My prayer for those seeking admission into UNILAGMay you suffer the annoying heat that DLI has to offerMay you strain your ears to hear the unwanted stories theat your lecturers would have to sayMay you have to stand for lectures even when you get there by 7:30 am cos your colleagues would have to keep seatsMay you get into brawls with your colleagues when they keep seatsMay you have to do

RED ALERT - AS EXAMS DRAW NEARERExam time is probably the most dreadful moment in unilag as all kinds of austerity measures come into play. Students now burn the midnight candle at three ends - middle inclusive. Those who neither attended lectures nor knew the lecturers now throng to the libraries to occupy space. The age old formula of LACRAMME LA POUR LA FORGET now comes into use. Students

AS BBs WON’T STAY PUT Nowadays, BBs no longer stay where they are supposed to be, as girls in their generosity flaunt them for the world to see and die of jealousy, (just in case you do not have one) Girls now say hello by waving their BB’s right in your face so you’ll notice them even if you‘re blind. Some even go as far as dressing up their BB’s in suits or jackets that match their colour code

I’ve been hearing a lot of people discuss the above, wondering which brings success, happiness and money. Every human that ever walked this earth was gifted. Everyone has a talent, everyone has a gift. Normally, our passion points towards our talents.  Now, it isn’t unheard of that many do not realize their talent or reach their full potential during their sojourn on earth. A man

Are You A Bona fide?Biobaku Hostel is one of the top hostels in University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos. It is a community of the rich and the broke, the civil and the bad-mannered, the straight and the gay, the Christian and the Muslim and the atheist and the what-have-you-not, the light-fingered and the honest, the floaters and the hangers, the squatters and the ‘bona fides’ …  ‘Bona fides’…

Porter, I wan pour water! One of the problems of Biobaku, UNILAG, is disposal of waste. A month ago, disposing used water on the quadrangle of Biobaku, brushing one’s teeth on the quadrangle, urinating directly onto the quadrangle at night, dropping wraps on the quadrangle, spitting on the quadrangle, praying on the quadrangle… Sorry, I got carried away. A month ago, these things were

I wonder why people do not like being talked about. I read from a book that one way to live a life was to live your life making sure that all you do you would like to see written about you. From the response I got from my last article about guys of room216, things ain't that way as I observed, I meant no harm to anyone but for some unidentifiable reason guys just did not like it. Seems like

Shodeinde hall, one of the craziest places to visit in UNILAG, has never failed to leave an impression, though a bad one, in the minds of those that come across it. As a visitor to the hostel, I was greeted by the overwhelming stench of urine. Locating the toilet, which was my primary purpose of visiting, didn't give me problems as the smell got more concentrated with as each step I took brought

THANKS TO OKIRIKA UNILAG GIRLS NOW LOOK LIKE BEYONCE AND RIHANNAOkirika has been the saving grace for campus girls who always want to be as trendy as American super stars Beyonce, Rihanna etc. Unlike their male counterparts on campus who have to spend huge sums to look good girls just need to take a N30 bus to Yaba market do some 'bend down select', pick up some okirika at very low cost come down

I thought this was a letter Abraham Lincoln wrote his son, just found out it was a poem by Rudyard Kipling. It could be both.Our passage in UNILAG is for mental as well as social education. We all have social lives. There's always room for improvement.If by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;If you can trust yourself when all men

The Akokite here! Keeping you on top of your game. When I see progress, my heart leaps with joy. It did a triple-flip when I saw lagbook.com today. Why don't you check it out? You must agree that their homepage looks a lot better than it did on my last review. Thumbs up, Lagbook! You had a minute to impress me, you did in 5 seconds! I also noticed Lagbook's switched from 'ning.com' to 'grou.ps'

When you love someone, you love the sparkle in their eyes when they are happy or mad, you love EVERYTHING about them, the whole package (things you wouldn't give the light of day if you just liked them).
