Andrew Efemini a Proffesor of Philosophy in the University of Port-harcourt Begs for money after five months of suspension.
He posted this on his facebook wall:
I AM NOW A DESTITUTE Having survived five months as against the statutory three months of suspension, I am left with no option but to inform the public that I now need financial support to continue to survive. I have informed the university in writing that as a diabetic and hypertensive patient, my life is threatened by the cut of my salary as a result of my suspension from duty due to allegations over students related agitations over fee policies of the university of Port Harcourt. I have contemplated suicide severally with a suicide message for the Nigerian people on how a Professor or anybody at that should not be treated. I hope the university of Port Harcourt will take note of this paragraph. I see people who are supposed to be my friends pass me everyday unconcerned about how I survive. May be that is human nature. Not even the Union ASUU has shown concern about my life threatening conditions. The Union where I was branch chairman for five years. Strange things happen. Please, concerned Nigerians should come to my aid. I need at least N50,000 each month to buy my insulin alone. I also buy other drugs. I have a family to also run. Please don’t ignore this post. It is my last effort to stay alive. People who think that speaking for students is a crime must be put to shame. My account details: Andrew Efemini UBA 1004955569 THANKS TO YOU ALL. Students mobilize to support my survival. No amount is too small.
