Great News...I hate strike. My sister is part of ASUU, and I still think it was dumb to go on strike. Teachers just got new contract here after 3 yrs of no contract. We dare not strike. In a sane country, education is so critical, you go through the channels and courts if needed, but strike is off the table.

Where would parents keep the kids in primary and secondary schools here? How will it affect their jobs and so on? Higher Education should just be privatized or Semi-Private. Govt has no business in higher education as it is the norm in most normal nations even the Arab Nations where they have money to spend and waste. We call them Public Charter...you hire on merit, fire on merit, promote on merit and pay on merit. Clearly ASUU is not working for Nigeria and Nigerians. I am pro-Union, but they do way way too much to destroy the country. Go on 1-day strike or 1-week max to prove your point, but no more.

Strike is bad but other avenues in Nigeria including the courts have become too politicised!
In the court, ASUU tendered 4 consecutive letters written to the govt reminding them of the signed agreement they failed to keep without any explanation, even the govt did not reply those letters let alone given reasons why ASUU should soft-pedal, only media showcasing! The court ruled against ASUU in that aspect, though they agreed that ASUU be paid through any means they want, must not be IPPIS, one of the main reasons they went for strike!
The situation is not suitable for both ASUU and FG. The inclinations in UTAS will cover for the 8 months in less than a year and the gains continue....., a situation the government won't want. It will all end in a CBA (Collective Bargain Agreement).

Yourprick:
u didn't work for 8 months and you want pay lol

The court also agreed that ASUU be paid through any means they want, must not be IPPIS, one of the main reasons they went for strike! UTAS is here to stay bro!

Anyway that's by the way, I am neither a lecturer not ASUU member!

COMPAQ:
Then maybe minimum wage should be the issue that you face.

Minimum wage is just an example, there are many other ways the government is obligated to them bro!

IfnobeGod20:
One thing about some of you is you support what ought not to be supported, I don't know, whether because of ignorance or self deceit or blind support. Should inadequacy of government be heap on the masses always? Government always throw their burden on the masses on the premise of being clever just by half. Even the blind and deaf knows that the amount of fuel claimed to be consuming daily by Nigerians is false, which they collect subsidy on. Please what stops the government monitoring that one first and punishing those riping the country wealth? No way we would not go from fry pan into fire because the corruption is so endemic that if not checked, we may later buy fuel at #1,000 per liter and you know what that means, ripple effect. Prices of goods and services will skyrocket and inflation will be all time high.
Secondly, why is it so difficult to fix our refineries for years? Government yearly play lip service to revamping of the refineries and shift their burden to the downtrodden for no reason. If the countries they are taking our crude oil to don't make their refineries work, would they take product to go and refine there? There's need for government to do first thing first than dancing around their failures. We need to tell ourselves the gospel truth, the economy is not smiling at all. People are carrying enough burden, that to eat is a serious thing, now a government just inaugurated inflict another round on the already saturated poverty. Let us see what will happen in the next few days.
I am surprise that people are giving backing to this kind of thing without recourse to the impulse of the downtrodden and how they would survive. Make the refineries work and the issue of subsidy will automatically fizzle out. This is just the common sense. They should strive to make all our refineries work and also encourage modular refineries to be licensed for proper monitoring to ease the burden of crude oil refine. This is not rocket science. Eje ka fo te si le, ka ye pa lapa lapa. No shortcuts to truth in the journey to freedom of the masses.

You spoke wisdom bro, forget these senseless sycophants.
Many might not even read and understand properly, the points you are making above!
This is not a question of political affiliation or lip service, this is masses vs the government!!

LikeAking:
Funny man.

Dollar value in Saudi and Nigeria is not the same.

Guy let's be critical white government polices..

Don't let these old men device you.

Even at that bro, going by the official CBN rate the price of fuel in Saudi should be around 287-288 naira with a minimum wage of more than 500,000 naira, what is our minimum wage here?

Nemesis0147:
This Tony has a funny aura that surrounds him!!
He seems like a cunning man and someone that like doing eye service….I doubt if he is an easy going person as he wants us to believe….always trying to prove that he is friendly on social medias.

Considering what he did to Otedola (according his claims), what you said might be totally correct!!

lapintoz:
Obi diots dey collect wotowoto....

We tell una....stop hate....una no dey hear word.

You better accept your fate.

Bro, is it Obi or labour that instituted the case an initial

[quote author=wwwkaycom post=123376100]Atiku and PDP wanted to reap where they didn't sow. I laugh at their followers and leaders who were gallivanting around yesterday. I remember David Bwala, the biggest loser in 2023 trying to raise the hope of his PeeDeePigs followers, all ended in vain. Let us be fair in analysing the issue at stake, who is that politician who pursued the 2023 presidential race with all his strength and seriousness required like Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. Atiku was relying on



hacking of INEC porter, Aso Rock Cabal and block votes from the north while Peter Obi believed in ethnic and religious sentiments, thinking that CAN, YesDaddies, Enenches, Mama Sarah Omakpi who wanted to waste her vote and indeed wasted it, fake prophets, angry IPOB miscreants, #ENDSARS yahoo boys and fake online polsters can win election for him. Asiwaju meticulously travelled through the lenght and breadth of the country, meeting people, building bridges, meeting leaders of religious organisations, traditional leaders, political leaders, professional people, students, artisans, market men and women, farmers and a host of others. I think it should be reinforced again and again that elections are not won by stupid scheming, sentiments or on the social media. I think Peter Obi especially should find time to learn that noise, insults, lies, instigations etc will not win election anywhere, cheers.

Congratulations to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR[/quote]PDP instituted a case and you are having sleepless night over Labour party and putting Peter Obi's picture.
Are you really okay?
Besides, the attention you guys give makes labour party even more popular!!

Borno will join the south southern and south eastern states as oil producing state!

When we say there is oil in the North, some people will argue otherwise!

Davido is very social and easily links up

Final exercise of state powers!
El rufai is on a revenge mission.
He will demolish them and flaunt any court order that will attempt stopping him!

EnEnPeecee:
This head-slamming idiot always want relevance at all cost.
Osinbajo is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria

How's Osinbajo the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria, If I may ask

zoedew:
Only the record of proceedings can show how it went.

Call a spade, a spade!
Record of proceedings for endless adjournments? Seems you just entered Nigeria newly Or not vast enough to know how corrupt this nation functions!
Ask Ffk's wife (with a strong case) what she saw that made her leave the case and run away! With all her garagara?
Abeg forget Nigeria my dear!

ChukwuObe:
I love the part where he cursed the person that removed his cap after all they call him Babalawo. When you see some young people dying unsung, think before you pity them. I have no pity to those unruly children of Belial

Bro he's not God and will never be.
He should thank God for growing old instead of wishing the young chap never to grow old!

Respect is reciprocal Oga
Don't reap where you did not sow!!

darkwan:
nepotism...can you eat it....??
does it taste nice....??

Was thinking I can have a good conversation with a reasonable adult, never knew you're one of those "imbecilic kids" we have here!
Mtcheww, thank you for wasting my time.
Bye, "leader of tomorrow"!

zoedew:
Speaking seriously, was the deceased in a position to properly care for the children of the marriage? Certainly not. It is the interest of the child that matters in a typical child custody case. A life without Christ is bound to end in crisis.

Certainly not. Why?
They divorced in 2019 and he fell sick less than a year ago!
He sold 2 of his 3 SUVs same last year and use the proceeds for his health and further business!
Between 2019 and 2022 why can't he take custody or even set his eyes on his children?
Maybe you didn't get the full gist!
Even when custody is awarded against
you, you still have the full right to see your children at intervals!!
She uses her money and buys time, or even buys judgement, that's the implication of my comment.
For four years now, the court is still adjourning the case and can't even grant an interim injunction for you to at least see your children while the case is going on.
It is quite bad my dear!

quinox947:
Rubbish! While he was alive, what did all these useless producers do to salvage the situation? Now they have turned to remember him after he had died.

I guess you didn't read where he complained of the man being too secretive that he didn't even invite them to his wedding, let alone telling them what happens in the home.
He told the stories after they broke up.

The US is good at international politics, they align with whomever is moving forward except they have a vested interest.
They will even prefer Tinubu to Peter Obi, you know why?
Our loss, their gain!
Our gain, their loss!
We stop being too dependent on them and call their bluffs.

Typical Tinubu could have preferred Joe Biden himself to call, considering his pre-election colloquial utterances, like saying. "it will be a disgrace mentioning his name with a secretary of state"!

darkwan:
you are igbo....

If being Igbo is all you understood from the write-up, then you are riddled with nepotism!
Yes, I am a full-blooded Igbo who rooted for Obasanjo in 2003, Buhari in 2015 (but not in 2019), and Osinbajo in the APC primaries (I have come in contact with him and he's sound and kind-hearted).
If we are serious the 2023 contest should be squarely between Osinbajo and Peter Obi.
I went for Peter Obi in the election because if Nigeria is my company, I did rather have him as the manager than the other two contenders. The only Nigerian I lose sleep about his capacity is Akinwumi Adeshina.
Tinubu is no doubt intelligent but both his physical and mental health are frail, I think he should give way to younger ones.
My brother got the APC senatorial ticket with Tinubu's influence, which he later lost in the main election.
See, we are more APC than many people that rant here but I could have preferred someone stronger and better than Tinubu!

darkwan:
thats the kick in your black butts you need to let go....

Let go by first of all electing good leaders (your duty as a citizen), transforming your educational system, health and economy!
Do the above and others and naturally you stop being dependent on them!
Just google our annual health and educational spending abroad, or the amount we owe the west due to bad economy, then you know why they feel like our boss!
We don't get rid of them with our words of mouth or motivational talk but by doing the right things!
Many that criticize America here do beg to be given interview dates, let alone travelling to the country!
What is the difference between us and them?
They got the important sectors working while we are here looting, shrouded by religion, nepotism and tribalistic tendencies!
They care more about competence while we care more about the things I bolded above!

LeoDeKing:
I stand with FFK

Think before you speak bro!
Can you guys actually trigger a diplomatic war with the US and remain the same?
America and their European allies will turn Nigeria upside down.
Where will your President-elect rush for medical health

Maybe Nigeria should ban all Americans and America should ban all Nigerians, they should also trigger their allies to ban Nigerians, let's see where you lots will rush to when your health fails, school, vacation or when Nigeria becomes too hot!
"Trigger the diplomatic tension bro", insensible being!
Have problem with America and let the whole of Europe follow suit, and bunch of other countries!
The President-elect is still resting in one of America's allies!
Do you know how much Nigeria is owing other countries and organisations controlled by the US?
Do you know the amount of help US renders to Nigeria annually
Mtcheww

kelvincoll:
That is the real caught red handed. However unpatriotic for a senior official at this time of the country's challenges

In my Naija, we ld be hearing law technicalities that gives ours an escape.

People will come here to defend him if it's in Naija, they will turn the story upside down and change the narrative, the uninformed will eventually be deceived!

Dialpad:
This boy would have been instantly killed if he tried that with a US police officer.

What the hell was going on in his mind

Nigerians always quick to compare with USA when it favours them.
A US police officer won't act like a Nigerian police officer, so the slap will be unwarranted!
Does the slap equate to the amount of torture they dish out to innocent civilians on daily basis?
Please take it easy on the comparison, just like comparing how much they sell a litre of fuel in the US without comparing their minimum wage and other economic realities!!
NPF is one of our major problems in this country!
NB: I don't support slapping an officer under any guise, but sometimes you even feel like doing more.

yeyebrity:
Hmnn... we all loved St Obi, but I don't think it's right at this time to apportion blames. If he was prevented from seeing his children, then it's because he was too soft to insist. The St Obi I saw on screen had a pleasant aura, charm and charisma that would make almost any woman do whatever he wanted. And no, it wasn't about the character he protrayed but his general mien. He just had it even if he played a bad boy role.

He wasn't the first to marry a financially fulfilled woman, so what's the fuss about? In my opinion, being denied access to his children had nothing to do with the status of his ex wife, but the fact that something deeper may have happened between them, and the woman was just trying to be mean. Like I said earlier, he should have tried to get a court injunction in that regards. Instead, he choose to wallow in his misery. I am positive that his health took a toll on him because he couldn't even afford to take care of himself.

The dude subtly suggested that St Obi abandoned his friends because he felt he had hit the jackpot by getting married to a supposedly rich woman (I wouldn't consider someone who earns between 5 and 10 Million naira monthly rich though). And to all those who suddenly abandon their friends after getting married, y'all should learn a lesson or two from this. Perhaps, if he had still kept in touch with his old pals, they could have tried to get him back on his feet. I hope he finds rest wherever he is now.

To battle for child custody in Nigerian courts, especially with a financially buoyant wife is not easy at all, even with a financially buoyant man is not easy, let alone a woman that will claim you can't take care of the children!
Don't you think his ex-wife (in her "so-called" exalted position) will fight to finish, anything that might undermine her integrity?
And I won't understand the basis of a woman of such pedigree, letting her brothers scale the fence to come and beat her husband?
What insolence

N3TRAL:
Peter Okoye, my favourite, the defense of threat to life doesn't suffice because even a child can string the pieces of the event together based on the short video clip of Seun Kuti assaulting a commissioned officer of the law.

It doesn't add up that a man with a gun threatened your life and you point fingers at him, insult him and slap him.
What's more life threatening than slapping a very calm policeman?

In the US, Seun's body would have been riddled bullets.

The policeman must get compensation through civil litigation after the criminal case instituted by the State sends Seun to prison.

You can't come out of your AC chilled Mercedes and assault a public servant labouring day and night under the sun and in the rain to feed his wife and babies without dire consequences.

You did not read where he said emotions gets better of us when in certain situations, I totally agree with him because one can act under reflex!

Litmus:
South Africa, giant of Africa? Lol. Looks like you're unaware how sly Africans are except Nigeria that is plain and open. Don't be surprised if privately behind the scenes, South Africa is on her knees pleading with America, while publicly mouthy. Nigeria inadvertently humiliated America by stepping into Liberia when America was prevaricating over what to do. It is arguable that the terrorism Nigeria faces today is the result of that affair. Cross America, as an African state, expect distablity. Nations in Africa know the score. Nigeria is an immensely brave Nation.

You may not be wrong on this, they knew something about the terrorism in Nigeria.
Our economy and mismanagement is actually shaming us, if not, we call their bluff and move ahead. They have made us so dependent!!

shonepa:
if you knew the contribution Russia made to liberate south africa; including training their military and giving them weapons to protect them selved. One gud term deserves another.

Wetin uk do for Nigeria again?

Uk is too selfish bro, they are part of what is happening to us today!

SA is the real giant of Africa but they should stay away from the Russia/US rift to avoid a repetition of what is happening in Ukraine.
Nigeria should also support Russia with "juju" or "prophecies" since that's what we know how to do best!
OR Mc Olumo can help with his gang!!

God save America, many over there are becoming psychotic!

Many others should join this list soon!
