If every nigerian could speak out like this nigeria wont be in a senseless recession like this.we need more youths like this to change the bleak future of nigeria .silence gives power to mediocracy

Sveen:
I blame the guy for his predicament. He is wise enough to write a lengthy epistle about his varsity, thereby subjecting the School and it's authorities into abject ridicule and disrespect, as if that wasn't enough, he went ahead and threaten them that he is untouchable, and then including his name in his write-up in the process. Ergo, i daresay he had it coming. No be only microcosm you go see, na micro-organism.

Cc. lalasticlala

y blame he never told u he was in any predicament.

Many have come and gone in the Aluta sphere. He isn't the first and will definitely not be the last. I commend his courage and salute his bravery. But there are better ways to make ur grievances felt.
Aluta has been around since ages. And nau our administration still gets worse. Many of our current leaders were Aluta agitators themselves while at skul. Hut now, they seem to have lost it. Why sacrifice ursef?

Not my employment

The truth is, this young man should kiss his dreams of graduating from UNILAG goodbye -- it's too late to turn the hand of time.

Although I see this as commendable it is still recklessness to the nth degree. If he practiced the art of anonymity he would've kept the school staff guessing while reaping the benefits of paid school fees.
At this point in time only private universities would enroll him of which he has to start all the way from first year. I do not envy him nor do I wish any relative of mine to emulate his actions.

Not UNILAG. His predecessors like Sowore did far worse yet they still graduated. The university Senate will be divided on his case and some lecturers,especially Alumni lecturers who are in the majority, will even bring him under their wings for mentoring.

The guy is nt only tired of nigeria educational system but i think he is gt backings and admission into a foreign university that would appreciate his intelletual abilities.

Yes, he cannot surmount the forces against him. His approach is very foolish. He has succeeded in ruining himself. He could have presented his case in a much better way, he would have been a blessing to pass his message across and keep his student status.

Civil? Civil..... wen their rights as student to enjoy basic amenities has been seized/held back.

And you think in Nigeria life is all bout being a graduate?

This guy will Excell even without a certificate... Quote me anywhere...

Who school help for this country?..

Are you saying that his predecessors called their tutors names too? Even if they did, how many of them ended up being like Sowore?

Sorry oooo

[quote author=Jethrolite post=49003826]I love the guts of this guy but he lacks strategy and is undermining his opponents. In the end, he will beg.

The last guy that behaved like this in my uni days was rustic ates for 8 semesters and a memo sent to all Nigerian universities not to give him admission. He actually got the rustic action while I was in secondary school but I believe he resumed 300L while I was in final year. The severity of the situation has not dawned on this young man yet. [/quote

U think if he gat no certificate or all Universities in Nigeria refused giving him admission would make him fail in life?

I pitty the lives of those professors and those self acclaimed PhD holders... Thier life will not end well if what this guy says is true...

And Hey... This guy will exceed In all endeavours of his life.. Not getting a certificate won't make him poor... He is not dumb!!!!

cowards will say this guy shouldn't speak his mind forgetting that a mute man's destiny is misfortune,we really need a revolution in this country(revolution doesn't have to be violent).these current leaders destroyed what they enjoyed,took away what they were given from us.i can remember during GEJ's era a goat came out to utter rubbish that Nigerian graduates are not employable on NTA,how will students under such conditions be and you expect the best from them?to go school now is wahala,no free textbook(thank God for the internet),the hostels are terrible because they(the authorities) wont renovate them so that the students would be pushed to rent an apartment(which is usually owned by their cohorts) off campus which is insanely expensive. curriculum sef is outdated.shiiiiior

Greatest Akokite doing Nigerian Students proud since 1962

He just made himself clear by saying that the society expects more from his lecturers and if they don't deliver, the investment made to them amounts to a waste.
Check the history of UNILAG, even right from the era of Professor Awoniyi, Prof Akin Adesola, they always have people and students like this.There was even Olusegun Maiyegun who wears a natural heavy fearsome dreadlock and was the predecessor of Sowore. UNILAG has its history and tradition and clearly a matured university,not just a first class first generation university by mouth.
Don't you see that Sowore is already giving him his Sahara reporters platform to push Femi's struggle.
This is UNILAG. They are masters at objective and constructive aluta and they always get what they want!!

He should have been expelled straight away as I'm sure he really doesn't want a degree from the conclave of ignoramus that he thinks the UNILAG Senate is. Raw bravery without tact and sense is absolute lunacy. He deserved what he got.

He hasn't ruined himself in the eyes of those who have integrity. We've got to stop being cowards about our future.

Really?
Then UNILAG would never have produced the likes of Sowore!!

on point, too many misplaced priorites in this country

I dey tell you and the guy in question is quite brainny.
Guts over fear.

Oh, Sowore called the UNILAG Senate a conclave of ignoramus and described his professors as daft? Can you give me a link? Being an activist is different from being abusive.

osibenaezekiel:
I must say on this platform that the likes of this guy is what we need in our society. It will be a thing of joy to me as a person to associate with this guy. The likes of him are ghandi,Mandela,Luther king of yesterday. I think as a youth we have to begin to damn consequences in this country. So that we don't end up becoming generations of COWARDS.

Thanks for your post. Are you seeing how some people are condemning this guy? Unbelievable!

Please put the word in the right perspective so you will not give a generalized interpretation to the word 'Ignoramus'.He never said Prof Bello is ignorant in Chemical Engineering,his religion or family vocations. He just proved that as far as the main issue that led to the peaceful protest remain unadressed,his professors are either outrightly ignorant of the main issue or pretending to be ignorant of the main issue that led to the peaceful protest. He called them out to defend that tag they gave the public based on their actions.
Femi is a bright clearheaded young man, he is well grounded in his thought process and highly intelligent. The management should have seen it coming by not addressing the main issue instead of rushing to weild the stick of rustication. In case you don't know the venue of that Femi's interview in the video,that is the front of the Senate building where the VC office is located and the building right behind him is the University of Lagos Senate Council Chambers!!!
How many universities in Nigeria will allow that? This is UNILAG not all these glorified secondary schools calling themselves universities

Our learner are just too proud to accept the truth. The society has changed when student don't say anything and allow elders to make such decision. People are talking . This boy better keep talking someone is watching to pick him up. But his mouth will put him in trouble ooo

If exposing a crime is said to be a crime; then it is safe to say we are being ruled by criminals. d talk burst my head

Just like your hero. It is only stupid people who think that they need to insult people to make their case. Young man, you can make your case, even forcefully, without descending into the murky water of abuse. You can disagree with people without becoming disagreeable. Apparently you and your immature hero find that simple concept difficult to grasp. But you will be doing yourself a great favour by learning that. It is a skill you will need if you hope to relate with people, seniors and juniors alike, at workplaces and in the larger society.

"i'd love to give him scholarship to phd level" or I would have loved?

I there any difference?

[quote author=Snow5 post=49005212][/quote]This is a person we're talking about here and we should remember that firstly he has a family, especially a mother. Secondly, he has chosen the path of education. Thirdly, be realistic, so you think it is easy to switch from educationist to hustler or business person. If you were in his shoes, would you have the guts or shoe such stupidity to go as far as he has gone? From his looks you can see he is from an average Nigerian family, by average, I mean the definition of average Nigerian family by the world Bank. Like I said, he totally lacks strategy because this fight is one he will hardly win. Instead of arguing over this, let's see the eventual outcome.

for your economic model computation and those econometrics rubbish theories you teach your students.


This is not project planning class where you come to disturb students with your unending battery of questions

The Nation’s investment of knowledge on you to make you a scholar is a WASTE. Your first class honours degree is the true definition of a FIASCO.


They are PhD holders. I call them ACADEMIC IGNORAMUSES! .


Are there no “common sense” persons in the management anymore? .

Are you saying that because it ended well for some of them, it would automatically end well for him? You will be surprised. The guy is foolish, you can't argue with that. I have seen other Aluta struggles, read the things they have to say but I have hardly criticise them because they were the definition of constructive and diplomacy which are totally lacking in this fool. Nobody in his right mind would want to be associated with him, he is too impulsive, too arrogant and too tactless to be listened too. Yes, his grievances are real but the way he presented them makes him a fool. He is not addressing his fellow mates. These are his tutors for goodness sake and these are people who can cause a considerable damage to his future unless of course he is exceptionally bright to develop himself without formal education or financially capable to end up in a foreign University.

Left to me, he would be rusticated not for 4 semesters but for life until he becomes remorseful. Ain't the type of youth I would want to lead me nor want to occupy a strategic position in this nation. Before you crucify me, I have been an advocate right from high school but I try as much as possible to be tactful in my approach and when I am not, I often apologise.
