Policewoman: It's like this MOD is an IFE graduate. See as him just move this to front page.

Great Ife has a special place. It's not just an ordinary university.

After all, we trained Seun and Seun gave you Nairaland.

saxywale: Okija missed out the staff quarters(a small country inside a uni)... or maybe someone gave him a clue that he would get lost due to the tricky nature of the staff quarters road network.

Interestingly, in my five years in that school, only visited staff quarters once or twice.

Na Laugh: A.B.U without a doubt.

I have been to ABU. OAU is more beautiful.

Pls, before you make conclusions and deductions based on a shallow observation and a weak exposure, always make sure you've travelled far and wide to all states. You can not live in Lagos and assume, UI or OAU or UNILAG is the BEST..
It sounds s¡lly pls..[/quote]Whose fact is shallower? someone that posted more than 20 pictures and someone that posted single picture of a hostel?

In any case, rooms are personal. I have entered Moremi rooms that are more beautiful that the pic of Atiku's ABTI you posted there.

Vanneni: It's not the most beautiful in Nigeria.

Tell us which is.

coogar: top class architectural design especially the basements - then you have the spider building next to conference centre - that building is glorious....

the quarters is as big as lekki - i wonder why okija's iPad didn't capture the VC's lodge that looked like saddam hussein's fortress.

3ace: During 100 level days before I understood the structural connection of those three buildings, I will go downstairs from Admin, then move to social sciences and climb up again. The day I discovered through a friend that I could move from Admin to social sciences without taking my usual, stressful and idiotic route, we were both laughing that we drew attention.

same here in my part 1

Samshady: could.nt help but laugh. Ask about ABU, this cant cant compare!

I have been to ABU. Ife is more beautiful. Even my sister that finished from ABU confirmed.

Now we know you have a car.

Point taken.[/quote]We know he has. Thanks.

PHIPEX: Good for Eto but what is the logic in selling Drogba to buy Eto?

Actual;ly doesnt make sense. Both old, both of almost experience, and bring almost same to team.

Chibuebem: I'm not talking about these pictures, i'm talking about your other pictures in different threads

My pictures? Where did I post pictures?

Chibuebem: sorry to interrupt, where do you get all your pictures? the web? how come you have pictures of almost everything?

I wasn't the one that posted the pictures. But the poster wrote that he was on the campus and took the pictures with his ipad.

Afam4eva: I thought when they say a school is a federal school, it means it belongs to the federal government. if this school was built by a regional government then i'll say it's impressive.

Built by regional govt, taken over by FG in 1976 or so.

No regional govt again, some of the regional govts assets, those not taken over by FG, are now co-owned by states that now made up the old region e.g Oyo, Osun, Ondo etc (former Western region) own Oodua investments now. New Nigerian newspaper etc owned by all northenr states (that made up old northern region).

ladeski: I once saw a car do a 360 degree spin ala James Bond, because he was racing with some other car and lost control. He narrowly avoided the street light pole. sparks flew from inside the engine.

A colleague' friend (a lady for that matter) died doing car race on that road.

He lost his wife last year.

Afam4eva: Neatness and Beauty don't mean the same thing. Btw, i've been to UI and it doesn't look as good as OAU.

Btw, which government built OAU?

Awolowo/Akintola govt of western region (1962).

Afam4eva: He may be right. The truth is that i've never seen a campus that's more beautiful than what i've seen on this thread. Though i'm not sure about Africa oo. But it can be the most beautiful in Nigeria.

Africa, used to be, but doubt it is now. But Nigeria, none comes close (in terms of aesthetics).

[quote author=acidosis™]you need to travel out of south west bro[/quote]can you tell us where 'outside the southwest' you will find a more beautiful public school?

Some of us have been to ABU, its nearest rival and it's no match.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Sights of OAU[/quote]I used to go eat amala and gbegiri aroudn thsi corner.

It is undisputably Nigeria's Most beautiful campus. I'm proudly GREAT IFE.

Wow...my favourite footballer from Africa. Welcome to EPL. Twilight of his career as he is in, the Eto'o I am a fan of will still notch 15 EPL goals this season? Wanna ...?

Salaam alaikum WR WB

TRUE/

I agree with OP.

I also live on this route and drive it many times a week (although I don't drive to work everyday).

I have had causes to complain several times about how that road is poorly lit.

People also take the pedestrian bridges for granted.

A policeman was knocked to death by a vehicle around Lekki roundabout couple of months back, just under the pedestrian bridge. Instead of using the pedestrian bridge, he decided to cross the road. Ironically, the policeman was probably stationed there to ensure pedestrians use the bridge!

Snacks/fruits, yes; food, no.

Only very few people are popular forum-wide. Some people are super-popular in Politics, for example, and when you mention their names in, say, Romance, you hear people asking wh they are.

Apart from Seun and Mukina, who are obviously the most popular, only very few people are popular beyond few sections.

this was rumoured couple of days back. thought it was just one of those gossips.

But in the 'gossip news', CBN's SLS is also reported to be in line for sack alongside Odimegwu....what happened along the line?

I don't have any problem with anybody openly declaring for a candidate. We all have political preferences and being a moderator to me should not prevent one from openly expressing his political preferences. After all, Seun himself openly declared preference for GEJ in 2011 elections. Alll these things are in order, to me.

However, I have read here that I used my mod position to promote Buhari in the last elections. This is wrong. All what I did for Buhari on this section I could have done them without being a mod. I didn't need to be a mod to start a campaign thread, I didn't need to be a mod to coordinate it (I have coordinated many threads without being a mod). I never banned anybody on the basis of the thread(Mods didn't even have banning power then), I never stickied the thread, the thread passed through the hp but I didn't have power to send a thread to hp and I can't remember recommending it to the Supermod who had such power. These are things that if I did, I can accept 'promoting' Buhari. All what I did, I could have done same without being mod; I never used mod power to do any favour to the campaign. And I allowed PDP/GEJ to also freely promote their candidates. But trust Nigerians, they will always cry foul. The perceived dominance of Buhari/Bakare team on NL then was simply because they were more vocal and more in number - the Bakare church people, the widespread PDP hatred, the tendency for opposition to be more vocal etc. If you conduct a poll on NL today, I'm sure opposition will still thump PDP/GEJ, is Jarus still the mod?

Even at that Beaf, Jakumo and others openly operated against Buhari with caricatures and many damaging threads, I never stopped thEm from doing so.

I don't have any problem with Afam openly declaring for PDP/GEJ inasmuch as he is able to rise above his personal sentiments.
This is the science of all these politics.

In moments of frustration, many people can utter such statement. I saw the pain in the lady's face. It's not easy. I will not blame her.
