Peace Kayode is a 200 level student of Faculty of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University, and a victim of the nationwide closure of schools that resulted from the current global pandemic which has claimed over 300,000 lives. In this report, Peace Kayode and other students gave POLITICS NIGERIA a look into what things have been like for them in this pandemic.
The effect of Peace’s reality at home has been overpowering. “The implication of this is that I don’t have time for myself again, each time i arrive from farm I’m always tired. And if I don’t have time for myself again that means I lack freedom.” In Damilola’s department, students do a significant part of the teaching as a result of the unexplainable absence of some lecturers – an act which is not surprising to Nigerian students. For Damilola, the problem is that he finds it difficult to read at home for an examination that the system already made difficult.
Joshua Odeyemi is another student who is not enjoying this compulsory holiday. Joshua nicks some Nairas from him mum’s purse to stay online, where he keeps himself sane. In April, after the Minister of Education said that government was working with the leadership of universities to resume online classes, Academic Staff Union of University reacted by listing numerous reasons why online classes will be ineffective.
For people like Joshua, who nicks money from his mum’s purse to purchase data, what would an Online class look like?
