ASUU VS FG: A Tough and Rough Wrestling That Invalidates Science Law

Sani IDRIS Soil Science, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria-Nigeria, says ASUU/FG Face – Off is A Story of Tough and Rough Wrestling That Invalidates Science Law.

Sani IDRIS, this piece examined a historic fight between Radical Cohorts (RC) – the ASUU members and Avaricious Career Opportunists (ACO) – the political appointees that has been characterized by toughness and roughness.

As a refresher background, it’s good for the world to note that ASUU is a unique trade union entirely owing to the attachment of a qualification, ‘intellectual’ . So, RC see it a pragmatic duty to safeguard and discharge core responsibility burdens that intellectuality and scholarship come with; which is finding the truth, proclaiming and defending it at all cost – not minding the terrains or consequences.

The current horn-locking between FG and ASUU is becoming hot and has been so throughout the history book of ASUU.

In basic sciences, Coulomb’s law of charges states that ” Unlike charges attract each other and like charges repel each other”. However, ASUU and FG agents normally engage in brisky battle as they try to elbow out each other, just the way two positively charged wires repel and spark. Let’s analyze the charges of the two quereling parties indepthly. FG as a negative pole creats shady policies and obnoxious laws in hush and rush approach most attimes to achieve ulterior motive, while ASUU which believes in hard work commit itself to finding volumes of facts and evidences strong enough to punch hard and annul those policies and laws. In defending same ACO propagate lies and assemble flimsy justifications. Radical Cohorts in the positive end unearth the truth and support it to surface to the glaring eyes of all discerning minds.

During negotiations, ACO falls short of transparency, sincerity and integrity as such becomes contradictory, and irreconcilable in their pronouncements and positions, thereby failing FG. Radical Cohorts on the other hand, strongly believe in transparency and accountability as such, all layers of ASUU share common thought and harmonized stand.

One of the founding principles of RC is that, they neither believe in superstition nor do they believe in power, rather believe in supremacy of enacted laws, established principles and legal agreements. Oppositely, ACO believe so much in power, as a result, they always wear cap of arrogance symbolizing I-can-do-and-undo syndrome

Ethics and career profession is another thick boundary that make RC and ACO repel each other vively despite being opposite charges.

Radical Cohorts consider it a moral burden to salvage and improve the system that nurtured and brought them up; while ACO don’t mind sinking the boat that sailed them after torching the ground.

Radical Cohorts have confidence in the University system despite its shortcomings and struggle for revitalization. On the other lane, ACO have zero confidence on the system that made them, thus accumulate illicit wealth to sponsor their children abroad and proliferate private universities in their bid to strangulate the system.

Radical Cohorts practice contented life (living within the confines of their own lawful earnings) while ACO cater for their lavish lives from Nigeria’s coffer unlawfully.

Radical Cohorts elevate to ranks through untiring scholarly hard work. While ACO raise to ranks through looting and bribery, lies and mischiefs, deceit and betrayals, skepticism and sycophancy, thuggery and rigging among others.

This tough battle between RC and ACO is bound to persist as all the above attributes of RC are well entrenched ideological principles of theirs. For instance, there is no way RC will accept any stuff without them scratching deep beneath it to unveil its true colour, neither will they absorb any policy that has not been critically thought out.
