Some Nigerians on social media, Tuesday, expressed displeasure over the resumption of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila in a university in the United States of America amidst the lingering strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The PUNCH reports that academic activities in public universities in Nigeria have been shut down for 162 days.

ASUU had on February 14, 2022, announced the commencement of industrial action following the failure of the government to meet some lingering demands of the union.

Gbajabiamila had on Tuesday tweeted via his verified Twitter handle, @femigbaja that he had gone back to the Harvard Kennedy School.

“Back to class. In a leadership course @havard @Kennedy_school. Forget the number of grey hairs, one is never too old to learn.”

Commenting on the development, a Twitter user @Santos tweeted, “Sir? What is your take on the five months ASUU strike in Nigeria as the leader of law-making arm of Nigeria govt? The university students have being at home for five months.

“Do you honestly think that showing us pictures your Harvard lecture class is the best at this moment?”.

Another Twitter user, Halidu Adamu, tweeted, “The irony. These guys are completely desensitised. Tweeting about attending classes in a foreign university while ours at home have been locked for months. ASUU needs to wake up and smell the coffee, this action is not leading anywhere constructive.”

Another Twitter user, Akintunde Babatunde, also tweeted, “ If universities in the USA were to be on strike, how will you be able to experience a working system? Walk around and see how basic things works in a normal university? Let’s hope you’ll return and use your influence to make our educational institutions work.”

The PUNCH reports that under the tenure of Gbajabiamila as the speaker of the house of reps, ASUU embarked on strike for close to 12 months, nine months in 2020 and close to six months in 2022.

Ebubu3:
personal question, will you vote next year and will you vote APC

I will vote, but I am a little confused about who to vote for! The contest is clearly between Tinubu and Atiku but the two of them have nothing to offer Nigeria, they are both dead woods.
Obi is a better person but he has a very slim merging of winning, but it seems I will waste my vote by voting Obi!

Bluntguy:
I am even surprised Buhari is still in Nigeria.

The Man dey Nigeria?
I think the man dey Liberia dey give lecture for dere o

Nigeria House Speaker, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has tweeted that he is in class in Harvard, just as protests rock Nigeria on the ongoing strikes by the Nigerian University workers!

AndroidAI:
If you couldn't interpret a rejection letter, I wonder

Hey bros, you have to be gentle on the guy, even the people who rejected him tried to be as gentle as they could!
Normally, when you receive something like this you may need one or two people to still read and tell you exactly what it means

This type of message can be very shocking
They want to be kind, as much as possible, in telling you that you are not qualified enough for the job and hence rejected

This government is completely clueless!
Must they use bomb?
How many bombs did Americans used in rescuing their citizens in Mali?
Is our military so lazy that they can not go into the bush and launch attack on those bandits/terrorists with minimal kidnapped victims casualties?

GoodMuyis:


I based my figures on Naira, which many Nigerians should understand better

I could see that and it is good, but pairing with the national minimum wage will be good too, because what people earn in South Africa or Britain can never be compared with what people earn in Nigeria!

iampeterben:
I pity LASU one naira they nor go receive from TETFUND once the battle is won. Make dem dey follow Sanwo-Olu.

Actually, they will be as entitled to TETFund as those who are on strike now. It is a matter of the constitution
Did you read of a lecturer who took his University to court because he was not paid Earned Allowance? The guy is not a member of ASUU and likely did not partake in the fight for the Earned Allowance. lronically, the guy won in court because ASUU did not employ him and Earned Allowance was given to Universities to pay their staff (the guy was to be paid 3m naira plus, in Earned Allowance o!)

@OP, it will be appreciated if you can make your data current and also pair the petrol price with the national minimum wage.
Thank you

Victoria ascerta!

Sinkhole is there hope? How far boss?

If God is with Adamu Adamu, then their may be hope!

NairaFeast:
Please whats the meaning of the name "Amusan" in English?

My friend, why do you want to Anglicized the name?
Amusan is a Yoruba name from Ogun State and their is no English of it!

That looks great! Your work?
Is it adaptable, I mean can it be tweaked to suit own purpose?

No, we have not seen that, but we saw somebody "inventing" a walkie-talkie in Yobe

Hardey33:
I keep on seeing FTC and account details posted on some post.
Does nairaland actually pays or nah cruise

This guy is very funny

Honlucas:
sinkhole any update?

na u be my plug oo

No update yet, but the NLC protest is going ahead as planned. All ASUU branches are mobilized and students are also ready to join.
All those notwithstanding, we are still believing that Adamu Adamu can pull the stunt of ending the strike within the two/three weeks he requested!

Morenikeji090:
Davido will never support Atiku ahead of Tinubu never that will happen... Mark my word.. even adeleke will silent and support Osun people to vote Tinubu..

I heard that some youths are getting high on condom odour these days

TheSourcerer:
Rheal Guindon, a young boy in Ontario, Canada, was out on a camping trip with his parents when they decided to go fishing. Rheal stayed onshore but was appalled to witness his parents’ boat tip over, and his parents tragically drown. Panic-stricken, he attempted to walk to the nearest town to get help, but as the sun set, he realized he would have to spend the night outside.

As he lay on the ground, traumatized by this ordeal, he felt “a warm, furry body” press up against him. Thinking it was a dog, he fell asleep. On waking up the next morning, he found three wild beavers snuggled up against him. They had saved him from freezing to death overnight when temperatures had dipped below zero.

With all these stories it begs the question are these animals really uncivilized as we have always thought , and do we share the Instinct of empathy ?

Animals are animals, and they only think in one way!
Animals lack the ability to remember the past and connect it to the present in order to predict or guess what will happen in the future.
If an animal is hungry, it will seek food wherever it can find it; if the animal's food is in your stomach and the animal can see it, the animal will not hesitate to tear your stomach open to obtain the food. Your death is not the animal's problem.
Animals act because they need food, they gain something from what they do, they are protecting their young, or they are trying to save their own lives!

Sincerely speaking, I do not feel anything for him, because if he has not been kidnapped he would have been saying that kidnapping is what Southerners and other people are using to discredit Buhari's regime!
Fashola came on air yesterday to vehemently defend Buhari's government, he talked about how Buhari has improved security significantly in Nigeria: how I wish Fashola or any of his family members could be kidnapped.

Nigeria is for all to take Benin Republic will soon invade Nigeria

pcagbaji:

The cell is the battery

At best, what I think our brother has produced is a digitized walkie-talkie!
Producing a cell phone is an highly involved project. The word "cell" in cell phone itself is an invention of its own . If he claims he develops cell phone system, then he will have to produce the phone as well as the cell network!

Honlucas:


i hope dem fast things before 14 of august

the rollover ends 14 august

Let us pray that Adamu Adamu can perform the expected miracle!

Honlucas:


i saw a post that ASUU wanna declare indefinite strike how true is this bro

indefinite strike does not make sense at this stage, what will likely happen is to continue to roll-over the strike until FG answers them!
I think the current one expires by August, then they will roll it over if there is no resolution by that time.

idealogical:



Clerics with known churches and church services with pictures are not enough proof?

You people no dey even try to make sense...

He said: “I am Apostle Ekapong Ubi Ofem from Yakurr Local Council of Cross River State. To put the record straight, I never attended any meeting or unveiling of anyone, nor was any invitation given to me as regards any form of event in Abuja. I have not travelled out of this state since January.

“I am not aware of the unveiling of the APC presidential running mate. I wonder how my name appeared in Abuja as one of the men of God that attended that event. It is disheartening how people could go that length to destroy someone’s image. This is a pure case of malicious defamation.”

He added: “I have received almost 80 calls from all over Nigeria and even Togo, where the headquarters of World Wide Mantle Assembly is. One of my close friends had alerted me of this evil by forwarding to me the viral list of the so-called men of God, who, purportedly, attended the said event. It was from the Facebook page of one Emmanuel.

Odewaleadesoye:

If you go to a private hospital the procedure only lasts for about 30mins.
I was having same problem sometimes ago and I went to a private clinic on Ahmadu Bello way in Jos, I was asked to apply olive oil for like three days and when I came back the doctor used his instrument and warm water to flush the wax out within 15 mins, I was OK

Anybody that vote APC, especially Christians, should be stoned to death!

It is Over, I am voting anything but APC!

GraceUnIimitedd:
will FG under Adamu accept UTAS?
That's the bone of contention

There was already agreement on that, with Briggs committee setup by Adamu Adamu, before Ngige came and scatter everything!

Honlucas:


so max of 3weeks this strike should be over bah

Hopefully

Honlucas:
sinkhole hope dy?

with Adamu Adamu, it seems there is hope
