#WHYASUUSTRIKE ?

most of the lecturers are been sponsored by the same government to go for further study aboard, if you go through the 2009 agreement you will find out that the agreement between FG and ASUU is unrealistic, I think the only issue ASUU is having with this government is the members allowances which FG have not paid for years. ASUU is not fighting for students, FG told ASUU that Nigeria economy is in recession and that money can not be taken out RN. if you feel ASUU is fighting for students to have good learning environment, you are confused like ASUU too. don't forget that most of the agreement have been met by GEJ administration, do you know that ASUU asked FG to give them 50% of the money budgeted for the educational sector in the 2009 agreement? even the former SP (David Mark) said the FG team that negotiated with ASUU didn't even consider other factors.

it like saying a serving senator was arrested, and he was driving alone with his family from Kd to Abj or Abj to Kd without security☺

tho from the body of the news he was not arrested, the people in the vehicle were arrested.. HEADLINE IS MISLEADING

PrecioussB:
The question is straight forward.

Of course I understand we all have more than three criteria in choosing our potential life partner, but for the purpose of this thread, just your three topmost criteria.

For those who are married,what were the three topmost criteria that made you marry your spouse.


For me my 3 criteria are:

1. Must have a Great heart

2. Must be intelligent (very neccessary)

3.Must be himself and have few good friends.

and she must be based in calabar

ok

it is well.

Joevics:
The real reason people are interested in the case is because she's a minor.
Its everywhere.

no dear.. the reason people are more interested in the case is because it involves a pastor and the pastor is a very popular and flamboyant person

Joevics:
Oga having sex with a 17 year old according to the constitution, is rape.

They are not of age to give consent.

OK Sir constitution.. i know she is a minor. but then again don't join any team. but can I ask you one question



how did you know she was 17 years old then?

AntiWailer:
Instead of all this insanity.

Busola mentioned two Pastors that knew about the rape.


They are still COZA pastors today and they av not denied this.

Rape or Consensual sex by both party.. am not supporting any of the team, but I have this feeling they both had sex but it was based on the two party agreement.. I should quote the pastor wife statement " my husband is not a rapist".. but she did not say the husband did not have sex with Mrs Dakolo
