April, the month of April was all sorts of happenings! Different events every day, it was a hit back to back, some were fun, some were sad, some were just not it, but as Nigerians, we’re known to cope and enjoy every situation, be it good or bad.
Inside OAU Media is taking you back to April, all that happened in April, the one you missed and the one you didn’t understand. It’s a throwback to April in Nigeria and on OAU campus.
1. Blocked sim cards
All these days, FG has been threatening us but most of us believed our faulty system will never have the time to block our sim cards until they actually did it. FG actually blocked the sim cards of the future leaders and numerous others without a flinch. This came as a shocker for this battle has been dragged on for months and numerous deadlines were overlooked.
2. Osinachi’s domestic violence
It’s not even normal for anyone to harm anyone mentally but then coupled with physical maltreatment to the point of death? Somehow the singer of Ekwueme became a victim of this ill event in our society. Many had their options to share and pennies to offer but the fact remains that society always finds ways to stigmatise the victims hence the reluctance to fight back or open up.
3. Yul Edochie’s polygamy
Seems our popular, baritone-voiced Nollywood actor has been craving attention and his polygamy was the perfect icing on that cake. He lamented about how his skills, voice and other activities didn’t gain him this much uproar as his infidelity to the wife he had claimed took care of him when he had nothing. He is not a Yoruba man but let’s conclude that all men will you all shades of pepper.
4. OAU Hookups
One moment OAU students were amazed by the touch of voodoo that hit the school, the other we had PreecyTV, Kings Cab and Minaj getting hot on a Twitter space. It is always going to be the “n****a, I’m into hook up and what I make can pay your bills” statement that PreecyTV, the lead character made on the space unapologetically.

6. APC Nomination Form
As 2023 is fast approaching, the election has been the most trending event, the gubernatorial, presidential, as well as the house of representative form, was released by the leading All progressive Congress at an outrageous price, which made Nigerians murmur about how much suffering we’re going to go through in the hands of politicians ready to sacrifice a #100million, 50million naira and 15million naira for a nomination form.
8. NASU Strike
Amidst the ASUU Strike and all, Non-Academic staff of universities decided to go on strike too, which sent all federal university students back to their parent’s houses.
9. Kaduna-Abuja Train Attack
This same April, Bandits attacked a train going from Kaduna to Abuja, planted explosives on the train and fired bullets openly. The train had about 970 passengers.
We don’t know which way Nigeria is going.

10. Opening of Border
The long-locked Nigeria/Cotonou border was finally opened in April. It should be recalled that the President, Muhammadu Buhari had ordered the closure so Nigeria can be independent on the resources we have and this has increased the price of so many things as Rice, Groundnut oil and Turkey were imported from Cotonou.
11. Sex-for-grades
Obafemi Awolowo University had a case of sex for grades, between Professor Opefeyitimi and Miss Boluwatife Hannah, who accused Professor Opefeyitimi of molesting her… Read the full story here.
12. Missing Students’ Union Fund
Great Ife Students’ Union newly inaugurated executives had a case of missing 720,000 naira from the Union’s account. The bank statement had Dr IBK the impeached Students’ Union President of the 2016/2017 session as the person who illegally withdrew the money from the account. The case got to court and has been settled but not fully as Dr IBK still has a court hearing. The full story here
13. Kuda saga
For a moment it seemed to Nigerians that “a bank of the free” was restricted to just the money you keep with Kuda and the customers might not be enjoying the freedom to express their concerns or complaints. Kuda bank got slammed by Nigerians when a viral video of a customer being maltreated by two armed police officers at the bank surfaced online. The bank seems to have cleared the air and we are still getting the usual truckload of ads.
14. Easter celebrations
April was blessed with the beautiful celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This celebrations merged with Ramadan and WhatsApp users experienced both church and mosque moments on their status updates.
15. Ramadan
In this same month of April, our Muslim brothers and sisters had their holy month of Ramadan fasting.
This is a highlight of almost all that happened in the country and our OAU throughout April. We hope you all have a wonderful, blessed and less dramatic month of May.
Happy New Month Trybe Citizens.
