The Hope Of Misjudgment: The Case Of University Of Ghana, Legon

Never in the history of University of Ghana has there be a great favor for justice and agitation for the repair of the bad system than now.

In the 1952 when the first demonstration was staged in the University of Ghana by the then occupants of the Legon hall, it was over an issue that today, we will have to throw into the dustbin of triviality. The then students of Legon hall upon realizing that the authorities have rechanneled the funds meant for the building of a dining to the building of a chapel deemed this worthy of demonstration and this sparked the first demonstration dubbed, “NO BREAD NO HALLELUYA”.

We are very disappointed in the way people are seeing the impending “YEN SU BIOM” demonstration within the spectacle of NDC and NPP. We have always believed that students can jump from this useless and nonsense pettiness which has so much entangled the students' front blocking improvement and ushering us into the deep pit of cowardice and shamefulness.

It is nonsense to hear from the authorities that some students have tagged us as some disgruntled NPP activists trying to demand their pound of flesh from the NDC government.

In our bid to uphold the dictates of our national constitution and the university regulations guiding Junior members like all students we notify the Dean of Students with a copy to the Registrar but the Dean with the dictates of the rules has denied us the procession based on “God knows reasons”.

By this release, we are entreating all students that, the sanctions that the authorities have leveled against us because we plan on embarking on the procession cannot break our genes and we shall chest all bullets and sanctions from whatever quarters it may come from.

We have always been FIERCE; we have always believed in URGENCY; and we have always attached the spirit of NOW! That is why we shall always say THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW!
