b4 callin dos wit numbas.De ja vu.
Dat ws wat she sed d day b4,n she left me hanging.
D day ws already gone,I had no choice bt 2 hang on 2 wat she sed,at least to keep hope alive.
Home I went 2 prepare 4 d followin day.cuz 2day,ntin was achieved.
.

I'm about to swear an affidavit of declaration of age......so I'm asking from ur experience, which of d years(1992 or 1993) should I use in swearing for an affidavit, dat wouldn't cause a problem 4 me during the clearance process?
Ur actual Dob.
If both r fake,mak affidavits of both so dat wen u get der,based on wat u c happening ur instinct wil tel u wic to stick to.
D info u hv in Jamb hs already gone 2 ur faculty n department.They r already on all papers concerning u.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE DAY 3
It's wednesday mrning,
I mst be very early 2day I tut,so I cn get dis ova wit once n 4 all.
I woke up n prepared as early as I cud n left 4 skul.
I got 2 d bursary,it stood at d south west of d auditorium,n south east of d bank,i.e btwn d auditorium n bank..Despite how early I ws,there was already a list of names n it appeared 192 peeps cam b4 me.Jeez! Did dey sleep here?!!
I had 2 stay on queue b4 I cud even write my name on d list,only 4 dos issuing d receipt 2 com n render it obsolete.Afterall,it ws organisd by freshers demselves.
We wer told 2 go behind d buildin 2 form queues accordin 2 our faculties to transform our tellers.
It ws now obvious dat d nickname 4 d clearance was "queue".
Now I had already made an analysis abt d clearance procedure,typed n pasted in on d walls 2 help those jst startin.
.
Freshers wer nw on difrnt levels.
Dos who had nt started at all wer viewed as not beign ready.Freshers nw respected each oda accordin 2 d stage dey wer in clearance.
More dan trice,I ws asked,"wat stage r u?" n I wud proudly reply, "grin bursary stage"it was a prestige.
Now, I ws num 10 in d queue,I ws so hapi cuz I'v neva been so close on d start b4.Little did I knw it'l tak ova 3 hours 2 attend 2 me.
It's all gud anyway,in queues b4,we received first hand scorching 4rm d sun bt in d bursary der wer enuf trees 2 shade us.
It ws nw 11 am, i took d receipt 2 my clearin dest n I ws given four files 2 fill in my info elaborately.
U'l tink dis ws easy,bt d files wer huge n som consider it d most dificlt part.
I placed a passport n one bundle of my six difrnt photocopies on each file.I hv nw used 5 bundles of my 6 photocopies,remainin 1.
Afta filling d file in wat seemed like copyin a full newspaper,I finishd n had 2 staple my documents wit each file.
Getin a stapler isnt usuali a problem,bt 2day it ws.D clearin officers wnt let me use theirs,their face lookd lik those who wer jst attacked by bees.They wer as tired as we were.
After searchin tirelessly,a worker outside offerd 2 staple it 4 me each costing 50naira.
I laughed as tho it ws a joke n den she looked at me n said "r u stapling it or not"den I knew she ws no basket mouth.Hence I agreed.
I took my books 2 d desk,along side dose who had becom my friend in d course of d clearin process.
We wer frndz cuz we wer in d same stage,no one made frndz wit dose in a stage lower than theirs.We wer in d file stage,n we wer proud of it.
They told us 2 go back n wait....til our name ws called.Nt d name callin stuff again, i tut.D journey 2 anoda eternity began n we started waiting.
While waiting,I cud c Art students standin n sweatin,I had pity 4 dem dat dey had no sit.Of a truth,art students suffered d most.
I cud c pple getin attended to expressly,bt dint mind,we r in Nigeria.
I had waited 4 ova an hour n my name hsnt been called.It's nw past 1pm.I helped som peeps in their grey areas,som had nt done anytin since monday.
Now I cud hear dat a very few amount of peeps had been cleared.I ws all d more eager 2 get cleard,I ws nt d only 1,many odas had vowed 2 get cleared 2day n hv tried dft tricks n means.
I came 2 d desk 2 press my positn...n d GET OUT!! I heard,oh boy! no 1 hv shouted at me dat way b4.I cud c d eyes of many students gazing at me as shame drew down my spine.
Nevadless i tried many ways,bt dint knw who wer worse,d man O war tryin 2 maintain order or d clearing officers.All my efforts wer 2 no avail n i went back 2 sit.A sit I protected like an embassy.
I had waited 4 more dan 2hrs n finally i ws called exactly 4.10pm...d officers had overstayed.
Afta 4 peeps in front of me had cleared,it ws my turn.
It's done finally I said 2 myself.
Jst wen I tut I had cleared,my guarantor's leta ws nowhere 2 be found in my papers.
So heartbreaking...i searched n searchd but no way.
I ws told 2 go n get it n com d followin day.it ws late,dat day ws gone.
I ws bitter.Howeva,many had been sent 2 deir states n som sent 2 Jamb office in Abuja 2 mak som correctns.
It ws so close,i wud hv been d 2nd 2 get cleard in my dpmnt.bt it ws nt so.
Home,I went 2 prepare 4 d next day...n holy cow! All my guarantor's lettas wer on my bed.

WATCH OUT FOR DAY 4
