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.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets?
