5 Solid Reasons Why ASUU Might Not Cancel The Strike

Week in, week out, Nigerian students
want to hear this good news: Hurray!
ASUU has called off the strike.
Especially the final year students.
We hear of an ASUU meeting every Friday night but nothing
positive comes out of it, the strike still continues.
Buhari came back, they have not canceled it, Osinbajo will lead
FG’s delegation, still yet nothing.
However, it seems these lecturers just wants us to have a fun
time with this strike
I know would be mad at me for this article. But can’t you
see that there are just some reasons that are hidden from the
public.
Everyone has a skeleton, difference is where do you keep your
skeleton. See, the last indefinite strike was 6months. So, this
one promises to be bigger, better and more longer, trust me.
However, there might be reasons why ASUU hasn’t called off
the strike yet apart from the 2013 memorandum reasons they
gave.
These might be the reasons;
1. ASUU wants you to hustle and make
money:
If you are like me who hates collecting pocket money and wants
to be self-reliant, Voila! This ASUU strike is for us. Time to
take advantage. That’s how I saw one big girl in church
collecting “Owo offering”(offering money) in church yesterday.
Damn! And you call yourself “slay mama??”
See, this strike is a blessing in disguise for real-time hustlers.
Hustlers don’t sleep when others are sleeping. They work
throughout the night, they take a nap in the morning and wake
up later to continue their hustle.
Before you start thinking about “yahoo”, there are a lot of
jobs you can do.
ASUU wants the students to feel the pain of the working class,
whether it’s a factory job, sales girl, nanny. Just go and do
one. You can also work at the restaurant where you can help
them in washing plates. At least you’ll earn money.
2. ASUU what’s you to watch the 2018
World Cup at home:
So, I made the calculation, If ASUU cancels the strike by
December/January. We would resume in January and finish the
session by May. Wow, good news coupled with the 3 Months
break.
The World Cup runs from June to July. And since I love to
watch the World Cup with the whole fam, ASUU has made it
easier for me. It won’t be nice having exams on the day
Nigeria would be playing one big country, let’s say Brazil .
Some people will abandon their exams to watch that match.
Trust me.
3. ASUU wants students to learn a new
skill
A lot of students after every 2nd semester spend at least 3
months for the holiday. They do nothing. They stay at home.
Watch TV series, attend Owambe parties. ASUU knows. ASUU
also acknowledges that majority of the current crop of
graduates are unemployed. Still, students don’t want to be
self-reliant.
Every quarter the NBS(Nigerian Bureau of Statistics) release a
report of the economy, the inflation rate and the unemployment
rate. The unemployment rate keeps increasing majorly due to
company downsizing their workforce or SMEs folding up.
The Management students know this. But, most of them will
still post “slay” photos on IG, go to clubs/elegushi Beach on
Friday, Owambe parties on Saturday.
Peeps, this is the time to be productive. I, especially have
undertaken two online digital marketing courses with certificates
awarded. If you can’t learn a skill(maybe due to cost of
training), go online, there are free courses to learn, don’t
waste time!
4. ASUU wants you to learn from your
parents
This is for boys and girls who oversalt the food they give us
as cooler ministry. Use your data to watch some tutorial
videos. Learn how to cook sumptuous meals not just the regular.
Have you heard of fritata. Rack up knowledge during this
Strike, learn how to fix devices and appliances especially when
they get spoilt. And also for most of you who don’t like to
run errands for your parents, this is pay back time. ASUU is
trying to humble most of you and since you know God resist
the proud and give grace to the humble you better succumb.
5. ASUU wants you to Gain More
Experience Through Internship
Students at home, it’s not until you’re in 300L/400L or your
course doesn’t qualifies you for internship? Well, this ASUU
strike is a window of opportunity for you to gain more
experience by applying for internship at any firm. Just tell them
“I’m Johnny Bravo, a student of….seeking for internship at…”
Students at least if it is at IyaRisikat Boutique where you
would be a sales girl, please go and do it. It would add to
your CV. Please Take 10 Seconds To Share This Post With Your Friends
