Resumption saga: ASUU or FG, who's to be blamed

 There have been controversies pertaining to the reason why there is delay in the resumption of academic activities for universities. The war between ASUU and Nigerian government seems to be an unending one. Issues and disagreement are always arising between them.



An African proverb says “when 2 elephants fight, the grasses around suffers most”.

The proverb is highly applicable to the dispute between the Academic staff union of universities and Federal government.



It's been 7 months since academic activities were suspended indefinitely as a result of the widespread of Corona virus though ASUU was already engaged with indefinite strike before the lockdown. With situations on ground, schools are eligible to resume academic activities but ASUU said that resumption won't proceed until the government attend to their demands.



The government on its side isn't taking any bold step to ensure they attend to ASUU so that academics will resume Successfully.

This disagreement between ASUU and the government is having more negative effect on students. They're earnestly awaiting resumption but it's a pity that there expectations are always being quenched by the actions of the government and Academic staff union of universities.

The most concerned students have started a protest. The protest created 2 parties among the students

  1. The ones blaming ASUU for their inability to consider the federal government and resume academic activities then continue their dispute resolution.
  2. The ones blaming the federal government for being stone-hearted towards granting ASUU their wish even though they're capable.

ASUU on its side have pleaded with students to bear and cooperate with them because watever they (ASUU) do is for their (student's) benefit. ASUU went further to say that if not for them, the government won't care about Nigerian education system.

In a situation like this, whom is to be blamed? ASUU or FG

What JAMB Score Do I Need To Gain Admission?

With many candidates having seen their JAMB results, the question they are now asking is the possibility of gaining admission to their desired school and course of choice with their score; especially those that scored below 200. I have received many questions like, “My score is 150, 160, 170, 180, Can I get admission in so so school?” This post is to address your questions. I will make it easy and straight forward to understand. JAMB score alone does not really guarantee admission. Your admission will also depend on your school of choice and course as well as other admission factors. I have seen candidates that scored well above 200 but ended up not gaining admission and I have equally seen candidates that scored below 180 and yet secured admission. Assuming your JAMB score is 200 and you chose a school like UNILORIN, UNIBEN or UNILAG to study a competitive course (like engineering, medicine, computer science, Law etc) you should consider changing either the school or the course r...

Student's fate after lockdown

It's been 5 Months since schools were indefinitely shut down as a result of the outbreak of Corona virus pandemic. Students were forced to move back to their homes while many others living off campus might have stayed back No academic activity has been on board all these while though attempts were made to enhance e-learning but all failed as a result of one problem or another such as poor network coverage and inavailability of required devices. Almost everyone thought that the virus spreading would be controlled in no distant time but all were wrong. Little did they know that the virus will migrate from being an epidemic to a pandemic. This frustrated many students since most weren't prepared for such long vacation from school. Properties were left in school including books to be read. Students were left choiceless as many have swept the idea of schooling away from them, while others started a part-time job, others are now into trading and skill acquisition. The idea of s...
