A CLARION CALL TO JOBLESS NIGERIAN GRADUATES STILL ROAMING THE STREETS OF THEIR ALMA MATTER. I understand that the economy of the country so far, has not been palatable and helpful for most graduates to make head way in life. This has been the reason why some have decided to make the idea of following politician around or roaming the streets within University of Ibadan, a job. Some graduates used their political romance with politicians to secure meaningful job while some use it to secure political appointment. To those set of people that secure a genuine job through political romance or bootlicking, we can term them smart and determined not just to be used by politicians. Among the smart group of people, some behave foolishly even though they pretend to be classy by fronting political and social agitation plus students/politicians financial negotiation,though they front more for their pocket yet they pretend not to be gaining anything financially. I think its

A LESSON LEARNED FROM AN ADULT POLITICIAN As the welfare secretary of the Students Union Transition Committee, University of Ibadan in 2008 under the able leadership of Raimi Oluwadamilare as the Chairman, we were approached by NANS to organise a personality public Lecture in which Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe would be the guest speaker. The Chairman chose me to liaise with them and be the front man for the Union while i traveled down with them to the senator's house in Lagos. O n getting to the senator's house, we were accorded much respect as uites. I guess the senator knew the NANS representative very well with the way they interacted. With much talk we concluded and stood up to go and a most astonishing thing transpired.  Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe sought my attention and said '''iwo! sora fun awon won yi o! fi oju si iwe re ki osi fi iwon si ohun ti e nse nitori awon eleyi ti lo igba ti won tan o" meaning; you! be very careful with these o

OUR TAKE IN THE STAMPEDE AND IN TOTAL REJECTION OF THE PRESENCE OF RADICAL BROTHER IN TEDDER HALL The attention of the conscious layers of studentry and especially that of the DSM comrades has been called to the recent post on the union Facebook page on how Hon. Segun Olaleye was rejected from campaigning and distributing APC flyers within Tedder hall on the night of Thursday 15th of January, 2015. It is important to clear the air that DSM comrades did not only mobilise their friends and floor- mates at B Block in Tedder hall against the presence of Hon. Segun Olaleye (Radical Brother) but importantly use that medium to popularize our age long campaign slogan to chase all political thieving elites out of power geared towards a total overthrow of the capitalist system and in an immediate formation a working class government. However, with the event of last Thursday night, we want to sincerely appreciate bravery and salute the courage of Tedderites who openly stampede

IMPLICATIONS OF ELECTION VIOLENCE In 2007, a young boy that graduated from Lagos State University, Ojoo Lagos was recruited as a member of a political thug in Ibadan being a strong member of an association during his University days. This is a boy that have spent close to 5years preparing to go and face the labour market with the hope of securing a good job in order for his future and that of his family be secured especially his mum and dad. But unfortunately, he ended up as a ... political thug probably in the interim to make ends meet. To cut a long story short, on the election day, himself with his group went all out brandishing dangerous weapons in solidarity to the interest of their political Godfather. Information has it that everyone of the group was given 5thousand naira each as the benefit for the assignment at hand. During the political struggle, this young man was short dead after the whole issue. His group brought him to the home of the political father to show th

A FAILED GENERATIONS OF YOUTH. WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO? Radical Brother, Hon. Olusegun Olaleye, presently representing Ibdan North Constituency, after several years of graduation from UI and bootlicking the feet of politicians all around oyo state and Nigeria without meaningful job or creating one for himself and others to better their lot, except moving with NANS train as an old cargo student, ends up in oyo state house of Assembly, representing the interest of Ibadan North indigenes as a whole. No work or entrepreneurial experience or what have you yet he's standing as a politician today. Now several other youths have taken the same part as radical brother, towing the same line but they would want to hide that they are studying at masters level or Ph.D. and as such they are still student... continue deceiving yourselves!!! Like play like play, Dapo Lam without any administrative experience, emerged a two times commissioner by virtue of his opportune father's political i

SHARING NIGERIA'S POLITICAL POWER In Nigeria political power belongs to Abuja and Lagos. Presently, PDP own that of Abuja while APC own that of lagos and both parties have spent 16years each at each locations. APC tried in lagos with draconian approach and some level of development but sincerely we are not satisfied as a people because we are not animal. We don't like elitist policies and nepotism and discremination again!! We want a Nigeria and lagos where we will respect ou r peculiarity as a nation and not come with European or American policies to rule or lead us. Even APC is not totally free of corruption and embezzlement. Also, at the central, samething applies to PDP but PDP is extremely corrupt!!!!.  So, the issue now is that both party are greedy with group of greedy people.. PDP want both Abuja and Lagos and APC too want both Abuja and Lagos. Are these people normal? Where's the value of "let go"? Obviously we all need cha

Some people love abusing those of us playing politics on facebook not knowing that facebook is bigger than Nigeria in terms of population, communication and the financial strength.  presently, facebook has over a billion members whereas Nigeria is estimated 170millon people even though theres no statistics to determine how many nigerians are on facebook but if we consider the fact that over 100million Nigerians use mobile phones and since 112million Nigerians are adjudged poor by NBS,2014, we can conclude that the remaining rich nigerians who are about 70million are on facebook using smart phones and other gadgets. Therefore, since registered voters are 68.8million and people with voters cards are 38.7million considering that facebook is worth over $30billion dollars whereas Nigeria is less than $10billion dollars worth, no one should underestimate the significant strength of facebook political content as an advantage to determine the success of an individua

In 2010, a particular publication of TELL MAGAZINE was filled with the achievement of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida during campaign in preparation for 2011 presidential election. While reading through those achievements, my mouth was widely open such that it took me long to realise that I was opening my mouth while reading IBB's achievements in office. But it occur to me that his achievements can't match his abysmality "corruption" which during his regime, was internationalized and gave Nigeria a bad name till date. This conviction lead to the creation of the facebook page" no to IBB presidential ambition" and the campaign was so tensed then and still in the heart of those that knew and every other Nigerians that we can't accept IBB as President. Today, we have seen a man not even close to the achievement of IBB but share the same abysmality with IBB "corruption". I must say this one is a corruption Caesar. Yet he Is bent
