I noticed an organized student movement practically targeted at the Nigerian government for the killing of their fellow students around the country. In my chat with Hon Samuel he was able to put more light on the purpose of their movement.
Slucker: Can You Kindly Tell Us About Yourself?
Hon Samuel: My name is Samuel S. Ejiwunmi, I'm a student of Mass Communication, University of Lagos, with specialization in Public relations and Advertisement , I'm also a public commentator on issues that affect humanity both locally and internationally.
Slucker: As a representative of this Campaign against the UNIPORT student murder, what are the mandates you want the government to meet?
Hon Samuel: Our demands are simple, "Let Justice prevail", Bring everyone that is supposed to be accountable to book, we are living in a system of government, therefore there should be respect for the rule of law and constitutionalism, no one should be able to slap the law in the face in such manner and walk away Scott free. We are saying that the government should step into action as soon as possible so that the people can still have trust in them, else people will seek an alternate means to justice and believe me, that's the beginning of anarchy.
Slucker: What ways and medium would you like for the Nigerian youths to encourage and support your movement?
Hon Samuel: The new form of protest is no longer just physical, The Arab spring was physical, but the Egypt protest succeeded via the social platform and internet, we want Nigerian youths to continue to use the social platform and internet to raise awareness and sensitize the international community to the plight of Nigerians, there are a lot of things going on in this country that no one is talking about and that no one will talk about if we don't talk about it. so it is high time that we took the bull by the horn and use the internet and social media and our blackberry phones to request for accountability from the government.
Slucker: How can we prevent this type of issue from happening again?
Hon Samuel: The only way we can prevent this from happening again is by ensuring that the Aluu killing is not swept under the carpet, when heads roll over this, others will take caution in the future when the idea of taking justice into their hands come into their minds, except we do that, then we are merely sitting on a time bomb and waiting just another disaster to happen, and next time might be far worse from what we have just seen
Slucker: Any message to the victims parents and the Nigerian youths?
Hon Samuel: There is no word that will heal the heart of the parents of these young men that have been cut short in their prime, we can only pray that the good Lord give them a heart to see higher calling in life, because this is an irreplaceable loss, and to every Nigerian Youth out there, our future is in our hands, lets all collectively speak out against injustice and evil even in our local communities and classrooms and homes and by so doing we can secure for ourselves a safe future.
Slucker: Thank you very much for your time
Hon Samuel: Thank you too and You are welcome
