How do we know a peaceful community that loves to see the growth and well-being of its fellow human beings? How can we build a society where "united we stand, divided we fall"? 

The Great Ife community experiences a gloomy atmosphere when one of its own, Miss Mutimainah Oladosu, is diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at Abuad Multi-System Hospital. She is a 200-level law student at Obafemi Awolowo University, "who has been ill for about a year," according to Yusuf Mathew Oluwarotimi, a 300-level law student and the Public Liaison Officer (PLO) of the class.


Subsequently, an effort to raise funds to support Miss Mutimainah has given rise to a movement among the 200-level law students as a whole. According to Yusuf Oluwarotimi, "the movement was the initiative of the entire sui generis part 2 law students." The movement was created to raise awareness and garner support from the entire Great Ife community for one of our own, Mutmainah Oladosu, who is currently suffering from acute kidney injury.
In the course of an interview with Icons Organization, Yusuf highlighted that the movement, titled "The Awareness Walk - #SaveMutimainah," was not initiated by organisations, institutions, or societies, but rather by her fellow colleagues with the support of the Public Liaison Officer (PLO). When asked about the targeted amount and how much has been raised so far, he stated that the medical fee for the kidney transplant is 40 million naira; however, 3 million naira has been raised.

Most importantly, the goal of the movement is to secure endorsements from various institutions on campus. The Public Liaison Officer (PLO) of the movement, Yusuf Mathew Oluwarotimi, expressed, "The family and close acquaintances have done everything within their power, but it has not been enough. We plead with the public to assist us by contributing to this cause. Mutmainah is a promising star who deserves a chance to live and unleash the greatness that is embedded within her."

The account details of the bank money is being paid to:

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

SPECIAL REPORT: Inside UI and OAU Public Hostels

By The Icons Organization and Indy Press  For Deborah, a 100-level student and resident of Obafemi Awolowo Hall of residence, University of Ibadan, staying in her hall of residence was a choice she made because she was in her first year of study. She believed this choice was the safest way to get familiar with the school and its environment. Posi, another student, on the other hand, resides in a school hostel due to proximity. “I stay in Obafemi Awolowo Hall of Residence because of its proximity to classes; the fact that it is cheaper, it is less stressful than house hunting, and much safer than staying outside school,” Posi explained.  Posi's reason for staying in Obafemi Awolowo Hall is the same as that of many students who find themselves in public hostels — it is often cheaper and closer to school. This goes to show just how important hostel accommodation is for students in any university, as it affects both their academics and overall wellbeing.  Unfortun...
