It was February when everything started, we all thought, like usual, we would resume the day after perhaps a week. However, what was unknown to us was that the unknown journey that will last 8 months and some days had just begun.

While it can be argued that this break has been an eye-opener for some students and a point of justification for the famous quote “ school nha scam” it must also be emphasized that this same break has done more harm than good in a real sense.

At some point, everyone claimed to have moved on, but what purpose is to move on when you know an important part of your life is on hold, static and unmoved, then, to move on remains only a word of the mouth, a toothless dog and “Esin inu Iwe” as Yoruba proverb says.


The good...

During the strike, a lot of students got themselves engaged in productive exercise, while some learnt a craft, others develop a creative mindset, these set of students can be the real "move on experts". These set of students make the best use of the break, and passed a certain message to others, in a situation where a complaint can not be a solution, we must learn to make use of what we have and add value to ourselves.

The bad...........
