 COOU IGBARIAM CAMPUS, DEATH TOO MANY by Last Born Mpa Nnukwu.

My heart is heavy, my strength left me and tears suffocating me as I heard the news of many students that died at IGBARIAM campus of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) this outgoing weekend.

Some Moons ago, there were two accidents that took 2 Lives of students of the school, then the School liasing with  relevant Ministries erected Bumps along the Road, but our investigation provides that the Bumps weren’t enough.

Moreso, that is school environment, certain preventive measures shall be implemented, including good Speed breakers, Bumps at every 2 Poles, then Barriers to discourage certain Articulate Vehicles from using the road as many of the Articulated Vehicles has issues with Breaks and most of the Drivers are Menace loaded with some local Junk they ingested or smoke, which they think makes them High but in reality it makes them monsters who cares not on how many accidents they caused, as they look at smaller Vehicles and KEKE as Ants to be crushed. 

Friday recorded or should I say started the mystical accidents that took  away life's from innocent students of the School along that Road.

So far 5 death have been recorded, but mostly from Okada incidents ...

The investigation provides that the insane Riders of the Bike ran at outrageous speed because the Road is in good condition, and getting to the Bumps, they tries to meander through the ends where the bumps did not cover, so a little miscalculation crashes the Bike and end life, especially of students.

Then in the cause of this accidents, some Audio were sent out trying to rest the deaths as mystics, especially one that said it has to do with the death of Traditional ruler of IGBARIAM, so we dug deep and discovered that the Igwe of IGBARIAM HRH Kelly Kelly is alive and healthy, meaning that  the legend associating the Deaths to Rituals or mystics are simply from mischief creators. 

We dug far deeper than usual and discovered that ANSU  refused to join ASUU who are on strike thereby keeping students at home and prolonging the academic Calendar of schools and extending the duration students will stay in school. 

The none compliance or inclusion of COOU into the ASUU Fraternity is raising bad blood, then members of ASUU within COOU are not finding it funny, especially the lecturers in COOU who are members of ASUU, so the stories of mystical involvement were planted to provoke students, so they can riot and get the School closed down, a move that can aide the ill wishes of some evil doers and can't benefit the students nor the school, little wonder an expression provides "Okwobe ekwobe, obalu Ndi aghugho" (When it rages, the tricksters benefits) .

The VC of COOU has being in consultation and continual communication with Commissioner for Education and Commissioner for Works on this incidents, they have being brainstorming on his to place it on a byegone status, they agreed to meet today (Monday ) morning at the school gate to find a lasting solution to the accidents and to bring a solution called OZOEMEZINA..

On that Note, may we recommend as followed..

1) That state Government should Ban OKADA on that Road and axis, as the Bumps placed to check mate it, is not doing enough.

Okada helps to move faster, get to destination on time , but brings more death than Solution. 

2)That the School should encourage more Shuttle Buses, if they can't sponsor such, they liase with Transport owners or ROAD TRANSPORT WORKERS to designate enough Shuttles and KEKE, because the austerity of Buses and Keke push many students to choose Bike to enable them be at lectures on time.

3) School should have a functional MEDICAL CENTER, for my investigation takes me to COOU MEDICAL CAMPUS at ULI, lo and behold, the Medical Center of the School opens by 10 am and closes by 3 Pm as if sickness and emergency restrict time of casualties.

If future Medical students can be trained under such Lack Lustre, non performance Centers, it simply means they will put such into practice on graduation.. 

The VC or high powered delegates should visit the health Center late evening or early morning unannounced to see what I have witnessed severally or designate some whatsapp Number where Students can send Video evidence of non compliance to the hireachy of the school. 

4)If the School can't manage the School Medical, they can hand it over to Profesional who will run it round the clock and save lives.

So far the School authority are picking up bills of the wounded and also the demised, but they should do more by making sure that School Medical are in Top gear.

Finally, I will advise the VC OF COOU Prof Greg Nwakobi to recruit Lecturers who are ready to work and let the ASUU renegades continue with the strike.. Outside COOU, that way COOU will continue the March into High Heaven.

Students should be mindful of naysayers who were contracted to cause frictions in the school so that the ongoing school Calender will be stalled like other schools just to benefit ASUU members and not Students or parents. 

All Flags in COOU will fly at half Mast today in respect of the death, but as parents, guidian, we pray never to see Flags fly at half mast again. 

The text that is suppose to be written this week has being postponed as well as respect to the Students who died as reported. 

We assume that the Governor should show some commitment by visiting the school and personally get to handle the problems that results to deaths, unless he think that the deaths and living students are not worth his time.
