FATSSSA PRESS -- University of Ibadan, Nigeria

In respect to the Total student's Conference organised by the Indelible Impact team of the Faculty of The Social Sciences tagged "IS SCHOOL A SCAM?" Here are some feedbacks gotten from the participants as to the success of the program: "I don't really know the adjective that I can to qualify the program... It was one the best programs I've attended on this campus. I learnt that both formal education and informal education complements each other Secondly, self - confidence is one of important keys in achieving your gaols, i.e. you must believe in yourself. Your field of study as an undergraduate, doesn't guaranty where you will end up in future..." ~ Egbewale Kehinde 400l Sociology "School is a scam only if you're a scammer. Secondly, education or school is of two types: formal and informal education (handwork) and I learnt that we have to combine the both of them to attain success and school is a stepping stone to success. So schoo

By Tenaj I watched as she grew and blossomed like a rose by the river side. Her happy demeanor and girlish act made me teased her often, in ways that she liked but shy away from; she pouted her mouth to show the facade of annoyance. Growing up in the hood where everyone works in mood and heaps of gibberish that decorated the hood telling everyone's repressed stories. Some people lived in fear and others outgrown their fears as they puffed out smokes from every corners of their mouth, mimicking Sango's descendants talent. She was the reason for my existence and my only medal on earth. I smiled realising how my flower had flourished over the years, since that dreadful history made a horticulturist of life out of me. I couldn't help imagining how proud our parent would be, since war stripped us of their love and affections. Oh! I missed them. I remembered that war that brought hot tears to momma's eyes as we watched dad's loving heart shattered with rusted dagge

By Ameze Damilola Let's take a stroll down memory lane.. After my first year in university,  the session had ended and my fellowship had closed for the session but the hostels were still open so I stayed back because some folks were still around and might want to change their hairdo. (I specialize in bringing out the beauty in women). I cannot rush home and miss money that is my own. As a good child that I am,  on Sunday morning,  I dressed up and strolled to a nearby church.  They welcomed me well. I was even lent a scarf for the duration of the service.  Little did they know that I was there only for Sunday Sunday medicine. After that day,  one of the members of the church began to check on me regularly and later on,  she started inviting me for their weekly programs but I was contented with dosage of the Sunday Sunday medicine already. One Thursday afternoon,  she caught me washing and reminded me of the text she sent to me which I pretended not to have seen. I promised

The FATSSSA PRESS ORGANISATION welcomes you to the 10th week of the semester; let it be known that examinations are just few weeks away. It is time to pick up your books. That being noted, this week, we are reviewing some of the news that made the rounds both on campus and off campus, the reactions that trailed the news, all about facts and trends. On campus, we welcomed the preceding week with the knowledge of the five day warning strike by the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU). For some, it was a no-class week as most of their classes were cancelled while for others, it was not just about classes, it was all about tests and assignments. For the latter, it was an unpleasant affair as the no-light syndrome inhibited many academic activities that required power. With the benefit of hindsight, a week before the preceding week, we all converged at the Large Lecture Theatre (LLT) of the Faculty of the Social Sciences to hold a conversation on whether school is a scam

By Dictargh The Nigerian Twitter community has recently become good fans of Rhema as he made Barack Obama's summer playlist. The former president of the United States of America took to his twitter handle to share his personal playlist for summer 2019. The songs which were 44 in total had 'Iron man' which is Rhema's single as the 42nd song. A lot of Nigerians have reacted since then, including the singer's boss, Don Jazzy. A popular twitter user whose handle is dreylo claimed that Nigerian music seems to move better than her Economy.

By Osarennoma Ogbeide “It is a one week warning strike we heard! It will be over before you know it!”, this is something I told myself. It began with locked offices, and then advanced to little or no vehicular movement, fewer classes than usual, cancellation of tests (hearts lifted by this news). Power supply became a rationed commodity; we had to observe well enough to understand their system, Water became a prized possession, no one was sharing their charger anymore. It was every man for himself. It is unfortunate how we have to suffer for the shortcomings of the government. This one week warning strike by NASU should have served its purpose, although many think one week is not enough for them to “loud” it enough to compel the government to meet their demands. I happened to go outside school during the week. The main gates were locked, the streets were flooded with people, cars littered the road and NASU officials pumped and ready to deal with any erring staff that violated

You've probably heard the adage breakfast is the most important meal of the day a million times before; but it turns out that it may be true, especially when it comes to students. Eating a healthy breakfast before starting the school day is linked to improved concentration, better test scores, increased energy, a higher intake of vitamins and minerals, and even a healthier body weight. Breakfast is especially important for young students whose brains use up about half of the bodys energy.  Improved Concentration Students who eat a healthy breakfast tend to have better concentration than students who skip breakfast altogether. When the day starts with breakfast, students can focus on the task at hand better and become less distracted by outside influences and other students. They're also able to understand whats being taught more easily and retain that new information better than students who are hungry because they've skipped breakfast. Better Test Scores Students
