All That Excitement Just BEFORE Graduation

1. That moment when you were leaving the exam hall after the last paper.

Finally.

2. The day you finally get to defend your project and submit.

Special thanks to Google and Wikipedia.

3. Then you start to wonder about all the things you want to do with your life.

4. But first,

Turn down for what?

5. The morning when you wake up and you have absolutely nothing to do.

6. Then it dawns on you that you will never have student discounts, ever again.

No more cheap cinema tickets.

7. Trying to form “ready for the future” and write out your plans, but you just keep getting distracted.

What is this please?

8. When you see the lecturer that said you’d never make it to final year.

Nene leakes hi haters

Enemies.

9. Looking at all your classmates and knowing you might never see some of them again.

10. Trying to decide which of their numbers to keep and which to delete from your phone.

11. That one person in your class you were rushing to go and collect their number only to find out they’ve gone home.

Just why?

12. Looking at 100-level students roaming around and wanting to advise them about life.

Lucky young man

Be a good boy and don’t join bad gang.

13. Then out of the blue, you just remember you still have to wait for your results, and pass too.

Hay God.


14. Because if you fail one course…

15. When people ask you about your plans after school, besides NYSC of course.

17. And the next time you attend a family gathering.

Graduate! Graduate of the house! You have entered labour force now.

Things we remember from Muhammed Ali's visit to Nigeria.

Muhammad Ali is undoubtedly the greatest sportsman that ever lived.

His victories in the ring made him a champion.

But it was in fact his victories outside the ring that made him the greatest.

From being the only lineal three-time World Heavyweight Champion in the ring,

To being a force in the civil rights movement.

Whether it was his anti-war stance, or his embodiment of black power, Ali was the knock-every-obstacle-out guy.

In a tour of Africa and the Middle East, Ali made an iconic stop in Lagos, Nigeria in 1964.

He was received by ecstatic Nigerian fans who lined the streets from the airport and was hosted by the governor of Lagos State.

And of course, he met some of our pinging baby girls at the time.

He headed to Ibadan and the attention was no less either.

Muhammad Ali was first hospitalised on June 2nd, 2016 for a respiratory condition. While his condition was described as fair, his condition escalated on the 3rd and he was placed on life support.

Yesterday, he was pronounced dead on June 3, at the age of 74.
