Michael Remains Head Of Ad-hoc Security Committee –TY

The president of the Great Ife Students’ Union, Akande Omotayo a.k.a. TY has confirmed to journalists today during a press conference at the Students’ Union Building (SUB) that Michael remains the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the yet to be ratified Security Committee of the students’ Union.

TY confirmed his reinstatement following his sack by the SU Vice President who was the acting president during the period of two (2) weeks while the SU president was suspended. He said the reason he cannot continue to work with the appointed CSO, Seyi is because he does not know him to the extent of trusting him.

“The Security Committee is a face of the Students’ Union and people bring cases here every time and I cannot use someone I don’t know as CSO.

“I need somebody I can trust. I am not saying Mr Seyi cannot be trusted but I don’t know him up to the level of trusting him as the CSO” TY revealed.

Michael who has now been reinstated back as the ad-hoc Security Committee head was fired immediately TY was suspended by the Vice President; Oprah stated then that her action was necessary because Michael never accorded her office as Vice President, hence, she needed someone she can work with very well.

The Vice President however corroborated the President in the course of the press briefing that the whole issue between the Vice President and Michael has now been resolved and the past has been put behind them.

Fajuyi Hall Turns Gambling Den

By Adetula David

Some students of Obafemi Awolowo University and non-students have turned Adekunle Fajuyi Hall of Residence to a gambling hell.

The table tennis game facility installed at the foyer close to the Porter's lodge has now turned to a business ground where students and non students gamble with their playing prowess. According to investigation carried out, some non-students including some of the barbers that work in Fajuyi Hall who can play the table tennis game have even infiltrated the Hall to earn from the gamble.

Those involved in this gamble sometimes bet with money worth N1,000, N2,000, N3,000 and even more. Infact, some of these gamblers bet with material things including their gadgets.

The act got intensified recently as students and non-students are seen almost every hour of the day at the spot to gamble in a bid to win.

The Chairman of Adekunle Fajuyi Hall, Sunnepa has however denied knowledge of the act. Sunnepa told our correspondent that the Hall's Sport Director is in charge of the table tennis and he is yet to report such to him. He however promised to look into the report in a bid to investigate it.

Life On Campus With MizDee- Privacy 2

This edition is mainly to share with you what people especially Alumni Hall occupants think about ‘privacy in Alumni hall’. While I went around gathering people’s opinions concerning ‘the tying of curtains in Alumni Hall’, a few people questioned me: Is this for your research work?  Well, I am considering it as a research problem but under what discipline will that fall? (Laughs)

Here are some people’s opinion as to the tying of curtains in Alumni Hall.

    ‘I feel it has more disadvantages than advantages. Take for example, a laptop was stolen in a particular room and the roommates were around but they did not know when a non-occupant of the room probably walked in and picked the laptop because curtains were down. The only advantage I can think of is maybe a little PRIVACY. There are more disadvantages though.’

                                                                                                          -Ajibade Fadekemi, Alumni hall chairperson.

    ‘The use of curtains has more advantages. To me, it keeps out too much ray of light.’

                                                                                                           -Cinderella.

     ‘The use of curtains help to appreciate individual differences. It also beautifies the room.’

                                                                                                            -Naomi.

      ‘It’s a free world.’

                                -Anonymous.

      ‘For people like us who are prone to cold, the curtain keeps it out.’

                                                                                   -Rita.

      ‘It makes the room look like a shrine’

                                                                      -Loveth.

      ‘It could be 50% disadvantageous and 50% advantageous but critically it is 70-30.

                                                                                            -Ellizabeth.

      

 ‘It’s good. For example if I’m in my corner and a guy wants to come in and I’m not well dressed, 

I can drop my curtain.’                                                                                     -Tolu

        ‘It’s the coolest thing ever.’ 

                                                                         -Grace

         ‘It makes the corner look homey’

                                                                           -Olamide

          ‘It’s been the trend OAU. If there’s gonna be a change, the management has a lot to do.’

                                                                                  -Anonymous

           ‘It promotes promiscuity.’

                                             -Anonymous

          

  ‘I don’t blame the people who tie curtains. Your corner is private but we should learn to

             accommodate one another.’

                                                                                    -Graceful

   Hmm, many ladies have agreed to and are enjoying Alumni’s PRIVACY. Based on the fact that, not all ladies were around and the rooms where the options were ticked, were randomly selected, we will be using frequency measurement.

                     

	ADVANTAGES	DISADVANTAGES	INDIFFERENT
BLOCK 1	10	1	5
BLOCK 2	10	1	5
BLOCK 3	10	1	5
BLOCK 4	25	1	10

       

Looking at the table above, a greater number of people say it has more advantages. Isaac Watts said, 

“Ten thousands things there are which we believe merely upon the authority or credit of those who have spoken or written them.”

 I feel the occupants of this hall are ‘an authority’ in the decision to support or oppose.

My opinion? Okay...I am enjoying my privacy but I think it limits interactions amidst the roommates. Oh! Before I forget, I use a curtain in my corner(Laughs).  

See you next week.

Do You Know OAU Hosts The 8th Architectural Wonder Of The World?

A recent post obvious on the OAU website (www.oauife.edu.ng) reads "Visit the 8th Architectural wonder of the world". I was so much surprised to know Obafemi Awolowo University hosts this architectural wonder in such rank as claimed by the institution.

Looking at the structure critically, it seems to be an architectural wonder but is it really the 8th in the world?

The management of the Natural History Museum, OAU now charges N500 for individual who wishes to snap within the premises of the museum and N2,000 for group picture.

Student charges are N100 per head while that of Adult are N200 per head.
