Orlando Owoh: You may "go and die."

texazzpete: You 'admire the patience of the President'?
Can someone PLEASE inform this insincere clown that this is a democracy?! The President's patience has nothing to do with anything here.
Nigerians are the ones to be commended for tolerating many of the anti-people agenda of the FG.



Why would ASUU call off the strike in the meeting with the President without consulting with the wider body of ASUU? You seem clueless about this system. This is not a gathering of low lifes you can tempt with a brown envelope. The people who met with the President aren't impressed by the glamour of Aso Rock. These are highly educated people we're talking about. You think a meeting with the President was enough to make them call it off there and then?

They want the MOU signed by the Attorney General of the Federation without delay. This is an easy, no-brainer solution. The last time they signed an agreement, the FG went around claiming it was not signed by a permanent secretary. The Senate President claimed the head of the FG negotiation team was not of sound mind.

In short, by casting doubts about the signatories of the 2009 negotiation, the FG brought this stubborn insistence of ASUU for ratification at the highest levels upon themselves. Even a 10 year old can see this. I know you're intelligent enough to see this, so I will conclude (not for the first time) that you have been paid sums of money to propagate this disgraceful opinions on Nairaland.




It's not about paying 200bn Naira in 2013. ASUU needs the assurance that 200bn will be paid in 2014 too, and 2015, and 2016 as agreed. We need that assurance. Failure of the FG to implement this is highly suspicious.




What the heck is this shyte?! Does this deserve a cookie? Sane minds are wondering why it took him 4 months to personally intervene. He had no reason himself to sit at the meeting. There is an education minister who GEJ should have been supervising to do this work. In any sane climate, the Education minister should have been relieved of his job months ago.
Bottom line is, GEJ found more use out of the Education minister in battling Amaechi than to actually solve the ASUU strike.





The funds in question are OWED allowances. Owing ASUU already is a form of Governmental theft. Does the FG require cookies for the rare occasion when they do the right thing?




It is called a 'negotiation'. When you are 'negotiating', you keep putting forward offers until a compromise is reached. Have the bundles of N1000 notes put in your pockets clouded your command of the English language?

For all intents and purposes, ASUU has accepted the last compromise offer by the FG. All they require is proper and bulletproof ratification and a signed and sealed pledge that the brave lecturers who have now obtained significant funding for our Universities will not be victimized for this. They should be lauded as heroes, but that is a separate discussion entirely.



I know many on Nairaland are young people, but anyone who is 30 and above here will remember that every single President we've had for well over 2 decades has had to content with ASUU strikes. Abacha, babangida, Obasanjo, Yar'Adua...I'm not sure why you're trying to revise history.
Perhaps this is a clear indication that crisp naira notes can cloud the memory?




Can you STOP this nauseating tribal politics here?


PS: Thank God you can never accuse ME of being one of the 'Tinubu dogs' or 'APC sympathizers' as you like to babble on about. I am on record here when I've seriously lambasted the likes of Fashola and Tinubu multiple times. Unlike you, I am a patriot.

Orlando Owoh: This is where most of you get it wrong. Yes, FG and ASUU don't lose anything, but the students. Has it occurred to you that it is the students that will benefit more in the long run? Facilities will be upgraded.

Bobandgreat: Yoruba Christians are naturally tolerant but handicapped as well because of their relatives who are Muslims. This is understandable, but they have to realise that these Muslims will not be as tolerant as they are if the table is turned and they can always support it with their Quran. See it this way, to a christian, Family is everything but to a Muslim, religion is everything. This is so because Christianity is a way of life and not necessarily a religion while Islam is a hard core religion that can be manipulated by their leaders.
Hence, a Muslim can easily abandon his family if it serves his religion while a christian will see any religion that tells him to abandon his family as false, rather he will continue to pray for his family to change. These people are ur family quite alright, but their allegiance and complete Loyalty lye with their religion and decisions of their religious leaders.
You Christians are second fiddle where people of thesame faith with them are concerned. If u like be their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, neices, nephews, friends, etc, once u cross lines with their religious leaders or colleagues, u seize to be relevant.
I urge u Yoruba Christians to be that daring so that everybody would know when not to cross a line. You are better than these Muslims, why should they be lording their religion all over u people. What has Hijab got to do in a Christian school. If u can not respect the school uniform, then go to an Islamic school.

sahedorf: I guess you can see ASUU President dodging questions:
1. He was asked that if its true that most of the demands can actually be achieved without FG through the use of internal generated funds, e.g acceptance fees, pre degree stuffs buh instead he was talking about hostels shits.
2. He was asked what they (ASUU) can achieve with 200B in less than 4weeks to the end of 2013, yet he dodged the question again.
3. The AIT girls saw that those demands he argued that wasn't new where actually new buh He wan change am for them. Etc
4. He was also asked that what is the hope of Nigeria students before this year ends, he yet again didn't answer the question.

This man is too determined to ruin us (students).......... I don't know where he got his ideology from...... Mtchewww

Boss Ttdiamonds: Son of bitches... WTF??.. You cant even curse right....
You cant even articulate simple grammatical phraseology.. No wonder ASUU is on strike..

otokx: Its alright if you say both are to blame, but the actions of FG will elongate this strike by many more days especially the signing of register.

otokx: you will not see any useful information but the truth will prevail

olanre12: i know my vc he can do that but i heard that they are not yet sack them...

paragon40: Sequel to the Vice Chancellor's directive that
FUTO students should resume as directed by
FG.
I wish to condemned a section of online media
information on sack of All lecturers in FUTO
wish
I describe as utterly irresponsible, deplorable,
highly unprofessional and unethical antics of
certain fringe elements operating in the
nebulous
sphere of cyberspace who would do nothing
less
than to persist in seizing every opportunity to
unjustifiably malign, impugn, misinform and
mislead the general public by cooking and
spreading malicious lies and fallacy. FG
directed
lecturers to sign registers in schools to show
that they have resumed. To the best of my
knowledge FUTO has not sacked any lecturer.
Nonetheless, All Students are expected to
return
to school. The school management maintains
exam must hold this year though the exam
may
not start on 9th of December, 2013 as
scheduled
earlier. A new date will be communicated upon
students return. Aluta Continua...!
Brun'o, (O'bama)

(SUG SECRETARY FUTO)

Boss Ttdiamonds: I can honestly conclude that any student currently in support of FG is one sick as$ S0n of a b*tch.....

otokx: o

Information is power ~ be informed.

otokx: The egyptians marched forward into the red sea so please march well.

bufness: chei I c 1 pexn atlast
BTW:all dz babes day run away from ifetedo

texazzpete: 1. I'm not an ASUU member, and I most likely never will lecture. (unless after I retire I decide to give something back)

2. I don't care about public opinion polls. It lines up perfectly with my summation of the vast majority of Nigerians a 'gutless cowards'. I have lived through tons of NLC strikes over minimum wage, fuel price increase etc. Public opinion ALWAYS swings against strike continuation after just a few days. Look, the FG can make fuel N200 per litre tomorrow and within 2 weeks, people like you will start begging NLC to call off the strike. Happens every time.

Some of us support ASUU in this matter because we have functional brains, and because we love our country. If it means some of you have to sit at home for 6 months so that the Universities will see some improvement, I'm all for it.



I'm flattered! I had thought you only reserved this
greeting for your close family members

texazzpete: Yet another indication that the vast majority of Nigerians are gutless and cowardly.




No. ASUU was 'sabotaged and hijacked' when they would go on strike and resume lectures on the basis of empty promises with nothing signed on paper. Now, they are finally fighting for the right thing. It takes a mentally inept fellow to insinuate that the strike is 'political' or has been 'hijacked'.



It was a national disaster more than a decade ago when our universities started churning out unemployable graduates, when lecture halls had the shoddiest of equipment available, when the conditions of service of lecturers was so poor that only the poorest graduates wanted to stay back to lecture.



I don't get you...is it that you do not truly appreciate how terrible our Universities are now? Is it that you do not see how DESPERATELY our tertiary institutions needs revamping...our labs, hostels, lecture halls etc? Is it that you are blind to see that only a small fraction of the truly gifted graduates stay back to teach others and pass on their knowledge as lecturers?

Well, some of us aren't as blind as you are...and we see that truly, desperate times require desperate measures. Kudos to ASUU!




This is exactly what makes the FG happy. One ignorant fellow supporting an FEC that has ZERO of their nuclear family members studying in a Federal University. All their kids enjoy top-of-the line University education. It must tickle them pink when students in Federal Universities that make do with labs with defunct equipment are 'supporting them'.

You poor, naive fellow.

macof: And you have no right to disrespect and claim people are rejected by God.

You are not God, and have never heard, seen or felt God, you do not know anything other than wat people have written in Bible for u.- which is not reliable, and cannot be considered universal truth as it is simply one perspective contradicting all others.

There's more chance of the major Bible doctrines and ur post to be false because a God of the universe wouldn't restrict righteousness to only few individuals and punish those he did not because he didn't fancy them enough to give them such righteousness like Abraham.

all humans are born with consciousness in order to feel(not literally) God, his will exist in everyman.

And people like u who claim Christians are the only God chosen people while others are rejected is simply discrimination similar to racism and disgusting bigotry.

By the way you didn't answer my questions

Wat happens to glorious pagans before Christ who didn't have Yahweh's righteousness? Alexander, Julio Cesar, Cleopatra etc.

And wat happens to those after Christ who didn't know Christ? Your ancestors of let's say 4 generations ago?

macof: To the bold- do u realize that when u pray on a mountain u pray to Orisha Oke? He is God of mountains and blesses those with problems who come to him in sincerity.
That woman got nothing from Jesus, her child belongs to Orisha Oke

Do u know that names don't matter in the spiritual realm? If u like pray in the name of poo, if u are sincere in the presence of Orisha oke he would bless u wit ur heart desire.


The woman's vision is common to any depressed and deluded individual.
many have had visions of many Orisha especially when they are going through hard times like the woman.

Truly I tell you, if you pray/swear by Sango it works faster and more effective than Jesus.
Many politicians swear by Jesus and Bible yet they steal from the nation freely without consequence, let's see how far if they start swearing by Sopona,Sango or Ogun
