So the ongoing final year brethren week popularly called FYB
week came with a full package. The final year week is a time for jubilation as the
graduating students are leaving the university. For most departments, it usually features a costume day
and we saw some unique costumes that blew our minds.
This year, it would seem the FYBs carefully chose
their costume as we saw; "The Marlians", "The dead bride"
, "Parte after Parte" "Tenitheentertainer", " La Casa de Papel" and so much more. Most of which were gotten from movie
series and some other from popular celebrity outfits. Some students were very
creative in the selections of their costumes while of course, some outfits were below the
expectations of the students.
The final year week which holds on the last week of lectures
annually is for the purpose of creating a memorable experience for the
graduating students.
According to an OAU student, "Some FYBs were not able
to accurately get the cooperate look but most them worked really hard in
gaining the attention of not only their mates but the other students of Obafemi
Awolowo University at large. It was really nice".
The costume day is usually the highlight of the FYB week as
all students look forward to it and are expectant of which costume rules the
day.
The Jersey day is also a memorable event
as that is when the graduating students dance around the halls of residence of
the Obafemi Awolowo University as they are being drenched with water. This is a
way of showing our joy and partaking of their jubilation. The sign out day: the
final year students all wear a white top or shirt on either a trouser or skirt
and their fellow graduating students sign out on their white tops even until
there is no more space available for any writing. The purpose of this is to
reminiscence on their past time in school after they must have left the school
for their different paths in life.
Interesting!. Nice writeup.
