OAU Stories
In various Tertiary Institutions across the country, you’ll usually hear students tell tales of the different experiences they’ve had on their different Campuses at one point or the other. Funny enough, these sweet experiences / challenges as you may please to call them, are inevitable. In fact, the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile – Ifé seems to be the epicentre of such experiences and tales.
Being students at Ogba Fémi as the Varsity is otherwise called, comes with loads of funny and real time experiences. These experiences are thrillers on their own as students make efforts to combat the ones that seem unpleasant to them.
Some of these experiences are what you’ll enjoy and wish to reexperience, some make you go crazy, at times you get tired and just go to sleep. But you’re just deceiving yourself, ’cause you’re just definitely waking up to the reality of it, and have to face them. In O.A.U., these experiences put together are what make you a typical and bonafide student of the school.
Take a look at some of them below
