You do not represent Nigerian students. You represent whoever put that cap on your head. Nigerian students are not blind to what you are, and history will not be kind to those who traded the welfare of millions for personal access to power.
NANS Has Become a Disgrace to Nigerian Students
There is something insulting about watching the President of the so called National Association of Nigerian Students stand before cameras, donning an APC-branded cap, and singing praises of an administration that has made student life unbearable. It is not even surprising. It is, exactly what we expect from an association that has long abandoned its mandate and surrendered its soul to political paymasters.
When a student leader speaks in glowing terms about a government while wearing the ruling party's colours, he is not speaking for students. He is speaking for whoever funded his trip, his cap, and definitely, his position.
This is the face of the modern NANS, a political errand boy dressed in student clothing.
"We the Nigerian Students have never had it so good like the way we have it under President Tinubu."
LEMAAOOO!! This isn't just laughable, it is a deliberate slap in the face of every student struggling to survive in this country today. Let us examine the reality these leaders are too comfortable to acknowledge:
1. Tuition fees have skyrocketed. Universities across Nigeria have implemented massive fee hikes, with some institutions multiplying their charges severalfold — all under the banner of "go and collect NELFUND." Students are being pushed into a debt cycle before they even enter the labour market, a market that has nothing to offer them anyway. NELFUND, rather than being a genuine relief, has become a convenient justification for the systematic defunding of public education.
2. Education subsidies have been gutted. The removal of subsidies has transferred the full burden of education costs onto families already crushed by inflation, a collapsed naira, and the devastating aftermath of fuel subsidy removal. A student's parent who used to spend a manageable amount per session is now spending multiples of that — if they can at all.
3. Students cannot afford basic necessities. Food costs have doubled and tripled. Accommodation, once a basic student right, is now a luxury. Hostel fees have risen beyond the reach of many. Those who manage to secure a room off-campus face electricity bills that consume whatever little they have. Students are going to bed hungry in a country whose government officials cannot stop celebrating their own achievements.
4. Kidnapping, insecurity, and violence are ravaging campuses and the roads students travel. Nigerian students are being abducted. Some are killed. Lives are destroyed. And from NANS? Silence. Not a press release. Not a protest. Not a candle. Nothing. Because their paymasters do not fund statements that embarrass the administration.
5. NANS has not produced a single meaningful initiative in over a decade. No credible welfare programme. No legal advocacy. No successful push for student representation in policy-making. They do not negotiate for students, they negotiate with politicians, for themselves. They show up at rallies, issue endorsements, and collect the rewards. The association has become a conveyor belt for political patronage, recycling compromised leadership every cycle.
The tragedy is that NANS was once feared. It was once a voice. Under genuine student leaders, it shut down governments, forced policy reversals, and made those in power remember that the youth of this country were watching. That NANS is dead. What remains is a hollow shell, a group of political foot soldiers who wear student identity as a costume when it suits their ambitions.
In a way, I still think NANS has not fallen, it was sold. And the receipt is that APC cap.

I created a new page where you can find videos of 2023 APC election violence. It’s important you listen, download and share the audio at the top of the page. Share it everywhere on WhatsApp.
A govt that kills its people does not deserve to rule us:

Btw, people need to get serious and avoid unnecessary distractions because I genuinely don't understand why anyone would want Peter Obi to get Chess board from Tunde.
How is that going to help him win election? People need to learn to stay focused on important things.
Because this nonsense end up watering down important conversations and easily distract everyone from talking about pressing issues.

For all the perceived imperfections of Celebration Church, pray for us.
We are trying our best
I’d like to think that it will matter more to every true Jesus lover that we are getting the most important things right;
- Teachings are strictly Christ centered
- Members love each other
- People are truly knowing Jesus better and excited about the gospel.
Part of our mission statement as a church is to disciple people excited about God, His message, and His church. I’m glad we’re achieving that.
I could also argue that it is a huge testimony that you can tell our members just by their tweets. For even when Peter tried to keep his anonymity, it was said:
"Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you." Matt 26:73. (See also Acts 4:13, 11:26)
The problem is that a brand of Church where you keep your anonymity and ideologies has been popularized. That brand of Church where the only thing that ties you to the Church is that you actually attend. So when people see Church done in a way I’d argue to be the Bible way, they have an issue with it.
The word Church (grk- ecclesia) literally means ‘called out’ gathering.
Faith in Jesus calls you out and into a community of saints.
It is impossible to do Church the Bible way without, in some sense, losing your ‘individuality’.
This doesn’t mean you can no longer think for yourself. It simply means that you begin to think biblically and have a Christian world view.
And guess what? A group of people who share the same ideology, mission and fellowship may seem cult-like to you.
This is exactly why unbelievers coined the name Christian to describe a behavioral pattern and excitement of a group of people identified with Christ. The name Christian was originally derogatory.
Issues of people crossing the line in admiration isn’t new either.
“As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I myself am also a man." Acts 10:25-26.
(see also Acts 14:11-15).
I could argue that a Church that doesn’t have to deal with this might be doing things the wrong way.
Just like Peter and the early saints, God will help us to continue to help people never to cross the line.
But trying to constantly shame people for being excited about their Church and Pastor is unkind.
Sometimes the motives also seem suspect. Why Celebration Church? Which Church more than ten thousand members strong doesn’t share these attributes?
Being excited about your Church is not idolatry
Being excited about your Pastor is not idolatry.
(Paul literally said: “Be imitators of me as I am of Christ” 1 Cor. 11:1)
Placing anything or anyone above God is idolatry.
Being grateful for someone who helped you get closer to God isn’t.
If all of these still seem too much for you, please find a Church that works better for you.
It’s one thing to not understand or to even dislike our excitement. But to constantly try to pick on people for it seems suspect to me.
Ultimately, God has our score card. He sees all and will judge all.

Let us not deviate from the main issue here. Amupitan must resign as the @inecnigeria chairman.
