ASUU to meet FG again on strike!!!
ASUU President, Prof. Biodun OgunyeThere are indications that the Academic Staff Union of Universities may meet with the Federal Government this week over the ongoing strike by the union.
The ASUU strike which started on Sunday, August 13, 2017 was announced by its National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, at a meeting of the National Executive Council of the union in Abuja.
It was learnt on Sunday that the union would present its position to the government on the offers made by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, during their meeting on August 17, 2017 in Abuja.
A source explained that the ASUU meeting, which held on Saturday at the University of Abuja, discussed whether to suspend the strike on the basis of the offers made by the government.
The FG had during the meeting with ASUU leadership in Abuja offered to pay N23bn and a monthly payment of N1.5bn pending the outcome of the forensic audit being carried out by the Ministry of Finance.
It could not be immediately ascertained if the money had been paid as promised by the government.
Our correspondent gathered that over 80 per cent of the union members across the country voted that the strike should continue until the government fulfilled its part of the bargain.
The source said, “The ASUU meeting which held last Saturday at UniAbuja discussed the offers made by the government and whether the strike should be called off on the basis of the offers made by the government.
“It was decided that ASUU might seek an audience with the government this week to negotiate further concessions before the strike is called off.”
The ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, could not be reached for comment as he did not respond to calls and SMS to his phone.
Meanwhile, The PUNCH gathered on Sunday that university lecturers who were employed after 2010 would not benefit from the N23bn Earned Academic Allowances released by the Federal Government.
A source in ASUU in the South-West, who did not his name in print, said that lecturers engaged after 2010 would not be beneficiaries.
The source said, “There was an ASUU NEC meeting held on Friday in Abuja. Our zonal chairmen would be briefed on the outcome of deliberations on the NEC meeting particularly on the N23bn which was offered by the Federal Government.
“The about nine zones of ASUU will be meeting on Monday (today) to brief their members on the outcome of their deliberations concerning the ongoing strike over the 2009 agreement by the Federal Government.
“Top on the agenda to be discussed includes the N23bn which the government had recently agreed to pay. The N23bn is the arrears of 2009 and 2010. So, anybody that was employed after 2010 may not even benefit from it because that person did not earn it. The money is called Earned Academic Allowance, so you must have worked for the money and earned it. “The money is just like overtime and it is paid for somebody that had done that work, not the normal working hours. It is earned and (exclusively) for 2009 and 2010. The Federal Government made an offer and collected views from all branches as to what they will do concerning the N23bn offer

“I Dropped Out At TASUED When My Parents Could Not Pay My School Fees” – Olamide
Popular hip-hop act, Olamide Adedeji, also known as Badoo has said that he dropped out of school but he was able to make it in life by discovering his talent and through dint of hard work.
He also identified discipline, commitment and being focused as catalysts for achievements in life.
Olamide said these on Friday when he went as a special guest of honour at the Summer camp organised by the Ogun State government at Akin Ogunpoola Model College, Akinale in Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
The musician said he was determined to succeed in life against all odds, given the stark reality that his parents were poor, and were not able to pay his school fees at the higher institution.
He said, “I am from Ogun State here, I do not joke with my culture and language, in fact, I came from a poor background. I had to drop out of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu Ode, when it was getting difficult for my parents to pay my school fees.
“However with doggedness, perseverance and hard work I was able to find myself where I am today.”
He urged the pupils at the camp to always dare to be different and avoid unnecessary peer pressure.
Earlier in his brief introduction of the guest to the campers, the state Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun advised the young boys and girls to be diligent, hardworking and be consistent in whatever they do.
Amosun who was represented by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye advised them to strive for the best in their academic pursuit.

TChidi Chikere’s buddy blast him for abandoning wife for Nuella Njubigbo
So it’s no longer news that actress Nuella Njubigbo has decided to marry Tchidi Chikere who is still very married to his wife and mother of 3 sons Sophia.

She accuses Nuella of using black voodoo on Tchidi; says Nuella is a froggy looking cheap public toilet, a cheap merry go around flipped and dumped by a certain governor. She says Tchidi’s late dad would not have approved of the union had he still been alive. ..:) Well Nuella already made it clear she’s at peace with her decision. I dunno what difference this will make. See Bianka’s tweets after cut…

Shocking !!! 14-year-old Boy Stabs Father to Death because he doesn’t want to go to school!
A 14-year-old male at an internet café in Hunan, China reportedly stabbed his father to death following a dispute stemming from the boy’s refusal to go to school.
The incident occurred on February 18 at internet café in Xinhua county of Hunan province.
The teenager allegedly had a conflict with his dad, who arrived at the café to persuade him to go to school. Enraged, the teenager took out a dagger and stabbed his father, who died on the spot.
Internet cafés in China have been linked to several death and murder cases in the past couple of years, including the disturbing case of a 24-year-old Guangdong man who murdered his girlfriend then spent the entire night playing games at an internet café, and that of a Hunan teen who recently stabbed and robbed a woman before retreating to a café to post online that it ‘went really well’.
While some have blamed “gaming obsession” and “internet addiction” as reasons for the various deaths, the perpetrators in most cases acted out of circumstances with prior context.
