500 Level Rusticated Student Of UI Speak Out '' I Didn't Do Anything Criminal ''

Here is Tunji Epketi Micheal, a 500L student of the department of Petroleum Engineering, Faculty of Technology and a resident of Independence Hall, who was recently rusticated from University of Ibadan.

UCJ: Can you tell us what really transpired and why a disciplinary action was taken against you?

MOTE: Basically, it boiled down to the protest over light and water that occurred on the 18th of November last year, that is, 2015. For a truth, the protest was peaceful in every way; there was no vandalisation of any property in the school, harassment of anybody. So what it boiled down to for them then at the committee. They (the SDC people) asked why I joined the protest since I didn’t have a room legally in Independence Hall. But Independence hall shows on my ID card, it’s the hall I was from 100 Level. Just that in 400 Level I didn’t have a room. So they asked why exactly I joined the protest over light and water. Then I now made it clear to them that it wasn’t that I set out to join because I was even on my I.T in Port Harcourt, then I just got back for some particular reasons. So it wasn’t like I set out to do it. The day the protest thing happened, I was on my way to my hall and all. I saw them and I got down knowing fully well that I knew these people so I joined. So that was the reason.

UCJ: Okay. You have clarified that you were a part of the protest.

MOTE: Yes

UCJ: So was it true that you led the protest. That you were the ringleader, the master minder?

MOTE: No, that was not true.

UCJ: You said you came to school for a particular reason(s) because you were in Port Harcourt on your I.T. so, what really brought you to school that day?

MOTE: Okay, the most pressing any way .., because there were different sets of reasons. But the most pressing was the scholarship I got; P.T.D.F; Petroleum Development Trust Fund. And the scholarship comes with some amount of money and a laptop back in October. My I.T started in September. In October I was around to pick the laptop. We were notified that the laptop had got to the department that was in October. Then in November, the time I came back and the protest thing happened, we were sent emails to bring our school receipts so they (PTDF) could process our payments. I didn’t have my receipt with me in Port Harcourt and we were sent the mails like two weeks earlier prior to the time I came back and there was a deadline. So that was like the most pressing. Although, I purposely tried to delay it so that when I will be back to get the receipt and submit it to the department it will coincide with the time we were having our hall week. Because back then, I had the intention of running for the post of the Administrator General in Indy hall and I did not want to miss the hall week. And you know how it is doing I.T you don’t have a lot of free days. I knew I had a week so I wanted to just use the week wisely. I had spoken to my supervisor at work to give me a week that would fall into the hall week so I would get the receipts and take part in the hall week.

UCJ: It is a belief among many students on campus that this disciplinary action was a sort of political victimization. Can you clarify that in relation to the fact that you had the mind to contest for the position of the Administrator General of your hall?

MOTE: Well, I don’t know. You know the way it is in politics, a whole lot is said in the heat of the moment and a whole lot is unsubstantiated. But, well……at that time a whole lot of stuffs was flying everywhere that the school has an interest in the elections. We even heard our hall warden saying that this guy will never be the AG in this hall. A lot of people heard him when he said it, a good number of times. So, that made people looks inwardly. It was obvious that there was a lot of interest in this particular election. I can’t substantiate a lot. But all I can substantiate was a particular petition written against me by one of my opponents to the Dean of Students. That’s like the only physical proof. The bad blood got to that point that a student was petitioning another student. Knowing fully well that even at that point I had a case already, because a query had already been sent to my department.


UCJ: You said that there was a lot of interest in the elections. But why do you think the school authorities will be so interested in the electioneering process?

MOTE: Well…..everyone knows that when it comes to student activism and the University of Ibadan, two male halls come to mind; Zik Hall and Independence Hall. And like it was said, after that protest, it was said that Independence Hall alone in that particular year, had like four protests. Nobody is a mad person. So, they made it seem as if there was an allowable limit and we had exceeded that. Activism was at its peak in the hall and all its common knowledge that the school management is not one that will totally encourage student activism. I guess……. To be honest, immediately I was sent a query, I just knew within me that I wasn’t going to contest anymore. There were a lot of people in the protest, at least over two hundred, but why me in particular. So, it was obvious that the school was trying to be proactive in a sense.

UCJ: During the protest, there might have been a lot of people there; not only you but a lot of popular people.

MOTE: Yea a lot

UCJ: So do you think that a set of persons within the school authorities is against you as a person? Or have you had any issues with them, perhaps something has transpired between you and them to warrant your being singled out?

MOTE: None whatsoever, in fact the truth is, I remember the day after the protest to tell you how funny the whole thing was to me; a group of Kantangites went to see our hall warden over electoral issues. Because then the electoral committees was set up and a lot of thing were not right as regards the modality of the election and infrastructure; getting ballot boxes and all that and sorting out who the electoral chairman would be. So I went with a group of Katangites, myself, I remember Koran, that’s the former General Secretary, Toheeb, the NANS chairman and two other guys. We went to his office the day after the protest. They were speaking to him about the whole electoral committee issues we were having in Independence Hall and then he veered off at some point and started talking about the protest. He said “and about the protest that happened yesterday, those involved, don’t worry we will soon know who is right and who is wrong and then…. that Mote”. I was there, I was seated there, he said “that Mote, I saw him on the protest ground and I told him that Katangites should return and he was insisting that until when we have proved that things are sorted, we are not going back to the hall… all this…this.. this…he just kept on insisting and insisting. So that Mote, don’t worry we will soon know who is right in a little while”. And I was there. It was very funny because the other guys in his office just looked at me and they told me not to say anything. So I just kept quiet and I was looking at him. It was obvious (from what he said that) there was no point in time whereby myself and the Hall Warden personally had any rapport. In fact I wasn’t the mouth piece; I wasn’t the person that spoke to the members of the school management when they came to the protest ground. So, immediately we left his office, under the advice of the other guys that we went to his office together, they said I should return and tell him that I am Mote. So I returned to his office and told him “sir, I am the Mote you were talking about. You and I have never seen each other face to face like this. Yesterday, we did not have any interaction at any time so I’m surprised” and he didn’t say anything. It was all so funny to me really.

UCJ: We heard that your scholarship(s) has been affected by the SDC decision. How true is that?

MOTE: No, none of my scholarships were affected. Actually, none that I know of.

UCJ: Do you feel it’s an act of injustice that you were singled out and a case was raised against you? Or you think that the school authorities were trying to make a scape-goat out of you to surpress further protest activities in the future? Or stifle the voices of active students on campus?

MOTE: Either way. Either, the first one, the former or the latter, I feel I don’t deserve the jugdement I was given. Because for one, I think it’s unprecedented in the university community. Because I took the liberty of getting certain SDC resolutions; previous ones and I have never seen at any time where an issue over a protest; peaceful one where anybody; even SU protests that shut down the school, I have never heard. I took my time to go over at least three or four past SDC resolutions. For all I know from the time I joined that protest till we got back to the hall, nothing in terms of vandalization or harassment of any individual took place. In that sense, I feel bad because this is my final year and giving me a semester extra has some implications obviously. But what has been consoling me, what I have been telling myself is…. What has happened, I can beat my chest anywhere and say the school did what they did but I didn’t steal anything; I didn’t do anything criminal, I am very sure of that. All that has happened, I want to thank God that it is not a case of theft, squatting or a case of malpractice or whatever corrupt practice. I know it is an undeserving judgement.

UCJ: What are your next steps? What actions are you taking? Are you appealing against the decision or keeping quiet with your heads raised high and walk around UI and do your thing?

MOTE: Well for me, in fact, for now I just want to leave this school. I am telling you. I have seen the really ugly side of this school that there is no justice. The way the SDC is set up, you have how many school representatives there and you have just two representatives from the student body. It’s intimidating. And in the real sense, what they are supposed to do as students, you can’t blame them when they are not efficient in defending the rights of the students. Because you have like sixty people or there about versus two people. So In that sense, you can’t blame them if they can’t do much. I can bear the cross of this because I have done a lot of soul searching to ask myself if anything was particularly wrong that I did and don’t know…..I don’t know. I guess a lot of student groups are not really very happy with this and I stop to think what perspectives they could be seeing this from. They see this as the school trying to make precedence for future occurrences. So I guess if they are fighting, that is what they are fighting for. Me, I am fine. I will just make sure, of course that what is paramount is my studies. I’ll make sure that when I’m back in second semesters, because I don’t know…. I have not received the letter officially but the verdict was pronounced. Most of the things said, as they were saying them is that it is this academic semester it will take effect from; so I’m not going to have an academic record for this semester, I’ll have my second semester and then come back next session to round off. For me, I am good.

UCJ: It is a general notice that the Katangites held a protest against the judgement of the SDC. Did that protest avail much? Did it change anything?

MOTE: I really don’t know. To be honest I distanced myself from all that. I really don’t know much about it. Kantangites are pained, the few ones I spoke to. Their pain was that there were a lot of Katangites on that panel – SDC list- and a lot of the cases they see as feeble. Things that would have been sorted out in the Hall. Some of the cases, from what I was told, had to do with people not clearing from the hall on time, people not paying on time but eventually paying. Things like that, but I am not so sure. The numbers that turned out, from what I heard about the protest, was up to four hundred. And I feel when such numbers turn out, it means it is a general dissatisfaction.

UCJ: Do you think that the ‘disunity’ is the cause why the Katangites wash their dirty linen in public instead of sorting it out as a family? Do you think it is as a result of disunity or there is a bad blood in the Hall or something?

MOTE: I don’t know. I feel to some people it was easy to blame the hall warden; I don’t have anything personally against him, because he is an elderly person in the university community and I respect him. For some people, It was very easy to blame the hall executive members but some people are quick to forget that we didn’t particularly have a very good relationship towards the tail end of the last administration. There were a lot of things that put Independence Hall in a bad light of course him in a bad light. Administrative lapses. In the last administration, Katangites were complaining even up to Student Affairs about the handling of their affairs by the executives then. I heard, about twenty something or there about petitions were written by students of the hall to the Student Affairs about the activities of the last administration. We all know how hierarchy works; they will definitely get across to him from there and definitely they won’t be satisfied with what is going on in the hall. It was easy to blame the warden but it all boils down to what happened in the administration last session. The lesson from all that has happened to Independence Hall is that the relationship between the students and the management is not a cohesive one that it should be.

UCJ: Any final words?

MOTE: My final word is to just thank the UCJ. It shows you people are responsive, responsible and very sensitive to all that goes on in the University community. My mum is a journalist by the way; she retired in tribune. Journalism boils down to the sensitivity of prevalent issues. So I want to say thank you.

UCJ: Thanks for coming, for honouring our invitation

MOTE: You are welcome. It’s my pleasure.

WHAT ARE FIBROIDS?

Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus (womb). Another medical term for fibroids is "leiomyoma" (leye-oh-meye-OH-muh) or just "myoma". Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Fibroids can grow as a single tumor, or there can be many of them in the uterus. They can be as small as an apple seed or as big as a grapefruit. In unusual cases they can become very large.



WHY SHOULD WOMEN KNOW ABOUT FIBROIDS?

About 20 percent to 80 percent of women develop fibroids by the time they reach age 50. Fibroids are most common in women in their 40s and early 50s. Not all women with fibroids have symptoms. Women who do have symptoms often find fibroids hard to live with. Some have pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Fibroids also can put pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urination, or the rectum, causing rectal pressure. Should the fibroids get very large, they can cause the abdomen (stomach area) to enlarge, making a woman look pregnant.


WHO GETS FIBROIDS?

There are factors that can increase a woman's risk of developing fibroids.

AGE- Fibroids become more common as women age, especially during the 30s and 40s through menopause. After menopause, fibroids usually shrink.

FAMILY HISTORY - Having a family member with fibroids increases your risk. If a woman's mother had fibroids, her risk of having them is about three times higher than average.

ETHNIC ORIGIN - African-American women are more likely to develop fibroids than white women.

OBESITY - Women who are overweight are at higher risk for fibroids. For very heavy women, the risk is two to three times greater than average.

EATING HABITS - Eating a lot of red meat (e.g., beef) and ham is linked with a higher risk of fibroids. Eating plenty of green vegetables seems to protect women from developing fibroids.


WHERE CAN FIBROIDS GROW?

Most fibroids grow in the wall of the uterus. Doctors put them into three groups based on where they grow:

Submucosal (sub-myoo-KOH-zuhl) fibroids grow into the uterine cavity.

Intramural (ihn-truh-MYOOR-uhl) fibroids grow within the wall of the uterus.

Subserosal (sub-suh-ROH-zuhl) fibroids grow on the outside of the uterus.

Some fibroids grow on stalks that grow out from the surface of the uterus or into the cavity of the uterus. They might look like mushrooms. These are called pedunculated (pih-DUHN-kyoo-lay-ted) fibroids.


WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF FIBROIDS?

Most fibroids do not cause any symptoms, but some women with fibroids can have :

*Heavy bleeding (which can be heavy enough to cause anemia) or painful periods

*Feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower stomach area)

*Enlargement of the lower abdomen

*Frequent urination

*Pain during sex

*Lower back pain

*Complications during pregnancy and labor, including a six-time greater risk of cesarean section

*Reproductive problems, such as infertility, which is very rare.



WHAT CAUSES FIBROIDS?

No one knows for sure what causes fibroids. Researchers think that more than one factor could play a role. These factors could be:

*Hormonal (affected by estrogen and progesterone levels)

*Genetic (runs in families)
Because no one knows for sure what causes fibroids, we also don't know what causes them to grow or shrink. We do know that they are under hormonal control — both estrogen and progesterone. They grow rapidly during pregnancy, when hormone levels are high. They shrink when anti-hormone medication is used. They also stop growing or shrink once a woman reaches menopause.



CAN FIBROIDS TURN TO CANCER?

Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Rarely (less than one in 1,000) a cancerous fibroid will occur. This is called leiomyosarcoma (leye-oh-meye-oh-sar-KOH-muh). Doctors think that these cancers do not arise from an already-existing fibroid. Having fibroids does not increase the risk of developing a cancerous fibroid. Having fibroids also does not increase a woman's chances of getting other forms of cancer in the uterus.


WHAT IF I BECOME PREGNANT AND HAVE FIBROIDS?

Women who have fibroids are more likely to have problems during pregnancy and delivery. This doesn't mean there will be problems. Most women with fibroids have normal pregnancies. The most common problems seen in women with fibroids are:

*Cesarean section. The risk of needing a c-section is six times greater for women with fibroids.

*Baby is breech. The baby is not positioned well for vaginal delivery. Meaning that the head of the baby is pointing towards your chest and not the birth canal.

*Labor fails to progress.

*Placental abruption. The placenta breaks away from the wall of the uterus before delivery. When this happens, the fetus does not get enough oxygen and may die if no medical intervention is made.

*Preterm delivery.

Talk to your obstetrician if you have fibroids and become pregnant. All obstetricians have experience dealing with fibroids and pregnancy. Most women who have fibroids and become pregnant do not need to see an OB who deals with high-risk pregnancies.


HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I HAVE FIBROIDS?

Your doctor may find that you have fibroids when you see her or him for a regular pelvic exam to check your uterus, ovaries, and vagina. The doctor can feel the fibroid with her or his fingers during an ordinary pelvic exam, as a (usually painless) lump or mass on the uterus. Often, a doctor will describe how small or how large the fibroids are by comparing their size to the size your uterus would be if you were pregnant. For example, you may be told that your fibroids have made your uterus the size it would be if you were 16 weeks pregnant. Or the fibroid might be compared to fruits, nuts, or a ball, such as a grape or an orange, an acorn or a walnut, or a golf ball or a volleyball.

Your doctor can do imaging tests to confirm that you have fibroids. These are tests that create a "picture" of the inside of your body without surgery. These tests might include:

*Ultrasound – Uses sound waves to produce the picture. The ultrasound probe can be placed on the abdomen or it can be placed inside the vagina to make the picture.

*Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – Uses magnets and radio waves to produce the picture.

*X-rays – Uses a form of radiation to see into the body and produce the picture.

*Computerized Tomography scan (CT scan) – Takes many X-ray pictures of the body from different angles for a more complete image.

*Hysterosalpingogram (hiss-tur-oh-sal-PIN-juh-gram) (HSG) or sonohysterogram (soh-noh-HISS-tur-oh-gram) – An HSG involves injecting x-ray dye into the uterus and taking x-ray pictures. A sonohysterogram involves injecting water into the uterus and making ultrasound pictures.

You might also need surgery to know for sure if you have fibroids. There are two types of surgery to do this:

*Laparoscopy (lap-ar-OSS-koh-pee) – The doctor inserts a long, thin scope into a tiny incision made in or near the navel. The scope has a bright light and a camera. This allows the doctor to view the uterus and other organs on a monitor during the procedure. Pictures also can be made.

*Hysteroscopy (hiss-tur-OSS-koh-pee) – The doctor passes a long, thin scope with a light through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. No incision is needed. The doctor can look inside the uterus for fibroids and other problems, such as polyps. A camera also can be used with the scope.



WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK MY DOCTOR IF I HAVE FIBROIDS?


How many fibroids do I have?

What size is my fibroid(s)?

Where is my fibroid(s) located (outer surface, inner surface, or in the wall of the uterus)?

Can I expect the fibroid(s) to grow larger?

How rapidly have they grown (if they were known about already)?

How will I know if the fibroid(s) is growing larger?

What problems can the fibroid(s) cause?

What tests or imaging studies are best for keeping track of the growth of my fibroids?

What are my treatment options if my fibroid(s) becomes a problem?

What are your views on treating fibroids with a hysterectomy versus other types of treatments?

A second opinion is always a good idea if your doctor has not answered your questions completely or does not seem to be meeting your needs.

FDA warning on power morcellators in treatment for uterine fibroids
If your doctor recommends a hysterectomy or myomectomy to treat your uterine fibroids, ask your doctor if a power morcellator will be used. Power morcellators break uterine fibroids into small pieces to remove them more easily. Recently, the FDA warned against the use of power morcellators for most women. This is because uterine tissue may contain undiagnosed cancer. While breaking up the uterine tissue, power morcellators can spread an undiagnosed cancer to other parts of the body without your doctor knowing it. Most uterine fibroids are not cancerous, but there is no way to know for sure until the fibroids are removed and tested.


HOW ARE FIBROIDS TREATED?

Most women with fibroids do not have any symptoms. For women who do have symptoms, there are treatments that can help.

Talk with your doctor about the best way to treat your fibroids. She or he will consider many things before helping you choose a treatment. Some of these things include:

*Whether or not you are having symptoms from the fibroids

*If you might want to become pregnant in the future

*The size of the fibroids

*The location of the fibroids

*Your age and how close to menopause you might be.
If you have fibroids but do not have any symptoms, you may not need treatment. Your doctor will check during your regular exams to see if they have grown.



MEDICATIONS

If you have fibroids and have mild symptoms, your doctor may suggest taking medication. Over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be used for mild pain. If you have heavy bleeding during your period, taking an iron supplement can keep you from getting anemia or correct it if you already are anemic.

Several drugs commonly used for birth control can be prescribed to help control symptoms of fibroids. Low-dose birth control pills do not make fibroids grow and can help control heavy bleeding. The same is true of progesterone-like injections (e.g., Depo-Provera®). An IUD (intrauterine device) called Mirena® contains a small amount of progesterone-like medication, which can be used to control heavy bleeding as well as for birth control.

Other drugs used to treat fibroids are "gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists" (GnRHa). The one most commonly used is Lupron®. These drugs, given by injection, nasal spray, or implanted, can shrink your fibroids especially when they are not so big.

Sometimes they are used before surgery to make fibroids easier to remove. Side effects of GnRHas can include hot flashes, depression, not being able to sleep, decreased sex drive, and joint pain.

Most women tolerate GnRHas quite well. Most women do not get a period when taking GnRHas. This can be a big relief to women who have heavy bleeding. It also allows women with anemia to recover to a normal blood count. GnRHas can cause bone thinning, so their use is generally limited to six months or less.

These drugs also are very expensive, and some insurance companies will cover only some or none of the cost. GnRHas offer temporary relief from the symptoms of fibroids; once you stop taking the drugs, the fibroids often grow back quickly, making Surgery the best treatment option.



SURGERY

If you have fibroids with moderate or severe symptoms, surgery may be the best way to treat them. Here are the options:

(1). Myomectomy (meye-oh-MEK-tuh-mee) – Surgery to remove fibroids without taking out the healthy tissue of the uterus. It is best for women who wish to have children after treatment for their fibroids or who wish to keep their uterus for other reasons. You can become pregnant after myomectomy. But if your fibroids were imbedded deeply in the uterus, you might need a cesarean section to deliver. Myomectomy can be performed in many ways. It can be major surgery (involving cutting into the abdomen) or performed with laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. The type of surgery that can be done depends on the type, size, and location of the fibroids. After myomectomy new fibroids can grow and cause trouble later. All of the possible risks of surgery are true for myomectomy. The risks depend on how extensive the surgery is.

(2). Hysterectomy (hiss-tur-EK-tuh-mee) – Surgery to remove the uterus. This surgery is the only sure way to cure uterine fibroids. Fibroids are the most common reason that hysterectomy is performed. This surgery is used when a woman's fibroids are large, if she has heavy bleeding, is either near or past menopause, or does not want children. If the fibroids are large, a woman may need a hysterectomy that involves cutting into the abdomen to remove the uterus. If the fibroids are smaller, the doctor may be able to reach the uterus through the vagina, instead of making a cut in the abdomen. In some cases hysterectomy can be performed through the laparoscope. Removal of the ovaries and the cervix at the time of hysterectomy is usually optional. Women whose ovaries are not removed do not go into menopause at the time of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is a major surgery. Although hysterectomy is usually quite safe, it does carry a significant risk of complications. Recovery from hysterectomy usually takes several weeks.

(3). Endometrial Ablation (en-doh-MEE-tree-uhl uh-BLAY-shuhn) – The lining of the uterus is removed or destroyed to control very heavy bleeding. This can be done with laser, wire loops, boiling water, electric current, microwaves, freezing, and other methods. This procedure usually is considered minor surgery. It can be done on an outpatient basis or even in a doctor's office. Complications can occur, but are uncommon with most of the methods. Most people recover quickly. About half of women who have this procedure have no more menstrual bleeding. About three in 10 women have much lighter bleeding. But, a woman cannot have children after this surgery.

(4). Myolysis (meye-OL-uh-siss) – A needle is inserted into the fibroids, usually guided by laparoscopy, and electric current or freezing is used to destroy the fibroids.

(5). Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), or Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) – A thin tube is thread into the blood vessels that supply blood to the fibroid. Then, tiny plastic or gel particles are injected into the blood vessels. This blocks the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink. UFE can be an outpatient or inpatient procedure. Complications, including early menopause, are uncommon but can occur. Studies suggest fibroids are not likely to grow back after UFE, but more long-term research is needed. Not all fibroids can be treated with UFE. The best candidates for UFE are women who:
Have fibroids that are causing heavy bleeding

Have fibroids that are causing pain or pressing on the bladder or rectum

Don't want to have a hysterectomy

Don't want to have children in the future.



WHAT NEW TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR UTERINE FIBROIDS?

The following methods are not yet standard treatments, so your doctor may not offer them or health insurance may not cover them.
1. Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to destroy fibroid tissue without harming surrounding normal uterine tissue. The fibroids remain inside the uterus but shrink in size. Most women go home the same day and can return to normal activities within a few days.

2. Anti-hormonal drugs may provide symptom relief without bone-thinning side effects.

Sometimes you don't have it all and favour makes up for the rest. Looking at her closely, she isn't the prettiest girl on the block. Many 'finer' babes are still would-be models and hustling but obviously her time has come. Enjoy
