RAG DAY IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS; YES/ NO?

 

Students of Nigerian Institute of Journalism participating in Rag- day ceremony.

Rag-day, as it 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 personality in rags and roaming the street for the purpose of making money.

  

 Based on what was learned, rag-day was initiated by institution governors or president of student union in the sense that its purpose is to help children in need, particularly in the orphanage........

  

 It is so funny that these days, rag days are not celebrated with the orientation of charity any longer. but rather, it is still a day students look forward to for the wrong reasons.

They use the day as an avenue to fill their own pocket forgetting the purpose of the existence of the social event in the first place.
