Hey nairalanders, we all know that there has been an ongoing strike between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU). However, I would like us to share our personal experiences and how well we've used this period of strike to our advantage.

Starting with me, I was very lucky to have finished my first Semester Examinations before the strike started. Ever since, I have been developing myself with skills acquisition. I learnt all about make-overs before I started my masters programme. Right now, I'm putting all my skills into practise and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Just recently, I have also developed an interest in Events planning, Hall decoration, cake baking, learning new bridal hairstyles, bridal shopping, etc. I have a lot of job ahead of me, (traditional and bridal make-overs). For me, this period of strike has been a time of self-discovery. Time waits for no one and nothing last forever, let's enjoy and make good use of every moment of our lives.

I know we all have stories to tell. We are multi-talented and unless we make an attempt to follow our passion and interest, we may never know how richly endowed we are. Please let's share our opinions and have fun while we wait for Federal Government and ASUU body to reach a consensus.
