Its been a game of wit on the social media in describing the impact of the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) nine months old strike on students, which was only called off on Wednesday, December 23.
After the ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, announced the suspension of the nine months old strike at a press conference in Abuja, the reactions of Nigerians on the social media were comically hilarious.
@Mbahdeyforyou said: “ASUU wait till nine months make people wey get belle born first.”
@daddyoyoyoo tweeted: “As ASUU don call off strike, i go gladly do all the whole chores today, wash car, wash tiles, run errands, kiss kiss and laugh with my parents cause once i commot this house, omo, them fit no see me till thy kingdom come.”
@Adaugetsoo said: “Me and my friend searching for our school when universities are reopened in 2021.”
@bidemitweets quoted ASUU as saying: “We called off the strike when Lockdown 2.0 is about to start, then when Lockdown is over, We Strike Again”
@blocboy22 tweeted: “ASUU why did you call off the strike now? Are you people mad? Nothing concern me with school again.”
