ASUU STRIKE AND THE HOLIDAY EFFECT.

While it is no longer news that the Academic Staff Union of  Universities and the Federal Government have become stale mates, the strike took a new twist when the Acting Minister of education Nyesom Wike gave a standing order, commanding the lecturers of all federal universities to go back to the class room by December fourth or risk losing their jobs as their offices would be declared vacant. This order stirred mixed feeling from both the lecturers and students alike. On the one hand, the disgruntled lectures took a firm stand to disobey such and order describing it as a military order, while on the other hand, students who have rather become home sick hope the injunction would be obeyed. Considering the positives and the negatives, the ongoing strike has changed the calendar of virtually all students in all ramifications. While some have taken to entrepreneual programmes such as soap making, baking, styling, designing, others have taken to certificate programmes. The worst affected by the ongoing feud between ASUU and FG are the cream chicks or better put "RUNS GIRLS" who out of frustration are no longer able to renew their BIS, change dps featuring sugar daddies, update status with words like; Abj on point, Lagos on my mind, Calabar here I come, etc. Even as at the time I compiled this write up, there seemed to be no light at the end of the seemingly dark tunnel. ASUU on one hand have vowed not to go to the class room except the agreement reached with the FG is put on paper, FG on the other hand is relying on its might by forcefully asking the lecturers to go back to the classroom. The 5 months old strike was embarked upon on July 1st 2013. More details later.
