Ofatfoed:

Taylor184:
How many of you carefully counted nine stones along side your tooth, threw it on the roof in anticipation of a new permanent tooth that year??

How many of you took your time to count olomo wewe biscuits (speedy,digestive, coconut) before eating that year??

If all these were done by you, then you can endure the tasks ahead of you in the prestigious University of Ibadan.

I welcome you all(freshmen) to the Premier University, the first and the best.


➡ Medicals:

This includes all the tests you would do. Urine, eye test(garri drinkers), height&weight, etc etc. The earlier you get to the venue, the better. Don't be surprised when you get to the venue at 5:45a.m and you find upto 50names written on the list already. Lol

➡ School fees/Accommodation fees payment:

Ehen, here is one big deal. How many ears do you have? I know its two, so biko, pay attention *smiles
All you need do is log into your portal, print your payment advice and proceed to the bank. DON'T give one brother abi sister you don't know to help you pay o, we've had cases of students who 'gullibly' gave out their money to people they don't know to help them pay. On NO occasions should this happen. Thank you.


➡ Hall Clearance:

All you need do will be communicated to you at your different halls of residence.
Requirements differs from hall to hall sha. Ranging from hall dues to passport to Authority to pay(you remember that abi)


➡ KDL Registration:

Ensure you do it. It's Kenneth Dike Library. Failure to do so, you won't be able to read there and so on.

➡ GES Registration:
Hmmm, this one ehn, it is the long queue that is always annoying. You'll queue up to buy textbook, queue up to sign course form again. O ga oo


➡ Course Registration(hmmm)
It is important you do it. You won't even need to be told. Sha don't be too forward to pick one course because Bola your friend did. And make sure you're ready to queue up for hours sha. Na so so queue queue queue dy U.I

➡ Departmental Registration/Clearance: This should be quite easy, after you must've signed all courses. But don't forget, you still have to queue up

➡ Faculty Registration: This should be quite easy also but you'll queue up again. Lolz

Even for food sef, we still dy queue up.
Welcome to the FIRST AND THE BEST.

Yours truly,
Raheem Hammed

Guys, I got Mellanby, pls I need info about the hall

Mellanby Hall (male, undergraduate). Location: to
the North of the University Court. The first residential
hall in the university, named after Kenneth Mellanby,
the first Principal of the University College, Ibadan
(1947–53). Mellanby has a characteristically cool and
serene ambience. It was formally opened on 17
November 1952, and has a capacity for well over 400
students.The hall is essentially the smallest in the
school, possessing four blocks- A,B,C and D. The A
block is primarily for freshmen while the D block
houses students in their final year. The hall is the
most centrally located, and hence sees a great daily
traffic of people.

One half of life is luck the other is discipline and that's the most important. For without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck- Carl Zuckmeyter

CONGRATULATIONS! Now that you know your halls of residence. However, not all the blocks are for freshers, hence here is a guide on the blocks to select from for different halls.

✅ Queen Elizabeth II hall: any room in blocks G, H and I, will be suitable for you.
✅ Queen Idia Hall: block C is for freshers. However, the number of admitted students last year was much hence block C was used.
✅ Obafemi Awolowo hall: you can pick from either block D, E or F.
✅ Tedder Hall: block A
✅ Nnamdi Azikiwe hall: blocks A, B and C but majority stays in A block.
✅ Independence hall: block A
✅ Kuti hall: block C
✅ Sultan Bello hall: block A
✅ Kenneth Mellanby hall: block A.

Have a stress free registration week

Whaylecs:
The next time you come across a well-dressed young man arguing vehemently and threatening to do battle with a bus conductor in Lagos, don’t walk away like most people do. Wait till the fight is over and ask the young man this question: Are you a Zikite? In eight out of 10 cases, the guy would be a graduate of the University of Ibadan who was "unfortunate" to be offered accommodation in the institution’s most popular hall of residence.
Zikites, as residents of University of Ibadan’s Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall are addressed, are known for their uncompromising stand against injustice. However, they sometimes take their activism too far and that’s why the institution’s central administration has consistently branded the Hall as a "haven of thugs and notorious elements".
I’m a Zikite and forever will be one. Having graduated from UI last year, I must admit that I miss living in Zik Hall. The hall is a replica of the Kalakuta Republic, and Fela would not have hesitated in making it an extension of his liberal kingdom, were he to be alive. Don’t get me wrong, please. The activities of Zikites do not come near what obtained on Gbemisola Street. Though Zik Hall is a place of contrasts, its residents respect the beliefs of one another.
It is a hall where Christians will be praying and someone with a lit cigarette (and sometimes a roll of hemp) between his fingers will walk by and greetings would be exchanged. The Moslems wake up early, do their prayers and head back to their rooms to devour pots of beans with their roommates who are Christians, Buddhists etc. Though the Hall has been labeled a den of rebels, it is a nice place to live in. Nice in the sense that you can’t be oppressed in Zik Hall. The Hall has a unique culture that is strictly observed and valued by true Zikites. Unlike some other Halls of Residence where students lord it over one another, you are a freeborn in Zik Hall. It is a place where 100 level students and finalists see themselves as comrades, rather than trying to subdue one another. When you’re broke as a Zikite, all you need do is to pick up your spoon and enter any of the 253 rooms in the Hall. You will come out smiling with the hunger getting conquered.
Have you heard of the word "Zikism"? Zikism is the philosophy that defines the lifestyle of residents of Zik Hall. Zikites are an unusual lot, I must admit. The Hall’s geographical location on the UI campus does not help matters. It is very close to the university’s Zoological garden, so Zikites enjoy the queer privilege of being woken up daily by the roars of the zoo’s lion. When some baboons escaped from the zoo in 2001, they naturally came to Zik Hall and Zikites were on hand to catch and return them to their enclosure. People have attributed the strange behaviour of Zikites to the proximity of the Hall to the Zoological Garden.
You need to be around when Zikites hold their yearly carnival. Brilliant students would stay away from their books for some hours to show the university community their weird attributes. They dress up as ghosts and zombies (remember Michael Jackson’s Thriller?), masquerades, Ifa and Sango priests, Count Dracula, Okija shine priests (with plastic human skulls tied round their necks) professors, madmen, pastors and Imams, etc. They would move round the campus, dancing to music supplied by a hired band and the Hall’s supporters club. The Zik Hall carnival is always a sight to behold with residents of the university’s other halls of residence being held spellbound by the tantrums of their course mates.
Writing comprehensively on Zik Hall could lead to writing a Ph.D. thesis. However, it should be noted that the hall breeds great men. Call them what you want, but Zikites are intelligent, resourceful, law abiding and God fearing. Right from its inception in the 60s, Zik Hall has continued to produce men that have done the nation proud. The list includes Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, Mutiu Adepoju, Dimeji Lawal, Oba Wole Amele (councilor Balogun of the village Headmaster series), Major General Victor Odeka, Chief Dayo Abatan, the late activist, Dr Kumolu Johnson, amongst others. Anytime you are on the UI campus, try and take a cab to the Hall referred to as the heartbeat of the university – Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall. It is the abode of unpretentious undergraduates.

when. did thuggery, weed -smokiing, harbouring of females in a male hall, rebellion against authority, public nuisance become symbols of great ness , bravery etc...

during hall clearance, if I didn't get d ref letter, am I going to clear
