I don't have much to say, but believe me, atimes you just have to pass through the school and not allow it pass through you......Oau is far better than the school I graduated from, where they teach you how to be wicked to your fellow being.....A school where ordinary secretary will tell you to come back because she is watching african magic.....I am talking about University of Ado Ekiti, now Ekiti state University

prophetfire:
my dear, there is a lot of spelling errors and wrong use of tenses in this your write-up. I am in a hurry,if not I would have pointed them out to you but please show this to your english teacher if you have a good one. I am concerned because its coming from an undergraduate.

I'm really sorry for Nigeria, if a student could come up with this. I am a graduate of the University of Ibadan, who has visited OAU twice to know that even as bad as things are in U.I, students live like kings, compared to the slum-like hostels OAU students stay in. Instead of staying on point, you went on to attack the SUG of your University like they were responsible for the state of things in the school. You must be really naïve to think that patronising the school management on social media will set you out as a critical thinker. Rather the opposite is the case. You come off to me as a potential victim of the Stockholm's syndrome. This is not about the S.U or about your pastors and imams (how ridiculous). This is about the right of students to demand better living conditions and accountability from administrators in the academic sphere. Most irritating of this piece, was the hint of admiration at the way the VC handled the matter. Fifth columnists like you are the reason I'm scared for the future of this country. While some are putting their academic pursuits on the line to protest unfair treatment by the bourgeoisie, the proletariat is being infiltrated by collaborators.

dustydee:
what is SU? you did not define it in your essay, except if it is directed at OAU students only.

emmygzy:
oau dey sweet u abi. You are happy they proscribed the union. I'm sorry for u. Though the union is no more vibrant like it was during our time, when VC faborode is afraid of Akinola saburi.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

I have placed this two quotes side by side to emphasize a point. The fact that one shouldn't give up on something after it fails the first time doesn't mean that the approach towards achieving that thing shouldn't be altogether changed the second time. If anything, trying again and again should be an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and avoid them the next time. Thomas Edison knew this. That's why he went on to invent the Electric Light Bulb.

To my point, how many times are we going to use aluta before we understand that the days when aluta held any sort of potency are long gone? Nigeria is a rapidly changing country and the change, unfortunately, has been a negative one. This is seen when one analyses events from our Independence till date. The kind of power students held, the kind of respect students had; all those are echoes of the past.

I am sure a lot of SUGs have observed this but the majority of them would rather embrace the cheap sense of heroism and popularity showered on them by sycophants so they go on screaming, kicking, and throwing tantrums even when they understand that the school management usually ends up doing what it wants.

I take it that you're a member of the SUG so I look forward to your reply because I have a suggestion.

Microflux:
Student's Union. sorry sir.

horpilow:
SU means Student's Union

darmhey:
I'm only a member of the SU, I don't hold any post. I'll highlight a few points; 1. Everywhere in the world people still protest, even in advanced countries, watch Tv. It is a very good way to show you're not happy, especially when the situation is already life threatening. 2. The SU try several ways, they write the management, they invite them for talks, know for a fact that they ignore them alot, get closer to them and know how easy it is for them to get the management's attention. 3. In OAU, the student union leaders don't have 100% say on when to stage a protest, if the students want it, they make happen. 4. We're going through all this because we have wicked leaders, we shouldn't have to stage a protest before we have good water to drink in the first place.
