MR BABALOLA: I am motivated by Neymar Jr. We play in similar way. He is a better version of me as a football player. We play the same position in football. I'm a striker.

MR BABALOLA: I want to increase participation in sports. In the next inter-faculty games, I want FATSSSA to win in more than just football. The theme for my campaign is self-actualization.

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...
