LC meeting, 11th march, 2016.

Heeey AIESEC!!!
How are we all doing? How did our week go?? Mine was extremely stressful, (like what’s an engineering week without stress? They are synonymous). Maybe one day I’ll dedicate a whole post to telling you guys about the stress of being an engineering student. Alright enough of me, but before I talk about the meeting, Big birthday shout outs (in arrears) to Emmanuel (the future is max) and the lovely idonno!!! Wishing you both more successful years on earth, AIESEC Lagos loves you and God bless you!
Okay so meeting was unusually short this week (still wondering what happened). But trust me it wasn’t lacking in the usual fun and vibe that is characteristic of our LC meetings.

 Meeting started at about 3:20pm, anchored by LCPe Ugo, we all took turns painting pictures of how our week went and what we all did for AIESEC in the course of the week. And then from nowhere appeared guess who???...... Daniel Elema our Mcp!! Oh yes! (lol calm down…. He wasn’t here to finish up his talk of last week, don’t shout) rather he was here for something else, something more serious (details of that I’ll put up towards the end of this post).

And so after our MCP left Olumide (LCVP FLA) came up for our ice breaker.


 We did the ‘father Abraham had many sons’ game (where Olu made us do some awkward things) and then Ugo brought up some sort of song-game about marrying someone when we grow up and doing something sha (I’m sorry Ugo I just can’t remember it right now).


All the same it was fun and it achieved its purpose- which was to break the tension up and make the whole atmosphere lively. And then we moved on to the main agenda of the meeting, FA meetings. We all were to divide into our respective FA’s, get to know each other and our LCVPe, talk about things relating to our FA as well as draw out plans and goals for our FA for the next 3 months.

(listen to your lcvp was what they said o, not pose for the camera) …  (what was Amara doing???)



This lasted for about 20 minutes and we all came back together, each fa had a representative come out to tell us about what they discussed and their plans for the next 3 months.

After that we had a few AOB’s and it was time to cut Idono’s cake. Up came the birthday girl and we were told to sing a ‘birthday song’ for her (If you weren’t at the meeting trust me you don’t want to hear the song but for the record Idono doesn’t look like a monkey!!! Haba what was that Ugo? -__- ) Later sha, we ate the cake and that was basically the end of the meeting.

Happy birthday Idono!

Cake!!!


Now, I said I was going to come back to this, the reason our MCP showed up unannounced, so heey guys, apparently AIESEC Nigeria needs our help. It’s all about the youth speak survey. Now in case you’re wondering what this is, youth speak survey is a short global survey to understand the perspective of young people today. Its aimed at finding out what the youths of today see as the main driver of their motivation, things they want to see put in place in their local/immediate environment, and also their ideas and thoughts of how they think the world should shape out by 2030. Okay so how do they need our help?? At the beginning of this survey AIESEC Nigeria was leading worldwide when it came to number of responses but right now we are about 60th in the world. So the MC wants to partner with us (AIESEC in UNILAG) to promote this campaign. We have a target of about 6000 responses by Friday and to achieve this we would be using questionnaires. So please people if your faculty is up school (engineering, science, law, etc.) please contact Ugo and if you’re down school (FSS, environmental, education, etc.) please contact Yomi. We need all hands on deck to make this happen so please guys lets enjoy participation and make this happen!!!
My quote of the week: You have never really done anything for anybody till you do something for someone who has no way whatsoever of paying you back. On this note I say congratulations to the IGCDP team on the success of the Xfashion/care project. Big ups to Sandra and her team and everyone who made it happen. Igcdp heeeey!!!! Igcdp aaaahhh!!!








Have a great week guys and don’t forget to turn up for the youth speak. The MC is counting on you!
Yours truly,

Dami.
