LITERATURE COURSES CONTRIBUTED TO 80 PERCENT OF MY STRESS IN THIS SCHOOL___DEMILADE

NCB: Can we meet you please?

FYB: I’m Adeleke Demilade, a final year student of the department of English. I’m from Ekiti State but I grew up in Lagos, where I completed my primary and secondary education. I’m the fourth child among five children. I was mostly indoors growing up, so I don’t have a lot to say.

NCB: You’re from Ekiti but you grew up in Lagos, why OAU?

FYB: My older siblings graduated from OAU so I had to follow suit.

NCB: And how has OAU been so far, do you regret following?

FYB: Yes, I very much regret it. OAU has been quite challenging and stressful for me.

NCB: What’s has been the most stressful aspect for you?

FYB: The workload and that most times, the effort I invest in my exams doesn’t correlate with my results (A sad story).

NCB: If you could turn back the hand of time, what uni would you pick?

FYB: Honestly, I don’t know. Any university that doesn’t require students to write exams. I’m just joking. Unilag

NCB: Would you still go for English or you’re a wounded lawyer?

FYB: Yes! A wounded lawyer? I only picked Law because I wanted to follow the footsteps of my dad.

NCB: Ọmọ lawyer! What was it like growing up as lawyer’s child?

FYB: I don’t like to hear this. This type of hype made me pick Law as my first choice (lols). Growing up as a lawyer’s child, my dad at any chance he got engaged me in lenghty discussions about law, emphasizing the stereotype that lawyers are talkatives.

Also, most times I felt proud because of the respect accorded to him and his passion about his career.

NCB: Do you think those discussions helped you in any way and how?

FYB: Yes, they did. I developed a passion for justice and those discussions helped me to analyze situations from different perspectives.

NCB: Hm. Let’s come to NASELS, what do you think about your department?

FYB: Hm! Let’s just say I have a positive view of my department.

NCB: what will you rate the department from 1 to 10?

FYB: 7

NCB: Talking about the department, what’s your best and worst course so far?

FYB: Best course – EGL 307 and the worst course – All literature courses.

NCB: All literature courses? What is it about literature that you detest?

FYB: Those courses contributed to 80 percent of my stress in this school. My efforts don’t correspond with my results.

NCB: This is an issue that people complain about. What do you think can be done about it?

FYB: Anything that could be done to solve this issue is dependent on the lecturers. I’ll stop there.

NCB: Deep. What do you think about the current NASEL excos?

FYB: I admire their dedication and commitment to serving the department.

NCB: Great. What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve learnt in uni?

FYB: Life goes on, time doesn’t stop for your breakdowns. Also, I learnt how to cook.

NCB: How to cook, you learnt that in school?

FYB: My cooking skills improved, rather (lols).

NCB: Alright. What’s your most memorable moment or an experience that shaped on personal growth on campus?

FYB: I have one but I don’t want to share.

NCB: So, What’s next after OAU?

FYB: Establishing myself career-wise.

NCB: How then would you describe yourself romantically, lover girl, heaven is the goal, or career lady

FYB: I’m a lover girl and a career lady.

NCB: Are you in a relationship?

FYB: No

NCB: A handsome young man from EGL or 1m?

FYB: 1m please. Love is for people that have money.

NCB: Emotional blackmailing (lols) You mean they are all…?

FYB: I don’t know o (lols).

NCB: Alright

NCB: Hmm. Any advice for Freshmen?

FYB: Stay focused!

NCB: Your shout out?

FYB: Shout out to Que sera sera, you guys are the best!

NCB: Thanks for your time, Demi.

FYB: My pleasure.

"I WOULD HATE TO MAKE PROMISES BECAUSE THEN I WOULD BE CHALLENGED TO PERFORM ABOVE THEM." - FRANCIS OHACHO, PRESIDENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, OAU.

By Mercy Ojegbola  NCB: Can we meet you? Francis: I am Francis Fortunatus Ohacho, popularly known as Sael. A part four student in the Department of English, Obafemi Awolowo University, I am the incumbent president of the department's students body. NCB: What motivated you to run for the position of President? Francis: I would like to use cliché pumped up phrases like I'm led by my passion for service and all.  People often say they knew I was going for presidency from part one due to my proactiveness, but really I didn't have the Presidency in mind till late second semester of part two.  And that's because I have only wanted to support from the sides, being a significant catalyst for development wherever I am. So I've had roles like Vice President and Fin Sec in mind, but not president. I didn't think I had it. My motivation, in summary, would be the realisation of how efficient I can be to an administration. And I don't doubt it, that with the help of the t...

Afeez: Yes. I chose English myself. Actually, when I was in SSS 3, I was indecisive on whether I should pursue a degree in Law or English.
