50 Most Influential Students In Covenant University For the Year 2012

50 Most Influential Students In Covenant University For the Year 2012

Gabriel Esu (500L Electrical Engineering) ~~ @GabEsu

Photographer and graphic designer, style enthusiast, publicity and advertising consultant, lifestyle blogger. He did not necessarily pioneer all of these things but he definitely built bridges to help others travel from dreaming the dream to living the dream. Gab has inspired each of us in at least one of the many spheres of life he dominates.

Cyril Bryan (500L Computer Engineering) ~~ @cyrildixo

The entrepreneur fashion designer earned his stripes early and increased his area of influence with his clothing line. Being named as the chairman of the convocation planning committee for the current graduating set is a testament to his efficiency and we will surely be seeing more till this eagle flies.

Ayo “aywizkid” Ogedengbe (400L Economics) ~~ @aywizkid

Covenant University kings are synonymous with style. And while a majority of them reap the benefits of keeping up to the trends, a few like Ayo Ogedengbe shoulder the responsibility of setting such trends for the rest to follow. When it comes to fashion, he really is a king amongst kings.

Olawale Johnson (400L Economics)

The office of the student council chairman is the most senior student position in the university. Whether praise or criticism, the bearer of the position is often the most talked about and also the most listened to. This chairman stands out from his predecessors by being less confrontational but rather pulling the strings from the shadows and by maintaining precision in the brevity of his speeches.

Emmanuel Iruobe (500L Elect Elect)

The former student council chairman and dynamix award nominee for personality of the year is on many levels the godfather of university politics. His leadership skills emphasized by his oratory genius are his selling points and with his present role as the speaker of the student consultative assembly, his opinion is still held in high esteem by management.

Emmanuel Ogaze (400L Elect Elect)

The number two man on the student council is serving his third consecutive year on the student body. Such consistency in a student council where no condition is permanent shows that he is definitely doing something right.

Oghenerume Pela (400L Business Administration)

Brilliant and beautiful, she became a public figure as the coordinator of Project One Million souls and her role in the university choir. This year she was selected as female vice-chairman of the student council and now bears the responsibility of being the voice of the Hebron queens.

S.L.K (500L Elect Elect) ~~ @SLKomedy

Just when the era of entertainers was passing by, he changed the game up and made comedy recognized and respectable once more. By so doing, we can say his evolution of the game made it possible for other comedy kings like Ebiye and Namex to have a reason to be on this list.

Ebiye (400L Elect Elect) ~~ @Ebibz_baba

If you don’t get Ebiye’s jokes then you really shouldn’t bother with school. After all school is not for everybody. And it’s not because their simple, it’s because his material is just that good. Though christened the Nigerian Kevin Hart and the CU Basketmouth by industry observers, his fans just call him…Ebiye.

Bolade “Dayme” Ayeni (400L Computer Science) ~~ @Daymeonthebeat

He is the producer responsible for bringing the artist R-drey to the limelight with jams like Holy Swagga and has been mentioned among the top beatmakers throughout his four years in the Uni. And just when them young guns thought they could run him out of the game, he killed off the competition and was crowned the varsity’s premier producer at Sound On Sound last November.

David Adelakun 400L (Computer Engineering)

In photography, a world of many wannabes, this is the real deal. His works for Spotted Magazine, GMK Media and his very own Taiwo Adelakun Photography is evidence of his genius behind the lens. From any perspective you choose to take your picture, David will always come out on top of the photographer’s list.

Chris Ojukoko (400L Mech Engineering) ~~ @spotted_mag

Just when everybody thought nothing fashionable could ever come forth from Mech boys. Chris led a band of Mech boys in creating the biggest fashion magazine in the university history with a monthly event called SPOTTED SUNDAY. Meanwhile, SPOTTED magazine was spotted on sale in universities around the country and even on a shelf in Dubai….yes! Dubai!

Mackson Okotie (400L Civil Engineering) ~~ @MrlewinOkotie

A lot of varsity students have blogs but few have blogs that enjoys traffic of over 8000 daily views. One of such superbloggers is MacksonOkotie’s Blog, nominated for the Nigerian Blog Awards after barely two months of existence and being the voice (and gossip sharer) of the Nigerian youth. We sure can only expect more from him in the coming days. 

Ibukun Awosika (300L Computer Science) ~~ @Aunty_HotStuff

Another blogger who has made a difference is Ibukun Awosika a.k.a AuntyHotstuff. Her blog, SoulCaste.wordpress.com, in addition to amassing a large number of daily views has been recognized and endorsed by the sharpest minds in the room. When she serves food for thought, the world eats.

Kopho Jomo (400L Accounting) ~~ @Ko_phoJomo

Almost every girl in CU claimed to be a fashion designer till Kopho Jomo broke the doors down at Redefiniton 2012, stepped into the building and showed them exactly how fashion designing was meant to be done. She has since proceeded to making moves on the national scale and though she hasn’t commanded the respect she deserves on that platform, she still runs the show over here.

Isioma Egbunike (400L Chem Engineering) ~~ @MoMMasBuoi

If you get voted male fashonista of the year out of thousands of well-dressed gentlemen, anybody can hate and call it a fluke. If you do it two years running then everybody has to accord you the due respect. Isioma has done so and therefore has to be mentioned among the men that make fashion tick.

Chisom “Papa” (400L Indul Rel)

He has been starting for the varsity’s football team since his first year. Now, he is the most feared and respected football player in the school simply because he is by far the most talented. He is adept at every position on the pitch. To be honest, he almost did not make this list because we could not verify if he was even human.

Tobi “50” Ayo (400L Elect Elect)

He came into the Uni four years ago as a hyped basketballer. He superseded expectations and even won the varsity slam dunk contest still in his first year. Four years later, he still finds it difficult to find his equal on the court…and that’s on his bad days.

Davina Oriakhi (300L Accounting) ~~ @ISpitOnFake

As a Performer, songwriter, choreographer and event planner, if actions really did speak louder than words she would have one of the loudest voices in the room. Her social relevance and roles in event management has earned her a spot on the list and has her tipped for student government roles.

Mercy Audu (400L Business Admin) ~~ @spicygagaa

The self-dubbed “Duchess of Fashion” is our very own diva. She is the subject of conversation even when she is absent and turns heads whenever she makes a presence. Only a few people can turn up the heat as high as she can.

Sayedero Enytan (500L Chem Engineering) ~~ @SayederoEnytan

The fashion Engineer is probably the university’s most followed fashion blogger and can also be counted on for tips, updates and of course, trendsetting. In her final year, all eyes are desperate to find someone whose feet will be large enough to walk in the large stilettos she will be leaving behind.

Biola Jinadu (300L MIS) ~~ @BiolaJinadu

The damsel has made a name for herself in less than three years as a publicity consultant and model both in and out of the varsity, making her a role model among the thousands of aspiring barbies in the school.

Ellen Ukpi (400L Inter Rel) ~~ @grace_junkie

Her work speaks for her; present student council member, one of the manin architects of the last CDS week and an executive administrator of the CU alumni’s Hope Foundation. Her voice is respected in high places.

Akinlabi Adegoke (400L Mass Comm)

The top dog behind 360 Posh, the company responsible for the Trade fair film show in collaboration with Genesis Deluxe cinemas, and various renovations within the varsity premises among others. He is first grade businessman that is doing things that have never been done on the grounds.

VinchenzoNonso (300LComputer Science) ~~ @VinchenzoNonso

Publicity expert and Campus Heat Exec for Covenant University, his hands touch on everything and everything he touches turns to gold. He has a lot of street cred and is highly respected for his opinions.

Tobe Ejiofor (300L Psychology) ~~ @Tbejiofor

Tobe thinks differently, acts differently and inspires in a different way from the others. His brainchild, BlaackLifestyle is evidence of it. His style and persona speaks volumes and commands attention wherever he goes.

Seun Runsewe (400L Business Admin)

An entrepreneur and business consultant, she has proven her knowledge of the fundamentals of making money both in and out of the varsity. Though maintaining a low profile status, Seun has developed a powerful network but in and out of the varsity and is certainly a name to watch out for in the future.

Nara Ozim (400L MIS) ~~ @naraozim

The socialite extraordinaire has had her name on her lips for the last four years regardless of the topic of discuss.  As any other diva, she has battled her fair share of controversy but has always emerged above it all.

Priscilla Ephraim (400L Estate Management) ~~ @missprisybaby

The CST fashonista does not make loose public statements but rather  speaks with her style. The fact that she consistently commands our attention means she commands influence and a position on this list.

Wande Spice (500L Elect Elect) ~~ @wandeSPICE

A certified hustler with stakes in entertainment, corporate branding and project management. He has constantly reinvented himself to maintain his relevance.

Tolu Kumuyi (500L Mech Engr)

The former student council member has remained an important figure especially among the females though since vacating her position of power. The petit engineer is probably the most prominent student spiritual leader and it will be almost impossible to find anyone who disputes this selection.

Jermaine Judo (400L Pet Eng) ~~ @JerMaineJudO

Mr. IDGAF himself has one of the most “stand out” personalities around. Largely responsible for making IDGAF a recognized school of thought among many, his name, style and persona stands out and leads the crowd on the social scene.

Buchi Okoro (300L) ~~ @OldReligionBoss

Many believed Old Religion maybe had the most outstanding designs at Redefinition 2012, a lot of people said the same of their showing at the MTN Fashionweek. But despite the maybes, it is sure that they have captured a chunk of the market with their bold colors and patterns that cater to demand of the retro styled gents. Therefore, much credit goes to the brain behind it.

Goldie Iyanmu (300L) ~~ @theurbanboy

In his own words, “Clothes don’t make a man, but clothes have got many a man a good job”. His ability to stitch together items from different times into timeless outfits is unparalled. Its no dount his urban style raises the bar from swag to class.

Micheal Njoku (400L Industrial Maths)

Our very own superman, eyes stare and mouths close when he walks into the room. An ace model, socialite and style icon, his moves are still closely followed despite his less frequent public showings.

Odera Macfoy (500L Comp Engr) ~~ @oddymacfoy

Very often controversial in his manner of style, speech and behavior, he has kept his name on our lips for the last five years. He has a large share of lovers as well as haters but regardless of their orientation, people pay attention.

Leslie Holmmes (500L Elect Elect) ~~ @LeslieHolmmes

He has carved a niche for himself in custom tailoring, a field with many copycats. Specializing in high end suits and blazers for men and women who can afford to stand out in their dressing, his designs has made him the premiere and most sought after suitmaker in the varsity. 

Alex Oguntuase 300L (Chem Engr) ~~ @the_gaga_girl

Still popularly known as Alex da goddess, she commands a lot of attention from both the male and female populace as well as a strong social presence in person and online.

Bodun Aina (400L Civil Engr) ~~ @herdeybonds

There probably is not a more popular face in the student chaplaincy than this guy. He runs Olive Media,  earns points also from his academic and social life and is a role model to many.

Gabri (200L ICT) ~~ @I_AM_GABRI

He had the hottest jam in the University for a whole year and was most def the break out talent of the session. His music says “it fit be anybody!” but we all know it takes talent to make good music. Now we can only hope he lives up to the bar he has set for himself.

Jide Ajayi (300L Accounting)

Although just in his third year, he has managed to establish himself as a key decision maker in the varsity by making his voice heard in the right places. Assertive and politically conscious, he will also be in charge of the CDS week 2013.

David Oyawoye 300l (Pet Engr) ~~ @tdavisontop1

After making the student council at the end of his first year, he took a session hiatus from administrative positions and came back even stronger. With his positions as Campus Life committee and CST week committee chairman, he will certainly be around for a while and is already being touted as a future council chairman.

Tomiwa Akingbatuse (300l Elect elect) ~~ @Praize_Machine

He is probably the most enigmatic praise leader since the days gone of Ekeng Bassey and Victor Inyang. When the spirit of God moves him, he moves the crowd in their thousands and he has established himself with the great team of instrumentalists as an important part of the chapel experience.

Israel Adoba (400l Inter Rel) ~~ @Meisterisrael

After handling the CDS week 2012, he has proven himself further as a strong affiliate of the university management and was among the selected few chosen to address the school on the last Independence Day.

Nnamdi Mino Ehirim (400l Civil) ~~ @bossMINO

He has served as Exec on the Campus life committee, CST week committee, Trade Fair and Press and Media teams. He keeps a small social circle but has a large management network and is one of the first people consulted when jobs need to get done.

Damie Ajibola (Civil 400l) ~~ @ItzDamieAjibz

Ajibz is a Man’s man and also a ladies man. His exploits as well as controversies has earned him as much haters as fans, but it all comes with the territory. He has a way of making himself the man of the moment regardless of the situation.

Joseph Osagie (Josy) (Estate 300l) ~~ @joepeak1

He is not known by everyone but highly respected by everyone who knows him. His rate of income as well as expenditure stands him out as a mover and shaker on the social scene and recently, word on the streets is that he is looking to diversify his dominance by becoming. A player in the music industry.

Kene Okechukwu (Elect Elect 500l)

He's the complete package- academic/socialite/sportsman/entrepreneur.it will be impossible to single out a single sector he dominates because he does it all.in his final year at the varsity,young kings would have soon have to find a new king to model themselves after.

Wura Alese (300l Eco) ~~ @_Wura_

Known and respected for her congeniality, she always keeps the sunny side up and is a major player in all the diverse social circles. It is this versatility that earns her a place on this list.

Lanre Sonubi/ Odera 200l (B/Tech) ~~ @TheTalkCity

These are the two of the only three 200 Level students on the list. They justify their position by their sheer bravery because in two years they have grown from mere stand-up novices to wonderkid MC’S thrilling variety nites and college dinners. Very recently they launched their media outlet TheTalkCity and have amassed a decent followership. It’s obvious these boys are the future of varsity entertainment, but for now in the present they would have to share our final spot.
