Congratulations to those who visit millennium park. My advice to them is to watch their back. Let them also open unity centre. It was designed for people to gather and air their views but has been under lock and key since Baba entered. Na only police men dey enter there
ReplyDeleteAre we sure ASSU will resume?
ReplyDeleteThese people are killing me. Imaging paying for house rent for about 160k and the person doesn’t stay there for up to 5 months before it expires. Same thing happened last year. Last year too. Now we have to start looking for a new house again when strike gets called off. Properties will be dropped outside and stolen because rent expired and students are not around to move in.
ReplyDeleteThis is becoming outrageous. My brother should be close to graduating or even graduated now but no, strike won’t let that happen. Person just dey waste money upandan. Tomorrow they will be looking for patriotism
Making 6months altogether, half a year doing nothing...there was a country
ReplyDeleteSo so bad news in this administration/government. Their time is up already and and even the earth on which they step on will never be at peace with them.
ReplyDeleteASUU will obviously be called off when the new government(Peter Obi) takes over. God abeg continue to keep us safe and sound AMEN.
ASUU should consider the leaders of tomorrow...alot of students are frustrated already and they no longer have interest in education anymore.
ReplyDeleteStudents frustrated, graduates frustrated, no jobs, when they finally try to employ, they keep age limit, like those of us aged 30 years and above should go and die
DeleteYou want lecturers who haven't been paid since march to consider "leaders of tomorrow", it wouldn't work that way.
