REPUMANIA

It is considered the grandest stage of all on tertiary basis. Actually the climax of everything entertainment even if that sounds a bit offhand but yeah, a case could be argued and won with valid facts. Think of it as a miniature wrestlemania without the accompanying pseudo-violence and a significantly lesser attendance. It is a

mere week like no other, just another seven days but don’t be deceived for there is more than meets the eye during this period. Let your imaginations take a short trip and you may begin to piece together the portrait I’m painting albeit without a brush mind you. (I love my quill). Yup! This is basically about R E P U M A N I A. The first four letters have grabbed your attention already.

Depending on how you view it, this is a time many want to be ‘great’. The repu newbies will be seeking to have a feel of it first time like a virgin maiden’s first time at you-know-what. The veterans would be seeking to

consolidate their victories and redeem losses and hope to sign off on the best possible note. It is redemption time especially if you’ve played a zero throughout your stay in Uni, there is no grander occasion than this to bury haunting demons and finally get some points on board.

A curious scenario usually plays out around this time. Usually it’s a hattrick of parties (what’s likely to be the case this time as well) that grabs the most attention. But usually unseen battles lines are drawn when two parties are set to happen on one night. Consider it like this, two rams about to lock horns with obviously only one winner. Sure in such cases, both could thrive but the purveyors of evil hiding in shadows would rather one ‘papped’ for the other to hopelessly flop in which case it would be a massive field day on 140 Character Street aka Twitter. Re: Acid Trip versus Dusk 3. *Pontius Pilate hand wash*. But it is worthy of note to mention the fact that Repu mostly thrives because of the plethora of parties that rush in like a raging flood around this time. And then again, these parties are not for the faint at heart. 2 or 3 straight nights out partying certainly can’t be a joke. I have no experience I must place on record.

  Spare a thought for the would be ‘perchers’ whiles you are

about having fun. Certainly, it’s an open secret people would troop in and end up sleeping in unspeakable places just because of Repu. Of course, the fun that you would have is worth it they would say. Spare yet another thought for the various girlfriends who would find out they aren’t their boyfriend’s girlfriends because that other girl has arrived. Plainly put, some of you ladies are going to learn your place on your supposed boyfriends’ relationship hierarchy. Who knows? You may be lucky enough to be an assistant girlfriend which is definitely better than getting the rude awakening that your boyfriend doesn’t even consider you his girlfriend at all. How sad! Same goes for the guys too. Then also say a prayer for the

various pockets that would have craters in them after repu. Chill hard at repu and remember to ‘hung’ hard after too... Maybe. And for that boy or girl who bought a stand for almost 300 cedis and is still not making even a quarter of sales, may the Lord be your strength. It is all part of REPUMANIA. Happy Hall Week!
