I am Seyi, a university student caught in the throes of an academic system that no longer serves its purpose. When the administration continues to ignore the concerns of students, I am drawn into a wave of protests demanding better education, transparency, and fairness. At first, it's a small act of rebellion, something I thought I could walk away from easily. But soon, I realize it's more than just about improving conditions at the university-it's about standing up for what's right, even when the stakes are higher than I could have ever imagined.
I watch as the protests grow from peaceful demonstrations into a full-scale rebellion. Students from every department join, united by a common cause, but divided by their own fears. I find myself at the forefront of this movement, and while my peers are driven by righteous anger, I am torn between the desire to be heard and the reality of the consequences. The administration, desperate to maintain control, escalates their tactics, and I know that the situation is spiraling toward something far worse than I anticipated.
I lead alongside my friend Amara, whose strength and resolve have become a pillar of the protest. Together, we navigate the tension that fills the air on campus, where every step we take feels like a calculated risk. We find solidarity in each other, but also, a growing sense of dread. The university is on the brink of violence, and with each protest, I question how much we are willing to sacrifice to make our voices heard. The stakes are no longer just about our education-they are about our futures.
