The Story of Tunji-Ekpeti Michael a.k.a MOTE and How It Concerns you!
Of the Greatest Nigerian Students
Ever Conscious Nigerian Students
What
you are about to read is an exposition of the evil plans of the current
University of Ibadan Management to turn the ever intelligent University
of Ibadan students into PUPPETS. It is highly recommended that you
follow this piece to the very end so you can fully understand what is
about to happen, probably the biggest protest ever.
WHY and HOW DOES THIS CONCERN YOU?
In the words of Martin Luther King Jr, he said and I quote
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the GOOD PEOPLE.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM?
Operation
Free Mote is a massive campaign against the continuous victimization of
students by the University of Ibadan Management. It is now clear to all
that the current administration led by Prof Olayinka has come into
power just to use IRON BARS to cage UITES. There has been continuous
attacks on students but the LAST STRAW THAT HAS NOW BROKEN THE CAMEL’S
BACK is the case of MOTE, a 500 level student of the Petroleum
Engineering Department who was unjustly rusticated for being part of a
peaceful protest carried out by the residents of Independence Hall last
semester.
The
protest which saw over 500 katangites troop out after exceeding the
elastic limit of their patience to peaceful request improvement in
welfare activities of the Hall after the hall had suffered for over two
weeks lack of water and power supply exclusively to the Independence
Hall without any cogent explanation from the University management .
It was
however surprising that after more than two weeks of neglect and
lackadaisical approach to the issue, the University management found it
as a sense of urgency to attend to the problem of independence hall that
very morning of the protest. Just about one hour after the protest, the
Dean of Students Affairs visited the hall and the already rusty pumping
machine of the hall was repaired and water started gushing out once
again, power supply which had almost become a thing of the past for the
hall suddenly magically came back to life.
The
question to ask at this point is WHY DID THE UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT WAIT
FOR A PROTEST TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY COULD HEAR THE YEARNINGS OF
KATANGITES.
SHOULD KATANGITES HAVE KEPT SILENT OVER THAT MATTER AND MAYBE TILL TODAY THEY WOULDN’T STILL HAVE HAD LIGHT AND WATER...
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE PROTEST?
After
the protest, the hall warden of Independence Hall who obviously was the
culprit that could not successfully manage the hall decided to look for a
scapegoat to put his blame on. Instead of Dr. Ayagunna admitting his
incompetence in managing the students who have confidence in his
leadership, he decided to look for a SCAPE GOAT.
OVER 500 STUDENTS PROTESTED SO WHY MOTE PARTICULARLY?
That
same period was getting close to the Independence Hall Elections, MOTE,
who was obviously a man of the people was said to at that time have
ambition to contest the Independence Hall Administrator General. Bearing
in mind that MOTE was going to become the AG and will always advocate
for the rights of fellow students at all times, Dr. AYAGUNNA allegedly
beat his chest that he was going to “finish” MOTE. He started by
processing an SDC letter for MOTE which automatically made the young man
lose his qualification to contest as the Students’ Union constitution
doesn’t allow anyone with a pending SDC case to contest.
He
later went on to fully ensure that SDC panel rusticate MOTE. It is very
shocking that Dr. AYAGUNNA who is supposed be a father over students was
reportedly laughing and celebrating after MOTE had been rusticated. He
was quoted to have said that “I HAVE STILL NOT FINSIHED DEALING WITH
THAT BOY”. This makes it crystal clear that the case of Mote is a pure
case of POLITICAL VICTIMIZATION.
HOW THIS AFFECTS US ALL - ADEWOLE’S TENURE VERSUS OLAYINKA’S
The
current administration is seriously planning an underground mission to
purportedly turn UI students into MORONS. The reason for this is simple,
there are plans to increase the tuition fee very soon and the only way
they can do this is by firstly “finishing” all student activists on
campus. The management thereby has turned into a SCIENTIST conducting
experiments with the FUTURE of NIGERIAN STUDENTS. The case of MOTE is
first of such experiment and if the outcome becomes successful for them,
many more experiments of students’ rustication will follow.
It is
becoming evident that even Queen Idia and Obafemi Awolowo Halls are now
two new laboratories for the experiment being conducted by the Prof.
Olayinka administration. There have been serious outcries from Queen
Idia Hall where our female students are being told to pay FINE for very
unintelligent reasons. It only makes one wonder whether we are truly in a
University that prides itself in training students that have SOUND
SENSE OF JUDGMENT.
Where on EARTH are University students FINED 2000 naira for not laying their BEDS?
Where on EARTH are University students FINED 2000 naira for dirty clothes on their BEDS?
Where on EARTH are University students FINED for not using CARPETS in THEIR rooms?
Where on EARTH are University students FINED for not having a LAUNDRY BASKET?
Well these are the current happenings in the supposedly FIRST AND BEST university!
It is
either you JOIN THE PROTEST TODAY AND LET’S FIGHT THIS EVIL ANTICS once
and for all or REMAIN SILENT AND KEEP GETTING OPPReSSED.
Look at
AWO HALL, the hall lacked water for more 6 weeks to the extent that our
female students were fetching and drinking MUDDY water! The university
never attended to these girls until the students, themselves, decided to
come around and donate their personal money to buy a pumping machine.
The pumping machine after contribution among concerned students was
bought and fixed, the water system of the hall resurrected BUT just some
days after, the University management are threatening to send out Union
Executives to the SDC for buying and installing a pumping machine on
behalf of the school. SOUND JUDGEMENT RIGHT? HOW VERY CRAZY?!
They
have been ordered to go and remove the pumping machine fixed so
residents of the Obafemi Awolowo Hall should not be surprised to go back
to their old conditions BUT who will FIGHT FOR THESE STUDENTS if we
ALLOW them VICTIMIZE MOTE RIGHT NOW?
THE FIGHT IS ON, WHAT YOUR PART SHOULD BE!
Today
is the D-DAY, there is an ongoing massive mobilization across all
institutions in OYO STATE to storm the University of Ibadan with the
combined forces of ALUTA, and so the UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT can know that
we are not babies. At our AGE, many of the great leaders of today were
already ruling the country, and some wicked people here in the
University trying are trying to suppress and oppress us at this age.
Are they actually training us to be leaders or PUPPETS AND WEAKLINGS OF TOMORROW?
In the
words of a fellow comrade, if protest was an offence, most of them who
are members of ASUU are supposed to have been SACKED by the FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT by now.
Of
course we know their history, the same set of people who protested over
FREE CHICKEN and TURKEY in the time past are now the ones RUSTICATING
students for PEACEFULLY DEMANDING improved welfare conditions.
A CLARION CALL TO YOU!
This is
not a small fight, we have contacted both local and international media
houses to showcase to the world the rot in the Nigerian Educational
System, University of Ibadan as a case study.
We
hereby call on students’ BLOGGERS, SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTS, STUDENT WRITERS
AND (campus) JOURNALISTS to take the campaign to a global view. Let
them know what is happening in Nigeria, the University of Ibadan.
By the
end of today, the #FREEMOTE should be TRENDING ON TWITTER, let the
students in HARVARD University know that the supposedly first and best
university in Nigeria won’t give you light, won’t give you water and
when you stand up to request for it, they will give you an AWARD called
SDC LETTER and rusticate you!
Yesterday
it was Kunle Adepeju and Colleagues, TODAY, it is MOTE, Tomorrow It MAY
BE YOU, it is hightime we stopped this insanity because the hottest
place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great
moral conflict.
This protest will continuously LOCK DOWN the University of Ibadan until the following demands are met:
1. UNCONDITIONAL REINSTATEMENT of Tunji Ekpeti Michael with IMMEDIATE EFFECT
2. THE
Students Disciplinary Committee should tender an UNQUALIFIED APOLOGY to
Mr. Tunji Ekpeti Michael for the psychological trauma caused to him.
An injustice to one is an injustice to all.
Aluta continua
Signed.

TMZ reports that Prince Die without a will and his finances is in a mess
"Prince was a disaster when it came to finances and his business affairs, and many of the people who worked with him say ignoring their advice to make a will is just a small piece of a chaotic puzzle.
We're told in the 5 years leading up to Prince's death, it was virtually impossible to get his signature on any legal document. Sources who worked with Prince tell us, he felt "screwed over" by people who had him sign deals in his younger years, and that made him "paranoid" to sign anything.
Prince was so distrusting ... he jumped from lawyer to lawyer almost every year, and sometimes more often. One professional who worked with the singer tells us, Prince called him out of the blue one day and said he wanted to hire him. The professional asked Prince for his business files, and the answer was, "I don't know, they're out there somewhere." The professional never got the files.
We're told although Prince hired and fired a slew of professionals, his most trusted advisers were "beautiful, 20-something women, all models with no experience in anything." It caused chaos in his life ... especially in the financial department.”
The NLC president, Ayuba Wabba, at a news conference in Abuja today April 27th, said the new minimum wage was proposed to the Federal government yesterday April 26th.
“I can say now authoritatively that as of yesterday (Tuesday) we made a formal proposal to the Federal Government of N56,000 to be the new minimum wage. The demand has been submitted officially to government and we hope that the tripartite system to look at the review will actually be set up to look at it. Our argument is that, yes, it is true that the economy is not doing well, but the law stated that wages for workers must be review after every five years. So, the issue must be looked into by the Federal Government and workers should not be seen as sleeping on their rights,”he said.
The management of the University of Ibadan (UI) Tuesday evening shutdown the institution indefinitely and ordered the students to vacate the campus with immediate effect.
This
development came after students of the institution staged a protest over
management’s victimization of a student who took part in a recent
protest by the students as well as poor power and water supply in the
school.
A
circular issued by the Registrar of the school, Dr O.I. Olukoya, Tuesday
evening said the management, in order to safeguard lives and properties
had decided that the school should be shut indefinitely and that
students should vacate the campus immediately.
The
circular titled “Disturbance of peace and threat to lives and property
on campus by some students of the University of Ibadan and other
students” ask students to comply with the directive till further notice.

ways with Olamide's record label as his two year contract with the
label had expired. There was also a report that indicated that Lil Kesh is
floating a label of his own named 'YAGI' Records and there is no bad
blood between him and his former boss.
Lil Kesh just confirmed that
although the YAGI Record Label rumour is true, YBNL remains his family
and management for life.
Olamide has also reacted and released a statement via his Instagram page.

Lemonade, Beyonce‘s new visual album is trending because of the lyric speculated infidelity in her marriage to Jay Z.
Now, one of the women at the centre of the storm, designer Rachel Roy has spoken out.
The now deleted Instagram post
“I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that,” she said. “There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors.”Now that she has denied being involved with Jay Z, Bey Hive has moved on to accuse musician Rita Ora.
Roy, 42, continued: “Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother – and I know many mothers would agree – I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable.
“I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone,” she said.

I normally would not post something this personal, but I do not remember the last time I felt so justly upset.
An Open Letter to Aviation Security in Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport:
Being a working mother is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Trying to manage the logistics of drop-offs and pick-ups and conference calls and meetings and finding the time and energy to make sure both your family and work are getting ample amounts of your care and attention is both challenging and fulfilling, but mostly extremely exhausting and stressful. When you’re fortunate enough as I am to have a job that involves travel, it’s an exciting opportunity, but it comes with even more extreme challenges when you have kids – being away from them, managing care back home from afar, and in my case, figuring out how you’re going to feed your 8 month old breastfed baby while you’re required to be away for 15 days and travel to eight different cities. For months I pumped and froze milk during the day and in the middle of the night to feed my son with the hopes I would have enough to see him through my time away, but eventually I had to deal with the sense of failure I felt when I realized it wouldn’t be enough to nourish him while I traveled, and thus I would have to introduce formula. Formula is perfectly acceptable (I clearly give it to my son), but as we had established a good breastfeeding relationship, it was my first choice and priority. I had also breastfed my first son until a year, so I wanted to give my second son the same.
To help ease the personal guilt, I resolved to pump at every possible moment between my meetings, presentations, business lunches and dinners, taxis, flights, and long waits in airports. This meant pumping while sitting on toilets in public restrooms; stuffed in an airplane bathroom; in unsecured conference rooms, showers, and closets because certain office spaces didn’t have a place for a nursing mother – and then dealing with the humiliation when a custodial employee accidentally walked in on me. It meant having to talk about my personal matters (my nursing schedule) with my professional coworkers and my supervisor in order to sneak away to said closet or public bathroom – a discomfort I had to learn how to swallow if I was to supply my son with breast milk. It meant going to each hotel and convincing them to store my giant insulated bags of milk in their restaurant freezers to preserve it. It meant lugging this giant block of frozen breast milk through four countries, airports and security checkpoints and having them pull out every single ounce of breastmilk and use mildly inappropriate sign language to convey "breast" and "milk" so that they would let me through. Which they did. Every one of them. Except you.
You made me dump nearly 500oz of breastmilk in the trash.
You made me dump out nearly two weeks worth of food for my son.
I acknowledge my part in this equation. I should have looked up the Civil Aviation rule. You do not allow breastmilk on the plane if the mother is not traveling with her baby – a regulation in and of itself that is incredibly unfair and exclusionary in consideration of all of the other working mothers like me who are required at certain times to spend time away from their baby, but intend to continue to breastfeed them. That being said, more than 300oz of that milk was frozen. Solid. Like a rock. I was willing to let go of the liquid milk. But you also wanted the solid milk because it could “melt and become a liquid.”
I travel significantly for work and personal leisure. I have two small children and have breastfed them both, bringing frozen breastmilk on plane after plane after plane, including in countries with strict liquid laws. Never have I ever been asked to throw out the milk because it might at some future time become a liquid. In fact, in most of those locations, they simply test the liquid milk as well and let me take it ALL on, liquid or frozen, child or no child with me. The truth is that had I read the Civil Aviation rule regarding liquids, I still would not have checked the bag because by it’s very definition, a liquid is “not a gas or a solid.” And since the milk was frozen, it was by all technical definitions a solid, so I had no reason to believe that it wouldn’t meet your standards, as it had met the non-liquid standards of dozens of airports around the world on so many of my previous trips,, including four in the past week alone.
I offered to check it. But that wouldn’t work either according to you because I had crossed the border and the only way for me to check the bag now was to exit the airport and re-enter – which I was also willing to do. But you wouldn’t give me the milk back – because now it was a “non-compliant item” and needed to be confiscated. It was as if you were almost proud to deny me at every possible point of compromise. Despite my begging, pleading and even crying out of sheer shock and desperation for a solution (which you essentially scoffed at with annoyance), you treated me as if I was trying to smuggle liters of hydrogen peroxide onto the plane. There was no room for discussion; “it’s the law.”
And yet how many times have I not taken off my shoes or taken out my laptop or not put my liquids in a quart bag full of 3oz bottles or rather had WAY more than a quart bag full of 3oz bottles? I can’t even count the number of times I’ve seen people attempt to bring on a unique souvenir that is deemed a potential weapon and they’re sent back out to check it so they can keep it. It happens. A lot.
Airport security is extremely important – it is essential in the world’s current threat environment, and I'm deeply appreciative of the work done by thousands of aviation security workers at airports around the globe; but it’s not a production line, despite the perception. There is an important place for customer service, judgment and critical thinking, and there are moments that should be treated as opportunities to assist people in their travel when there is ample evidence that an individual or item isn’t a threat. I can say this because I've not only seen it, I've experienced it at many airports, domestic and international. Rules and procedures at airport security are rarely universally enforced because similar to police officers, a significant aspect of your job is public trust and engagement, which includes using your judgment regarding appropriate enforcement in complex situations. Such as a mother trying to bring food home for her baby. In fact, after I agreed to dump the liquid milk after being spoken to by a manager, I was asked by a different employee what to do with the milk, as if it was open for discussion. Apparently it wasn't clear to her off the bat, which leads me to believe there are exceptions made in similar situations in the past.
This wasn’t some rare bottle of wine or luxury perfume I was trying to negotiate as a carry on. This was deeply personal. This was my son’s health and nourishment. This was the money I would now need to spend buying formula that wasn’t necessary. This wasn’t tomorrow’s milk; it was two weeks worth of nutrition for my child. And it was the countless hours of my time, my energy, even my dignity in some instances, all driven by my willingness to go to any length to get my child what he needs that you dumped into the trash like a random bottle of travel shampoo and deemed a hazard, simply because I made the completely logical and scientifically supported assumption that a solid isn’t a liquid. And your absolute unwillingness to use professional judgment and customer service to make a reasonable exception in the face of equally reasonable circumstances is shameful.
If I acted irate, it’s because it was the only appropriate reaction I could muster. I now don’t have the option to solely breastfeed my son because I don’t have enough milk to supply him while I’m at work, despite all of my best efforts. Being a working mother and ensuring both my job and my child get exactly what they need is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but you managed to make it nearly impossible in a single afternoon. Security is the priority, but it isn’t and shouldn’t be your only goal, and it certainly shouldn’t punish those you intend to protect. Beyond literally taking food from my child’s mouth, you humiliated me and made me feel completely defeated as a professional and a mother. I hope the next time you encounter another mom just trying to make it work and looking for a little help along the way, you consult your conscience (as well as a physical science textbook) and reconsider your options.
Although i find this very difficult to believe this is a Taboo.
But to even think of putting this up on line it's a very dumb idea
The
Federal Government will require about N2 trillion to complete no new
fewer than 226 ongoing road projects across the country.
The Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola
made the disclosure in Lagos while speaking at a Town Hall meeting
organized to brief the public on the activities of the government in the
last 11months.
He, however, said the total amount
allocated to all the sectors under his ministry in the 2016 budget was
less than N500billion,stressing that the government did not have enough
resources to complete all the projects at present.
Fashola added that the focus of the government for now would be to complete some of the projects and not to undertake new ones.
Fashola added that the focus of the government for now would be to complete some of the projects and not to undertake new ones.
The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing proposed N423billion at the Federal Executive Council and the information reaching us is that we are not going to get all that .
Ongoing road projects alone awarded by the government before we came– about 266 roads awarded in the various states– the liability to complete them is about N2trillion.
So, when you look at N400billion,you know that that that is not enough, but when you compare what this administration is going to do with the N400billion, with what the last administration did,you will know it is much progress.
What the last administration did was to budget N18billion for all the roads in the country, knowing the liability was in excess of N2trilion.
For the three sectors,that is Works,Housing and Power, the total budget by the last administration was N24.5billion.So ,this administration decided to move away from that and that is why we have a figure that may not be enough, but substantial for the sectors“he said.
In the power sector,the minister said
though there were many challenges facing the sector, the government will
do everything possible to fulfill its promise to revamp it.
According
to Fashola, the 5,000 megawatts the country was generating was
inadequate and explained that the government was completing some ongoing
power projects and and taking other steps to boost generation.
On electricity metering, Fashola said
his ministry was engaging the distribution companies to ensure that they
distribute metres to households.
He said it was through metering that
consumers could be appropriately charged and that power companies
themselves could block revenue leakages
The minister revealed the government is
designing a housing model for the country that would not only take care
the problem of affordability but also take into consideration cultural
suitability in every part of the nation.
