THE peaceful protest by the striking Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and College of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) turned awry on Tuesday, as police freely tear-gassed and threw canisters at the protesters and journalists covering the protest.  The development led to stampede and pandemonium at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, at about 10:13 a.m, shortly after the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Chukwuemeka Wogu, came down from his office to address the protesters.  Wogu was lucky to have escaped the stampede but some of the federal workers who came out to watch the protest as well as journalists who were covering the protest were dazed by the impact of the dangerous chemicals inhaled. The lecturers were seen using water and kerosene to rub their faces in order to cushion the effect of the tear gas. The entire federal secretariat was like a war zone on Tuesday with heavy detachment of police that were stationed strategically a...

COEASU Strike: Colleges of Education Resumes COEASU Strike:Colleges of Education Resumes In line with the intervention of Senator Bukola Saraki and Global Peace Movement on COEASU strike, workers at the three Kwara State owned Colleges of Education on Tuesday suspended their six-week industrial action called by Committee of Unions of Tertiary Institutions (CUTI).

Insurgency: The Truth Should Be Told No Matter What SANUSI MUHAMMAD — May 21, 2014 Since the eruption of violence in the North-east sub-region and other States of the federation in 2009, a lot was said and heard including various federal and states committee reports on the dreaded Boko Haram sect but the menace seems to thrive, defying solutions leading to the abduction of over 250 innocent girls in GGSS Chibok on April 14, 2014 which exposed the incapacitation of the federal might to defeat the guerillas. The truth remains that the burning issue at stake is not handled rightly. In my opinion, the only viable solution to the insurgency not exploited is dialogue and negotiations. Several tactics were employed and each has been matched with devastating consequences and calamities. What this means is that the most viable, option to end the problem has not been applied. Another troubling aspect is that our leaders and people including security agencies tend to view the grave ...

WHO WILL BELL THE CART? Many issues have arisen and there has been a lot of talk, but the germane thing is always in the cooler, "who will go for us?". Insurgency and insecurity is now the order of the day, killings here and there, yet we have a God who sees all of these. A time is coming when the voice of the masses will become one when the song on the lips of people will sound as one, and the whole will see and say "Yes they have suffered for long, and now they are risen to fight for justice". I must tell you, people will rise one day, we cannot continue in sin and yet expect that grace will abound for us, God forbid. We are Nigerians and we need to rise up to the challenge been thrown @ us. No more insurgency or barbaric killings again.
