OAU students reportedly boo, stone Jonathan; call president ‘ole’

President Goodluck Jonathan got more than he bargained for on Friday during his visit to the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU).

The students who were apparently tired of Jonathan’s government could not hold back their anger as they stoned and booed the president chanting “Ole, Ole, Ole,Ole” which in Yoruba means thief.

Jonathan, who was at the OAU to attend a summit by a Yoruba group, had used the occasion to identify with the Yorubas as the 2015 general election approaches, praising the achievements of the Yoruba leaders in Nigerian history.



But the students of the university were not touched by his visit, as they displayed placards with inscription such as: “we are not responsible for Jonathan’s ineptitude”, “Don’t sell education like you sold electricity”, “We demand total reversal of 2014 hiked school fees” etc.
