NCB: Let’s meet you
FYB: I am Favour Oluwabukola Ajayi, from Kogi state. My birthday is on November 16, I am twenty-two years old and I am from Abuja.
NCB: You grew up in Abuja?
FYB: Yeah, I was born and raised in Abuja, had my secondary school in Ibadan, though and relocated back to Abuja afterwards.
NCB: Did that affect you in any way, maybe in making friends ?
FYB: Yeah, it affected me because when we relocated back to Abuja after my secondary school, I lost contact with a lot of my secondary school friends.
NCB: How would you describe growing up?
FYB: It was fun, yeah, a bit intimate with my family.
NCB: Tell us little about your family?
FYB: It’s a monogamous family. My parents have three (3) children which I am the 2nd child and we are all girls, no boy.
NCB: How do you feel not having a male child in the family and how does that affect your relationship with male friends?
FYB: I feel happy! It doesn’t really have an effect on me (I am quite indifferent about that) since my sisters and I are still very close.
NCB: Would you also like to have a mini family?
FYB: Yeah, but I want a boy, just one is enough.
NCB: Tell us about your experience in secondary school
FYB: Secondary school was fun. I had my Junior Secondary School education one- three (JSS 1-3) in a school and my Senior Secondary School education in a different school. We relocated to Ibadan because my sisters and I did not know how to speak Yoruba, we majorly spoke English and Hausa.
NCB: Were your parents not speaking yoruba to you?
FYB: Yeah, my father’s preferred language is hausa because of his job. My father is from Kogi and Kogi has three tribes which are Igala, Igbira and Yoruba but I am from the yoruba side of Kogi.
NCB: Do you understand hausa?
FYB: No, I don’t have a flair for languages.
NCB: Were you into any sport in your secondary school?
FYB: I was the sport prefect girl but I do no sports again.
NCB: Why?
FYB: I don’t have the strength again.
NCB: What sports were you into?
FYB: I used to play basketball, volleyball, football and I was very good at running races before OAU took over. I got busy and my interest shifted from sports to other things.
NCB: Why OAU?
FYB: I did not apply for OAU, I chose University of Illorin at first. I wanted Law but I was offered Political Science instead, so I rejected the offer.
NCB: So, you went for OAU because you thought they were going to give you Law ?
FYB: Yes, but OAU fucked up, it was at the time Ife Law lost accreditation.
NCB: Do you still have passion for Law?
FYB: No! I have no interest whatsoever to go back to Law. It was when I got to 300 level that I realized Law wasn’t for me. Along the line, I discovered that my strength was not in Law. Because I am outspoken and I love giving speech which doesn’t necessarily correlate with Law. At the secondary level, every Arts student is expected to go to Law.
NCB: Do you have a career outside education?
FYB: I am a fashion enthusiast, I crochet and I do a little bit of styling.
NCB: Tell us your experience about UTME and JUPEB?
FYB: I read a lot for my UTME but when I came for my JUPEB Programme, there were a lot of distractions because I was on my own and no parental guidance. There were friends from different backgrounds too. The study I did for my UTME helped me a lot which also helped me to cope in OAU English department.
NCB: Whose idea was OAU?
FYB: My dad did since he pays the school fees.
NCB: What about English Language?
FYB: I was given English, I had no idea that Ife Law had accreditation issue, if we had known, I wouldn’t have been here.
NCB: Was there any disappointment whatsoever in English department, precisely?
FYB: I was disappointed in English department. Judging from my secondary school experience, we usually had just few questions on vocabulary and phonology but what I got from this department has been different entirely. (Lols)
NCB: What do you have to say about the department?
FYB: Considering that many of us were not expecting to be here and our lecturers have too high expectations from us in term of performance but we would just plead that they are patient enough and just let us go through.
NCB: What do you have to say about the noise of sadism in the school generally?
FYB: I never thought so. Infact, I feel they have been so lenient with us. Considering what they are being paid and how uncomfortable it can be.
NCB: What is your most attractive feature in a man?
FYB: His relationship with God; not necessarily being religious but should be Spiritual.
NCB: Do you mind someone that is not from your religion?
FYB: That’s not an option for me!
NCB: English department is a department with too many handsome guys, don’t tell me you don’t have a crush?
FYB: (Lols) All my male friends are my crush. If I do not find you handsome, I will not talk to you.
NCB: What if they are handsome and not intelligent?
FYB: I will just walk pass them. I don’t do handsome and not intelligent.
NCB: What is the most attractive feature about you?
FYB: It’s my body shape and my smartness. I always want to prove to people that I don’t just have a nice body shape but I am also smart because some people thought otherwise.
NCB: In the next five (5) years, where should we be expecting you?
FYB: In the next five years, I would have an established fashion brand and would be a boss Lady and probably not married. (Lols)
NCB: When did NCB appear to you as a News outlet?
FYB: That was late 300 levels and then, I had plan to join but I was told NCB doesn’t take a finalist.
NCB: Ohhh! What interested you in NCB?
FYB: It’s the creativity which always make me read your board. I am a creative person and I love writing.
NCB: A word for class of Titans?
FYB: The class of Titans is a world with a whole lot of different people; the nice ones, the snubs, and being in this class is a whole lot of experience. They are amazing.
NCB: Make your shout-out.
FYB: My shout-out goes to my group of friends popularly known as “THE GRAMMARIANS”, my sisters and my lecturers.
NCB: Anything for NCB?
FYB: Yes, you are really devoted and dedicated people. You know, it is not always easy coming for Production every sunday. Sundays are meant for ‘REST’. You guys are amazing.
NCB: Thank you for your time and have a wonderful time.
FYB: Thank you for having me.
