We cannot dispute that, while great men are produced, their forms vary. Let's have a look at the various classes of boys at Obafemi Awolowo University. 1. The Leader : These guys are political idols from Departments and Faculties, who strive for loyalty, honor, and school pride. They are self-sufficient. They are forthright and accommodating. The continuous lookout to buy. their passion for societal improvement is never quenched. They are chosen as role models by many because nothing is hidden from them and knowledge flows from them. 2. The self-righteous : These people believe they are upright and flawless. They speak with less grace and ne...

Olurotimi Lois and Johnson Precious  In every academic setting, examinations can't be jettisoned. It's a prerequisite and hurdle that must be encountered before being considered qualified for the next step. Our correspondents have gone around the four walls of Obafemi Awolowo University to have the perception of students on whether an examination is considered to be a true test of knowledge. NAME: Tola Coker DEPARTMENT : Botany  PART : 1 No, It’s not.  Most times we end up getting questions about what we were probably not taught, basically testing the knowledge of what I was never taught about is not testing my knowledge because I’m obviously not a magician to think beyond or maybe some marking schemes that will not favour students that read for it.  Examination makes it looks like one is not doing enough, it encourages depression (A comparison between how a student reads and what he or she is getting does not always match) Most examination does not crown a student'...

Miracle Elvis   The million birds across OAU sky are nowhere to be found. One of the many things you find remarkable coming into OAU is the bats. Fondly, students say that a bat represents one student on the OAU campus. Personally, I named one after me and sometimes scream up at the sky and imagine it (the bat) soaring down at me. It never has though. But, recently the bats have gone missing, and it comes as a question of surprise. Where have they gone? In finding answers to the above, a few students gave their opinions. Some say it's the incessant rainfall these days. However, people argue that in the past even in rainy times like this, the bats were still very around.

The last group...

I mean, I stalked on him on IG for a few days, maybe a month or two, I don't remember who followed who, we get talking, we've met once, more like a business meeting, now, this meeting, is all for fun and pleasure not exactly what you have in your head. I needed a break, a new environment, I needed to talk to a neutral somebody, I had had enough of the routine, there's this thing 'Deronmu said to me one time, you have to be 70%mentally and 30%physically balanced to be termed normal, I was way below 5%, have you ever had this nothing-is-working feeling?, yeah, that was it, different sad real life ads popping on my page at the same time, you could call me depressed I would...

It has been twelve years since you heard from me and I have to say,it has been a crazy ride so far but as I promised while I was leaving, I'll give you everything in details. Life is a whole different experience here and I have to prepare your mind for what it is to be grown. There are no taps on the back from mother in the morning to get you ready for the day,neither is there a plea from mother for you to eat. You have to do these things yourself without any supervision.      Schooling is far from the usual. There are no school bells to tell you it is time to eat neither are there bells to tell you it is time to go home,you have to figure it out on your own.

Assignments are mostly done with a computer (it is a machine used to process data and has a screen like a television and has keypads like the one on father's phone,only ...
