ACJ LASU

​By  Similoluwa Ifedayo   Yes. You read the topic right. Avoid them or they will show you  shege. I will begin this letter with a rundown of how Mondays look like for me.  Now, every Monday, two things are true about me, one is that I have hectic classes and two, I always wake up tired. The classes usually require me to be mentally stable and physically strong because I have to engage in back-to-back trekking under the LASU sun.  What can I do? The degree must be bagged. So, in order to be stable mentally, the evening before, I decided to relax at a restaurant in the inner parts of Ojo.    Before, I go any further, let me beat around the bush a bit by going to the earlier parts of Sunday. Bear with me, please. It is part of the story. Just be sure to take a cold drink as you read through. Yes, so, I woke up around 6am, had my early Bible study/prayer, did my house chores, and had my bath. By 7:30am, I was done and was walking to First Gate junctio...

Students in Nigeria are bearing the brunt of the country's rising inflation. Prices for basic necessities like food and transportation have been on the rise, which has put a strain on many families and is impacting the lives of many students.  For Triumph Emmanuel, a 200-level Mass communication student, the impact of the inflation cannot be overestimated. Triumph's primary source of income is the allowance he receives from home. A year before now, the allowance he receives has been enough to cater for his feeding, transportation, and necessities and get him through as a regular student, until he receives the next. However,  this is not the case anymore due to the rising cost of basic necessities. "As a student, I used to confidently decline when they offered to bring foodstuffs for...

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...
