HILARIOUS: Classification Of UNILAG Girls According To Their Hostels

I found this funny write up somewhere and I decided to bring it on here, though I have removed and added some, based on some funny facts I know about this issue. Make sure you don't laugh too much as you read on.

When people hear the phrase UNILAG GIRLS, some thoughts pop into their minds. Some think UNILAG girls are Aristos, some think they are classy, others think they are materialistic, another think of them as Runz girls, some see them as parole girls, and some see them as gold diggers. 


Well to all these, I can't say you are wrong or right but all I know is that, they really like entering sophisticated cars.. hehehe. Yes! nice cars I said, not that your kind of jalopy..lol.

Also, not all these terms are true though, not all Lag girls are aristo’s, not all of them are parole girls, but there are 3 things they all have in common which is their love for money, their love for jumping in and out of different cars and also their unconditional love for chicken and chips. (They are very happy now that the strike has been called off today.. the strike has been a bad market for them)



There are 7 female hostels in UNILAG, namely:

PHOTOS: What's The Name Of This Popular Place In Unilag?

Howfar Akokaites? I know you are really enjoying the fantastic ongoing match between the Federal Government of Nigeria (Team A) and our very own Academic Staff Union of Universities (Team B). I am pretty sure, whether you are a football fan or not, you have got no option than to sit down, fold your arms and watch this prolonged match which has been full of yellow cards and only one red card since it commenced.

All you can do at some points of watching the match is to stand up, shout, or better scream, reacting to some hard tackles occurred during this match. Just that, a pity it is, that you and I have got no whistle to put an end to this match even if we are not enjoying it.

I just believe the final whistle is about to be blown, as the two teams are seem to be getting tired, from the looks on the faces of the players of both teams. Well, if the match comes to an ends soon; GOODLUCK and if it doesn't, please have PATIENCE.

Anyway, I don't have time for tales this time around, all I need you to do is to show your true studentship of the University with the best social life as far as Universities are concerned in the whole world. *Yes! the WHOLE WORLD I say..  if you like #yimu, I just gave you the expo of your next exam. If you are asked for the name of the University with the best social life, if you like don't write UNILAG, you are on your own. Basic!

So, back to the topic jare, take a very good look at the picture above, and tell us the name of that popular place. You can't tell me you don't know that place.. #winkz, Yes! you know it very well. Its the place you used to go with em em *scratching my head* am sure you know where am talking about, don't pretend. Just tell us the name of that place and what peepz usually go there to do. This is a place where signs has happened, is happening and will continue to happen as long as UNILAG remains, don't pretend, you know am saying the truth,  even in spite of the on going strike, signs and wonders are still happening here..  lool.

 Drop your answer(s) as comment. See more pictures after the cut for better recognition....

Morning Reports From Biobaku Boys Hostel

The morning is fresh, delightful and beautiful at the Biobaku boys hostel and everything is under control like every normal day. Though, only a few residents are around as a result of the on going ASUU strike.

The residents are going about their early morning routine, with little noise of songs, football arguments and other normal discussions coming out from different rooms of the 3-storey student's hostel building.

Lol!! I am sure those who know where am talking about are laughing already, and to those who don't, this might sound a little bit funny.

I don't want to assume you know where am talking about, until you give the right description of where am really talking about, for the benefit of the people who are hearing about it for the very first time and also the fresh students who are just coming to the prestigious University of Lagos, the institution with the best social life amongst other Nigerian Universities.

Be informed that among other interesting places to watch out for in this Institution, is a place called "Channel O"
