A NEW TERM, A NEW THING
While our students were home with folks relishing the joys of Christmas, the LJC Faculty began a
workshop on the 19th of December 2007. Like most sacrifices in life, the workshop yielded great
fruits for the academic life at Loyola Jesuit College. Our teachers are now fully trained in the use of
the interactive whiteboard for teaching, employing the StarBoard software and accessories.
A representative of the StarBoard company runs a demo for LJC teachers
Among other versions, we have chosen the StarBoard FX Series (Hitachi's most advanced and popular
interactive whiteboard to date) to ensure that our students derive maximum benefits from this new
pedagogical tool. A versatile high-performance product now fully installed in the LJC Resource Room,
it has an anti-glare steel-backed projection surface for dry-erase writing etc. Connected to the
internet, our teachers can now download rich-content material to enhance their teaching or slideshows.
Due to the cost implications, we cannot yet afford to have one in each classroom. Hence the teachers
are queuing up to take their students to the Resource Center as soon as classes begin this term.
Hey, with a cheque of N360, 000 you can ‘order’ the LJC Principal to place one in your child’s classroom!

WELCOME TO LJC: We are glad to welcome the following
new members of staff into the Loyola Jesuit
College Community.

any staff) in the Mathematics and Economics departments.
We welcome Mrs. Vera Biachi Chukwuemeka,
who joins us from the Abuja International Academy.
With nine years of teaching experience, Vera is a
member of the Nigerian Institute of Chartered Economists
and a WAEC/NECO examiner.

in the catering sector. The taste of the pudding is in
the eating. As we welcome our new staff members,
we wish Mr. Emaikwu and Mrs. Etim best wishes in
their alternative endeavors.
APOLOGY FOR FAILED TEST: We apologize to our
parents whose children could not write the TOEFL test
scheduled for December 15th. It was a global problem;
below is the official response from Eileen Tyson, the
ETS (Educational Testing Service) representative:
“I'm writing to let you know that ETS experienced an
internal service disruption during testing this weekend
for the December 15 administration. In many test centers
only some students were able to test. I believe in
some countries no students were able to test at all. We
are acutely aware of the fact that this is a terrible time to
have problems with a test administration given upcoming
admission and testing deadlines. ETS is working
right now to establish a makeup test administration for
the affected students.... We are planning it for as soon as
possible after the holidays so students can get their
scores to universities. I will keep you updated on the
status…. We have created a letter that students can give
to their universities if necessary, indicating that the failure
to receive scores for the December 15 test was not
the student's fault. We are considering how to make this
available, and I will update you on this as well. Fortunately
muskie testing is not impacted since that will not
begin until the new year and I believe most Fulbright
testing has been completed. This has been a good testing
year so far, so to see this take place now is unfortunate
and we are working quickly to make arrangements
so students can be assured they will be able to test. If
advisors are asked by students about the situation, I'd be
grateful if they would convey that ETS is working on a
makeup test administration and that Prometric will contact
them once we hear from centers that they will test
on the new date. Ask them to please try to be patient as
we make arrangements, and assure them we want to test
them quickly. We are sorry this happened. Don't hesitate
to let me know if you have any questions. Best regards,
Eileen.”
Our affected parents/students who still desire to contact
ETS may do so by e-mail: etyson@ETS.ORG
GRATITUDE TO OUR GENEROUS PARENTS:
We thank Mr. & Mrs. Anukam who donated to us
100 copies of Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven
Life. Each of our SS-3 students has received a copy
of “the life-changing book.” The other copies are
available in the Senior Library for other students
and staff who may wish to savour Warren’s 2002
work that has sold over 25 million copies. We also
thank Mr. Reginald Ihejiahi for donating to our
library two copies of Chimanada Adichie’s Half of
a Yellow Sun.God bless you, Chris and Stella Anukam,
and Mr. Ihejiahi, for your consistent generosity
towards Loyola Jesuit College.

HELP US TO HELP YOU: For any important original document to be given out to a 'non-valid
recipient' (anyone that is not the student/parent concerned) the least requirement is a signed
authorization (NOT e-mail) from the parent of the student concerned. The signed letter of authorization is
subject to verification and the Principal's approval. Hence we encourage all to come in person
(preferably on appointment) to pick up WAEC, NECO or CAMBRIDGE results and certificates.
PORT HARCOURT PTA: The next meeting of the LJC Port Harcourt PTA has been scheduled for 27th
January 2008 at 3.00 PM. Venue is Mr. & Mrs. Afolabi Ojo's residence: 17 Akukwa Street, Shell Residential
Area, Rumukurushi, Port Harcourt. The LJC Principal says he will be there to take the roll call.
ABUJA PTA MEETING: The next meeting of the Abuja PTA will hold on Saturday the 19th of January
2008 at 4:00 PM inside the Divine Mercy Secondary School, along Jimmy Carter Street (Behind Dantata
Estate, after the Police Headquarters) in Asokoro, Abuja.
COLD ROOM FOR CAFETERIA: We have installed a cold room near the school kitchen, to ensure a hygienic
preservation of all our food items. The building extension to house the cold room has taken up part
of the passage to the main soccer pitch from the north side of the dining hall. First things first!
UPDATE ON THE HOT WATER PROJECT: Unfortunately, we were not able to install the industrial
water heating system for our children before this term, due to the huge financial and construction
implications. We have set up a fund for the system and would appreciate your contribution towards
completing the project. The system may gulp up to seven million Naira. A considerable number of
parents expressed interest in the project but only two made any practical response. We thank the two
Loyola parents who responded to our appeal: Dr. and Mrs. Wale Babalakin provided technical
assistance, and an anonymous parent opened the Hot Water fund with an impressive one million Naira
donation. God bless you. We await further responses from our parents. In the mean time, the Hostel Director
and the Matron have been instructed to cater for students who must take their bath with hot
water—for medical/health reasons.
KEY E-MAIL ADDRESSES: In the last issue of the newsletter, we published the e-mail addresses of the
key staff members of Loyola Jesuit College. Please kindly add to that list the e-mail address of Dr. Nnena
Ihebuzor, our pediatrician: doctor@loyolajesuit.org
BENIN PTA CHRISTMAS PARTY: On 26th December 2007, the Benin PTA of Loyola Jesuit College
organized a fine Christmas party on the main lawn of the Jesuit Novitiate in Benin City. Who says PTA
has to always be about long meetings The LJC Principal, who was in the ancient city for a Jesuit conference,
was delighted to hear his students sing the school song gracefully at the end of the party. Thanks to
Dr. Mrs. Ideh for providing a most sumptuous spread that overwhelmed the Pride and others present.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE: It is with sadness that we announce the death of our Jesuit brother, Alexis
Doghle SJ, on the 23rd of December 2007. Alexis was studying Philosophy in Congo (DRC) before he
was diagnosed with cancer in November of last year. Please also remember in your prayers Dr. Benedict
Ubah, the father of Nneoma in JSS-2A, who died on the 3rd of January 2008. May they rest in peace.

PREVENTING PILFERING: The LJC community
is privileged, blessed with many gifts. This
means our children do not need to steal. Sadly,
many of our students are not honest. We beg our
parents and guardians to join hands with us in
eradicating stealing among our students, expunging
a bad habit from our beloved children. Please,
always check your ward’s belongings. If you find
any item that you did not buy for your child, and
its acquisition seems questionable/unclear, please
return such items to the school for investigation.
They are likely to constitute pilferage. Also advice
your children to take good care of their belongings.
Do not be too quick to replace any item they
claim is ‘missing’. Carelessness is ingratitude towards
the One who has blessed us with our gifts.
GENUINE GIFTS NOR GREEK GIFTS: Under
no circumstance do we encourage our parents
and friends to give any gift to a staff of LJC. Please
desist from offering gifts to our security personnel
or teachers or any other staff of the college.
2ND TERM 2008 ACADEMIC PROBATION:
All those who did not score above the least acceptable
grade of 65% in their end of term Total Score
will begin the Academic Probation programme at
the very start of this term. This is to ensure that
before the First CA they may be in a better position
to improve their grades. Again, the LJC Academic
Probation program is not punitive. It provides
students the opportunity to improve their
grades through a supervised/focused Study Hall.
THE POWER OF THE PURSE: All student fees
are due. Hence we remind our parents to pay up
all outstanding school fees. We no longer carry out
overseas fundraising to support Loyola Jesuit College.
Hence we need the fees, and we need them
now. The last thing we want to do at LJC is to
place a restraining order on a student’s academic
activities here because he or she owes the school
money. Yet, more than goodwill, we need the
power of the purse to move the school forward.
INTER-HOUSE SPORTS COMPETITION: We
would like all our parents and friends to come celebrate
with us on the 16th of February 2008. Come
support your child’s House to victory! In addition,
the President of the Nigerian Badminton Association
will be present to inaugurate the LJC Badminton
Team on that day. This year’s Inter-House
Sports Day will not include any fund-raising, just
the sheer fun of sports competition.
VISITING DAYS: This is to remind our parents
that visiting days end at 5:00 PM. Please, make
sure you finish visiting with your wards before
5:00PM. There should be no need to have the
security personnel remind a Loyola parent that
every good visit/picnic has to come to an end.
Please note that we have introduced a tally system
to facilitate the parent-teacher meeting and have
also revised our age-old resumption day policy.
NON-VISITING DAYS: This is to remind our parents
that all visits to the school on non-visiting days
should be by appointment made through the Principal’s
office. This is the school’s functioning landline:
09-2900558. If that fails, here is the Principal’s
mobile phone number: 08054909665. You can always
send a text message if there is not enough
network to successfully place through a call. Of
course, there is e-mail—which is the Principal’s
most preferred option. Any parent inside the LJC
premises, by appointment or an authorized emergency
visit, should not request to visit with his or
her ward. Please note that this policy goes back to
October 1996, to safeguard the academic focus and
atmosphere necessary for students of LJC.
AUTHORIZATION TO PICK UP STUDENTS: The
security situation in our country is not what it was
11 years ago when the LJC class of 2002 was admitted.
As part of the school’s overall response to
the signs of the times, we insist that no non-LJC
parent or official guardian be sent to pick up a student
from the school without explicit authorization
(e-mail is insufficient) from the student’s parent.

INTER-HOUSE SPORTS COMPETITION 2008
Every Loyola parent is affiliated to a House, your ward’s! Experience therefore the excitement of
cheering your child’s House to victory! Of course, not everyone will eventually relish that victory. Hence
the four Houses, Connelly, Loyola, Regis and Xavier, have long begun preparations on and off the field/
tracks. As usual, the House Masters and Mistresses are promising victory in the face of stiff competition.
The House to watch is Regis. They are the most improved House, some would say “the reigning
House.” They have consistently emerged as the cleanest House this academic year. Is their recent progress
due to the fact that they have a new House Master and a new House Mistress—an unprecedented
change at the topmost leadership of a House Whatever the reason behind the all-round progress now
evident in the Regis House students, this is the time to justify all the turkey they ate last term!
Unlike Regis, Xavier House comes with a glorious past. But how founded is the confidence of the
defending champions Well, they recently won the Inter-House Quiz trophy. At the end of a very competitive
quiz, Connelly House succumbed to the new holders of the trophy. Connelly nonetheless won
the Hostel Inspection on 13th December 2007. But as February 16th approaches, Loyola House will remain
a force to reckon with. Until the end of last term, they were the defending champions of the Inter-
House Quiz. The members of Loyola House must still remember, with nostalgia, that they once claimed
the monopoly of winning the Inter-House Sports for several consecutive years since the inception of the
competition at LJC. What has happened in the last two years that ‘X marked the spot’
No Inter-House Sports Day would be complete without a race or two for the staff and parents.
How much of the genius of the parents is passed on to the children Come and see. We are inviting all
members of the Loyola Community, particularly our parents and friends, to our 9th Annual Inter-House
Sports Day. Ultimately, it is not about competition (needless to convince the Houses about that) but is
rather about building camaraderie within the House. The members of each House learn sportsmanship,
as well as the community value of mutual support towards a common goal. Ultimately, there are really
no losers where such team spirit is manifest. We can all be proud winners!
Such sportsmanship is most embodied in a noble Loyola parent, Mr. Mohammed Kabir Badamasuiy—the
father of our out-going Head Girl. Mr. Badamasuiy is the President of the Nigerian Badminton
Association, and Mr. and Mrs. Badamasuiy belong to Xavier House—the defending champions of
the LJC Annual Inter-House Sports. Surely, they will not let down their House. Thus we look forward to
a memorable sporting occasion!

IN MEMORY OF THE SIXTY ANGELS
By
Fr. Marc Roselli SJ
Dear John-O
As busy as I have been, I have been constantly thinking of the families, schoolmates, teachers and friends of
the students who died two years ago in that horrible plane crash. None of us will ever forget that day and the
days and weeks immediately following the tragedy. I am praying for and remembering: Wole, Uzoma, Toke,
Chinenye and Zikora. I am sure that you will have had a special service in honor of them. It was such a heartwrenching
experience, but it became ultimately a profound experience of faith and the resurrection.
I am praying for and remembering: Busayo, Uzo, Chukwuka, Chinweoke, Augustine, Chidinma Nzelue,
Chidinma Okafor, Onyeka, Richard and Peter.
From that tragedy I learned the mysterious workings of God. I also witnessed firsthand the goodness and the
compassion of so many people who reached out to us there within Nigeria and from all over the world. Of
course, we all wished that we could have had such an experience without the tragedy that prompted such an
outpouring of love. But we knew without a doubt that we were not alone. I am praying for and remembering:
Chisom, Vivian, Fanye, Helena, Amanze (I always called him Ronald), Ibra, Nnamdi, Ifeanyi and Uzodinma.
As a result of their deaths, LJC has Memorial Hall, and Jesuit Memorial College is now underway in Port
Harcourt. From the ashes, new life has sprung forth. Like Christ, those 60 students, are the grain of wheat
which ultimately leads to resurrection. I am praying for and remembering: Adeleke, Agu, Onawari, Aniefon,
Nkem, Ubani, Linda, Vanessa, Ibiso, Daniel, Chris, Whitney and Chigozirim.
Just as God led the People of Israel through their Babylonian captivity and led them through the desert, God
has led the Loyola Jesuit Community, then and now, to this present time. We look back, we revisit the memories,
but God continues to heal the lingering pain and wounds. We are reminded that healing is a process, and
that when the loss is of such great magnitude the process takes longer. But God is with us every step of the
way. I am praying for and remembering: Gabriella, Obongawan, Chinonye, Udeme, Nnanna, Busonma, Ijeamaka,
Chukwuebuka, Emmanuel, Adachi and Jachimike
John, it is a consolation to me to know that you are there at LJC, with all your personal and pastoral talents,
gifts and instincts. The school community is blessed and fortunate to have you now as their leader. Two
classes (years) that lived through the tragedy have already graduated. There are two classes (years) of students
at the school now who were not there when the crash occurred. The transition continues. Life, somehow, does
go on. Several teachers and staff have left LJC. You have been designated as the one to guide the school at
this time. I pray that you will know and experience God's grace and help as you need them.
I am praying for and remembering: Kenechukwu, Kelechi, Emmanuel Adeyemi, Sandra, Silvia, Chibuzo, Emmanuel
Loolo, Obioma, Chidera, Chioma, Stephanie and Mayowa.
In conclusion, I hope this day has been a day of blessings for you and the entire school community. I hope that
there has been some movement toward the grace of gratitude, a difficult grace to be sure. For although the
lives of those 60 students were cut short prematurely, they will always remain gifts to us who knew them.
I am praying for and remembering: Kechi Okwuchi
Kechi was spared and she is the sign of hope from that awful day. We do not know what her life will be, but
clearly that experience will shape her future. I remember and pray for the parents of all those students who
died two years ago, who are still struggling with unbearable sorrow and grief, who are dealing daily with so
many painful reminders of the loss and the absence. I know God will be with them and somehow touch them.
Carry on the good work you are doing.
In our Lord,
Marc

FR. JOHN-OKORIA IBHAKEWANLAN SJ
A LETTER FROM THE JESUIT PROVINCIAL
As the Jesuit Provincial Superior, Fr. George Quickley SJ periodically writes a letter to all the Jesuits in
the North-West Africa Province (comprising Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Gambia).
Interestingly, his recent letter focused entirely on our dear Kechi Okwuchi. Although addressed to the
Anglo-phone West African Jesuits, the letter is worth sharing with our school community:
My brothers in Christ:
When I was in the US in October, I called Kechi Okwuchi. As you know, Kechi is the only Loyola Jesuit
College student who survived the Sosoliso air crash of December 2005. I had been given her phone
number by Sr. Chika Eze, SHCJ, former Vice-Principal at LJC, and when I called the number I was expecting
to speak with Kechi’s mom. I was quite surprised when I heard Kechi’s voice on the phone.
My plan during my US visitations was to make a visit with Kechi at the hospital where she was undergoing
treatment in Texas. Part of her body was burnt in the fiery crash. She had undergone a series of skin
grafts to replace skin badly damaged in the accident. Immediately when Kechi recognized my voice she
swelled with excitement. “Oh Father Quckley, where are you Are you here in the US How wonderful.
How’s is everything” Her voice was full of energy and life. She was so upbeat. For someone who had
undergone what she had suffered for two years, I would have expected a more melancholy response.
For those who know Kechi, you remember that she was physically very attractive. Some of you who
taught her at LJC say that she was very conscious of her looks and took very good care of herself. Now
her looks have been disfigured and may never be restored completely. But Kechi is still very beautiful.
Her facial features may have been altered, but she possesses a beauty that goes much deeper than what
one can see in the body or on the face. For beauty is not how we see ourselves but how God sees us. No
matter what we think of ourselves, or what others say, or what we have lost, God always thinks we have
incredible dignity and beauty.
After speaking with Kechi for about five minutes, I decided that I would not go to Texas. She had so uplifted
my spirit that I decided she was not the one who needed uplifting. Her insight about God and life
was a lesson I still needed to learn.
As we celebrate Christmas, let us remember Kechi’s courage, determination and beauty and let it inspire
each of us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. What we lack, or what others may think about us or even
what we think about ourselves is not important. God sees something in each of us that is far more beautiful.
As followers of Christ, we are people of the kingdom of God, and Jesus, the King born in Bethlehem,
appears to think we have unimaginable loveliness and worth and for this reason God sent him into
our world. May the blessing of the light of the new born baby be with you during this Christmas holiday
and throughout the New Year!
Yours in the Struggle,

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
The son was born a long time ago,
When life was not under man’s ego,
The lands thrived with fruits and beauty,
And the stars, moon and skies reigned in serenity.
Our Father, Our friend declared……
It was good.
The sun set a long time ago… and has not risen yet
The Sun cries foul, father of all age,
The moon subsides to the calamity of the night.
Death and Darkness prance about playfully.
Life and Light are caged like weak dogs
Liberty is a shadow, and hope chases it
Now the pigs call foul
Our husband has gone mad again
The snakes’ venom is like tea to us.
We are like dogs, eating from our master’s crumbs.
Man is dying, poisoned by our brothers
It is no more good and that is the truth
A bitter one to change, we cannot find the root
Perhaps the sun should not have set,
And bring us agony we cannot forget.
Our heroes are dead, no-one remains.
Our people pray about a dead king
Whose last words will lead them to the graves
Even though we are crushed by our brother,
Bound and gagged by flesh and blood
Killed and skinned by the body man has
Burned and scorned till thy kingdom come…..
The knees…must bend…. one day.
The sun set a long time ago… and has not risen…. Yet
FRIENDS
Friends are the flowers
That grow in the garden of life.
They brighten up one’s day.
They take away your strife.
Friends are always there,
Whether you like it or not.
In times of despair and trouble
They will always keep you in thought.
Friends are the joys
That get you through the day.
Without them shining their light,
We may never find our way.
Friends are the angels
Sent from heaven above
Forever to guide and care for us
And shower us with their love.
Friends are the diaries
We pour our hearts out to.
They keep our secrets locked away.
Without them, what would we do

A FRIEND
My Lord said:
“When you live in the past, with it’s regrets, I am not
there, My name is not “I was.”
When you live in the future with its fears and uncertainties,
I am not there; My name is not “I will be.”
I searched day and night,
For something I never knew.
I wondered,
And I pondered.
I searched all while long,
Until one day,
I found out what I really long for.
What I searched for was not far away
It was very close to me,
And it was no one else.
It was just you.
The pure definition of a FRIEND.
