sinkhole:
He said he is a Chief Negotiator and everybody must report to him finally but unfortunately he is now drawing things back by calling for a meeting without sending notice to the concerned parties!

Which chief negotiator?
Briggs committee is now in charge and not Ngige anymore. FG setup that committee to renegotiate with ASUU and not with Ngige. The committee is to report back to FG.
To ASUU, renegotiate and implement before we call off the strike.
UTAS/ippis wahala still dey o.

Ngige leave us alone says ASUU. Ngige na devil

sinkhole:
It is alright, though I wish they get the UTAS!
Let us just wait and see and that they are still meeting tomorrow on this issue!

U never know wetin dey happen
FG won use fake 70,000 ghost workers take confuse Nigerians. Is like no utas no resumption o

sinkhole:
If the President put his signature, that is an implementation!
If by the end of this month there is salary alert for ASUU , that is an implementation!
They have agreed on what to do with UTAS and IPPIS as I said before!
Forget those other Unions (SSANU, NASU and NAAT), if ASUU call-off strike today, I give them two weeks, they will all resume work
Na the ASUU strike dey ginger them

Prof Brigg will return back to ASUU and ASUU to it's . There's nothing like ippis to ASUU.

Salary alert using ippis is implementation? I laff o. You don't know what is happening?

sinkhole:
In a post, I said in another two weeks and in another post I said soon and very soon.
You guys should start dusting your books as the strike is nearing its end!
All negotiations have been concluded and only the IPPIS is currently undergoing test (and the test could have finished self), the agreement is that the best of the three will be picked, hence, no matter how the results turn out there will be no quarrel!
The document presented for PMB to sign will make ASUU to smile slot.
FG and PMB in particular is highly interested in the end to the strikes.

ASUU is waiting for implementation and not approval. FG is not ready to accept UTAS and ASUU will not shift ground.
Ssanu Don add two months to their own strike self.

Meanwhile, https://punchng.com/nasu-ssanu-extend-strike-by-two-months/

They are just lying about UTAS chai.

The Federal Government on Wednesday said the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities would soon be called off.

This was as it said there are no plans to establish an alternative payment table for all the labour unions in tertiary institutions.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, disclosed this while briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by the President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) at the Council Chambers of the presidential villa, Abuja.

Despite four months into the strike already, Ngige assured Nigerians that efforts were underway to resolve the ongoing dispute largely fueled by payment platforms.
ASUU, which grounded academic activities in Nigerian universities since February 14, 2022, had insisted on the use of its own generated payment platform, University Transparency and ability Solution.

It premised its demand on claims that the government-backed Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System was shortchanging its .

However, the Federal Government, last March claimed that UTAS was unfit for wide-scale use as it failed three integrity tests.
Aside from UTAS, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and Non-Academic Staff Union of Allied and Educational Institutions also proposed their payment platform: Universities Peculiar Personnel Payroll System.

Ngige argued that the Federal Government was indeed engaging with ASUU, despite notions that it has been snubbing the union.

The party said 10 candidates have been disqualified.
You lazy journalist are saying, everyone was cleared
Will wait till Monday for FINAL ANSWER OF WHO WANTS TO BE A PRESIDENT.

I believe you are referring to Vanguard

The seven-man Presidential Aspirants Screening Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has cleared all the 23 aspirants it screened for Monday’s primaries.

Asked what the did with a petition against one of the frontline aspirants and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the source said “they threw it away. None of the aspirants has been indicted or convicted by any court. No allegation against any of them has been proved.”

A source close to the committee told Vanguard that the found all the aspirants “electable” and “has no reason to disqualify any of them.”

23 aspirants

The 23 aspirants cleared for the presidential primaries are Chief Emeka Nwajiuba, Governor Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa), Senator Robert Boroffice, Mrs Uju Ken-Ohanenye, Mr Nicholas Felix, Governor David Umahi (Ebonyi), Senator Ken Nnamani, Dr Tunde Bakare, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.


The rest are Ahmad Rufai Sani, Chief Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Dimeji Bankole, Governor Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Senator Godswill Akpabio, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senator Rochas Okorocha, Governor Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Mr. Tein Jack-Rich, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, Governor Ben Ayade (Cross River) and Mr. Ikeobasi Mokelu

The clearing of the aspirants came as tension brewed in the party over the governors’ plot to resist President Muhammadu Buhari’s plan to pick his successor. The governors were said to be against moves to impose a presidential candidate on the party.

Some of the governors are said to be unhappy over President Buhari’s failure to name his preferred successor, at their meeting with him on Tuesday,so that they could deliberate on it. They are also against the alleged plan of the President to limit his searchlight to the North.

Meanwhile, South-West APC leaders have become more divided over Tinubu and Osinbajo, with a source saying that Minister of Interior, Engr Rauf Aregbesola allegedly created problems for Tinubu in the zone.


Governors’ plot to resist Buhari

The move against Buhari’s appeal to pick his successor, Vanguard gathered, arose from the inability to convince some governors, especially from the North, on why Buhari must impose his successor.

The governors are said to have the buy-in of some northern power brokers against the backdrop of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primaries that produced former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate.

The state helmsman, sources said, are afraid that a faulty procedure, imposition of a candidate could cause an implosion that would fling the presidency to the PDP.

Specifically, they picked holes in alleged moves by Buhari to limit his search for a successor to the North with Senate President Ahmad Lawan (North-East) and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State (North-Central) as the focus.

Hence, some of them are pushing for the party to allow more fresh aspirants to participate in the presidential primaries of the party. They are said to be mobilizing their colleagues to prevail on the National Chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to re-open the nomination process to enable more aspirants from the North to the race.

However, some Southern aspirants and power brokers are against moves by a few Northern governors to re-open nomination after screening has been concluded.

Five Northern governors were alleged to be behind the new plot, while nine are for southern candidate.

“Some of these governors have also been privy to the fact that Buhari might have zeroed in on two or three aspirants including a few Northern aspirants that they don’t want adopted.

“I think there must be more to this re-opening of the nomination agenda. We don’t know the mindset of our national chairman on this,” a top party leader reportedly said.

Why Buhari failed to name successor at meeting with governors

However, another source told Vanguard why the President did not announce his successor when he met with APC governors, while dismissing insinuations that Buhari was looking to the North to pick his successor.

The source said: “It is true that President Buhari has a candidate but persons working around him who believe strongly that a Tinubu presidency will be too strong for them to handle, are the ones moving around to see how to edge out Tinubu.

“The Tuesday meeting was originally planned by Buhari to tell the governors to endorse his candidate. Invariably, Buhari did not have the guts to drop the name of the person. It was a meeting where they were to really brainstorm and possibly look at all the aspirants on their merit and then, take a decision. Instead, the president brought out a speech and started reading.

“That tells you that Buhari is not convinced about the person they are pushing to him. As an individual, I know Buhari has his reservations about Tinubu but he has tremendous respect for Baba Bisi Akande and even if he wants to deal with Tinubu, he (Buhari) cannot because of Baba Akande.

“As recent as two weeks ago, some prominent Nigerians, including those from the South-West had a one-on-one with Buhari and he told them that he had no problem with Tinubu. There are some persons around the president who are not comfortable with Tinubu but if they go ahead with the primary, Tinubu will carry the day and that is why of the cabal are trying to see if they can micro-manage the situation and ensure they don’t go into an election.

“If APC makes the mistake of abandoning Tinubu, Atiku will win the 2023 election hands down. It is only a Tinubu candidate that Ayo Fayose, a Wike, will work for and some other prominent persons in the PDP.”

Buhari not looking at North

Asked whether the President was looking in the direction of the North to pick his successor, the source said: “That is not true. Who is the prominent Northerner in the race? Is it Ahmad Lawan? Ahmad Lawan cannot win Yobe State and they know that.

“If you are a cabinet member and the form has not closed and you meet Buhari today that you want to run, he will wish you good luck. That is what all of them are carrying about to say that Buhari is ing them.

Tinubu’s aspiration has been on for three years ago and this is to tell you when the project started. It is not something that started today; it was not an afterthought.

“That is why when some Buhari people got to know that Tanko Al-Makura, who was aspiring to be APC National Chairman, was close to Tinubu

Samueltemi337:

Kayyy:


Do you guys even watch what millions of other watched, last season with Beyonce, comfort was better than this season, the only standout last season was Kingdom and Akunna, I would place a bet that faith, zadok, itohan would make top 3 easily and even fight kingdom for the win , Kingdom sang today and believe me that performance , zadok and progress would easily so how do you rank this season as terrible compared to last season, the votes and audience this season was more as well

Kingdom is music.

Was it not last season naija stars like Cobham, Chile etc battled out with contestants on stage?

Contestants were heavily criticized by judges last season. Last season's finale was so captivating unlike the just concluded one.

This season was straight forward from the top 12. Contestants were repeating songs upon songs. Judges were standing up for average performances. Make I no talk.

More fans voted this season than last season.

Reussite:

You say?
Last season cannot even lace the shoe of this season let alone stand close to it. Last season was near abysmal. This season was electrifying.

You don't know what you're saying. You're comparing this terrible season with that of last season.

This is a big joke.

Worst season so far

Congratulations progress. Well deserved
