I have turned my frustration into writing after
watching the black stars put up a worse performance at the ongoing AFCON 2015
in Equatorial Guinea.
However it’s just the 3rd week since we
reopened school and the 5th day since the blog was created and
current idling about I decided to give a rundown of a typical harmattan
trimester on Wa campus. This trimester will have three aspects students would
have to contain. For the “sharks”, they might just see one or two aspects but
for the kubolors, kankpes and yeri yeri like myself and two partners it would
be all 3 and I know by now you would be asking what 3 aspects thus this dusty
and under-infrastructure university has that this guy is bla-bla about. Well
worry no more because the rundown is here : Academic’s, Entertainment and
Student politics.
ACADEMICS:
It’s the shortest and longest aspects of all-how?
After registering in the first week, you pause then you forget it till it’s the
8th-10th week when mid-trimesters are conducted and from
then you only waiting for the last two weeks for exams. Indeed this is the
aspect every student participate in, from the rich to the poor, strong to the
weak, sharks and zuuku and also student leaders and followers. This is the only
aspect the sharks know and love meanwhile its mission number 1 and we all need
to take it serious.
ENTERTAINMENT
:
For me the premium source of entertainment this
trimester will be the ever entertaining SRC week which comes off from the 22nd
-28th of February which will see students at that period at their
very best. There are 2 stand out days, Sunday and Thursday which is the candle
night and the float better known as “go crazy” respectively. Expect HEAT
SEEKERS blog to bring you live the happenings. I am not the usual party type
like Shadow and Breezy but for SRC week this party "gbees" can’t match me. But
before the SRC week celebration, there’s the crazy jeans party, then the
seekers party and I expect a party from
my Tamale folks, the Logans to spring another big one.
My brother Beejar will be happy to add that one to
the SRC week because he won’t be with us in the next academic year. In the meantime,
HEAT SEEKERS is compiling for you the parties so expect the Legendary
Party-Alhaji to bring to you the party rundown next week. We would also see
birthdays upon birthdays that would keep my niggarman Yasir busily organizing
and on motor bikes running the less busy streets of Wa to make sure everybody
attends. Sometime in February, we will see Salim(Pralem) text us for a
birthday, then my own Uncle of life Shadow and his destined paddy man for life
Osei all having birthdays in April but the problem is the Party Alhaji himself
won’t want to celebrate his but will just be hiding it because “block no dey”.
In between, expect Coded and Faris to flood your facebook timeline with
pictures of events.
STUDENT
POLITICS:
It is at this point that friendship made over years
is broken within minutes, people we respect get disgraced and my own Abu Soof
knows how fats are burnt in this period. Yes not even the speedometer of your
‘kombian’ motor cycle can save your ass. We have reach that time where students
will elect people to spend their money. Spend their money? That was a slip of
pen, mean to manage their affairs because somehow I would be part of those
contesting but it won’t be with the SRC but rather TESCON……go find the meaning
and leave me alone. Campus politics cuts across religions, tribes and regions.
Well I just hope in the end we conduct this in a civil manner that would speak
well of a better future ahead but for now I would just stick to the saying of
my good friend Chancellor, “when the race begins” and make it clear that, right
after vetting, I will officially declare my choice and support the person.
