You can do your research on health or Doctors strike and post.

He is very fair to doctors and other health team. I must commend him

Lamasta:
Your village people will vote for him she cos rigging will not save him this time around

Ok

Kdon2:
Dey play. Students that ordinarily don't have any hope now have hope. To burst your bubble, Peter obi when he was governor in anambra, rather than cushion education in tertiary institutions inflated school fees by 600%. He had no sympathy for the parents who are struggling to send those children to school. Tinubu is a much better human than obi.

you don't have a point, you are just agueing blindly

This is just one index. Tell me more!

If he should tell others you will tell him that "Na statistics you go chop"

ASUU strike durations by administration:

🔴 Obasanjo (1999–2007) — 18 months
🔴 Yar’Adua (2007–2010) — 4 months
🔴 Jonathan (2010–2015) — 13 months
🔵 Buhari (2015–2023) — 21 months
🔵 Tinubu (2023–present) — 9 days

Buhari recorded 21 months of strikes during his eight-year tenure — the highest total since the return to democracy in 1999.

So far, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recorded only 9 days of nationwide strike action as of May 2026.

TINUBU IS THE MOST STUDENT-FRIENDLY PRESIDENT EVER.

Add student loan to it

Nothing else to judge him? Try something more beneficial to students please

Ending strikes and normalising students tenors isnt beneficial to students,are you hearing yourself.

Eriokanmi:
Useless post like this will begin to fly around now, cos election is approaching just to cover up their mess but hey! It will never work.

What was the value of the naira while these strikes were taking place back then and now? Was it only salary the striking lecturers were asking for? I know of 3 vibrant lecturers in Unilorin who had left Nigeria for Canada this year alone. That's my alma mater.
How many lecturers are able to buy a car from their salary ? I knew of a lecturer who bought 2 cars without kickbacks or printing handouts. Can it happen now, with the so called salary? What's the condition of hostels and lecture theatres in the federal universities nationwide ?

A lot of myopic people often think that people prefer private universities because of strike lol. In private universities accommodation, infrastructure, facilities are so good. Its just like comparing public secondary schools with private schools. It's sad to note that our private universities made the best 1000 worldwide while only one public university did. UI used to be on the list of the best 100 in the world. What had happened ? It may not be Tinubu's fault but what had he done to improve on the ratings ?

Before anyone can rate this man, he should place lecturers on the salary equivalent of what they were earning during his predecessors' regime, but I doubt he will. They're earning far less now

What exactly is your point as regards the post.....the problem with you guys is your abject lack of objectivity.....its a will be a very terrible mistake to allow you neo facist ideologues take over the reins of this country.....its a dream that will never come to pass.

brain54:
Calling what I said “rubbish” is overreaction...

And overly simplistic.



First of all “lecturers are not striking because they are not hungry” is not meant to be a literal hunger claim.


It’s shorthand for economic pressure and welfare dissatisfaction not whether they have food on the table that morning.


Strikes in universities are rarely about immediate starvation but about relative deprivation, salary erosion, unpaid entitlements, funding of institutions, and working conditions.



Yes lecturers are formally employed. Yes, they receive salaries. But that doesn’t automatically mean their compensation is competitive or sustainable especially in an environment where salaries lose value due to inflation, allowances and agreements are delayed or not implemented or infrastructure/work conditions deteriorate.



Access to grants or occasional travel is not a substitute for systemic welfare.

That’s like saying a hospital nurse is “fine” because they once attended a foreign conference.


Secondly, your framing misses how strikes actually work. People don’t “down tools” only when they are desperate. They strike when
negotiation breaks down, leverage is available and collective action is the only remaining pressure tool.



ASUU strikes historically have been about agreements not implemented over years not sudden hunger.

If you want to criticize meaningfully then critique the actual issues which are inflation, erosion of salaries and institutional decay.

Don't simplify my comment into hungry or not hungry
!

Now you are grasping at straws. There was no ambiguity whatsoever about what you said.
"Lecturers are hungry and that's why they're not protesting. "
Wasn't hunger one of the factors that pushed them to strikes in the past? If they're not striking now like they did regularly in the past, a more discerning mind would put that beyond hunger.
Good day to you.

michlins:
Unfortunately, the students are dropping out of school themselves because their parents can no longer afford to keep them in school.

It has become so bad that jamb is lowering standards for admissions to attract people

Stop spreading fake information. no student dropping out because of tuition fees. Nelfund has already taken care of it.
Stipends of 20k for upkeeps for the student every month. I have two nieces that enjoying this nelfund. Any student that says he or she drops out becos of school fees is a lie

Is it the NELFUND students are using to feed?
You’re still far from reality, and I’ll put you through. Only few percentile of students use those loans for fees, the rest of them try to survive through school taking those loans. I’ve had many of those cases, that’s how I know

He did not improve the condition that made ASUU to reduce number of time they engaged in strike.
Government destroyed unionism. Divide them against themselves and thereby making them very weak.
Together with poverty level in the country, they now accepted their fate anyhow they see it.
That is not improvement.
It is intimidation and flogging into unwilling submission.

Kdon2:
You guys are just simply dishonest irritatingly

I said the truth, this whole solving ASUU strike is only a facade; wait till he leaves the office and the mess will be uncovered, another dragging for agreements not met for the future students.

Also, the glorious NELFUND is only a suffering and smiling scheme. Students are really suffering.
Economy is so bad, and you still have to pay multiple dues, buy textbooks and other miscellaneous expenses. Don’t forget School fee and rent increments. Then, the cost of living and surviving? A lot of students survive on drinking garri everyday, I’m sure you are very much aware!
I have had students use this loans just for survival! Tinubu isn’t doing sh*** for Nigerian students 💯

Kdon2:
Don't mind them. They chose to be deliberately blinded by hate and bitterness. Anyone with open mind will see all the reforms going on. For the first time each state are allowed to own their power generation, transmission and distribution, black market no longer controls dollar price. Now we have tax reform, we have states paying back back log of debt, foreign investors are growing more confident that they will be able to repatriate their profits with fx stability, subsidised dialysis for vulnerable, nelfund for less privileged, road networks, cng alternative fuel source for automobile, decentralization of cbn operation, decentralization of police academy, decentralization of army depot and many more.

We also see how your region have been enjoying security. How oyo state teachers and students are in safe hands of Islamic terrorists

If after everything I took my time to explain in my other post...


You still simplify it and still focused on the hunger part then perhaps you are the one clasping at straws.


Normally even the first post was enough for a discerning mind to understand.

Fortunately I am not obligated to make sense to everyone. Especially one that might be deliberately refusing pick up the nuance of the argument. Or too slow to understand.


Good day too!

Obedient and their Fake games and their valley of Complaints -sees Nothing done by Govt is good,all they See is Negative !
-They See Complaints,
-Bitterness,
-Falsehoods,
-Manipulations,
-Innuendos - since 2023-but could Not See • Why ASUU - should Not Continue Strikes,
• NELFUND SUCCESS is a taboo to them,
• The Roads 🛣️ -Success Projects- has blindfolded them:
•- the Lagos - Ibadan Express Road - started by Buhari is still being Completed by Tinubu,
•- the East ➡️ West ⬅️ Road Projects is on going,
•- the Benin-Ore - Ijebu-Ode Road Projects is 80% Complete,yet this same Road Was Awarded by Aninin of PDP -( Mr Fix it then- Nothing was done - the Approved Budgets/ Money 🤑💰- gone) !
•- the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway Road Projects - is Passing through 9- Southern States - for Economic Emancipation - Not Stomach Infrastructures,
•- the Sokoto Badagry Superhighways ROAD Infrastructural is taking Shapes !
•Yet the Obedient and PDP-Sympathetisers Are blind to Truth and Cannot See the -Rhythm Changing -because of HATES for Tinubu.
You see them Saying ' Se na Road we go Chop- but these Are Long- Term -Infrastructures Developments that No Past Govt-have ever Embarked Upon- that will Transform the Economy - in Global 🌍 Competition.

Even though it available,how easy is it getting the cash to get it? How much is a kg of cooking gas now? How cheap is it these days transporting from one state to another?... About absence of petrol ques u mention,let me tell u the reality,before now in my area when there's no light, everybody puts on generator,but now because petrol money no dey, people just stay in darkness except for the few who still have some change to spare,or one or two who have struggled to install solar system.....you may be close to those in power,so you see and hear their proposals and achievements on paper,but for we wey near bottom, nothing dey xup even with all the extra hustle.we virtually broke body to get things going.

I am feeling it for one. How many times have you paid 2k to get fuel in filling stations or forced to patronize black market adulterated fuel that destroy our engines or unending queue where people break their heads.

Kdon2:
Is it English problem you have or comprehension problem

Answer my question and leave your rhetorics.
Or didn't Tinubu said what I wrote

bitingcool:
You should be ashamed of yourself, using strike as an index. One fool said student loans is an achievement because in foreign schools, people take student loan.

WHY IN EARTH SHOULD CITIZENS OF AN OIL RICH COUNTRY TAKE LOANS TO BE EDUCATED.

Why not also include number of ritualists as achievement.

The bar is so low that strike is now an achievement.

Spits furiously

They don't see things like this.

Nastrademus:
When you don't have anything to campaign with, it's number of days or months ASU was on strike compared to other president, tell your tinubu to end the f**king insecurity in the country
You can as well compare the cost of living in tinubu's time with the aforementioned presidents, tinubu is the worst president any country will ever have in the world

Alliswell248:
Hate and Bitterness has blindfolded the opposition minds

Health subsidy
Massive roads construction
Positive rating by international agencies

Try to Open your Mind,Mr Man, that will Allow you to think Freely,not that Biased-Bitterness and Falsehoods from your Mindset.
• No Other Govt-since Independence ( 1960-1973),
• Has Done MORE INFRASTRUCTURES - ROADS-Than Tinubu Govt of 3 years
- IT'S In All the REGIONS - that is a Long Term PROJECTS - Not Stomach Infrastructures by Other PAST Govt and Politiycians.
• In Education.
- Just as OP Said in his Opening Statements - • Tinubu's Govt Has Answered the Education Authority and that is why you have relatives Peace in our Higher Institutions Today than Three Years Ago,
- the ASUU Are Doing more Research, instead of Elongated Aluta Continua- Strike.
• the NELFUND SUCCESS IS Written Everywhere.
• FOREX ,
-the Foreign Investors Are Gradually Coming Back,
- Having More Confidence in Nigeria Economy,
- Multiple Exchange Rates have Collapsed into a Single Unified One.
-Under Buhari,it was a Disaster and Disappointment - as those Parading Out Airports,
-Our Nigeria Port Authority ( NPA) had No Reason for being there- just Manipulation and Fake Importers/ Exporters - everywhere!
•It is Only In Nigeria- We Have Billionaires WITHOUT ANY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS OR COMPANY RUNNING- with their Footsoldiers on the Social Media , Praising them !😁.

We are a 3rd world nation for a reason.

There's no nuance anywhere, mister. You are criticizing blindly like the average human being. You got caught out and started turning and twisting.
I don't expect you to own up to your obvious bias, at the same time don't expect everyone to foolishly swallow it hook line and sinker.

Do you now admit that the reason lecturers' strikes are no longer prevalent is beyond hunger and poor lecturers welfare?
Our lecturers put themselves above others. If they feel a threat to their livelihood, they'll fight, unless you are too young to know that

Someone with common sense would wait until Tinubu finishes atleast one term before arriving at a conclusion that Tinubu is "student friendly"...
