UNILORIN SCHOOL FEE HIKE.
When shall will stop extorting ourselves?
Good day all Unilorites, i am writing this piece in a state of disappointment. 29th May 2015 remains a day of history in this country of ours as a new Sheriff (as our president is called) came to town. The president brought his change agenda and coincidentally our mini government on campus (SU) adopted and modified it to Positive change. This I felt was a good initiative.
With d adoption of TSA of the federal Government, we discovered our School fees was reduced and we all were in a joyous mood chanting Praises of Buhari but surprisingly, within 48 hrs all was history. A compulsory levy of 7000 naira was added to the school fees with 5000 for school WiFi and 2000 for sweat shirt, which is to be paid to a separate bank account different from TSA.
Now I ask myself, is this the idea of Positive change? Why are the students grumbling and not bold enough to confront the people they voted in? This is an Institution that has a President with his cabinet, Senate President with other senators. Were they voted in to just appoint committees and collect salaries? Of what use is the school WiFi to students staying off campus? Students of social science faculty and Arts Faculty have no access to the WiFi and you expect them to pay for this. Majority of we students have our modems that we subscribe on at our convenience and yet you made the WiFi which it is sure will not be accessible during academic period compulsory for us. Seriously this is 1st Grade extortion. We all want the real positive change and not a positive change on social media or papers. The entire Unilorin say no to compulsory payment for WiFi, it should be a thing of interest and not mandatory. SU President and CEC members, Senate President and the council, this is where we need you people to represent us, give us the true example of the Positive change you preach. "Economic Justice can be won by free men through free enterprise". #saynotobandwithpayment.

Bros, i know you'll support him for giving out all the juicy positions to PDP. But Dogara should watch his back. HOR is more peaceful than Senate and he should not undermine that.

Let us commend Dogara. He has done well. Femi won't be Speaker any time soon. He should maintain his office as House leader or...

Dogara is a clown. He wants to empower and make PDP relevant in a run up to his 2019 political project

Gbajabiamila is a sore loser...


APC should focus on providing their promises and quit their lust for Power and 'juicy' positions

And the blame game begins. He's wrong to not have informed you before. But seeing how you're reacting, one can't help but think he did the right thing. He knew all along that you'll try to influence things in favour of your party.
And if I may ask, please, what exactly is this change mantra these people are preaching? I still have yet to see anything being done differently asides over at the NNPC. If anything, Mr president sounds like it's a GEJ regime all over again; "Nigeria is broke", "we cannot afford to pay ministers"...the repetitive song is damn irritating. And I ask, if you can't even afford to pay 36 ministers, should the youths dare harbour any thoughts of employment by this government at all?

u still lack common sense, is very simple to understand, PMB cannot waste our hard earn money for ministers,

When will u guys settle ya difference self

DONSMITH123:
The cold war and mutual suspicion between the camps of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and the House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, may soon spiral into yet another clash, this time, over the composition and appointment of chairpersons of House committees.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported the dissatisfaction among lawmakers of the ruling All Progressives Congress, who complained that the composition of the committees favoured the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
They also said the development which saw PDP members appointed to some key committees, including works, petroleum resources, aviation, army etc., could sabotage the “change mantra” of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr. Gbajabiamila accused Mr. Dogara of undermining him and other principal officers, who he said were not consulted by Mr. Dogara ahead of the appointments.
In a letter dated October 20, addressed to Mr. Dogara, Mr. Gbajabiamila cautioned the Speaker against undermining his office as well as those of any Principal Officer in constituting the committees.
In the letter, he reminded the Speaker of the several meetings they had during which the House Leader said he sought understanding of what was going on with the composition of chairmen and vice chairmen of the committees.
“I did this because of the incessant rumour that same had been composed,” he wrote. “On each occasion you assured me that nothing had been done. From all indications, however, it appears that an announcement of Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen is imminent and such may be done this week.”
He continued, “Honourable Speaker, I acknowledge your right and prerogative to determine the leadership of the House Committees and I intend to work with you after such determination has been made. I intend and have stated privately and publicly to work with you for the progress of the House.
“However, I am constrained at this point to ask that due consideration is given to the provision of our House Rules, Order 7 Rule 10 paragraph (a) which states that the Speaker shall in consultation with principal officers, appoint chairmen and deputy chairmen from among the members of the committees.
“On the role of the Majority/House Leader: Order 7 Rule 27 (2) c says that the Leader of the House shall ‘liaise with committee chairmen and other functionaries of the House’.”
By the foregoing, Mr. Gbajabiamila told Mr. Dogara that undermining the office of any principal officer would not strengthen Nigerian democracy and legislature.
He said he had taken liberty to write the letter, hoping that Mr. Dogara would comply with relevant House Rules before announcement of the composition of the committees.
Three days after the letter was forwarded, October 23, Mr. Dogara unveiled the headships of 96 special and standing committees, apparently confirming Mr. Gbajabiamila’s concerns.
A lawmaker, Babban kaita (APC-katsina State) and an aide to the House Leader, told PREMIUM TIMES that the composition was made without consultation with the principal officers.
Mr. Kaita said the aggrieved APC members could have taken action to stall announcement.
But they acted otherwise in consideration of members of the public who had complained the legislative had spent much time fighting before, he said.
Another member, Sunday Adepoju (APC-Oyo State), who resigned last week as the Deputy Chairman of House Committee on Special Duties, said he took the step to protest “the strengthening of PDP at the expense of my party, APC.”
Mr. Dogara’s spokesperson, Turaki Hassan, said the principal officers were duly consulted, and accused Mr. Gbajabiamila of lying.

Like Gbaja said 'they principal officers should be consulted' but it is the prerogative of the speaker to appoint who ever he deems fit to be the chairman and vice chairman of any committee. Gbaja should not try to usurp the power of the Speaker.

What monster Nigerians feared the most and thought scattered is gradually regrouping.. But they shall fail in the name of the Lord

Saraki and Dogara are far more relevent than Tinubu in the APC!!! Tinubu is just a local champion.

We should learn to appeal to logic and do away with bias. What Dogara did was wrong. He should have consulted the principal officers as clearly stated in the House Rules.

Dogara house of commotion part 2

Gbaja no go let us hear word....

What the heck is change mantra for pet sake? They want to divert funds. We know how they do it.

This man shut up jare

Haaaah Dogara trailing saraki's pathway, hmmmm if only he knows what these APCHIT guys can do, he wont dare them. Saraki should have advise him on this or does it mean he is blind and deaf? Pdpits cant save you from there claw, ask saraki ooooo

I think Gbaja is right, Dogara should watch. These didnt happen during pdp regime, where opposition had almost the same percentage in committee Chairmen. House rules should also be followed. Honestly, to me, Dogara is still representing pdp's interest.
