ABSU RAG DAY

What happened in Absu RAG Day will surprise you.

Abia State University Uturu dives into there student week as it commenced yesterday with fasting and prayers.

In today's programme, it's all about RAG DAG.

#RAG DAY, as it is fondly called and cherished in our tertiary institutions of learning, is a day set aside by the social planners and organizers of institutions which entails students dressing like mad personalities in rags and roaming the street for the purpose of making money.

Based on what was learnt, ragday was initiated by institution governors or president of the student union in those days as a charitable affair in the sense that its purpose is to help children in need of one thing or the other, particularly in the orphanage. It's funds was also sent to hospitals to help the needy and less priviledge.

It is so funny that these days, rag days are not celebrated with the orientation of charity any longer. But rather, though it is still a day students look forward for the wrong reasons. They use the day as an avenue to fill their own pockets forgetting the purpose of existence of the social event in the first place. 

It's similar to be a crazy day for some and a hustling day for many.
As tradition it may be, this is mostly for freshers who got admitted into the university.

Let's know your opinion about this.
