🎙️ Capacity Building Session | July Edition "Hail me Mazi!" "MAZI!!" If you know, you know. 😄 That call-and-response became the soundtrack of today's training session, filling the room with energy, laughter, and an atmosphere where learning came alive. Today, our volunteers had the privilege of learning from Dr. Mazi Eze, who took us on an insightful journey through confident communication, effective storytelling, impactful interviews, and public speaking. But beyond the lessons, he left us with something even more memorable; confidence. The confidence to own our voice, ask better questions, communicate with clarity, and tell stoaries that truly matter. Every "Hail me!" was more than a signature catchphrase, it reminded us to show up with confidence, own our voice, and communicate with purpose. The feedback from the team has been overwhelmingly positive. It was engaging, practical, interactive, and packed with lessons we'll carry into every interview, every camera session, and every stoary we tell. To Dr. Mazi Eze, thank you for investing in our growth and reminding us that every great storyteller must first become a great communicator. "Hail me Mazi!" "MAZI!!" Safe to say... we'll be hearing that in our heads for a long time. 😄 Unique Stoary...digital heartbeat of Uniport. 📌 Join the Unique Stoary Community on Telegram let's have real time discussions on latest happenings and matters arising in Uniport.

From skit makers, videographers, designers, writers, photographers, podcasters, to social media managers, Uniport is home to a growing network of creative minds using these platforms to document campus life, promote events, share academic updates, and highlight student culture. Through reels, short videos, livestreams, stories, and posts, these creators are shaping the digital identity of Uniport daily. 📍The Benefits to the University. 1. Increased Visibility & Branding: With the massive reach of TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, student creators help project Uniport’s culture, excellence, and vibrancy to audiences far beyond the campus. Viral content, engaging reels, and trending formats boost the school’s online presence and brand appeal. 2. Fast & Effective Information Dissemination: Departmental pages and student platforms use these social media channels to quickly circulate announcements, academic updates, timetables, events, and opportunities — ensuring information reaches students in real time. 3.

Here's How To Start Branding Yourself As A Student. Many students are walking around campus with vibes, exam stress and indomie energy, but zero personal brand. Meanwhile, your future employer is somewhere scrolling through LinkedIn like, “Who can I trust with this opportunity?” And you? You’re posting ‘outside tonight’ and shouting “God when”. 😭 Or are you saying: "I'll cross that bridge when I reach there😒" Toor. Let’s fix it now. Here are simple ways to start branding yourself, even as a student: no pressure, no ring light, no tripod, nothing. 1️⃣ Pick ONE thing you want to be known for. Not five. Not seven. Just one. 📌 “Future Pharmacist Pen” (already taken sha 😌) 📌 “Public Health storyteller” 📌 “Campus tech guy” 📌 “Makeup artist who saves students’ pockets” Your brand starts when people can say: “That’s the person that does…” If they can’t complete that sentence, your branding hasn’t started. 2️⃣ Start sharing the SMALL things you already know. People think branding is dropping TED Talks. No. It’s simply showing what you’re learning. Examples: “What I learned today in Biopharmaceutics…” “A study tip that helped me survive this week…” “A funny mistake I made during practicals…” “How I improved my makeup game this semester…” Consistency beats perfection, every time. 3️⃣ Clean your social media like someone expecting visitors. Your bio should not look like: “📍ABSU | ❤️Jesus baby | 🤪 Born to be wild | ✨Small girl big God.” Ah ah! My dear, what should people follow you for? Fix it: ✔ Pharmacy student | Future clinical pharmacist ✔ Public health advocate ✔ Content creator sharing study, career & lifestyle tips That’s a brand. Simple and clean. 4️⃣ Your DP matters. You can't be shouting “personal brand!” But your profile picture looks like someone hiding from EFCC. Pick a clear, friendly, confident photo, that’s your first impression, and that's what people trust. 5️⃣ Start showing your growth journey, not perfection. People don’t fall in love with “experts.” They fall in love with students becoming experts. Post things like: ✅Your struggles ✅Your small wins ✅What you learned ✅What you failed at and corrected ✅Behind-the-scenes of your daily grind That's what builds connection, and connection builds brand loyalty. 6️⃣ Network like someone that wants to leave Nigeria eventually. Reply comments. Talk to seniors. Engage other creators. Connect with lecturers with sense. Build your circle before you need your circle. 7️⃣ Be consistent even if your procrastination spirit is fighting you. You don’t need to post daily. Just show up enough for people to trust your presence. Remember: You are your biggest project. And people are watching you more than you think. If you start today, you won’t recognize yourself in 6 months. Branding isn’t just for influencers. It’s for students who want to stand out. Students who want opportunities. Students who want visibility. Students who want to matter. And that student can be YOU.
