I heard Nigeria is giving out aids to another country, please don't get me wrong I have nothing against giving, infact it's good to give with a pure heart, but make una see this thing ASUU are on strike because of unpaid fees from the government and the government are claiming they don't have any money. I do not think this is the right time for that type of country to Be giving out aids to any country. We first need to fix our internal problems make everywhere dey ok.
I will blame the government and ASUU.
The government because they are responsible for Nigeria not having a good economy that can make everything work properly. Nigeria has the highest GDP in Africa but most Nigerians are living below the poverty line. Nigeria is even the worst in the world as it took the first position from India few years ago as a country that has highest number of people living below poverty line.
Crude oil makes up 70% of Nigeria export, the price has gone up from around $25 when many countries made lockdown mandatory, the price has gone up above $100 now but nothing yet changed in Nigeria. Buhari government depends more on foreign loans, we all noticed how the government have been deducting VAT from people. MTN, Airtel, Glo and other service providers, banks and other organizations in Nigeria have way of deducting VAT from citizens which are given to the government, these were obvious when Buhari has been borrowing more money from foreign countries.
The government were able to borrow money and were able to looking for ways to pay back the money but have not been able to fund ASUU's demands.
ASUU are to be blammed because they are more dependent on government. ASUU should find ways to be less dependent on government. Nigeria is one of the countries in the world that their student pays low school fee. Reducing school fee can help to an extent but it has its downsides which is what is happening. ASUU can still do it in a way the school fee can be lower than that of private schools but in a way they will be less dependent on the government.
I remembered when LAUTECH went on strike for 8 months, the student resumed for exam and started another strike that lasted for 5 months. The school fee was hiked to ₦140000 at that time and the school is now better than before.
@BIT-BENDER, can you give us the link to that news, this will let us know more about the reason Nigeria is giving out aids to another country so we can have more understanding about it. There are times aid can be needed especially to underdeveloped West Africa and Africa countries which are always looking up to Nigeria.
