The Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Rt. Rev. Godfrey Onah, at the weekend,
warned politicians to retrace their steps, as it would not be possible to quench the anger of Nigerian youth who may soon run out of patience over the poor treatment they are getting from government and their leaders at various levels.
The clergyman stated at the funeral mass organized for Lolo Josephine Oyima Abba, mother of the Enugu State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Engr. Vita Abba at Ede-Oballa, in Nsukka Council Area of Enugu State.
He warned that such neglect could force the youth to revolt against their leaders
The Bishop cautioned that it would be difficult to stop the youth if they were further pushed into frustration.
He threw posers to both the government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on the reasons behind the over three-month-old industrial action that has paralyzed academic activities.
”The common people, the students and their parents, whom I represent, do not believe the explanations the politicians and the academics are giving for the strike; we don’t believe them and we are appealing to them in God’s name to remember we will all end this way (pointing to the dead); let them end this strike immediately.
”I want to ask a question; it is a question not a statement. I am asking the leadership of the country; is it really true that you don’t have enough money to improve upon the quality of education in this country or is it that you are stocking up money in preparation for 2015 in order to buy your way to power or to secure your future indefinitely through

Hi ppl,seriously i think its time this matter is looked seriously & like seriously into.
A big shout out 2 my Rev. It shows the pain is not only on team parents & students alone. I read every single post everyday & i feel like reading it 2 the ears of them asuu.
fellow youth since asuu no fit end their own strike by derslf e go beta we end am 4 dem abi.
So i say everyone resume school & your school fee be paid to each lecturer's account.
No hot feeling believe me!!!
But honestly i pray this doesn't get to the point were violence will be in the hands of angry youths. Because tell me ' What will EDUCATION be without US; what will WE be without EDUCATION.'
Eneh Anna Ogechi.
