The college drama team, under the leadership of the Drama teacher Mr. Sola Balogun, put on another sterling performance on the 25th of February, 2016. With weeks of rehearsals and other preparations to make the event a success, no one was left in doubt about what to expect when the play, Nengi’s Dilemma was finally staged. The play was an interesting story of Charles and his dalliances with various ladies that he managed to finally put in the family way. Nemesis finally caught up with him as he paid dearly for an immoral life. It was surely a lesson for everybody, both ladies and boys on the need to maintain healthy relationships. The event, which apart from the main drama, was also laced with dances and solo song performance was graced by quite a lot of parents and students from a neighbouring Glenville School....

It was another success story when the college had its first Oxbridge Family Day in the form of a barbecue on the 7th of February, 2016. It was an occasion organised to bring parents, students and teachers together in a relaxed and informal setting. There was no talk about academia allowed!!! With music, drink and food lovingly prepared by our catering team, all those who attended definitely had a nice time. Everyone who took part in the events praised the initiative and expressed their wishes for more such events to be held in...

As part of the college marketing team initiative of bringing the excellent educational services we offer to the consciousness of Lagos and its environ, a Taster’s Day was held on the 13th of January, 2016. Students of Vivian Fowler Memorial College, Lagos visited the college to have a first-hand taste of our everyday activities. THE VISITORS HAD THIS TO SAY AFTER THEIR VISIT: I feel that the college is an excellent place to be, as far as Sixth Form education is concerned. I have heard so much about it, but now having experienced it, I think it has lived up to its reputation. I attended a couple of classes, but for Mathematics precisely, I understood virtually everything taught. IFUNNAYA IZOR Oxbridge is a very active place; I could virtually sense the energy and it is not a place where you see students looking sad or morose and the classes were quite interactive. The teachers gave room for students to express themselves freely. The food too is great. I think the school is well run. Nothing for me to add to it! WILLIEM ITU I went round the school facilities and had the privilege of attending Law and Mathematics classes, which I found quite interactive. I surely had a nice time and really everything appeared well managed. VIVIAN IMIRE...

In the highly challenging and competitive world of the 21st century, our youth also feel the pressure of not only meeting the expectations they set for themselves, but also those set by their parents. This of course creates confusion and dilemma at times. In a bid to give our students a platform to express themselves, there was a panel discussion entitled, Expectations from Teenagers, organised and anchored by the students of OTC on the 27th of January, 2016. Sodia Yusuf Ayomide was quite adept as he anchored the event, reeling out various thought-provoking questions and issues to the panelists made up of students drawn from different streams of the college. The students were: Ekpenyong Joy Insa Umossoh-Ime Lilian Ayomiposi Ibeabuchi Chigozirim Adanna Njoku Chiagoziem Ikechi Nwofe Anulika Nnenne Onigbanjo Mowalolaoluwa. In a relaxed atmosphere, the students were quite frank, as they expressed their frustrations in trying to meet the high standards set by parents and teachers. They however appreciated the concern and worry of these set of people in trying to make them better people. The Vice-Principal of the college, Mrs.Tony-Ubah, who was in attendance also brought a balance to the discourse in that, as much as teenagers should explore being themselves positively, they must also do it within the ambit of accepted morality and societal norms.

Denise Danda represented the college in the Lagos Regional Secondary Schools Model United Nations programme, where she incidentally came first in her group. She shares her experience below: The great honour of representing OTC in the 1st LARSSMUN (Lagos Regional Secondary Schools Model United Nations) was bestowed upon me, with the conference running from the 7th to the 11th of November, 2015. The Nigerian Model United Nations Society (NigMUNS) organised the conference, and it represents a simulation of the negotiating forums of the United Nations Organization. More than 200 students from various secondary schools in Lagos participated in the programme. The participants (known as delegates for the duration of the conference) each represented a chosen member state in a United Nations organization. I represented one of the great powers (the victors of World War II), the United States of America, in the Security Council. The first day was by far the most laidback day of the entire conference as we were given time to settle into our hotel rooms before the welcome party in the evening. At the welcome party, we were introduced to Mr. Chika Nwaozuzu, the Chairman of NigMUNS, who delivered a memorable speech encouraging us to make the most of the LARSSMUN experience. He also urged the female delegates to aim to become future Governors, Presidents and Chairpersons and not to merely thrive to become First Ladies and relatives of great men. A rap and dance segment by delegates from various schools broke the ice and set the ball rolling for what was sure to be a fun night. Official conference activities kicked off on the...

In a world beleaguered by terrorism, the students of the college on the 27th of November, 2015 took time out to discuss this burning issue in a debate competition among the four Houses in the college, namely; Soyinka, Balewa, Awolowo and Azikwe. In a keenly contested bout, where the contestants were assessed by a panel of judges, using 4 criteria (content, style, creativity and grammar), the contestants put up a spirited effort to support their stands. While Awolowo and Soyinka spoke in support of the use of diplomacy to fight terrorism, Azikwe and Balewa spoke glowingly on the need to fight the menace using force. Incidentally, the forum had an NCUK team made up of Mr. Alan and Mr. Andrew in its midst. At the end of 5o minutes, the following scores were released by the panel of Judges: Soyinka House (Represented by Mayomikun Deji-Omotayo and Amarachi Tony-Ubah)- 1ST Azikwe House (Represented by Ifunanya Nwokedi and Anulika Nwofe)- 2ND Balewa (Represented by Olisadalu Amakaeze and Amanda Gin-Dozie)- 3RD Awolowo House (Represented by Esther Anaga and Oyindamola Depo-Oyelohun)- 4TH CONGRATULATIONS TO SOYINKA...
