The Rot Of Students' Union, The Downfall Of Nigeria by youngprof1990(m): 11:26pm On Nov 06, 2015 |
THE ROT OF STUDENTS’ UNION, THE DOWNFALL OF NIGERIA Students’ union of today has become rancid due to the change in system of leadership from the grass root to the apex. The sole aim of founding student union has been neglected for something else which has caused, is causing, and will cause series of calamity to Nigerian students and the nation at large if the orientation of engaging in unionism cannot be changed from selfishness to selfless services, if the so-called leaders of our union today cannot see the position of their leadership as a sacred mandate from Nigerian students and God almighty. However, the discouraging story of students’ union in Nigeria is that of whatever discouragement one could ever think of in their wildest imagination. Looking at the environment where student union exists, they mostly exist as “political vegetables”, neglecting the cross they are called to carry. Moreover, it has become our usual habit to make pledges that we will not fulfill. We sing day and night ‘’Arise, O compatriots! Nigerians call obey To serve our fatherland With love and strength and faith The labour of our Heroes past Shall never be in vain To serve with heart and might One Nation bound in freedom Peace and Unity’’. The student union which should be a charge for Nigeria government has now lost its vibrancy, competency and total power. My fellow comrades, my fellow country-men (compatriots), when are we going to be liberated from the government of semi-slavery! When will we enjoy the freedom of democracy! When will we retrieve the labour of our past heroes from destruction and restore the lost glory of our union and Nigeria! When will we put aside negligence and self interest for service with heart and might! When will we fix the worn out peace and unity to say ‘’Nigeria we hail thee Our own dear native land Though tribe and tongue may differ In brotherhood we stand Nigeria, I’m proud to serve Our sovereign motherland’’. It is time we are guided, it is time we restore the lost glory of our union. COM. FALOHUN PETER PELUMI a.k.a. #YoungProf. |
