Two years was a long time, however short it is, but the people that made this list everyone will agree that they made the most of their time during their spell in the school. These young men could chew book and also regurgitate the piece out of their brain when the time warrants.
For the force they were, they deserve an award which would be an epitaph of their phenomenal strides in each academic session. Although, the National Association Of Mass Communication Students (Kwara State Polytechnic) held an award presentation and the dinner to celebrate these exceptional folks, unfortunately, they never went home with a plaque ‘less of a call up.
The association decided to sell the credibility of the awards to trash slots like; Mr Personality, Mr Fancy, Miss Tosh, Miss Portable amongst other pieces of shit; some were mad happy they got a plaque for those slots though.
Back to the business, the list below is an attempt to tell these brilliant minds that even if the association do not recognise them, we at least do. Now this should suffice;
7. Egunjobi Tunde: This fellow is not just the regular guy. He successfully kept a covert identity up till the final moments of our stay in school. He is not the type to answer or throw questions at lecturers just to get attention; he lets his pen do the job for him. Even though he stirred the curiosity of lecturers, he never blew his cover for once; except for the SIWES defence period when he had to introduce himself amidst thunderous applause.
6. Ibrahim Rukayat: Another introvert like Tunde, but then, she is a symbol of excellence. She would rather sit on the floor to receive lectures than miss one. It would surprise no one if she ends up with the big D’ as indeed a filled barrel will make no damn noise. Eyan re!
5. Ishola Kafayat Olanike: This one is a renaissance woman or perhaps girl, her understanding of courses only takes a moment to spread like the process of diffusion and even osmosis; the hardest bit of course will permeate her brain cells within seconds. However, modesty will make her defy her brilliance. But hey Nike, stop pretending, we know the stuffs you’re made of!
4. Aliu Ahmed Olalekan: The chief editor of the An-Nauteeq magazine is one elusive personality with whimsical sense of humour. He was also a member of the Public Relations committee for the National Association of Mass Communication Students. His résumé is fully loaded, if you doubt this, kindly give him a pen and paper; sure enough you will see the way vocabulary spills like a bag of loose beans. Walking Encyclopaedia!
3. Adeshina Abdul-Azeez: This man is an enigma, or better still one could say he is the Buddha of our class. He encompasses vast knowledge of the Holy Quran and couple of Hadiths. During the NAMCOS election manifesto 2012, he showed sheer intelligence on the podium with over-the-top counter-argument to Shonibare John Abiodun’s (Oyedepo) campaign kerfuffle. He however emerged victorious in the election as the Speaker/SRC at the detriment of his GP. But still he never failed to make the sea ripple violently.
2. Ayanwale Emmanuel ‘Juwon: Comrade Paragon as he is fondly called among the students’ union cabinet member is the General Secretary Assistant of the Kwara State Polytechnic Students’ Union. His affiliation to the upper echelon did not make his academic performance quiver. With his sights set on activism and print journalism, he notched up the award of the Most Influential Personality in the department during the NAMCOS award gala 2013 to scooping mind-blowing 46 by lines at the Herald Newspaper within four months. As if that was not enough he dominated nearly all pages of Campus Echoes with vigorous stories from several beats. There is no gainsaying; the department might want to change the name of its magazine to “Paragon Echoes” though. Is there anybody to challenge his Distinction? Damn! He’s got a whole lot on his chase.
1. Adeniyi Moses: He could have been second fiddle to Emmanuel if it hadn’t been for his consistency. During the great depression of 2012 after the release of 2nd semester results for first years, he was the only person that survived the purge. He stands at a towering 6’5ft and that also accentuates his level of intelligence (The taller you are the greater the odds fi your intelligence). Could you just give this man the ovation he deserves? Although he needs to sharpen his mind, brain alone no fit do am!

Best Five EXCOS Mass Comm. 2011/2013
Back in 2012 when these set of people were campaigning for election to represent their classmates at the Students’ Union, Institute and Departmental levels, it was an overflow of propaganda and “Purulence Jingoism/Garrulous Sagacity”. Aftermath the election, their classmates looked up to them to lift them from the mass-assumed nadir the association was left in by the Optimist Crew of the previous year. Although, they left zero naira, zero kobo in the association’ coffers, but who really cares about that?
A team comprising the almighty Adeshina Abdul-Azeez, Man-all-people, Soliu Abdul-Fatai, the ubiquitous Ahmed Abdullah’ (OO1) and the ever-spending Prince Adio Ahmed. Their administration was greeted with mass hysteria when the students took matters to their hands by staging a protest directly to the rector’s office to show their grievances as a result of the unfavourable lecture conditions which they had weathered since their first year.
Tagged by most people as the “Most Clueless team on campus” yet they were named “Erudite Crew” – isn’t that a perfect antithesis? Their administration was crippled by the premature resignation of their Public Relations Officer, Muhammed-Nauteeq along with the loss of their Auditor, Ridwan Ridours to God-knows-what ( he probably wild-out).
To make matters worse, some other members were ditched following allegations of corruption and mismanagement. Their report cards proved to be a hell of work, but easy to compile probably due to the waves of mediocrity that swept them off their stands like mad erosion; reactions generated during the printing of Finalists’ outfits and the NAMCOS day t-shirts will remain fresh in the memories of every NAMCOSITES.
Now below is the list of the best five EXCOS in descending other;
5. Adeyemi Samuel Tosin (Body n Soul): He surely is not a figure you will easily overlook during any round table discussion. Although, at the start of his tenure, he seems to have forgotten the reason he was elected and sworn-In as the Project Director. The entire projects he overlooked were quite successful in terms of logistics and planning. Popular for donning a worn-out suit laced with an unknown designer glasses to match, this young man definitely held his own and was never on the black book of anybody till the end of his tenure.
4. Soliu Abdul-Fatai (Professor): Although, he was the co-founder of the Elite Tutorial club, he simply lost his Midas touch after he was sworn-in. His leadership ineptitude was exposed during critical decision making moments likewise his inability to gel with his assistant, Abdul-Salam Nusirat. He however was the brain behind the “Erudite Thingy”. All he actually did was to write minutes in meetings not to forget, he was a force to be reckon with during arguments. But all the mentioned efforts couldn’t push him higher than just fourth. Our Professor could’ve done better if he had wanted!
3. Sa’adu Tijani: The Sport Director I for the person he is happens to be cold water even when odds are against him. Might you be surprised he made third position? That brother is a lame duck, but to whom less is given, less is expected. His team failed to advance beyond semi-final of the Director’s cup and failed to qualify for the Rector’s cup as a result, but they made up for it in the Table Tennis competition as they emerged from underdog to champion in the tennis event. Though he had fewer resources, but second fiddle is equal to nothing, nothing at all!!!
2. Ahmed Abdullahi (001): During his manifesto presentation, he promised to manage the information of every NAMCOSITES efficiently and treat every bit with importance; this young man did exactly what he promised within some couple of months as the PRO of the association. From the official e-mail address of the association- namcoskp@ovi.com to their blog- www.masscommkp.blogspot.com/ in short, all the online based accounts on all social networks were completely under his watch. Like the others, however, his efforts never stood the test of time; all the accounts became dormant after six months if not less.
1. Mustapha Ahmed Oladayo: Welfare! Is there anything to write about him? Sure there his! But without having to pen words on paper, his works without doubt suffice. Don’t forget he gave birth to the idea of fixing those bill-boards, marker boards in class rooms, wall clocks, waste bins in the studio and a whole lot. Did anybody mention how he was sabotaged by some couple of others while he was trying to make things appropriate? He was even summoned by the Ogas-at-the-top to clear himself on the allegations levelled against him. What do we call this kind of feat? That’s perseverance men! Who says he doesn’t deserve number one position on the list?
