A LESSON LEARNED FROM AN ADULT POLITICIAN

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.

On 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 ones o! be focused and face your studies and put a limit to all these things you people are doing because these NANS people have used their own time finished. Then i immediately realised i needed be very careful. A word of advise from an elderly man.

Today, i am so surprised that such thing as front negotiator still exists and these powerful politicians always view them with disdain because they are political jobbers and these boys always think they are powerful with self aggrandizement that they are well connected.

We are the future of Nigeria and the future is now. We must never allow our name stained or easily get influenced with the ideology of if you cant beat them, join them. We must realise that the assignment in front of us as the transformation agent of Nigeria, is very demanding.

We must exhaust all possible options to stand up right.

God bless the University of Ibadan!!
God bless Uites!!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

OYO STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIVATIZATION INITIATIVE: A DRIVE TOWARDS COLLAPSE OF EDUCATION IN OYO STATE AND STRANGULATION OF THE POOR TO ILLITERACY.

I want to start by saying that the primary reason for the existence of government is the welfare of the people in terms of education, security of lives, provision of basic amenities, shelter and clothing if possible to the core poor and every other thing is secondary. No government that tries making primary duty secondary and secondary duty primary, succeeds.  Of all the primary duties of the government, education is sacrosanct to the liberation of the people and mental empowerment. If it cant be made to be free, it should be made to be affordable as governments success is key to provision of services and not profit making. If the state cannot manage the public schools again, it should humbly give the schools back to their original owners. There are missionary schools among these public schools and during the time of baba awolowo that these people deceitfully claimed to be following, education up to secondary school was totally free and many among them benefitted even on scholars...
