Lagos state University students have rejected Governor
Fashola's proposed 34% and 60% across the different
faculties and courses reduction in school fees.
At a press conference held yesterday June 12th in Ogba, the President of LASU Student Union
Government, Nurudeen Yusuf, said the state government should spell out the
proposed new fees in Naira and Kobo rather than this percentage as their
parents who are responsible for the payments do not know how to
calculate in percentage.
"We do not accept the 34 to 60% reduction of the government because in 2011 when the fees were increased, it was not done on percentage level; rather, they made the pronouncement in Naira and Kobo. We urge the government to come out in words as to how much will be paid by our students in Naira and Kobo and not in percentage. How do they expect our parents, the market women scrambling to pay our fees, to calculate the percentage? The government is only trying to play games with our future. We question their sincerity on this matter because the pronouncement of the fee was as a result of a visitation panel set up by the government of which the report was selectively adopted" Yusuf said
I think I am in support of it been spelled out in naira and kobo, because the school authority will have a way of twisting things all in the name of percentage

Yeah for sure, spell it out fashola. Politicians and their way of deceiving the masses and ebing diplomatic. Once you hear percentage cut, know they aren't being truthful. Tell them the exact amount to pay simple.
DeleteTrue.... they should spell it out
ReplyDeleteMr. President may ur days be long, may u not use this ur senses to pull public funds someday too...Fashola oya spell am out mk dem enter class..
DeleteHehehehe. . Dis students ar sharp oo.. besides if deir parents cnt calculate d schl fees, dey shld calculate it for dem nah.. I understand dem jare.. govt shld tel dem d exact amt to pay
ReplyDeleteGood boy. Smart Dude!
ReplyDeleteLoool..funny..fash u don hear......................#KingOfKings
ReplyDeleteTrue talk abeg. Spell it out in naira and kobo. Cool
ReplyDeleteI don't understand their reasoning. If their parents are vendors, they should be able to do basic math. Why not reject the reduction because it still leaves an affordable education out of reach? Students, just say you want more negotiations because the fees are too damn high.
ReplyDeleteU sound like u have a tail... Did they tell u they can't do the conversion? My friend this is politics that fashola is trying to play and the SUG is smart enough not to fall for it. #Spell-It-Out-In-Naira-And-Kobo!
DeleteThis Yusuf is stupid sha.. Does what he said make any sense to him?? Can't he do they calculation himself and explain to his illiterate parents?? What's all the unecessary bants for?? Abeg u've no point. ~ribena~
ReplyDeleteMr anonymous u ar the biggest idiot nd a stupid fellow as well.
DeleteU ar the biggest idiot nd a stupid fellow for saying such trash.
DeleteMr anonymous u ar the biggest idiot nd a stupid fellow as well.
DeleteIts rants not bants moron!u dats insultin sum1 cnt even speak gud english and its u have not you've!u beta go and read and leavin d critiquing 2 d intelligent minds
DeleteAnon 11:48 is clear to me that u r d type that can be easily taken for a ride due to ur lack of reasoning well or thinking on ur feet abi u r naturally dull. R u blind or jst stupid? Or its all of the above. If intelligent, smart or brilliant ppl talk jst sit and listen ok. Its common sense to spell their fees out in black and white no playing politics or games. Which one is 34%-60% across the departments? Which of the departments abeg let the government come out and spell it all out for the students and affected parties
DeleteWise government, Wiser students..
ReplyDeleteThey should answer these students nah.
ReplyDeleteCoolDiva speaks!
I agree with them,being that the fees vary according to faculties they should spell it out the way a lay person will understand coz it even diff for me to calculate.
ReplyDeleteOri yin tiku, awon omo jatijati amukunmeko; calculate it urselves na if ur market women mothers cant, y were u sent 2 skul in d 1st place?........
ReplyDeleteExactly wat i thought. Apparently ur market woman mother is wasting her money if you dat is in skool cnt do percentage conversion
Delete@anon 11:58 &1:50 it shows that both of u r shallow minded talking like senseless ppl even a made man walking on d road reason better than both of you put together. If u don't knw what to say cos u don't think before you talk then pls shut the hell up.
DeleteWhen you learn how to spell, then we can talk. Am not suprised u said this. Am very sure you are as dumb as you sound so calculation will be a HUGE problem for you. You cannot just be opening your mouth anyhow. If you dnt agree with someone, calling them names aint d way to go but then again i forgot you have no common sense @uche uche(stupid name too)
DeleteEvn if our parents are market women,dey still afford to snd us to school.....
Delete@anon6:06pm if u really have something to say pls come out and be bold abt it rather than whispers. U with d common sense this reply shows how common urs is. Read and think before u reply ok.
DeleteAnd bros abi na babe u be...really don't care...u really r shallow minded! Let me help u see the light abi Make I put am in a better way..let me open ya mind.. The problem is not a matter of conversion or calculation, shay u hear, am sure even u can do this kinda math unless u nor finish pry schl..if u r an adult pls start thinking like one.
DeleteFoolish annonymous with their stupid ways of reasoning. Who can't do the % conversion? Mumu lemme explain to u what the SUG govt mean, they mean that fashola and co shld stop playing politics and being diplomatic on hw they handle the school fees reduction issue and come out straight with the exact figures in naira and kobo... When govt increased the school fees some time ago why didn't they increase it in %? Mtchwwww mumu annonymous with a long-thick-hairy tail...
DeletePercentage is not accepted
ReplyDeleteAll the way lasuit......
ReplyDeleteGo back. To. Class & don't push your luck too far. The gov. has tried. Some political leaders will not even listen to you.

ReplyDeleteHaha are you Gej obsessed. what concerns Federal Government with a state university? this is Fashola problem. Let Gej rest abeg.
DeleteShe meant SUG PRESIDENT and not president of Nigeria, smh Dundee united.
DeleteStudent don vex... Please Mr Fashola(S.A.N) we lagosians know you're an understanding Governor so look into this matter ASAP.. Naira & Kobo should be the appropriate figure not percentage .... Aluta continue...
ReplyDeleteTrue Talk! Even some of us who are educated crack our brains to calculate percentage.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder!

ReplyDeleteJesu Christi...simple conversion naim SUG President nor know. *in Hon. Obayagbon voice*. This SUG President has rushed us back to a state of gbongbon nihitis which as a society should be utter dismissed using a collaborative neophism. That's all...Chai
ReplyDeleteWisely said...#Gbam
ReplyDeleteThank you Nurudeen Yusuf, that is an intelligent president speaking. naira and kobo is the right thing.
ReplyDeleteGbam oya govt
ReplyDeleteGbam oya govt explain
ReplyDeleteOooh no Fashola i am ashamed b'cus i don't expect this kind of things from ur government since u are an educated man:we expect to see things like these happening to students when the people in power were those that forged certificate who don't know the importance of education. (9ijaborn yankeebased )
ReplyDeleteMy challenge is these guys are thinking like naija politicians and one day ,they too will do the same thing in government.
ReplyDeleteFashola, convert the money for them jor#support@SUG presido.
ReplyDeleteGhen Ghen!! The president !! Ur head is there jarree !!!

ReplyDeleteYusufu I support u jareee *fashionista LeonorA*
ReplyDeleteYusuf Nurudeen is very correct. D increament is in naira & kobo, so let d reduction shld be in naira & kobo. E ma fi bread kowa lomi obe. JOKYBABE
ReplyDeleteU 'r a big fool @anony 11:47
ReplyDeleteI support the students.
ReplyDeleteAs an indigene of Kano state, you don't pay a single dime to attend a public school. As long as its owned by the government and you are an indigene of Kano, you don't pay a dime in Kano. Lagos government should adopt the same method so as to help eradicate illiteracy in the economy.
ReplyDeleteSmart dude very wise........so govt interprete ooo in naira nd kobo #kpam
ReplyDeleteDis dude is damn rite... Oya our Governor, abeg say am for naira nd kobo mak we hear
ReplyDeleteAlasheju baba asete(i think it translates to someone who overdoes ends up loosing). So when you get your result and those uneducated mothers of yours cant translate, the govt has to come to their house to translate your results to them? or the cost of the books? Fashola good job jare
ReplyDeleteLazy brain dead students, just say you don't know how to calculate.
ReplyDeletethis president is a big fool. so you are in school for what then? if you cant convert yourself. the govt has to hold your hands and do everything for you? nonsense
ReplyDeleteSo this matter calls for a press conference and not a letter to the school authority as to when the exact figures will be announced to them. His level of reasoning is obviously too shallow. Soon we will hear they are on strike cuz of this matter.
ReplyDeletegive a nigga an inch he takes a fucken mile. what is wrong with this muslim president? oversabi dey worrry am ba? dont go and rejoice. How many protests have been done in that same naija on more serious issues and not a single thing was done. The Governor has reduced the fees. Calculte it your fucken self. Idiot
ReplyDeleteTalasa ... Bringing religious difference into this setting actually shows d stupidity in ur human existence .. Wait, if the sch fees eventually gets reduced will d muslims students be the only one to benefits.. Ur kind of pple are d reason there is a war in d north. God damned religious fanatic. If u were so smart with % why not offer to calculate the new sch fees for dem. If u are wise enof, u should be able to deduce that govt is actually playing politics with d future of these students.. Yusuf as shown that his sch fees as not gone to waste by being able to point out d foul play... Let the govt spell out the sch fees in naira and kobo simple..
DeleteTalasa or tout..u must b a fuckin retard..
DeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteI think the School authority should help Ogbeni Fash oiut in the conversion, cos seriously the percentage might not amount to anything in Naira and Kabo. Politician sense and Student Brain!
ReplyDeleteI support your struggle Lasuites
yusuf u r sooooooooooooooo right ........................... let them spell it out in naira and kobo.... government with their stupid tricks .........
ReplyDeletei support d movement 2 spelled it out,.
ReplyDeleteEasy y'all! What's all dese noise all abt..what d guy is tryna say made a lot of sense,the govt shld apply d same method thru which dey inflatd d skul fee in d first place...they shld cme out open abt it (naira and kobo) simple! Politicians sha dey love it cunny eewwwwl
ReplyDeleteGovernor Babatunde Fashola, why are you playing with peoples future, be honest with yourself and spell it out in naira and kobo. What you people in govt don't today is, we student understand all your tricks.
ReplyDeleteGod dey.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteI dont expect Nigerians to be surprised for all the happenings shooting out.We should also not panic.All we need do is to look out for solutions.
ReplyDeleteIn 2012,oil subsidy was removed,In 2014,electriity subsidy was also taken off.Now its educational subsidy and please dont be surprised by the time they come up with air subsidy.By then,Nigerian will be paying for the air they breath.
For full enlightment on what is happening in our society since the elected president took over the presidential villa,I will recomend a book titled: People Power in Africa: A WEEK THAT CHANGED NIGERIAN FOREVER WRITTEN BY MOSHOOD ADEMOLA FAYEMIWO PHD AND MARGIE MARIE NEAL ED.D .
The authors began the Introduction to the book with the origin of the contentious issue of subsidy withdrawal on petroleum products in Nigeria describing the beginnings with the Yakubu Gowon military regime at the height of the world energy crisis of 1973 and the various successive governments except during the regime of General Muhammadu Buhari of 1984/1985 and the administration of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua –the only two administrations that reduced the prices of gasoline for Nigerians. The authors narrated the anatomy of the debacle called withdrawal of petroleum subsidy by Mr. Jonathan on New Year’s Day and the part played by Dr Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s current minister of finance the architect of the unpopular policy and the agent of the two world imperialist agencies: the IMF/World Bank in Nigeria.
BOOK NOW AVAILABLE AS EBOOK.

I tink m in support of d naira kobo tin.....govt shud jst tell dem d exact amount...buh president speak 4 ur slf ooo,na evry body wey dey go d sch mama b market woman? #columbiana#
ReplyDeleteSome people don't understand student politics so dey will surely 'yarn' nonsense. Like socrates will say " I am wiser than all because I am aware of my ignorance". Nurudeen you are on the right part. #nickyonikan
ReplyDeleteThis is Naija and those students know what they are saying. Government will come out tomorrow to say that 35% of bla bla bla is so so and so. Then another fight will erupt. I expected everyone here to understand what the students were saying. It wasn't all about calculations, it's about twisting the calculations tomorrow. Let's stop claiming 'I too know'- Most of you saying they aren't brilliant enough to calculate the figures are the real illiterates here; for finally failing to figure out the simple gesture these students just made. Pretenders claiming brilliant. Iriots in Okon's voice.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with them.fashola. Should be more specific. ;Lady Daisy
ReplyDeleteSee better student govt, nt dis useless ones in unijos wer na only moni dem sabi steal
ReplyDeleteAw, this was a really nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don't seem to get anything
