21 Years After, Again, Nadeco Jacob Pays Tribute to Late NANS President, Moses Oisakede, Others .
” A tribute to a dogged NANS President, Moses Oisakede .
Every first of September since 1999 brings to mind the death of Comrade Moses O. Oisakede and Livingston Kwanga who paid the supreme sacrifice of death on their way to Makurdi to present NANS position over the expulsion and rustication of over 100 student of University of Agriculture but he and Kwanga unfortunately met their death in an ghastly motor accident.
Thanks to God, we have survivors that have distinguished themselves in their various endeavors, Pharm. Agada V. Agada (who at that point on that day was bleeding all over his head), Kennedy Tabuko, Babatunde Oluwole Babalola Moneyin(Obeyz), and host of others but the question remains what legacies are we providing for our so cherished unborn generation???.
The state of the campuses keep deteriorating as a manifestation of a macrocosm of our larger economy called Nigeria; with a weak and dysfunctional sociopolitical and economic system while on the other hand corruption is maintaining a centre stage of our daily engagement; the need for a question on the state of the Nation becomes unequivocally inconsequential.
It becomes imperative that the ventriloquists whom we vehemently resisted in principles and ideology even right from when “Ali must go” have remained central to decisions of our nation’s motion while they have stunted it’s growth. They have finished eating the national cake and are now sharing even the table that was holding the cake .
Be reminded they had free education while they were served by potters that wore dove tail coats and even had free meal but in return they have handed over a dying educational system to us while their children are enjoying the best of education off the shores of our entity, Nigeria .
We must start demanding for accountability in the educational sector. Moses instituted Academic Reform struggle which was popularly known as ACAREF. What do we have now?.
Student leaders should cut down their political fraternity with politician and focus on their charter of demands with the view to achieving a more ebullient, focused and vibrant NANS but for those who are waiting for a leader with magic wand to change the system then you are in for an Isrealite’s Journey like Moses O. Oisakede would always say “we are out of Egypt, Jerusalem is still very far”.
