There are universities not with ASUU, yet better than most of the universities still with ASUU, so what are you saying again?

which government university is not with ASUU, as far as I know it was only uni ilorin and they are back with ASUU. Even at that, they were not and are currently not the best federal university in Nigeria. So, i don't understand your point.
Look, simply give me a proof that our universities are adequately funded compared to even contemporary countries in Africa. Regardless of whether ASUU is fighting for improved welfare they are right. Their salaries are very poor by the way. Poor facilities etc are all as a result of government neglect. So what exactly are you people defending government for? I don't get it

How can you goa commit another crime, imagine snatching a car when you run from prison. Some people e be like say Na do dey do them.

They never finish this one you don enter another one.

Yeye people.

The people who had the guts to even break prison for convicts to escape are even the worst

So why continue the same method that is not working?

Does that not mean they are devoid of ideas?

They can't win any fight
Maybe because they are not truly doing it for the students

If not because of the strikes, the university system would have turned to that of primary schools now. The little monies released were done due to the strikes. Of course this is the only way for now, as long as people like you refuse to back ASUU and stop government irresponsibility. Go and look at governments sponsorship of education in the countries will like to use and spite Nigeria, it is tremendous. Even countries in Africa as the Prof mentioned are far ahead of us in public education management. Education is quite expensive and cannot be funded the way we are doing.

Seriously, I am being sincere and that's why I don't want to blame the FG alone. ASUU has its own fault. The rots in Nigeria education is bred and nourished by the FG and at the same time ASUU. These professors are as selfish and corrupt as the politicians. That's why I said ASUU gets its courage and credibility from the failure of the Federal government. If the government is a kind that is alive to its responsibilities and priortizes education we all will be able to know what ASUU truly stands for and see through their veil of deception of deceits. ASUU fights for nothing but its own interest.
If ASUU really means well for Nigerian students and education, it's time they adopted better measures to drive home their never fulfilled request from the government other than this constant strike actions that further deteriorate the quality and standard of education in the country.

But what other measures? Our government doesn't understand anything apart from the strike. If not for the strikes, the little respect for the public universities would have totally gone. Even the corruption in all facets of Nigeria is driven by government. So the government is still the genesis of everything. Worse still, if the money needed to find our education system was made available and embezzled, one would know where to vent ones anger, but the money is not even there. Go and look at education budget and compare with the nations will like making reference to

Lol, so after the pandemic. FG should just forked out the money, because of the agreements that were made in 2009, 2013....
This is the wrong time to ask for such money, and ASUU is aware of that.

Let me tell you for a fact that if the FG should accept to pay ASUU via the old platform or UTAS where many ASUU members will be able to keep their multiple jobs in two or more Federal institutions. Then they will call off the strike.

Forget pandemic, was there pandemic from 2009, 2013? read the interview again. Even when the ASUUA asked government to present another structured payment plan, no body answered them.
Again ask NASU, SSANU that are currently on strike because of IPPIS if they taking multiple jobs as well. In that light your multiple job argument does not hold water at all.

Because the government has consistently refused to honor agreements that would have transformed the life of a Nigerian student. But it is no fault of ASUU in fighting for the right thing. Nigerians need to wake up and support them in making the government responsible and not castigating them the way some of you are doing

I'm naive but you're irredeemably gullible. Try and read beyond what ASUU (the profs ) tells you. See from the purview of what their incessant strike actions have attained for them in connection with what it has attained for Nigerian students and the education system.

point is put the blame on the door step of the government. There is nothing like look beyond here. Did you see anything like salary increment of ASUU members in all of the discussion? Rather you see earned allowances which is different from salary. How much does a prof take home monthly as salary by the way?
That the Nigerian student is suffering is no fault of ASUU but govt. Would you rather prefer lectures are delivered under mango trees as it is obtainable in primary schools now? No equipped labs, overcrowded lecture rooms, deplorable hostels or total lack of it. The school fees paid by Nigerian students is meagre and no funds from government. What do you want ASUU to do? Keep chinning out paper degrees that are irrelevant in labour market? Go for an interview with your CU counterpart and see who will be the preferred candidate. We have to be sincere with ourselves here

Ok, please weigh in on the matter. What do you think is the solution to this current strike.

Please note that the cause of this strike is payment platform only. ASUU just started mentioning revitalization funds and education budget later to add something to the mix.

Please I totally disagree with you that the cause of the strike is payment platform. Google the timeline of the current strike and you will see. Like the Prof said, the five points were the cause of the strike as govt did not honour the 2013 agreements. The IPPIS issue came up like two months after ASUU began their strike, making it a sixth point.
The solution is simple, government should honor its agreements with ASUU and stop grandstanding. Why are they insincere? You negotiate something on a roundtable, agree, but all of a sudden trash it.

pls save us all these robin hood stories of ASUU.

the billions Jonathan's government gave them some few years ago, what have they done with it or what little changes so far have they brought to the schools with the monies?

na FG I blame sha. giving ASUU money without accountability and monitoring them on how they spent it. after receiving billions the first thing they do is go buy Benz and SUVs and now they'd be claiming they're fighting for the revitalizations of schools. I pray FG deals with you guys very well.

Please stop muddling things up here and be more smart in your argument. The university system is headed by the VC who is in charge of University administration and is not a member of ASUU as a body. Again you agree with me that the government should take blame, what is the work of ICPC, EFCC, NUC if you are insinuating corruption in the system? And by the way, the money released by government which you are exaggerating is like a pin in ocean compare with the problems the universities are facing. A 1.2 trillion agreement was signed and about 1.1trillion is outstanding after seven years and you are shamelessly supporting government

Lol, of the countless incessant strikes that has been embarked by ASUU in the last few decades.
The main benefits has been students staying longer than necessary in school and further deterioration of pubic schools.

So I that ASUU fault or the government who is supposed to be doing the right thing. Instead of holding the government responsible, we prefer doing shot cut. This is the reason why we may never prosper as a nation, while the government gets everything wrong, the priorities of the citizens who are supposed to be holding the government responsible are even worse

This is not the first time and may not be the last as long as our government continue to be useless. They are going to pay for the months, I assure you. Why can't they honor agreements they signed after long time? This is what many of you fail to see. Have you gone to the public schools and seen the deplorable state of facilities? The universities are poorly funded but everyone blame ASUU, why? Look at our primary and secondary schools now, they are in shambles and the same thing is happening to the universities

It's nothing t argue about. ASUU and the federal government out of selfishness and irresponsible destroyed Nigerian education system.

Did you even read the interview? For crying out loud, ASUU went on strike base on the five points agenda as stated in the opening question. The issue of IPPIS which resulted to withheld salaries came later in the ongoing strike. So what is your point exactly? This is what the prof is trying to say, many people cannot read a simple article and comprehend properly due to the poor state of our public schools

And my answer is what you quoted. Politicians can distribute to their girlfriends as you said as CACOVID sent the products to the warehouses they provided. But your interjection is completely off point in the context of my submission.

Is it so difficult to assemble all the covid19 palliative and send them uniformly to all states same day?

I as a small business can do that. The country is filled with incompetent handlers, and there's no president to enforce standards.

No, you cannot do that. The quantity involved is in millions and the logistics also will be a huge challenge, especially at the height of covid. The companies producing these may not even have the capacity to store the quantities, hence there was reasonable decision by CACOVID to rely on government to provide storage facilities. In summary, what you looking at as an easy task is not as easy as you think if you look beyond the surface

Thought one Femi Adesina claimed Buhari deliberately omitted mentioning d deaths during this struggle cos it's under investigation and would be too early to do so. Honestly I feel d greatest undoing a leader would have is having sycophants around him/her who rather than telling him d truth and apologize on his behalf when necessary would rather be ass-licking and make such leader appear infallible. Femi Adesina would be remembered in history as one of those that often twisted narrative to be in d good books of d tyrants against common truth and conscience. Imagine if in d broadcast Buhari observed a one minute silence for d souls of those that died!!!.

Were the figures mentioned specific to the lekki shootings? Femi was specifically talking about lekki shootings, the president is talking about recorded deaths during the protests nationwide. Two different things apart. And for the records, Buhari mentioned about people that died during the struggle in his speech, go and read again. He didn't mention the lekki shootings though, but that does not mean you should be mixing things up the way you did, which can result to misinformation

However seeing that the UTAS is more of local content makes it commendable.

Our ivory towers should be providing solutions to the myriads of problems facing us as a nation.

Buy Naija to grow Naija.

There is nothing arrogant about ASUU on IPPIS. It is all about a group of people who know their right and exercise it when needed. Why must they accept IPPIS which is full of errors regarding their payments. An employee should never look at himself as a slave to the employer.
