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.

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear.   When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises.   It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair.   First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
