Hello! This is the #twitter account of the Movie Club a.k.a #ThursdayFilmSeries in the University of Ibadan. We host a gathering of film enthusiasts who engage in conceptual and thematic analysis of films (both #fiction and #documentaries) during #filmscreenings.

Some photos from today's audacious event with a discussion of the ills of #treefelling & #illegalmining, the importance of nature, and the intersection of arts, culture and environmental preservation with an engaging audience and esteemed panellists. @molarawood #GreenorGrey

I love this country, but I don't love the type of violent stupidity I see. - Niyi Osundare

The University of Ibadan used to have the universe it.

A university has a universe in it when it makes people think. We are a country of foolish people who don't create. - Niyi Osundare still on Ageism #GreenorGrey

In Nigeria, we have rulers, not leaders.- Niyi Osundare

I was born in 1947, but my best year so far was between 1960-1966 during the regional government. - Niyi Osundare

Ageism is one of the cougars we live with. There is nothing wrong with being young or old; it is when using one position to disadvantage the other that the problem arrives. - Niyi Osunadare #GreenorGrey

Trees are witnesses to history and human society - @molarawood #GreenorGrey

Nigerians are constantly at each other throats because we live in concrete jungles. - @molarawood #GreenorGrey

You go to Europe for environmental conditions you do not care to preserve in your society - Ms @molarawood #GreenorGrey

Impunity of choice - the audacity of power

You decide whether 50+ men and women professor will decide your future - Fight for your privilege! - Sola Olorunyomi #GreenorGrey

Cutting down a tree doesn't amount to change! - What happened at Heritage Park is a massacre - Rosalie-Ann Modder @save_ogunpafr #GreenorGrey

We are too busy looking for wealth somewhere else when our ancestors have left us with better things. The thirst for accumulation of wealth that would not be exhausted is killing our development. - Ms Adeola N Aderemi #GreenorGrey

Ibadan is a great city; I love this city, but it has become filthy - Ms Wood #GreenorGrey

The sound of chainsaw was invasive, insistent and violent to take - Ms @molarawood #GreenorGrey

Beauty and usefulness are never separated - African epistemologies usually see the beauty in the useful and the useful in the beauty. - Niyi Osundare #GreenorGrey

Most of our problems come from the university - Niyi Osundare

Ms Adeola Aderemi - It started since I was young travelling around. I started focusing explicitly on environmental issues when I took a break from working at Brussels & UN on policy work on public health. #GreenorGrey
