FATSSSA PRESS -- University of Ibadan, Nigeria

Social Media......... Social media; two words that have changed the world. Social media is the new world. It is a place where everything happens. Twitter,Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat is the world now. You can't make it to a function, don't worry; you'll get more action than those who attended because you can get to see it all from Insta stories or Snapchat. The only thing is you won't get the Jollof. Perhaps your favourite celebrity is getting hooked, you know you cannot be there. No need to worry, it would be all over Instagram,#BAAD17 was all over my Instagram timeline no matter how many times I clicked "see fewer posts than these" These days people feel that they owe it to their "friends"/or " followers" the right to be continually updated about their lives. We know when they get into a relationship, we see how the love grows,wilters and dies, this is not because we're "amebos" but because they carried us along ...

"Can we just use the field or stadium next year?" These were the words of a clearly disgruntled spectator in the crowded Large Lecture Theatre of the faculty of the social sciences who was there just like everyone else - to witness the "jaw war" competition. The LLT was filled to its brim and even overflowed outside. Those that got seats though more fortunate than the army standing were crammed on these seats; we had no choice than to inhale oozing odors from different and variant sources. Anybody with a hand fan or its improvised equivalent were Lords of the moment as we all swarmed around them like ants attracted to sugar. The heat was almost unbearable and it still remains a mystery to me how nobody fainted under these circumstances. Before you conclude that I went there late, I did not.  I was there on both days (note I attended the first two days of the first round) an hour before the program commenced where classes held on those occasions and we ha...

Suspended Financial Secretary of Fatsssa, Adefowope Abiodun has insisted that former Treaurer of Fatsssa, Adedapo Adesiji owes Fatsssa the sum of 19, 000 and has gone ahead to provide evidence to back his claims. You would recall from a previous Fatsssa Press report that the former Treasurer had denied being in possession of the Association's money and as such was under no obligation to make any remittance. According to Abiodun, the former Treasurer, Adedapo Adesiji who's also known as Acube, had failed to remit some amount of money from dues collected on the 10th of April 2017 to the tune of #19000. He presented to a Fatsssa Press correspondent eight receipts signed off by former Treasurer which added up to #19,000 that was never remitted to the Association's account. Mr Abiodun also said that he had accosted the former Treasurer (Acube) sometimes in May when he discovered the discrepancy and that Acube had admitted to the fact that the money was with him and promised ...

WHO IS SHERIF?. As far as I know, I’m not the erratic or mysterious fellow many people assume I am. I am just like any gentle dude who values and respects his unpright principles. WHAT ARE THESE PRINCIPLES? Generally, I’ll summarize them as series of actions and inactions geared towards ensuring a fair and peaceful atmosphere for humanity.
