My AIESEC people!!!
How are we doing? I’m terribly late right? I’m so sorry I
absolutely promise this shall not repeat itself (pinky promise guys). So, how’s
our week going. Mine is going.... hmph! I absolutely don’t even feel in the
mood for my usual lame jokes (sigh) So, Let’s get down to it. A quick update of
how the LC meeting on the 19th of February 2016.
It was a very pedestrian Friday and my week left me feeling
quite mentally stressed. I mean look at this guy in the picture below

| Where are his shoes? |
And when I did put on my shoes, guess what shoes they were.
Nike trainers with jalabia -__-. Enough about me and down to the meeting.
People rolled in slowly and at their pace at usual. Highlight of my day we had
some déjà vu newees ( Imma explain myself in a sec). These are old guys that
come in to the meeting room with an expression like “I think I’ve seen this
before”. If I were handling the camera, trust me people, I would have had a
proper picture to capture the expressions. But, unfortunately, guess who was
handling the camera, and check out what he chose to do with it -__-

Step by step, here’s how the meeting went:
·
First we settled down and shared how our weeks
went. We came up with a first-letter-of-our-name matching adjective to our
names (I got to sit down beside the lovely Lotanna guys). I am Master Mojo
(Mojo the Master). Also we were told to say something nasty about ourselves or
the colour of our underwear (guess which male was wearing pink pant??
 |
| Here's the lovely Lotanna. |
·
So, after this Rachel Bassey told us a little of
what to expect for the day. We were going to get an HR specialist to take us on
a session to enlighten us about employability skills. But first Rachel had
something awesome of hers for us. “How to create a five-year plan” We look so
excited right?
 |
| Look at Idono's face, Lotanna's conentration, Olaolu's "deep thought face", Paige's wonder, my unaffected calmness. |
·
The rate at which Rachel was dropping technical
terms had paige and Ife like… They looked so confused.
 |
| I wonder what she was calculating |
·
Don’t mind me though, it was quite awesome,
brought out a brilliant plan from my inside (Yes! My inside!!) A very brief
point of epiphany which brought about the eureka moment and… (Lol. Alright I’ll
stop now). SO I had a very brief but brilliant plan formed which shall fetch me
money very soon guys, watch out.
·
Also we were divided into groups to represent
the respective FAs (irrespective of your real FA, for example I was in OGCDP)
and were tasked with drawing up a SWOT analysis of the respective FAs. We also
drew up a five-year development plan for the FA. We each gave a brief
presentation of our ideas. Look at our petite and lovely Isuwat (Correct me if
I spelled wrong please)
·
Finally, Samuel Akinlotan arrived in style. He
was quite pleasant and learned. I personally learnt a lot from him which I
shall not care to elaborate upon. (Come for meetings -__-)
·
Also, before I forget, we had a cameo appearance
from our LC coach, miss Esther. She reflected on the agenda for the day and
pressed on us a statement “It’s up to you” Lovely lady, Miss Esther. Also we
have a new Ivorien intern who is ready to make a change in Nigeria. IGCDP, well
done to you guys.
That was all for the day. See you guys same time next week.
Here are some relevant pictures I couldn’t fit into the story

| Idono's enthusiasm. |
 |
| This is just a quality capture of the exquisiteness of my watch :) |
 |
| Why is this lady hiding?? |
 |
| This guy thinks it's by showing up for five minutes during the meeting. |
 |
| Still hiding. |
 |
| Backseat girls. |
 |
| Habeebah looked radiant. |
