Second Semesters And The "Àiyè Ò Fè" Reality- Pope Jay

Many were the adventures of my first year in the University. As a young abecedarian, I tried as much as possible to become the master of my new environment: I did my best to learn everything; the way to talk and the way not to, the way to walk, the way to look and practically the way to do anything that would save me from the uniformed state in which I was; a state that was so identifiable it even had a taunting nomenclature that accompanied it. The worrisome part of this unavoidable malady of the mind and a factor which actually motivated my attempts to remedy it was that, contrary to popular belief, it could actually transcend one’s first year as a student. I mean, even at the time, I had come across several ignorami who hid under the “FYB” guise and tried to mask their benighted mind with the amount of years they had spent in the university campus.

I did not plan to remain a “bloody fresher” in my sophomore year and even though my efforts at adaptation were hindered by my tight schedule in the first semester, the second semester came with a more lenient timetable. And so I did as much as I could, I was almost at everything; from this department’s week to that Faculty’s day, from this conference to that ceremony and indeed, the “item 7” that often came along with these programmes was also a strong motivating factor. But looking back now, I believe the greatest lesson that came in all my efforts was the reality of the “Àiyè ò fè” concept.

“Àiyè ò fè” is a Yoruba clause that can be literally translated to mean “There is not much space” or better still in the context of its popular use in the Obafemi Awolowo University Campus; “There is no time”. As simple and comical as the three-worded clause may seem, I believe it may carry one of the most important messages that one needs to thrive as a student on the OAU campus.

Time is one concept that although man has been able to successfully quantify, he still has very limited control over. Like Diabetes and some other incurable diseases, we cannot alter it or its flow, we can only manage it. Maybe the entire idea of time management is established on this concept… or maybe not.

Many stale students of OAU would agree that Second semesters are usually very crowded with events, from Elections to other departmental and religious programmes to handing over office. And already, this one is already looking quite eventful, posters and banners are already flying around both the online and offline community. But then again, like I have seen over the years, the “Àiyè ò fè” phenomenon has already started to come to come to reality again.

How else does one describe the fact that we resumed school just yesterday and the 6th Academic Week starts tomorrow?

NASELS OAU Hosts Editorial Head of The Nation Newspapers, Sam Omatseye

 On Thursday, 12^th January 2017, the National Association of Students of English and Literary Studies of the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife, hosted veteran journalist, writer and public affairs analyst in her symposium. The symposium, which was held at AUD 2 in the University campus, featured a review of Omatseye’s book; “My name is Okoro” and a book reading from the author himself. The book was reviewed by public affairs analyst; Ademola Adesola who appreciated the author’s use of fiction in telling the Nigerian reality.

Professor Gbemisola Adeoti

 In the course of his reading, Mr Omatseye stated that the gruel Nigerian Civil war of the mid-nineties had not been won as successive governments had not made a rational decision to solve and settle it. He also encouraged students of the department to continue to be creative and diligent, keeping in mind the very motto of the Association; “Creativity In Development”.

The Head of the Department of English, Professor Okuneye, cordially welcomed Mr Omatseye, stating the important role of the alumni body in any educational institution. The Head of the Editorial Board of The Nation Newspaper was also welcomed by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Professor Gbemisola Adeoti, who further went on to appreciate the executives of the association for organizing such a programme.

In his address, the president of the Association, Mr Afeez Gbadamosi, stated that the programme was one birthed from an attempt to revive the reading culture as, quoting the words of Professor Aina, shared reading was a way to reviving the rapidly dying reading culture. 

Some of the other dignitaries present at the event were Professor Chima Anyadike, Professor Wale Adegbite, Professor Rotimi Taiwo, Dr Omigbule, Dr Kehinde Ayoola, Dr Uwazomba amongst others. There was also a drama presentation from the NASELS Drama Troupe and several poetry renditions to entertain the audience.

Breaking: MMM Resumes Operations, Gives Terms To Members

Following a month of frozen mavro wait, the popular Ponzi scheme, MMM has resumed operations in Nigeria. Participants can now get help and provide help.

See the Release some minutes ago.

We are now open!!! 😊)
Dear members,

The holidays are over, and we''re now open. Just as promised. (You might have already noticed that we always stick to our promises. 😊) Actually, we promised to be open on January 14, but we''re open now, January 13, as you can see, which is a day earlier. (Well, I hope, the members of the System will forgive us for that. 😊)

It''s related to the hysteria raised by the authorities and the mass media around MMM. By joining forces, they''ve managed to nearly give the members of the System a heart attack and have frightened them out of their wits. Poor souls don''t know what to expect. Will we open again or not? 😊)

This is why we''ve decided, considering the situation, to reach out to the members, reassure and cheer them up by opening a little earlier. After all, Together We Can Change The World! 😊)

Here we go.

1. As of this notice, MMM resumes its usual operation. You can now create your GH-requests.

2. However, it''s obvious that panic will reign in the first few days after the re-opening of the System. We’re likely to be deluged by GH-requests. Therefore, we''re going to make gradual paybacks by setting internal output limits. In other words, we will only pay a certain amount per day. Please, be prepared to wait for a couple of days. We are certain things will then calm down, and the System operation will return to normal.

We''re the ones setting the limits, so it''s completely under our control, and we are not expecting any emergencies in principle. Have no fear and go on about your business as usual. 😊)

As the System is socially oriented, we will make paybacks to the poor and the economically disadvantaged in the first place: it means to the members with small PH amounts. The richer can wait. Moreover, we''ve warned you repeatedly to only provide help with amounts that are not critical for you. Therefore, if these large amounts are not critical for them (the richer), they can wait a few days. No need to be tragic about it. 😊)

This is the way it''s going to be.

Hoping for your kind understanding, Sergey Mavrodi. We Change The World!

P. S. I''d like again to call on the authorities and the mass media: Please, leave us alone! Have mercy on people.

Get Help Worldwide Registration, Login & How It Works

“Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles,” & “The speed of your success is limited only by your dedication and what you're willing to sacrifice” ― Nathan W. Morris

Just like someone wrote, many walk pass opportunities without recognizing them, and that was how I ignored several invitations to become a pioneer member of MMM Nigeria and I called it scam and said it was a networking business. As of now, the government has continued to discourage people from partaking in the scheme because it is a bubble and a ponzi scheme, but the bitter truth is that, those who started early enough in the previous year, 2016 have their financial freedom testimonies to share. To break jaws, MMM went on break in December and has proved critics wrong by a promised gallant return this January.

[TO REGISTER CLICK HERE or visit http://goo.gl/Ta9bTk]

Are you selling MMM to me? No, I have taken time to study its operation and I noticed some parts of its structure that would make it not too sustainable. Parts of those lapses are too many people enjoy unnecessary benefits, ones money is tied down for too long (30 days) and loose regulations guiding participating members and their enforcement.

All of these have been corrected and improved on in ‘Get Help Worldwide’. Before you shrug and say, which ponzi scheme is this again?, I want to tell you emphatically and authoritatively that it is VERY real and working. I registered in December and wanted to be sure of what I was told too. I have friends who have been into this since last year October and they are making the promised MONEY!!! Bonus: Infact, once you register via the link I will drop, I will share with you the secret on how you can get paid about 3 times in a month with single unit money. For example, if you have just N50,000... You’ll get the percentage increase three times within 30 days. It is very real!

Now let me introduce you to Get Help Worldwide (GHW)
GHW is a community of people providing each other financial help on the principle of gratuitousness, reciprocity and benevolence. In GHW you don’t have to make contracts or pledge your property, there are no lenders and no debtors. Everything is very simple: One participant asks for help – another one helps.

The only thing that GHW demands from its participants is to be honest and kind to each other. You ask for financial help when you need it, you give financial help when you are able to do it.

[TO REGISTER CLICK HERE or visit http://goo.gl/Ta9bTk]

How does it work?
After you register, you create the willingness to provide help and your order will be created, your money start growing immediately, it takes GHW about 20 – 25 days to match you with a participants when you will pay the person and get confirmed and when your order gets to 30 days you can create an order to get help and you will be matched within 1 hours of creating the order. Note: What this means is that your money will only be out of your hand for just 5 – 10 days.

Interest
For local currency (Naira), you’ll get 30% increase in 30days including the days you waited before you got matched.

For Bitcoin, you’ll get 50% increase including the days you waited to get matched.

Registration Bonus Ranges for Local Currencies are as Follows;
(1.) 4,000 Registration Bonus — if you have contributed from 15,000 to 149,000.
(2.) 10,000 Registration Bonus — if you have contributed from 150,000 to 649,000.
(3.) 20,000 Registration Bonus — if you have contributed from 650,000 and above of your Local Currency.

GUIDERS/SPONSORS Bonuses
Like I said earlier, this is one flaw in MMM that GHW has corrected, there are NO Guiders/Sponsors in this Platform. This platform has been DESIGNED TO LAST FOREVER and therefore does not support the excess payout privileges of Guiders which drains the system.

The System ONLY Supports/Allows REPRESENTATIVES who are given extra 5%-10% of their Provide Help Offer in Addition to their 30% if they are participating in Local Currency or 50% if in Bitcoin in 30 days depending on how hardworking they are.
