My first semester in the university

...Registration...Orientation...Freshers' Official Party...Lectures...
Matriculation...Strike...End of Strike(aaaargh!!!)...Mid-Semester Exams...
Revision week...End of Semester Exams...Vacation :D
 I recall asking a lot of university students how university was like back then when I completed senior high school and was waiting for my results.I heard things like: "There's so much freedom in the university" ,"You don't even have to go for lectures","University is all about the parties,more chilling."

To tell you the blatant TRUTH: University is nowhere like all they told me.It is rather the OPPOSITE..Yeah,that's the truth.There might be freedom to some extent but how much?Lectures might not be compulsory but did I inform you about the hell I went through for missing just one lecture?

The fun part of the university is quite indispensable:Matriculation day,where all of us where gallantly dressed and eager to be called first year students;the parties;church activities;hall socializing and many others.

The strike period also set it and honestly,it did help people like me to relax and refresh my body from previous weeks of hectic lectures.Almost everybody didn't want the strike to end because we were now so comfortable and laziness was taking the better part of us.Quite unexpectedly,the lecturers' arrears were settled by the government and before our laziness level aggravated,we were back inside the classroom learning vectors and mechanics.LOL.

Examination last semester was an abnormal one(seriously).Instead of using one whole month,we used less than two weeks.Severe stress set in especially for those who offered more than ten courses.

Well,at least I have a smile on my face.After all,so many people are not privileged to be in the university like you and me.We thank God for a very successful semester and for bringing us all safely from diverse places back home to celebrate Christmas with our families.

How did your first semester go?
Feel free to share it in the comment section below.

WANDE COAL SAYS THE NUDE PICTURE IS NOT HIM!

A few days ago,there were was so much fuss about Wande Coal being nude in a picture that spread all over the internet.This is the official statement from Mohits on Wande Coal's Nude picture saga:

SOMEBODY IS AFTER WANDE COAL-MOHITS
It has come to our notice that a purported nude picture of Wande Coal is being circulated on social networking site, Twiter and that made him a trending topic yesterday and early hours of today.

Wande is very grateful to those who have shown him love and as well to those who were constructive in their criticisms. He is saying a massive THANK YOU.

We also want to state categorically that there is nothing wrong or to be ashamed about being naked BUT THE PICTURES IN QUESTION ARE NOT THOSE OF WANDE COAL, the multiple Hip Hop World Award winner. That is not him and that can never be him.

It is worthy of note to let you know that the rising star has been a target of orchestrated attacks in past months. Few months ago false reports of him being treated in a psychiatric home were widely circulated even when he was busy performing in shows in Nigeria and around the world. Later, another report of him slapping a fellow in a club was initiated by some faceless people as well, a report which was false in its entirety. Last year it was also reported that he slapped 9ice during an argument, a report 9ice himself denied. Now, it is a false naked picture that is being used.

We have reason to believe that the person behind these nude pictures is the same person(s) behind earlier negative and false stories. Therefore, we are no longer taking the matter lightly. Appropriate security agencies have been briefed and investigations are on-going so as to ascertain true identity of the culprit and bring him or her to book.

Wande would also like to appeal to his numerous fans to keep calm and assure them that he won’t stop making good music, love them and keep right in all his doings.

Please for further enquiries, interviews, clarifications and quote please contact Sunday Are on 08033480122 or Bigsam Media on 08028302862 or email bigsam@bigsam.org.

ANGELINA JOLIE WILL BE IN GHANA THIS WEEKEND

Information reaching the News-One newspaper has it that Angelina Jolie, the one-time most powerful Hollywood woman on earth, is arriving in the country today(July 15). The popular actress and some other international stars will be visiting Ghana for the first time on a United Nations (UN) assignment.

She will this weekend be attending some high profile events in Ghana, some of which are scheduled to take place in the State House, African Regency Hotel and the plush Citizen Kofi entertainment spot.

But for all the strange reasons one can think of, the Hollywood goddess’ coming to town is being kept under wraps, and indications are that her United Nations Development Programme (UNDCP) organizers don’t want to make any fuss about it, perhaps as a top surprise to Jolie’s fans in Ghana. Jolie according to deep sources will be attending Kenny Gee’s Ball at the State House on Friday and an after party at Citizen Kofi.,

On Saturday, she will also be hosted at the African Regency hotel as part of the same high profile event. Time and other details of her arrival are still being kept away from curious minds. Jolie is United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and has been touring Third World Countries, calling for greater international attention and assistance to needy countries.

DID NASARA OF GHANA MOST BEAUTIFUL REALLY STEAL THE PHONE?

A recent report in the media alleges that Miriam Abdul Rauf (Nasara) of Ghana Most Beautiful fame,2009 stole a phone belonging to Miss UK at the just ended Miss earth pageant.

After the theft,a chance was given to anyone who had mistakenly taken the items to return them to avoid disgrace.But no one did.
 
The mobile number of Miss UK was dialled and the phone was heard ringing in Nasara's bag.The beauty make-up kit was also found in her bag.
 
According to ghanacelebrities.com,Nasara's manager,Chief Hafiz,had confirmed the rumour to be true.He had to travel to the UK after the incident to sort things out and had to spend $250,000 to avoid further embarrassment.

In my opinion,this could have been a set-up for Nasara.For all we know,some might have placed the stuff in her bag so that she would be embarrased.

However,if she really did it,then I'm just feeling bad for her because she has really disgraced herself and her country.

WAS THE PHONE-OFF DAY DEMONSTRATION WORTH IT?

Let's be honest here,how many people put off their phones on May 27?Well,I didn't and I know you also didn't because we didn't see the point behind the protest. After all,the estimated USD 6million that was anticipated to be lost by the telecommunication companies is peanuts to them.And who said the lost that much after the protest?

In an attempt to present the grievances and complaints of consumers to the telecommunication networks in the country,a 6-hour phone of day was organised.Everyone was supposed to put off his phone last Thursday from 6 a.m to 12 p.m.

On the said date,the protestors mostly made of students stormed the streets of Accra with placards like"MTN, Tigo, Kasapa, Vodafone and Zain, the value is the same" and "azaa text promotions".

It was even amazing that some of the protestants themselves didn't even put off their phones.Afterall,it's their phones that they use as primary means of communication.

In my opinion,the "Ghana Off Phone Day" was a step in the right direction,just that it was quite an unrealistic approach because people wouldn't want put off their phones.

We use our hard-earned money to purchase credit and also use some for their fake promotions therefore the  telecommunication companies(MTN,Tigo,Vodafone,Kasapa and Zain) are mandated to provide excellent services.

What do you think?Are the telecommunication industries living up to expectation?

IS SARKODIE POPULAR THAN PRESIDENT MILLS?

According to Sarkodie,Ghana's fastest rapper,"people listen to him more than the president of Ghana".
He made this statement at the press launch of Vodafone's concert last friday to commemorate vodadone's 1st anniversary in Ghana.

A report from peacefmonline.com states that Sarkodie made this statement,“You know what time it is, I mean people listen to me much more than the president himself because it is Sarkodie everywhere you go...So I think I am the right person to speak to Ghanaians. I am on board particularly because I think you did that for the people."

“I roam the whole of Ghana playing shows in Kumasi and everywhere for free, I do a lot charity works so for this one I just took some few coins from vodafone because they can’t really pay me...,” he explained.

Well,Ghanaians are not happy with Sarkodie's statements at all and the fact that he won so many awards doesn't mean he should be proud.But we still love him though because it's always one time for your mind.

Anyway,he recently apologized to his fans by making a song,you could listen to it myjoyonline

020 LIVE CONCERT WAS A BLAST!

Vodafone's one year celebration in Ghana dubbed 020 live concert
was a BLAST!With popular artists like Sarkodie,Wande Coal,P-square,Ruff N Smooth,Richie,4X4 and others in the building made it a show worth writing home about.The show held on Saturday 22 May at the Accra International Conference Centre also was the launch of Vodafone's World of Difference programme in Ghana.

The concert was a good one but the problem some people had was with the sale of the tickets.Afterall,we are helping them celebrate their anniversary so it should have been free.However,it didn't stop people from attending and was a successful RED concert.

Ghanaians will like to congratulate Vodafone on a successful first year of operation in the country.
We also looking forward to excellent products and great operations from them to maintain our patronage.

SHOULD CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS BE BANNED FROM FACEBOOK?

Facebook is undoubtedly the most visited website ever,even bypassing search engine giants,Google.
Even though facebook minimum age requirements is 13 years,we cannot deny that even 7 yr-olds are on facebook.LOL.
It's not like the facebook team can check everyone's birth certificates which makes children to use a false age to access the site.

Children under 18 years are found facebooking most of the time chatting with friends,commenting on photos and so many more.
Honestly,there are a few teenagers who use facebook for project work,school event planning and homework help.But how many are they anyway?

The question now is,should children under 18 years be banned?

In my opinion,children under 18 years should be banned from facebook because of the following reasons:

1.DISTRACTION FROM SCHOOL WORK.

2.WASTE OF TIME.

3.IDENTITY THEFT AND LACK OF CONTROL.

4.RISK OF BEING BULLIED.

5.SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERNET FRAUD AND SCAMS.

6.RISK OF BEING HARMED BY PEDOPHILES.

On the other hand,banning children from facebook completely will make their curious minds to resort to some bad and porn sites.
And afterall,it is a social network,therefore it's meant for everyone to make new friends and learn from others.
What do you think?Should children under 18 years be banned from facebook?

GT BANK STUDENTS DISCOUNT CARD-A BETTER WAY TO SAVE

Summer vacation is underway and we are trying our best to save little bits
of money for next semester(more chilling :D).
Well,there is good news!

Guaranty Trust Bank(GT Bank) is making it possible for students to enjoy
great discounts from supermarkets,clubs and shops in the country via the
Students Discount Card.

FEATURES OF THE STUDENTS DISCOUNT CARD
1.It can be used on all VISA-labelled ATM machines and Point of Sale terminals in the country.
2.Free internet banking,SMS banking and 24-hr access to your money.
3.High interest bearing savings account.
4.50% discount on school fees drafts made at the bank.

Despite the numerous advantages of the card,most of the discount facilitiesbwould benefit students in Accra more than those outside Accra.The reason is that,most of the merchant outlets are based in Accra,for example,Blazing Gear,Aphrodisiac Night Club,Spendstre Fotoshop(Accra Mall).

Also,for the school fees discount scheme,it might depend on your school.University of Ghana,for instance,accepts banker's draft from only Standard Chartered Bank and Ecobank(international students).
KNUST also accepts drafts from a few selected banks.

So all in all,I think the students discount card is a good investment for students as it could inculcate the habit of savings whilst enjoying other great benefits.

Only students above 16 years can apply for the card at any of their branches
or online at their website.
