The National Association of Nigerian Students(NANS) is the body saddled with the protection of Nigerian students' interest, this body has promoted failure and incompetence by awarding Dr. Jona with the Grand Commander of Nigerian Students award
Someone who has been spending exorbitant amount of money on his campaign to return in 2015, Imagine the outbreak of Ebola which has halt the resumption of Nigerian students at the primary and secondary school level and the incubus of Boko Haram,who declared a part of the North as a caliphate in the face of our self-acclaimed best Army on land in Africa even when the insurgence are combating them on land.
NANS in recent time has been a disgrace to the entire Nigerian students as it has been politicized beyond rationality. The students leaders enrich themselves as some earn as high as N500, 000 as salary for holding a position in NANS.
This body used to be a credible institution that fights against student oppression,commercilization of education amongst others,infact this body has received several free legal services from the likes of. Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Chief Alao Aka Bashorun during d time of military dictatorship due to the body's uprightness.
Alas! The body has now metamophorsized into an agency used by disgruntled politicians in settling scores among themselves, used for electoral malpractises and other forms of political violence
Imagine students being mobilized on campus on a campaign mission for a lecturer aspiring for a post in the forthcoming elections, come to think of it,if violence upsurge in the course and the mobilized student got injured who will bear the cross?
Is it the parents who have sent them to school to give them a meaningful life, the School Authority who have failed to enforce sanity by not maintaining the stated rules and regulations on campus, the student union government who have failed in their quest to protect the interest of the student due to their gullibity or the political ambitious lecturer who am sure would have had lesser time in attending to student now owing to the proximity of the 2015 elections.
Perhaps, a good example of decay in NANS is the current turmoil in the Ogun state axis of the body, the incursion of politicians into the activities of this body has in no small way erupted series of violence in the state, an example of the OOU,MAPOLY student clash. The state posseses two NANS. Chairmen one of which has the state recognition and the other with NANS national recoginition, what a disintegrated body! I shook my head in pity.
Disheartingly, those who are seen as the leaders of tomorrow are today being taught negative politics,they now possess an infested mind laden with corruption an embezzlement. The question begging for a reasonable answer now is, if those who are believed to be the leaders of tommorow are currently displaying their direct replication of the reigning "RULERS": who will safe this fast sinking NATION ?
