MEET OUR DEMON OF THE WEEK

By Cee Jay

This is our hero of the week. 

And our demon of the week is the Management and Governing Council of University of Ilorin.

Sometimes, you have to admit that our society is very sick. It is so sick that what drives our choice of cause to fight is just emotions and whatever those who drive narratives online decide is right or wrong.

You only need to read the thread on trending news posts to realize that many people online need urgent overhaul.

This lovely hero beat his teacher. He beat a defenceless woman. He raised his masculine hands and beat a woman, again and again. He beat a woman again and again until she passed out. She could have died.

What did she do? She refused to give him a pass for work he didn't do at all. He was, according to him, wrongly detained by police for an incident that happened away from the campus and in which the university had no hand and had no report of and had made no concessions for him. 

Some of us feel she should have screwed the processes and given him a score for SIWES he did not participate it. The same us who complain about malpractice and falling standards. The same us who claim that corruption is killing the country. The same us who frown at immorality.

We are the same that blame the lecturer. Some say she threw a mug at him. They already believe his account without hearing from the other party. Some see hm as a hero because HE SAID that he was detained for just peeing near a crime scene. We believe totally because he said.

Anyway, the NBA will rise to defend Justice Odili. Police will rise to defend Kyari, Fulani people will rise to defend Pantani, just as Igbo leading figures will rise to defend IPOB. ASUU needs to defend their own, whether UNILORIN has an active chapter or not.

Left to me, he needs to spend time in jail for aggravated assault, battery, lol attempted murder. 

Some of us do not know that the punishment for two students fighting is expulsion. Not to talk about someone beating a female lecturer.
