But what really transpired?  A wounded cow (with blood flow close to the eye) was being paraded to the slaughtering ground which is about a mile and half (sometimes farther) from the livestock’s market of Yanshanu in Jos. Added to the feeble state of this animal was respiratory mucosa effect, yet a reckless herder (sometimes guy/boy) hit the cow with a goad on the eye wound because at some point, the cow didn’t move/moved slowly (front legs were tied together)–immediately the cow fell to the ground due to force it’s hit.

Such oppression is irrefutably done daily.   This JOS senario conforms argument of Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation that “it would first be necessary to transform people’s attitude towards animal.” Over 40year ago, animal a

ASUU struggle....

Hmm That's the reality now the fight is between parent and FG. During ASUU strike some people directly blamed ASUU. Parents and guardians are distraught with discombobulation. They can’t plan and have zero alternatives to public universities since foreign university education isn’t an option for them, and private universities in the country are out of their reach, so now even the public universities are out of their reached, many Nigerians can't afford to pay the school fees release by many public universities, hmm that's the real Dilemma for now.
