NCB: Hello, good evening. Can you please introduce yourself? FYB: I’m Mofeoluwa Grace Ade-Olufadeju. NCB: Nice to meet you ma’am. Could you tell us a little about your background? FYB: Sure. I’m from Osun state but was born and brought up in Lagos. I am the last born and only daughter among three children. I’m an entrepreneur and a writer. NCB: What does it feel like to be brought up in Lagos? FYB: I can’t think of anything really special about it. NCB: Really? How about your experience in Lagos compared to the life you are living now in Osun? FYB: Oh, okay. I shouldn’t really compare the two. I relocated from Lagos around 2017 and of course, I was much younger then so the way I perceived the environment was different. Comparing my life in Lagos then to now, I guess I’d just say the last six years on campus here in Ife have been more fulfilling than all my years in Lagos combined. NCB: Was OAU your first choice? FYB: Yes. NCB: How has been your ...

Professor Sonibare Ademola Jacob of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University gave an insightful inaugural lecture on February 13th, 2024. The lecture, held at Oduduwa Hall, focused on the importance of air pollution control and its implications for health management. The professor, during his lecture, said “I intend to do this by presenting the reality of air pollution around us for as long as raw materials are converted to products we desire daily. It is my intention to use this lecture to present what I know about air pollution as a scientist and to demonstrate the possibility of some air pollution problems as I have done with my engineering training and practice. I think this will convince the upcoming researchers that there is the need for an improved strategy on the management of our air shed.” The professor stressed the need for researchers to adopt an improved strategy for air pollution management. He highlighted his own engineering training and pract...

By Eniola Rahamat Idris As a student on campus, I am very certain that you must have attended at least one event on campus. In every event (by events I mean seminars, conferences, colloquiums etc. ) there is usually a couple of speakers or more. These speakers are often introduced by another person before they actually come upstage to talk. Have you ever wondered why do we have to go through the stress of having someone introduce a speaker? The goal of an introductory speech is to : Get us acquainted with a speaker. Present the speaker’s credentials and its significance to the topic. Arouse the curiosity of the audience. Make the speaker feel welcome. Since the majority of what an introductory speech primarily focuses on is the speaker, that suggests to you that a proper and adequate knowledge of the speaker is imperative. In conducting this research, you can consult a number of sources including any print or online news article, podcasts, interviews, websites associated with the...

Last night was everything from excitement to disappointment at the Amphitheatre. The AFCON final was live streamed at Afrika Amphitheatre yesterday night as Students gathered around to support Nigeria. The event was sponsored by the Student Union’s Director of Socials and Culture, Moses Oyebamiji “Coweb” and Markay, a brand influencer. The stage was set as early as 7 pm and the students were more than one thousand at the venue by the time. Santos and Dblaq emceed the event which, no doubt, was a turn of entertainment. This was amidst music before the match. The Afrika Amphitheatre was already occupied 30 minutes before the match and students had to sit on the floor and podium which showed their passion for the football team. A large number of the spectators were clothed with green-white-green body paintings and some on their faces. Different giveaways were done before and during the match by different clothing brands and food brands. There was a bit of frustration when the match starte...

Have you ever asked them the motive behind this name? FYB: Well, I’ve asked them before, long ago but I’ve forgotten what they told about it .
