3. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife (OAU) Library



In the first seven years of it’s existence, the library was housed in temporary and cramped quarters, which were ill-equipped for the requirements of a University library. In October 1989, it moved to its permanent building, the four floors of which covered a total area of 42,000 sq. ft., designed to accommodate 250,000 volumes and sit 800 readers.

So far, the Library has over 400,000 catalogue records needing conversion.About 15,000 bibliographic records of newly acquired books inputted into the old database, would be transferred to the new. The bulk of the Library’s catalogue remains in card format.

Let me see how many likes for this

You can also add yours if you think there is a library that should be on this list.So let us keep it rolling like that.

Den fine but den be. Aje butte

On behalf of my friend,wat are ibadan poly admission requirement

LMAyedun:
1.The Sadist - Most students are scared of him. He comes to class, threatens everyone, you rarely see him smile, always serious with a straight face. He never gives an 'A' and when result comes out, his courses are always mass failure. He is usually the most hated lecturer.

2.The comedian - He is more or less a stand-up comedian. Always lively, students look forward to his laugher-filled lectures but once taken for granted, he can be shocking. He is usually stingy with marks/grades.

3.The Student lecturers - Also known as Assistant lecturers. They usually start as errand boys to some top lecturers in the department, they mark exam scripts, invigilate during tests & exams and later graduate to helping the lecturers with some of their lectures. They are usually hyperactive, aggressive and proud which usually results into a clash with the students.

4.The Crazy Lecturer - He rarely smiles, does things in an unusual manner including ways of speaking(with big grammar like Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon), a funny dress sense(with long bling-bling chains like Ayo Oritsejafor). He is always REAL and serious, doesn't care what his students feels or think about him, highly unpredictable and lectures for 3/4hrs until the students complains.

5.The Fatherly Lecturer - He is always matured, homely, approachable, and friendly. He takes his time to extensively teach his students in such a way that once you fail his course, you know that you truly deserve to fail. He is students' favourite.

6.The Lazy Lecturer - He comes to class twice in a semester(One, for course introduction & later, for revision, a week to Exams). He doesn't lecture nor teach, he only comes to read out loud while the students listen. He doesn't care if you understand or not, and 15 or 20mins, he is done for the day's lecture.

7.The 'Runs' lecturer - He comes to class, gives shabby lectures and drop his mobile digits or his errand boy's digits(The coded students knows what to do). #5k for 'C', #8k for 'B' and #10k for 'A' depending on the importance or Unit of the course.

8.The Departmental dog - Woman wrapper. He takes advantage of any vulnerable female student, it doesn't matter how young she is, the sex addict just want to get laid at the slightest opportunity. Hide your babe, sister, daughter from him.

9.The story teller - 90% of his lecture is the story about his days in the University and how serious/dedicated they were those days + how he still consult his 1973 lecture notebook. He talks about how bad the Gov't and the school management is, especially if he is an ardent ASUU member. He usually receive at least 10 phone calls within a lecture.

10a.The Religion fanatic (Daddy G.O) - This type of lecturer comes to class to chip in the Gospel within his lecture, inviting the entire class to his church & mid week programmes. He is always gentle & Godly.

10b.The Religion fanatic (Mallam) - He comes to class and usually separates the female students from the male students before his lecture begins. He looks gentle and you don't need to be told before you know he is a muslim. Take him for granted and you will pay dearly for it.

How did u do the combination

I think am d only 1 dat observe dis

Tranquill:
Like I said I dont know if theyve changed the exams now. In the past they were different. look at it this way. I know someone that wanted to study medicine but also desperately wanted to go to a higher institution. He took university jamb for medicine, poly jamb for electrical engineering, form for school of health technology and then reluctantly also took NDA. Infact he took every form to came out and only got the NDA admission and ended up doing biological science there and today he is a Group Captain in the airforce. In those days the exams were different and u can apply for different unrelated courses if u have the pre requisite o level.

the method has been changed since 2009,in dose days,it was UME/PCE.since then they combined the two exams since it was conducted by the same body,now it is known as UTME

At poster,I don't undersatnd how u do ur combinatn ooo coz medical course can't go with engineering course

A teacher, Mrs. Ayoade Opeogun, who renovated her classroom at Methodist Nursery and Primary school, Abeokuta, Ogun State, speaks with MOTUNRAYO JOEL about what motivated her action

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Ayoade Opeogun and I have five children. I was trained as a nursery and primary
school teacher at Olabisi Onabanjo University; I graduated in 2003. I teach Nursery Two pupils at
Methodist Nursery and Primary School.

When did you join your current school?

I was transferred to the school in 2011. I was previously at St. Johnson Primary School, Kuto,
Abeokuta in Ogun State.

How many pupils do you have in your class?
I have about 36 pupils.

When you were transferred to the school, what were the things you noticed?

When I joined the school, I noticed that it was not conducive to learning. The buildings were
dilapidated; the floor in the classrooms had potholes, even the classroom’s ceiling was off. It
wasn’t a classroom to teach children. I complained to the school management that I couldn’t
teach in such an environment and they said I should do whatever I felt had to do. That was when
I decided to renovate the classroom.

What did you do?

I got a bricklayer to re-plaster the floor, then I fixed the ceiling and roof. I repainted the walls
inside and outside and I decorated them with educational nursery images and symbols. I also
equipped the classroom with teaching and learning aids such as television, DVD and picture
chats. I also brought in a standing fan and window blind.

There was no electricity in the class; so I went to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria and
pleaded with the workers there to install electricity in the class which they did. I did other minor
things in the classroom. At the end of the day, I spent about N400, 000.

Did the school management make a complaint about the state of the school to the government?

They did complain, but I believe the state government is doing its best to renovate all public
schools. But if a teacher is teaching in a classroom that isn’t conducive, the teacher should do
what is necessary, even if it means spending his or her money. If we have to wait till the
government is ready to renovate our classrooms, pupils will be the ones to suffer.

What motivated you to spend so much?

My love for my pupils motivated me. I couldn’t stand seeing them learning in such an
environment. When I started renovating the class, I started little by little; I never thought I would
go that far. I spent 11 months salaries to renovate the classroom. Each month, after collecting
my salary, I would remove a certain amount to renovate the class. Later when I finished, I told
the State Universal Basic Education Board that I wanted to dedicate the class in memory of my
mother and they allowed me. My mother solely funded my education; I lost my father at a tender
age. If not because of her, I won’t be where I am today. The children are enjoying the classroom
now. They are so happy and eager to learn, I noticed that their grades improved greatly after the
renovation. They are so enthusiastic to learn.

How did the school react?

At first when I started, I got discouraged by teachers, they kept giving me reasons why I
shouldn’t renovate the class, but I stood my ground and followed my heart. I made up my mind
to do it. When it became a reality, they now realised the importance of all what I did. The school
authorities were happy about it. I wanted the classroom to be like the ones I see in private
schools. Even the pupils’ parents expressed happiness. People didn’t expect me to do what I did,
I was happy that I made a difference in the lives of the pupils.

How did the government react?

I don’t know. I’m not aware if SUBEB informed the government or not.

What else do you plan to do in your classroom?

I’m planning to buy a two and a half mattress, chairs and tables for the pupils. Now, we have
wooden benches in the classroom. I hope to have bought all these things before resumption.

Didn’t the money you spent drain your purse?

No, maybe because all my children except one are grown up thus I don’t have many
responsibilities.

Did you get help from any individual or corporate organisation?

No I didn’t. I didn’t even approach anyone. I did it all by myself with God by my side.
If you didn’t spend that money on your class, what would you have used it for?

Maybe I could have bought a new car or bought myself something expensive, but nothing beats
education. I’m happy to see my pupils happy. I kept wondering how I would leave a beautiful
home to teach in a dilapidated classroom. It was saddening, and moreover, I was a level 12
officer then, it would be a shame on my part to teach in such a classroom.

Do you regret your action?

No. Rather, I’m happy and full of joy.

What is your advice to the government?

When a governor comes into power, they make so many promises, but don’t keep half of them.
Governors should learn to keep their promises especially in the area of education. Also,
whenever, they give out a contract that has to do with education, they should follow it up, until it
becomes a reality.

What is your advice to teachers?

They should help the indigent, most of them are found in public schools. Teachers should try
and make a difference in their lives. One may think they won’t appreciate it, but it’s not true.

What is your view about teachers’ welfare?

Teachers need to be celebrated. A large percentage of teachers in the country are poorly paid,
and when there is no money, a teacher will not be motivated to teach. Governments across the
country should boost teachers’ welfare. Whether we like it or not, teachers play a major role in
the society; a lot of us won’t be where we are if not because of the teachers that taught us.
How did your husband feel about the expenses you incurred while renovating the classroom?
He was very supportive. He gave me the go-ahead.

Do you sometimes wish you were in a private school?

I do, however, I left the private sector for the public sector because they didn’t have pension at
that time.

If you were not a teacher, what would you have been?

Teaching is my passion, but if I weren’t a teacher, I would have been a nurse. I like taking care of
people.


We are proud of our mum —Opeogun’s children

Were you comfortable with her spending her salary on renovating a classroom?

Adeola: At the initial stage, I wasn’t comfortable with it. I felt unhappy, but after some time, I got
over it. I realised that I couldn’t stop her. She is the type of person that wants her impact to be
felt wherever she is.

Adebisi: I’m proud of what she did, if I had my way, I would do much more for those children.
Most pupils in public schools don’t have the opportunity of learning in a good classroom. She
brought the private school setting into her classroom.

Adefemi: I must say, not everyone can afford to send their children to private schools. All what
my mother did was to give her pupils an opportunity to see what a private school classroom
looks like. I’m proud of what she did; one rarely finds someone who can give out money to help
others.

How do you feel about what your mother did?

Adeola: When she first informed me about her plans, I felt happy and I felt it was necessary. My
mother is someone who likes to help people. She has a soft heart.
