It’s quite unreasonable to take a chance on the lives of students as a result of personal gains. It is a customary practice that most state associations on the soil of UDUS, in a bid to cater to the welfare of its citizens, organize vehicles that will convey them home.
Surprisingly, all in the flag of students’ interest, these associations are competing with transport prices, waiting and spying on others’ prices before they can decide their own. Indeed, the objectives have turned to business. Student welfare should be beyond personal gains and unrealistic market competition.
Similarly, it has been observed that some unregistered individuals joined in competing in the transit marketplace. I see this pretty stop to stop the extortion that pervades the scheme every semester. Prior to this time, the transportation market was less competitive and allowed state associations to exploit their subjects.
We take vehicles to and from home at exorbitant prices. However, as much as it helps in telling these state associations how to devour their subjects’ fat bones, it doesn’t change the fact that it is an illegal transit.
God forbid. Take for instance, if anything happens to the students in the transit, who will bear the consequences? This quietly shows that these individuals are….but a moon that shares from the brightness of the associations’ sun. If I were the state leaders, I would petition them.
Furthermore, an association is restricted to carry out only its members’ responsibilities, not an indigene of another state. In my view, since the school will only ask you to account for your subjects, I see no reason why you need to interfere in the affairs of another state.
It’s so unbridled for one state association to organize transit for more than its subject just because its route is the same, to feed its hungry pockets. The Aluta of an Association is to clamor for “Student safety,” but the Aluta is no longer ringing because the association is vying for its pocket.
Reducing your price can’t make you an angel, let the respective student’s state association convey its indigene. And to the overnight individual transporters, this is not to support anyone, your actions are illegal.
Qouting Yoruba saying, “ Akìi ti ojú eníka mésàan kà.” Also, “Tí ará ilé eni bán je kòkòrò burúkú…” Sorry if you don’t speak my language but illegality doesn’t have a second name. To those who have ears, let them hear. Let the toddler walk before you turn him into a cripple, and allow each association bears the responsibility and welfare of its indigene. Peace.
