'God bless university of ilorin and its products'
most federal unis are living on past glories and the student acclaimed 'great' ife is no exception.The only uni that is presently writting its history book is unilorin.Ilorin is fast approaching greatness by winning prizes in various departments.No wonder,it is comfortably sitted on 1st position on webometric ranking.
'BETTER BY FAR'
oau better by strike.

The local authorities dont have any stake in it as regards the question asked by odunharry,and to all who wants to know why OAU is great then maybe u shld ask seun himself (owner of nairaland)
But why the strike again now? when i was in skl then we used to have as much strike as lectures and it greatly affected us but somehow we weathered the storm and we are where we are today.]

seriously, the whole education sector in Nigeria is in a state of emergency.

hunsu:

Fabrorode concocted lots of lies and i wonder what kind of man he is.i do not understand why are some people asking the greatness of ife! all i employ you to do is to go and research on the awards, outstanding achievement  made by both student and lecturers btw 2000-2010.do you know that there  is a program going on from MIT and OAU is the first to pioneer student in that line.do you also know that most of the devices such as flat screen, flash and the likes are done by OAU student in diaspora do you also know that the stuctures in this school cannot be compare to any in Nigeria.DO MORE RESEARCH AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY IT IS CALLED GREAT IFE.recently[b] a professor in oau is the first ever to get a grant of over $100000 for research in africa[/b] out of over 100 candidates all over the world that apply for it.Man if you no know pls shut up.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OF THE GREATEST IFeeeeeeeeeeeee E

oh lord, i still cant believe this kind of thing happens in Nigerian Universities, is it stones u want the administrators to use to run the schools? Majority of students are foolish am sorry to say, while your SUG guys are following politicians and collecting big money from them, u are following "struggle", getting extended stay in school while they have already started a political/thuggery career for themselves.

If you want a University Education then u must be ready to pay for it. Go anywhere in the world, You have to pay for University Education. Imagine, you are paying 2k for acceptance fee, $15?? those of u who have applied to UK schools, how much do you even pay for application in some cases? u want the best yet u dont want to pay, does success come free? do good things come free? In developed countries that we always run to and love their infrastructure, people pay taxes as much as 50% to maintain those infrastructure,

Pls make we hear word abeg. This aluta over school fees is stupidity of the highest order. And i dont want to hear any silly excuse of how the economy is hard, if you dont have a sponsor you can teach secondary school students for SSCE or JAMB and make money for yr fees, In the US, UK students work and school at  the same time,

You guys are just wasting your time, and unfortunately your life. IF YOU WANT GOOD EDUCATION YOU MUST PAY. FULL STOP!!!

If you have not been there you would never understand. This is a school which is surrounded by hills, mountains and great bushes, but has never been taken over by cultists, a school where you can walk safely anytime of the day, read anywhere you like and go anywhere you want all this was achieved not by the school authorities but by the vigilant students.

This is a school where you can't just harass any student, in fact in my time which was quite recent if you lay your hands on a Lady, you are liable to ferefe sisi.
This is a school where for just 20,000 naira or so misappropriation of funds the student union president was almost lynched, and several union leaders have been impeached and beaten for embezzlement of paltry funds.

This is a school where basic amenities like light, water is fairly constant because the students would not allow themselves been shortchanged.

This is a school where fro m the day of resumption hundreds of students flock to reading areas when exams is still many months away.
This is a school where the students have been making waves all over the world and in the several fields just like other schools too.

Every school use the term Great, Great UItes, Great Akokites etc but we make the loudest noise and we are very proud to say it, so if some others cant proclaim their greatness as much as we do, we would not apologise for our behavior.

And even in those times past where people claim the glories exist, there was a whole lot of activism, in fact Fela mentioned it in one of his songs ' craze world be dat, where dem kill de students for zaria and ife'.

While all that has been said, just like with evry other movements and protests, the protests are often overdone and the student unions allow selfish and ideological jargons get in the way of reasoning, and they are the ones that go into negotiations with the school.
And OAU students don't shut the school, its the School authority that use it to just punish students and they see it as an easy way out of a crisis situation.
