MY MBA EXPERIENCE by May Agoha


May Agoha, MBA 10

Hey guys, May here.                              

You must have seen me posed/ mentioned in some not-so-serious pictures but exciting & hawt pictures like I have seen myself. I have also seen others sampling their “serious-MBAish” pictures and mehn I’ve been looking for my own “serious-MBAish” picture but *clears throat*, I can’t shout.
So moving on…

My experience surely has been a fantastic one. In a class of 50 smart-as-hell individuals, there’s only one thing that can happen to you, you get smarter.

So I’m just going to summarize LBS in 7 short paragraphs;
The facilitators/ Personnel:  You can’t ask for a better bunch. With the drama that each of them bring to the classroom, you just have to find a way to humor yourself as you try to flow of course.

The Binders: The binders…..pause….the binders are …..Well, you will see for yourself in due course...hehehe. Enjoy!!!. But I must tell you, I read every gaddem page in those binders, very exciting stuff, all of it!!! You should too. Eh heh MBA 10…just respect yourselves oo, as you read this my binder true-story. After all, you were not in my room all those times when I was doing my binder vigils and had to pause my movies and even bail on all those parries. Hehehehe.  So MBA 11 peeps, you see, this is the only thing that our whiz kid and I share in common. *grins*

Azeezat Ajibola and May
The Food: Not that I like food that much, as you can see from my “agbani-state-of-mind” well, “state-of-body” in this case but I heard about the food during the information session, you know that gathering of potential ‘admitees’ and I knew I had to check it out for myself. It’s pretty good as you have witnessed for yourselves. Eh hehn, better smile back when the waiters start singing “ENJOY” in your ears and oh! Don’t miss anything that LBS calls a cocktail, the spicy snails are to die for…but please don’t pack in tissue to your houses ooo like I have heard some people do…*wink*, I know how tempting it can be. lol.

The Outings:  Well, I was looking forward to this part of the experience. You can’t kill yasef now, with all the brain damage that LBS will instill in the name MBA. Well, by the time you are done, half way at least I’m sure your phrases will be “if this is what brain damage is like, please let my brain damage every other day”. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s worth it after all. So I have tried to make myself available for EVERY outing the class has organized and it’s been swell in every case, with such an awesome bunch, you can’t help but have fun. So from me to you, getting away from all the work will not hurt you in any way, it actually is a relief plus you know what they say all work and no play, you grow bald in one day…gals inclusive- My quote. Hehe.

The Class-Bond: Now the bond is something you all have to put some effort to work out. It’s important. It allows you enjoy a seamless process.  We have really tried in this regard and it has been very rewarding but you know 100% is asking for too much so just work towards an above average percentage like we have.

Azeezat Tijani, Bola, Mitchelle, Chika, May and Mobolaji
The Network: This part of the LBS experience cannot be overemphasized. I am sure that some of you have come here with a major aim to invest in the network of professionals that LBS accommodates. Nobody will hold your hand ooo so don’t wait for a formal introduction. LBS houses a lot of influential individuals and it’s left to you to make the most out of it. For the ladies, just smile and tilt your head to one side, and tell ‘em…’oh you are the CEO of Swift? I enjoy your services, they are remarkable’…you can’t begin to imagine the outcome of that short sentence…..wait, please don’t quote me yet…lol. What I meant to say was don’t leave your intellect behind, bring it along with your charm, and then you can proceed with the head tilt. For the guys, I don’t know, sort yourselves out joor.

The Courses:  Well you know you they can’t all be interesting. Some might be boring as hell but don’t take even those ones for-granted. I have just realized during this three months that mehn, everything comes in pretty handy. I was like a super star to the MBA graduate from Birmingham working with me, thanks to all the assignments that Doyin Slami (you’ll meet him in the later part of your 1st year) and others made us do. So all in all, the courses have been carefully selected to make you stand out and for all intents and purposes trust me, you will.

Then;
Suberu, Bola, Obianuju, May, Temi and Azeezat Ajibola
The Class Participation: You see this part, it’s not by force o, well it is but not compulsory especially when you don’t quiiite know what in the world they talking about, because you must have somehow honestly skipped those pages in your binders, not that you didn’t want to read all the 21 tiny-printed pages sha, it just happened and for real you can’t blame yourself just sit tight, and nod vigorously. I tell you most solemnly, it works. You must also beware of those cold calls when you stop nodding for just two seconds…hehe. You’re toast. I’m talking to all the back benchers..lol.
And the final point,

The romance: Eh hehn see for this one eh, my class dulled me die….I was seriously looking forward to some ‘kine’ romantic romantic entanglements but the guys just dey fine show somewhere else.. I don’t understand it…MBA 10 guys mehn..you all are mmuah! but see this aspect, I have not been entertained at all and now that MBA 11 is here the chances are even slimmer but God dey we will be watching you, with 3D goggles. I know all your go-forth-and-conquer plans..lol..and now everyone does too. Wait guys, what I’m trying to say is that I am actually rooting for you. MBA 11 gurls, MBA 10 guys are a special bunch ooo…so when you meet anyone of them, keep an OPEN mind…hehe.
And there you have it, The Summary. If I have missed out anything, I’m sure you will catch it from some other write-ups, if you haven’t caught it already.

From My humble self;
May Agoha
Vice President/ Treasurer, MBA 10.

Looking Forward To Seeing You All. Welcome On Board!!!

Azeezat Tijani opens up on the MBA Experience..

May, Azeezat and Mobolaji

One beautiful morning at work I decided to go for a Masters degree , I started applying to universities in Canada and London, I got the admission (yes admission to all the schools I applied to) so it’s time to tell my dad am which one I am going to, and here comes the bomb shell,’’ you don’t have to go so far to get quality education, I know where you can get even something better and you will enjoy ‘’, I was standing there with my pretty sad face and asked where, he said ‘’Lagos Business School, I  have heard a lot about it, you should make enquiries’’. I said ok but wasn’t planning to.

Days passed by, then I decided to find out about the school, I went online and here was it, the prestigious school, it then clicked that I saw the advert right behind a magazine I got during NYSC, hmm, I wondered. I picked up my phone and called the school, I can remember calling months before they started selling the exam form, am sure the lady was tired of answering me all the time, *lol. So I decided to do GMAT also not to lose both ways, because now I was so interested in getting in. Finally after all the GMAT exam and LBS entrance exam, I was invited for the interview, hmm that was where I met Tosin ‘’loud Tosin’’ (but friendly and helpful) he was just talking endlessly and I was wondering hope he doesn’t talk like that all the time, but guess what, he does and my quiet but extremely naughty Mobolaji (my friend and flat mate) the babe was so quiet but it was all a lie.

Mobolaji, Azeezat, Jide MBA 9 and May
My first day, I was late* lol* I never keep to time, but LBS changed that, thank God. So I met my colleagues while they were on the tour and I was excited I was going to be with all these pretty and good looking people for the next 21 months, nice. Then brush up came, I found myself surrounded with May(who thought she could never be the other babe in my life); Uka, the computer guru, Dami( cute die, they say he looks like Desmond), Tokunbo (our dear pastor, always waking me up every internal issues day with praise and worship), Dr Itunu (who decided that the back sit wasn’t helping her cause she was always playing with her phone, but did it really help, *wink ) and just right in front was Pelumi and Nana who both decided to desert us so I was left with my ever smiling Semsem , Sales baba that’s our Babawale, whose hand is always up when the topic has to do with SALES, just the mention of the word, his hand is passionately up, then Ibude with his smooth swag and Dayo, hmm  I thought we had a connection but I was wrong because he is always everywhere.

Then came class participation time with NHB with our darling Kemi who was always smiling at us and encouraging me to talk, I was never the kind of person that will raise up my hand in a classroom, LBS thought me that, I knew I had to step up my game but thank God for brush up which brushed me up, because we had our lovely Nono, my friend,* in Obinna’s voice*, lol, operations was interesting for me as a result of her questions. I saw things from another perspective and then Gbemi with all the case facts. After brush up, we had our first class outing which half of the class didn’t show up for, but it was still fun cause Oyewale couldn’t stop dancing, John made me laugh all through; this made us closer.
Azeezat, Mobolaji, Ayoola, Uka, Bola and John

Months passed by and I just fell in love with all my colleagues, Rume, who must always talk everyday even if he takes the whole class back; Kunle,* the only lawyer we have, Tomi she just likes acting like my school mother, who does that?,* lol* but I just can’t stop loving her; our cute Bola with her ‘to die’ for style; Nike, the cake supplier; Azeezat Ajibola, my name sake and Muslim sister; Mitechelle and Uju, “on-point girls”, they always have their work ready way before the deadline and created time to analyse all their cases and not just reading them, I admire them; Tolu the next governor of I think its Osun state come the year 2022 or 2026*lol*; Omolayo, that received all the prices when we were in high school, and thinks he can do that here, * no price giving day here Omolayo; Segun Dada, he just loves being in the spot light and 1 thing you must know about him, he loves food( comes to my house just to take chocolate and when there is food, lol) no wonder his the welfare guy and he is a great entrepreneur; Segun Adebayo, calls my name in a funny way that I kinda like, calling me “excuuuuuuse me”; Tundun, there is just something about her I like; Seun and Gozie, my neighbours and brothers from another mother; Niyi, *don’t underestimate him*; Jude, our soccer captain; Suberu, my Muslim brother;  Ayoola, the Apple guy and then we have a military man, Olaoluwa, don’t be scared he’s a nice person.
MBA 10 members at a class outing on the beach

I must introduce you to Bolarinwa, he is wonderful with CFA; Ozue, our Class President, a great leader and chess master; Chuka is someone you must meet, he has this swag about him; Toyin, hmm Toyin, Toyin, I like the way she talks and her confidence is something I admire; Chika Amah Otu, you must listen to her; Chika Ezeani, he’s a must meet person, I can remember his SME Logic election  speech, it swept me off my feet (although in a strange direction) but guess what, he became the President;   Tolu girl, she loves to cook and clean; Ikeola and Fiyin, the most quiet girls in the class, wish I could be like that sometimes; Temi, the accountant in the class, she is so helpful and Uzoma, his a very sarcastic  person, so please note. 
Apart from all the interesting, brain tasking and enlightening Marketing, CMA, Strategy, Business Ethics, HBO, Business statistics sessions to mention a few, my colleagues are one of the most amazing people I have met, it’s a class filled with bright and challenging people who will pull you up when you need help. It’s been a wonderful 1st year with you all and am looking forward to the 2nd year because I’m sure it will be breath taking.

MISS YOU ALL  AND A BIG WELCOME TO MBA 11

Gbemi shares her MBA Experience

Gbemi with her bundle of joy

Hello MBA 11!

Welcome to LBS….the MBA programme is one that will challenge you on all fronts… Well I guess that may be coming a little late because you are already two weeks into it. It is advisable that you consider it as a remolding exercise regardless of the experiences you have had or what you have previously been exposed to.   Although class participation, good scores and overall success are important factors of the MBA considering the time and money invested, do not forget to create bonds, relationships and partnerships that would hopefully last for a life time.

I have met very ‘interesting’ people in the course of the programme and I must say that everyday only shapes you more into becoming the perfect manager that you seek to be at the end of the hurdle. The facilitators are great and I must say they are good at what they do. Despite the workload, you must strive to have a solid work-life balance….Trust me it’s difficult but it’s possible!

Now to me!..

Tundun, Gbemi and Pelumi
The MBA experience is like no other, as a newly married young woman with a baby on the way it’s even more challenging. I had to deploy every skill I had acquired over my lifetime at one time or the other to create favourable outcomes (like Thad will say). The key to succeeding as I have learnt is that you are the only one that can deprive yourself of the victory you deserve… no one else has that power! So you need to pick yourself up even when you feel exhausted and do what you have to do.

For me, everyone on the MBA programme has been fantastic, it’s like I was on the panel of ‘Judges’ and I made the selection of the MBA 10 crew… we have a perfect mix, all very intelligent, focused and party savvy…lol! Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Looking forward to meeting you guys! And as the LBS saying goes ENJOY!

Oyewale lays his 'Ground Rules' for the Ultimate MBA Experience

Oyewale Akeredolu
Hey Guys,

I'lld be brief

Guys: The best advice I can give, leave your class girls alone, face your books, they would lead you astray, they would use you, in a nut shell, leave them for us.. Be patient, wait for MBA12 girls.. Before you know it we are out and they are in. Take this advice or have yourselves to blame.. WE ARE TAKERS....

Girls: Ignore the words of advice I gave your boys.. They need it to get by. We aren't takers, we are helpers we will assist you, day and night.. We would offer sleepless nights, give you tutorials, just to make sure the tortures from Owolabi and his gang don't take the best out of you.. WE ARE YOUR BROTHERS...

Nono, Azeezat and Oyewale


Just messing with you guys mehn.. My classmates have said it all.. Its not all about the binders.. Don't get lost in it.. 
Oyewale, Bola and Tolu


Oyewale and Segun
Make friends, build healthy relationships, try not to get frustrated when you go through a whole session and it seems like you don't belong in setting.. When that happens, close your binder, take a nap in the class like most of my classmates do *cough*, have a beer and look for ways to relieve tension (that's where I come in- for the beautiful ladies only ofcourse).

 Looking forward to meeting you all..

'Know Thy Strengths and Deploy Them..' says Toyin Sanwo

Obianuju, Chukwuka and Toyin

I remember Wale Adegboye (Sales Baba) saying in class on the very first day, “the MBA is a 9-year dream for me”.  Well, not that long ago for me; it’s JUST a 6-year dream J.

As a graduate of English whose only assets were an inquisitive mind, a very high appetite for learning and some commendable use of English, my fear ab initio was that I would be submerged in the unfamiliar “numbers terrain”.  Interestingly, I had some friends in the MBA 6 class, and my closest Pal- Stephen Ojji- assured me that I would do well in the seemingly complex finance and statistics classes.


Well, my assets combined with God’s grace were the salvaging factor. I maintained a very open mind and told myself, “Toyin you can do this!”

Well I should share my experience on class participation. What a lot of my class folks don’t know is that Kemi Ogunyemi was the person who got me to give my best shot at class discussions. During her very first class, I made a contribution that earned a ‘not-so-good’ remark, “Toyin, you have to learn to communicate your thoughts better so that you do not lose your audience whilst making a comment.” Those words hit me and this is what I started to do. Before I make my contribution in class, I first articulate my thoughts on paper (at light-speed), sieve for sense, uniqueness and loopholes, and then I NAIL IT!
Gbemi, Chika, Nike, Toyin, Azeezat and Nono
at Kasi's baby shower

And the next tactic? Initially, I used to talk almost every time in class, and one day my Group 5 family said, “TS, you have good summarizing skills- abeg when you talk in class, don’t say all the points; say some and let others have the floor”. Of course we laughed over it, but it occurred to me what had been going on. Well, I wasn’t just talking to get the points, I was talking because I love to talk and can’t seem to shut up when I have a point. My contribution quantum declined, but every time I opened my mouth I made sure I made UTMOST SENSE!

As Chuka said (in another twist), BOBO is not enough. You must learn to draw that weapon with wisdom. Mehn, I had some bobo moments o, but you see, I do it with a swagger (In Dr. Thad Eyinna’s voice). ROTFLMAO! Dr. Salami showed me some pepper sha.
Never underestimate your colleagues. Don’t let your work experience obstruct your learning. The MBA programme is a platform to learn, unlearn and relearn. So keep an open mind and be humble enough to learn from every one.

Toyin and Chukwuka with Aliko Dangote
Another important thing: You have a reputation to build and protect. Whilst it is good to loosen up and mix, and of course be yourself, you want to ensure that you build a good reputation with your classmates and faculty members. Let them know your areas of expertise and strength. I want my colleagues and facilitators to be able to think of me when they need solutions. Let people know what you stand for.

And my favourite colleagues? Everybody in MBA 10. Each person has something I can learn from in terms of knowledge, skills and attitude (KSAs).
Tolu, Seun (MBA 9) and Toyin

And YES, I took all my assignments seriously- of course, Dr. Owolabi taught us to sweat our assets, and N3m is not beans. My approach from day one can be summarized in a Yoruba saying, “Ma lowo mi tan lara aso” (I will use every bit of my money from the cloth). The learning sticks when you DO THOSE ASSIGNMENTS. I think the most transformational assignment for me was the Strategy brief which we implemented working with the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC). It was eye opening and prepared me for my internship with Accenture.

Ahah! Accenture.  I had planned to intern with Accenture even before I was granted the admission the LBS. I kept on confessing it, and even when Anuli said to me, “Accenture does not recruit from LBS”, I said to her, “I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I am certain I would intern with Accenture.” And yes, I DID. (Although, I grew to love McKinsey & Company in the course of my first year)

Hmm… the painful moments- losing the contest for Presidency of the SME Logic Club to my buddie, Chika Ezeani (a brilliant and respectable colleague). But I learnt from that experience though, and I am one of his greatest supporters. That is life: you win some, and lose some.

Segun, Itunu, Seun, Nono, Gozie, Bola, Tundun, Toyin and Gbemi

My greatest skill: MAKING PRESENTATIONS. I kill the thang, oya ask your mummy!!! My Best team: Group 5 all the way. My Best Facilitator: I lost count- they’re all tight! My Best Moment: Gaining the admission PLUS the other part of that story. My Heavy-weight Trouble Brewer/Sweety: Hernandez. Most “Logical” classmate: Nono. Most Mysterious Classmate: Niyi. Most Bobolicious Colleagues: Chika Boy, Dr Itunu. Sleeping Heavy Weight Champ: Don’t know who to choose between Uka and Rume- their skills are daily refined (LOL).  My favourite crew: My flatmates- Azeezat and Nike. Class Whiz: Of course, Whizkid 1 of LBS. Most Mischievous: Tizzle P and Suberu… mine is an endless list of great peeps.

Look forward to seeing my genii classmates and the MBA 11 folks come October.

The MBA Experience ...As Told By Nono


Enobong Emah, MBA 10
Hello guys. Nono here. So in addition to what my wonderful classmates have said so far, I want to talk about two things. 

First of all, don't get too engrossed in the books. (I didn't say don't read o! Ha). I know it is very very easy to get lost in the binders but like most of the other posts have shown via the pictures, you can have an awesome education and enjoy yourself at the same time. 
Go out. See a movie. Listen to music. Run in the sand. Eat a gummy bear (ok this one is for me but you get what I mean). Enjoy yourselves. Find that BALANCE. 
Nono on the beach

Secondly, let everyday be a lesson on interpersonal skills. I was (yes I used past tense :p) probably one of the most politically incorrect person in my class. 

Like you don't know the half of it but I can proudly say that this day, I think the politically incorrect version (Rome wasn't built in a day) and say the politically correct version. Progress right? I think so too. 

It's really amazing how much the program can change you positively if you let it so please let it. Aii...I think that's about it. I'm sure we'll all have fun...see y'all at your welcome party. I'm sure we'll have a lot more to talk about then.

Toyin and Nono with friends from Stanford
PS: class participation is really important if you're like me who doesn't like writing much in written exams so raise that hand today :). Also, if brush-up looks tough, don't worry. You don't want to know what I got in brush-up lol. You'll find your stride once the main program starts. Trust me ;).

Naguolo teaches class participation the 'Cognitive Way'


Naguolo Matahor
Firstly, a big CONGRATULATIONS to each and every one of you! For those who are still feeling lightheaded with excitement, screw your head on tight cause it’s gonna be a WILD ride! 

So I took my sweet time trying to think of a way to give you all the most useful information on the MBA programme and here’s what I came up with. As you all have noticed, the issue of talking in class is a REAL one. It might be a pain in the side but don’t go talking for talking sake! 

LBS facilitators are good at spotting fluff so unless you’re the one here to dethrone Toyin Sanwo and take over as king or queen of BoBo, here’s my spin on; 



BLOOM’S TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE LEVELS

Naguolo with Chika after a class session
*     LEVEL 1- KNOWLEDGE/AWARENESS OF AND ABILITY TO RECALL BASIC FACTS
Its great that you actually know and remember these issues, it shows you have been to school or in the field but that was established at the application stage!

*     LEVEL 2- COMPREHENSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF CONCEPTS
So you’re a passenger in this class? Along for the ride? Just put your hand up to encourage the lecturer and let her know she’s doing a good job eh? Nice.

*     LEVEL 3- APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE
Here, Dr Owolabi would say with a coy smile “sounds good… I’m not sure if it’s what I really want but it sounds good!”

* LEVEL 4- ANALYSE: DECONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF IDEAS/INFORMATION TO OBTAIN DEEPER MEANINGS
This is where you truly get the case. You are not doing a bad job and you’re well on your way. Good girl or boy if you like.
Oseme, Azeezat, Naguolo and Fiyin

*   LEVEL 5SYNTHESIS: BRINGING DISORGANIZED ELEMENTS TOGETHER TO FORM A WHOLE. PRESENTING EXISTING FACTS IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT TO GAIN NEW KNOWLEDGE
You will be rewarded with good class participation because you have showed your classmates the light! You take a bow and happily receive your mental high-fives from the enthusiasts in the room.

* LEVEL 6- EVALUATION: MAKING JUDGEMENTS ON BASIS OF ESTABLISHING CRITERIA
You have earned your full marks for class participation. You have shown the facilitator you know what the case study method aims to teach you. You followed all the steps that Henrietta and Yetunde taught you and you’re generally the new ‘whiz kid’. Owolabi might give a speech in your honor (“this guy is good!”)- Not always a good thing because he will sooo abuse you if you dare fall his hand!

So ladies and gentlemen, remember these levels the next time you put your hand up to earn class participation!

'Bobo' is not enough...and Chukwuka tells us why


Chukwuka Nwagbara with his 'thinking hand' up
If you look at this picture you will immediately conclude that this boy is the next Soludo; an Economics guru. Well, you’re wrong. I’m an engineer turned business man with a lot of information in my head. You should meet me.

I came to LBS having run 4 different businesses; 2 were dead and buried, 1 was in coma while one was (and is still) surviving. A bit of politics and a bit of technology and a bit of marketing all reflecting in my CV so unlike what many people thought when they met me, I was eager to find myself. If I want to be politically incorrect, I’ll say I was confused. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. As you will soon find out, business is not just business. It has many functional career paths. In addition, you will also find out that they are all interesting career paths and you will face the dilemma of choosing one of them. 

Chukwuka receiving the Tony Elumelu Award for Business Excellence
My journey to choosing mine started the day I visited Anuli’s office for my career talk. I told her I wanted to go into Private Sector Development (PSD) (having IFC and IMF in mind) or Private Equity (PE). I loved the “bobo” nature of the career and since I believed everything was possible in LBS, I felt it wouldn’t take them anything to sought it out.

Well, I was wrong. As internship drew closer I discovered that all the PSD and PE firms wanted something different from what I had on my CV. They wanted the impossible from me. So every time my CV went in to some of the PSD or PE firms, they dropped it first and chose some other person ahead of me. I was fast enough to leave the wild goose chase and advise myself. “GUY THIS THING IS BASED ON CV REALITY NOT PASSION. And except you build capacity in that direction, that passion will remain what it is; PASSION”

So I sat back and took a critical look at my CV did a little research on where engineers played a major role in businesses and then I re-crafted my CV. Submitted it and got just what I wanted; OFFERS. Top of which were Schneider, P&G, Tony Elumelu Foundation and TATA group.

So my advice to you is that BOBO IS NOT ENOUGH. Look beyond what other people want to do. Look at your CV again and find out where you can add value in the business community. If your passion is strong enough, then you have some work to do take your time to BUILD CAPACITY in the direction of your passion.

Welcome to LBS, where dreams come true. Believe me, you won’t regret being here.

Mitchelle shares on some MBA Facilitators

Mitchelle with Azeezat and Obianuju
Hello everyone, special greetings to the MBA 11 peeps.

My piece is on the facilitators you all would likely be meeting in the first semester after your brush up:

We have Quantitative Analysis with Mr Thad Enyinna, with cases like Freeabbey Winery it is at this point that you guys  would be called to the board one after the other to draw the decision tree, most times, at the end of the class there would be about six people in front of the board.

MBA 10 Girls Night Out
Enobong, Mobolaji, May, Mitchelle and Azeezat
We have Mrs Rose Ogbechie in Ethics class, please take note that this is an ethics class so unethical responses are discourage, we also have the ever smiling Ms Kemi Ogunyemi taking Ethics, please don't let her smile or glasses deceive you, if you don't participate you will get scored accordingly.

For Corporate Financial Accounting, you all will be drawing up Balance Sheets, Profit & Loss Statements & Cash Flow Statements. For this, we have our one and only Dr Akintola Owolabi, who swears that you all must learn CFA, he's not lying in the end you all must know it.

Analysis of Business Problems is another course with Mrs Yetunde Anibaba, please take note that saying or stating the case fact in class is not part of class participation so you have got to come up with the Issue, Objective, Criteria, Reasonable Alternatives for each case and please DO THE NUMBERS.

Segun, Dayo, Oseme,Babawale, Dr. Adeleye (Group 1 Adviser), Chika,
Mitchelle, Tokunbo, Dammy
Finally, we have Management Communication with Mrs Uchora a.k.a your name on my list.  State a good point and you get to put your name on her list, if it is a brilliant point you get to put down your name with a double star, however say something off point and your name is put down with a minus.
