The news of his graduation spread like wildfire last Saturday following his post on his Facebook page which heralded the news.His Facebook page was awashed with encomiums and congratulatory messages.Akinola Saburi a.k.a Malcom X's joy knew no bound when he wrote his last paper on Saturday after spending over a decade(1999-2013).

Saburi was in 2003, the General Secretary of the Students Union before he was later elected as the president in 2006/07 session but his administration was locked in horns with the school management since day one based on the presumed believe that his election was rigged.During his reign as president,he fought every oppressive policy of the university management which landed him in detention at Ilesha prison for six months without trial.He he rarely compromise his stand on fundamental issues.

Even,after his return from prison,he still continued the struggle such that he was declared a persona non grata in Osun State by men of the State Security Service.He was later reinstated to continue his prog.

Also,his name flew about on the net through out that day.No doubt,Saburi his a hero and a model to young comrades like us.I join the numerous people who have congratulated him to honour this living legend.....Saburi! Saburi! Hai Hai Oh!...................Comrade Cordree

Congrats to him

You say 14 years is barely? Na wao.

He is hero and legend

14 years = 2 degrees, 2 masters and a phD.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison to become the first black President of SA. Dont know who Saburi is, but mark my word he will be more successful in politics and in life than most people who graduated with first class in his set. He indeed is a hero.

I hope he goes to NYSC as a normal 20year old graduate

He is not hero or legend, he is plain stupid!

Wasting his productive years in school.

This is Nigeria sha, people like him make up for the lost years by becoming politicians.

I tell u, ds guy is climbinp up in politics in few yrs to come. By now, some political parties have started includin him in thier 'shortlistings', let nobody pity ds guy, he's gonna be the nxt 'honorable'.
But dnt expect much from him cos in nigeria, absolute power corrupts absolutely!!!
Congrats dude, Jes like mandela, u've succeeded in fooling us all by gettin unnecessarilly detained.
Did i hear u say hero? Hehehehe, i think like mandella, he's jes ambitious. Hero ko, heroine ni.
Enjoy your political career jare, be d man.

Ok

Congrats to him, just that people like Labaran Maku were like him, but now they are selling out the the people they once fought for.

hehehehehe na so e easy?

Student Unionism does not pay...that's the moral of the story. The good news is that he stood for what he believed in and the end surely justified the struggle. Kudos to him. Greatest Nigerian Student!!!

PICTURE Pls!!!!

i wish him the best ahead

There used to be a guy like this in uniben back in the days, wasn't a politician though, very brilliant but he never graduates from school, iwhen I entered school, he was in final year , to my greatest suprise when I was leaving they said he was just about entering final year . He moved from department to department, held tutorials here and there, and paced about like some1 who wasn't mentally stable. Only God knows where he is now.

They nEed to add a master degree to it he deserves it

Those abusing this comrade don't know what they are saying, they are those that will perpetually be in slavery in the guise of employmentm

This guy has already build his CV if you don't know, it is his type Human right watch and transparency international are looking for.
