My first day in Ife, I will never forget, My first lecture in Ife, I will never forget baba Fakunle, I remember my first evening at Moz, I remember a forgettable day at old buka, I remember risky burger in Angola for 50 naira. If not for OAU, I would not be as bold as I am today. Long live great Ife |

Jarus - Economics 2001-2006 Ife made me and I thank God I attended that school because it is a good model of egalitarian society where nobody is above the law. Very free, challenging, competitive, motivating. Now, on a lighter mood, I can't forget teh following events/places/people Awo Hall Aro July 10(wasn't in school yet, but celebrated every year) Will exam hold? ewa day Awo cafe Awo common room Maximum shishi Iya egin old buka new buka Fabroo Expy Jingo Awo mosque battle of the stone(lol) ekaaro se fooso o dapo etc etc |

2004-2008. I lived in Moremi in my first year and finak year. 2nd year was spent in Ladoke Akintola Hall a.k.a sports hall. One of the dirtiest hostels I have ever stayed in my entire life. 3rd year was spent squating from one room to another beginning from town igboro(however it is spelt). I liked reading in Amphi theatre especially at night. Too many distractions but I love reading in a noisy place. I so much liked risky burger and coke while sitting under those trees in frot of oduduwa hall. I loved my fellowship then- R.C.F. Still miss it though as all these churches we have cant't be compared to the raw fire brand fellowships in schools then. I met Jesus on O.A.U Campus in my 1st year and spent so many years praying in sports complex. It really formed me. Academic life was hectic. Reading as if there was no tomorrow. I can't even go back and do my masters there because I will read my eyes out. Great Ife! One last thing, I enjoyed the aluta especially during elections. I campaigned for Diamond in my second year even though I did't know him personnally. He was a fine boy and gave us mirrors. lol |

@Topic Ife is the second indigenous university in Nigeria after UNN and UI which was the first university in Nairaland. They should use this celebration as an avenue to discuss ways to bring back the lost glory of IFE. I remember that there was a time people were scrambling to go to Ife among other prestigious schools but nowadays anybody i meet in Lagos wants to go to Unilag and maybe Ibadan and UNN. |

Greatest gbo gbo, Greatest Ife, of the greatest, greatest, greatest Ife. OAU will always be an unforgetable moment in my life because you tend to gain everything in Ife if you did not allow the university to pass through you. Moz 101, Awo block 4 rm121, Awo Block 3 Rm33, Awo Block 2 Rm 23 and Awo Annex Rm321( Math Room). I really miss OAU and am using this medium to wish OAU Happy 50th Anniversary |
Re: Celebrating Great Ife @ 50 by Demdem(m): 10:02am On Feb 09, 2012 |
After my Angolan sojourn in my first year, the next 4yrs was in Awo hall. Nothing like Awo Hall. No dull moments at all. fajuyi guys really missed a lot. |
Re: Celebrating Great Ife @ 50 by Jarus(m): 10:03am On Feb 09, 2012 |
afam4eva:While I admit the 'strike notoriety' affected Ife, I believe it is still easily one fo the Top 5 most sought after university in Nigeria. With such huge long-stay-in-school disreputation, it takes greatness for teh school to still maintain that spot. The decline in glory is not an isolated case, it is a reflection of the fallen standard of tertiary education in Nigeria as a whole and like any other first generation university, OAU is also affected. Yet I don't believe UI attracts more prospective varsity students than Ife today. Unilag, yes, because it is sited in a cosmopolitan city. UNN, like ABU, tribal factor plays active role. An average easterner dreams of UNN, average northerner ABU but average Southwesterner decides between Ife and UI, and probably Lag. |

The best of the best thing i also took away from Ife is my Lovely wife. She is simply the bomb. OAU Ife Thank u. |

Jarus: Dont mind them. Dem they always do this holier than thou thing. The numerous pastors/fellowship libraries probably has a role here IMO |
