I’m an Akokaite and a proud one too! *flips dirt off my shoulders* Yes my UNILAG is not perfect,yet, I love her in all her imperfect glory.UNILAG students are particularly treated with a peculiar deference due to people’s respect and perception of us(even our arch haters will agree with this…you know yourselves!
Wondering why? Let me fill you in on 10 of those reasons here on this space:
1. My UNILAG is the school of first choice and the nation’s pride
Call me smug or conceited but you will agree that I am reasonably so because I don’t attend no last resort school! Over the years statistics shows that UNILAG was the most preferred institution of choice for UTME candidates not that alone UNILAG is the first ever university in the world to produce two graduating student with a CGPA of 5.0/5.0(hope you haven’t forgotten sha??).

2. We’ve got the REP!
And years of deference to show for it too! Step out with a UNILAG certificate and you’ll know what I mean. We get concession above all others because our certificate echoes tonnes.
