Needless to say is the resurrection of the old devil (industrial action- strike) in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. This is a mistrust against the government who cunningly play on people's intelligence by entering into agreement that cannot be fulfilled. Certaintly, this is a complete drag on our already collapsed education sector in which students are majorly the losers, paying dearly for the stubbornness of our elders with extra years in an unnecessarily protracted "learning process."
Instead of joining the pool of pundits to argue the case out, I will rather stand out to proffer solutions to the pertinent question troubling the heart of most students like me which is
"What do I do during the Strike?"
Going by the turn of event and news surrounding the supposed indefinite strike, it is clear that the earliest resumpton date will be about late January or February 2012 (this is enough time to do something either crime that mars your life or any other thing that builds it). So, why sit all day in front of TV set all day, drinking booze, sleeping more than half of the day and wasting away on facebook or chatting applications.
Remember that "The idle hand is the devil's workshop."
And no sooner had school resumed, news of attrocities committed by fellow idle students at home begin to flood the air while success stories of those that maximized the break often follow as well.
However, the net effect of ASUU strike could be advantageous, if a good plan is developed and sticked to while also it may be disadvantageous if you just wasted away. In fact, when viewed from a certain perspective, ASUU strikes might be a good thing. How, you ask? Well because the duration of the strike might be your best chance of learning/doing stuff that is actually useful and will avail you for life and the future, as opposed to the crap that they’re force-feeding you at school. And I will be sharing a few ideas (in my next post) that might be worth your while if you try them out.
