MACOSA MOURNS GEN-Z REPORTER.
REST IN PEACE, GLORIOUS AMINATA BANGURA (GEN-Z REPORTER)

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Faculty of communication, Media and Information Studies, F.B.C., announces the sudden loss of our beloved student, Glorious Aminata Bangura, popularly known as GEN-Z REPORTER.

Glorious was a student in the BA. 2 Department of Broadcast Journalism, who had just been promoted to BA. 3. She was a vibrant, kind, and joyful soul who brought life and laughter to our faculty. Her energy was infectious, and her presence was a gift to everyone who knew her.

Her illness was announced only recently, but we take solace in the belief that God’s will is supreme and unquestionable. As a student body, we humbly accept His (God's) decision, even as we mourn the departure of our dear colleague and friend.

We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to her grieving family, her friends, and all members of the Faculty of Communication, Media, and Information Studies. May the Lord grant you all the strength and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.

Till we meet again, Glorious. Rest in eternal peace.

With love and solidarity,
MASS COMMUNICATION STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (MACOSA) EXECUTIVE

UNBELIEVABLE STORIES.
TODAY'S VIDEO EDITION IS COMING FROM Solomon Yomba: BE INSPIRED!

I come from a family of modest means, and if there is one lesson my upbringing has taught me, it is this: perseverance, skill, hard work, and knowledge can take a person further than circumstances ever will.

I am the first person in my family to attend university. That responsibility is both an honour and a motivation, and it has shaped the way I have approached my journey at Fourah Bay College. From struggling with late fee payments to working while pursuing my studies, I have experienced the realities of balancing survival with academic ambition.

My journey at Fourah Bay College has been bittersweet. There were moments that tested my resilience and others that reminded me why I began this journey in the first place. Through every challenge, I remained steadfast. I refused to give up.

Today, I look back with gratitude and pride. Serving as the Media and Publicity Coordinator of MACOSA, working at AYV Media Empire, graduating as an Honours student, and earning one of the faculty's highest academic performances—possibly as a First Class candidate—are reminders that our struggles do not determine our destiny. Instead, they prepare us for it.

Attached to this post is an AI-generated video I produced for my Broadcast Workshop module, capturing my journey at Fourah Bay College. It is more than a class project; it is a reflection of resilience, growth, and the belief that no dream is too big when determination leads the way.

Enjoy!

WELCOME TO OUR SERIES OF UNBELIEVABLE STORIES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENT AT MASS COMMUNICATION THAT WILL BE GRADUATING THIS DECEMBER.

OUR TODAY'S EDITION IS FROM Kelfala Kargbo .....................................................................................................................

I never had the opportunity to pursue university education. I forced it.

Where I come from, acquiring tertiary education is a privilege – I'd say, save me, no one has been lucky to be enrolled to the uni.

Sad to say, my mother never underwent through classroom education but is so enthusiastic about her children going to school and acquiring what she never had. She'd usually tell me that she had always wanted to attend school but her parents didn't give her the opportunity, something, she says, she'd not forgive her parents for.

She knows the value of education equally as my father who stopped at O'Level. I also admire his ingenuity and he is the person who usually recommends books for me to read. Whenever we spend time together, he'd always narrate books he had read and also folklore that serves as life's lessons.

In 2022, I got admitted to FBC the same year my father retired from the military. He had served the military for nearly 35 years and had fought both Sierra Leone's civil conflict and the Liberian war. He is an experienced retired soldier.

Because he was trying to get his retirement benefits, one of his good friends, a late man now, loaned him the money, so I could pay my fees in full. The rest is history.

During my formative days at the Faculty of Communication, Media and Information Studies (formerly Mass Communication) things were really difficult, as I received only Nle200 per month – Nle100 after two weeks. It was obviously not enough.

What I did do to survive?

I survived through some of my colleagues in class. I am someone who is passionate about teaching, so some colleagues would pay me mostly after I either do their assignments, guide them to do it and also tutor them on the modules considered difficult.

I and a few other colleagues started organizing tutorials – from year 1 to 4. There, our classmates paid a little sum to be part.

There were days when I had money only enough for one-way transport fare. Smartly, I'd wake up very early and trekked from my home to Model Junction where I'd wait for the bus that only cost Nle4 and later Nle5. The rest, they say, is history. By the time I jumped on the bus, my body sweated profusely, which mostly led to interrogation from friends: "Did you trek to this place?" I would dismiss "it is part of my DNA to sweat".

Subsequently, I faced the most difficult times during my year two days. An incident occured that almost ruined my being to the Honours class but as fate would have, that academic year became my best. I topped my class with a CGPA of 3.92 combining both semesters. I am the only student in class who has ever had higher grades than Mahmoud Jalloh – I'd say he is one between the two of the smartest people I've sat in class with.

Among but not limited to what I attained so far at the citadel:
- Public Relations Officer – Koinadugu and Falaba Student Union
- Public Relations Officer – The West Africa Methodist Collegiate OldBoys' Association - FBC Chapter
- Vice President – The West Africa Methodist Collegiate Old Boys' Association
- Campaign Manager – Team Tamba Mattai, MACOSA
- Chief Minister and Ambassador-at-Large, MACOSA
- Highest CGPA – Year 2
- Highest CGPA Department of Media – Year 2 and 3.
- Top in Communication Skills(72%) and Communication Law(96%) second semester second year
- Top in Research Proposal(76%) – Year 3.

The foregoing is not to brag but one to inspire you – no matter where you come from, if you dream, you can achieve it if you set your heart to it.

Today, I am proud to be a role model among my peers in my community.

Understand that you don't achieve greatness alone!

Despite being among the best student in my class, there were times I listened patiently to what others said.

Also, there were many ways I solicited help from colleagues – many, especially the ladies, would give me money and hope as though as I were their brother. My journey at FBC becomes even more memorable with the circle of friends I built. Sama James Tengbeh(in fact, he has been a brother since day one), Samba Kelfa, Donald Mac Benga, Abdul Bassir Alghali, Mathias Chebu Gblah, Nafisatu Olayinka Deen, Nasurulia Barrie, Haja Aminta Sillah and a host of other members of Team Excellence, a study group and those whose names not mentioned but know we have each other's back. A special citation to a sister FBC blessed me with, Gwendolyn Blessing Coker. That lady is both a blessing and an inspiration. May God bless her.

I'd pause here to not bore you with my days at FBC.

See you at Amphitheater in December, Inshallah.

Mass Communication Students' Association (MACOSA) has once again affirmed its enduring commitment to the welfare and advancement of its members.

Yesterday's Sign-Out Ceremony, already the subject of widespread commendation, marked a defining milestone in the academic trajectory of the graduating Class of 2026. Far transcending the conventions of ceremonial observance, the event constituted a formal recognition of years devoted to intellectual rigor, perseverance, sacrifice, and personal transformation a fitting conclusion to the demanding yet formative experience of university education.

The Class of 2026 has established itself among the most distinguished cohorts in the faculty's history, its cohesion, ingenuity, and meticulousness manifest in the bespoke Sign-Out T-shirts conceived, designed, and produced from China for the occasion. Each garment, bearing the emblem of MACOSA, stood as a tangible expression of collective identity and enduring institutional pride.

Particular commendation is owed to the outgoing MACOSA President, Tamba Mattia and the members of the executive team, whose coordination and foresight ensured an occasion of exceptional quality and distinction. Their tenure is characterized by purposeful leadership, humility, and an unrelenting dedication to the interests of the student body qualities that have left a lasting imprint on the Association's institutional legacy.

As the graduating class advances into the next phase of professional and personal development, MACOSA extends its sincerest congratulations and enduring goodwill. May the knowledge, values, and experiences cultivated within these halls continue to guide your pursuit of excellence in the dynamic and ever-evolving discipline of communication and media. We hold every confidence that you will distinguish yourselves as worthy ambassadors of the faculty and as agents of meaningful contribution to society at large.

Congratulations, Class of 2026.
