It is weird that we would think the main challenge and demands of our lecturers are merely based on monetary concerns. Of a truth, monetary compensation would give a lot more prestige to their way of life and provision for their families but behind it all, might be both a cry and a demand for respect. A demand of wanting to be appreciated and respected, to be treated with dignity in their nation and their country like their counterparts in other parts of the world.
How do we as a nation expect these strikes not to be the order of the day? The truth is the breed of politicians that have led this nation in the last 30 years were never cut from the same political fabric as the forefathers and visionaries that preceded them. The latter were educated, they were refined and they loved their nation and those that did not love their nations, passionately loved their tribes and loved their people.
Unfortunately, these caricatures of politicians are mostly uneducated and see governance as a way of eradicating hunger in their lineage. The predicament can be deduced as ASUU is fighting a battle with an opponent that is not following the same rules of engagement. ASUU is fighting an opponent with the false ideology that they have an upper hand and they are relevant and important to this government. ASUU believes that the education of the students is a good bargaining chip to hold hostage.
Unfortunately, for this to be valid the government has to agree with this line of thought, which they obviously do not. How do you convince one who never saw your usefulness to see your value? The worth of ASUU or the value it brings, the worth of the children of this nation and the dream of a new future is not the dream of the government. Education brings power and entitlement to power. Education brings freedom, knowledge and wisdom to a younger generation.
So, the parents and the children watch on as these two titans fight while the well-fed monster sits comfortably amongst us.
