Asuu strikes again | A way out for Nigerian students.

(Edited)

Year-in year-out, the news that gets on the front page about our educational system makes me convinced that those in positions of authority do not care about the sector anymore. It's usually one problem or another. If you know what is happening to our educational sector, I'm sure it will no longer come as a surprise if the sector become completely washed up, like a whale on a beach.

The things going on in this sector are a lot but the apex of them all has to be the endless strike action. There is barely any Nigerian graduate within the last decade that didn't experience strike action in Uni. It makes you wonder why the root of all these problems can't be taken care of once and for all.


This year's strike action may well be the worst.

20220509_162703_0000~2.png

Most of this year has been spent at home by many Nigerian students because of a strike action which started in February 2022. It was said to be a warning strike but after four weeks, it was extended to another 3 months. News reaching us today is that this same strike will have to continue again for another 3 months. This warrants that students will be spending February to August at home. And, we are not sure of what will happen at the end of this new extension. They may well write off 2022 from the academic calendar.

The contrast between how our educational system has been within the last decade and how it is in a more decent part of the world is like night and day. Our educational system keeps getting worse after each year. Like a biscuit falling in a sea of tea, the sector is melting down and more people are beginning to see our educational system as a joke.

I read some comments from people who say that the educational sector is the worst sector of Buhari's regime and I found it so funny because we've already had more than 5 worst sectors of this regime. It's no surprise that our government are getting the sticks for their actions and inaction. The country is already in all kinds of mess.


What's the way out for students?

Whenever ASUU strikes, the Academic Staff Union of Universities usually holds endless meetings with the Feds. In most cases, each meeting leads to more. They just run down the clock and adjourn till further notice.

If you are a student and you are waiting for them to call off strike within a week or a month, let history teach you that it won't always be as quick as you expect. I dunno if we have many Nigerian students on here, but if you know any of them, do well to inform them that this isn't the time to cross their legs.

You'd be surprised to see that many of these students don't even sweat for a whole day because all they do is sleep and eat.

If you know someone like that, you can start by walking them through Hive. They will thank you later.

Lol... That is it. You can imagine how people will be feeling about this especially those that use school as an excuse to collect tax from their parents. Hehe. They surely have to be gutted after hearing of this extension.

It's a very negative news, but people are taking it as an opportunity to grow in other areas. I'm sure you will make the best use of their strike. Hehe. Enjoy ✌️.

I so pity them, I know one actually 😂 God help her find something to do since she refused to work on Hive.

I'll just keep growing my account until they get tired and remind me that I have a certificate to take from my school 😏

Lol... That's Double. I experienced strike 2 or 3 times while studying a 4 years course. It wasn't funny at all.

It is sad that these authorities do not consider the masses in their thirst to throw their weight around. And it doesn't help that the students in question are okay with this development.

That's the reality we all have to face. We are from a country where things are getting worse and nothing can be feasibly done to make it right.

The students are swallowing this hard pill and most schools will end up rushing through syllabus in order to catch up with others. Jamb is currently going on. I wonder when these ones will enter Uni. Some people that got admitted post-Covid19 just did Matriculation this January and they are currently at home due to strike.

We are already in all sorta mess in the Country.

Very very sad the state of Nigerian University education with all this strike action. I don't know how those poor students cope. This is just creating a massive issue for education and employment in Nigeria because it will just snowball and then create a concertina effect because final year students cant graduate so they stay...all years below can't move up because of insufficient teaching resources,....no space for new students...so what do they do? I do hope there is some form of permanent resolution coming Kene. !PIZZA !ALIVE

We can try to hope for something better to happen, but history has shown that stuff only get worse over here. We are already in all kinda issue by merely living in this country. Haha. Now, our educational sector is becoming messed up. It's insane!

I wonder how these students would be able to go toe to toe with their counterparts in other part of the world.

The more I observe what's going on in our educational sector, the less I see.

It's quite unfortunate that the whole thing is getting worst and our government neglects this important sector that means alot to the young ones.

Its high time undergraduates wake up from their deep sleep/their waiting room and grab an opportunity like Hive or any other means of adding value to their lives. Time is everything and should not wasted.

Exactly. Many graduates out there are still struggling to get a decent job. Students are just being students without getting to learn the necessary things in their course of study. Jambites are also waiting to get into university but they can't get in until those already in first year get into second year.

Everything is twisted at this stage and we are in an entangled cycle.

Those that are aware of Hive can benefit so much from being here. While they earn and improve their writing skill, it will also keep their brain sharp and ready to get back to academic activities whenever this whole strike stuff is over.

It's actually so sad that the country isn't bothered about the education of her youth. Why not give these people what they want so the strike will be called off?.. It's well

My only advice to Nigeria students is to go find something to do. Hive is a very good option but sadly, not many of them want to write to make a living.

Exactly. Everything can be settled if they really want to settle it. But they don't value education. After all, all their kids are enjoying the best quality of education in more decent countries. This shows the type of negligence we all have to face in this country.

Hive is an opportunity for everyone. Of course, those that want quick money will overlook the long term impact Hive can have. I hope these students make the best use of this period. !PIZZA

They should just pass a law that says the children of all politicians must school in Nigeria. I believe if such law is passed, we won't be having any issue like strike anymore because they won't wnay their children to pass through this suffering. It's well.. I hope things change for the best soon..

It´s really disheartening to see my country not having a way forward with this strike, they are delaying students and they aren´t concerned about that since most of their children are studying abroad. It´s really so sad but students need to wisen up and start doing something to earn a living. Hive and other blogging platforms could be a saving grace for them and if they have other skills, they should start their journey making money for themselves.

Yeah. Those that want to make good use of their time are expected to use the skill and resources at their disposal to do things that will help move their life forward.

It is really sad to think about the academic sector we have in this country

Not only the academic sector but all sectors are just going by with no definite resolution about the way forward

It's so sad

The only thing they are thinking of is how to steal money and use it to buy favours and votes during election. Everyother thing is not important and they don't feel disturbed about it.

That's a very shameful thing.

Everyday new candidate picks a form sold at 100million and yet there is no money to settle ASUU

It's really sad
