The'll open next tommorow.

Heard that the break is just for two weeks. Really pissed off with this sudden turn around.. T-fare to our various source of destination outside oyo-ibadan has increased beyond one's monthly allowance! where to go is now a mystery to us.

No light for over 3 days, water is in a very short supply and foods serve in the cafeterias is quiet annoying.

The state of this nation is really miserable to an average Nigerian. sometimes, I really wonder if we're bound to suffer.



Goodluck, You're a curse to thus country sir! Nice partying gifts for Nigerians.
