Why I am Solidly Behind ASUU Strikes.

 If you can notice any infrastructural Development in Nigerian public Universities today, it is because of the  continuous ASUU pressure.
For instance, our own Joseph Sarwuan Tarkaa University formerly, University of Agriculture Makurdi and the Benue State University respectively  were  more of a village secondary school. The  released of these funds under duress by the federal government  as a result of ASUU strikes over the years  has change the faces of these universities infrastructuraly.

ASUU remains among "fewer"unions in Nigeria that can "notoriously but reasonable knock the government on her balehead." If not, public universities would have suffered the same chaotic and dilapidated fate faced by public secondary and primary schools. 
ASUU is the only union in Nigeria that seems to have all the answers to the the unending lies, deceit, insincerity and cunning attitude of our leaders. Their efforts to create division within ASUU and decimate them has failed over time. They have over time attempted to starve university lectures of their salaries during strikes thereby creating evil and artificial economic hardships but failed.

In time past, we said "Ghana Must Go" signifing a failed system in their country. All of Sudden, Ghanian university system is better than ours such that Nigerians give Thanksgiving in churches for gaining admission in Ghana. What about South Africa, Malaysia, Finland, Philippines amongst others?

Indeed, ASUU is not your everyday union. It is a gathering of academic Doctors and Professors.  You can't ask these people to squat. If we are  to sacrifice today for a better future tomorrow, so be it. A system that is corrupt, unsystematic, chaotic and bias needs to be confronted with greater zeal and actions. The efforts of ASUU is worth recommending.

PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.

  The Muslim-muslim ticket by APC has generated lots of concerns and vociferous outrage from mostly Nigerians of southern region and perhaps the Northern christian minority.  I honestly do understand why some persons feel scared about it, however, I refuse to validate or consolidate that fear for some reasons. APC is just one party, we have other parties in Nigeria. One of the beauties of democracy is the availability of options. Crying over APC's candidates in the midst of other candidates questions our readiness to change the status quo or our capacity to make and accept informed decisions. There's only one major reason behind the Muslim-muslim ticket by APC; electoral victory.  Without a Muslim VP, the APC will lose significant votes from the North and probably lose the entire presidency. This is the fear and the reason for a Muslim VP. Don't let anyone beguile you to make it a religious problem, if you do, you will keep losing the big picture.  I'll n...
