In recent years, since the Great IFE Students’ Union reinstatement in 2021, I do not know how politically conscious you are. Probably, you would observe a phenomenon which has become a baton passed from one descendant to another. If caution is not taken, who knows if it might result in a contagious virus like Ebola and COVID-19?
If you are ‘COMING’— as an aspirant vying for the Students’ Union, Office of the Director of Socials, just ensure you ‘COME‘ as a money bag, cause Small Doctor don talk ham and O.B.O don reiterate sey If you no get money, hide your face. And if you are still doubting me, go and ask Omo Alhaji, Coweb and ASAP.
Fact Check: OAU Management Made False Claim About Arrest of Students During Wike’s Visit
To be frank with you, becoming one of the contenders for this position demands you pump lots of kudi into your campaign, make OAU student populace nod their heads in approval and say ‘Hum-hum…, this one nah SINZU spending.’ You still think that is a lie? Go and ask Gorgeous “wey no later shine” despite vying for the position two consecutive times. What a pity for the poor girl!— despite showcasing some worthwhile years of experience in the social circle.
Are you even aware of the contemporary ‘social structure‘ which also determines “who gets what” in the office? They are the godfathers who play a formidable role in endorsing who will rise to the position and even go so far as to fund your campaign, in exchange for ‘handsome deals’. Go and ask ASAP, he is a benefactor. He will tell you more.
Promises vs. Performance: Tracking the SU President, Dr Bush’s Success in Office
Even the Gen Z student populace cannot help themselves as they get intoxicated with the influence of SINZU money that grossly soaks the campaign. Anyway, it is not by the highest bidder, but godfathers that constitute the ‘social structure’ who are the critical deciders.
However, as Great Ife students prepare to go to the poll again, who knows if all these might eventually play out? Whatever might finally be the case, eyes are set on this circle and therefore, should let the poor breathe!
