ACJ LASU

By Similoluwa Ifedayo  On Thursday, December 15, 2022, the Asiwaju Grassroots Talk (AGT) Directorate Of Student Affairs had its combined Evangelical Seminar (LASU and LASUED), themed "Reawakening the political consciousness of students of tertiary institutions, and their indispensable participation in politics and governance" at Buba Marwa Main Auditorium, Lasu Ojo.  However, I could say that the event did more of awakening the deep hunger and anger of LASUites than the political consciousness. A few days before the seminar, LASU students were asked to join different groups and add their names to the list of attendees for the AGT. With excitement, LASUites did because of the enticing benefits attached as organizers had promised "Item 7" (Food) and souvenirs. Quite frankly, food is the closest to sanity after LASU's stress, so, I understand the reason behind the large attendance as the auditorium was teeming with life, both upstairs and downstairs.  Now, by my ca...

Dauda Mistura Amusingly the term ‘Detty December’, was coined a couple of years ago, by Mr. Eazi. Seemingly, he would never have expected it to have a cultural impact on the Lagos nightlife scene. Now December in Lagos is characterized by various parties, concerts and fests. Basically, December is for premium enjoyment and unwinding from the typical ‘Lagos’ cloned stress even IJGBs. A famous catchphrase in the lips of Lagos hype man says 'Azul no be for salary earners' therefore Detty December has account limit and many people who do not meet this standard feel unnecessarily pressured to 'turn up' during the holidays even when their account is vividly red. That is why I have come up with the necessary tips to make your December detty without money.  1. Go to your village  Well this may sound familiar and jocular but at a closer look it isn't. it is of utmost importance for a person to remember their roots. Nobody is going to pressure you in the village, ...

Dauda Mistura You might call it 'Ashewo’ or 'ashawo' but in whatever case  the term is derived and adopted by Nigerians over time to describe a person as a 'slut' ‘hoe' or ‘prostitute'.  Relatively, This word is reserved for women in general. It is sometimes used in careless arguments or alterations involving women or even in random situations.  In Lagos, an Hausa bike man or an aged Yoruba bike man can call you an ashewo for not having change, the woman selling pepper down the street can call you an ashawo for wearing a bum shorts and a sleeveless top  and ignorantly, a guy might call you ashawo for rejecting his advances. It cuts across the sisters in beret and the ladies in hijab. An average Nigerian woman has been called Ashawo multiple times mostly in unwarranted situations.  This word is like a weapon, whipped out in a time of need to remind women of their place in society. Then the rebranding started. There is this turnaround of women libe...

Opeyemisi WhatsApp is an essential App in the life of many Nigerians, and going off for a few hours would provoke different reactions from its user. From WhatsApp TV owners to group admins to online vendors and whole others. WhatsApp Tv owners: these are the sect who would stop at nothing to rain curses on Mark Zuckerberg and thinking of how much content they could have posted within those hours. The fear of losing viewers also looms, and they can only sit back and think of hysterical captions that they will write immediately it comes back on. Group Admins: those hours WhatsApp was down should be a moment of reflection for this particular set of people. They should know that all their power ends on WhatsApp and that power belongs to Zuckerberg. Imagine your whole personality revolves around being a WhatsApp admin. Hello! Bros, get a life! Risky texters : There are certainly the people whose only aim in life is to send risky texts to people's boyfriends and girlfriends....

Bolaji Badmus If I asked you what your major reason for being in the university is, I'm pretty sure you'd say "to get good grades and earn a degree" or "to be a graduate". Well, while it's  true that the major reason you're in the university is to acquire tertiary education and earn a degree, there are also a bunch of things in-between that are just as important. I was going through my LinkedIn page one time and I came across a post from Mike Bloomberg. The part of the post that got me was about getting involved on campus. Here's the post 👇🏽 Although the post was about covid 19 & school reopening, he started it with what made him find greatness beyond the classroom on campus, INVOLVEMENT ! The university is like a world on its own. It is so much more than sitting in class and listening to lectures! (yes, I discovered that). It's supposed to be a holistic experience. A lot can testify to the fact that getting invo...

By Abdulrazaq Yusuf B2K In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. To him belong all praises and adorations. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his household, his companions and every single one of his Ummah till the Day of Judgement. Ameen. It is indeed obvious that the Holy month of Ramadan is about to end; may Allah see us through and not deny us the blessings therein. It is a fact of common shared knowledge that the most anticipated event after Ramadan is the "Eid-ul-fitr". 'Eid' in its literal meaning refers to ‘celebration. On that day, the Muslims celebrate, exchange gifts and foods; and spread happiness. There are a few reasons people celebrate Eid-ul-fitr, It could be because it is a blessing from Allah as a reward for observing fast for a whole month as it is one of the revered and obligatory pillars of the religion, or it could be because it is an occasion where Muslims express love for one ano...

By Àjàyí Samiat We all speak about not letting stereotypes get to us, it's very easy to come all out and take this stand but how often do we practice it. The class of women that have decided to wear the hijab which is defined by Wikipedia as "a religious veil worn by Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the hair, head and chest", do so for numerous reasons but with one common cause. These women are victims of a popular stereotype because of decisions and mistakes some have made, society goes ahead to generalize and conclude they are the worst kind of people, those hiding behind the veil . Society puts women on hijab in a box, they expect and don't expect certain things from them, and express their disappointment when they fail to meet up with these expectations. After all a veiled woman is an holy woman.They expect perfection and detest mistakes, they construct a box with or without your consent and put you i...

Despite a commendable outing in the 2019 season for the Blazers at various tournament such as the ASFU, and the HIFL, the team gave less than the fans expected of them and it wss a very big upset as the team lost the two matches played in the qualifying round of the playoffs.
