Your write-up void and ladden with crass ignorance. You know near to nothing about what you're saying.

1. while you are here commending, all the children of these elites are studying abroad. They shut down your own "substandard" universities & send their own kids out of the country, and you're hailing.

2. Just so you know, ghost workers is near impossible in academia. There's the need for evidence of what course, who teaches & when, monitored periodically by NUC. If it's inconsistent, you risk partial or failed accreditation. Moreover, if there were ghost Lecturers, you won't be hearing about lecturing in 2 or more universities.

3. On what ASUU has achieved, a lot. More than half the students in public universities would have been dropouts by now, if ASUU hadn't rejected the FG earlier proposed 350k to 500k school fees.

4. Just so you know, significantly over 50% of ASUU members are MSc or PhD students in Nigeria. Less than 30% of ASUU members study abroad under TETFUND. A good number worked hard enough to obtain foreign scholarships abroad. Hence not all Lecturers abroad are funded by TETFUND.

5. The said TETFUND is actually the brainchild of ASUU! so is NEEDS. All Lecture halls, Hostels, Vehicles, Chairs, Lab equipment, Books etc that has TETFUND or NEEDS ASSESSMENT crested on them are products of ASUU struggles. They went through hunger, sickness and death in some cases for these to come into fruition. Something a lot of people are unaware of. A huge number of Nigerians do not even know that TETFUND is not funded by FG!!! Do your investigation on this, since na u sabi pass.

6. What have Lecturers invented? That's the problem with FG propaganda. You want inventions in a University that is grossly underfunded. Does that add up? Australia just released 1B dollars intervention fund to universities last week. Reason is, international students were slow in paying up their fees. That is how much they value education. That is not part of the annual education budget. But Nigerian politicians would rather shutdown Universities, strangulate her intellectuals, distabilize academic calendar and frustrate the students, instead of spending 350Million dollars for a period of six years. What a stench.
During this pandemic, without salaries and without FG funding, several Universities have developed Ventilators that are currently up for commercialization. Rapid diagnostic kits for COVID-19 have been developed and commercialized already. Drugs are at advanced levels in at least 2 public universities in Nigeria. ASUU does not have the financial muscle to match FG's propaganda or control the disappointing money controlled media. But it is definitely working. Unknown to Nigerians, the current ASUU strike permits members to go into research that can salvage the pandemic challenges. Who will report these developments?

7. What is Nigeria's University certificate worth abroad? This the more reason for massive funding of these institutions. Despite a limited premium on our certificates, significant number of Nigeria students perform excellently abroad. Our universities produce good students, that can compete globally, yet, their certificates are less regarded. Isn't that a significant signal, that our universities can do more with a little more funding?

8. Extended retirement of 70 age does not mean Lecturers want to die there. Recently, the Nobel price award in Chemistry was won by a 91 year old academic. It is scientifically proven that the brain cells are one of the most long lasting. Professionalism improves with years of work. Moreover, how come the retirement age of politicians doesn't worry you?

Have You Ever led a song in church and you went blank?

This happened to me within the week. I was leading praises and worship only for me to go blank.

I made them continue singing "we have come to draw, draw, draw... Draw from you again " for 10minutes telling them to sing from their heart whereas i actually went blank . I actually can’t remember any song.

Share your experience.

Your comments lack wisdom and understanding. Doubt if you have any relation or acquaintance who is affiliated to any University. Seek the emphasized first before dropping myopic views.
