THE PANIC YEARS



 A panic to be perfect,

To have everything figured out before 30

A panic to stay ahead of the cost of living crisis, buy a house

All whist staying present because

“ you are only in your 20s once” remember?

A panic when people’s success on linkedin makes your stomach drop.

A panic when you’ve got no plans on Friday night,

But the rest of instagram stories does.

A panic to constantly self improve,to read more books, until reading more books becomes more of a chore than a hobby that you do just to tick off to do list.

A panic to make people proud and spend time with aging grandparents.

To keep up with trends, plan with friends, and skincare.

Quite frankly, I’m tired of panicking about the panic years, but I know I’m going to continue to panic about them anyway .

Roll call came next, with names called in groups: Napasites, Public Voice representatives, Executive members, and Parliamentarians. A few smiles filled the room as some names had to be called twice before responses were heard. The session also marked a significant moment as the newly appointed Treasurer took the oath of office.

THE LION

  "THE LION" it's a term used overtime to describe the doggedness and tenacity of previous speakers of the public administration house of parliament in delivering its constitutional duties and it has become a conventional norms going forward. On the 21st of December 2023 at the post graduate lecture theater the parliamentary sitting of the house held,  having in attendance quite a numerous number of students from different constituencies. The sitting which started on a cozy note with various financial updates from different offices ends up in a state of dilemma between the offices of the director of socials and the financial secretary of the department. This brought about their suspension as the both of them seem not to agree on some financial statement and documentation, therefore the house of  parliament in it's wisdom suspended the director of socials  (ADEDAYO ADEAGBO) and the financial secretary ( ADEBAYO WASIU)for a period of a week starting from the end of the...

Schooled in the Chemistry of Football: Public Administration Fails the First Test.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of excitement as the Department of Public Administration faced off against the Department of Chemistry in their opening game of the Great Ife Football League. The match began with intensity, as the Chemistry team launched a high press right from kickoff, signaling their determination to secure a win by any means necessary. The Public Administration team matched their intensity, leading to a fiercely competitive first half that ended in a goalless draw. The second half saw Public Administration creating several promising chances, largely through the efforts of their energetic winger, Mubby. Despite his relentless runs and skillful attempts to break through the defense, all efforts ultimately proved abortive, as Chemistry’s defense held firm. Public Administration struggled to convert their opportunities—a performance reminiscent of a certain team from the red half of Manchester. Chemistry finally broke the deadlock with a clinical strike from their rig...
