ASUU went on strike in 1993, 1994, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022.
In 2022, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) promised that ASUU strikes will be a thing of the past and that Nigerian students will enjoy hitch-free academic sessions.
In 2025, Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa (@DrTunjiAlausa) noted that “the Federal Government has addressed every request made by ASUU.”
On 14th January 2026, The Federal Government and ASUU signed a landmark agreement on improved salaries and allowances which ended a 16-year impasse. This agreement included a 40% increase in salaries and allowances of Academics - a huge commitment for the education sector.
Challenges such as infrastructural deficits, high numbers of out‑of‑school children, poor internet and digital divide between urban and rural schools still exist. However, WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS! THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR OF NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES HAVE BEEN STABILISED. PROMISE KEPT! #TinubuReforms #EducationSector #Nigeria
Farooq Oreagba’s personal life has not been without its share of heartbreak. The Ijebu-Ode-born finance professional has been married twice, and both marriages ultimately ended in divorce. Despite the unions producing three sons, Oreagba himself has admitted that he was the one who walked out of both marriages. The back-to-back marital failures were a significant personal setback for a man who was simultaneously dealing with enormous health challenges, making his story one of resilience on multiple fronts.
In April 2014, Oreagba was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and carcinoma, bone marrow and skin cancer respectively, a devastating blow that also forced him to step away from a distinguished career in the financial sector. He fought the illness with remarkable determination, achieving complete remission on February 3, 2015, and being declared fully cancer-free and healthy by 2017. The long battle tested every part of him, but he emerged stronger, and was eventually appointed Managing Director and CEO of NG Clearing Limited in September 2023, nearly six years after his health crisis had pulled him away from the industry.
His return to public consciousness reached a turning point at the 2024 Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu-Ode, where his now-viral images brought fresh energy and global attention to the age-old Ijebu celebration. His bold fusion of agbada, tattoos, sunglasses, and a dignified horse ride made global headlines, symbolising a refreshing blend of modern elegance and cultural authenticity that younger generations could both admire and relate to. Dubbed the King of Steeze, he returned even more triumphantly to the 2025 edition, cementing his status as the face of the festival and transforming what was once a regional cultural event into a globally recognised celebration of Ijebu heritage.
BAYO ADELABU, YOU CAN STILL BE GOVERNOR
I want this post to be saved for future reference.
Adelabu can still be Governor depending on how he accepts the result of the last Thursday's APC Governorship Primary in Oyo State. Although, the result is yet to be announced officially, feelers from reliable sources have confirmed Sharafa Alli’s victory. If this is true, it shouldn't be attributed to rigging by, especially Adelabu, it is the choice of Party’s Leadership. In Party politics, Leadership controls the followership and gives direction. If anyone is dissatisfied with the leadership of his or her political party, that person needs to quit the party. You cannot use followership to fight leadership in a political party. For example, those PDP Governors that joined the APC, joined because leadership invited them. A governor that joined APC without leadership invitation eventually surrendered and dropped himself from the contest! The Governors that joined APC from PDP, say Zamfara State Governor for example, how did he emerge as APC flagbearer today? Is it because he can defeat Matawalle in the APC? NO! It is because the entire leadership structure of the party wants Dauda Lawal, and the followers will always go with their leaders, afterall, nearly all the contestants today were also made by leadership of the party yesterday.
Don't let anyone gaslight you, Leadership is key.
My advice to Adelabu is to accept the result wholeheartedly and work with the choice of APC. Doing so has tremendous advantages for him and not doing so will not do him any good. His decision at this moment is very critical to his political future. Being a young man in his 50s, he can still regain his support in the APC Leadership if he abides by their current decision. Yesterday the President said "I'm satisfied with the all the process of this Primary election in all stages of it". The President is your political father.
Future is not as far as we think. Let it be on record that you gave the winner 100% support. Let it be on record that you supported the party to stop Seyi's evil 3.0 agenda. And the future can be yours when the future comes.
Happy Sunday to All Progressives Only ❤️
I have now understood why clubs sack managers if the team isn't performing very well. Why did Mikel Arteta change the winning team with two players. I was okay with Myles Lewis-skelly to be benched for Martin Odergaard to comeback in the team because I believe Lewis Skelly won't start Vs PSG.
I didn't understand why he had to start Kai Harvetz over Viktor Gyokeres and if he is thinking of starting Kai Harvetz Vs PSG then you can call me a plastic fan but we won't stand a chance in that game.
Kai Harvetz should be brought in as a substitute for Eberechi Eze or Martin Odergaard but not to lead our line. Apart from the goal, I don't think there's anything Kai Harvetz has contributed in the game.
He made the Burnley defenders look good because he wasn't making the runs behind them thus ending up being comfortable on the ball and if defenders are comfortable then the midfield plays thus the whole team.
@AndyjnrUmaru I just want to lay blocks on my foundation to lintel level, I have blocks, sharp sand and granite, remaining cement and workmanship for the bricklayers
