Dear Esteemed Alumni,
We live in perilous and uncertain times. Just last week, there was a widespread rumor that the rapture would happen. Many across the world began to sell their properties or give them away in preparation. But as you know, the rapture did not happen.
The Bible reminds us in Matthew 24:36 that:
> “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Interestingly, on September 23rd, 2025, we witnessed heavy rainfall that caused severe flooding in many parts of the country. News headlines continue to bring troubling updates daily. Yet, if we reflect deeply, we will realize that there are still countless things to be grateful for. Even the ability to have internet data and connect with this message is a blessing in itself.
In the midst of tribulations and trials, let us remain strong and united. I want to encourage you— we are in this together. We are all still in our youthful and productive years; let us not allow the worries of the world to weigh us down. Instead, let us find strength in one another and continue to build lasting bonds as alumni.
On a brighter note, preparations are already underway for our upcoming Reunion. The executives and I are working consciously to make this a memorable reality. The theme for this year’s reunion is “OWANBE”—a celebration of life, fun, and togetherness, with food, drinks, live music, and that authentic oleku vibe. Entrance is free, but beware—exit fee is ₦10,000 (just kidding, but come prepared to have fun!).
In addition, we will soon begin the nomination process for new executives. Leadership is about continuity, and we want the baton passed smoothly to the next set of capable hands. Kindly join our alumni platforms and follow our social media handles to stay informed about the nomination process and other important updates.
I must say, writing to you always brings me great joy. I sincerely wish you success in all your endeavors. I may not personally know any governor yet, but I am certain that among us are future governors, presidents, chairmen, and chairwomen. That is why I am always rooting for you.
Please, when you get to your “paradise,” don’t forget your classmates—because truly, sharing is caring.
As you all know, I am a man of few words. Until we see again, stay blessed, stay connected, and stay inspired.
God bless you all.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Arc. Odefadehan Tayo Christian
President, Caleb Alumni Network
