LASU AND OAU : WHY NIGERIANS MUST SAVE ITS UNIVERSITY SYSTEM FROM ASUU

"The truth is always self evident. It requires no one to fight on its behalf. When the truth goes to war in any situation, it ultimately defeats & destroys all elements of falsehood and concoctions that stand on its way".


Just some days ago, I wrote about the failure of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) to say the truth about happenings at the Lagos State University (LASU). ASUU has failed to present the true facts about happenings in LASU to the world but rather, it has chosen to proliferate lies and blackmail against the LASU Management led by Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun, the university vice chancellor all in a bid to whip up sentiments and misinform unsuspecting members of the public.
The article : "WHEN WILL ASUU SAY THE TRUTH IN LASU" had barely rested when a professor and stalwart of ASUU at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) "Professor Richard Akindele" was caught in a sex for grade scandal.
This OAU professor had demanded for marathon sex from a final year female student over a pass grade in a particular course he teaches. Whoever went through the Nigerian university system may not be too enraged about this. However, what is interesting about this whole happening is how the body that should fight against this cankerworm has instead chosen to promote it as its leaders are usually fingered in such insane escapade. The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) over the years has done nothing towards holding its members to high moral standards. How will they even do that when these Union leaders and "comrades" are actively engaged in such illegality?

At the Lagos State University, LASU, where ASUU is busy using lies(thus making a mockery of themselves) to defend its two leaders that were rightfully dismissed for alterations and extortion of money from students, one of those fronting this show of shame - Mr Oyekan Adeolu, the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU-LASU is a notorious abuser known for sexually molesting female students in his office. Mr Oyekan who is equally a Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University is one of those teachers that passionately demand sex for grades. Furthermore, I recall during my final days as a postgraduate student in LASU when one Dr Ayodele Oluwole of the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences was on the verge of raping a female student in a hotel room before things went south. Even Dr Oseni Afisi of Department of Philosophy is known to dish out grades at the rate of five thousand naira (#5,000) per course for the male students while demanding for marathon sex from the female students. Dr Dele Seteolu of Department of Political Science equally spends more time running after female students with a view to get them to bed as opposed to his main occupation which is to teach students and mould them into responsible leaders. Now, very interestingly, all these aforementioned Lecturers are the ones fronting for ASUU in LASU. They are the ones cooking lies against the university vice chancellor and inundating the media with falsehood all in a bid to shield their evil dealings and blackmail the university authority against prosecuting them for their misdeeds. I saw all these during my stay in LASU and I wondered why all members of ASUU-LASU excos and their die hard supporters are those with skeleton in their cupboards? Why is their national leadership shielding and funding them too? Why are these teachers bent on plunging our university system to a point of no return?
Consequently, if ASUU has such bad eggs within their circle, how then do we expect them to act in favour of justice? Terrible things are happening in Nigeria Universities, and such criminals hide under the protective canopy of ASUU. In fact, investigative journalists should work with students across universities in Nigeria to expose the shady dealings of serial abusers like Mr Oyekan Adeolu who is the Assistant General Secretary of ASUU in LASU and the likes of Professor Akindeles that are dotted across our campuses in Nigeria.

More importantly, university managements must encourage whistleblowing and they must also be willing to bring perpetrators to book without any fear of intimidation. Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, the Vice Chancellor of OAU must hence rise up to the occasion with a view to ensure justice is done in favor of the emotionally battered female student while also saving the image of the university. Professor Ogunbodede must also put in place measures that will prevent a future reoccurrence. At the Lagos State University,LASU for instance, the university vice chancellor - Prof. Fagbohun whom students can easily send text messages encourage whistle blowing and this has greatly helped to expose and flush out some criminals in academic gowns from LASU.

Nigerians must also be ready to hold ASUU and its leaders to high moral standards and accountability in Nigeria. In another light, how come ASUU knows how to perfectly ask for money (union dues) but cannot simply put in place mechanisms to bring the corrupt ones among its rank to book? While the Holy Bible posited in Mathew 26:41 that "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak". For ASUU, the spirit and flesh are not only weak but they've equally been programmed to do evil and protect them. That is the era we are now. The era of "comrades" using unionism to veil their evil operations.


For the development of our educational sector and Nigeria as a nation, we as a people must rise up and wrestle our university system from certain individuals bent on destroying the lives of our female students as well as the future of their male colleagues.

God bless Nigeria!!!
