After about 319 days or more, Nigerian Universities will experience academic live again. Oh what a serious intellectual sapping and a wicked way of impoverishing the Nigerian youths? It is often said that when two Elephants fight the grass is made to suffer, and so no human been is ever hurt by their insanity.
This seemingly unwitty proverb spans over every human and animal crises, so even though no Elephants are engaged in any physical fight, and no grass anywhere suffering. But I tell you, intellectual growth has been stunted or dwarfed by that singular show of power. It beats many peoples' imagination as to why, the Nigerian educational system keep suffering this same strike syndrome. Or why on earth is it that, the government could pay a deaf ear to the the yearnings of these scholars for over three months, especially at a time, when those at the hem of affairs in government were once classroom teachers or lectures.
Well the issues have been raised, discussed, dialogue upon and several stalemates and agreements flaunting witnessed. But the questions are: does the losses count to anybody? Have we learnt anything? Do the authorities truly value education? Can this be the last one? Only time shall tell.
However, the frequency of strikes in our educational system has constituted itself into a re-branding issue, which we all owe a collective duty to resolve as Nigerians who honestly meant well for the nation - Nigeria
