Pandemonium In LASU As Students Stone VC Over Undue Closure Of Registration Portal

Lagos State University students went on the rampage Thursday, disrupting the university's  second semester examination and destroying properties in the process.

The protest which started Wednesday over the closure of the university's registration portal, led to stoning of the University Vice Chancellor Prof. John Obafunwa, as he tried to evade the riotous students who had blocked the main gate and made bonfires on the Lagos-Badagry expressway.

It was reported that students threw sticks and stones at the Vice Chancellor's convoy as he made to escape through an alternative route beside Conoil Filling station.

Trouble started in the university when the VC decided not to open the registration portal for over 2,000 students who are yet to register their second semester courses as exams was to begin Thursday, even though the banks are still collecting school fees from students, whose hope of registering gets slimmer by the day.

According to the students, only 708 were able to register before the portal was shut again leaving, 1292 students to their fate.

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:
