WELCOME TO THE SECOND SEMESTER.

The second semester of every academic year in almost every tertiary institution is one that everybody looks forward to.

In my opinion, the second semester could be described as the most tedious yet interesting one.
This second semester would probably be no different from the ones that have passed with regards to activities involved.

Welcome to the second semester at GIJ.
Where we all are looking forward to electing new leaders to steer the affairs of the SRC.

Welcome to the second semester, where every aspirant AUTOMATICALLY becomes a writer and a motivational speaker.
We can only pray for long life for our phones and whatsapp to be able to receive and read all of such messages.

Welcome to the second semester where all aspirants will be at the beck and call of students.

Welcome to the second semester. The semester where aspirants automatically become parents to students.
Willing to buy anything and everything for students even when they've not asked for it.

The semester where students will demand for bottled water from aspirants instead of the normal sachet water they drink.

Don't forget that it is also the semester where some students will demand for money  for transportation from aspirants before they come to vote on election day.

Welcome to the second semester where a would be SRC executive becomes overly friendly.
Giving handshakes and hugs, morning afternoon and evening.

Where aspirants are seen in school seven(7) days a week.
Welcome to the second semester where aspirants are the first to open the school gates and the last to leave.

Welcome to the second semester where lots of promises will be made by aspirants.
Some which might take eternity to be fulfilled.

Welcome to the second semester. Where friendships and relationships will be formed as a result of the elections.
Where friendships and relationships will break because of this same reason.

Don't forget the rumors, propaganda and lies.
The second semester where you would hear lots of stories about aspirants.
One probably no one would have heard if they had stayed in their corner.

Welcome to the second semester at GIJ where aspirants will befriend 'influential' people on campus with the hope of winning elections with their support and help.


Not forgetting their way of dressing.
Ironed handkerchiefs, neatly polished shoes, official wears, ties......etc etc.






WELCOME TO THE SECOND SEMESTER!
