WHY I CONSIDER OUTING DAYS VERY INTERESTING AND FUNNY


BY:  EKENEME VINCENT CHIBUKE

"...Oboy, no outing today?", "bro. I no fit miss that 11.00 cinema today o", "my God! I never get money o", "Na this afternoon beans sure pass o", ”Eeee! It's already 1.00pm o", "...Oboy, na complementary psalm I dey o", "my man, I no fit wait to comot this compound o..."
These and many other assertions are the songs of seminarians on Wednesdays. Everyone seems to have his own tune on outing days in seminary, for some it is affirmative while obviously negative for some other people. While some people feel liberated on outing days, others don't even bother to feel anything as such. Why I consider outing day very funny is that there are different kinds of people with subjective interpretation to outing.

The first class of people see outing from the affirmative point of view. For these calibers of peoples, they anticipate outing right from the beginning of the week. Outing in their own opinion is to flex and relief tensions and it must be observed. Their pocket is of course always green and this obviously gives them the futile ground to compare outing days to independent days. Wednesday is the best day for these people and should be rendered the best attention. Infact when you see these people come back from outing, you just beging to admit the fact that we ar not the same even when we live in communion.

The songs of this kind of group look like; "oboy that shoprite resturant food cheap o...", "...Ultima! God forbid that local modernised buker", "oboy since I come this school, na once I ate beans o".

 The second group comprises of calibers people with complicated and diverse interpretation of outing. 1.00pm is very sacrosanct to many people in this group. In fact in the absence of any serious commitment, that time must necessarily meet them in school refectory irrespective of the distance of where they are at the advent of that time. For them outing is meant to get what they need and nothing more. Considering the people in this group, we likely have two fold; the upper and lower class. For the upper class, they easily sacrifice beans for Ultima delicate. Meanwhile, those in the lower class will always take it is an obligation to wrestle the helpless beans without any iota of pity. For some of those in this class, they take Wednesday’s outing day to trek from Bodija to UI and hide under the fact that it is an exercise. I wonder if the games days in seminary not enough for them.

One other funny thing about this group is that their pocket is always reflecting green once in a while and they are familiar with phrase the "insufficient fund". Interestingly, they always claim to be in week 3 or 4. While some people smile and chill when coming back from outing, some other people obviously put on a long face and few persons also pretend to be happy whereas they are burning and I wonder after all this things if all outings are successful.

The songs people in this group sing goes thus; "Eeee! It is five minutes to one", "...oboy ref food must not finish o", "my brother, I don't feel like going out". Considering the last assertion, is it that they don't feel like going out or they don't have what it entails to feel like going out? Actually this second group is messiah when considering the last g
group.

The last group comprises of those who sees outing day as same as any otherr days. For them outing day is a day to rest as if siester and light out always exempt them. Also, people in this group claim to be pioneers of week 3 and 4, they only smell week 1 and 2 after holidays. For many of them, Wednesday food tends to be their best food and as such it is not only an obligation to match the beans but a taboo to miss it.

The song people in this group sing is quite funny, it goes thus; "my bishop don pay for my food", "...oboy Wednesday beans na my best meal o", "roommate please buy something for me come o"One other interesting thing in this group is that they see outing useful when it is the last resort for them to acquire some vital things they are lacking. Perhaps, they don't have choice left to than to get theirs.

Occationally, some people do choose to sacrifice their refectary meal for a plate of 'amala' and 'green bottle' but this routine survives only when the wood is green. I wonder what happens when the leaf is dry, paharps refectary food always rescue the situation. Also, while some people will say they mistakenly ate Wednesday beans once since they came to Bodija, some people would regret that one day they missed Wednesday beans. What a paradox!

Conclusion, have we ever asked ourselves some of these questions on some funny occurrences that picture on Wednesdays. How many persons observe their prayers on Wednesday? Why is Wednesday best day for some people? Is outing (flexing) better than our other spiritual activities? Are all outings successful? Prior to that, however, outing is affirmatively part of our seminary curriculum and should be seen as a tool for our formation as well. Our formation is indeed robust and earlier we start embracing it and making it part of us. Outing days is indeed interesting days. Thanks.
