Comrade Israel Joe, a Nigerian activist, expressed his disapproval of reunion events hosted by former students of a school years after they graduated on Facebook.
In a lengthy essay published on Thursday, October 13, Joe claimed that the majority of Old Students Association reunion events have turned into locations for married people to cheat on their partners with previous “crushes.”
Joe published the following in the article headed, “Old Students Association Reunion Party and Silent Sacred Immorality,”

There is nothing wrong with planning an old-students get-together party, especially if it happens at night. However, he wrote, “I can confidently tell you that it sometimes becomes a place where married men and women conveniently cheat on their spouses and where marital vows are murdered.”
In school settings, particularly secondary school, young people become involved in their lives for the first time. Usually, whether a man or woman, people develop strong feelings for and attachments to the person they are crushing on. These high school crushes eventually realize that there is more to life than what they initially claimed.
When they might have already gotten married, all of a sudden, there is occasionally a nighttime reunion party for former students. For those who wouldn’t come back but might want to rest or stay the night, they even go so far as to fill nearly every hotel room.
The married women tell their husbands that they are putting up with their former female classmates and they are granted permission sometimes by their unsuspecting spouses vice-versa
They get there to meet most times with their old time crushes who will in no time open discussions of how life has been and how they miss their school days.
Trust me, old emotions come up and in no time they would first disagree being in the same room with their male crushes but there is something about emotions you should understand. After they must have drank a little and interacted briefly, emotions would go further to suspend rationality, objectivity and personality. They signal going to the room for just mere talk.
They get in and of course the woman would try a bit to put forth a resistance, not because she doesn’t want it but because she doesn’t want to appear cheap to her childhood crush who is now also married with children. Shortly they imagined how much they have missed themselves and the fact that, what childhood kept away from them has been presented enclosed in a room.
They finally succumb to themselves and make cr@zy love. Yes, they feel guilty for doing it and vow never to try such again but one thing is certain, infatuation has come to reality. For the man, he feels good to have fulfilled a long time dream and to the woman she feels bad having to make that mistake. Sometimes some women won’t feel bad especially when the man at home treats them like trash. They quickly open up communication lines to this crush where they feel secure to have it with anytime.
One thing is certain. The woman will not tell her husband what happened because he might forgive her but will never have her in his house anymore. Some women have told their immature husbands about certain mistakes which landed them back to the street thinking they want to be honest with their husbands.
Trust me 99.99 percent of women would only take such immoral sacrilegious secrets to the house, 6 feet below the ground called the grave. For them that is the only place such a secret is safe.
Israel Joe isn’t condemning old student reunion parties especially the one of secondary schools but one should be watchful and careful for too many things happen there not meant for the eyes to see nor pleasant for the ears to hear.
They call it reunion but there is no federal minister, governor, senator or great business man or woman present, who would want to help others or their spouses. What are they really reuniting for? What purpose do such parties have? I know my secondary school old students might not be happy with this write-up but take it easy with me, I’m still a strong member like always.
