Life is funny ..always find time to have a good laugh. And try to always do the right thing and be transparent if not ... After you die, your flesh will be laid to rest but people like the guy directly under me will write rubbish about you that you can't defend And at this point, are the gods to blame ? 3 Likes |

University of Ife had Wole Soyinka, Ola Rotimi, Muraina Oyelami, Lamidi Fakeye and Peter Fatomilola in the early 90s. Imagine how much creativity resided in that Faculty back then. Majority of the ones currently in that Faculty want to get Nobel Laureate in sleeping with female students. Especially those in English Department. Only few have sense. 24 Likes |
