The power of social media is quickly emerging a galvanizing force to enable individuals vent their greivances against the powers that be. It is against this backdrop that one social media user on popular discussion forum Nairaland listed his demands to the Federal Government.
His demands which include compensation for extended housing, damages for extension of graduation timeframe and others, received over 90 endorsements on the site.
Here is what he wrote:
I am personally forwarding a letter to the Fed Govt and ASUU becos we the students will soon go on strike for the delay. Until our demand are met, we won’t attend classes. The demands listed are
1. As a final year student I was suppose to graduate this September but for the delay of ASUU things went opposite. I am charging them for damages.
2. I programmed my house rent expiring date in school to fall in September so that once I graduate I park my load. But for the delay, my house rent has expired on the 14th of Sept. So they better add 90k to the money they want to collect from Fed Govt or they pay from the money they are expecting from Fed Govt.
3. My Project labouratory work has been tempered with thereby spending additional money to correct it. If not for the strike I would have completed it without delay.
For this, I am holding ASUU and Fed Govt ransom for these extra expenses they caused us.
