Opinion: Who will make heaven between FG/ASUU and ‘my Oga at the top’?

by Ojay Kaikai

My-Oga

If God is to judge between the crime that fetched the poor civil defense officer the bad treatment, and the way the government and ASUU has treated Nigerian student in the past, you can predict who will go to heaven and who will go to hell fire

The Nigeria media was awash recently over the blunder of a leading bureaucrat in Nigeria, so much that some person tagged it a test run of the Nigerian Arab spring. Fast forwards to few months later, the ASUU strike enters the stage, affecting not only the psyche of the youth, but taking hope of the future generation away and we all do nothing compared to the ‘my oga at the top saga’.

If you have not heard the slang ‘My Oga at the Top’ before now, you probably do not live in Nigeria, but just in case, it was about an officer of Nigerian Civil Defense Corps, who could not give the website of his organization correctly during a TV interview, the country went wild for this error in our system, and under 24hrs, there were songs, videos, customized shirt everywhere, and the slang never left our mouths.

As little as that might look to few moderate Nigerian, the ASUU strike set in few months later the devastating effects, statistic has it that there was increase in prostitution, fraud, fighting in the street corner because the student were left idle and the same country men who went crazy about the website error which has little to do with our corporate existence went to sleep when the future of the country was put online.

The irony of the whole saga was that when the ‘My Oga at the top’ saga broke, the student were the highest critic of the system, invading social media with the slogan, and now that matter that directly affects their hope and future is at stake, they have so far failed to apply the same commitment and fervency used against the incapable official to government and ASUU crisis.

Over the period of this strike, the government of this country has transported hundreds of people to UN meeting, China, and it has transported another hundreds to support the Super Eagles, the students could have taken advantage of the same social media deployed during ‘Oga at the top’ saga to get the government to listen, but they did not.

ASUU and the government have met resulting in  conflicting media report initially, yet the student did not ask to be represented at the subsequent meeting, nobody is arguing to host the ASUU/Government nationwide TV confrontation, it even took actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde to point to us that there is an Education Trust Fund while the government was going about her lack of fund propaganda, this is a level of misplaced priority that I cannot explain.

If God is to judge between the crime that fetched the poor civil defense officer the bad treatment, and the way the government and ASUU treats Nigerian students, you can hazard a guess as to who will go to heaven and who will not.
