SOCIALITY
IS NOT CARNALITY, IT’S TIME FOR US TO STRIKE A BALANCE -OSAS
TEAM
G2G MEETS OSAS
CAN
WE MEET YOU?
My name is Amadasun
Osaretin David Social Secretary of the University of Ilorin Student union,
400level Geology and mineral science. Am from Edo state, family of seven, 5
boys and 2girls, I am the last born.
HOW
DO YOU FEEL BEING THE LAST CHILD OF THE FAMILY?
Being the last child of
the family has its negative and positive side. Negative (All the house chores
is left to the last born) the positive over shadows the negative because you
get siblings to call on from home when you are broke.
IS
OSAS YOUR REAL NAME?
It’s not my real name
and its not my nickname. My name is Osaretin which means God is my strength and
indeed God has been my strength. It is just that where I find myself in this
side of the country which is Ilorin, many won’t be able to pronounce the name
correctly so to be at the safer side, I shortened it to osas which is very easy
for everyone to pronounce.
TELL
US ABOUT YOUR POLITICAL BACKGROUND
The journey started
from my primary school days, I have always had this charisma to be a leader, it
is not something I force out of myself. It comes out naturally, I see myself as
a born leader, started from being the class captain in my primary school in
primary six I became the assistant head boy, same thing applies to my secondary
school, J.S.S. 1 became the food prefect, S.S.S. 3 Labour prefect, then during
my remedial period, I was the vice president of RRC (body) Remedial Reach out
Call. 100L, I became a senator in my department, faculty senator in 200L, 300L
honourable at the sublevel. Finally, the social director.
HOW
DO YOU FEEL BEING THE SOCIAL DIRECTOR?
I would not want to be
flattered at all, basically it has not been easy, infact my academics only God
will help me and not make it suffer. While I was doing my campaign, there is
this word I always use “Sociality is not carnality, it is time for us to strike
a balance, though it is not easy but with God and a very strong time
management”
HOW
DO YOU VIEW THE SOCIAL OF ILORIN?
I came into Unilorin
2011, the social life was just there, I would not say beyond normal, but there
were some norms and mindset and because of the environment, we found ourselves
they are kind of rigid when it comes to social life. The population we have got
in school, many of the students are indigenes if not 50% from Kwara state and
it is a norm they have carried from childhood.
HOW
DO YOU COPE WITH OPPOSITION?
There is a saying by this popular musician 2face “ if
nobody talk about you then you are nobody” and my pastor will always say
opposition will catapult you to the next level, so I see oppositions as
opportunity to get the next level, it gives me this challenge to fight more.
Like when I resume this office, one of my opposition who lost sent me a text
and said “let see what you will be able to do”. I told him it is not by my
power or might but God, one thing am sure of is I am going to leave a mark in
this school till tomorrow and will still be noticed. When the coke studio came
he was shocked, infact he was the 1st to call me to confirm it if it
was true. Since then he has stopped coming to my office. So I am looking for
more opposition.
WHAT
ARE YOUR SOCIAL PLANS/AGENDA FOR YOUR TENURE?
So far so good, we have
seen some of them, like Airtel one mic, coke studio, onga cooking competition
(winners went home with a big refrigerator) and the trade fair, the freshers
carnival (Burn fire coming pretty soon, all things being equal we will be
having unilorin got talent, Miss Unilorin 1st edition, as usual to
round up our programme for the year. We will be having the annual SUG week and
dinner with the award nite.
YOUR
ROLE MODELS
Hmmm,
basically I don’t do the role model things, but I have people that inspire me
one of which is my dad (who is a retired military man but not tired) he has
different words in different situation to cover for himself, there is no
situation he does not have anything to say, so over time have learnt this witty
sayings from him. Then my pastor Rev. Chris Oyakihlome (Christ Embassy) he is
my teacher, my coach I think am a mentor to myself, I see myself and I
challenge myself then (Team G2G also) LOL.
HOBBY
I
like eating food and I told you I was the food
prefect so it has been in the blood, then I like football and I play football alot, I also like travelling.
