February 6 protest: Rusticated UNILAG student says 2face Idibia is joking

Music icon 2face Idibia will lead a protest against bad governance on February 6.

Many Nigerians have expressed willingness to stand with 2face. Some, however, questioned his motive.

Femi Adeyeye who was suspended for criticising University of Lagos (UNILA) authorities has something to say on the planned mass action.

He implied it’s a joke.

“Sanyeri” is the screen name of popular Yoruba comedian Olaniyi Afonja.

Adeyeye said he will be part of another protest, also on February 6, in Ogun State.

The protest is being organized by student bodies in Tai Solarin (TASUED) Students’ Union, and those affiliated to the National Universities Education Students’ Association (NUESA), and the Alliance of Nigerian Students against Neoliberal Attacks (ANSA).

“We take exception to the illegal and arbitrary tax of N10,000 imposed on students (in TASUED) and we reject in totality, the increment in acceptance fee from N30, 000 to N40, 000,” ANSA said in a statement.

“The coalition maintains an outright rejection of the introduction of N25,000 registration fee; we consider it as fraudulent, thoughtless and unacceptable especially at the time the same students and their unpaid parents barely manage to pay the exorbitant N76,500 school fees, astronomical acceptance fee and many other ridiculous charges.”
