Hi Layi and it is good to hear that you once attended UNIPORT.

Mmmm, no one can ever forget the great OFIRIMA hall, Deltarizations, The crab, Choba village, Rumuola, Shell Camp and all those nice places in Portharcourt city.

In my days 1988 - 1992, the ARENA and PS Hall were all that we could celebrate in ABUJA but i am sure new structures are all over the place.

What happened to the Medical facilities in ABUJA? Hope the medical school is now up and running there.

More Great UNIPORT graduates/attendees should relive their days on campus here.

Cheers

Hi Otokx and is great hearing that you work in a cybercafe in PH. I hope you are maximizing the free Internet access and not just chatting, ticketing and checking mails. You know you can become an infopreneur or ideapreneur, netpreneur in that cafe. Think about it and take an action.

Guys, did you know that Hilda Dokubo, Ejike Asiegbu, Bob Manuel, Francis Duru, Charles Okafor and many great Nigerian actors and actresses graduated from Uniport?

Let's get more people sign up here.

Cheers

MY NAME IS CHARLES
I was popularly known in school as Charlie champagne
I studied Chemical Engineering
I was admitted into the University in 1996 as a basic student
By 1997 having completed my basic studies started studied in the Department of Chemical engineering.
In my 2nd year I was elected the DIRECTOR of SOCIALS of the NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES ENGINEERING STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (NUESA) ,
At the expiration of my tenure lots of students were pleading that i step up to the highest student ruling body SUG ,considering my effectiveness for far,this offer I declined,because i had to put my academic records in order
In my 4th Year I finally succumbed to pressure as i may say, contested for the office of the Director of Socials,this i won with a landslide victory.
As the Director of socials alot happened!!!
Some i would not want to remeber cos if i do tears run down my eyes.
I could proudly say that the first ever black miss world was my student, i was the DOS,in fact on the 7th Dec, the day she won the beauty peagant we have already planned a show for that day, which she(AGBANI DAREGO)was to be a presenter,a nominee nd luckily a recipient of of an award,the climax of the night came went i was informed that AGBANI has won the miss world contest, i could not hold back the joy in me, i had to break all the protocol of the show jumped up 2 the stage in ARENA and anounced to the entire UNIPORT students ,in my words "AGBANI IS THE QUEEN",the whole of Arena was throw into a carnival ground thsi was how the show ended and people danced,drank till the next morning.
I will not forget in a hurry the demonstration i single handedly spearheaded in the university against the MAN O WAR!
when the started all sorts of humilation,victimization and abuse of the privilege given to them by the university authourity,I chased all of them packing from the university;and guess what we searched there rooms one by one , we found 23 short guns,12 locally made pistol,tear gas,swords and other military weapons!
One begins to ask are these students(undergraduates or cadete member)
After about 2 week there was a meeting among the SUG the University authourity and the MAN O WAR
once again peace returned on campus.
During my administration, i founded and funded the popular STUDENS AGAINST THE SPREAD OF AIDS(SASA)
This organisation grew so big that SFH and UNICEF began to sponsor its activities
Today SASA is existing in over 152 Universities in the world
SASA has also produced NASA (NIGERIANS AGAINST THE SPREAD OF AIDS)
At the National convention of the Alumni in july 2005, i was elected the PUBLIC RELATION OFFICER(WORLDWIDE)
Presently, I am studying In Germany.

You are the bomb! Keep the good work up and running

Na wa 4 me o.

Can you imaging that i have not even collected my original certificate from the school since i left in 1992.

Hope to come over to PH before March 2006 and i will definetly come to the School.

Olu

when coming to collect your certificate please come with some amount of naira. you will be required to do a clearance which will necessitate your going round some offices namely your department, faculty office, library, health center and finally alumni office. At all this points you will part with nothing less than 5h (even at the banks). If your lucky it may take 3 days if your not perhaps 7 days.

@larger_20

what happens as a result of man o war is a reflection of the society we are in. during the festive periods i was awaken by sporadic and heavy gunfire coming from the choba campus of the university where the banks are situated. I live in the staff quarters across the road in the abuja campus. for over 2 hours between 2am and 4am there was a continuous exchange of heavy automatic gun fire. All through this time there was no electricity so the night was calm and staccato sound very clear and seemed to be just happening outside the house.

it was the following day that we learnt that armed robbers tried to gain access to the UBA bank and that the 2 or 3 mopol on duty ran for their dear lives at the sound of the guns. it was the man o war that u say u disarmed that finally gave this armed robbers a little problem with their load - shoot - and reload gun. By the way the robbers shot their way in through the only entrance and went out the same way. Luckily they got tired with the tactics of the man o war boys who being familiar with the terrain made a sport of them.

two years ago, uniport was invaded by cultists from the state university in search of some man o war boys who had harrassed their member in the hostel making the boy to roll in the gutter. For three days unending these armed cultists came every evening shooting, robbing and maiming. The current VC who was lecturing us that fateful day was made to lie face down in the class and we were all robbed of all our valuables, money and mobile phones. The man o war boys had to temporarily relocate to off camp because it was very terrible no fewer than 6 people died and not by stray bullets as this cultists had their hit list.

what am i saying? what goes on in our universities, political strata etc is a reflection of what happens in the society. Right now UBA has employed over 10 MOPOL to protect their banks but we know that when those armed bandits come back even a 100 MOPOL cannot stop them. 2 days ago, armed bandits went to a multinational oil french company and robbed the cash office in a 30 minute operation in the afternoon between 2pm and 3pm. The 9 dead include 7 innocent policemen, 1 contract staff and 1 accountant. what happens to the families of this ordinary people?

Conclusion
Man O War has its good and bad sides. They exist because of some high ranking people.

Hi Otokx,

Thanks for the information. I will be well prepared when coming to PH

Man O War was never an issue in my days at UNIPORT. Who gave them such enormous power on campus?

Olu

ur welcome Olu,

rain fell very heavily in UNIPORT yesterday. I wonder where is the harmattan?

You should come over to Abuja.

Night and morning are always cold while the afternoon is always hot. No rain at all.

Sorry, one funny rain fell a few days ago in my little town, Kubwa, Abuja for just 2minutes.

Olu

My Name is Andrew Okon
I graduated in 1997 from Petroleum Engineering. Wow, look like forever but it just nine years ago and lots has happen since. Been working with Exxonmobil Nigeria from Youth Service to date.
I do have fun memory of my Uniport days and I'm really very proud of what is happening in Petroleum Engineering department. If I ever have the time, will love to return there for my master and in the process get to pick up my certificate.

Is there a Uniport Alumni section in Lagos and can somebody help me with the contact details?

the liasion office at Lagos wont help you much. You have to come to UNIPORT and pick up your certificate. Bring between 5k - 10k when coming.
