ASUU STRIKE:FACE THE TRUTH!
I'm of a strong believe that the only thing worthy of any government to
offer the youths of her nation is nothing but a standard education
built on a solid foundation which will in turn make them productive and
in the wise makes the nation great.However,here in Nigeria is as if our
leaders don't see anything good in creating a society of high intellects
among the youths.Not that they're
without the knowledge of what our education should be,but we must not be
a rocket scientist before we know that they're beclouded by their own
personal selfish ambition and will not mind sacrificing the future of
the nation on the altar of today's over-zealousness for political
pursuits.The effects of this lingering strike by the university workers
and the seasonal break in academic work by polytechnic lecturers cannot
be over-emphasized just as the varsity students have been sitting down
at home for more than 100 days now and many of them have been involving
themselves in illegal practices.
Female students have turned
prostitute on our high ways,Male students indulging in scandalous and
nefarious activities.And I asked,what do you expect? For a nation that
cannot provide a platform for the greatness of her students must always
be ready to see the devil face to face and reap the fruits of her
lackadaisical attitude towards education.Instead of admitting their
failure,they shift blame and judge every matter politically and this
shows the attitude of a failed government-blaming others all in the name
of political differences,believing that the opposition parties are the
one fuelling the actions of the body thereby increasing the life span of
the strike.Worst still,in their santuary of reasoning,in an attempt to
halt the strike they seek the intervention of the past leaders of which
former president Olusegun Obasanjo is included-who in himself cannot
claim to be a saint when it comes to embarking on industrial actions by
university workers during his administration.The problem of our leaders
is crystal clear,always beating about the bush,they know the way out of
this strike but'll not profer the solution to it because they love
holding the truth in unrighteousness.Knowing fully well that the demand
of ASUU remains the same and assume a constant value.Why dilly dallying
seeking for mediators then? All of these would not help out if we must
be realistic in our sense of thoughts.Unless they're ready to face the
truth of the matter,we'll only wander in the wilderness of foolishness.
On this note,it'll be wise to say that the perilious time which our
education sector is wallowing in does not need any stroke of magic to
squirm out of it,all that's needed is holding the truth in
righteousness.Since they do not declared from the onset that they cannot
make bricks without straw when signing the agreement,then they must
stand to accept how they 've failed in their responsibilities and stop
pointing accusing fingers which will and cannot help.
For knowing the truth,they will be set free.
