Pacesetter123:

But one person up there is trying to convince everybody that students didn't always protest during military rule.
That if they do,they will be in prison or got k...I..lll all.That it's only in this democracy that students can protest.
Nawa..oo!

There was protest in 1994 that led to academic Strike which lasted 8 months. Men were arrested

Moferere:


If dss pick you up now people go start to dey protest

Why should they pick him up for merely airing out his opinion!

Pacesetter123:

That means you don't know the role of students unionism in shaping the governance of a country.
Don't you know student union is a pressure group?
Do you know the role of pressure group in larger political settings?

Meanwhile,who told you the lecture didn't concern the students?
Was the lecture meant for the management alone or for the university community?
In fact, looking at the lecture topic very critically,one will notice that it was even meant for the students more than the management.
It talks about future leadership.
Go back and read the topic again.

I get your point but anything that concerns University management politics as a student union its better to tread wisely and choose your battles wisely.i am not saying whoever they chose to invite was the right person but you don't fight battles you that you have potentials to loose and you choose who you fight with.is it the University management that MIGHT have collected fat brown envelopes for them to see the need to honour wike you wan go fight.? You sef look beyond your nose na.who do you think the University will ? Of course the person that MIGHT have allegedly greased their palms.

Yes nothing is wrong with student unionism but you choose your battles wisely by applying diplomacy.no be every matter them dey turn to vayolenze

OneCandleAway:


Activism is built around that age and that school is noted to fight injustice. So leave them to protest while you hide behind your phone screen.

activism without applying wisdom and common sense = 0

Emeskhalifa:


Na statement like this your own make Nigerians dey put up and keep swallowing whatever these politicians throw at us
.
I don't know if this is an act cowardice or if it is poor mentality, the lack of ability to know that we deserve More than the crumbs they throw at us

I am not saying activism is not good but no be every battle them dey fight .yoruba go talk say moja mosa lafin mo akikanju okunrin knowing when to fight and when to ignore doesn't make you s+up1d.it just shows you have tact

It was a non violent protest.

Greatest Awo students

AguluLiar:
OAU students didn't protest against Wike. Only two disgruntled elements did and they have been taught a lesson.

Wike policy is anti-people and elitist

His lecture on national dev must be stopped

englishmart:
Pick him up for what? You people are the enablers of their recklessness and high-handedness

For freedom of speech?

datola:
During our own time at Ife, no law enforcement agent be it DSS, soldier or police dare enter OAU campus to arrest student for protesting. In fact they would not enter for any purpose except cleared by the SUG.

Even the then powerful OBJ as sitting president, saw pepper in the hands of students as he was prevented from entering. It was the then SUG president, Victor Akinladejo aka VAKAMA that pleaded on his behalf. VAKAMA was later appointed assistant by Obasanjo and he has been House of Rep member for so many years.

Seun can testify to these facts.

you wan compare those days students with the teenagers and gen zs dey pack full universities. Shey na all these little teenagers still collecting pocket money from daddy and mummy or always complaining of being traumatised or depressed wey wan fight this psychopathic politicians? Lol them go just waste all of them like flies.do you even see how fragile and little they look?

How you wan compare children wey them dey it into the university at 14 ,15,16 to those times when 18-21 years was when you could enter university. That's even after doing jamb like 3 or 4 times so people were basically itted at 25 and were matured,sensible and had emotional stamina. No be the ones wey dey commit suicide because of carry Iver or poor grades .these ones get that kain chest to face the government? Lol shey na one 17 year old boy or a crowd of genzs of this generation wan stop wike? Lol

The other regimes are not as brutal as this one, you guys don't know whom you are dealing with

Wike the tyranic Wike bribe-peddling political hoodlum was not the best person to invite for that symposium titled 'Nigeria of our dream'

OAU lost its respect inviting an unethical and garrulous loafer like Wike who is very profuse at bribing judges and intimidating people that he is supposed to lead, he does this intimidation with an Iron-fist.

Wike is a Hitler and should have ended up in jail after his tenure as Governor where he was buying political favours with Rivers people's money.

Forget the huffing and puffing. Anyday there is a change in government unfavourable to the status quo, Wike the coward will run away from this country with his tails between his leg.

What is wrong with the military taking over from a tyrannic government that with the likes of Wike running it's affairs and refusing to obey to court orders, because they can easily bribe judges with houses and cars?

lebienconnu:
Good one. They must have learnt one or two lessons

The only lesson learnt is they can stand against Wicked tyrants like Wike and still prevail.

Lo ku danu danu.
