Education / My Common Entrance Story by funmo(m): 2:13pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
ALANI OLORI NLA WRITES COMMON ENTRANCE Seems it is the common entrance season, I heard it is common entrance in Lagos today, hence I decided to check the R.O.M of my brain for some of 'em old archives dating back as far as year 2000. I got these: The Eve Blessed art thou if you are in primary five and you have my type of Mum and 11-years-older sister. Why? Because you shall be extra-drilled as common entrance approaches. There was this yellow-covered textbook (the name is still hiding somewhere in my R.A.M) and a Kola-way-to-succes book that I was made to know everything in them. So on common entrance's Eve, I just had to revise everything. I remember say light no dey that night self. Mathematics, English, Verbal reasoning, Quantitative analysis, Elementary science, Social studies and current affairs. I was ready, I can swear I slept late that night, probably 9pm. "Read the instructions carefully", "Farabale", "Concentrate", "Pray before you begin" amongst others were the final instructions from Mum and Aunti Tutu. The D-day Ijebu-Ode Grammar School!!! I had dreamt of schooling in you since I was in my mother's womb. Here I come, June 16th, 2000. I set out with my mum, we probably took a cab to Abeokuta road where my would-be Alma Mata sits. This was my second visit to the school, I once had a brief stint earlier in the year when I came to represent my school (Gloria Nursery and Primary School) at some quiz. The quiz was held at Olusegun Osoba block (beside the lawn court na.. we used to call it LONG court back then). I couldn't move beyond that small demarcation linking the hall to the admin block, because OUT OF BOUND was boldly written on it. I emerged fourth in the quiz, behind Saint Anthony, Grace day and one other school (I think Tasce). My home boy, Demola Adeleye also came to rrep his school... we were once in Gloria together. It was a preliminary, so ten pupils qualified. (Ejule Godspower included - one of my classmates that we lost in Jss1 Red) But this time, I was off to my venue; the now defunct dining. It was as noisy as expected, I mean, where you have hundreds of kids between the ages of 8 and 13 from numerous schools, expect noise, a lot of it. We went out to play nitiwa jare, since the exam didn't start on time. I could recognize some faces, most fondly that of my pal from school, Siyanbola Segun (R.I.P). I could notice some boarding student playing his flute in the former Jss3 block. We "was" grooving and having fun and all that. Before we knew it, question papers arrived and we scampered right back in, the noise was still on until Mr. Don't-be-silly came inside like an "army". Mr Akindele's loud voice was over the whole dining, everywhere (not everyone o ) hushed. We knew what to expect if we eventually resume. Welcome to Grammar school. The Exams went well. The dining's arrangement was in a way that we sat in two's on the bench facing another two boys. ( Oh! The school is boys only for those unaware). I remember sitting beside some dude named Bunmi. He told me of how his school in Sagamu (or Odogbolu... can't remember which) was on strike and all. He didn't end up in Grammar school like myself, I dunno why. After the paper, as instructed by Mum, I headed to the gate. But that statue of that dude, the one punching the keyboard keys in front of a monitor got my attention, as it did everybody's else. I still remember the words "citadel of knowledge" were visible around the monitor. We headed back home, and I think we trekked a distance or so, maybe we trekked from school back to our Ondo-Road home or something, can't remember. I had shaded the answers I submitted on the question paper and my sister marked. I got 70-something. Not good enough, I had a perfectionist-philosophy while growing up. I was frequently pushed to be the best and never miss a question. It still pays off, though I am no longer an academic freak. Results Don Commot o o o News making rounds months after said the results were out. One of our uncles (Uncle Gbenga) back in school went to check for us. I came eleventh. Unbelievable! Emi 11 ? Emiii The best student in the school? Eleventh? I mean, what happened to first position? Or at worst, top three. Wasn't good enough to me. But after getting enrolled as a student of Grammar School, it became good enough for the few months the list spent on the notice board, because I had to tell my class mates that I was number eleven. Tolu Ogunneye was third. Durojaiye Segun was first on that list. Non Nobis Domine. I still bless the heavens to have spent seventeen terms in Ijb's and Ogun state's greatest secondary school (go and eat yam and rice if you think otherwise) UP JOGS |

Politics / Open Letter To Professor Comfort Oluremi Sonaiya by funmo(m): 11:10pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
OPEN LETTER TO PROFESSOR COMFORT OLUREMI SONAIYA Her Excellency, It is with a sense of joy and gladness that I write you Prof. Despite the elections' result, I still congratulate you ma'am. I congratulate you because you stood up as a mother, politician and a concerned citizen, who deemed it fit to come to the fore in order to bring comfort to the great country of ours. I, for one, remain appreciative of your heroics. I salute your courage, dream and vision great Amazon. I remember when I first saw your bid for presidency late last year. I was not really surprised; you are not the first female to come out with the aim of contesting for the Aso rock seat. Only that you became the most populous female out of others. I only wanted to know what you had in stock for us, I was interested in the difference you wanted and wished to make. I read your interview with the punch newspaper, and I was moved. You made it clear what you wanted to do and I knew every part of your manifesto had substance. I decided to pitch my tent at your side, though I am non-partisan. Your Sahara reporter's webcast interview was the first time of me hearing you articulate your plans. That only solidified the sense of purposeful-leadership I had already attributed to you. I really didn't wonder much why you had no advert on TV. The moment you said on a channels TV programme that 30 seconds of a TV ad costs 500,000 Naira, I just knew I shouldn't even have wondered at all in the first place. But your presence on the social media is kind of commendable. KOWA party has a handful of Facebook likes and twitter followership: so it was obvious the publicity and campaign wouldn't be the biggest. Quality over quantity in terms of your ideas no doubt, but politics is a game of numbers and I knew those numbers weren't flooding to your side. I wish they could. Even though I knew you weren't going to win Prof., and you didn't, yet I feel you are a winner. You came out as a relatively unknown academician to contest for the highest seat. Only winners do stuffs like this. Your husband, children, grandchildren are proud of you - I don't know why I am speaking for them, but I know they are. Women all over the country that are aware of you are proud of you. Youths that belong to the cerebral school of thoughts are proud of you. Ma'am, you are a winner. I sincerely hope you don't go into oblivion as it is the wont of most less-popular presidential candidates. I hope so Prof. I wish you all the best in the future ma'am. And whenever I learn more French some day, I will write you a French letter. Forget it Prof., I am never learning German. Au revior P.S I couldn't vote for you, didn't get a pvc...long story Funmiloye Alani, the writer, is a graduate of mechanical engineering from Ladoke Akintola University of technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo state. He is an essayist, comic, and out-of-the-box thinker from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state. 2 Likes |
NYSC / Re: Inec To Pay Corpers 32,000 For Elections by funmo(m): 1:32pm On Mar 27, 2015 |
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES FOR NYSC MEMBERS DURING AND AFTER THE ELECTIONS (This piece is strictly for corpers : either part of the electoral officers or not, and anyone who has relations or friends serving at the moment, especially in the North and South-South - two areas with the top two presidential candidates) As the presidential elections draw near and near, the 2011 post-election violence won't stop coming to my mind. A lot of youth corpers were murdered in cold blood, allegedly because the present APC candidate lost. And as they say, history has a strange way of repeating itself, but God forbid this time around. But to be safe and to avoid stories that touch, corpers should make sure they do the following during and after the elections as applicable to their conditions. AVOID SHADY AND/OR ANY FORM OF ELECTIONS AND ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE(S) IF POSSIBLE LEAVE FOR YOUR HOME / BASE / HOUSE / TOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLOSE TO (A STONE THROW), OR IN THE ARMY BARRACKS FEW HOURS BEFORE THE FINAL RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED. I REPEAT, THE BARRACKS PLEASE BROADCAST TILL IT REACHES ALL SERVING CORPERS! A LIFE COULD BE SAVED 1 Like |
