The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has again blamed the Federal Government for the ongoing strike in public universities.

Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, Osodeke explained that the union embarked on the eight-week rolling strike to give the Federal Government “more time.” “All they have done is to make promises like they had done in the past. For our members, if you have made promises in the past that you did not fulfil, why should we believe you again? If the government was serious about these problems, within four weeks the problems would have been solved.

That is how they love Nigeria and want One Nigeria. Those behind that Niger project are the enemies of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Misplaced priority. What do you expect?

Why did nassnigeria approve

Off the mic

We don't have a thinking govt. They crude oil way them spend on to find for northern Nigeria, were result🤔. Clueless

One thing that amaze me here is none of these people are student nor studying in Nigeria so they don't care about your strike rather they will utilize the youths to cause confusion for the coming elections

pikaso_me , screenshot this.

This people don't know what they want.greedy lecturers

The story no clear baba

Setting thier priorities right. The kind of government and leadership system we run does not need a fully equipped academic institutions. With disrupted academic sessions and half-baked graduates we can still thrive. Yes, it has a long-term effect but seems we are good!

Misplaced priority 👌

Railway to Niger has not been built. Stop the lies. Your concerns are legitimate but don't lie

It's clear that ASUU is now a political opposition or they r bn used by political opposition. I pray what happened to Kogi state ASUU chapter when politicians want to use them will happen to you guys.

So disappointing especially that Rotimi amechi from south who is the one borrowing money 🤑 to facilitate it wanting to become governor

What you don't know is greater than you. I wish you all know that you don't have a country, but a criminal enterprise. The earlier you all call for a Referendum the better. Because none of you have a say in your so called country. Really sad

Just imagine this, giving priority to another country development.

Defund🇳🇬Universities DefundASUU

So Buhari should not build railway to his hometown in Niger republic again? How do you people want him to pack all his properties from Nigeria to his home when he leaves Aso Rock? 🤣

My brother the thing no tire you

It's called priority. Even as individuals , you allocate money in order of priority.

pikaso_me screenshot this.

But the same Federal Government is paying them salaries.

Every sensible person look at ASUUNGR idiocy, are these ones scholars, see analogy?👆👆👆👆

No be juju be dat 🤷‍♂️

It's simple, that's their priority.

He loud

And the senator are not being owed allowances let alone salaries

This is an irresponsible act of intimidation. Students are at home doing nothing, and you that is earning salaries to teach them are on personal benefit driven strike, and government is folding their arms and doing nothing? What a funny country?

Make una stop this politically motivated strikes. I don't see how an employee should decide and enforce what his office should look like, enforce how he should be paid, whether over the counter or by cheque before he could do the job for which he was employed?

ASUU should be honest. The only way they’ll get what they want is for tuition fees to go way up. They should be ready to have that discussion with Nigerian students and their parents

Varsity VCs and Profs from various fields will still join hands to rig election for them...all of you should fvxkoff

cchukudebelu But sent their children to study abroad and collapse our educational system. God will judge everyone of them.

These are reasoning like out of touch touts!

Is call misplaced priority 😀

True

cchukudebelu He wants to use Nigeria money to develop his country now still the Buharididirins and Buharididirindeens are still hailing him all the way.....May Buhari never happen to us again as a nation!

APC and buhari priorities are to fulani's leaving in Niger and the whole of Africa.

Even when federal government put their attention on universities, what's the outcome?

Baddest Strikers √

That's a misplacement of priority.

Stupid professors everywhere, after falsifying electoral results for someone without certificate you are here accusing him of building a railway line to Niger!

Seeing this should tell u the kind of hopeless n useless people we have steering the affairs of ASUU. Are u people mad or what? Was the rail from Nigeria to Niger for fun purpose or economic purpose? And some e-diotic youths will fall for this nonsense, go n check the reason why

Here,,, but sai baba cannot donate to Asuu I weep for Nigeria 🇳🇬

Do we really have professor's and Doctors in our higher institutions? Hence this comment! Well I guest not all are economist

you know that right

Fulani nigeria govermant built railway tô Niger tô conect fulani People across africa. Fulani nigeria govermant is not there for you they are there tô built fulani empire

To many professors with nothing to their name other than I'm Prof .....what has the FGN funding on research institute yielded all this while. The same Prof calling for sustained strike are still the ones the politician use to rig election

Shior

Why can't ASUU seek autonomy for public universities? Professors search for grant. That's what is obtainable in Europe. Government doesn't fund universities in those countries. Nig Gov can't do it anymore. Can't you see it's very obvious?

Kayodeoshinubi I hope this statement is not true

No one should tell me the whole of this ASSU strike is Not POLITICAL

MBuhari is originally from Niger 🇳🇪 he want to give access to his people and terrorist trooping into Nigeria 🇳🇬

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They should have left the country to rot so far you get fat paychecks na

To Niger Rep where Mr president have his first cousin

The truth is that people from the Niger Republic have infiltrated Nigeria and now they have hijacked the federal government. These people have vowed to dominate and impoverish other Nigerians who are not their decent, kill our people impose hardship on us, and fold hands

The wickedness is too much on us d student,na we dey feel d pain,Asuu go collect their money las las buh we d student na in a rush we go do ezam,whether we fail or not e no consign dem AsuuStrikeUpdate Abuja

Yes they are building a relationship in time so that when Nigeria is divided, they can then join Niger and become one country, shame unto them.

Lmao

why was the NUGA game still on while ASUU on strike.

The slap they need is coming

Priorities...

'Misplaced Priority' No Go Kill Us For This Country!

What type of fulani ppl is ruling Nigeria this time. Half of fulani ppl sitting govt officials has no experience,no school certificate, using fake school certificate.buhari Built railways for another country, gift $1M to Taliban yet schools in his country,teachers not paid.Enough

That's your jealous. Please behave like schoolers not politicians

MaziBukky Good morning sir!!!

So that their fellow land grabbers would come to join them.

ChimamandaBiaf1 Enjoying the dividend of your One Nigeria. Why are you complaining? You are stronger and better together...

They even gave $1 million to Afghan

Again, I repeat, expect Yoruba people to have the stupidest tweets in the comments and be the biggest advocates of this failed Buhari regime. Sigh!

Desert Economists

Educating Nigerians is the least of his priorities.

And also donated $1m to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Talibans 😡

It's unfortunate that, ASUU has become very pedestrian. There's nothing intellectual, intelligent or innovative about them anymore. A Lifetime of Strikes has made the Association meaningless.

And gave $1m to the Taliban

Person wey no go university and still became the president of a country, how would he value a university.. U have forgotten when u were shouting sai baba. U cant eat your cake and have it.

I see no reason why north and south should still live together, because we don't think a like. They hate education, yet they are ruling. Its not sad. It will never be well with Lord Luggard.

It's a solid case of misplaced priorities. If Arewa feel closer to NIGER than NIGERIA, let them cut off from the south and leave this country of those of us that are interested.

OfficialAPCNg o ni sorire

You stampeded government into signing an agreement in 2009 and you foolishly celebrated. Now government is owing you 8 years areas and you insist they pay you, how on earth is government going to get the money to pay. Universities should be given complete autonomy.

How can a guy with no elementary school certificate herdsmen a president and professor of law errand Market boy obedient fool. Some fools are still telling people go and get your pvc 2023 ELECTION. Nigeria is the power of the fulanis we are not Nigerians. ONE NIGERIA IS SCAM

I can't blame buhari i blame the people who claims to be educated intelligent big grammar no common sense. University of transportation in daura and train link to MARADI NIGER for buhari to see his family. Buhari is not stupid you guys who are claiming to be a Nigerians are fools

Senselessness

Why are you guys sounding like opposition political party instead of ASUUNGR. I smell a rat here.

And I thought ASUU is full of professors 🤦🏽

But com to think of this if ASUU need FG to pay them, why are we paying school fees

Mad people everywhere

Hit them hard 😂😂

This sound more like opposition political parties, shows ASUU_NGN is working with them rather than the nation. How you liken borrowing for economic goods to social(consumption) goods left much to desire about this body sincerity of purpose.

It's Amaechi's lobby for presidential ticket. Amana Daura!

Buhari is for Nigeriens and not Nigerians. He knows his roots, what a careless government we have in Nigeria. There's no one yo be held accountable for anything that's why we keep seeing rubbish

Quality education is solution to our national crisis. So F.G should do the needful.

Buhari has uncle from Niger dat why no vex

Niger is the ancestral home of Nigeria leaders.

Not a good examples.. The fact they signed off $1M to Ukraine shows these leaders are most likely deaf and blind to the agonies of the people

That is what we call misplace priority.

If they can do that, then they can do your demand, just press as hard as you can

Baba e get how una go carry this matter, the support wey una dey find una no go see am again.

And when the Bridge was built from cross river to Cameroon where were you, in Jupiter? No fuming

Glad many people are learning digital skills and abandoning school

Wtf is this comparison meant for?

😄😄😄😄😄

So ASUU don't know that the funding of kano-maradi railing is being funded by china? This is why I keep saying this people must just leave university and join politics.

I think This ASSU are fighting for their pocket. Why did they resume strike All this years after knowing the FG will not Oblige, they gave them small money they shared with their board members and shut up.

Ok let FG sell railway and settle ASUU?

Propaganda wont solve d problem, ASUU shd be innovative in solving this mess, come out with self funding programme, western wrd dont fund uni 100%, Innovateless Asuu produces innovateless graduates, ex Jamb boss was complaining no money while he was busy stealing billions.

dallasvenn This people no value school again 🧏🏾‍♂️

Bahuri and his APC team will collapse the entire education system in Nigeria before leaving office by June last year.

Very bad

Construction of revenue generating rail network from P/Harcourt via Lagos, Kano to Niger Rep. at the expense of educational facilities i.e. Human Capital Dev't implies that these leaders & their defenders are BONEHEADS, IGNORAMUSES. It's a pity.

Chai🤦 what a country!.

See the brains of those teaching our children.

No be lie ooooo

Buhari has donated 2 million USD in less than 1 month. I have not seen any leader as terrible as the man.

What exactly are the demands of Asuu, that FG can't pay

But the professors in the ivory towers rig election for politicians. Same for buhari's election. Why complaining?

That’s where buba’s ancestors are from

People wey no go university, you want them to care about universities….no be juju be that

Misplaced priorities... Later the train will be detailing or go moribond!

That shows you that apc doesn't consider education rather terrorist support structures are their no one agenda.

Since the day they built the railway I have known that our leaders don't have brains they are senseless empty brain is ruling us what did you expect from them

The institutions should be shut down till asuu demands are fulfilled. I stand with asuu on this. If u see the primary and secondary schools now u will understand. They don’t want the university system to die like that. If possible dey should lock throughout this year thank you

You want them to borrow money from china to pay you? Are you income generating? How do you borrow against a non income generating liability

Federal government is deceitful

ASUU is more corrupt than the Nigerian Police and Politicians add together. Why are they afraid of providing a digital record of their members so that the govt will know who they are paying?

Asuu strike is a scam

What is even wrong with our government

Why do we need a train going to Niger when there is no train going from north to southern Nigeria

U're lazy just taking advantage of govt failure all sectors are going through dsame imagine if they strike like u what's left d govt shld scrap public uni & support poor students pay fees etc

Railway is infrastructure better if they narrate their medical tourism tax- payer expense

Pls continue we are learning alot from home

Even ASUU sef no get head, just see the problem that will arise between them, NASU and SSANU after funds av been released. Na scam

It's all about priorities, there is always money and if there isn't, then there is access to borrow too. The truth is that giving Nigerian populace quality Education is not one of their priorities.

Built or want to build... This is serious o!

ASUU should just get out, they are a fraudulent union, when election comes the Profs will participate and also collect bribe forgetting that's when they are supposed to be on strike and bar all their members from participating in election till all their demands are met

OGA rest your case and go back to the classroom, if your salaries and allowances were been held them it would have been substantial. You just talking about Asuu what about Nasu, polytechnics and colleagues of educations

ASUU is not accountable to FG, they are not interested in delivering quality education to our children, it's all activism. For the leadership of ASUU to ask the benefits of a railway line to the Niger Republic has said it all. They mean no good.

Beheaded and painful government, Since it was installed, Several times meeting are being stored with Asuu, But no any promises was fulfilled, Very pain indeed.

So because of federal government built rail to Niger,na him make you people to stop innocent children from finish their education on time. Shame on you people.

Nowhere like home

Una mumu no too much? When people were complaining about it did you people speak ? Because they've reneged on the agreement they had with ASUU , it's now you know that they constructed railway to Niger

But PMB does not have cousins in Nigeria varsities; what he has are fellow countrymen and countrywomen - people who don't share bloodline with him. But he has cousins in Niger Republic: He has kith and kin there who just must be aided with rail lines and superhighways.

Some thing is fishing about this issue of railway down to Niger Republic

See the brains of our teachers. You don't need to look further to know the source of our problems

Mispriority by buhari and his govt.

To manipulate election,tell me how will they respect them now.

Don't mind the cows. They are Boko Haram. They hate education.

So this man isn't happy government will construct railway line to Niger,Asuu are the cursed of their problem the way they behave themselves during election, that's why politicians they'll not respect them bcos they turned them to their boys,give them ordered

Niger na him mother land sorry sir

😒😪

Have you used it to Niger?

U are right sir... Useless project

Misplaced priority

Abbaadam1978 At least fast thinking people should by now understand the importance of road network btw countries from this Ukraine saga

We don’t have federal government but federal liars and thieves

They are just fooling themselves

Help me tell them

Abbaadam1978 So make them pack all the money give una... Una wahala too much abeg.

No be today, here is an headline from a newspaper on 1981

That one would build the economy and provide jobs to millions of Nigeria than university that produces unemployable graduates

Ifb

ASUU strike should be banned in Nigeria.. If ASUU want’s to protest, they should mobilise & shut down Aso Rock/National Assembly. Our schools must NEVER be closed.. Boko Haram Almagiri Republic of Nigeria.. Wake up, wise up.

I wish I know the economic benefit of the train to desert.

But Buhari have told you all that he's from Niger Republic. Why the fuming.

Nothing but the truth, buhari government has done alot of damages to this country

Both ASUU and FG una dey mend

Dump

What did you expect from those who wear Layered clothing in 50 degrees centigrade heat?

Seriously! MBuhari really needs urgent medical examination. The whole presidency needs it

they gave $1m to food organization.

Inside life oti di five alive

Anybody that hail from North side,doesn't really believe in education but if all university in Nigeria can switch to cow barn........APC brought bad luck into Nigeria

Husband wey no wan give im Wife money go say money no dey but somebody dit dey on im payroll on a steady.

These ASUU people are now beginning to sound like the villains in this whole saga.

Why left our education sector to rot in the hand of mediocres?

Small time now you all will call off strike and resume work again and after another 5 to 6 months again, you call for strike, can't you people stop compromising and fight for what you're demanding for once and for all ?

This ASUU will not kill me,join IPPIS then we move on...😆😆🤭

Ur biz. Sai baba 🤣😂🤣
