ASUU/FG FACEOFF, WHO BLINKS FIRST? The book of the CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 1.And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh month of the reign of the King Jona that the Land was indeed troubled and the people cried out to the King saying 2.O king, may ye live forever. This day have we milk and honey in the Land and yet we still hunger 3.But the King Jona ignored the people of the Land and continued to drink from the golden Vessels of the palace and did eat of the fattlings of the cows which were in the Palace. 4.And it came to pass that those who teach the students of the Great schools of the Land cried unto the King Jona saying. 5. Help us O ye king, for our schools are desolate and dilapaidated. The roofs did fall and the places wherein we conduct research are empty. 6. There is total darkness upon the Land and we cannot teach the people effectively. 7. And the Leaders of the teachers sent emmisaries unto the King Jona but the King paid no heed to their plea 8. And he instructed the praise singers to blow the harps and beat the drums to celebrate the great things which he doeth for the Land. 9.And it was so on the 5th day of the seventh month of the year that the Leaders of the Teachers of the Great schools said 10. Now therefore hath the King failed to give us straws and he said unto us Give me bricks that i may use to build my empire, how then does he expect us to make the bricks. 11.And he who was appointed to speak on behalf of the teachers by name Nasire Fagga said 'in so much that the King Jona heareth not our cries, now therefore let us Lock the schools and teach not 12.That students may not receive lessons and that the great schools may be paralysed, perdventure, the King will heed our cries. 13.And when this was announced in the Land, the Students of the School made merry and were exceedingly happy for they thought an opportunity was given to them to relax not knowing that the downing of tools would take a long time. 14.And it was so that the teachers of the Lower schools also refused to work saying,'Our schools crieth for help and there ariseth none to save her' And in this wise was the schools shut down. 15.And it was so that one of the Ministers of the Land who was appointed to mediate in the crisis who was of the tribe of the riverine areas by name Nyelson Weki was full of wine and made merry. 16. And he travelled down to the southern part of the Land near the city of the waters to create confusion in the Land where Ruler Amachi reigned. 17.And the people cried saying'see ye this day our Minister who should solve the problems of our schools gallivanting and constituting nuisance over the land' 18.And the people were indeed sorrowful. CHAPTER 2 1.And it was so that the King Jona called one of the rulers of the land, of the region of the Beneu he who they called Gab Suwsam saying 2.Come to my aid my brother for the teachers saith we will teach not until our wages are paid and our schools built 3.And he said unto the King, May ye live forever, now will I leave my Domain and would come down to the palace right now for no help is too big to render to our Lord the King. 4.And the Ruler Gab Suwsan together with her which was in charge of the money of the Land, Ngo Okon Ihiala called unto the Leaders of the Teachers saying ' O ye worthy servants of the King, we are full of appreciation for ye for that which ye do in our great schools 5. I beseech you therefore by the mercies of the Living God that Ye present your Labour in our schools a living sacrifice, worthy and commendable by the King Jona. 6.For the Land sow not, neither do the grains sell. Silver and Gold have we not in the treasury . 7. And the teachers of the Land were greatly displeased with these sayings and they cried out to the people of the Land saying 'O ye people of the Land, 8. Hear ye this day that which the King Jona saith unto us 9. And it was so that when the sayings were said in the ears of the people that the people were amazed and wondered saying 'O that the Lord of our fathers would have mercy on us and come to our aid. 9.Where does the King Jona get such silver and golds to give to them which make laws for the Land. 10.Or how does the King Jona maintain the ten Fliers which are in his Villa or how does the King get two billion pieces of gold which one of the Ministers of the Land did Journey with?. 11.How then does the King tell us that he hath no silver or gold to pay our teachers. 12, And the people cried unto the King saying, pay ye the teachers for a worker is worthy of his wages. 13. And when the King would not hear them, they cried saying ' O ye people of the Land, see ye now that the King Jona shareth not the wealth of the Land for the people of the Land that we will mobilise to get him out of the throne in the next elections. 13. And it was so that when one of them which blew the trumpet of the King whom they call Ruben Abat heard these sayings that he called another Trumpeter, Doyen Okup saying 14. Hear ye what the people say. now therefore let us inform the King so that we may continue to eat of the good of the Land. 15. And the King Jona said unto the trumpeters saying' call me Gab Suwsan, Hajia Ruqa Rufia,the same who was the Minister of the Schools, Emek Wogu of the dept of Labour and productivity, Okon Ihiala of the purse of the Land and the King said unto them 16.Now therefore, these Teachers demand 87 billion pieces of Silver. But know ye that if we give them these silver, then would the Teachers of the lower school and that of the Teaching school and they which teach not say behold the teachers of the Great Schools have been fed by the King, 17.Come now therefore and let us also go to the palace that we may eat and drink and be merry. 18. Now therefore, let us give them 30 billion pieces of Silver and Promise to rebuild the schools with 100 billion pieces of silver that they may leave us in peace. 19. And the King Jona sent the Gab Suwsam to announce the goody to the Leaders of the Teachers and the Teachers cried out and said 20.See ye this day how the King seeketh to blackmail us in the sight of the people of the Land. He seeketh to find fault with us that the people may say 'the King has doeth good unto the teachers and they should open the school'. 21. We pray thee, please tell the king Jona that the sweat ought not to dry on the face of the labourers before they are paid, see ye how he seeketh to remove from our wages. CHAPTER 3 1. And the teachers called to the elder statesmen that they may appeal to the King to pay them their wages. 2. And the trumpeter of the King, Doyen Okup cried unto the people saying, 'see how the teachers of the great schools seek to suck all the honey of the land that we all may hunger afterward and the people sent the trumpeter back to the King Jona saying 'pay us our wages'. 3.
