FATSSSA PRESS -- University of Ibadan, Nigeria

Admission into federal universities in Nigeria never comes without a price tag. It is either the entrance exam is unreasonably tough or you’ll have to “settle” your way in. In other cases where you get admitted by merit, as in the University of Ibadan, you’ll have to pay in some other way – Stress! From the day you secure admission into Unibadan, you struggles begin! The good thing however, is that this stress won’t kill you but prepare you for the mainstream world. Besides, others have passed through this system and are still alive to tell the story.

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.

NEW BEGINNINGS It’s only the beginning now …a pathway yet unknown At times the sound of other steps …sometimes we walk alone The best beginnings of our lives May sometimes end in sorrow But even on our darkest days
