Tragedy struck yesterday as a fresh
graduate of the Imo State University
took his last breath as students
poured him water in jubilation of
final year completion.
What seem to be jubilation turned
into a gathering of sorrow when
the victim was running away from
a number of students who pursued
after him to pour dirty water on
him. In that quest to dodge the
water being poured on him, he fell
into a soak-away pit and got
drowned.
The dirty water from the pit
however is partially passing a light
current as the pit is dug beside
their transformer where earth-wire
is buried.
Pouring of water has been banned
in schools but some students would
not obey this.
Many students in this light
unaccepted celebration of final
papers have been injured, poured
acid and some other dangerous
liquids while some other persons
have gone to the great beyond via
this.
I think every final year student
should learn from this as well as
those who dedicate them to pouring
water on university finalists.
