BREAKING MY SILENCE;
NANS AND ITS STRATEGIC STOMACH RESTRUCTURING
Few weeks ago some unscrupulous element and disgruntled
oldies in the name and disguise of the National Association of Nigerian Students
were busy distributing a rather seeming shameless award to some sycophantic
leaders of theirs all in the name of merit and the end result is not unknown to
some who have been active players for years appointment or getting the cash.
Initially I intend keeping mum but in the face of tyranny and one still adopt the
option of keeping mute then posterity will never forgive such individual who
has the means of belittling the hazardous act of some few microscopic
individuals to taint the image of the vast population of the youths, which
makes it important to break my silence on the disdainful act embark upon by the
leaders of Nans.
Objectively Nans metamorphose from the well structured and
willing West African Student Union to National Union of Nigerian Students to
what we today refer to as National Association of Nigerian Students. Its
formation was to strive for justice, equality and fight for the right of the
timid population of the Nigerian students in the light of any intimidation.
Nans as it is fondly called as over the years depicts its shallowness, greed
and act of desperacy at the expense of the original students who are entitled
to the post the self acclaimed students’ leaders occupy presently.
The composition of Nans should be students who are currently
running a programme and not school drop outs, touts and graduates. The essence
of the association is to engage the government of the day in constructive
debate as to its policies as it affects the education sector and all other
spheres of the economy, but the reverse is the case as our so called union
leaders embark on a voyage of award sharing. Which reasonable individuals will
give an award to a government that has refuse to bring back our girls, that has
refused to provide us with basic amenities to survive as citizens, there’s lack
of power, small scale business are not thriving, unemployment, lack of security
of life’s and property which is the main function of our government, our roads
are death traps, corruption is the order of the day, book haram strives daily,
our armies morale are down, our 20 billion dollars is still missing, cabinet
full of criminals and sycophants.
Our dear Nans should realize that the future they are toying
and joking with is not that of the unprivileged ones alone but that of the
entire nation as an injustice done today is threat to justice forever. while it
might not be too late to cleanse the
union of the rotten ones, because am sure there are few good ones too, the
totality of the real Nigerian students must be on the lookout in other to
salvage the situation themselves and that will only happen if there is active
participation.
Get involved today in deciding the next phase of your future
both ass Nigerian students, youth and a full fledge Nigerian citizen.
