What's The Origin Of Rag Day In Nigerian Tertiary Institutions? by PrinceIkye(op): 10:24pm On Dec 04, 2014
Rag day is a day in some tertiary institutions that students dress like mad people and beg[hostle] for money.

The question is how did this start in Nigeria and what are its advantages?

Frontpage material as I've always wondered the same.
My sisters attended a secondary school associated with a tertiary institution and I remember them discussing the issue as it was (at then) promoted for humanitarian causes; although its original purpose, it has spiralled down nowadays to how much students can rack up to fill their purses.
