CUT THE CRAB: WHO TOLD YOU LADIES CAN'T LEAD; NUESA DECIDE 24 IS A WIN FOR ALL.

In 1943, Lepa Radié, a courageous 17-year-old rebel(as painted by the government) who valiantly fought for freedom, was executed by the Germans. Radié at the age of 15, witnessed the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. Due to the country's strategic position during the war, it swiftly succumbed to the invasion. Yet, despite falling under the sinister grip of fascism, the people of Yugoslavia fiercely defended their honor and pride, even to the point of sacrificing their lives. 

Following her arrest and imprisonment by the puppet government of Yugoslavia, Lepa Radié was liberated by Partisan fighters. She joined their cause, actively participating in the resistance movement's frontline operations, which sought to overthrow the occupying forces and establish a socialist government. Her role involved transporting wounded fighters to medical facilities for treatment. Tragically, her involvement in the resistance movement ultimately led to her demise.

Radié took part in a mission to rescue 150 women and children, engaging in combat against enemy troops. However, she was captured and condemned to death by hanging. During the three days preceding her execution, she endured torture in an attempt to extract information about her fellow partisans, she maintained the Sicilian code for silence; Omerta. Despite the torment, she remained steadfast and refused to provide any answers. Just before her hanging, she was given a final opportunity to disclose the identities of her comrades, to which she defiantly replied, "I am not a traitor to my people. Those whom you inquire about will reveal themselves once they have eradicated every single one of you evildoers."

With those unwavering words, the support beneath her feet was abruptly taken away, and she was hanged. Lepa Radié was posthumously honored as a national hero in 1951. She stands as an enduring symbol of freedom, resistance against oppression, and unwavering loyalty.

So you now understand the women too are nation builders and visionary leaders 🤔?

The likes of our Vice Chancellor, Prof.  Aisha Sani Maikudi, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, ODELUWA Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche have all left hand writings on the walls of Nigeria and the world that even the next generations will favour them in history and in deeds.

Now, the faculty of education is in safe hands as two female great leaders of our time just rose to sit at the table of her decision.

It’s heartbreaking to hear about the trauma our female students endures, and yet their resilience is a testament to the strength that carries through generations. Stories like these remind us that the wounds of the past aren’t so distant, and they call for continued reflection, empathy, and commitment to ensuring such atrocities never happen.
