SLIDEwaxie: I just like this man. What else do they want to hear?
We all knw ds yeye protest had been hijacked by the evil-willers of the state and those who are hell-bent on seeing he's out of office!

The OOU students are dunces who dnt knw wot they wanted! Imagine after many had paid and have even started submitting course form, na dt time dem knw say they needed reduction in fees..

Its totally foolish and it lacked senses. Not even when budget has been passed. Shey ogun stste be like lagos wey make almost 400% more in revenue?

oduastates: Do you people realise that over 90 % of the people are not university students or lecturers ?
Do you realise that money expended somewhere is money denied in other sectors and vice versa.
Do you realise that good quality education is not cheap ,and you cannot be complaining about the bad state of education ,and at the same time ,be arguing about 250,000 naira school fees ?
Why is it that we only hear from folks when you want to blackmail the government ?we never see you folks when serious state or national issues are involved .
If you guys are truly from a citadel of learning
And you want to be taken seriously ,the lecturers and students can make alternative budget on how many should be allocated to the different sector of the economy .
But my verdict is that the public service of that country has become self serving .it does not serve the people anymore but itself. .you put forward arguments without proof.

mogentle: The SUG is really showing the signs of being sponsored by opposition especially the Labour Party whose chief financier in Ogun State is nobody but OGD who was responsible for the high fees being paid by OOU students. OGD increased the fees then and there was not a single protest, but now Amosun reduced it, they are not satisfied. Someone even said how much is 40% reduction? I laughed. OOU can never make Amosun to lose election, boys should go back to school and study. This Aluta Jet has missed the Road.

2sExy1: the dude is a kid fed from childhood till he got where he is... he hasn't really experience hash realities of life. I used to think like him until my mum died.

LARRYDKING: We can't rule out the possiblity of this but it's very low compared to the state unis where it's a normal practice.

Articul8: we can not compel every one to act like a nonentity because of wt happened to Fayemi in Ekiti. We cnt because d fear of nt re-elected now act irrationally. Even if he's nt going 2 b re-elected, let the truth be told first. Note: dnt mortgage ur future for mediocrity

CocoaMerchant: He's the best Governor in SOUTH WEST.

His Second Term Tenure Is Secured, PDP would not be able to defeat him next year.



This wishful thinking. PDP is getting stronger by the hour in Ogun state. With the way he has treated OOU students, the support we gave him at the last election is surely going to PDP. We'll cajoled all our family and friends to vote him out of office. APC has still not learnt from Fayemi. He put up more construction and bridges and still lost!

Let him do the right thing at the right time to save 2015.






Meanwhile................Jonathan till 2019.

django1: Do you live in Ogun? Because I don't, its only what I can get online that I post. So if you know about what's going on in that sector, post it.

eaglechild: Free free free

Always wanting it free.

comos: The reduction in school fees is APC agenda to gain votes.
It is not for the interest of the student.
Can you imagine Lagos state Government, telling the state house of Assembly to grant them more fund, just because they reduce LASU school fees.

comos: Why is it when election is coming (after APC lost ekiti) he now chooses to reduce the school fees.
Lagosian are too wise for such moves,
our eyes don open!

olaolayink: because you want to state ur point must you call names?my mama raise me well more than that....now back to the topic,you said you pay between 200-300k per session.please correct me if I'm wrong,for the last 11years all the state own institution fee has been on d high side. I could remember very well that before ogd tenure in ogun state mapoly acceptance fee is 5k but during his regime, acceptance fee sky rocket to 25k5 and the school from 20-30k goes for 60-75k,say goes to oou,tasued,Igbesa poly and d rest.thus this present administration promise that he will look into it but fail too until after 3yrs in office but i think it's better to be late Dan never.
what I'm expecting you to fight for is to be sure if amosun won't change his mind after next election because they re all thief. But remember robin wood is better than king Arthur.

last bullet:- I'm not a polithiefcian.....all i know is there is some fresh air in the state....from good road network to good drinking water combine with peace in d state.....d man dey try small small,unlike dose who dey support cultist fight

Sirniyeh: .
Why do you insult and use harsh words on people because they express their opinions?
It's barbaric and does not speak well with you as the OOU Student Union President

Abbycite: Lest we forget.........

* During the era of OGD, he increased the average school fees to around 70k-100k. Pple cried foul at the time, students protest as usual. Nothing was done

* He (Amosun) being an aspirant at the time, saw this loophole and campaigned to slash the school fees. At a point, he said "if I was given the mandate of running the state, the highest any students would pay is N50,000.

* We thought, "here is the messiah" let's vote for this man.

* We vote, he won, he was sworn in......

* First few months......(nothing was happening) We asked, "what of your promise?" Our Governor said, "I av set up a committee to look into it, I will get back to you".

* After sometime, he announced a 10% reduction in the fees..... we knew this was not what we expected from him but what can we do? We thought to ourselves "let see what he will do"....

* However, every session, there is a gradual increment in the school fees........ which is now in average of N120k - 200k. (Judged the man that said the highest anybody would pay as school fees in his state would be N50,000)

* Every session, we protest the increment of school fees.....he would threatened, harrassed (just like he was doing now)

* Fast forward to 2014..... after the disaster of Ekiti state election, all APC states realized that people have been tolerating them all this while. They decided to act. First, Governor Fashola of Lagos State that has nothing to loose (since he is already running out his second term in office) decided to cut the school fees. Our Governor (Amosun) decided now is the time to act..... He cut the fees by as much as 40% across the states tertiary institutions. (Meanwhile, OOU students have been clamouring for this reduction since 2011)

* Here is the thing, the students have been paying this exorbitant fees since 2011, it won't kill us to pay for another year. But it would be injustice to slash school fees of the states institutions (taking effect from 2014/2015) when every other institutions are in 2014/2015 session except OOU which are just starting their 2013/2014 session.... U are telling us to wait for another year before benefiting from the largesse....

* And, we strongly believe the Governor lack integrity, nothing would stop him from increasing the fees again after the 2015 election. He once promised and reneged on his promise (when he still av a second term to run), nothing would stop him from reneging on his promise again (especially when he has nothing to lose after winning the election in 2015).

lanrefront1: @adeoladrg,

Honestly you have no point at all.....and the poster is right, the Union championing the riot are completely bereft of common sense.

The poster have posed valid questions which you refuse to answer: Did the students or the Union fight for the reduction in the first place?

The reduction was a gift from the government.

We all know the rationale behind the reduction in fees; If you feel the motive behind the reduction is evil or the timing is suspect, why not reject the gift all together? But instead you are saying the gift is not enough.

This really is the most senseless riot ever.

SLIDEwaxie: lol like I was a graduate of MAPOLY!!!

That's wot I said abt u people.
Incoherent conclusion!
So, because I mentioned mapoly as a yardstick, as an OOU student, ur brain don miscalculate

Now listen up, av mentioned ds in another thread, 'after medicine and its relative, nad law, OOU offers nothing'!!

Be rest assured, if MAPOLY is offering those courses, they will beat u hands-down!

Most of the mapoly students who crossed over to universities are leaders. Ask anybody in OOU or other universities. I am a witness of that in UI.

Mapoly still offers the best course in masscomm, fst, slt, architecture, building tech, their account students na die because before u even finish ND, u cld av started ur ICAN! Go ask others.

Did u even knw they now offer pharmacy and micro biology?

That ur yeye school na school?

See, I maintained this: after medicine with it's relative courses and law, nuttin dey OOU! Nothing to envy!

In UI, an average students wished for a laptop, not to watch movies and pose or do yahoo like you do in OOU, butt for research! An average student has a printer of his own.

No be police dey pursue student with laptop for OOU? U cant deny that because I dey see things. Av been arrested twice on a bike and they search my laptop and wen I showed them my ID card say I no be student na den dem mellow!

I repeat, OOU no be school.

The only change is this new VC who is already changing things and such change don dey vex most of u. People don dey complain say saburi too hard jst because he's trying to do it right!

Bro, go siddon jare.

SLIDEwaxie: the reason why ur types are joining this protest is to have excess cash for beers, phones and other vanities!
Most OOU students have nothing upstairs!!

Check out most of ur spellings. Shey na university u sef dey?

SLIDEwaxie: It is good to be properly informed.

This is the plain truth,
I was in ago iwoye to check on a few things (I aint a student thou). It was around 4pm wen the socialist called one of the excos to inform him abt the meeting with amosun. They said the meeting didn't start until 8pm on friday!

Amosun actually begged them to understand the situation, but they threatened cause trouble and havoc. Right in their presence, he called the school authority to close the school even before they got to ago iwoye so as to prevent commotion!

That's a fact!!

All the lies abt mobile police are pure lies! I am still enjoying myself here! I was even as MAP (a popular parlour) this evening and no police harassed anyone!

SLIDEwaxie: bros, clean mouth and stop lying. I get business for OOU..

On the average, the school fees is 105,000.
CESAP pays less than 50k.
SMS is 132k.

medicine and its relatives pays around 250k and the govr had accepted a reduction that the least will pay 26k..wetin u want again?

We all knw ur being motivated by other political parties.

I have a biz at mini campus, and anybody there knw that before this protest, policemen resume there every 4pm and leaves by 8am for student's security and yet, some mumu started lies that police are there beating students to coma. It was all over BBM..

If 9 other schools agreed, what's your own problem?

And the funniest part was many of you are planning nuttin but parties and phones if the money was reduced this year.

OOU students have nuttin upstairs!

Except law, medicine and its relatives...

I haven't seen any OOU masscomm student break the scenes in journalism...

They can't even construct a simple englishh sentence correctly! After party, yahoo yahoo, phones, prostitution, nuttin else!!!

MAPOLY better pass u no be 100%

Sirniyeh: .
I dont need to exchange words with you because I'm more of a father to you in age.
.
But the point I may not have known before is, were you the one who fought the Gov to reduce the fee in the first place? Lets call a spade a spade..
.
Note, I'm not a politician but a concerned father. Your action is affecting other students who never agreed with your protest

whatlyf: in my first comment I posited that I won't hold brief for the governor. But permit me to say that Amosun's first promise of N50,000(though still high) was nothing but a political statement and it is highly condemnable. It is clear that he had no idea(as at then) and had no plan on making the 50k feasible as at 2011. It is very shameful to say the least. Howeber, as an incumbent that has been in power for over 3years he has no excuse. Please just give him that benefit of doubt(and read my first comment). Leaders say things in campaign that they had no idea of.. Like obama that said hed close guatanamo bay in his 2008 campagn but till today the Prison still operates.
As for the school closure, it may be done to forestall breakdown of law and order that may arise from protests. Remember the protest in lasu that almost cost the life of the VC. Leaders sometimes takes proactive measures for the good of the citizenry.
