They invited him and he honoured the invitation, yet they expelled him. If he did not honour the invitation they will point it was a reason for his expulsion.

Before you come out in the open to make allegations against a School management in Nigeria, you need to have solid evidence. When you have them, the best thing is to forward them to popular blogger or online news papers telling them you want to remain anonymous. This is the way to go. Another way is to open an anonymous facebook account and publish these informations there

You need evidence. Written, audio, video evidence. If you have evidence you have no problem. He was invited to the School Disciplinary Committee so that they could find out if he actually have evidence. These guys know that all his allegations might be right and they will find a way to deal with the culprits quietly but again, he should have been wise enough. He should have had a backup plan because I know that he knows the consequence of his actions is outright rustication.

I commend his courage but I wish he was able to present evidence. The evidence would have helped him to hire a good lawyer, sue the university for millions of damages and whoops he becomes a millionaire even if the case takes forever. He will win the case but without evidence, the allegations are just mere allegations.

He was not expelled because he mentioned the transportation malaise or the police harassment. He was expelled because he could not substantiate the allegations questioning the integrity of the management and staff of the university.

A 200-Level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Michael Adewale Ifemosu, has been expelled by the university for allegedly posting an open letter on his Facebook page to the Vice Chancellor, Prof Kolawole Salako.

FUNAAB said Ifemosu was expelled because he posted an open letter on the internet to the Vice Chancellor, in which he was said to have raised what it called allegations and misrepresentation of fact about the university.

Ifemosu, with Matric No. 20016/1186, was said to have posted the letter on Facebook in July 2019.

DAILY POST learnt that Ifemosu is the Convener, Youth In Good Governance Initiative (YIGGI), and Ogun State Secretary for African Action Congress (AAC) – the political party under which Omoyele Sowore contested as the 2019 presidential candidate.

In the said open letter, Ifemosu talked about the alleged poor transportation system of the institution, as well as the way students were reportedly being harassed by the police.

He accused the management of “lackadaisical attitude and unprofessional management decisions” which he said was causing calamitous implosion in FUNAAB.

His words, “Students lectures starts 9am and it is no more news that Funaabites queue, fight, and struggle to attend classes and also leave the school premises, however The Vice chancellor and the entire University Management team is seen with one or two official car(s); this makes transportation easier for them while student remain stranded and languishing in an unending tragedy.

“The Funaab Bureau of Transport (FUNAABOT) has performed below expectations despite millions of naira allotted and allocated to the department for the purchase and renovation of MANCOTS but all went down the drain. Those monies remain carpeted till this moment.

“Again! I read in the News that the Vice-Chancellor of Funaab wrote to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) that they are free to arrest students found wanting and guilty of cybercrimes.

“I would have said it was a good move not until I became a victim and also received report of the arrest and detention of innocent students who were unjustly Harrassed , Extorted and Brutalized.

“This is what you get when people who if managing a poultry, would make sure eggs are stolen, are given a University to manage.

“It is rather unfortunate that we have accepted the sad reality that relegates our ‘scholars’ to chasers of political appointments – people who are ready to lick butts to be made INEC returning officers, Political Aides, VCs , Directors, Deans and even Head of Departments.”

Angered by Ifemosu’s open letter on Facebook, the young man had his studentship terminated by the Senate of the university.

In his letter of expulsion signed by the Registrar, Dr Bola Adekola, the university confirmed that it expelled the student for writing an open letter on Facebook to the Vice Chancellor of FUNAAB.

The expulsion letter, which was received by Ifemosu on Friday, reads:

“You would recall that in July 2019, you posted an open letter on the Internet to the Vice Chancellor of the school in which you raised allegations and misrepresentation of fact about the university.

“At the Student Disciplinary Committee meeting held on August 29, 2019, you were invited for the purpose of giving you fair hearing on the allegation of an act perpetrated through the Internet, that is inimical to the integrity and corporate image of the university.

“You would also recall that during the interaction, you took full responsibility for the publication and were unable to substantiate any of the allegations raised in your letter against the management and staff of the university.

“Senate at its 217th Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, October 17, 2019, considered the report of the Student Disciplinary Committee on the allegation and thus decided that you have been found culpable of insubordination to university officials, defamation of character and act perpetrated through the Internet that is inimical to the integrity and corporate image of the university based on the extant rules and regulations on penalties for various offenses by students of the university.

“Consequent upon the decision of Senate, you’re hereby expelled from the university as provided for the offenses committed by you.

“You should surrender all university properties in your possession including the university identity card to the Dean, Student Affairs.”

“Henceforth, you are not allowed to enter the university campus without a prior written approval of the Registrar. The University Chief Environment officer is by a copy of this letter instructed to strictly prevent you from entering the campus forthwith.”

Nigerians, especially the youths, seem to constantly run on emotions and not commonsense. You write such a letter on Facebook with your full identity on display and you think that, in the totalitarian Nigeria we find ourselves, you will not be punished? Especially, as you have NO evidence? Stories and rumours from your now former classmates aren't evidence, you know.

You can EASILY write the same letter, ask Sowore your mentor to publish it on his Sahara Reporters which has a greater reach and write it under an alias. You musn't use your name. Remain anonymous.
You will think this is common sense. I hope those people giving you "likes" on Facebook, saying "ride on Baba", and hailing you for intangible social media impact can help give you a degree. They are already here, shouting "education na scam!", while in some form of secondary or tiertary education themselves. Foolish young people.

You brought this upon yourself. Let us hope others would learn.

But who will address the rot that has consumed Nigeria in all sectors? None. We will keep playing safe and hoping to japa one day, forgetting that the Canadians, and the British have paid the price for their model country.

Education is the key to success.

Don't confuse degree with education. They are two different things. Degree is a certification of your learning, education is that learning. Some people pass through school but never really got educated. They have degrees that they can't defend.

Degree may not be important, especially in developed countries. But education is very important.

You can't survive without education, and there is nowhere you can't get an education.

Vamoose to where? Dilapidated Nysc camp.. or the market where there are no job guarantees. If 5000 funaab students exhibit civil disobedience at once.. who do you think will blink first? You do realize the lad has not even appealed and you've sided with the oppressors. He has done what many of us are incapable of doing.

You can read but can't understand.

He was expelled based on the letter he wrote.
The letter is up there on the first page, yet you are parroting the management's stupid excuse.

It is foolishness to ask someone to substantiate their view of an administration and any deep thinker
knows the implication of such inanity.

If the road in your street is bad and nothing is done about it and you described your chairman of being incompetent despite receiving allocations.
Does it make sense for anyone to ask you to substantiate your "allegation" of the chairman being incompetent
when the bad road is enough pointers to his managerial disability?

Many of us have the ability to read beyond what is on a page and I suspect you are just pretending otherwise.

Even if he can't be reinstated, he must seek legal damage for illegal expulsion because the management
has foolishly backed itself into a corner. I will gladly donate to such a course of action.
