Stop misinforming the public, the hostels were not last renovated in the '80s, I finished last year and I witnessed renovation during my time
What kind of renovation are you talking about? Do you understand the meaning of renovation?Please state examples, and should there be any (which I doubt) I guess it should be easy to see I said most of the structures were not renovated since the 80s, not all.

EducationOn The Comments On Fynestboi's Post On The State Of Oau's Bla Bla by elfaez(op): 3:04pm On Dec 04, 2015
I apologise for any typographical error in this post, they are due to the inescapable and irresistible aroma of this delicious meal on my table.

With respect to those who have posited that the students are to be blamed for the decrepit state of OAU's hostels and lecture theatres, I should note here that some of, or rather most of, these rotten structures were last renovated in the 80s.

I concede that students should have maintained these structures better, but there's is little saving to be done when all has been lost for so long. And in this vein, the school management has only accelerated the decay; rooms meant for two in the 1990s are now allocated to 6 and those created for 4 are now assigned for occupation by twelve. The congestion is further made dire by reason of "squatting"; so many students are left without an assigned bedspace, so they end up squeezing in with already "overcapacitated" rooms. In some dire cases, which are several, 16-20 students make a 2-occupant room their abodes.

Such is the overcrowding that loss of property is like loss of hair.

Because of the congestion and overpopulation, anything left functional is easily lost to overuse and misuse. An electric socket in a room bears the load of 20 or more phones, laptops, lamps, etc. The only remaining WC toilet on a storey house is barraged day in day out by over 100 people.

To talk of the cleanliness of the water usually supplied in most hostel would be largely unnecessary, as pictures of "Omi Omole" are everywhere on the Internet.

Most of the lecture theatres,laboratories and edifices the institution prides itself on are rotten and their once-state-of-the-art equipments dysfunctional.

I would continue talking about other sore sights, but as I'm busy devouring a long-missed dish at home, I'll just shut up here, and plead with whoever is offended by this to please forgive me. I don't want to lose anything because of a post on the Internet like so many people have.

LiteratureI Have Fears - A Poem by elfaez(op): 2:29am On Aug 18, 2015
If anyone is reading this..
I have fears that haunt my dreams
Fill my mornings with paralysing worries
Fill my noons with heavy eyed suspicions
And my nights with cold, puzzled questions
I have fears enthroned on my crest
I have doubts inscribed upon my chest
And when I seek answers in the bronze perch
Of my Bible, I find I’m too scared to search
I have fears that haunt my dreams
And I may find where peace redeems
The soul from slow, cold decay, and Greek
Then my nights may bring the rest I seek

This poem is about the internal struggles many people are caught up in. Life throws enough at us everyday to get us thinking, and fearing what may come next. I hope you liked it.

PoliticsAnyone Knows About Osun State Government Pension Scam? by elfaez(op): 1:22pm On Jul 15, 2015
Since his second year in office, the state Government under the leadership (if we may call it that) of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has introduced a pension scheme (or scam) for all workers in the state. A fraction, and a good fraction at that, of workers' salaries is removed every month and "saved" for them to be used to fund their pension upon retirement. I do not believe this practice is legal, or is it? Shouldn't pensions be funded by the government?

But that ain't the grand shit. This pension scheme, called FIDELITY PENSION I think, does nothing it is said to be doing. Each deduction is made, but clearly no storage of any sort is happening. Before the workers stopped getting paid, whenever the Fidelity pension alert was received for, say, March 2014, the alert states that the deduction for the month of February 2006 has been made. The next month may then be for December 2009. The account it is supposed to be remitted to itself is non-existent. I know about this cos I'm directly affected by it. Such ludicrous practices must not be allowed to continue. I think the workers have not been saying anything about it yet cos they're yet to receive even the leftover.
So, I hope somehow the right people get to know about this quick. This our governor is a maniac

Being of the greatest ife, I must tell you what I think of the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi library.

Second year in the great ife, and I'll tell you something I've come to learn ; if you leave a university with little more than a degree, you just went to get a piece of paper with words, and words that probably will help you little.

PoliticsRe: A Brief Assessment Of The Performance Of The Buhari Regime So Far by elfaez(op): 8:58pm On Jul 05, 2015
tundamartin:
Your assessment is premature and awful.

As a person, what have you achieved in just one month of June past?

If a thief, cat, dog and fowl shit all over your office, would you attempt to clean it up first or sit down and start as if nothing is amiss?

If you think otherwise, then you are unfit to judge anyone, let alone the prsident or the APC government.
I stated clearly in the post all that you have stated, and in the light of the claims of vindication by supporters of the PDP, an assessment may be early, but not premature. Thanks for the 'awful' though. Makes me feel satisfied, just like you seem to be about the current state of the nation.
PoliticsA Brief Assessment Of The Performance Of The Buhari Regime So Far by elfaez(op): 8:17pm On Jul 05, 2015
I'll make no tale of this. I think, from a view not advised by party propaganda or alignment, that so far the APC-Buhari administration has been unable to conjure any better than the PDP-Jonathan regime did. It must also be noted that despite the high hopes many Nigerians had of an overnight turn of fortunes, it is still early days. If the first days and weeks of a four-year rule are as disorganized, uncertain and volcanic ( if I may describe it thus). One may be worried for the rest.

But I think the uncertainty and restlessness can be attributed to two factors.
1: THE APC WHERE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING A STRONG OPPOSITION IN THEIR BID TO TOPPLE THE PDP, THAN ACTUALLY PLANNING A GOVERNMENT. They were consumed by the desire to take over power, and it appears boxers, and Chelsea, are more concerned about winning the title than what to do after it. It is indeed a scary prospect in governance. The PDP had been incumbent for the greater part of Nigeria's democratic history, and toppling them would be a serious challenge. So serious you can easily forget it is easier to win a title than to defend it. The APC and their supporters will not concur, but truth does.

2: THE PDP HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR SO LONG THEY KNOW WHERE TO HIT THEM, and having left enough mess to deal with for centuries, they have now sat back to harangue and harass the Buhari administration in their bid to turn things around in Four years.

It will not surfice to throw stones and point fingers. Nigeria has problems, and Nigerians need to put sentiments and personal interest aside and try to face the future. But this we can be sure of, the best government we can have will not be from a Mega-party.
I'll pause now, for a few months maybe.

PoliticsWhat Exactly Is Aregbesola Thinking? by elfaez(op): 7:40am On Jun 11, 2015
While osundefender.org still has the headline post "ogbeni well done : osun last in allocation but first in poverty reduction", the people of osun state are still languishing in hunger. One is left wondering who were the beneficiaries of the poverty reduction. The post mentioned above outlines how the State government has had a deficient allocation, a claim recently rebuffed by Prez Buhari.

So eight months since workers last received their pay, and eight months since the fortunes of all in the state ( except our able governor) started dwindling fast. The state workers, I mean the entire state workforce, have suspended their functions since prior to the inauguration of the new president. The most remarkable occurrence since then, to me at least, is that the government seems not to know about it. It seems the government is not aware that the entire workforce of the state have been on strike. They don't even talk about it, not to talk of talking with the workers. And even you guys, fellow Nigerians, seem unconcerned. #bringbackourgirls trended all around the world because 200 girls were kidnapped, but no one is saying anything about how the lives of thousands of people people and their families are having their lives snatched from them. The social media response to the injustice has been wonderful I say.
But then, eight months since you pay your workers and nearly a month since the strike, what is going through the mind of Aregbesola the state Governor?

LiteratureWings Of Easter - A Poem by elfaez(op): 10:41am On Apr 05, 2015
Scythes of the golden eastern Horizon
Flashing in the red of the sun
Cutting from from that end to that end
Of the celestial lawn

Wings of easter bearing tales of freedom

Dark wings, dark words on dark souls
Leaping from hade's shoulders
With a gold bow , and diamond arrows
Put down ; quietum harsh

The Lord has broken the dark fetters of sheol

Here they are now, the glad spirits
Grace on the wings
We also with thanksgiving in joined hands
Receive your blest tidings

LiteratureBirthday Morning - A Blank Verse by elfaez(op): 7:48am On Mar 31, 2015
It's my birthday morning
I woke up to chats and laughs
Akin to those of sneering hyenas
From my roommates plotting my downing
My spirit buzzed with joy
But my limbs quaked and my skin froze
With fear, fear of an hundred buckets of cold water
Belts, cassava powder, and varieties of
Grimy fluids I'd rather not think of.

I cuddled closer to my blanket like it was snowing in.
My phone buzzed to life as birthday wish
After birthday wish flew in, warming my heart.
But just then a roommate approached
With a smile none less sinister
Than Adolf Hitler smiling at a jew.
My heart lept cold.
I flew out of my room chased by my friends
Each branding a bucket
Or bowl of torture.
I escaped.

And here I am, safe,but in the open
Anticipating attack, with only my underwears on.
As my skin tingles with goosebumps
Writing this cold, frightened poem
I ask you all, what exactly is a birthday about?
