STOP KILLING US: Alumnus Cries out to UNILORIN.



When I was in 300L, UNILORIN, my hostel got robbed. The assailants hacked a girl with a cutlass on her cheek bone, very close to her eye. She was cooking when the attack happened & had a short skirt and tank top on. It was her distress call that brought me out. I took her to the school clinic. We got to the gate and we got delayed by the guards.

They kept on asking for ID Card. I had my purse & my card was in it. But the girl was bleeding out, barely holding in place. I had to BEG for them to let us in. It was a mess. We got to the clinic &
instead of them giving DY first Aid, they started asking us why she wasn't with her ID Card. Why she was not properly dressed. DY was bleeding out.

I tried calling LukmanShobowale who was the SU President then but he was unreachable. I called BodeWrites & he told me Eminent wasn't around. I wanted to call other SU excos but at that point it would be stupid. DY was still bleeding and she was getting light headed. There wasn't time to waste. We begged for her to be treated. It wasn't even the time for protests. We begged for her to be saved. It was towards the end of the session.


DY's laptop containing her final year project, money she just withdrew for her church & project, her android phone, and her purse were just stolen. We had to explain everything, promise them DY wasn't a bad girl for wearing Tanktop & skirt in her kitchen. Before they finally agreed to treat her.

The next session, Reedof001 was the SU President, and at the Press Conference he organized, the Students Affairs Unit, and the Clinic Director were there. I narrated everything that happened. Emphasised on the need to save lives first over asking for ID Cards. The Clinic Director said they had a limited budget, & they had to be responsible with how they used resources. The SAU buttressed this by saying they can't spend medical bills on people who are not their students (she was not with her ID card because it was in her robbed purse).


They also said as a Student of the Uni, you had to abide by the rules at all times. I was dumbfounded. Rules and budgets over a person bleeding to death? It was shocking. And the crowd went wild in protest. Then they had the mic taken from me and went ahead to answer some other questions which were ego massaging. The Director returned to the question & said the Clinic was going to start attending to people with ID Cards in place of Clinic Card, but they didn't say anything about emergency situations like DY's. It was sad. It was painful. And it was evident that this wasn't going to be the last time. When I heard about the incidence that happened this week, I was sad, but in some way, I expected incidences like this to occur. If a medical facility placed premium on dressing & ID card then accidental deaths are bound to happen. Doctors swore oaths to protect lives. But the 'system' in UNILORIN rumples that oath, and spits on it. If this system isn't mended, we are not done dying. & no lame excuses will wash the blood off the University's hands.

STOP KILLING US

    Hmmmmmmmmmm
    So sad. Proper orientation should be given to our youth as regards. Also, schooling doesn't determine ones success in life. What is most important to have is education. Please it is high we distinguished between both. My view

Russia 2018: Nigeria releases 30-man provisional squad; Simy, Lokosa make list

The Super Eagles’ manager, Gernot Rohr, has released his 30-man provisional list for the Russia 2018 World Cup. The list released on Monday included two surprises – Junior Lokosa, who has scored 18 goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League, and Simeon [Simy] Nwankwo, who scored five goals for Italian Serie A side, Crotone, in April. From the angle he has operated since his tenure kicked off 21 months ago, the inclusions were a major surprise, as one thing about the former Bayern Munich defender is consistency. However, the main question answered by Rohr’s list was the exclusion of Vincent Enyeama. There have been continuous calls that the 35-year-old be invited as he seemed the most viable option between the sticks but the counter argument has been that the Eagles should not repeat the Peter Rufai mistake of 1998. Rohr has often stated that he is more interested in building for the future than retracing his steps. And on the issue of goalkeeping, he said he would ...
