Certainly, it is now clear, beyond any doubt, that those in charge, collectively, of running Nigerian governments, at all levels, have declared war against academics in the Nigerian University System (NUS). The devious reason(s) for this war, which has been stealthily waged for more than four decades, is/are best known to the Nigerian governments and their officials including other local and foreign collaborators. However, the reason(s) – of course, not altruistic – cannot be divorced from the currently sustained age-long struggles, by academics in the NUS, to rescue the country’s continuously progressively collapsing public universities from total collapse. It will be unbelievable that there are still academics, in Nigerian public universities, who do not already perceive and/or experience this current reality. Nevertheless, it can be understood that many of our other fellow oppressed citizens may not be well informed concerning the above-mentioned current reality. This article is partly meant for this group of fellow oppressed citizens to get them informed and seek for their continuous support for the seemingly perennial struggles, by Nigeria academics, to prevent the imminent total collapse of public tertiary educational institutions, most especially the universities. This article is also meant for the oppressors, in and out of government, whose interest, collectively, is the destruction of the public wing of the NUS for their private accumulation of wealth, in the same way they succeeded in destroying public primary and secondary education in the country. This intervention will be used to inform these oppressors that their hitherto underground war – against Nigerian academics including other well meaning citizens within the rank of the intelligentsia and intellectuals – is no more a secret. These oppressors have now been so frustrated that government officials and other local agents of foreign “hawks” now come to public to spew filth from their mouths. Obviously, our advice in a recent article has not been heeded by them. For the sake of reference, we humbly concluded in that article that “…….Therefore, to always engage the well meaning intelligentsia and intellectuals, especially ASUU [Academic Staff Union of Universities], not with logic and superior arguments, but with propaganda, name-calling and group labelling is definitely unwise and unhelpful to any government asking to be taken seriously”. This interaction will be short because a lot had been said concerning some people without leadership qualities in Nigeria but who have found, and/or manoeuvred, themselves into leadership positions. These people, instead of working toward developing themselves by learning from those who know, have decided to parade themselves as what they are not. Are these present crops of “Nigerian leaders” leaders or dealers? The answer, according to Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman), is blowin’ in the wind. Nonetheless, we will still try to briefly interrogate some of the arrogant, insolent, contemptuous and dismissive comments, by some government representatives, that give a perfect mirror image of the long-standing mindset of the ruling class in this country. Perhaps this statement concerning the long-standing mindset of the country’s ruling class may have been confined to the realm of conjecture if these government officials who are supposed to know better (although some of us are not deceived to expect much from them) had not come to public space to make comments not even expected in a “beer parlour” as a result of what we aptly term as “diarrhoea of the mouth”. These vacuous remarks (expected from them) may be very disappointing. To be sincere, these shallow thoughtless remarks being referred to are not unexpected by some of us even as some people believe that it should be, especially when they come from someone at the top echelon of an education ministry. Such is the case of the Nigeria’s current Minister of State for Education who was credited with a statement urging members of ASUU “to leave teaching and consider going into farming”. Definitely, there is nothing wrong with being a farmer or engaging in farming. In fact, many of us are farming in different ways. Farming is a great profession recognised worldwide. This profession, with the crude implements it was, and still, executed, provided the wherewithal – before and even during the era of Nigeria’s illusory wealth known as the “oil boom era” that has been rightly renamed “oil doom era” – for many to be what they are today. This country has done well in being a very good example of countries described in The Spectator in 1711 that “It is generally observed, that in countries of the greatest plenty there is the poorest living“.
