Wake Up!

Never join money together with a handkerchief in the same pocket. I will explain when I finish trekking to my house.

Meanwhile, inside Naija...

And now to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.

Academic activities have been grounded in federal and state universities across the country following a strike by ASUU in February.

Operation Test Run

In respect to the extension of the warning strike by ASUU, NANS asked students across the country to ensure the roads are blocked daily for at least three hours until the Federal Government (FG) resolves its deadlock with the aggrieved lecturers. The mass action was tagged ‘Operation Test Run’.

According to NANS National Public Relations Officer, Victor Ezenagu;

We are poised at ensuring that our campuses are reopened and as such, the instruction has gone out to all the 36 states and the FCT calling on all our structures to begin (the mass action) immediately, starting from today, by barricading and blocking every federal road, every road leading to the airports, and ensuring they remain on the street for at least three hours every day until the Federal Government does something as regards to settling their impasse with ASUU for us to return to our campuses.

There shall be no primaries, there shall be no political activities if our future is not resolved if our future is not decided well if the issue concerning the Nigerian students is not resolved, because we cannot be talking about next elections, we should be talking about next generation.

The only thing I can say about this ASUU strike is that if the masses love themselves, then they should 'fight' the government with everything they have to make sure they fund tertiary education. And when I say everything, I practically mean everything.

In case you're not getting it, let me explain to you.

Both primary and secondary school education is in a come in this country, if not dead; if the government succeeds in doing the same to tertiary education, then you know the rest.

If you're a university student and all you've been doing since this strike started is play and laugh, don't feel bad that you're out of school; I hope that you soon realize the damage FG is doing to your life.

Okay, continue to listen to motivational speakers who milk you dry and tell you it doesn't matter when you graduate; life no be competition. Don't be intentionally foolish, those graduating at 20-21-22 don't have two heads. Companies, institutions, and even the government now place significance on your age to get employed. Wake up!

If you like continue to justify FG and ASUU saga with the 'who never fuck up hands in the air, no hands' ideology. They are practically ruining your life, in case you don't know.

Life is competitive. Whosoever tells you life is not a competition clearly does not understand life yet. What the strike is doing to you is making you less competitive to secure your dream job or live your dream life.

Don't let them steal your life away from your hands. Wake up!!
