Only OAU students both current and past will understand the importance of this story.

Throughout my academic stay in OAU never for once did I fear any cult attack neither did I receive any threat from anyone. It was so unusual even tho it used to be the norm.

OAU students stood in unity and fought Campus Cultism to a halt. This shows the importance and strength in speaking with one voice and fighting together for a just course.

Say no to Cultism , it is a killer of dream and purpose!!!

AFRIKA died a legend,
his blood was shed
so others' can be spared
He died on his bed even if it was gory
But I'm sure he definitely lives on in his glory.

LIVE ON AFRIKA

Every year this story will resurface again. Is it being told to remind the families of the dead ones or brush the ego of the cultist.?
In the 90s and early 2000 stories of killings and unfortunate death filled every where mostly in the east and south south of which this story is way below the ladder of the wanton destructions caused .
This story is painting of a pix where some of our young ones will start liking cultist life rather than the opposite.
Lets give the dead a break to RIP.

Pedagogue:
My account of events before and after the sad day is on many threads.


To sum it up in the shortest summary possible, July 10, 1999 was about 'Freedom'. The people that invaded Ife and their cohorts wanted their own warped idea of 'Freedom'.

Although they won the battle (because they silenced the voice of Afrika), they however lost the war.

From that day on, Ife became totally Free from all semblances of cultism. The invaders and their allies underestimated the collective will of Great Ife students.

Let it be told, every time, that IFE remains the only Tertiary University in Nigeris where students collectively conquered cultism.

I wonder oh!...dunno the essence of repeating it annually.

It was a tragic experience on that unforgettable terrific midnight. Everyone stood the chance of being killed. I jumped out of my room ONNLY with nika in my body as gun shots were being heard from here and there and we were running hecter sceta, some ran to straight bullets and we're hit. That was my most terrifying moment in life, never wish to remember it again!

17 years ago. Do you know some people that were not born then are now in universities. How will they know their history if we do not document it and tell them. History repeats itself because people do not learn.

okonja:


Now that they know, what's the economic importance?

So your grouse is that this historic account of events hold no economic value?

....Hmmmmnnnn!
I remembered how we all cried profusely with FARO IDRiS(sug pro) when he was narrating to us how Africa's head was dismembered. I remember it was in front of bus-sttop shed in front of Moz hall around 6:00am...then d twists of events dt led to arrests, burial...etc. It's just too much.

As I write,My hand still shakes n my heart still palpitates with enormity n intensity of the pain of 17yrs ago.
My heart goes out to the bereaved(families n OAU) Lanre legacy, I salute

butanep:
I was not a student of OAU but I got to hear the story during my service year. That story make me search for the movie called " Omo University " where the story was fully narrated. Tears was rolling down my cheek that very day. I was so sober. Afrika was a great guy. Someone who stood to fight a just course.

I wept more when he was shot and be-headed... Oooo what has he done to deserve death... but his blood was the sacrifices paid to eradicate cultism from OAU and other universities. Ever since then, there was a total war against cultism and they couldn't come out open to display themselves.



Injustice is what has kept Nigeria in this rotten state till now. No fair judgement in every sphere of the Nation.



RIP Afrika... Your type comes once in a century.

Leitner:

You are simply put,an |d|ot!.

Were you born feet first?

How can any sane human being ask why someone who died fighting a just cause is being remembered?

RIP to AFRIKA and all other fallen heroes.
They might have won the BATTLE that day, but great Ife as a whole eventually won the WAR.

Fadahunsi:



This is what you should do:.....

i. Look for a dictionary
ii. Look out for the words "legacy" and "achievement" and find out what the words mean

iii. Ask yourself if what these guys accomplished in IFE qualifies to be any of such words

iv. Also ask yourself if you've done anything that can be categorized in one or any of the two words.


.....only then would you b able to understand why we've refused to let the "dead" rest in this case...
