There is no
doubt HELB is in most students’ pockets and so far a lot has transpired since
the funds were released to the students. The Communicator’s Ronald Agak takes an insight into
the HELB aftermath.
EXAM SURERITY.
Those
students who had prayed all day and night for the University Administration to
consider conditions for doing exams are now happy people. Implying being
allowed to do exams even if they did not clear their fees in the event the
exams commenced before the funds were disbursed. These breeds of student now
have all the reasons to do exams and no excuse not to seat for exams because of
fees. Most of these students have already uploaded the HELB funds into the
University’s fees account and now enjoy their sleep without nightmares. They
now attend lectures without any stress and have that time to laugh or smile
when a lecturer cracks a joke during a lecture as opposed to before.
FRAKAZ RELOADED.
The famous
is not left out in this merry making. Its customers had tremendously reduced
before the funds were released. Things have changed and now those comrades who
had really missed the bottle now flock frakaz to ensure that they enjoy their
‘sweat’. The academic highway had had a drought of broken bottles. It is at the
moment not left out in the celebration of the arrival of the ‘sweet baby’,
HELB. The hostel corridors especially those for men have also joined the merry
making. The Frakazers now come late in the night during the weekends and shout
out their hearts in these corridors. We really did miss the shouts.
REJUVENATED LOVE
Love birds
have either been happy or some have had their hearts broken. Earlier love was
hanging on the thread. There were no big bucks to flourish the love. The number
of female visitors in men’s hostels has significantly swollen and that of male
visitors in female hostels too. The chips cafes now host a large number of
customers. Thanks to the HELB rejuvenated love. It’s not a good luck for some
love birds. Some have been dumped for greener pastures because either the bucks
have increased to accommodate a new catch or one has been dumped because
another favorite has more bucks than the former sweetheart. This is just a
game, let the winners celebrate and losers console themselves and hope to win
next time. The game is still on.
DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.
The debtors
have not fully enjoyed these funds because they had to leak out some amount to
settle the debts they had taken to enable them make life in campus comfortable
and bearable. Creditors on the other hand have had quite a nice time. Their
count of bucks had been reloaded for the amount they had loaned out.
Interestingly, there has been a game of hide and seek. Some debtors have tried
as much as possible either not to meet their creditors or failing to receive
their calls.
Anyway, that
is how life is. Furahia maisha au sio?
