The beautiful ones are making strides - Fransceca Obadan

‪#‎BusyBeauty‬&Brains...
"Classy", "Chic", "Clubber", "100% social", "Bad", "Promiscous",
"party rider" and the likes is the first thought that comes to many
especially non-Akokites, when they see or hear of a typical unilag
babe.
Now, I'm not denying the existence of these species in the school of first choice. In fact over time, they've become more sophisticated and more promiscuous and 'badder'. But as they improve in what they know how to do best, a new species emerged- not like they never existed all along, they just were in trace amounts.
These newbies weren't and aren't just pretty and having their sense of class, they are smart- outright smart and they prove that in their classy Grade Points.
But then, the story doesnt end there. Lately, the newest version of the brand evolved. These babes aren't just hot and smart or rather 'Beauty and Brains' like we call them, they have something extra. Industrious. Yea, that's the word. They are industrious.
I recently realized that every chic in this category either has a
business venture, a business plan or is acquiring one skill or
another. These babes go from dealing in basic commodities and
consumables such as food items (noodles& egg/ snacks precisely), toiletries, hair and sexy makeup, lovely accessories and trendy footwear (even got one of those today) to working part-time or owning stalls off campus, not forgetting to include the bloggers- almost everyone owns a blog these days.
Whatever the vision or reason for their start-up is best known to
these individuals but we can simply just agree that these babes aren't lazy or better still, they choose not to be.
Let's not forget that all these versions of the 'typical Unilag bae'
still exist but the community of greates Akokites and others would
most definitely look forward to seeing the extinction of the former
and an establishment of the Busy, Beauty and Brains.

ADEBOYE AND OYEDEPO: MEN OF GOD OR MEN OF GOB? by Sylvanus Omoniyi

I want to say something. It is important. But before then, I want to thank all my enemies all over the world who have been supporting me. May God support you with evil things. Also, I want to appreciate all the witches and wizards in the world who dearly love me. Thank you very much. If witches and wizards could like me, who are you not to like me? I have given up on humanity because everyone is stupid. I have decided to be true to my heart because people are not reasonable again, especially in Nigeria. I am yet to find a single reasonable being in Africa. Everyone in Africa is an asshole. We are dumb asses. See, it is not that I derive any pleasure from insulting people. Not at all. The only thing is that I get pissed off when people are being unreasonable.  I have been performing a lot of experiments. On social media. And in reality. You cannot even understand the way I think. Everyday, I strive to be less afraid and to have more freedom. I try to look at things and people and und

One day, I'll write about this place

Unilag Cresol; a derivative of a congenial isomer. One day, I'll write about this place - Kunle Adegunoye. Even after leaving you , I dare not compare you to any other. From the front gate through the Senate building to the back gate, your serenity describes a genuine tranquility. I was a bit baffled when Akokites regard you as the school of first choice and nation's pride. I thought it was normal for them to bask in the ephemeral euphoria of having their education in Nigeria's first University established by the Act of Parliament. Time and again, you have made bold the claim of superiority to others. In my four years here from 2011 to 2015, you twice led the table of Nigerian universities according to NUC. Not only were you "first choice", you taught others how to be first in everything. Our first pride in you was the unilag radio, 103.1 established in 2004. When others saw and started making efforts to achieve the set feat, you moved a step ahead to havi

Taiwo Adewole, a man from the past future

Image
After returning from an invigorating dance arena at the Education love garden, a curious Kunle asked Taiwo, his ne'er calm friend why he was in the habit of liking his own Facebook posts. Taiwo laughed uproariously and the walruses in the jungle shivers with delight. He pondered the question, laughed again, snorted snuff into his three nostrils, emptied a human skull of last week palmwine and orijin into his snout and said,  "my boy, do you know why, when the lizard survives a fall, it nods its head in self-congratulation? Kunle kept quiet. SMH! Taiwo continued after downing two bowls of nkwobi, three plate of indomie and a human skull of Lager beer and quickly checking his class whatsapp  page to see if anyone wants to pay for docket or class due, "because if the lizard doesn't, no one else will". "If I don't like my post, no one else will", he concluded. Then he took a selfie with Kunle's phone(he had been told about the kamikaze effect
