A Beautiful Reunion for Unilag Mass Comm Class 84

They all walked in from their different abodes; some from Port Harcourt, Abuja, Calabar, and Ibadan; together with their colleagues resident in Lagos, they eventually converged at the Kofo Abayomi, Air Force Officers Mess, Friday, August 19, 2016 for the first of the series of planned reunion meetings, thirty-two years after they left school at the University of Lagos, Mass Communication Department, Akoka, Yaba.

It was all glitz, fanfare as the old boys and girls emerged from 4pm at the Victoria Island elitist Joint; it was outpouring of excitement as they met, hugged each other, shouting pleasantries.  The ladies Yinka, Jumoke, Rita, Onoye, Mope, all clad in resplendent attires while the men wore simple outfits.They simply overwhelmed with joy.

Chairman of the group, Olorogun Fred Okhwahwa set the ball rolling with opening prayers in the presence of big boys like Alhaji Raheem Adedoyin, a.k.a Oloriewe, Maj. Gen. Gbenga Jejeola, Oil Chief Ben Ziregbe, Zoo Specialists Raji, Barrister Bolade Opaleye, Dipo Adedeji, Kunle Ajayi, Eddy Oghenekaro, Bola Ojo, Olaitan, Tunde, etc. Veteran Lecturer, Dr Ralph Akinfeleye was also present.
Next day, Saturday, August 20, was more memorable.  It was a day, one of their members, Brig-Gen.  Jejelola Kareem, gave out his beautiful daughter Dr. Olalade  kabirat, in a classic wedding.  The wedding took place at the City of David branch of Redeemed Christian Centre at Ligali Ayorinde, while the train moved to the KFC Events Centre in Lekki, for the reception.


There, the setting turned electric, becoming a carnival of sort for the emotion drenched Class 84 colleagues who thronged the venue in massive support for their own.  Looking back now, this reunion may well set the pace for others to follow.

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams.

But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
