 The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Joint Campus Council (JCC), Osun State, under the leadership of Comrade Solomon Ayobami Abel, strongly condemns the continuous exploitation of students by house agents across the state. It is disheartening to witness a society where students, who were once respected and supported at every level of education, are now being exploited by those who once benefited freely from the system. It is unacceptable that these same individuals now engage in exploitative practices, especially targeting young students trying to secure accommodation. We have encountered numerous cases where a single apartment is deceitfully allocated to multiple tenants. We have also received reports of students being harassed and threatened by agents and landlords, even after making full payment for rent and associated fees. As representatives of the students, we are deeply pained by these injustices, and we can no longer remain silent while t...

 By Comrade Ajibade Kehinde Daniel,  It is with utmost disappointment and patriotic concern that I condemn, in the strongest of terms, the divisive and self-serving actions of one Isa Atiku, who has shamelessly attempted to factionalize the revered National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) by parading himself falsely as a representative of Nigerian students. Let it be stated unequivocally that Isa Atiku is alien to the students' movement. He holds no legitimacy within our noble association and his reckless antics represent a direct assault on the unity, sanctity, and institutional memory of NANS. His so called "leadership" is nothing but a facade driven by a selfish political will to cash out from desperate politicians looking for rented crowds and fictitious endorsements. We strongly warn that any government institution, political figure, or corporate body that patronizes Isa Atiku does so at their own peril. Such associations are invalid, illegitimate, and catego...

 Heartfelt condolences on the Tragic Loss of our Dear student. It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences to the management of Osun State University (Uniosun), families, friends, and loved ones of the students who were involved in the tragic motor accident. The loss of these bright and promising young lives is truly devastating, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident.

  By Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq. I woke up this morning with a heavy heart, thinking that the Nigerian people deserve leaders who embody honor, integrity, and moral responsibility. Sadly, such leadership seems increasingly elusive. Our leaders must understand that public office is a privilege—not a shield against scrutiny. In recent days, the National Assembly has been engulfed in a scandal of monumental proportions, implicating none other than the Senate’s top figure—the Senate President. A grave allegation of sexual harassment was brought against him by his female colleague, Senator Natasha. This is not merely a personal controversy; it is a national disgrace and an embarrassment to us all. The Senate President had referenced a nightclub while addressing Senator Natasha—a remark she found insulting—which ultimately prompted her to speak out about her ordeal in the hallowed chambers. Rather than addressing this serious allegation, the Senate, in a move witnessed by a global audience,...
