ASUU strike – It’s obvious Wike and Okupe don’t know what they’re doing says Kayode Komolafe

It is sad to imagine the thought-process that would lead any one in   government to make the sort of statements coming out of Abuja on the ASUU strike in this day and age.
It was indeed a spectacle watching education minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, on television last week as he issued an ultimatum to university teachers on strike to resume work today or lose their jobs. The combative tone of the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, as he defends the national scandal is even more horrifying.  These hawks in Abuja want to sack university teachers en masse and place advertisements to replace them just like that! To ensure a smooth operation of breaking the strike government is reportedly planning to draft police to the campuses. To imagine that this is the government’s strategy for resolving the crisis bedeviling education sector! And this is happening in 2013 Nigeria in which the President and Commander-in-Chief holds a Ph.D. from a Nigerian university.
Is the matter as simple as these combatants in power are putting it in a reckless display of arrogance of power?  Wike and Okupe are, perhaps, not conscious of the fact that they are dealing with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the best organised and most disciplined union in the land and an exemplar of internal democracy. Those bent on humiliating ASUU should ask their predecessors in government who worked for military regimes for lessons of history on how not suppress ASUU’s agitation for a reform of the university system. ASUU has proved to be consistent and rational in its approach.
Nothing less, of course, should be expected from an organisation of intellectuals.
Meanwhile, we should be worried about the mindset of these presidential aides as we think seriously about the crisis of public education. This sort of official response to a crisis is a great disservice to policy and that is putting it mildly. Those appointed into public offices to serve the people have no moral basis to talk down on the same people in the manner these gentlemen are carrying on in Abuja.
It is sad to imagine the thought-process that would lead any one in   government to make the sort of statements coming out of Abuja on the ASUU strike in this day and age. Is any one in Abuja bothered about the full implications of such a statement for the university system that is already in a poor condition? Here, we are talking of a system that is yet to recover from the debilitating effects of decades of continuous brain drains!
It was clear that the overwhelming majority of the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) were simply going to ignore Wike’s threat. Although the ultimatum was extended yesterday till next Monday, the minister’s demeanour on that unfortunate occasion should make any rational observer feel distressed about the future of the education sector. Doubtless, asking Wike to supervise the education ministry is a measure of how seriously President Goodluck Jonathan takes the sector.  No nation that is serious about developing a knowledge economy will permit officials talking down on those responsible for the production of knowledge in the manner Wike spoke on that day.  By the way, it is important to note that it has been alleged that this tough-talking minister was even absent during the hours when some of the crucial agreements were reached in the 13 –hour meeting the President had with ASUU.
In an egregious amplification of Wike’s threat, Okupe has described the strike as “an evil design”, “a subversion” and “ a calculated treacherous plot”. He has elected to reserve the roughest edges of his tongue for the university teachers especially their union leaders. When reminded that the government’s posture amounted to intimidation of ASUU, Okupe retorted: “who is the ASUU president that President Jonathan would intimidate?” And for effect, he was particularly harsh on the president of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Issa-Fagge.  Okupe accused Issa-Fagge of disrespect to Jonathan by refusing to call off the strike after a long meeting with the President of the Federal Republic. Okupe spoke as if Jonathan did Issa-Fagge a favour by meeting with ASUU. In the view of Okupe,  “no child watching the ASUU president would see him as a role model”.
Yet all Issa-Fagge has done is to lead a protest to draw attention to the decay in the university system caused by decades of official neglect and which no one has denied. It does not matter to Okupe that Issa-Fagge and many of his colleagues have their own children in the same universities paralysed by the strike unlike some government officials who can afford to pay for the education of their wards in foreign universities.
Furthermore, the medical doctor-turned propagandist has wondered: “what do they take the government to be?” and that “government cannot fold its hands” while ASUU continues with the strike. You wonder if those in power are super humans. Pray, are those in government more than fellow citizens who for now have the huge responsibility for governance?  To justify the sack threat, Okupe borrows a most inappropriate historical parallel: President Ronald Reagan sacked air traffic controllers in the United States in 1981 at the expiration of an ultimatum. So, should the anti-labour stance of an extreme right-wing government in the US over 30 years ago be the model for Jonathan in resolving the crisis crippling the university system in the Nigeria of 2013?  The passing reference he made to the tragic death of Professor Festus Iyayi is even more chilling to ponder.
The funeral activities to honour the memory of the patriot and former president of ASUU begin today, the day Wike’s ultimatum should have expired but for the extension.  Iyayi was killed by the convoy of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State while he was travelling to Kano to attend an ASUU meeting on the resolution of the five-month old strike. In response to this tragic coincidence, Okupe said that ASUU should not continue with the crisis “because somebody died” without even mentioning Iyayi’s name! Now, this is utterly insensitive. It cannot be a decent culture of conducting public affairs in the name of a President.
Ironically, the President himself has sounded more conciliatory in this matter than those who speak for him. Former Bayelsa Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseiga pleaded with the President in Yenagoa at the weekend to note the sensitivity of the deadline expiring today, which is also the beginning of the rights of passage for Iyayi.  Although the President also unfortunately accused ASUU of

Housewife Slumps And Dies Of Exhaustion After Marathon SeX With Lover

A mother of three identified as Mrs Ijeoma Ifebunwa collapsed and died from exhaustion after marathon s*x rounds of s*x with lover on her matrimonial bed.
According to report, 30-year-old Mrs Ifebunwa invited her new boyfriend, Okechukwu Ani to her one-room apartment at Akubor Nnewichi, Nnewi, Anambra state to come spend the night with her.
It was gathered that the lover arrived the house by 9pm but left and returned by 11pm when the woman’s children had gone to bed.
The agreement was that that he would pay N1,500, being part- payment of the agreed sum of N2,000 for the romance, and pay the balance of N500.00 the following day.
After the marathon s*x which lasted which lasted till 4.30 a.m., the woman became exhausted with pains and started yelling for help and slumped in the process. Her screaming attracted her daughter Miss Oluebube, and the landlord of the house, who rushed to the room immediately and forced the door open.
The woman was found on the floor completely exhausted, while her lover, Okechukwu, attempted escaping through the window but he was caught by the landlord of the house who grabbed his legs and pulled him back to the room, and was thereafter handed over to the vigilante group of Abubor Nnewichi, who later handed him to the police.
Mrs Ifebunwa later regained consciousness when the police arrived at the scene. She informed them that her husband worked somewhere outside Abubor Nnewichi, afetr she which she collapsed again and gave up the ghost.
Speaking on the incident, the landlord, Mr Micheal Okeke, said that the deceased screaming woke him up from sleep, and that he had to break the door, and found the woman on the ground unclad with her lover in pains and groaning while lover boy held her.

paul walker death-why he died

The L.A County Coroners Office have revealed how Paul walker died. They say he was mortally wounded in the crash on Saturday November 30th, but was still alive. According to the report, he was burned alive. And the only way they could positively identify him was through dental records. This is such a horrible way to die. It's also been revealed that his friend was driving 90mph in a 15mph zone
From TMZ
    Paul did not die from the impact of the crash alone. He burned to death after the Porsche GT crashed into a tree and a pole and exploded into flames.
    The man who was driving the Porsche GT, Roger Rodas, died from multiple traumatic injuries suffered upon impact. Burning was not listed as a factor in his death.
    Sources in the coroner's office say both men were positively ID'd by using dental records.
See the first photos of Paul's longtime girlfriend since the accident.

Ghanaian singer, Sister Deborah
Lol. At first it was a lady who stepped out at a Nigerian party, then Toolz spotted one in Soweto, and Ghanaian singer, Sister Deborah stepped out almost nude at the Channel O awards, now it’s Tamar Braxton. She wore the outfit you will see below to the Soul Train Awards on Sunday. Indeed there's a new era of fashion.
