UI Tussle : VC To Meet With The State Commissioner of Police

The Commissioner of Police, Oyo State and the embattled Vice Chancellor of University of Ibadan, Professor Olayinka Abel were said to meet yesterday, 31st May, 2016 to address the students of the institution over the allegedly unlawful  arrest of two students of the university from the Students' Union building (SUB) yesterday.

Mr. Tokunbo was said to be in the building prior to the arrest. The chief security officer and his men stormed the building and the CSO ordered that he should be arrested. Resistance from the loyalists of Mr Tokunbo left the CSO with no other option but to conduct the arrest himself, which he did and subsequently handed him over to the waiting police officers after which he was taken to the Ojoo Police Station.

It was also gathered that after this arrest, a student activist Asiwaju Babatunde Badmus was informed and in his bid to rescue Mr Tokunbo, he was also arrested.

At the police station, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) was reported to have said that the  order effecting the arrests were from the Vice Chancellor himself.

Not long  after the arrests, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo state ordered that the arrested students be released with immediate effect.

University Of Ibadan Students Take To Twitter To Call For Vice Chancellor's Removal

Students of the University of Ibadan have since taken to the social media to agitate for the removal of the school’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Abel Olayinka. The students created a hashtag #Olayinkamustgo has been trending on Twitter since the early hours of Monday, 30th of May, 2016. The agitation was a response to the arrest of two past union leaders, Tokunbo Salako, and Babatunde Badmus, presumably on the orders of the VC.

Babatunde Badmus (BB) took to the official Facebook page of University of Ibadan students’ Union on Monday, May 30, to inform the public that he and Tokunbo Salako have been arrested and detained at Sango Police station, Ibadan, on the directive of the University of Ibadan’s Vice Chancellor.

In an interview with Tokunbo Salako, he narrated how the event unfolded to the SaharaReporters. “I was sitting at the Students Union Building (SUB) when the university’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) came with about 20 security men and asked what I was doing in the building and then ordered the security men to arrest me, but the security men were reasonable people and would not arrest me. When he (CSO) saw that his boys did not obey him, he then held me by my trousers; that was when I pushed the CSO back.

All of them (security men) then carried me to their office. We were outside when BB came. The VC then called the police to come and arrest me. BB followed me to Sango. Students’ union excos and other Students joined us at Sango police station while we were still writing statements. We were transferred to Iyaganku Police station but before then, the VC called the DPO of Sango police station that she should detain me and BB till tomorrow. The DPO told him that she would inform the commissioner of police. The Commissioner of Police then ordered that we be released immediately. The commissioner appealed for calm, and promised to address us tomorrow.” He narrated.

According to a special release by the Students Union government, a meeting had been scheduled to hold by 10 am on Monday, May 30th at the SUB where Tokunbo Salako was arrested. The leadership of the Students Union has called out to its members for a meeting again, tomorrow at SUB by 10 am. This, obviously, is in defiance to the school management’s decision to shut down the school.

The University of Ibadan has been shut down since April 26th, 2016 after a two-day protest against what the students perceived as unjust rustication of Tunji Epketi Micheal aka MOTE, a 500 level student of Petroleum Engineering.

On Thursday, November 19th, 2015, Mote had joined a protest led by the residents of Independence Hall in University of Ibadan. The residents of Independence Hall were reported to have protested about the lack of water and power in the hall. The protest led to the rustication of Mote for two semesters.

In a bid to resolve the issue and reopen the school, the management of the University of Ibadan called for a meeting between the university management and parents. This was also communicated through the VC’s Facebook page. The meeting has been scheduled for June, 7th 2016.

Tokunbo Salako and Babatunde Badmus are postgraduate students at the Institute of Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ibadan. It is also worthy of mention that the post-graduate students are not affected by the school's closure hence, the two union leaders did nothing wrong being in the University premises.

Drama Unfolds As Olamide Answers Motherland's Beckon In OAU

Drama Unfolds As Olamide Answers Motherland's Beckon

The Afrika Amphitheatre was definitely the place to be on Monday, the 30th 2016, as popular indigenous musician; Adedeji Olamide, popularly known as Olamide Badoo visited the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife.

The show which hosted Olamide was organised by Motherland Beckons, an organisation which is said to reach out to Africans in Diaspora. However, the show had quite the dramatic touch as just before it began, a faction of Students caused a scene claiming that the ticket fees of the show was too expensive for a University community. It took the intervention of the security Unit of the University to salvage the situation even though the popular "Awo Boys" eventually had their way.

The show featured performances from a number of acts; Anu, the Lady Ekwe and Olo Omidan Bata who both thrilled the audience with their percussion skills and a number of other indigenous acts. Some upcoming OAU acts also graced the stage of the event.

However, when it was time for the star of the night to perform, the audience as expected went into an uncontrollable frenzy. Despite the efforts of the security officials on stage with the act, some persons were still untameable which eventually led to fights breaking out around the stage where the Abule Sowo crooner was performing. The fights left Olamide upset which led to his unexpected exit from the stage but this was not before he treated the audience to several of his hit songs. It is also worthy to note that this would not be the first time the YBNL Boss is visiting Obafemi Awolowo University and he made this clear when he obeyed popular"Dobale" tradition of the Institution.

We would hope following the turn out of events, this would not be his last visit to the Institution.

OAU Freshmen Commence Orientation Programme

Sequel to the resumption of the freshmen of the Obafemi Awolowo University, the orientation programme organised for the freshers by the Division of Students Affairs commenced on Monday, 31st May, 2016.
The fresh students who were firstly initiated into OAU proper with the recitation of the great Ife anthem were filled with ecstasy as they sang the anthem with enormous zeal. The programme then featured a welcoming address from the Vice Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Afolabi and an address from the Acting Dean of Student Affairs, Dr (Mrs) Durosinmi. The orientation programme also featured some other notable speakers who spoke on various topics affecting the undergraduate.

However, the programme which is slated to hold for a week would continue till the freshers begin their ICT training. Meanwhile, some Faculties have commenced their registration processes even as a number of Freshmen still remain unable to secure bedspaces.

Europa League Final 2016: St. Jakob-Park Debacle

As Jonas Eriksson blew his whistle to signal the end of the second 45minutes in St. Jakob-Park Basel, Switzerland, a quarter of the 38,512 spectators erupted to celebrate the victory of the three times Europa league winner - Sevilla.  Tears trickled down the cheeks of some Liverpool players who had anticipated to go into the history book at Anfield after 'hitting the post' in their second finals of the season.  For Liverpool, It was a tough showdown with the Liga Copa del Rey runner-up; a match officiated by a refereeing crew which after a drug test admitted to puffing hallucinogenic drugs.

Jonas Eriksson reportedly told UEFA doping officials he inhaled about “one gram of K2" before kickoff. Though the English side enjoyed a quick-witted first 45 minutes where blatantly palpable - egregious - fouls were not called as the officials who were patently under the influence of the narcotic changed the rules of the game allowing the match see four very obvious hand balls not counted.  An instance of such was the Daniel Sturridge perfectly weighted pass that Grzegorz Krychowiak reached down and batted away.  Jonas Eriksson said "I SAW A THOUSAND LIFETIMES IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE", "I TALKED TO GOD, I AM MY OWN FATHER".

The final whistle in Basel saw Sevilla clinched the trophy the third consecutive time.  After successfully turning UEFA Champions League final into a Liga Madrid derby, Real Madrid trumped their city rival to lift their 11th UCL title.

The dominance of the Spanish league is now like the luminescence of the moon which can't be shielded. As the English teams struggle to clamber up the league of top clubs in Europe, The Spanish teams had climbed to the top taking part in all competitions across the continent.  This is the third time Spanish teams would be clearing the tables leaving nothing left for others to compensate their travels.

When Liverpool football club arrived Merseyside, there were no open roof buses to convey them; their defeat to the Copa del Rey runner-up is the fifth consecutive final their newly appointed manager, Jurgen Kloop would lose.

While it continue to look as if the city of Liverpool is alone in their mishap, or as if Jurgen Kloop tribulation had just continued, I see the country that presently inhabit the duo to have added to its adversity and might strictly be affected by the loss in the long run.  One tenable repercussion had been the non-participation of more than four English teams in Europe most elite competition whereas the Spanish empire have been having five representatives over the last 2 years.

The failure of Liverpool squad to replicate the night at Istanbul; Jurgen Kloop's unlucky kismet with finals; Jonas Eriksson misinterpreted vision and St. Jakob-Park debacle all accumulated to add salt to English football's injury.
