MY ‘EMOCLEW’ MESSAGE TO YOU...


Upon entering the LBS environment - or a little bit further into the classroom say on your first day on the brush-up programme...I imagine your first thought(s) being;

‘wow’
This was same for someone like me who, prior to LBS, had never been in such an organised and beautiful classroom… and remembering the several occasions that I missed my way around school, setting out for the ladies room but ending up at the gazebo. The structure is overwhelming believe me.

‘Amma dress to kill’
True for those of you, like yours truly, who love to look good and ‘scatter’ all the boys’ heads

‘I’ll show them who the genius is’
Of course there’ll be those of you, like our dear AdeB, who are so knowledgeable and can’t wait to prove it...be informed, this guy knows something about everything

‘I just want to build relationships’
Some of you who, like our Christie-mama, love everyone and everyone… you will find deep bonding here

‘I just want to be a stress medicine to all’
This goes for anyone who, like our Pastor Samuel, revels in whooping it up (hehehe!!!) When you are tensed and need to de-stress, I recommend a 2minutes chat with Sammy or even when you need a few humorous lines to win a girl over *grins*

‘I want to carve out a niche for myself’
For our various subject gurus who know the mic will never be upturned from them...the likes of Seun Remi-Adegoke, Thelma, Kelechi yellow, Sir Kenny, Terseel… see them for all the accounting ledgers you need balanced. On to Kelechi black (our very own bobo master), Kayinsola,  AdeB again(I told you he is so knowledgeable), Biggy Chu, Ahudiya, Ozzy mama, Chinyere, and Christie again… embrace them for all the lessons you need on making the perfect, sensible, detailed and relevant responses. They sure catch attention every time!

(P.S “Bobo”, you will soon come to understand *wink*, is a term used to describe jargon put together in intelligent sentence construction).

Next up is the only Peterside in the house, how blessed we are to have this dude...for all the political, socio- economic analysis and gist you may need and remember this name when Dr. Doyin Salami comes knocking in 2nd semester bombarding you with assignments, tasking you with gathering data you’ll never find. Othuko is his cohort; together they make a formidable well of economic knowledge.
(P.S they are very nice to guys too although to girls more)

My ‘emoclew’ welcome message is neither intended to be academic nor technical; neither did I intend it to be hypomanic; but to be funnily volcanic and antigenic; in this case stimulating interest on your part to mingle. MBA degree from LBS is a beautiful gift (even though you are paying for the services). MBA 11 is a more beautiful gift than you bargained for… the most beautiful add-on in the package. Amidst this clan are the most versatile beings planet earth has ever birthed.  Herein lay motivators, inspirers, builders, helpers, confidants, tutors, mothers, fathers, partners, comedians, and all the good things you could ever think of.
A lot can be said about our experiences in and out of the classroom, more than can ever be penned on paper or typed on MS-Word; but hopefully, after you have been awakened to the gift surrounding you by this little piece, you’ll be stirred to interact.
I urge you all therefore to INTERACT. LEARN. GIVE of your time and RECEIVE.

Congratulations once again and welcome on board!

Yours in the System,
Oyinlola Sobowale

  2. A nice portrait...aptly captured. An imagery of people with their own minds. A deliberate conviction targeted at those of us out here to come join or perhaps have a look.
