ASUU strike and President Jonathan- Issues Arising

Jonathan is saying there is no money to meet Asuu's
needs, yet it is common knowledge he secured a 1
billion dollars loan from China not long ago, on a daily
basis, Nigeria generates billions of naira from the sale
of crude oil alone ,yet no money to develop
infrastructure in our Universities, I heard our minister
of finance is harvard trained, well, the status quo of the
economy has not changed ever since she was
appointed, infact things are actually getting worst,
because if an economy as big as Nigeria's cannot give
800 billion naira to develop infrastructure in our public
universities then something is wrong with the handlers
of our economy, in a world were land mark researches
and discoveries are being conducted in universities all
over the world, ours over here have been reduced to
mere advanced primary schools, yet we have a leader
who claimed before the last election that he's a youth
and have the interest of the youths at heart, now we
know better. Initially, one might be angry with ASUU for
going on strikes too much, but really is there any other
option! Cos our leaders are insensitive to the plight of
the very ones who elected them into office, I was
shocked when I heard that at a time both universities
and polytechnics in the country were on strike, the so
called honourable minister of state for education led a
delegation of about 10 lazybodies and fellow idle
Men of his caliber to visit the rivers state house of assembly
member hit with a mace recuperating in a london hospital, I repeat when the universities
and polytechnics were on strike, how ridiculous can u
be! The minister of education who should be running helter skether to see that the strike debacle is resolved is busy globetrotting the world on insignificant courtesy visits. There are things we have refused to get right in
this country even though we know what to do, but we
are asked to pray, but I don't think it is prayer that will
heal our leaders of their insensitivity, greed and
avarice, I think we the citizenry as well have a role to
play, not least of these roles is voting out PDP in the
next elections, because frankly speaking, PDP has been
in power since 1999 and almost every sector of the
economy from that time has gone worse, its time in
2015 another party takes the helm of affairs of Nigeria.
May God help us.
