Tunar18:You must have been reading trash and justifying corruption. All allowances of the president must be legal. There is no constitutional or statutory approval for 2billion per year for food or travel allowance for president! If it is in the budget,it is stealing !! |
ShenTeh: ![]() |
ShenTeh:Stop comparing apples with oranges to justify nonsense. Alamieyeseigha completed his jail term before being pardoned. Moreover,why should bad precedent be the benchmark for a govt with a pivotal "fight" against corruption? |
Angelfrost:Garuba and the Garbages. |
Nonsensical nonsense. |
A major turning point for Buharist like me. Buhari na scam! |
Temi2468:Oga no section of the constitution talks of or approves strike,only peaceful assembly! That is the more reason the No Work No Pay rule as per section 43 of the trade disputes act,is very appropriate and constitutional! |
M1Garand:Correct. But I am defining strike in terms of the constitution. The constitution only guaranties right to peaceful assembly,which may include peaceful protest.The constitution did not even mention protest. Thus if we are to accept peaceful protest as part of peaceful assembly, Strike can never be what the constitution is referring to. The same Wikipedia defines protest: A protest (also called a demonstration, remonstration or remonstrance) is a public expression of objection, disapproval or dissent towards an idea or action, typically a political one.[2][3] Protests can be thought of as acts of cooperation in which numerous people cooperate by attending, and share the potential costs and risks of doing so.[4] Protests can take many different forms, from individual statements to mass demonstrations. Protesters may organize a protest as a way of publicly making their opinions heard in an attempt to influence public opinion or government policy, or they may undertake direct action in an attempt to enact desired changes themselves.[5] Where protests are part of a systematic and peaceful nonviolent campaign to achieve a particular objective, and involve the use of pressure as well as persuasion, they go beyond mere protest and may be better described as a type of protest called civil resistance or nonviolent resistance.[6] |
AniwetaluEmma:Trash. 1million dollars plus the whole of politician's salaries and allowances,including national assembly,cannot pay what the lecturers are asking for. That is assuming lecturers are the only one the FG cater for! That is why renegotiation is inevitable for both parties, which the lecturers rejected. |
Acidosis:You cannot individualise government. Government losses time,money and reputation. |
M1Garand:Moreover, strike is not protest . |
Kilotat:Mr man ,the constitution only guaranties the right to peaceful assembly and not STRIKE! I hope you realise the difference between peaceful assembly (for which we have interestingly included protest) and strike? The constitution can never encourage people to stop work and still collect salary. Strike action is dealt with under the labour law. |
youngstrow:So Tinubu is 90,or he is older than OBJ at 80,abi ? Give us the name of the 59 year old first born. Didirin. |
nkemoma:So once some one starts visiting hospital, he is no longer physically and mentally fit, irrespective of him being discharged by doctors? Can you even guaranty yourself that you will live longer than Tinubu @ 70? Perhaps I should remind you that Many that mocked Buhari's health condition are dead,whilst Buhari is still living and fit! Rubbish talk. |
Mooh247:Which of the achievements and contributions of Tinubu can they deny? |
Xscape1993:You must be blind to see nothing tangible. ![]() |
KaluwisxPRO:A dump person is the one that does not know that the so called agreement dates back to 2009! Stupidity and insanity is when you do the same thing and expect different result. I have tried to prove the reasons why a 13year old agreement has not been and can never be honoured by successive and current governments,without renegotiation. |
yuping:Please read my article again. I pray God gives you the power of understanding. Well let me help you summarise: ASUU should demand for better university infrastructure and good learning and working environment,in addition to better salaries and allowances, earned and unearned. Does that not cover the interest of others,including students? BUT WHY SHOULD ASUU DICTATE THAT CERTAIN SPECIFIC AMOUNTS MUST BE RELEASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CERTAIN VERY STUPID AGREEMENTS OR CERTAIN PAyROLLL SYSTEM MUST BE USED? |
It is high time sane members of the academia and the Nigerian community call ASUU to order,before they co-destroy Nigeria's university system. Yes,Nigerian universities and lecturers deserve better deal,but it is never the mandate of ASUU to dictate to government how much to be given out before they go back to the class room. Let ASSU tell us they are going on strike because they deserve better welfare and working environment plus well funded university system with all required infrastructure. This is 100% legitimate. But it is quite mischievous for ASUU to demand from government ,specified amount of monies(circaN1trillion) for the funding of universities. I also find it very ridiculous and annoying for an academic staff union to dictate to their employer, the type of payroll system to deploy. Has any body cared to dissect why ASUU had been going on strike for almost a century? The reason is simple:Lack of focus and stupid agreements signed under duress. ASUU should focus on their core mandate which is staff welfare and conducive working environment. ASUU can go on strike for better salaries and allowances and lack of infrastructure and good working and learning environment. But I find it very stupid and annoying when ASUU dictate the type of payroll system to be adopted and specific amounts to be provided by govt,before they go back to the classrooms. ASUU should focus on their legitimate mandate and stop forcing government to sign stupid agreements under duress and expect the latter to honour same! A sane person should realise that it is easier for government to honour an agreement that says fund universities well and pay us certain specified amounts as salaries and allowances,than the one that says provide us with a specified amount to fund universities .Employees dictating to employer,how much to fund the organisation!!! When you give government so much to chew by mixing your core mandate with others,how do you expect positive results. Only a stupid government will not sign any stupid agreement under duress,just to ensure students go back to school, after a long period of strike. Moreover agreements are not cast in Stone, they are renegotiable. ASUU should go back to the renegotiation table as offered by government, for a much more SANE agreement.They should also learn to use strike with sense. Protest should be distinguished from strike action. Frequent strikes does not hurt the government, it hurts only the university system! |
Medianna:I pray God gives you the power of understanding. May be I should summarise for you based on the venue issue you just raised: It is not the mandate of ASUU to force govt to provide specific amounts of money to provide lecture venues. But it may be their mandate to force government to provide lecture venues. Let ASUU tell us they are going on strike because there are no conducive class rooms to teach and not that govt must provide certain specified amount of money to provide conducive classrooms!!! |
backnbeta:Is it the mandate of ASUU,an academic union,employees of govt,to determine how much is needed to fix the universities and the type of payroll to use? Rubbish. The earlier ASUU concentrate on their core mandate of staff welfare,the better for the university system. If ASUU is going on strike because they need 1000% increase in salary plus other welfare packages,like what you mentioned,that would be very much in order. |
Medianna:They should focus on these and let us know it is because of salaries and allowances. They should stop deceiving the public and insisting that certain amount of money (Ntrillion) must be given to fund universities. The ASUU president categorically stated that without giving out the Ntrillion,plus other signed agreements,they are not going back to work. They should stop mixing other issues that is not their core mandate,with what really concerns them and forcing government to sign very stupid agreements. How do you expect govt to sign agreements signed under duress and expect the government to honour the same agreement ![]() Only a stupid government will not sign any stupid agreement that will make students go back to school after a long period. That is why ASUU will continue to go on strike. |
BabaO2:Good. I ask again, why should academic staff union go on strike because of infrastructural decay and the type of payroll system used by government, their employer ?Only an insane person would not appreciate the reasons why the problem persists for almost a century. The main reason is that ASUU keep on mischievously adding issues that are not their core mandate,to the issues of staff welfare which is their core mandate.They now use strike to force government sign very stupid agreements. Is it the mandate of an academic union to determine that Ntrillion is needed to fund Nigerian universities? Or a particular payroll system must be used? |
Medianna:He probably knows more than you. ASUU is a union of academic staff, therefore have no business forcing government to use a particular payroll system or spend particularly amount of money to fund universities. Their core mandate is the welfare of their members. Can NLC force government to spend a particular amount of money to fund say the petroleum ,electricity or health sector or infrastructure?? Labour union can only force the government on issues relating to minimum wage and other welfare matters. |
Omihanifa:The solution will come when ASUU stops using strike to force the government sign stupid agreements that are not realistic. Why should ASUU be the one to determine how much is needed to fund universities? They need Ntrillion to fund universities,where on planet earth do employees determine how much employers must spend to fund their organization ?It is obvious our universities need revolutionary uplift,but that can never be the core responsibility of academic staff. ASUU should concentrate on improving on staff welfare and should stop all these rubbish they are doing. How can an employee be forcing his employer to adopt a particular payroll system and spend a particular amount of money to fund universities?? ![]() |
Picture of the thief,I want to confirm something ![]() |

wirinet:It is always good to consider common sense before vomiting rubbish comments. Elective offices have constitutionally specified and guaranteed tenor, unlike political appointments ,that do not require any legal stress to appoint or hire anybody. Does it make sense to you for all governors and legislators to resign now because of 2023 elections? If a governor or legislator resigns, who takes over? Indeed,common sense is not common ![]() |
Emmanuel950:Another great advice! |
ololufemi:Great advice. |
femicyrus:Correct |
