icon8: Very well then...I'll be as brief as possible.

I started out as a keen follower of events, having discovered my natural dislike for injustice (suffice to state I have an incurable penchant for challenging the status quo). After one year of understudying the campus activism terrain and trends, I decided to take a shot at the Students' Parliament (known then as the SRC). The victory was a landslide and my first sitting in the parliament was not without events, as I had crammed the entire constitution over the week leading to the sitting, as well as some big big grammar to announce my foray into activism. That earned me some accolades and instant approval cum followership within the "house" membership and amongst observers. That was to mark the beginning of a long spell in the parliament, spanning three parliamentary sessions, the last of which saw me becoming the "House Leader" (I had become the "Majority Leader" the previous year).

Two years later, I was to become the "Speaker" of the House, but my gut feelings told me to rather take a shot at the "Presidency". I followed my instincts and vied but lost the presidential election in a controversial manner (that would be a long story for another day). I returned to the Parliament as the House Leader, this time representing my hostel constituency (as against representing my department as was the case in the previous two sessions). I was only in the parliament that session to while away time and re-strategize for the next election which came too sudden. I re-contested for the Presidency and won convincingly, as the vote cast for me alone was more than twice the sum of the six other aspirants' votes put together. My Presidency wasn't without its challenges (from the authorities, opposition, community, NPF, SSS, etc), but I'll say it was largely a success. I stepped down after a year (at the expiration of my tenure), although I was unable to hand over to a successor, as the election conducted to elect a successor was deadlocked, and the "Union" was subsequently proscribed! *SAD*

Uhmmm.... Thanks!

I never believe some people could be so daf.t, this is one of the most reasonable posts on Nairaland for christ sake, yet some people are just saying rubbish. In fact, I now realise some youth brains have turn upside down.
@OP, thumbs up, jawe. And others who have commented so well.

I'm looking towards the day some youth will realise and begin to learn how to make money legitimately.

Thanks to those who commented.

ICON8: Okay, share your experience in campus activism. Thanks

Nonen: By now, I think you're done with the flashback. I'm earnestly in quest of knowledge and I believe you have enormous I could tap from.

Igbokwe Sampson: Thanks so much. If I may ask, as someone who has been through this, who would you advise someone going into it?
Thanks.

Abeg now, this is politics section which I know how vibrant it is. I was expecting to get more from the elders. By any means, the moderators - Afam, OAM4J would have knowledge of this. And also some other nairalanders who are household of this section.

Please I beg you to contribute, I have put so much trust on Nairaland that I would get more than the needed knowledge. Abeg contribute........

I really want to know what it takes to participate in campus politics. Please share your experience, knowledge, the pros and cons involved.
Thanks

I beg to digress. Is this chamber2 who used to post frequently on career section?

I follow them just because I always long to hear from them. Some Nairalanders are quite intelligent that I always wish to be like them.

To know who I follow, check for yourself.

HAPPY SUNDAY ALL

Never read this. It's indeed touching.
Pleased to know it.
Nice one!

My best psalm is between Psalm 51 and Psalm 4:
My favourite verse in Psalm 51: "Cast me not away from your presence or take your holy spirit from me
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and renew your steady fast spirit within me."
I use this when I know I have sinned and need to renew my relationship with Him.

My favourite verse in Psalm 4: " Many are saying, who can show us any good
Let the light of your face shine upon me, oh! Lord.......
I will lie down and sleep in peace, because you, Lord, make me dwell in safety."
This Psalm 4 is very good at night. Dem no born dat scary nightmare, u must conquer.

I only used Psalm 109 once when someone promise to deal with me. I no no if na witch, na so I begin dey recite psalm 109, at least if not for anything, it gives me the courage to tell the person to her face that, "You can't do 'shin gbain'. Lol....
