Appreciation and Appeal!

Dear followers,

It's been a while since you heard from your beloved school blog. This was due to the preparation for last week's Loyo Day. It takes time and efforts to organise an event of such magnitude as this. But with team effort, and to the glory of God, it was well worth it.

Loyo UK would like to thank members and guests for making this year's Loyo Day a huge success.
The turnout was impressive, and without a shadow of doubt, everyone had a good time. Once again, we proved to the whole world why we are the best in every way.... we lead, others follow.

However, in the midst of celebrating another successful Loyo Day, let us not forget the present sad and sorry state of the school. The founder(s) laid a very good, solid foundation, which most of us benefited from, but successive Oyo State governments have gradually eroded this very core foundation over time, through greed,  lack of respect and of course ignorance. It is a miracle the school is still standing.

One of the primary aims of Loyo UK is to help our Alma Mata as much as we can, (the very least we owe it!) and to achieve this, a proportion of our subscriptions is being set aside for repairs and renewals and or other desperately pressing needs of the school. But this is not enough. If all old boys living in the UK should pay their monthly £10.00 subscriptions diligently, then, we would have gone far. This, sadly, is not the case. This is a school that gave us sooooo much (including that Loyo swagger), the school that we proudly announce to the whole world that we attended, that we sang its anthem with such vigour and to the hair and goose pimple raising standing ovation of our guests only last Saturday! We just cannot afford to make a laughing stock of this once great thoroughbred. If you stopped paying your subscriptions for whatever reason(s), it's time for a rethink. And if you never started at all, it's also time for a rethink. We all want to restore the school to its past glory, never mind the "I don't care attitude" of the people in the corridors of power. Perhaps, they attended Oke Ibadan, Lagelu and or GCI (lol!) It makes sense.

Please submit ideas and suggestions in your comments on what you think the school needs. These will all be gathered together, and implemented in order of popularity. Howver, bear in mind that funds are limited.

Until next time, Up Loyo!!!
