Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - ASUU is on strike again! Who cares? SMH

I don't know who you are, but from your writing and cave man attitude, I sincerely hope you are not a "university don." If you are, then Nigeria's public education is indeed enduring a crisis. And you are obnoxious and rude to boot. If any of these thugs is old enough to be my father, he should be in a retirement home enjoying puréed goat meat. Nonsense.
