So that baba carpenter is still around. I imagined he may have stopped coming and gone the way of the Sise wa o of earlier times.

Igi iwe, eso odo - refering to one that reads a lot but comes out with poor grades.

Ewo bo se dabi Ere Hezekiah -- when trying to insult someone that after all his reading he will still amount to nothing because the statue of Hezekiah is uncovered under the sun compared to that of Oduduwa that's covered under the pavillion.

Animasaun -- refering to a known wayward girl.

Omu to n shon -- a girl with a fallen breast

Elese osi meji - when insulting someone with bad legs.

Owo Jona - refering to having bad grades after spending money on school fees and feeding.

I'm glad the tradition of dobale still continues. P-square, Faze and many other artists had to do it before they were allowed to perform. They all did, no choice!

No lecture free week, no exam... I still remember when the school authorities were adamant about it. Eventually we all went home for some months and came back straight to exams. That semester wasn't funny.

I did not see ALOMA

In 1990, ALOMA a student of OAU contentested for the position of a Student Union President.

He lost the election. He was the only person that voted for himself.

The big question here was where are his classmate votes? Where are his roommates votes? Where are his friends vote? Ok where was his girlfriend vote?

Even ALOMA himself couldn't answer how only himself voted for himself.

Then the name of ALOMA became the most populous name on OAU campus.

If you misbehave on campus then, they will call you ALOMA.

No. 36 was not usually called Maximum Shishi, but Scientific Maximum Shishi (SMS).
I detested that sh!!t like mad.

Looking back many years later, I just imagined how things happen socially in our environment and how everyone just goes with the flow.
You could imagine the same amongst the Jews and Jesus, and among his apostles after he left the earth. We read about it many times in the Dark Days of America, etc. Whether guilty or not, everyone just wants to descend on someone as soon as they observe that others are doing the same.

Very barbaric.
