*My DIARY in UNN (University of Nigeria, Nsukka)*

*My DIARY
in UNN (University of Nigeria, Nsukka)*
My name is Comrade Augustinepaul Obinna Okpara, popularly known as Comr Ekporef.

University life (especially in Nigeria) is always stressful. But nevertheless it's been good to me. And it feels great to be finally a graduate of University of Nigeria Nsukka. I'm now a fully refined SuperLion.
*HOSTEL LIFE*
When I stepped into the University of Nigeria Nsukka, the first thing that came to my mind was Accomodation, but unfortunately I resumed late and by then all the male hostels were already occupied, but ThankGod for Mr J.C Nwobodo a very good friend of mine right from our secondary School days, he was the Moses that came to my rescue. I stayed in room 336 during my first yrs where I met a lot of scholarly cum political big wigs like, J.C Nwobodo (Amagu), Obinna Ezemah(Tutu of Africa), Agbo Collins(Macho),Sir Too, Silas Okereke(De Manna), Umeh Hilary(Uchman), Dike Jonas(DJ), Chekwube(Gburus) and Mamah Jude✌️, My first roomies they all made my stay in room 336 Alvan Ikoku Hall memorable.
I later moved to Room 411 after my first yr where I met New roomies like Josh,Malachi, Maduka, Benji, Johnson, Ikwen and Emo, they all made my stay in Alvan Memorable as well. My third and fourth Room was Alvan Room 331 where I met Anajemba Chinedu, Emma,Elder, Frank, Cletus, Charlie, Chidera, Felix and Chris and finally Sammy respectively, they all made my stay memorable in Alvan.
Airport was fun too, I also rendered a lot of selfless services to ALVANITES and Enites too as both a regular and student leader, most of them call me political Engineer as was the one that ensures that ALVANITES enjoy light.

 *Finance/Resource* *Management* : when I entered School things were Cheap then until Bubu swept oga Jona off the the seat of power, in my first year to finish Okpa #50 was hard because it was rich in quality and quantity too, it helped me to save enough money including my food stuff, but when I entered second year Bubu entered Aso Rock and things began to fall apart, though Online business including Ponzi came to our rescue later during my third year, I began to celebrate my birthday openly as my personality continued to spread wide the Campus.

 *My Religious Life:* I went to a mission secondary school so I guess I had Jah on my mind when entering the university. I often  made it to church most of the times and I think I satisfied the NIGERIAN FEDERATION OF CATHOLIC STUDENTS (NFCS), I was a Legionary under our lady mother of God presidium  as a treasurer of the presidium and a lector too, a member of Annunciation Catholic Community Station council representing Alvan hall.

 *Academics:* my Dad was a bookworm, so I followed his steps but later deviated towards politics meanwhile I studied Political Science, ThankGod I am now a certified graduated of UNN under the discipline of political Science Major and now done with my NYSC despite my active participation in Both Church and Aluta. I got plans for my Post graduate degree and this time , I will hit it bigger. Thank God the minimum wage is here, it will help us save for that.

 *Student Union Politics:* student union politics like Nigerian politics sure does stink. We got so many guys coming out for elections who don’t know what  is really expected of them. Most of them peeps just got ego problems. I guess we all wanna be big. I was into politics on campus, I served in both Church and Aluta including kporakpo politics.

*Position held*
I served as the
🔖 President Awgu Local Government Area Students Association (UNN)
🔖 Secretary National Association of Mgbowo Students (NAMS)
🔖 Coordinator ALGASA freshers
🔖Welfare Officer Alvan Hostel
🔖Hall Leader Alvan Hostel(Twice).
🔖NFCS wing Rep Alvan Hostel
🔖PRO NFCS Franco
🔖 Treasurer Our Lady mother of God praesidium
🔖Media secretary GSSG
 ðŸ”–Senior Special Adviser to the SUG president on Media and publicity
🔖ESSGA Constitutional Cmttee Secretary
🔖FEWSECO Chairman
🔖Media Manager Marlima Restaurant
🔖 Coordinator PDP students wing UNN
🔖Speaker Kingmakers UNN

And within the above capacities, I served the avalanche of Nigerian Students effectively it helped to grow my Leadership prowess and vibes.

Organized the first mind blowing cultural day for Awgu students and championed the Franco Vanguard.

      I long for the day Nigerian and student union politics will be developed to the point coming out for elections demands so much of one character wise.

*Title:* on Saturday 12th of October 2019, I was honoured with a Chieftaincy title by FOSSSA Traditional council on the event of ALGASA Cultural day as Ochiudo 1 of Awgu students.

 *My Social and Love Life:* entering school very early (I’m among the youngest in my class) I was socially deficient at first. But being a “soji guy” I finally came out on top and running things. Flexing in the Lion's den sure was worth the experience. With all the shows, parties, Aluta etc. And from flats and behind flats, to beach And Carolina, all Nsukka Areas and hot spots, Jives, Franco Republic and environs, up school Female and male hostels, SUB and environs, PAA, Ekporef, Arts Theater, CEC, Social Science Quadrangle, freedom square, hill top, Odim gate etc, UNN did really bubble. When I’m doing my thing: I keep it real. I picked up Media Marketing  while in the university and excelled to the point that I became the most popular and the most consulted publicist in UNN, that gave me the edge to Advertise Marlima, IfyBest restaurant, De Bug Magazine,Lionspot past questions and answers, faculty Nights, religious crusades, political campaigns etc. I got quite popular with it. Now I consider myself a media Lord as Others call me.
My media and Political sojourn fetched me awards  Viz
🔖SUG Social influencer of the year
🔖FOSSSA Media personality
🔖FOSSSA Outstanding personality of the year
🔖Media Manager of the year
🔖 Media publicist of the year
🔖 ALGASA Student Leader of the year etc

*Business life*
I further Established A media publicity platform called *REF-MEDIA PUBLICITY*
*REF-DATA SERVICES*

*Love Life:*
I met a lot of friends through my media and political sojourn, I met a lot of female beautiful friends who shared in my Joy and happiness. Though I made sure that I didn't break someone's heart.

 *Life after University:* on the real man I got cold feet about it. You know putting what you studied into practice and through it fending for yourself. But anyways it couldn’t be worse, I secured a job with REPHIL Company, leadership scorecard coupled with my Data business, as well an appointee to the chairman of Awgu,Now into Ref-grocery,Jah lives so it’s gon’ be alright. You got my back anyway, don’t you?

*ALUTA CONTINUA CONTINUE WE SAY IN PAIN*
*VICTORIA ASCERTA WE HAVE AS GAIN*

*I'M COMR. AUGUSTINEPAUL OBINNA OKPARA (EKPOREF)*
CEO REF-MEDIA PUBLICITY/REF-GROCERY/DATA SERVICES
