I believe the root of all evil is abuse of power.
Patricia Cornwell
Your excellency, Prof. Abel Olayinka, I'm a concerned Uite, using this medium to beg you, to appeal to you, to apologize to you, about the behaviors of the students of the Great University of Ibadan. I'm imploring that you shouldn't be annoyed that we are not mentally subdued, intellectually retarded and emotionally bankrupt. Please Your excellency Sir, forgive the fact that we are outspoken, psychological vibrant, United in criticism of unaccountability, unselfish in our stance against tyranny and most importantly, forgive the fact that some of us do not have beards (since it has become quite priceless in your administration).
There are some of us students that do not support the majority, some of us don’t see any sense in protesting for our ID cards since it doesn’t really affect us. Some of us don’t need it for banks and scholarship applications. It’s not really important. In fact, some of us think that your accountability is not our business, we believe that the funds we paid for two sessions, amounting to millions do not need to be accounted for. These other students are radical, we distance ourselves from them. We do not even need to identify as current students of the university of Ibadan. I’m in 400 level and I can always show people my 200 Level ID card with a picture that dates back two years. It’s normal and befitting for “the first and the best”.
Some of us Sir, think that protest was uncalled for, seriously. We believe that small boy with no beards (something he accidentally has in common with you sir) took it too far. He should have manipulated the Congress. He should have disobeyed them self. Sir, I’m very sure he didn’t try to dialogue with you well enough. We are sure he didn’t exhaust every other diplomatic possibility before leading the protest, he has been posting one long post online with big grammar, of how he texted you that morning. I’ve asked my self, was that enough?. when you missed his calls( you are busy man, of course you have many things on your plate besides addressing irate students and preventing a protest), he should have looked for your wife’s number and tried that too. And maybe your aides and dvc’s too. That Ojo boy is somehow.
Sir, I’m impressed with your administration, it will go down in history as the best UI has ever had. Your approach to student unrest is inspired Sir. I like the way you sidestep us when we come to you. Sir, you are wise, a Genius. Little wonder you’re a Prof. The way you send us home during any protest to disband any form of assembly, to fuel disunity and to make students like us that love you, start begging for resumption on social media and radio stations, that’s freaking brilliant! I’m sure your family and church members are proud of you. God himself, he will be quite impressed with the work you are doing, you know, leading modern day oppression in tertiary institutions and all that. He is happy with you! Posterity, the unborn, minstrels, they will sing praise about your wisdom. Oga boss.
Hopefully, One day, this radical crop of students will all graduate or be sent out (SDC letters in some of their mails hopefully). And it will remain students like me with the administration Sir. Docile and mellow students who just want to graduate and leave the system without caring about posterity(it’s their work, not ours). Students who will love your inspired tyranny and praise your “way of doing things”. Zikkites that will be mellow, katangites that will be soft, awoites that will be withdrawn, idiates that will be reserved, tedderites that will be tender, bellites that will be delicate, kutities that will have no problem cooking with kerosene stove 24/7, queenites that will be selfish, etc. We will be the order of day and you will Lord it over us Sir. We will be more useful to society than the outspoken ones because we’ve chosen to ignore injustice. The others will probably succeed in life because they are mostly selfless, outspoken and have grit. We, we’ll continue to say yes ma and yes Sir like some of our SUTC past ogas, forever.

Sir, Being stubborn can be a good thing. Being stubborn can be a bad thing. It just depends on how you use it. Decide sir, will you use this “talent” of yours for good? To ensure UI remains the first and the best, to ensure your students are happy with you, and other niceties in your responsibilities? To be successful, you really have to put your ego in the background and try to be diplomatic to achieve what you want to achieve. Put that wonderful ego of yours to good use Sir, and watch yourself become an happier man(at least, I think that’s what will happen). Sir, this life, we come in, we live, we die. So short. What do you want history to remember you and your administration for? What do you want God to see you as? A stubborn dictator? Or a Good Man? Remember your name sake Abel, in the Bible, he had only good qualities, Cain Was the “other” one. I hope you will soften up and realize, this life is not hard.

God bless you Professor Abel Olayinka.
God bless you Ojo Aderemi
God bless you, UI SU
God bless you, UI Administration
And God give us all, COMMON SENSE
Commonsensical Uite

*JOINT PRESS STATEMENT OF THE STUDENTS' UNION EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL, UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN DELIVERED ON THURSDAY, 1ST OF JUNE, 2017 BY THE STUDENTS' UNION PRESIDENT, OJO ADEREMI*

Esteemed Gentlemen of the Press, Ever Intelligent & Patriotic Uites, Greatest Nigerian Students, Concerned Nigerians Home and Abroad, Members of the Global Academia, Sympathisers from different civilizations, Conscientious Observers across physical and social borders, Ladies and Gentlemen.

My name is Ojo Aderemi, and I am the President of the University of Ibadan Students' Union.Today,On this most historic date, I succinctly present to the whole world, not merely the statement of our Union, but the testament of affairs in the Ivory tower of the Premier University, the University of Ibadan.

My administration, the Patriotic Intelligentia was sworn into office on May 8, 2017, just 24 days ago. At the said Swearing in ceremony, our plans and visions for the Union were intelligently highlighted in my inauguration speech, full text of which were well circulated and can be easily retrieved from several news platfroms that published it.

As an ideological driven, but progress seeking administration, the Speech listed several cardinal points that bordered on both Student matters and National concerns, including- reducing and extinguishing the flame of Student victimization and exploitation on campus, Increased welfare for all, improvements in learning and living conditions , Humane Treatment of Special Persons, War Against Corruption, Increased Funding of Education, Call for the Release of Remainder of the Chibok Girls, Call for National Referendum among others.

Gentlemen of the Press, Contrary to the widely-circulated, but falsely concocted story of the much- respected Vice-Chancellor that I insulted him at the Inauguration, the only time I spoke at the said event was to deliver my speech, and no part either directly mentioned the vice-chancellor or impliedly insulted him, his personality or his office. It is therefore both laughable and ridiculous to hear that the sole reason supposedly offered by Management for the purported suspension of the Union after 24 days in office was that the President supposedly insulted the Honourable Vice-Chancellor.

It has also been suggested, quite wrongly by the University that the Union directed students to act illegally contrary to University Regulations. However, it is trite to affirm that we have only followed the laws made by the University itself, and nothing else. For instance, the direction of the Studentsa' Union for all Students in the Hostels to use hot plates in the Kitchenettes which the Management generously built was made on the foudation of the law, for the same is provided for in Chapter 6 of the Students' Information Handbook written and circulated by the University itself, and also the Ethics governing the Halls of Residence on Campus. The Union was only advising students to be law- abiding, and thus help the management keep the law it has magnanimously drafted.

Also, the extreme economic conditions which students face has made it impossible for Students to afford the use of kerosene stoves, which is not only embarrassingly expensive, anciently archaiac but also duely dangerous to the wellbeing of students on Campus. It is not only appalling, but completely scary that a 21st Century University can approve only the use of Kerosene Stoves for Students' Use, even contrary to the dictates of its own laws. Our members have been groaning and crumbling under the sheer weight of the financial implications and the health hazards of Kerosene Stoves, and as a responsive Union, we feel the pain and share the burdens, and it will only amount to arrant wickedness and sheer cowardice to remain silent in such circumstances, I'm sure even our Parents wouldn't be proud.

Gentlemen of the Press, without equivocation, the generality of students in the University of Ibadan are law-abiding, peaceful but conscious.We are not rascals who always seek to fight, but radicals who will always fight, not merely to be right, but for our rights. It is in our peaceful, but conscious, ever intelligent, but vigilant, maner that a Students' Union Congress was summoned on the 27th May 2017. While the Congress was an exercise of our fundamental Right to Association as contained and enshrined in the provisions of Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended in 2011), which supersedes every other law or regulation, it was also a duely constituted Congress under the Students' Union Constitution which informs our Union's principles.

At the Congress, it was resolved among others, that the Student's Identity Card, which is a standing levy in the Fees of every Student must be received before Examinations commence, and every parent, even the school management knows the simple nature of contracts- that where consideration has been paid, contract has been made. And not only have greatest Uites paid for our I.D Cards for two sessions now, we have been patient with the management that long. Infact, even when the fees fraudulently skyrocketed for no given reason from 650naira last session to 2000naira this session, an increment of over 200percent, Uites still remained patient. But this has led to our students going through serious security harassment from members of the Nigerian Police Force outside the University environment. Many of our members have even lost credible scholarship and grant opportunities just because they couldn't identify themselves properly as Students.Afterall, anyone can claim to be a Student, only the Identity Card tells the difference.

Gentlemen of the Press, it is also important to add at this point that the central library of our University, the once-great Keneth Dike Library does not open for twenty-four (24) hours, even during examinations. This is rather unfortunate for a University that prides itself as the first and the best, despite the fact that the fee for library registration increeased by 100% this session. The Union has written severally and exhaustively to the appropriate authorities, and has also met with them on various occassions, but to no avail. All we ask for is that our members, undergraduates and postgraduates alike write their examinations and research work in the best possible conditions. Nothing more, nothing less.

At this point, we would like to inform the general public that our University, your University, is no longer what it used to be,the state of welfare conditions in our Hostels is at an all-time low, bathrooms are terrible, toilets are terrible and the living conditions are terrible, access to internet facilities are practically non-existent. While the University Management intentionally releases misleading information that the Students consume electricity beyond the financial capacity of the University, we have irrebutable evidence, that the income generated by each Hall through the payment of the current Accomodation fees and Internally Generated Revenue in the University is not only more than enough to serve the electrical bills of each Hall, but also sufficient for welfare conditions to be improved, if transparency is in place. But the management would have us, our parents and the general public believe that only increment or privatization of accomodation can lead to improvement in living and learning conditions.

Gentlemen of the Press, the Leadership of the Union was mandated by the Students' Union Congress of the 27th May 2017 to press for the address of all these issues, and by unanimous decision, it was agreed that a peaceful protest on the streets was required so the whole world could hear our voices, see our pain and feel our burdens. It is trite to affirm that my administration made every possible move to avert a protest, we consulted with management, we dialogued with them, we even admonished the Vice-Chancellor to make a release to calm the students. But instead of the management to listen to us, we were severally threatened on several instances, and on one of such meetings, the Vice-Chancellor blurted out "I cannot dialogue with a beardless 200level Student". Well, while I may be beardless, I am not support-less, and the rank and file of our Students Union want credible answers, not incredible insults. Please tell the Vice-Chancellor.

It was on this basis that the generality of students, in peaceful manner, organised ourselves and proceeded on a peaceful protest on Democracy Day, May 29, 2017. Not one person was flogged, no shop was looted, no stone was thrown, no bottle broken, infact, the Students marched with our hands in the air, just like Martin Luther King Jr and his followers did.Let it be known at this juncture that the University echelon was well intimated of the proposed protest, and even the honourable Vice-Chancellor had requested a night before that the protest be delayed so he could address the Congress and concede to our demands. In light of this, myself and the Honourable Speaker intentionally stalled at the Congress, awaiting the presence of Mr Vice-Chancellor, but we waited in vain, as he did not pick his call again when dialled several times.

Gentlemen of the Press, Logical Nigerians, National and International Observers, Human Rights Activists, let it also be known that the Oyo State Commissioner Police, Mr Abiodun Ojude, a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, who is currently a Ph.D Student of the University Ibadan, in a phone call with the President threatened to direct his men to open fire on innocent Nigerian Students if we marched on Democracy Day. Infact, he threatened to let blood flow and that we would be picking dead bodies off the streets if we protested. But we refused to be threatened by any unruly element against exercising our constitutional right to peaceful protest, and inspite of the presence of fully armed Policemen, it was just out peaceful conduct that prevented them from unleashing their script of brutality upon our members.

It was thus a complete shock when the Vice-Chancellor on Democracy Day undemocratically, solely and autocratically, against University regulations and without any Senate approval, proceeded to announce at a Broadcast on Diamond F.M, the School Radio that the school was being shut down. We have since learnt that the approval for that action was granted a day after!That is obviously unheard of in sane societies.

On the Second Day, the 30th May 2017, the Vice-Chancellor agained summoned an emergency Senate Meeting contrary to the University Act requirements for an emergency Senate Meeting, after which he forthwith announced, at a hurriedly held Press Conference, without any University Publication or Letter to the Union detailing the decision, that our dear Union stands suspended indefinitely.And till date, the only reason offered by the Senate, the University Management or any of their spokesman is the Vice-Chancellor was insulted by the President of the Students' Union, this is obviously a concocted lie to stifle the lawful and peaceful agitations of Students who have been nothing but partners in progress. As we are yet to receive official formal communication of the said suspension, we will not respect such.

I must add that as it stands, executives and principal oficers and tnants of the Students' Union have been forced out of the Students' Union Building, and the building has been illegally put under lock, and properties of the Union hijacked by agents of the University management. We also have priviledged information that the Union executives and principal officers have been declared wanted by their agents.

Sequel to this, the Professor Olayinka led administration has been employing all forms of attacks on Students' democratic rights. Before now, several students have been wrongfully and unjustly expelled or rusticated from the University by the Central Student Disciplinary Committee without due process. some of them merely spoke against the ills in our University management, and were victimised on no just basis.The Students' Union hereby calls for the reinstatement of these persons, and also intimates the general public through this medium, in the event of the victimisation of myself, any member of the executive council, any member of the representative council or any of our members who actively took part in this struggle.

On this note, gentlemen of the Press, we urge all Uites, Nigerian Students, Concerned Nigerians Home and Abroad, Members of the Global Academia, Sympathisers from different civilizations, Conscientious Observers across physical and social borders, to come to our aid and assist the union as we mount pressure on the University management to concede to our demands which are as follows:

1. Immediate release of the Students' Union Building and all properties of the Students' Union that has been wrongfully siezed.
2. Immediate return of all Undergraduate Students to Halls of Residence.
2. Proper and transparent account of the fees paid for the issuance of ID cards from 2015/2016 academic session till date.
3. Students must have the rights to use hotplates in the kicthenettes as provided for by the laws of the University.
4. Distribution of ID Cards before first semester examinations for the 2016/2017 academic session begins.
5.Immediate call for a Welfare Board meeting, to address the sundry welfare issues on campus.
7. Reinstatement of all wrongfully and unjustly expelled or rusticated students by the University's Central Student Disciplinary Committe.
8. An immediate audit of the University's Bursary department, UI Ventures, UI Microfinance bank, Office of the Vice Chancellor, Office of the Deputy-Vice Chancellor (Administration), Office of the Deputy-Vice Chancellor (Academics), Office of the Dean of Students, Hall Management Committeeof all halls of residence.
9. The University's Central Library should be open for use 24 hours everyday as stipulated in the Student Information Handbook.

Finally, we oppose any form of commercialisation of the University which is a federal government property, and we demand that the University management must respect students' democratic right to independent unionism. The Union leadership will from this moment start to employ every available legal means allowed by the Nigerian Constitution to retrieve our dear Union from the clutches of the administration and every form of Oppression. The Days to come may be rough, but our courage and determination is tough. We will not negotiate the Welfare
of Students.

We also appeal to all Sister Unions on all Campuses, NASU, SSANU, ASUU, NLC, TUC and the generality of Nigerians, our guardians and parents especially to lend us their support in this struggle.

Amandla Aweltu (We Shall Not Be Discouraged)!
God Bless Our Union!
God Bless University of Ibadan!
God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Thank you all for your time.

Posterity must judge us, we must also have a share of the judgement of things we left undone in the face of oppression, unjust treatment, suppression and domination.
Haba!!! Where are we rushing to after graduation? Come and ask me where I am today, ask Azeez Shuaib what he had been able to achieve with his certificate, ask Amuda Mosigbodi-Plato Bamidele if his certificate got him the present job he does, how about asking Tokunbo Salako if its all about certificate. In our own capacity we reacted to unfair welfare and attempt to silent students' observation in the way the management dispose their responsibilities. We fought endlessly for the rebirth of the Union, and he hoped for continuity in the reaction to unjust management of the school, little do we know "A Abel Olayinka" will indefinitely suspend our sweats on the union.
So many students are passive to affairs of solidarity,struggles and revolutionary ideologies, still they are first to rant when school is locked down just because we did same thing they(management) at their student days also did. If you fall in the category of passive students just know the nemesis will catch on you again at your workplace after graduation, that is even if you are lucky to get a job. At the face of oppression at workplace will you rather subject yourself to continuous oppression suicide because you failed to bag the other degree/certificate which was to prepare you on how to reject oppression no matter what the poser is!
We have heard of students comrades in decades who were jailed for offences that till date has no name under criminal law. Hassan Taiwo Soweto, Abbey T Trotsky to mention few had at a point and another taken prison as their shelter due to the societal decay of silencing students who queried and questioned the system of University administration.
I call on all vibrant alumni/stakeholders to wake up from their sleeps to the journey of our alma mata been destroyed by the capitalist driven management who are at the verge of murdering the wealth of knowledge that made them and us.
The University is full of corrupt practices and vested interest actualization. How on earth will students pay for identity cards on different occasions without been given nor bringing-Forward outstanding fees on the ID cardsto make up for the recent issuance.
It sounds stupid to hear that the university is on lockdown as a result of a protest staged to react to failure to get our ID cards, to me it is rather sincere to call a spade its name. The simple truth is that students went on rampage as a result of the management's inability to be accountable for funds paid for Id cards, the system is in so much mess of corrupt practices, and this explains why the money struggled for and paid by students for Id cards is not floating or accounted for .If we had allowed the sleeping dog lie, no management would have discussed where the initial funds were diverted to.
We call on the Education Right Campaign and other relevant organizations to intervene , so that the rebirth of our Students' Union will not be lost again in the face of oppression.
The rot in the citadels of learning today is not far from the reflection of the country decay, and not until we struggle to free ourselves from the shackles of the so called capitalist leaders, we will keep wallowing in the same issue, there is a need for a working class, youth, masses and student alternative party which will replace the selfish capitalist system of government. As such and at present , socialism seems to be the only solution to our societal problems, in which the affair of the country will be collectively management by the citizens, and as such the Universities too will be free of all sort of domination and suppression from our military like management
Shewa.
Shewa.

Posterity must judge us, we must also have a share of the judgement of things we left undone in the face of oppression, unjust treatment, suppression and domination.
Haba!!! Where are we rushing to after graduation? Come and ask me where I am today, ask Azeez Shuaib what he had been able to achieve with his certificate, ask Amuda Mosigbodi-Plato Bamidele if his certificate got him the present job he does, how about asking Tokunbo Salako if its all about certificate. In our own capacity we reacted to unfair welfare and attempt to silent students' observation in the way the management dispose their responsibilities. We fought endlessly for the rebirth of the Union, and he hoped for continuity in the reaction to unjust management of the school, little do we know "A Abel Olayinka" will indefinitely suspend our sweats on the union.

Today is Democracy day, a day a commissioner of police in Oyo State promised to kill protesting UI students because he feels he has the power to control his trigger happy men in mourning clothes to fire at innocent students exhibiting their fundamental human right , the same day the Vice Chancellor of University of Ibadan Prof Olayinka Abel shut down the University because he refused to give students what they paid for and believes the best way to get rid of them is to send them home. University of Ibadan boast to be amongst the best in the world yet, one of her faculties was denied accreditation, a faculty that is has existed over 30years.
I have seen lecturers who were overworked for peanuts as take home, yet these lecturers never complain, I have seen students who have been victimized for airing their views, yet we claim to be Democratic, as it is everywhere we now have elitist workers who looked down on other workers in the University community, worse than our political environment,yet we hypocritically shout "Democracy". My message to the oppressors is simple, continue your act, but remember one day you will be too weak to be in charge, and that day is near
