TRJ Souvenirs!!!

Alright guys, we're almost at our 3 year anniversary, and we've decided to reward everyone with souvenirs so they can all identify with the blog and all it's messages and vibe.

We've got pictures of the souvenirs below for you to choose, and in case you want a different color, or even design, you can also specify as well. Details will be shown more in this post...

October Rush (Part One - Him)

Him:

I had just come back to this academic prison yard yesterday. I would have loved to resume late, but then I would miss out on all the fresh meat in the school.

I couldn't trust the other boys in school to maintain themselves for long. It was hunting season - it was every lion for himself.

October Rush (Part One - Her)

DAY ONE:

Her:

It was the second day of resumption of the old students. They came like in an army triumphant.

Making noise everywhere

 

I should have known the first day he walked up to me that he was trouble. He came looking all fly, saying hi with a face like this:

Fire

I think it's weird to tell people that I want to "set them on fire".

Don't you? I mean. Really. What would YOU think, after hearing that? But before you keep getting any more wrong ideas, let me explain...

Bitter Like Pride

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”  ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

I used to hold grudges a lot when I was younger. Planning for Africa, what I would do to all those who hurt me.

Dark, desperate, damaging thoughts.
I would not let these thoughts of revenge go. No, no... I would not let a single person get away with hurting me, or betrayal. I would not let a single tear slip unremitted.

When The Carnival Came...

So on Thursday 4 weeks ago, the AMSA Social Director - Alex Omotoso, with his capable team, decided to throw some flavour into the soup that is medical life in Ido(ABUAD).

Here are a few highlights of the Super Duper Flavourfest.

First I'd like you to meet the organizers. The spices.

Girls and Football - The ABUAD Edition

I was on the field the other day because my college members had been set to play football - both the male and female teams. I was quite curious as to how the female team would play and where they would play for that matter as well - seeing as my school only had one "official" football field. I later found out that same day - when i had gone to the field - that the girls were going to play on an improvisation of a field drawn on the grass, with paintwork. I had to say I was somewhat dissatisfied and disappointed with the effort,  but what could I do? I had come to watch the game and watch the game I would.

The match started off soon after, and for many people in my college, ended almost immediately soon after. The opposing team scored two goals within the first five minutes of the game. Now - I'm not at all an ardent watcher of  soccer/football (whichever you prefer to call it) but i know that when you're watching a football match you normally shout and scream - either to support your team or make fun of the other. My college was almost quite literally speechless. No football fanny soul would call that silence anything but unnerving.

The Rival

Have you ever had a competitor in something? If you're saying no, and you're a human being, then I'm not exactly sure if I have any good news for you, or maybe you just don't know. The truth is ever since we've existed, even before our birth we've competed.

You've competed with the other spermatozoa to get to that fertile egg.

You've competed with your siblings for food, toys and attention.

You've competed with life issues for survival each day.

You even compete with gravity - every day that you stand up again.
