Life without competition

By
By Afolabi Rachael


Life is not only about fashion, wearing fancy clothes and shoes; it is also about how or what you designed your life with. New designs are developed everyday. You used a particular one and you are already tired of it within a little time. When you design your life, then you can become the CEO of your life and then dictate your wants.
You don't have to procrastinate, or wait for anyone to design your life for you, because if you don't design your life, you may become outdated or loose your value. It is just like "if you don't decide what is best for you, someone else will decide for you"
So, why don't you take charge of your life? Those who inform you about new products will be the ones telling you when those products are not "in place." Instead of evaluating yourself based on what people say, why don't you focus on yourself? Because, if you focus too much on what people say about you, you will not listen to your mind about what the future is saying
The friends you are with today, you may not be with them later in life - Friends will come and go and there are myriads of people you are still to meet.
Why limit yourself to the tens that will lead you astray and prevent you from meeting those beneficial millions? Why are you scared of loosing them when they won't contribute any success to your life or add to your value? In fact anyone not adding to your value is a liability to your life Why inching to those making you feel depressed and at the same time making you feel inferior to the extent that you loose your self-esteem, and want to committ suicide or doing what papa and mama won't be happy to see or hear you do?
You have a long way to go, you have so many great things to achieve even apart from coming to O.A.U to obtain a Degree. There are a lot of people in this generation waiting for you to contribute to their success, there are lives attached to you and there are people waiting on you for their survival. Remember that inferiority is not equivalent to superiority. Focus and take charge of your life!
Always remember that your life depends on many things, but mostly on you, in your way of thinking

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM.

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
