ASUU begins nationwide strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) yesterday Monday July 1st commenced indefinite nationwide strike. ASUU national president Dr Nasir Isa Fagge told newsmen yesterday that they are embarking on the indefinite strike because 'The Federal Government reneged in the Memorandum of Understanding MoU signed with ASUU in 2009 to pay lecturers their earn allowance.'
"The strike starts today (Monday) and it is going to last for as long as the Federal Government wants it. The Federal Government has refused to implement some of the issues contained in a 2009 agreement it had with us. What we are demanding as the earned allowance is not more than N12, 500 per person, yet government is saying it cannot afford such." Fagge said
According to Fagge, the Federal Government, in 2009, promised to pay lecturers N12,500 per month as earn allowance but never did. The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, are also on strike.

Weird question of the day...

Let me ask you guys a weird question. Hope no one would be offended by it. Someone just asked me and it took me a while to give an answer, so I thought to bring it here. Here's the question... Live a jet set life, have mansions in two different countries, own a private jet, wear only designer outfits, friends with presidents, captains of industries, celebrities, have more money than you know what to do with it...and then die at age 40. OR Live poor till you turn 30 years old and then become paralyzed from the waist down after a tragic accident. You will depend on others to take care of you for the rest of your life...you will still live poor but the best part is; you will live to the ripe old age of 80. Which would you choose?
