I have seen two successful SRC week celebrated on campus. The KANTONG, the MAJEED and yet to see how ALL IS WELL will go down in the history books of SRC week celebrations of UDS WA campus. This year’s SRC so far has seen some what changes.
Candles night (one of my favorite activities), the first activity of the week celebration as usual started off at KG. The enthusiasm was high. Everyone one of us who were present sang and danced to the tune of the brass band so passionately that, one could be tempted to think we were doing thanks and praises in the church. Soon enough we started our long but fun journey. This time, we were not to return to KG as we usually did, we were to end it up at the jubilee park in town.
As we matched, my eyes spotted two black ugly naked asses of some guys who I assume were languishing in a state of mental unstableness as a result of the alcohol and weed they must have taken before the walk. I say this because no one in his right state of mind will do this. I am not surprised though because I have seen worse in the previous SRC weeks. The difference however is- this madness is usually done on the day of “go crazy” and not candles night. I must admit however that this is what makes WA SRC week distinct from the other campuses.
Soon enough, we got to the jubilee park where we were greeted with loud music which threw the entire crowed into the azonto, the alkayda and the shoki mood. Let me admit that it was today I realize my dancing skills were superb. I think I will win hands down if I competed in a dance battle. lol
As we danced our hearts and heads off, I could hardly remember how stressful the trime has been. I am certain many other couldn’t too. Little did I remember that I had a midtrime at 7am the following morning. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard behind me. The bond fire had been lite. This was the first of its kind since my 3years stay on campus. It was a plus to the planning committee of the week celebration and I commend them for that.
All this notwithstanding, I share a personal view that the program was not as interesting as the previous ones. It appears the interesting nature of the week celebration is drifting away by the years. The kantong led week celebration was more interesting and fun than that of the Majeed led. And the Majeed led more than the candles night on Sunday.
What I find wrong with the planning committee was that, it appears they virtually did not consider several factors before taking certain decisions. I saw with my very own eyes students walking alone all the way from the jubilee park to areas like kpagure (upland junction), maaho (maxisco), some as far as old campus. It is not surprising that RABI (RABI SOBOLO) a SRC women commissioner hopeful got robbed and leg broken on her way home from the program. I have also heard that students also had to walk all the way to Bamahu at that ungodly hour. I wouldn’t be wrong if I said the planning committee total did not consider security and transportation issues in their planning. I wouldn’t bore u further because a whole review of the week celebration will follow suit in due course.
As we prepare for the “all mighty go crazy”, let me remind you that education doesn’t only mean studying theories and passing exams. It also means your ability to adapt to issues of socialization and entertainment. Our university tales will be that of boring ones if it should lack stories of entertainment. This is your opportunity to socialize and release yourself from the stress of academic work. Remember “all work and no play, makes jack a dull boy”.
You are however entreated to be careful as much as possible because the world is too interesting and fun to die now. Lol. Good luck and let’s go craaaaaaaazy!!!
