GREAT IFE: HAPPY 50 YEARS OF BUILDING LEADERS


GREAT IFE: HAPPY 50 YEARS OF BUILDING LEADERS

Chijioke Akusoronwa



I am grateful to the Founder Fathers of one of the most prestigious Universities in Africa, Great Ife.
A University aimed at building think tanks and leaders.
A University with her products made leaders with vision to impact lives in our world.
Scholars with brains, great thoughts, built in that challenging environment.
A University with buildings of class, taste and conducive for readers, scholars and teachers.
A University of scholars home with peace, security and tolerance.
A University that cares.

Do you know why people love Great Ife and fear their products?
It is a University of learning;
It is a University of culture.
It is a University of true choice and round individual personal developer.
It is a university of class.

Although, some of these words may have be said to have been over praised by those who didn't attend Great Ife.
Because, of the failures of the government in strengthening this Citadel of learning.
Insensitivity of some lecturers especially, non-Great Ife retained lecturers.
Laziness on the part of some students who think it’s a University of fun, Fashion and Clubs.

Sincerely, Great Ife is Great.
I am a product of that School and I am an example of its product.
It a Citadel of Road one- caution, Mozambique-dead trap, Hezekiah-success.
I love Ife, because everything in the school has a meaning and a lesson.

If you are a product of Obafemi Awolowo University say something and if you are not please, confirm what you know about her product.
