ASUU STRIKE

 ASUU STRIKE : As ASUU went for strike , now it is exactly 5 months as students who are studying at the public Varsities left at home , while those children with the golden spoons at mouth who are at the private Varsities and abroad are in schools .

ASUU strike: Buhari needs to quit right away

 ASUU strike: Buhari needs to resign right away Nigeria president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) Over the years, Nigeria has experienced malfunctions caused by not just insurmountable obstacles, but also intentional ones that were deftly weaved into a web of roadblocks by some domineering individuals whose goal it is to pillage the nation. These are the foes that the good Lord has purposefully positioned to ambush the peace, growth, and rapid progress of our beloved nation.
