Ebubu:


didn’t you hear the ASUU chairman saying on channels television two weeks ago that Nigerians should make sure they vote out APC ?

But if what you said is true then it is wrong. He can't say he want apc out and suffers innocent students. How many apc big wigs kids live or studies in Nigeria?

Honestly if this is about politics then Fed govt should sanction ASUU seriously or possiblly ban it and outlaw it.

It's not apc who is suffering it now its the entire students affected suffering it.

babyfaceafrica:


Lmao, they won't teach o

The appellate court advised for an out of court settlement on Tuesday, giving a 24hrs window.
Both FG and ASUU lawyers agreed.
But they couldn't come up with an agreement within that time frame.

I'm suspecting Falana was begging FG to pay ASUU for some months, which Ngige refused.
But Adamu said it a long time ago that the no work no pay stance was from Buhari himself, before Buhari later reteriorate it that it's meant to serve as punishment to ASUU for their "needless action"

Well, if what ASUU is fighting for is money then dem dey craz, but if is to minimize numbers of newly creates universities good for them, because I don’t see reason for creating schools u don’t care for ?some federal uni buildings is almost collapsing

babyfaceafrica:



The Court of Appeal is the final bus stop when it comes to the proceedings of the National Industrial Court. Section 243 (4) of the 1999 Constitution.


While ASUU has a good case, national interest will be considered

so what's the supreme Court made for?

N3TRAL:
If they refuse, the Federal Government should enforce the Judgment of the Court by deregistering them

The government should not stop at that.

Vice-chancellors must account for hundreds of billions worth of TETFUND grants they have embezzled.

The lecturers must also write apology letters to students and add 20 marks to the score of students because you cannot stay 8 months at home blocking highways and bullying online without forgetting what you were taught in January. It should be a criteria for paying them the 8 months salary they didn't work for.

For more than 40 years, ASUU has shattered the dreams of great Nigerian students.

Below is a picture of ASSU strike being called off in 1981. My mother had just started Primary School in 1981. 41 years later a useless congress of indecent academicians are still frustrating students.

At the end of the day, government and ASUU are both going to agree that since the money needed cannot come from oil revenue...funding for universities will be increased by fee increases, and taxation increases.

That's when you will see why ASUU really is on strike. They want government to provide enough funding for keeping unis cheap, and keeping them at a level equivalent to a proper university.

The reality is government cannot do that. Money from oil is falling, and government has not taken the decisions needed for us to become a producing economy, and by extension, have enough cash to fund unis properly.

Me, I support fee increases, because it makes sense. But I also know that most Nigerians cannot afford fees higher than 500000 per annum or even 1million to 2 million...per annum...which is my estimate as to a proper fee university. And when universities increase fees, people like you would complain about it. But that is why ASUU has been going on strike...so that universites don't have to increase fees for you poor students to fund themselves..the universites, i mean... properly.

When government told them in 2013 that they could not give them 1.5 trillion in 3 years as per the 2009 agreement, within a week, fees went up in some universities. You think it won't happen again, now that ASUU Has been beaten down.

Anyway, fee increases are needed. But I know you Nigerians....

JJuanMiguel:

They don't need to go on strike to achieve that.
ASUU should stop lying and deceiving nuc officials during accreditation exercise.

They should be opened and allow any program lacking in areas of infrastructure and equipment to lose accreditation. That way the VC and senate will be forced to act to get it back.
Lecturers are fond of rigging the process but will be the first to start crying about inadequacies once the officials are gone.

They are also quick to hide under this guise to present their selfish demands.

ASUU main interest is to be on huge salaries to live luxurious life, even though that's not bad but they can't continue to waste students time to try and achieve that.

F.g masters of trickery

Ebubu:
ASUU chairman publicly said on Channels television that Nigerians should vote out APC two weeks ago.

That man no doubt is funded by Atiku and PDP to maintain the strike

you are crazy human being is that the bone of contention if federal government ceded to their agreement would there be issue like this . I ave said it Nigeria cannot be better if we have greedy people like you will support nonentity God will soon eliminate people like you out of the nation.. This is not the issue of politics but the future of Tommorow

System202:
these kind of injustice only happens in nigeria, u want want them to resume on empty stomach, them Come make them resume na, Buhari should start obeying court first before ASUU, nonsense vegetable president

Yes they should resume on empty stomach. Did they work? Very stupíd modafokers!

TenQ:

That is why nothing works in Nigeria.

What do you think will happen if individuals can sue the government for bad roads, no electricity and poor security?

how many people pay tax in Nigeria? Nigeria is one of the countries with lowest electricity tariff still yet many people bypass their meter

God bless you my bro you just nailed I will advice the ASUU not to fight for anything and allow the government to increase the school fees so that those stupid kids and hypocrites hailing the government and condemning the government will keep their mouth shut

Samogloby:
According to the judgment, if lower court sentence someone to death, the person must die first before he is entitled to appeal.

no, the person must stay on deathrow while he appeals the judgement.

Just like if lower court sentences criminal on bail to prison, that criminal will have to appeal the judgement from prison and then request another bail during the appeal.

It's simple sturv that a lawyer like falana supposed to know.

FG has registered two more lecturers unions. ASUU came into this strike united, now they’re coming out with divisions as there is now ASUU, CONUA, and NAMDA, all fully registered, licensed by FG. They’ll soon start attracting junior lecturers to port from ASUU to CONUA.

francom:


The union is fighting the course of Nigerians and Nigerian students. While the ministers, politicians and judicial officers don't care because their children are schooling abroad

Nonsense talk!

All Ngige's children schooled in Nigeria, but same cannot be said about some of these ASUU members.

seunmsg:


Their stand is not legitimate and it’s not for the future of our universities but for their selfish benefits.

No it isn't. It is for our unis future. Yes they want good salaries.(and they want a better method of payment, not IPPIS which messed them up)..but they also want better facilites, which the 2009 agreement goes into.

But crucially, they want standard universites that would still be cheap.

The calling off of the strike has basically left the increased fees option on the table. And since it is not popular, and we are poor, the government unis will depreciate further.

Maybe you can send your kids to private schools and universites...and no, I don't begudge you that...but most poor people are now left with badly funded univeristes which will now fall behind the private unis...all because government has no extra funds for improving universities.

At the end, as one VC said in 2018, you want Cambridge level, you pay the appropriate amount for it. Government does not want to pay for standard universites. Too bad for the poor.

jrusky:
This ASUU people I don't know what they want.

I'm suspecting this issue has been politicised.

you are still suspecting?

ASUU can still try their luck in supreme court
ASUU... wasting students precious time since inception!

alimiadedayo1:

God bless you my bro you just nailed I will advice the ASUU not to fight for anything and allow the government to increase the school fees so that those stupid kids and hypocrites hailing the government and condemning the government will keep their mouth shut

shut up. I am glad you people will not receive 6 months salary. It gladdens my heart.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

Yes they should resume on empty stomach. Did they work? Very stupíd modafokers!

thank you very much. even that person you are quoting, in his private company will never pay his workers for missing work for one month, not to mention 8 solid months.

if you want increased salary go to private university. rubbish

JJuanMiguel:

Were they employed to be making demands?
Well, this might be a good time to suspend the union.

Can you suspend a union?
What do you know about civil rights and labour history? This is the first reason why freedom of Association is enshrined in the constitution. As ling as an Association is not criminal, the govt. has zero control over its membership.

seunmsg:

Baba Tohibu Emilokan Mutairu! You better be saving now so you can send your son to the Universities that Nigerian politicians (Buhari Inclusive) send their children.

union court cases are not legally obliged to reach supreme court. union legal cases only end in appeal court. end of the road for ASUU the useless striker

Spandau:

shut up. go and borrow transport back to campus and resume. as you’ve not been paid for 8 months.

frank14011991:

Every major country I know have mechanism by which income tax is filed from your place of work.

Does your government know how much you are earning per month?

Most Nigerians don't bypass there meter my friend except you are one of those Nigerians

JJuanMiguel:

Lol
You people are delirious
You just want everything to get as bad as possible so as to use it against APC without minding the consequences on others

then they turn around and claim they love Nigeria more than everyone else.

Evil people.

ASUU union is criminal and a clog in the wheels of peaceful nation

Ebubu:


if you want increased salary go to private university. rubbish

I am not a lecturer, but if I was one, I would go to a private uni, earn a higher salary, and also get some better facilties.

At the end, it is the government universites that will suffer from continued poor funding. And most of the people who go there are poor people.

University costs money. For many years we tried to run them as cheaply as possible...and thus they became so substandard. If you want it to continue like that, fine. If you cannot send your child there tomorrow...fine. But if it is what you can afford, then sorry....your child is going to be disadvantaged vs the graduate from private university.

I honestly wish there was an easy answer to this matter.

NinjaXmetahuman:

no mind ASUU. they should be banned for the peace of innocent nigerians

do you think i read all you’ve said? i wish they will refuse to resume so they can be sacked

Ebubu:

Okey dokey. Have fun.

babyfaceafrica:


But the lecturer hasn't worked for seven months, why should he be paid? Who will pay the student for the lost time?

The best government can do is half pay!! Why will the lecturers collect full pay and nobody pays the student

I support this. Pay four months to the lecturers and pay the remaining to the students.

Infact 2 months to the lecturers and 6 months to the students.

The students are the victims here and they must be duly compensated.
