Nigerian universities may be closed again this year if the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) does not meet its demands, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
This was disclosed by ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke in an interview with The ICIR.
According to the union president, the government had yet to address the issues that led to previous industrial actions which lasted for eight months.

Following the government’s failure to honor the agreement reached with the lecturers in 2009 and meet other union demands, ASUU went on strike on February 14, 2022.
Following an Appeal Court ruling in favor of the government on September 21, 2022, ordering ASUU to resume work and upholding a similar injunction previously issued by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, the union called off its strike on October 14.
Unlike in the past, when striking workers were paid for the time they were off the job, the government has stated that it will not pay ASUU.
ASUU members received a half-month salary at the end of October, two weeks after they returned to work, which the government described as ‘pro-rata.’
Since then, the union has demanded that the government pay its members’ backlog.
Speaking during the interview on the possibility of another industrial strike, Osodeke said, “It is not possible in this country, except we have a set of leaders that will be elected and will be human beings and think about the system.”
He said ASUU members continued working because they wanted the best for the nation.
The union leader, however, pointed out that his group was waiting for the government to fulfill its promises which led to the suspension of the union’s eight-month strike in 2022.
An outstanding Nigerian engineer has broken a 50-year-old record by becoming the first African to receive a first-class degree from a Japanese university.

Ekòng is now making cars for Nissan and has two patented products, including an electric car he built himself.
The interesting thing about the genius is that he solved a mathematical equation that couldn’t be solved for 30 years in his first semester at Tokai University, Japan.
“It is an electrical problem involving mathematics and my entire research team is not allowed to discuss details of academic research, patents, and trade secrets as it regards electric vehicles. We are constrained by a confidentiality agreement not to discuss such projects,” Ekong told the Youth Alive Foundation.
Ufot Ekong, who is originally from the Nigerian state of Akwa Ibom, is a multi-lingual, he speaks English, Japanese, French, Yoruba, and Ibibio fluently.
Nigerians are known for their academic brilliance and exploitation when they cross the Atlantic to study overseas.
On several occasions, we’ve seen Nigerians come out tops with amazing grades, research and innovation across some of the A-list universities in Europe, North America and Asia.
The likes of Prof Wole Soyinka, Adebayo Ogunlesi, Bennet Omalu and a host of others are the prime examples of Nigerians who have gone on to shake the world with their excellence in academics, innovation, tech and the likes.
Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian Afrobeat singer, has revealed why Nigerians are more successful than others.

The songstress has spoken out about the long-running feud between the Nigerian and South African music industries.
According to Tiwa, it is unfair to judge an entire entertainment industry based on one person’s actions, and Nigerians and South Africans need to be cleansed of their deep mistrust.

She expressed her affection for South Africans and stated that it is time for people to speak up and let the world know that they are all brothers and sisters. She went on to say that there should be no bloodshed in order for someone to win.
“I don’t know but I think Nigerians are tough, we are hustlers, and because the genre is Afrobeat and the godfather of Afrobeat is Fela Kuti so maybe that’s another reason we are successful,” Tiwa Savage said when asked why Nigerian artists are more successful than others.

Welcome to this space, where I tell people what they should and should not do with food and drinks. Today we’ll talk about our food resolutions for the year. If you don’t want us to fight, do everything I’ve listed below.
Kill chicken
At your big age, you don’t know how to hold a chicken to the ground and kill it? Come on now. You’re too big for this. This is a skill people add to their CVs, and you don’t have it? Do better this year.
Chop semo. (Eat Semo)
Growing up means realising semo isn’t that bad, and people are just overdoing it with the slander. Give semo a try. I promise, you’ll see the light.
Attend more food events
Stop waiting for the end of the year to attend overcrowded food festivals. Many events happen throughout the year — BBQs, potlucks, yam and plantain festival, cocktails, etc. You just have to shine your eye and ears.
Eat Japanese food
Are you not tired of going to that Chinese restaurant every single time you’re looking for where to eat? You want to say you’ve also been to Japanese restaurants. Good for you (even though all you ate was sushi and rice).
Make homemade pasta
Just realised this isn’t as hard as all those fancy chefs makes it seem online. Apparently, you can even do this without some big-ass machine. I think everyone shoud make their own pasta at least once, just for the fun of it.
Have a cocktail competition
Gather your friends together and see who can make the best cocktail from basic ingredients. This is actually so much fun, and the fact that everyone will end up drunk is a bonus.

Go outside your comfort zone
This year, just be adventurous with food. Try meals from other tribes you’ve only ever heard about online, try a difficult recipe, eat that food you stopped liking many years ago, eat at a beer parlour, put pineapples in your burger and cheese in pancakes. Just don’t be basic.
Drink water
Because you people always forget to drink at least two litres a day and that’s not healthy. I need y’all alive and well to read 626blaze articles.
Avoid fufu
Yes, semo is trash, but fufu is its oga. If you’re out here eating fufu, it means you can comfortably pick something from a toilet dustbin to eat.
Stop eating rice and tomato stew
We’re no longer in the days of our parents when the only thing they ate with white rice was either standard tomato stew or soup that was meant for swallow. There are way too many sauses out there for you to try with your rice. Don’t limit yourself.
Order something new at a restaurant
You order things like rice, burger, pasta, chicken and chips, and in your mind, you’ve gone to a restaurant to eat. Stop deceiving yourself. Open that menu, and order a meal with a name that’s hard to pronounce. Let’s start from there.
