BE A MAN

 BE A MAN

Be a man!

The creed of my breed

The slogan of my deed

The bivouac of my clan


Be a man!

The rhyme from every lips

Even when Lost in the deeps

To be a man is to smile while being broken!


To gnash and rot from within

So is it defined as to be a man

In my gender plan

To disguise is to be a man


Be a man!

Never reveal emotions 

Not let out the things that hurts 

Till all is rotten like yam in a barn 


To be a man 

Many embrace depression 

And shun every conversation 

For to speak less is to be a man 


While some even tied the lives to a tree

To make a quick exit from a knot 

And embrace death to be free 

My gender is going nut!

At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...

UI SUSPENDS TWO STUDENTS WITH SDC CASES, THIRD STUDENT'S CASE REMAINS UNRESOLVED

Image
Peace Nkenta ‎On Monday, 14th of July, two students, Aduwo Ayodele, a final year student of the History Department, and Gbadegesin Olamide, a final year Master’s student at the Institute of African Studies, received a four-semester suspension. ‎This decision was taken during the Central Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC) sitting held earlier today involving the Vice Chancellor amongst other members of the University management.

Meanwhile, Nice Linus of the Faculty of Law was not invited to the panel, and her case remain...
