Students at Ondo College of Health shut down the campus with bonfires, protesting extortion and lack of basic amenities in a cry for dignity.

The patience of Nigeria’s youth has snapped. In a scene reminiscent of Kenya’s own university struggles, students at the Ondo State College of Health Technology have shut down their campus, declaring war on institutional rot.
As early as 7:00 AM, the institution’s main gates were barricaded. Thick black smoke from burning tyres choked the morning air as hundreds of students chanted songs of solidarity. Their message was crude, direct, and heartbreakingly honest: "We Are Tired of This Wickedness."
The protest is not just about fees; it is a rebellion against squalor. Student leaders paint a picture of an institution that has collapsed in all but name:
The situation in Ondo mirrors the crisis in Kenyan higher education, where delayed HELB disbursements and rotting hostels have pushed comrades to the brink. It is a story of a generation asked to pay more for less, educated in crumbling halls by administrators who see them as cash cows rather than the future.
While Provost Emoruwa Oluwanbe has denied the allegations, the visual evidence of the protest speaks louder. When students prioritize buying petrol for bonfires over buying food, it is a sign that the social contract is broken. The youth of Africa are demanding dignity, and they are no longer asking politely.
