Students’ unionism has long practiced the ‘Baba Isale’ politics. The situation would change if it (Baba Isale politics) encouraged unionism or benefited young people who wanted to serve rather it exposed these young ones to cultism, vanity, and superfluous show-off despite the fact that it offered no particular benefit.
‘Baba Isale politics’ in this piece means the unnecessary interference of old students of a particular school to install their preferred candidate. These old students are either unemployed or non-dutifully ones who take pleasure or pride in interfering in campus or indigenous association politics.
It is no longer necessary for students to elect SUG candidates into offices. Before they can win elections, they think that they need the assistance of stakeholders (Baba Isale) who can connect them with cults and politicians.
The ambition or desire of these young ones to succeed is rudely exploited. The men are involved in a master-servant relationship while the women are used for emotional squabbles. Contestants depend on these stakeholders throughout the election process, from screening to manifesto to vote, which impedes the electoral process.
The student union movement is in danger of disintegrating. The market has been controlled by online scammers. In order to put presidents in charge of academic institutions, yahoo boys have actually formed a coalition. They also desire a say in the educational setting. They require a spokesperson to advocate on their behalf before the school administration.
A certain SUG president recently declared war on the campus police because they forbade the presence of any student-owned vehicles on school grounds. With signs in hand, this buddy and his yahoo pals demonstrated against the directive. They added a few sincere demands, but when the administration of the school complied with the major ones, they felt content.
Any anyone who has ever held any position of student leadership should be concerned about the situation of school unionism, which is on the decline. Because some people do not wish to go past the confines of a college, the fundamental purpose of unionization in higher institutions appears to have been defeated.
SUG presidents now drive fancy vehicles that they most likely obtained through fraud to impress women on campuses. They pay out these participants in order to keep quiet and let evil triumph.
Today, clowns and yahoo boys perform on the stage of the SUG president’s office. They subtly convey their demands through the office and hide their presence in the building. In order to win elections, they follow the lead of avaricious men (Baba Isale). They favor the name more than the connected works. Leadership roles are now taken by those who need to be changed. This is a sad and frustrating new low.
I once sounded the alarm over the entry of yahoo boys into positions of authority. Because they have stolen money to give to stakeholders who are in poverty and don’t work to appreciate the dignity that comes with money, I predicted that they would fill these positions. They have hardly spread after a year. They are found everywhere, including in native associations and school groups. Should we commend over-graduates for meddling in school elections?
They seem uninterested in developing themselves personally since they have enjoyed the adulation, respect, and prestige that come with being called a “leader” so much. As much as they have access to female students who are quickly turned on because certain aspects can yell, shout, or impede processes, they desire to always be there and to be addressed as stakeholders or leaders.
It should not be abused when leaders or stakeholders are given the opportunity to influence elections. They must oversee, but not direct, the process. They are intended to teach the young people moral lessons by preserving customs and refraining from giving rash orders or instructions. They must consciously take on the role of a neutral party that is motivated to create an even playing field for all competitors.
Regrettably, the majority of parties now negotiate or advance their interests through the union. To accomplish their shared objective, they present a wide range of concepts, whether absurd or not. They may not worry if their views defy accepted wisdom, defy logic, or defy good judgment. They merely desire the young people’s dread or compelled respect.
I have regrettably noticed that the majority of student unions are easily swayed by these stakeholders, who are either tools of oppressors or have personal interests in the matter. They casually violate traditions and pay little regard to any customs that can obstruct their goals.
Stakeholders who were supposed to defend the union from intruders or outside donors are becoming parasites that are eroding the union’s moral fiber.
These parties are sometimes referred to as “Baba-Isale.” The term “Baba Isale” is a godfather title. A recently-retired union official nonetheless considers oneself to be one. Those who stole money from the Union while they were in office prefer to be addressed as such. Graduates without work who are anxiously seeking employment prefer to be addressed as “Baba Isale.”
People who seek to utilize the union to bargain with politicians for political favor, financial security, or to make amends for past wrongs consider themselves to be godfathers as well. No recent graduate who is actively involved in a career or business has time to push the agenda of others.
True respect, however, can only be acquired by individual improvement. The restoration of school unionism is still possible with enough knowledge and training. On campuses, we require ideological classes.
For the restoration of unionism, students must get sincere training. They shouldn’t be kept in cages and trained for selfish ends. They ought to be able to distinguish between group and individual interests. If ideological classes exist, perceived stakeholders who view the union as a weapon against poverty or a means of systemic survival would not misuse the processes.
Those who have really profited from school unionism shouldn’t let it collapse. Being high does not need you to sit at a high table. They should fight to keep ideological classes and instill morality in the kids. Do not exacerbate the situation if, as a shareholder, you can positively contribute to the prosperity of the union. They must not be observed performing a hatchet job. They should always encourage fair play and push children to perform better.

Those who have reaped enormous benefits from school unionism should not allow it to collapse. Being tall can be attained without sitting at a high table. They should work hard to preserve ideological ideologies and instill morality in students.
Do not exacerbate the situation if, as a stakeholder, you can favorably impact the union’s prosperity. You shouldn’t catch them executing a hatchet job. They should always urge young people to achieve better and promote fair play.
