Allahismad:

Santa villa na where mama Ebuka dey stay na with that her egusi soup that has lumps of ground egusi as meat but the fufu na wire that time, you go finish 100 naira food that time and will remain in static equilibrium till further notice.

I swear

Eni-Njoku diet

I miss mama ebuka yam and beans

I schooled in UNN, but went on to study in other climes outside the blackman's sphere of epileptic influence.

And frankly, some of the things you guys are celebrating here are the things we should all be trying very hard to change for the better

1. Hostel accomdation: what UNN has are pigs stirs, not fit for human habitation. I close my nose tightly when passing any of the hostels, and would have closed my eyes as well if only I could walk without them. I spent only two nights in Eni-Njoku and ran away, even lost the hostel fees paid. Tried again the next year at Akpabio, but could not workout how to take my bath in such filth.
A school like UNN schould have well maintained hostels with even ensuite rooms. The hostel grounds should be well manicured lawns or gardens suitable for intellectual work. What we see inspires ingenuity, and matter a lot.

2. The food: about Four refectories that are totally dysfunctional, looking like abandoned train stations lost somewhere in rural India. Refectories should be privatised and run to international standards of hygiene. The building is there, just equipment and managers.


3. Studying every where except in the library, the actual building that was meant for studies. The so called biggest library building in West Africa is probably still wearing finishing paints with nothing inside. A library should boast of delectable study spaces, both private and public ones. Free computers and internet access, online libraries like Jastor etc should be a click away. An enticing outdoors to invite you to come and refreshes you every single time you take a break.

4. Cultisim: Some balmed slow pokes earlier. While I understand how the likes of Wole Soyinka and his age mates who went to University from many villages could misinterpret a call to fraternization and enlightenment as the next level and reincarnation of there village masquerade cults. Actually killing each other in veiled gangsterisim for stupid and imaginary trophies. I cannot understand why anybody born in the age of computers and internet, who has the opportunity to see what his mates from other parts of the world are doing, will subscribe to such disgusting lifestyle. Among reasonable people on the other side of the colour divide, Fraternities are actually things you display proudly in your CVs, not because of the pedigree, but because they are usually full of a history of charitable works, volunteering and fund raisers for worthy courses. (those guys are so lucky their Nobel laureates did not mistake fraternization as deadly grassland cults used for village warfare)


5.Utility water and Power. If a school with an Engineering faculty with the brains that built the Ogbunigwes, the brains that helped Boeing develop composites, MIT Aluminis, hideous characters that cast guns in school foundries,- can not overcome the little problem of generating it's own sufficient electric power and recycling water for its campus, it says so much about the kind of research work they are doing, or the fact that consecutive Vice Chancellors failed woefully in both vision and leadership.
There is a jet Engine still sitting un-dissected in UNN Mechanical Engr. Workshop. We always went round it to submit our workshop reports - shame. Or the fact the workshop still has those old lathes recovered from the civil war, no CNC machines, no laser cutters. Years later when I bought my first inverter welding machine, I discovered the times spent there were a waste as I could not even weld anything properly, and had to re- learn from an iron bender who never went to university.

Unproductive studying for regurgitation during exams is so much 1950s. Today's world require utilitarian education. You either have it or you don't. UNN is too back ward for the next century, this is not something to celebrate. And do not compare yourselves with other mediocre schools across the country, rather compare with the best to some day become one of the best.

Lol
I can so relate

From water scarcity at Eyo ita hall to okpara hall. Eating well at Chitis, lol

To GS building crowd during test, to Anukanka, God rest his soul. To Akionu disturbing us at female hostel like Akintola hall every night pursuing someone or saying one thing one thing. Hahaha

Learnt the school is too FILTHY.
It clearly depicts Nigeria in its real form

SlayerForever:



Which side for Odenigwe?

Ejima junction side

Odidigboigbo:
During my years in UNN, I stayed in Akintola, it was a friend of mine that stayed in Eni-Njoku that introduced me to Santa Villa. Omo, immediately I finished my lectures, I will treack from my faculty to Santa Villa, to eat strong fufu that will last me for the whole day. Normally Upka Di Oku is usually a breakfast as a Lion

I can relate to all of them. UNN is one hell of a tough school.

yorubakid:

Ejima junction side

Wow. Nice one.

Na old student you be. nlst does not exist again

richmondefosa:


This thread just brought back memories.

I did not attend UNN but i lectured there briefly in 2017.

I am tempted to think Abuja building disappearing network is a spiritual thing.

Chitis was the real place to eat fam. They had nice bread and those small cupcakes and pies. I relished every meal i ate there.

Nsukka taught me the different grades to Okpa. If you invite an Enugu or nsukka babe to your place, offer her okpa and she will bring out a knife from her bag. You will see she came prepared. Okpa and cold coke does it for me.

NSLT can be likened to 'Faculty' Car Park in Uniben during Night class.

I joined that Mama Ebuka's yam and beans queue i won't lie.

SUB. lol.

You should add ikenga hotels and golden valley to that weekend parties. Kenan lodge had small rooms.

I miss Nsukka so badly.

Abuja building has very thick concrete walls like bunkers that block cellular network.

Lol, I can relate to all.

Mama ebuka yam beans

funny life in federal universities....

Somebody should come up with Unizik own let me check something.

Number 4.
There was a day we were writing a 400L exam (Statistics student), all the invigilators went out of the hall, omo I brought out my phone to browse for an answer. I nearly smashed my phone. I switched to SIM 2 (airtel), reswitched to SIM 1. Omo, I cried. Nothing worked. Abuja building.. ���

4, lol, that building surely has some network jamming system, 10...mennn, crowd is much, first years everywhere, na them sha get CBT, 12: lol, it's now GV and Asabana, Ikenga too

Bojack:
Till now i don't even know the meaning of SUB

Ah swear

richmondefosa:


SUB is actually a building. They’re lots of shops around it too. There’s also a Fayrouz hangout zone there.

Mama Ebuka is behind Chitis. Around pharmacy area.

I don really forget unn. I easily forget things of the past. I'm focused with the present n de future

Chaiii Nsukkadrillus!! I miss that place....Peace Park, palma restaurant, One Stop shop, jives, Behind Flats, prisons, Franco, Fulton Avenue, Cartwright, Danfodio, Odenigwe, Hill Top, Beach, Mkpor junction, Okuta close, Eze-opi, Mary Slessor, Carver building, guyyyy...the list is endless.

Abeg who remember COACHILE back then, Alvan boys hafa?

Mama Ebuka to the world!
Thank you guys for celebrating my mother. For all your kind words,I appreciate.

I dropped tears of joy reading your beautiful comments

She's definitely seeing this post

under that Abuja building is the RAP of the Biafran weapons manufacturing department during the war. it was in that bunker that the chemical Engineering department of UNN was entombed after the war. That place is the reason why Nigeria outlawed the study of chemical Engineering in UNN forever

You can't complete this without making reference to Nwanyi Okpa at Eni-Njoku hall. Her Okpa saved many

Power failure especially just before and during exams

That Long queue from Bosso to GK in fut minna na die plus Mr Ibrahim wahala. I remember the man who control the queue and arrange student into the Macapolo advance the queue

I relate
