FB reminded me that three years ago I was aspiring to be President of my Law Faculty - the 2nd female since the over 50 years of the faculty.

That journey taught me a lot. I didn’t win but I am still grateful for the lessons gained. The friends who stood when most decided to be
silent. That moment made this quote resonate well.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends”.

Over 3 years, I’ve forgotten the games the opposition played. I’ve also become friend with people who thought I shouldn’t be President
Some of outgrown the idea that women shouldn’t be President. But one thing that stuck was “friends” who decided to sit on the fence.

I look back at those days , and I remember how my then roommate Kaddie went all out. It felt it was her race. I am forever grateful for that show
of solidarity. And men like @AbassOyeyemi who stood by when the stakes and chances were low for a lady to be President, and friends who are truly friends @LawalMaryamTobi
And to Kehinde Demola who volunteered to do all graphics for free.

In summary if you’re too lazy to read the earlier thread.
I have been silent for too long!

1. BrymO through his manager Mr. Lanre Lawal collected a sum of two hundred thousand naira (₦200,000) as part payment for
a concert that was to hold on July 6, 2018.
2. The money was at no time designated as non-refundable as at the time it was paid into Mr. Lanre Lawal’s Guaranty Trust Bank Account.

3. That said sum paid into Mr. Lawal’s account was a consortium of sponsorship loans,
Sports Hall’s money, and personal funds of students who volunteered to help bring BrymO to Ife.

4. That BrymO and his team did not honor the agreement and defaulted on the agreement to perform on said date as well as on their promise to pick another date for the postponement.

Brymo and his manager defrauded myself and my team in 2018. We were just group of University student excited to create a good student experience for students.

I reached out to Lanre Lawal in his capacity as BrymO manager to secure his artist.

He asked for 1m but we were able
to slash it to 500k + hotel, food, transport, instrument . Sound was going to 400k.
We had more than 50 volunteers who were enthusiastic about making this event work. We reached out to sponsors.

UBA OAU agreed to buy a particular some of tickets for students. A company gave
Us Bitcoin worth 80k or thereabouts.

Lanre Lawal kept telling us to pay 200k upfront, and because the team was working day and night to make it happen.

I and some people contributed the 200k as upfront.

However, two days to the event, a major test was fixed for the next day

She was worried about her friend, Motunrayo @motun_special who was a student of international relations, OAU. Olabisi Olaleye, her
lecturer at the dept had told everyone to come to his office to check their results. On getting there, Motun realized she failed. Mr. Olaleye told her he will give her a good grade if she was ready to have sex with him. Motun declined. But Mr. Olaleye had his “perfect plan” - as
the lecturer in charge of examination timetable, he placed the course Motunrayo failed with a course in her 4th year on the same date and the same hour. Motunrayo was sad as that meant an extra year. She went ahead to meet with Olabisi Olaleye to reconsider the timetable.That was
