THESE PEOPLE... THEM ALL.

I’m privileged to be called a graduate, from one of the most renowned universities in Nigeria. As a student, I was quite on a low-key, you know, most of the time, was always on my own. I was basically an observer, having few casual acquaintances. While a student, I observed certain group of people (students) and their behavioral pattern. These people include:

    ACTIVISTS. This kind of students are always interested in politics and would always contest for one position or the other. They are PASSIONATE about the affairs of the school.

·         TALKATIVE. This group of students talk a lot. Their gist has no end. These people can talk for Africa. There’s never a quiet moment with them. They are always explaining one thing or arguing about another. They always have something to talk about.

·         MOBILE KIOSK. Students under this category sell different wares and have everything students need. They sell recharge cards, snacks, clothes, and all what not on the go. They just love selling.

·         FELLOWSHIP BROTHERS. They are passionate about religion. They NEVER miss any fellowship. If you look for them at the chapel and they are not there, then there’s a problem. They get to church earlier before the pastor.

·         DUBBERS. Their necks have been adapted for cheating. They expect the other students to teach them DURING exams and even spell the answers to them. They would rather spend their time forming bond than reading their books. If you refuse to talk to them or “corporate” with them in the exam hall, you are wicked and want their downfall. If you help them during exams, then you’re their best friend for life, or rather during exams. These kind of students always stick to the smart ones some days or a week before exams.

·         BORROWERS. They are the “borrow borrow make me rich” kind of students. They are also referred to as “borrow-pose”. This set of students borrow everything including underwear. They always admire everything owned by other people. They are NEVER contented with what they have, that’s if they ever have any property of their own.

·         PARTY GOERS. They would be at a party even when they are not invited. They are the “owambe” masters. If they are not present in any party or social event, then that’s not where it’s happening. Even when they do not go to school regularly, they NEVER forget to turn-up. In fact, turn-up is their surname. You can’t miss them at a party.

·         FASHIONISTAS. They may not be leading in their class but you can never beat them when it comes to fashion. They know the trending wears, even jewelries, and will always rock it. They are the grand masters of fashion.

·         BOOKWORMS. They would read even when there is no test and the exam is not in view. Any time you see them, their heads are bent in a book. Only a very few in this category do not wear very thick medicated glasses.

·         LIBRARY GOERS. This group of students LOVE going to the library; if they are not in the class or hostel, you can be sure you will find the, in the library, and most of the time, they are not reading any book. You just wonder what on earth they are looking for in the library.

·         CREDITORS. Their names are in the credit list of all the businesses on campus, from food vendors to business centers, and they never hesitate to ask for items on credit. They are quick to ask and slow to payback.

 

These people can never be found missing in a tertiary institution, no matter how small the institution is. So, which group did/do you belong to? I’d appreciate your comments. Just hit the comment box below.
