CITIZENS OF FATSSSA REPUBLIC, POINT OF INFORMATION: FATSSSA IS "RICH"



Not so long ago, before the birth of Kafuism, the FATSSSA body was led and its affairs were directed and ordered by Janglasism. During the Janglasism regime, citizens of FATSSSA republic paid 2000 naira as basic dues; the basic dues excluded dinner and shirt. Citizens of FATSSSA republic had high hopes in this regime having being promised heaven, earth and the galaxy in between. These hopes were short-lived as citizens did not receive anything even as much as a pin as package for the 2016/2017 regime.
It was rumored that higher authority intervened this year and fixed the basic dues for citizens at 1000 naira.
Many a citizen were happy at this development at least if we would not receive anything at the end of the regime, we don’t have to pay so much, they said. Citizens of FATSSSA republic challenged their administrators at the state level as to why their dues were relatively double of the republic’s due and their administrators’ response was that “higher authority prevailed”.
This seemed like a fair deal to the citizens in this “Buharishly beautiful” times but to the administrators of FATSSSA republic…it was and still is a big deal.
The press has been at the last two sittings of the FATSSSA House of Representatives (FHR) and we can tell you categorically and emphatically how big of a deal it is.
Aside from the fact that FATSSSA basic dues is now 1,000 naira per citizen. The five- stranded cord has been loosed, leaving behind four strands. FATSSSA is now a republic of four states; the states of Geography, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. This is due to the fact that what used to be known as the state of Economics is now independent and a full-fledged republic on its own.
A republic that used to boast of about 1400 citizens with each paying at least 2000 naira as dues now has a little over 1000 citizens. Some of whom did not pay dues.
Furthermore, it is a tradition in the republic that every out-going regime bequeaths a “monetary legacy” to the incoming regime. This is to enable the smooth running of the republic. Citizens of our dear republic, it would interest you to know that due to the circumstances under which the Janglasism regime operated, the FATSSSA account was frozen and is inaccessible by the Kafuism regime. They were alleged to have opened a new account with a different bank.
Citizens of this eminent republic, we would implore us all to try and make time to attend the FHR sittings, so that we all can see with how the affairs of our republic are decided.
Honourables’ spend as long as 6 hours on an empty or half-full stomach deliberating, criticizing, scrutinizing and sometimes eliminating some items in the budget of FATSSSA administrators. The elimination or scraping is most often than not usually due to financial ad feasibility reasons.
Dearest citizens, our republic is “rich”; we are probably the richest republic in this citadel of learning as it stands now. This is a call to all of us citizens, let us all rise and build back our republic.
We are all stakeholders in this association.

THE FATSSSA WEEK EVENTS THROUGH THE EYES OF A NERDY FATSSSAITE

Image
  By Omolola Odukoya    The Faculty of The Social Sciences had always been known for events which make headlines around campus. However, there had been loud hiccups with the crispy picnic, so many might have been hesitant to show up at the FATSSSA Week events. In preparation for the opening day of the events, the Large Lecture Theatre had been decorated. A large purple banner bearing the name of the faculty, with beautiful splashes of white and orange, was glued to the wall. The week started with an incredible intellectual programme - ‘Dean For  A Day’ and ‘FATSSSAites who inspire us’. I was determined to attend the programme as it was a new trend and I was curious to see how it would turn out. My mouth went agape as I saw FATSSSAites rush to the event. There were six amazing personalities whose citations made my head burst open.  One of the personalities, Mr Shallom made the girls swoon as his melodious baritone tingled through the room. His cheeks turned...
