OUR VERY BELATED BEM-VINDO

In as much we can’t deny the fact that we are currently in the freshness of the new session, there's no gainsaying the fact that the session is gradually folding up. These two rather
contradictory juxtapositions is in the light of the fact that this session has ended even before it began. This first weeks are what we call the beginning of the end.

Although mostly spent in the hustle and tussle for accommodation cum frivolity and aimlessness by some, these first weeks are a major pointer to the possible outlook of the session as a whole. What happens in the first few weeks changes the whole outlook of the session.

Our esteemed freshmen! We implore you to exploit these first weeks to your optimum gain. Plunder it for all its benefits instead of waiting “for things to start”. Borrow a leaf from our politically inclined brothers and sisters who have begun making the most of these first weeks. No doubt, you must have received one of those over friendly handshakes, the same ones that leave you wondering, “Where do I know this guy from?” Make no mistake, those exaggerated show of concern are not without aim. It is their own way of wetting the ground to ensure a vote germinates from you. When the electioneering process is over, your new found acquaintance would treat you like a stranger (that you are), especially after they’ve lost. Any way, don't mind them. The important thing is that you're getting matriculated in a few days time... Yaay! We can't congratulate you enough as you ''officially'' become a Unibadan student. For real mehnnn! (lol...) Break a leg and make sure you reserve some chicken for Fatsssa Press members!

Our returning classmates and senior colleagues are not forgotten in this our very belated bem-vindo! ‘How market?’ ‘Se CGPA o fo yin lenu?’ Even if that’s the case all is well, all will be well. We heard your ‘gists’ o. How you went for catch them young even without affiliation with any student body! Whatever agenda you’re catching our freshers young for, please let it be pure o! Hmm!
Our Pressmen, those whose noble commitment has kept the flag of truth flying are not essentially left out in this belated ekaabo! Your efforts in the past have formed the integral part of the struggle for an informed student body such as ours. It is in this light we enjoin you to continue in the push for truth, transparency and objectivity. In these first weeks, let us oil our lamps and keep watch lest the political warthogs overrun our people with their armored tanks of political propaganda.

While the current situation on campus prevails, we beseech you, thou messenger of our outcry, to not forget the amount of sugar which you used in coating your words during your manifesto presentations. Our mouths are watering in great expectancy to savour the sweetness of your exaggerated promises. Please, don’t deprive us of the bait you used in wooing our allegiance.
In all, we hope that our expectations match reality and that all our dreams come true (even those we made up ourselves).
This is our own very way of saying welcome, our very belated ekaabo! Bem-Vindo les amigos!
