I think everyday about what it must be like to be normal, to conform to the standards that society has molded and expects us to follow. Go to church, bedtime before midnight, studying for exams. But those are just flashes, and i go back to being me

Oh USIUI of Africa...

Dear USIU,
Thank you for teaching me that throwing stones never solves problems
that abandoning class and studies and other things is very stupid
that being spotted shouting or carrying banners won't get me employed

Dear USIU,
Thank you for reminding me that i'm a fully fledged Homo Sapiens
and not a Homo Erectus , Ramapithecus or Zinjothropus
Therefore, I should act as though i possess a fully grown brain
and not a bean in replacement

Dear USIU,
Thank you for teaching me where to go to clubs and rave
that expecting drinks without money or being vulgar
never gets anyone anywhere
That I should always have my own stash, and indeed i always do

Dear USIU,
Thank you for teaching me the oath
that i now so know by heart after finishing campus
that i shall forever act with swagg and dignity
hence the reason they hate us so much

<span>SWAGG CODE OF USIU</span>

I, as a student-present,past,or future-shall never be caught
missing class to throw stones
or bear the title of 'Protest Organizer'
neither shall I feel ashamed to have swagg at all times
I promise to love myself and put my time to better work
by making paper, spending paper-mine or my parents
perfecting my swagg and my eloquency
and to carry the level of civilisation every time with me
I promise to never enroll my child in any stone-throwing institution
but rather home school them when the worst comes to the worst
that they would rather feast on my money and drive my car
than graduate with a Bachelor of Everything Including Primitiveness (B.E. Prim)

I bitch about you, i bitch about your internal policies, i bitch about the cafeteria
and lets face it, if you've ever passed through the USIU system then
you probably have had  a bitch session or two about the school....
but what we really mean though is that 'We love you USIU and we
thank you for saving us the hell of having to be the others'

Oh USIU of Africa.. Thou Reigneth alone...

Thank you for taking the Oath!

  4. Uwwiii! Speak the truth, BlaqqSheep!

    As Africans, we need to check ourselves. The universe doesn't owe us for colonization. The world doesn't owe us for racism. Society doesn't owe us for our social class.

    As OutKast so delicately put it: "You better get up, get out, and get something!" Uwwiii! Speak the truth, BlaqqSheep!
