Events took me to Wesley College in 2006. That would be the second time after graduation that I would be there. The first being in 2002.
There is this feeling of anticipation and anxiety that many people have, when visiting place(s) they’ve not been to in a while. I was looking forward to once again seeing the school which I had so many memories. The school area, the workshop, administrative areas, chapel, the laboratories, dining and jubilee halls, the staff quarters and the hostel.
What I saw was an eyesore.
The whole place looked so unkempt, so unclean. The dining hall was so dirty, I don’t know if students still eat there. The girls’ hostel was totally in ruins, the building even looked as if it was sinking. If the girls hostel as in ruins, then I don’t know what to say about the boys’ hostel. Abandoned.
The hostel I once knew, the hostel I had so many experiences, bitter, sweet, sour. This hostel no longer exists. No Aso Rock, No Griffin, Webster, Mead or Freeman. All gone. So Desolate. The Ceilings had collapsed.
It’s obvious that since I left school, no renovations or even maintenance has been carried out in the school especially the hostel area. Where is WESCOSA? Where are those people who come to the chapel for 50th, 40th, 30th anniversaries?
The hostel we knew no longer exists.
Something has to be done.
