10 Habits of OAU students 

Omolayo Olufayo 

(1) Anxiety 

Even before the beginning of a semester, an average O.A.U student is anxious about many things like the courses, the lecturers, juggling a social life, extracurricular activities and academics etc. Assignments also create anxiety in some. The approach of some to a course is evidence of a pre-existing fear of failure that eventually looms over their success.

(2) Senior colleague's information about courses 

Oftentimes, some information is passed on from older colleagues to younger ones about some courses. A large number of the courses are tagged "difficult". These perspectives are usually subjective to the speaker's experiences. 
Only in a few cases, do older colleagues say something positive about a course.


(3) Waiting for bus drivers to open the doors before they alight: 

Unlike other bus drivers in Osun state or Nigeria at large, OAU bus drivers have cultivated the habit of opening the doors to the bus for students. Some have taken advantage of this courtesy, by staying put till they come to open the doors themselves. Well, who's to blame? Most of these bus doors are rickety and rusty...

(4) Stabbing Classes: 


Well, this isn't common to all. Part one is the time most students are loyal to classes, but motivations changes over time. Some attend lectures only during test and exam periods or to submit assignments. In the Long run, the results matter the most.

(5) Overnight reading:

During academic sessions, the nighttime is like a marketplace to many. 
Overnight reading is a major highlight of campus life. While some come to read, there are many others with other motives like watching movies, gisting, walking around, and in some cases, sleeping.

The overall peculiarity of being an OAU student is the experience. 
Watch out for part two

Mrs Elugbaju : My name is Mrs Elugbaju. I am one of the driver of buses in the campus, I'm the only lady. Question : How did you become a bus driver especially in a University like Obafemi Awolowo University? Mrs Elugbaju:  I'm a civil servant. This is just a part time job for me. After office hour like 5:00pm, I do bring my bus and I will be loading from campus to gate and from gate to Campus like around 7:30pm-8:00pm then I will go back.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
