Sex for Money Or Money for Sex: Not A UoN Thing!Steve Biko

Men ultimately PAY for sex in whatever FORM whether DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY...cold hard cash or outings and gifts...call it courtship or dating in the end everything costs MONEY...ever since the invention of Ceasers coin. This Sad but true state of affairs became responsible for the world's oldest profession, PROSTITUTION. You can agree or disagree, DISSENT is as much valid as APPROVAL. But before you bring out the torches and burn my sentiments, When was the last time you enjoyed anything "GOOD" for free. This Game has been played for centuries. The advent of commerce at the turn of the century came up with what is called the "BARTER TRADE"..Simply "the exchange of goods and services"..Modern relationships are nothing short of "sexual barter trades"...you "GIVE" in order to "RECEIVE”,the truth is that NOTHING IS FOR FREE. The trick, to get by this ugly truth is to GLORIFY and JUSTIFY our designations, accept our places and play our role in upgrading societal morals.
The ladies in black have always perfected the act of making the Koinange Street the most popular in the nation. They well know of men in black who will always come for the young ladies (young, independent, and fresh bloods in the University of Nairobi). In my tenure as the ORGANIZING SECRETARY, I made great efforts to clean and protect the spirit of comradeship by empowering the cooperates and great personalities as well as the Nairobi-county women representative, Hon Rachael Shebesh to mobilize our ladies in protecting their dignity and upgrading their roles in uplifting the societal norms.
Any young leader in this nation have a task to fight SEXUAL IMMORALITIES amongst the youth, and specifically in the institutes of higher education. The University of Nairobi is no exception. I live to see the name STEVE BIKO in the SONU AND the UNIVERSITY books of records as the most pragmatic student leader to stand tall, and taller than then the word tall itself int he fight against sexual immorality.
LONG LIVE SONU, LONG LIVE UoN, 

Steve Biko

Secretary General Aspirant, SONU 2014/15

Who is Maina Dubois Maina?SONUDECIDES2014

Elections are here again with us and we not only need exercise our inalienable right of democratically electing leaders of our choice but also be seen to do so in a way that our wishes and aspiration, as the students of this premier institution of learning, will be seen to reflect. I take keen note of the fact that we all are pregnant with huge expectations.

It is during this electioneering period that the fate of over 60,000 students , for the next 12 months, will be determined .Whether those freshmen we recently inducted will have a sober intellectual climate to realize selves while in this university; whether they live to be men and women  of academic might and character ;or even whether the students will have to wade in anguish as they fight to have their marks recorded in their student portals ; I keenly observe; will hugely be determined by the outcome of these polls.

I am Dubois Maina  ,an undergraduate scholar in the school of Economics ,set to finalize with my level 2 comes this August .I am also a student leader serving in the student union as a member of the legislative arm of the student body. I am in the race for the position of the Organizing Secretary in this year’s polls and intend to liaise with able and competent leaders to ascend into office and continue with my advocacy for the students’ rights and welfare.

I must admit that serving in the union has not been a ride in the park. We are coming from a challenging and a very uncertain past in the history of student leadership. Many have been the times students has had to fight for themselves when one of their own succumbed to external forces; be it death ,illness ,financial misery after HELB reluctantantly disburse the loans or even unhygienic living conditions in our halls of residences. No one can forget the hassles we have been forced to go through just to secure a place of residence in our halls. I however remain a staunch believer in the school of thoughts that advocate for able and pragmatic leadership because with this, I am deeply convicted that there not even a single challenge facing our comrades that cannot be tackled amicably. The biggest challenges that have constantly riddled our union are lack of unity of purpose as well as selfishness. Leaders whom we have previously entrusted with various dockets have thrown our concerns under their beds and instead pursued divergent agendas which has done little to add salvo to our union.

In the same breath I commend the few who served in the current student body to ensure that at those critical moments of our dire needs; they gave a shoulder for us to lean on and a listening ear.

My candidature is inspired by the desire to create an involving and engaging environment for my fellow students so as to attain their maximum potential while in this university. This is driven by my realization of the power of information in building a strong and enabling university atmosphere for my fellow students. As Albert Einstein once remarked:”An informed society is an empowered society” I want to empower my comrades with information; information that our comrades never have the chance to get while in lecture theatres or library facilities. Through the power that will be vested on me; I will strive to use the resources availed to my docket to champion for this course by ensuring students get to learn about internships and employment opportunities; the business and investment opportunities;exchange,bursary and scholarship opportunities among many others ;as and when they are available. This will give my students an upper hand in grabbing the numerous opportunities available within and outside this City. I also intend to bring on board, talented comrades to be involved in numerous publications under my docket.

In summary, I will closely liaise with other like-minded student leaders to provide an opportunity for all comrades to remain extra-competitive and well-armed to harness their untapped potential and make the best out of this compelling city.

I also would like to take this early opportunity to urge all comrades to be mindful of one another despite the difference in our political bearing.

Dubois Maina.
