Can some please give the email that can be used to report erring bank to CBN?

No benefits whatsoever, the students will be on the losing side everytime. Just look at how unionism stunted the calender of OAU.

Unionism these days is a breeding field for cultism.

Hmmm

A thief as no moral justification to call another thief a thief.

For aluta a gentle man no da oh..... A gentle man no da oh....

Unionism amongst students nowadays has become a cosmetic and sissy affairs dwelling in the spirit of demagogue. This is because students union allow somnabolist to sonorously feed them with poisonous agaragar which made them to stupor.

In sincerity, the pride of student union of today is commatosing into otiosity. Money hunting has instituted hungermonger.

OP thanks for this writeup. There is no more students Union again in our schools. Many of them are puppet of the school authorities, some are cultist, some of them are fraudsters/con men.

I could remember one faculty president in Unilag. He embezzled all the money we got from companies. When the incoming President and speaker wanted to probe him. The Dean of the faculty halt that probe.

Faculty Presidents and departmental Presidents are big thieves.

There was a time student unionism was guided by an ideology. That was the time Socialism nay Communism was being exported around the globe. Many ideological groups sprang up on our campuses and this made their activities somehow purposeful. Another reason why it was so was the small number of institutions at the the time. And the fact that many lecturers belonged to this ideological groups. In fact, Babaginda in 1986 sacked many lectures 'for teaching what they were not paid to teach'. There used to be a lecturer at Ahmadu Bello at the time who was deported by Babaginda to Triland and Tobago, his country. He was accused of making dissidents out of his students. Anyone who has a doubt about the gains made by students' unions in the past should check up the name Segun Okeowo on Google, or talk to any past student of OAU.

O u know how much these SUG aspirants spend on elections,posters,banners,vest

If they finally Emerge into any offices,why won't they flex

The Op is definitely a uniben student.

These are supposed to be our leaders of tomorrow How can we have hope for the future of this country?

Well said and well written....Student Unionism in my school(LAUTECH) has simply become a do or die affair....it is rated even higher than cultism...It has become an avenue for thugs and vagabonds to display their worth and the students suffer for it daily!.....Lautech,Oh my Lautech

Realmcfynest:
Lets us learn history.... The truth is that the ooni of ife is not the foremost king..... He is either a priest ooni'risha or as stated, in one of the ritual ceremonies where nobody was allowed to be seen outside, a foreign woman of no means of tracing her background was captured and was to be used as sacrifices for the gods. She was later spared because she was found to be pregnant beside, it was against ritual requirement. The child from the woman was dedicated to the gods and act as a servant to assist Oduduwa in his day-to-day ritual and voodoo job. The child was named Ooni: meaning "this is Spared One"

This is why alaafin of oyo will not accept ooni of ife as superior because oranmiyan who should have taken over the post of chief priest from his father decided to stay in the old oyo empire which he as already established.

Even the ooni of ife used to pay homage and tax to oranmiyan (alaafin of oyo) until the british cane and changed everything because the King of England assumed a king at Ife, the
cradle of Yoruba, must be superior to all Obas just like the British did in Abeokuta by imposing Alake's superiority over other Obas at Abeokuta. In case of Egbas, Sorunke who led the Egbas from Ibadan to the present Abeokuta was from Oke Ona, where Oba Tejuoso is the King. This is the reason why there is conflict between Alake and Osile till date. .....LET'S LEARN OUR HISTORY

what weed did u smoke?

I am a member of the Students Union in my school. The OP has made very valid points, but the post is indicative of hasty generalization.

Not all Student Unionists are in it for the money. Personal gain is always a factor in everything, but some people actually subsume that in the interest of those they serve and represent.

There was SUG election in Uniport today, you needed to see the number of police hilux right there at the venue. APC and PDP are actually interested in who becomes the executives especially the Student Union President.

The benefits especially in election period like this are overwhelming. Just the other week, a Senator brought millions for students to share. Free food in campus, free accommodation, free sex, free drinks.

Almost all ex Presidents of Student Union in Unipirt upon living the position bought cars not less than 3 million. At least 3 have married and built their own houses. Enough wakis and choppings.

Hope you don't extort money? The ones here in Uniport had the audacity to come to small businesses who pay rent to the university to extort money in the name of Sanitation. Every matriculation & convocation they sell one flimsy sticker to all businesses and share the loot.

TODAY'S STUDENTS' UNIONISM

Upon my admission into the university,my idea of the Students' Union Government was a union which comprises a group of students with similar goals and objectives speaking in one voice not knowing that my definition or decription of Students' unionism has long been reviewed by the Students' "unionists" as a body comprising students who delve mistakenly into school politics to amass wealth for themselves,drive around our campuses in Toyota sienna vans,live in furnished rooms despite the lamentable state of our hostels and wear starched clothes.Students' unionism has been typical of an oxymoron because studentship in recent times has dissociated itself from the essence of unionism.It is quite lamentable and laughable that problems in higher institutions brew when the population of students has increased in tens over the years.
The offices of students' union officials have become too juicy leaving Nigerian students in the hands of leaders who are worse than the occupants of the red and green chambers.Leadership ought to be purpose driven and not that which is backed by finacial appetite.As scholarly as Albert Eisten when offered the position of Isreal presidency declined the offer saying he lacks the natural aptitude to handle official matters.There is no gainsaying Eistien made his mark on earth.The case of students leaders is quite different as they are sponsored by godfathers in schools' governing council or "overgraduate students"."Overgraduate students" are those alumni ou see on our campuses who come to our campuses to invest in students' union elections,all these has given rise to mediocrity in students' union government.
These tom,dick and harry students' leaders emmerge victorious and they go into government to fulfil their purpose which is not to speak as a voice for the students but do the dictates of sponsors and protrude their pockets.The interference of school authorities in students' politics is also a plague to students' activism,the level of tribalism that plays on our campuses is colossal where certain positions are reserved for students of host communities.Often times on our campuses there are clashes between school's annionted candidates and the oba,eze,alafin,emir,sultan,ovie,olu as the case may be.The palaces have become determiners of the lives of young students who are christened "leaders of "tomorrow"
The deplorable state of our hostels today is not due to the bad government we have in Nigeria today but due to the dumb leaders we have on our campuses who have refused to speak for the students who have no choice but to find comfortability in bed bug-ravaged mattresses,bushes housing bed bugs,over crowded hostel rooms,bad toilets and open air bathrooms(student have their bath outside).
Students' activism can no longer be percieved in our schools,maybe it died with Abacha.Students' associations in the departmental and faculty levels are the most handicapped on our campuses,their objectives are simple -host faculty and departmental balls,produce t-shirts and collect dues from which a good proportion of the dues collected leave students' coffers to faculty deans and HODs.These faculty leaders ought to channel the grieviances of their students to the SUG when they can no longer contain the pressure.Contrary to the objective of a sane students' union,leaders protect their GPs to the detriment of students they lead.
Victimization of students has become commonplace on our campuses where students are victimized for not dancing to the tune of greedy lecturers and sexually voracious lecturers who have turned their offices in hotel rooms,when these innocent young women die of abortion their families become painned and when their wombs are destroyed the become prey to their future husbands.The students' leaders have not been able to tame these unsrupulous elements in the name of academics.
The state of overcrowdiness of our lecture theatres is so much in a sorry state,where a lecture hall for five hundred students is made to forcfully occupy over three thousand students.
Arise!students must not be dumb or feign ignorance of this plague,thousands of students united cannot be defeated by a few pot bellied administrators who know of our plights but have not been informed with cries and demonstrations of angry students who have not enjoyed the true benefits of studentship.The school is a micro reflection of the larger society and if we fail as intellectuals the society will die.We must not wait on our "leader" but on the miraculous spirit of "aluta"
Let the unschooled man not say "thank God I didn't go to school.We must talk.

from your write up, I'm beginning to guess you are from Unilorin... "drive around our campuses in Toyota sienna vans,live in furnished rooms despite the lamentable state of our hostels and wear starched clothes."

Unionism is Shit, the excos only have their gains in mind. NLC, SUG and every oda union have always been abt themselves

The question is this? Do they practice student unionism here as it is practiced abroad?
