WHO IS LOSING IT
Many gist on ASUU and the federal government got me thinking again, It's either ASUU or the federal government are in a state of confusion. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/12/met-asuu-demands-fg/
We did all think that by this time, the second semesters should be over even as a result of the ASUU strike but contrary to this, ASUU still held to their cross of sanitation, in making sure there is a near or perfect environment for students to learn, but it soon became obvious that ASUU lost it maybe, they lost it to greed of always wanting to be treated very importantly like people in the senate house, or they lost it to the fact that they know how corrupt our system is, the government has been promising and failing, any attempt of going back to school may make the government back out of responsibilities. I see ASUU and the federal government as a married couple, the government the husband and ASUU one of it's wife, where the husband has too many women in possession and decides to abandon but fails to forget her children are the special once, maybe. Remembers and decides to take responsibilities, she gets angry and decides that he meets a particular demand to win their love back, he may not love her but may strive to favour her because of tomorrows gains, the Nigerian Universities are not the only ones facing lapses, every damn government environment notice neglect and betrayal just like a man's wives and mistresses except for the special one, maybe the central bank who he can't do without.
My thought is strictly on the University system, as many lectures and school authorities are fed up of the on-going strike, ranging from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT) and few others who keeps receiving threats from ASUU, the truth remains that most lectures are missing their pupil, they can't stand not reading, not researching, not seeing young faces, and not sleeping with the young girls possibly especially not impacting knowledge, they are addicted to this routines, born for knowledge, you can't ask a hard worker to just sit and watch with good health when he knows that he can deliver, whichever way, we know it is for the children's good, some have thought of what becomes of the youths tomorrow, some good eggs still struggle for justice, even as the system keeps crumbling.
Is it that this few Universities are the bad eggs in ASUU, or there is something they aren't telling us, or should we call it a regional division? Whatever it seems, let ASUU tell us what remains the problem! Enough of waiting to get back to the classroom! Enough of going back to school without the zeal to learn because of frustrations, enough of stagnancy in our educational system, who is suffering this neglects? The youth, the next generation, our leaders and lecturers may not live forever, who will take over with poor or no educational background, what happens to the world when they leave? Or has selfishness made it so impossible for reason to stand?
We see confusion in ASUU, Newspapers keep feeding us with updates, what remains in us? Like the "weight man" will always ask in Igbo language, "Mara ihe foro gi na'ime" dear Nigeria, know what remains in you so both father and children may not crumble together as, "Troy passed away in one funeral gleam" Rose of the World (William B. Yeats)
