It was a tragic experience on that unforgettable terrific midnight. Everyone stood the chance of being killed. I jumped out of my room ONNLY with nika in my body as gun shots were being heard from here and there and we were running hecter sceta, some ran to straight bullets and we're hit. That was my most terrifying moment in life, never wish to remember it again! 4 Likes |

Adeoba10: That place where they came out the following morning caught my attention too, I don't think we have any SUG leaders in this country that can try that again. Meanwhile, Deviano set in 2009 displayed similar act (with John Pillar and co) when we heard that those guys had invaded the school during the 10 years remembrance. #AFRICALIVESON. 1 Like |

hallelluyah: I can relate with your story sir! I was in Jss that time but my cousins in OAU then gave more terrifying details of the whole thing. Similar thing happened a day to the 10 years remembrance in 2009 but ended up being a false alarm. Some of my friends got injured in the process |

thanks mod for always remembering this day. We enjoyed the peace in OAUIfe. It's only in OAU campus you will see female students walking freely 2am without any fear of being attacked. I stand to be corrected. #AfrikaLivesOn #OAU5RIP 4 Likes |

Hmm July 10 1999.My own story goes thus. I was supposed to have a mgt info systems test on the sat morning and I read well into the night. However I couldnt sleep soundly because of the kegite gyration going on. At about 3 in the morning (not sure of the time again) there were sounds of gun shot and my reaction was "how dare these kegites dem no know where dem dey".Awo hall of all places.By the way I occupied a room in blk 7 first floor.The next I heard was go into the rooms, go into the rooms,gun them down. I got up from the bed by now everybody in the room was fully awake and panic set in. I got into my moccasin shoes ready to bolt when the need arose.We all shepherded ourselves to the balcony.When I noticed the bastards were on my block I had to act. I told my roomies we should jump down but they refused. They tried to hold me back but I pulled away and jumped landing awkwardly. I got up and after my first step I was pulled down by the clothing lines at the back of my block 7 I got and took flight again but was pulled down yet again by the clothing lines in front of block 6 I summoned courage and ran further to the fence at the back of block 6.By this time I was fagged out and after a third attempt to jump the fence, someone thankfully ran into me and pushed me over the fence. At the other side we were about 5 in number .I was so breathless that the sound of my breath could wake up a drunk. After 20 or 30 mins in the bush we came out to behold an atmosphere of grief, fear and sadness. Meanwhile after the attack my friends had gonee to my room to look for me and were told my whereabout was unknown.I met them crying like babies.The immediate aftermath of the attack was not very pleasant as we lived in perpetual fear of further reprisals. The Lanre legacy led SUG really tried in apprehending Efosa and Co. But OAU wahala too much heard they are on strike again. Sighs heavily. 14 Likes |

oliidell:The article is based on too many third parties. Iwilade George was not only a thorn in the flesh of cultists but also on the management. His cause was just but it was a thorn to the two aforementioned. The then Omole is not clean, even till date. As a matter of fact, some of the cultists 'disappeared' without a trace, even after being sentenced. I used to have the video of the apprehended cultists, their 'tools' and how they mentioned and implicated Omole. Afrika is the reason cultism died in OAU. RIP to his soul and that of other comrades who fell in the struggle. 7 Likes 1 Share |

My account of events before and after the sad day is on many threads. To sum it up in the shortest summary possible, July 10, 1999 was about 'Freedom'. The people that invaded Ife and their cohorts wanted their own warped idea of 'Freedom'. Although they won the battle (because they silenced the voice of Afrika), they however lost the war. From that day on, Ife became totally Free from all semblances of cultism. The invaders and their allies underestimated the collective will of Great Ife students. Let it be told, every time, that IFE remains the only Tertiary University in Nigeris where students collectively conquered cultism. 4 Likes |

gbemmy2k10:Unfortunately, it's not the same again, even if I'm not in the system anymore. Shortly before I left, there were several reports of rape cases, particularly around Ajose and that bush path leading to maintenance, that is, the one at the left hand side just after road one. It was so bad that they had to close the road back then. Don't know about now. This was years back. |
