Top 9 Make Out Spots in UNILAG

Almost every night I take long walks virtually round the whole school just to
calm my nerves and get a little exercise
since I’m too lazy to actually do sports.
Also I love taking walks to do a little
amebo and see what people are up to.
During my many nights taking long
walks I’ve seen many things, I’ve seen
guys spending their life savings on girls buying them shawarma, chicken and
chips and later on eating garri in the hostel, I’ve also seen men come from
outside school to oppress us male students with their big cars to pick up
OUR girls (that really gets on my nerves). I’ve also seen some male students bring
their fathers cars to school blasting their car speakers on the highest volume
hoping it would attract girls (and sadly it does), and most interesting of all, I see
couples making out in various semi dark private spots and I find that interesting
so I tend to walk slowly when I see couples kissing so I can just stare at
them and embarrass them with my
wondering glare. Out of all the
numerous spots I’ve seen only eight of
them are ‘on point’.

1. FSS ROAD: The whole FSS road
sidewalks are beehives at night, most
especially the entrance to the FSS
complex vicinity where there are steps
and comfortable corners you could ‘DO
YOUR BUSINESS’ with trees covering you
and shading you from everyone else. It’s
like a bird eye view where you can see
the people passing by clearly but all they
see are shadows. That place is always
filled up at night basically because it is
very dark and even if there’s light in
school, that spot is still dark all the same.

2. Honors hall/ ISL Car Park: It’s like a
two-in-one spot, first there’s the ISL
fence where there are some spaces
inside the fence shaped like chairs for
people to sit comfortably. The downside
is that there are only five spaces inside
the fence so it is limited and its first
come first serve. Then beside the fence
along the sidewalk are some structures
with chairs and benches and shades.
That spot is strictly reserved for girls in
Honours Hall and their various
boyfriends.

3. Lagoon front: This is meant to be the
number one spot but the downside is
that guards are always there on patrol
and once in a while they tend to disturb
the lovers making out. There was this
one time I was with my babe and we
were on the swing doing Indian
romance and kissing and one guard
came and told us to leave and said if we
wanted him to leave us we should tip
him. Lagoon front is nice because the
space there is so massive if everyone in
school decided to make out there it
would contain the (ok you know).

4. Biz Admin (all the corners): All the
corners in Biz Admin are private enough
but the places people use the most is the
pavement where you can comfortably sit
and make out. There’s also this
basement where photocopy is done but
it is not always open. By the way, it’s
best to go there in the evening for
privacy sakes.

5. Love Garden: It is located between
Faculty of Arts and Senate building with
trees and high concrete slabs where you
can sit and just chill. Mostly Arts and Law
students chill out and make out in that
spot. It’s very public and open at day but
at night it’s as quiet as a grave yard with
couples there.

6. Chemical Engineering Stair Case: This
spot is probably the most ‘coded’ spot in
the whole school because only a few
people can see the potential there so
even though they see it every time
nobody knows it exists except a few
people. Even I stumbled upon the spot
and the funny part is that it is not all that
hidden but for some odd reason I can’t
explain why nobody ever looks there.

7. Architecture Quadrangle: This place is
situated inside the architecture
compound close to the lagoon front.
Firstly it is far from civilization so you
can be sure no guard is going to disturb
you when you are kissing your babe and
also there’s privacy because inside the
quadrangle there are many corners,
your only problem is the mosquito’s
there.

8. Moremi Garden (When there is no
light): This spot is every guys worst
nightmare because all the Sharwama,
Chicken and chips, ice-cream sellers and
all other variety of EXPENSIVE edibles are
found there and if you take your babe
there and she sees all other babes there,
she’ll insist you get her something and if
you don’t have anything more than
#500 on you,you’re toast! . The upside is
when there’s a blackout in the school
mehn that spot is crazy. The concrete
benches are very comfortable and you
can do virtually anything without people
staring at you, I’m not saying you can’t
make out there when there’s no light
but for those of you who love privacy,
that place is like heaven when there’s no
light (ironical isn’t it?)

9. Education Love Garden: The only
problem with that plae is that its too far
from civilization. That place is awesome
and private. Its so dim you can do
anything *winks* in there, there’s seats
and trees specially designed for an
atmosphere like that and guards don’t
parade the place much. Edu love garden
would favor those whose hostels are by
the gate and also people in Honours.

UNILAG students protest high food prices, shut shops:: Pix.

For the third day, students of the University of Lagos continued their protest on Tuesday over the high price of food items in the school, saying they must have their ways.

In the frenzy, the students had shut shops in some of the school halls of residence and others within the school, insisting on a drastic slash in prices of food items.

The protest had started on  Sunday after one of the student leaders in Mariere Hall, named Seun Lari-Williams, refused to pay N110 for one pack of noodle, and N10 for a sachet of water.

It was learnt that the food seller had refused to reduce the price which made Lari-williams to mobilise students in the hall to embark on a protest against unfair price of goods in the school.

A final student of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Timothy Quadri, said, “The protest started on Sunday at Mariere Hall. It was the President of the Law Students Society, Seun Lari-Williams, who wanted to buy noodle (hungry man size), and he was told it was N110. But he disagreed with the lady at the counter, saying the price was N100 outside the campus. Later, he decided to get the N10 balance from his room.

“But by the time he returned, the lady had decided that she would not sell for him again, which started a quarrel.

“Angry Lari-Williams quickly summoned fellow students in the hall who came down to shut the shop and started a protest against unfair price of goods on the campus.”

Another student from the Department of Mass Communication, Adeola Scott, said the protest had been peaceful.

She said, “It has been peaceful. On Sunday, the students moved round Mariere and Jaja, and on Monday, they moved shut all the shops in Science, Engineering and New Hall. They were joined by the deputy dean of students’ affairs who monitored the students to ensure it was peaceful.”

The Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. Olukayode Almond, was said to have ordered that all stalls and supermarkets be shut pending the time the crisis would be resolved.

Meetings were also held with the deputy Dean of Student Affairs and Head of Counselling Unit to end the protest and pacify the warring students.

However, a communiqué at the end of the meeting, obtained by our correspondent showed that students’ leaders, school management, and representatives of sellers of goods and services on the campus had agreed on prices for goods and services in UNILAG.

For instance, a small bottle of soft drink is to cost N50, while washing soap prices ranged from N50 to N120. Toothpastes are to be sold for between N100 and N200. Stationery will now go for minimum of N70 and maximum of N100. The particular noodles that caused the problem will be sold for N90.

The school said one spoon of rice would be sold for N400, while three spoons must not be more than N100.

Saka, Porting and Logic of History

An interesting debate has been raging on in the communication and advertising sub-sectors in the last couple of weeks. It was stirred by the sudden and dramatic switch of camps by artiste Hafeez Oyetoro, alias Saka, from Etisalat to MTN.  This   controversy is similar to the occasional hullabaloo that always accompanied  the defecting of a notable Nigerian  political figure from one   political party to another.  ‘Saka’ is a popular character that was specially created to marketEtisalat by its ad agency, and was highly successful in that regard. But quite suddenly, on the heels of the Nigerian Communications Commission’s   Mobile Number Portability campaign recently, MTN cleverly got  him to “port go” and thus he  deserted  Etisalat in a manner that seems to have left a sour taste in the mouths of not just some people in the advertising world but also many observers.

Yet, the question remains whether any real breach of professional ethics had been committed by either the artiste or   MTN as a company, given the fact that ‘Saka’ is believed to have had no written or verifiable contractual accord with Etisalat.   The lessons that could be drawn from this   include: (a) the need for written contractual understanding or agreement to seal important business relationships between an artiste and his employer.

(b) The need to remunerate artistes adequately so that they would think twice in the face of tempting offers by competitors.

(c) The need to adopt impact measurement as a vital component of any major or successful campaign and

(d) The need to avoid the temptation to underrate any artiste  because in a dynamic world like advertising, the least expected model may prove the ultimate ambassador of a brand.

 But, above everything else, the dramatic “porting” of Saka and its   impact so far on the latter’s portability campaign and the obvious shock and tremor it has left in the other camp count as a big plus for artistes generally who may henceforth no longer be taken for granted by those who hire  them.

Nevertheless, having made great waves in so short a period, not a few observers believe that Saka’s time was really up, because any further campaign on the side of the same brand would certainly be affected by the Law of Diminishing Returns.

All in all, one should salute the regulatory wisdom of the NCC for wittingly or otherwise affording Nigerians an opportunity to let off steam and rewind via a veritable dialogue or discourse as an unexpected result of the introduction of the long-awaited Mobile Number Portability campaign.

In fact, the controversy promises an unintended consequence of boosting the portability campaign at little or no cost to the regulatory body. What’s more, it is all happening at a time when the players in the political arena certainly may be tinkering with what they know best: swapping of political platforms—a situation which in political parlance they variously term “carpet-crossing” and “decamping”

There is no doubt that “carpet-crossing” and “decamping” have  offensive or negative connotations compared with “porting” which has now crept into our political/business lexicon, thanks to the NCC.

The point one is trying to make here is that if for any reason any of our politicians switches camp , we should be sympathetic and charitable enough to see the situation as an act of “porting” and no longer “carpet-crossing” or “decamping,” in order to make the action appear less offensive or dirty by de-emphasising the ugly or negative content. I have digressed.

 But returning directly to Saka’s controversial porting, one would like to posit that there is nothing strange because examples of players in various fields at various times porting forth and back on grounds of better opportunities or quest for self-fulfilment abound in history.

Take two cases.  Sir George Taubman Goldie was a professional soldier in the British Royal Artillery where he rose to be a captain. In that capacity, Goldie had toured Sudan and the lower Nile River area. With his eyes on business, even as a military officer, Goldie developed a good interest in the sprawling country to the west of Sudan, and subsequently played Saka by dumping his military commission and switching to the English Niger Company—an association of English and Scottish merchants spoiling for real colonial exploits in the Niger Delta territory.

The result of this earliest form of porting by Goldie was the emergence of the Royal Niger Company a few years later with the full complement of royal chatter granting the company exclusive trading rights up to and beyond the lower Niger basin.

With that charter, Goldie proceeded to set up a military outfit with whose help he stamped out pockets of resistance to the anti-slavery efforts of the British government and enforced peace apace with flourishing trade in the territory. Thus, before the 1885 Berlin Conference on the partition of Africa, Goldie had on behalf of the British government secured treaties with many communities in his area of operation which eventually helped Britain to effectively lay claim to the whole territory that finally emerged as Nigeria.

 Almost simultaneously, as Goldie was working to secure the Niger area for Britain, Major Fredrick Lugard, another Royal Artillery officer, was also playing Saka, “porting” and joining the league of British merchants and colonialists —an adventure that saw him work at various times in various places including India, Hong Kong and Uganda. Lugard finally “ported” back to the Royal Niger Company in the last days of the Royal Charter after which he “ported” yet again to Her Majesty’s service whereupon it became his place in history to amalgamate Nigeria. So, the whole idea of the creation of a great and prosperous entity like Nigeria under the British Empire is chiefly a glowing tribute to the foresight and good business sense of the British Niger Company which, like in the MTN/Etisalat/Saka scenario, had encouraged both captains.

 Goldie and Lugard opted  to “port go” from a boring and less lucrative career in the military in favour of more profitable exploits in the more rewarding sphere of business and colonial pursuits.

 Therefore, what the heights achieved by people such as Goldie, Lugard and others tend to show today is that there is nothing strange or new in the role  Saka played recently on the marketing or business scene.

In a volatile world like ours, nothing should be expected to be static or sacrosanct and the advertising or marketing scene is, to me, part and parcel of that world—a universe whose beauty, fascination and essence partly depend on the extent to which individual players, playmakers and playmasters can determine the direction of their worlds.

LAGOS — Activities of campus vendors at the University of Lagos, UNILAG,

Days back, came to a halt due to

students’ unrest over what they

described as ‘exorbitant rates by the

vendors.’

The peaceful protest was said to have

commenced on Sunday evening.

According to an official of UNILAG

vendors association, “some students

came yesterday and asked us to lock our

shops complaining that our prices are

too exorbitant. But they should have

resorted to dialogue first before asking

us to lock up.”

The Assistant General Secretary of the

law society, Mr. Dare Adeojo said: “This is

a very welcome development, and we

are well within our rights.

“We have declared a 24-hour boycott

and lock down of the shops within the

campus. How can we buy noodles for

N80 when it’s being sold at N60 outside?

And why should pure water be N10?”

Another vendor said: “When we came

here in 1996, it cost about N16,000 per

annum to rent a shop. About five years

ago, the rates moved up.

“Now it costs between N80,000 and

N100,000 to rent a shop. The electricity

bills are also very high.”

Deputy Dean of the university, Dr. A. K.

Adebayo, said: “The school management

is meeting with some of the student

leaders as we speak, and very soon, the

matter will be resolved.”

“We just instructed that the shops

should be closed down to avoid any

unwanted incidents in the best interests

of everyone involved.”
