THE GREEDINESS OF ASUU A LETTER TO ASUU        BY  Echekwu Sunday I don't want to write much on this so called ASUU and the Federal government issue because it doesn't really worth my time. But let me highlights these: DEAR ASUU, The harm you're causing is more than the good you think you are doing, if really you're fighting for Nigerians' students; it shouldn't be in this ugly way.  But to me, I see this as a blame-game and a way of cornering and seeking the public outcry and sympathy into  Organizational use when arrived. DEAR ASUU, I could remember vividly that, in Nigeria, we have States owned universities and federal owned universities. Why is it that, ASUU is so much concerned that, they could not allow the federal and States governments that instituted those schools to take care of the buildings and other social infrastructural developments? Are there no ministries in charge of that? What of the ministry of Education in both federal and states

Odiri was born on the 1st of October 1960 .  Republished by ECHEKWU SUNDAY She grew up in the United Kingdom with her parents, who passed away in a fatal road accident when she was 5. She had to grow up with her aunty in Coventry. Her aunt was married to a white man. She grew up with so much passion, and interest in African history. She focused so much on Nigeria, and when she was 28, she decided to move back to the most populous nation in Africa to trace her roots. Odiri, an epitome of true African beauty and brains, was already doing well for herself. She was a medical doctor in London, and her brainy nature earned her a high post at a reputable hospital with a short period. She was able to establish contact with one of her uncles in Nigeria. She planned to relocate to the country permanently and contribute her quota to the development of the health sector. Her uncle talked her into establishing a hospital in her home-town in the southern part of Nigeria. She kept on wiring funds t

ASUU and CONUA UPDATE . 10th 09, 2020. PUBLISHED BY ECHEKWU SUNDAY Jr .    With the gradual reopening of the school system across the country after months of closure due to the coronavirus pandemic, Federal Government-owned universities may be in for another round of controversy, as the two academic unions, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the Congress of University Academics, CONUA, are set for a test of strength. This is because the two unions have different views on how safe it is to reopen universities and other tertiary institutions across the country. ASUU’s position is that universities should not be reopened until some issues are resolved, while CONUA says it is ready for resumption. CONUA, a splinter group of ASUU, is coordinated by Dr Niyi Sunmonu and is active in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife; Ambrose Alli University, AAU, Ekpoma; Federal University, Oye Ekiti, FUOYE; Federal University, Lokoja, FUL, and Kwara State University, KWASU, Mal

REPUBLISHED BY ECHEKWU SUNDAY Enjoy the read.. “Before you go on a journey of revenge, dig two graves” – Confucius Fellow Nigerians, please, let me start this epistle with a tale I’m not sure I have ever told. On Sunday, November 9, 2008, I was at the Lagos Marina with some friends when my phone rang. And who was on the line? No other than the one and only Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, a man I call Uncle Adams for various reasons. He is about eight years older than me. We both come from the same Afenmai tribe of Edo State, though I’m much more affiliated and associated with the Yoruba people because of my birth in Ile-Ife, the cradle of civilisation, and the fact that my Mum is from Gbongan, a dozy town just a few kilometres from Ile-Ife. I have told the story of my Dad’s migration from Ihievbe, now in Owan East Local GovGovernment of Edo State, to finally settle in Ile-Ife, Osun State, possibly around 1944, like many restless men of his time. His decision to make his sojourn in Ile-If
