THANK YOU UNIZIK
It was five years ago wen I walked in thru Ifite gate of the University. I had my doubts_ d muddy untarred road(then) leadin 2 d school gate, n d rows of ancient unkept forests spread across d capus, didn't exactly
make d best of impressions on me(if u get my drift). So I had wondered if I hadn't made a terrible mistake. I wondered why I hadn't simply chosen Unilag(as I was comin frm Lag). Indeed, I wondered 'if anytin gud cud com out of Ifite'. As I mark my birthday 2moro, 5 years down d line, I hv com 2 discover dt chosin Unizik was 1 of d best decisions I've eva made.
Som time ago I took up a fight for d welfare n gud interests of d students. D consequences of dat gud fight, at a time, seemed so fierce as if it would consume me. But u rallied around me. All of u, d great zikites! In d end, it was a successful fight, cos our aims were achivd, our demands were granted, n u helped me survive d backlash from those who considered their toes stepped on. At a point I was nearly expelled 4 leadin dat jst fight, bt ur collective voices ensured my triumph. Som ppl think me a hero for dat, bt I tel u, u, d great zikites, r d real heros, cos u r d makers of a hero.
As I wait 2 mark my birthday 2moro, two months b4 I'm done wth my journey 2 Unizik, I'm filled wth nolstalgia. More aptly, I'm full of thnks 2 u all, my co-travellers(zikites), my ever faithful frnds, suporters, and even 2 those whose toes were stepped on, 4 letin me live.
4 carving out of me a person capable of honor, n 4 dat overwhelming respect u've continued 2 show me, I say THANK U UNIZIK.
May we continue 2 remeber...
