1971 footage shows student riots in Lagos, following the deaths of two demonstrators at Ibadan by the police.

In retaliation, the protesters burnt down two police posts and hunted down policemen in the city. Police officers were reported to have torn off their uniforms to escape the rioters.
Eventually the police barricaded a road into the city and arrested at least 15 students.

The original protest which was held in the university of Ibadan was about the poor standard of the catering service in the school. The protest had lasted for four days before police opened fire on 3,000 students, killing two and injuring many. These act was what led to protests in other universities.

That was when students were the eyes of the country; when Students Unions officials were not bought over by government officials.

Many of these students were told in 1984 by then HoS Buhari, that they were the future leaders of Nigeria.
Today, they are still “youths “ waiting for the time they will become leaders of Nigeria as promised by Buhari then.

A repeat performance is loading.

We need a bloody revolution in this country to instill the fear of God in the useless so-called leaders of this country; something more violent and macabre than the French revolution.

Bloody revolution abi? Will you be the one to shed the blood for the revolution?

My dad was at the forefront of this protest, I could remember grandpa was said to have seen my dad on the television and was begging people to help them locate my dad and bring him home.

history always repeat itself !,,

If we don’t constantly remind ourselves of the history and foolishly forget the lessons.

Why has the Jewish Holocaust not repeated itself?
Has the American civil war repeated itself?

Amazing.!

I wonder where all those people would be now. If still alive, they should be in their late seventies early eighties.

It's also instructive that they were protesting 'poor catering services'

Don't forget this was a time when the university was still in the peak of it's glory.

You had state of the art dining hall with different food selections available to student just like you have in any modern eatery.

Students room would be cleaned and bed made up as you go for lectures, just like in hotels

All your dirty laundry be washed ironed, etc.

Sigh*

If only they could see the condition of our ivory towers now.
