The long journey from a clueless fresher to a graduand's crowning moment is worthy of all the merrymaking. However, as you party these persons who massively contributed to your happiness this day will not even be invited for the party. These are the top people who you should consider honoring.
1. SUGAR DADDY
He was always there. He funded your lavish lifestyle and paid the house rent when you decided to abandon the hall of residence where daddy took you on your first day. His number was on speed dial when you wanted to change that wig. He was your second daddy only. He won't miss much, you will look for him when the dusty streets begins to get the better of you. Unfortunately, despite all his efforts, his efforts won't earn him a seat at the graduation party table even if he buys the heels you will rock that day. You are a graduated scandal.
2. THE ROLEX GUY
Remember when having two meals a day was a luxury? Dip your teeth into that buffet serving with more appreciation. You made it. "Omusadha" was always there. Early morning when you were rushing or when treating the previous nights' hangover. Like a mother, he fed you, at times on credit which you defaulted but he never whined. He knew you would return. This time you are gone and unlikely to return. He is not invited too.
3. THE "SECRET" LECTURER
You would not made it on the graduation list. You would have been grappling with retakes. You would have not been so proud but he made the fix and well he got his pay in full throttle! For imparting survival knowledge and skills, he will not be invited like the others you he did the same too.
4. THAT EX
You had planned to walk down the aisle after graduation. Things change. You can't even send him/ her an invite. You were the item. He/she was either when you literally had nothing... You heard her/him. Despite your close relationship then, you won't see eye to eye.
5. THE "MUYINDI"
His betting empire saw you through campus. His company was your "investment" idea. You learnt to take big risks, accept losses, make critical analysis and celebrate small wins. You will need these skills.
Enjoy your day!
