INTRODUCTION

Hello guys,
My name is Alugo Abdulazeez but I love it when I'm called Honourable and please don't ask me why. I like to see myself as an astute writer and of course I know a lot of other writers for whom I'ld submit my pen at any time 'T'. However, they wouldn't mind us, young writers reffering to ourselves as astute because they need to be sure we'ld be there when they are gone.
If you have seen the name of this blog and wondered "why would he call himself Defatigue?", then I guess I owe you an explanation. The nickname 'Defatigue' actually evolved from another less-acceptable nickname 'Fatigue' and I'll tell you how it evolved.
It was my first week at Lagos State Polytechnic and two weeks left to the first semester exam in 2004/2005 academic session. Then, there was no Students Union Government in place due to disruptions during the previous election but a transition committe was put in place to oversee the affairs of the students. The transition committee then organized an interactive session between the new students and some top management officials, specifically, the Rector (Engr. olawumi Gasper), the Director of Students' Affairs(Barrister olasunkanmi Olayinka Longe) and the Chief Security Officer (Rtd. Col. Mekwonye).
Although I was only a week old at the institution, I already had problems that I thought needed to be addressed and so when it was question and answer time, I decided to bear my mind on the issue of transportation (I later wrote an article titled BUS TROUBLE and pasted it around the school. It put me in a little trouble but that would be a topic for another day). I complained bitterly about the fact that there were not enough buses to pick students up from the Garage to the school and not enough to move the students from the permanent site back to the gate in the evening. To butress my point then, I mentioned that the effect of making students trek from the permanent site to the gate after a long and tedious day in the classroom was FATIGUE. And that was it! I actually said a lot of other things before I finally took my seat amid deafening applause from my peers. After the session/forum, we all went back to our classrooms. As I stepped into the class, someone first whispered fatigue (it was tee-babs. We later became very good friends) and since then, fatigue it was. Anywhere I went on campus, I was more popular as fatigue than my real names.
My fatigue popularity got me a landslide victory when I contested for the post of Honourable to represent my department in the Students Representative Council (the legislative arm of the SUG. So now you know how I came about being called an honourable) and then, I was still in ND1; my first semester in the Polytechnic.
As I started mixing with people around the polytechnic community and outside, most especially, the top management officials of the Polytechnic, there was an urge to change the nick name which was, as much as I was enjoying it, becoming an embarassment. So I searched for the antonym of fatigue and I found Indefatigable and shortened it to defatigue for two reasons; politically, I had to keep the fatigue sound audible enough so I wouldn't be mistaken for anyone else and also to make it easy to inject back into the cirle that had come to love the fatigue entity so much. Secondly, defatigue is a good short form for indefatigable and I was hoping that someday defatigue would be substituted for indefatigable in the english vocabulary (if you know what I mean).
Have I bored you with that long story? Well, I just thought I should clarify that so you know the real me. Obviously this is my weblog and I intend to make it exciting to read at ll times and I mean that in the real sense of the word exciting.
Please feel free to always post your comments on any of my postings and if you dont break any of the web's standing rules on posting comments, then you can be sure I'll show your comments on my blog (afterall, this is a democracy isn't it?).
Well what else can I say than that I am accessible anytime so feel free to contact me and ask any questions you might have you can also make suggestions on how I can improve on my blog and maybe a little tip on how I can become the next president of Nigeria. Ciao.
