scanthecar: I still remember one of the posters of the student union concerning an event to honour them that ended with "Afrika and the rest must not die in vain, their blood must water the tree of freedom". I went home on one occasion the repeated the quotation to my dad who got confused because it is the blood of "tyrants" that waters the tree of freedom and not heros - Student union and their wrong usage of english language in those days (Tony fash - "if something is not wrong with Lamikanra; Lamikanra must be wrong with something". Tony fashayo was rusticated from year 5 medical school OAU when I was in 100 level (1995) and readmitted at my convocation 6 years later. Great Ife!!!

ABUJA – THE
Presidency,Wednesday,
described the call by the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for the
removal of President Goodluck
Jonathan over the crisis rocking
the Rivers State House of
Assembly as a flawed position.
According to the Presidency,
President Jonathan was
absolutely not connected and
also not involved in the Rivers
State political quagmire, just as it
stressed that Governor Chibuike
Amaechi was too small politically
for President Jonathan to fight
with.

misterh: An EDM student told me that that long building is going to house their faculty. The present building they are using is 'borrowed' from Agric. The present Agric building is the first building in OAU and was the first Senate building.

Ola Johnson: I just got to know that most of the thoughtful and progressive contributors of this forum are either alumni or students of OAU, Ile-Ife. Indeed we've not forgoten those heated political debates we had from night till daybreak in our rooms. Also the informal debate that a mere write up could evoke in either the entrance or notice board of Awo Hall.
An average Ife student can stand any student in political debate from any part of the world.

misterh: That building is going to house the Faculty of EDM. I learnt when completed, it'll be the longest building in W/Africa.

Ola Johnson: I learnt the incident of that day led to Tony Fash being expelled. It was said that he mounted the podium during the convocation and said by the power conferred on him as the President of the Student Union (we don't call ours SUG because it is not a government but a union) he declared the ceremony closed. When the Ogiyan of Ejigbo tried to intervene, Tony Fash took his crown off his. The king then cursed him. He remained rusticated for about five years till Obasanjo intervened and he was reinstated. But he resited part 4 four times. He finally graduated in 2010 after about 22 years.

bishopjoe02: definitely it should be Basic. do u want the guy to starve

ayyoshert: who on the thread could recall or heard of a certain convocation that was disorganised by Tony Fash and his boys, should be for 1995 or 1996 Graduands. It was said that important dignitaries, traditional rulers, proud parents and the brilliantly dressed VC and other Professors all seated in Amphi Theatre upon sighting the Warlike Tony Fash and his boys scampered out of the Hall in various exits. Some parents lost shoes, money and other valuables in a bid to escape, i even heard some parents with tears in their eyes were casting spells and raining curses on him for spoiling their day. OAU with radicalism, so proud i was a product.
