"If this couldn't kill you, then death till it dies has no sting on you..." [Corporate Prison] Ofem Ubi

"If YouTube had a portal, I'd pay my tuition fee into it, cause I've learned far lot more online than off...", Ofem says.

Today, Saturday July 30, 2022 exactly five months and two weeks since the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had gone on strike.

In the shortfilm (2mins 30 secs), "Corporate Prison", Ofem Ubi narrates the academic life of an average Nigerian student, with metaphors crafted so perfectly in a beautiful poem.

"...if this couldn't kill you, then death till it dies has no sting on you..."
