ASUU STRIKE: REMEMBERING THE ADMINISTRATION OF UMARU MUSA YAR’ADUA

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has been on a strike since the last few weeks over the non implementation of the 2009 agreement reached with the federal government. The federal government has constantly maintained that the agreement reached in 2009 is not implementable.

If an agreement that was reached over nine years ago cannot be implemented in 2018, it then literally means that we were better as a country in 2009, it also shows that Yar’adua was indeed the hero of modern development in Nigeria. The present administration is enjoying a sweet sale of the oil in Niger Delta today because Yar’adua brought peace to that region; he created the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs which the present administration has completely neglected.

The 2009 agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU is implementable if the government sees the importance of education to the development of a nation. The kind of money that is given to INEC to conduct an election that the result is well known by some political gladiators could have been divided into two (one to ASUU, the other half for INEC) if our leaders value the future of the children of this country.

The   government want to maintain their old long tradition of given Nigerians poor education to keep them perpetually poor, that is the only reason why an agreement reached by a good man in 2009 cannot be implemented in 2018 after about nine years.

A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...

WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.
