Activism is not a crime
The world’s second richest pastor commented on Thursday, July 7 that “the era of private universities – championed by the church – came to set standards and right moral codes in our educational system to make it thrive better, devoid of cultism and activism” as reported by Vanguard. However, this statement can also be interpreted to mean that this is another way the Nigerian rich class wants to criminalise activism and deprive the next generation of their right to independent thinking.
