IF OAU WERE A PERSON, WHAT WOULD SHE BE LIKE?




Methinks she would be a self-aware queen, explicitly aware of her flaws yet the only person allowed to mock herself.


Methinks if she were a homosexual, she would most definitely be Bi.

Bi herself.

Because that's what majority of her students are, by themselves, in the lonely world of an educational penitentiary disguised as a citadel of learning.


Methinks she would be the most fashionable and beautiful person to ever exist,

A plus-sized queen, dripping in all shades of culture and struggle, reluctant to be shaky and harsh, like her academic calendar.


Methinks she definitely knows girls are not physically capable of passing out any human waste, cause that is just preposterous. 

So she does what any sane, pretty girl would do– Fail to build a decent toilet on campus.

Pretty cool, huh?


Methinks she is lowkey an insecure masochist.

She believes the struggle that comes with learning validates her efforts and lives righteously by the quote, “no pain, no gain.”


Now, enough of what I think.

Let's hear what you think.

"IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME, I WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE IN OAU" - 2025 BEST GRADUATING STUDENT, ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, OAU

 NCB: Good evening. Nice to have you here. How do you do? Afeez:Good evening. I'm good. You? NCB: I am very well. Thank God Can you introduce yourself? Tell us about your background. Afeez: My name is Olagbaju Afeez Olatomide. I'm from a muslim family of 6. I have three siblings and we are all boys. NCB: How about your educational background? Afeez: I spent all my educational life up to this moment in Ife. I attended Pearl Preparatory School while in nursery class. I proceeded to Faith Standard Schools for my primary and secondary education. I finished secondary school in 2019, applied for English language here in OAU the same year and I got admitted a few months after. NCB: So you mean to type that English was your first choice. 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. Later, I got to find out Law wasn't accredited as a programme in OAU that year and since a passionate love fo...

"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...

"WE'RE TAKING PROACTIVE STEPS TO RESTORE OUR LECTURE SPACES TO STANDADRD." - BEWAJI AMOS, PRESIDENT OF FACULTY OF ARTS, OAU.

 By Mercy Ojegbola  Amos Olatunde Bewaji (Kizer), a 400-level Philosophy student and President of the Faculty of Arts, Obafemi Awolowo University, in an interview with NCB’s Mercy Ojegbola, shares the top priorities, vision, and goals of his team for the tenure. NCB: Your team tag, "Lumora," is quite intriguing. What does it mean, and how does it capture the goals and vision of the administration ?? Amos: The name Lumora is actually coined from the idea of light, and it symbolizes a futuristic and purposeful era, one that aligns perfectly with the vision of the Aurora Agenda. The concept of light represents clarity, direction, and renewal, which are the guiding principles of this administration. We see ourselves as bearers of light, bringing illumination to grey areas within the faculty and driving a sense of progress and unity among students. So, Team Lumora is not just a name. It is a reflection of our commitment to lead with vision, purpose, and positive transformation. NC...
