Day 2 of Asuu protest

Today 5th of may, University of benin student continue their protest, and it was peaceful, although at first, I taught it wasnt going to be due to the location of the protest. All student were to meet at maingate front of our school, then we will move to Government house, which is in Ring road,

Ring road is a very busy area, where things happen, you find both the good, bad and ugly set of people there, Ring road is a place where agberos boy (bad gang) base or stay, it lead to different destination like ; upper, sakponba, airpot road, G.R.A, third, etc. And also it is the center of Benin, although we went there to protest yesterday, but the reason why we were scared to go there today, was because some group of student who based in ring road area heard some news that those agberos boy might end up destorying the protest, that wont be of any good to us, the protest might be hijack, so we were delibrating on what to do, if we should just hold the protest in front of the school or go to Ring road, after deliberating the excos and the leaders of the protest said we should go to ring road, that we will have more impact over there, since it where the Government office. On getting to Ring road, we were surprised to see police men on grand always, they were there to endure that the protest was peaceful, and it was peaceful indeed, some student where interview, and also the government came out to address us.

Indeed the protest is really going a long well, although alot of people are been affected due to the protest, especially old people, even children self, the protest often lead to blockage of road, so alot of people will have to suffer for it, we just pray that FG and Asuu resolve the issue on ground.

Tomorrow is another day, although some delibration is been carried out to know if the protest will continue tomorrow, due to the fact that jamb examination will be commencing tomorrow, to some extent we are still looking out for the jambite, because if they write their jamb now, they might still end up facing the same issue we are facing (strike issues) and beside they are 100 level student in the university who is yet to enter 200 level, and also school has given admission to new set of people, and they are yet to resume due to the strike issue, so if definitely this year jambite write their jamb, they will still need to wait for the first two set before they start thinking of processing their admission.

I just pray that they call off the strike, student are the one is paying for the sin we didnt commit all because Federal Government refused to settle Asuu.
