16 experiences only people who attended FUTA can totally relate to
If you are a Nigerian and have survived this far with everything going on in this country, you are more than a conqueror.
Everything is a struggle in this part of the world; this is the country where students have to practically go through hell even when they have the will and zeal to go to school. Despite the rate of unemployment in the country, Nigerians are willing to try their luck and opt in for education.
There are so many federal universities in Nigeria. Nigerians who graduated from Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) would be able to relate with the things that would be discussed here. And for those who are still in the school, all the best to you o.
FUTA is one school that would toughen and shape you. Futarians often say whoever attends the school without picking up life lessons may never be able to learn anything in life because of the series of experiences they have had.
Find below some of the experiences those who attended FUTA can relate to:
1. When you have struggle differentiating Obanla and Obakekere
If you have attended this university, you would know how confusing it could be for a fresher to get accustomed to Obanla and Obakekere.
The school is being divided into these two parts. Every student keeps wondering what is with the name. Students have to move from one part to the other daily, if you are unlucky, you could make that journey as many times as possible.

2. When there is a long queue for bus
You definitely do not want to join the queue for bus on some days. There were times students got wounded while rushing for bus. If you are not smart, you may end up trekking from Obakekere to Obanla where most of the lecture theaters are located.
3. When everyone you come across speaks Yoruba funnily
Relax, you will get used to it. You are Ondo state; you may not hear the refined Yoruba spoken in Lagos and other parts of the country. You will be forced to pick out familiar words when people around you speak in order to blend.
4. When you are told to bring fresh pooh for medical test
What is this for crying out loud? There are series of tests that would be run on you during the registration period as a fresher. You would be given small bottles to pee and pooh in as part of the procedure.
The best thing is for you to submit these things quickly, if not you would have to pour them away and give them fresh urine and pooh. Chaii, FUTA students have suffered.
5. When boys start to look at you
Except for now that things are starting to change, FUTA has a high population of boys. The ratio of boys to girls is like ten to one. Boys gawk when they see fine girls in the school as they would do all they could to gain their attention. Every girl in FUTA is beautiful and hot.

6. People get to know you are a fresher when you carry drawing board for MEE 101
Just when you start to blend in the school, some courses would always spoil your parole. MEE 101 is one of those courses; every student must do it. That is the annoying course that makes you carry a drawing board and T-square round the whole school. That is the signature of most freshers.
7. When you see your result after first semester
This is one school that allows you make as many mistakes as possible. Freshers who are all over the school get tamed when they see their first semester results. That is when everyone gets to adjust and focus more on their academic life.
8. When FUTA bread becomes a life saver
This school made bread has been saving lives since forever. Taking FUTA bread and a bottle of coke would give you going for several hours. This is the stage where you do not have money to go eat at SUB. Chinedu’s rice is the most expensive in the whole school.
9. The way students rush to ETF and LT for lectures
FUTA students can read for Africa; they do not joke with lectures. People would run for space when it comes to receiving lectures at these places.
10. When an Akindeko boy visits you
Most of the boys in the hostel are hungry. They would visit girls in Jibowu hostel in order to eat food there. They also go off campus to teach the girls in their class who would cook for them in turn.
11. When students go to Chapel of Faith because of their party food
Chapel of faith is the interdenominational church within the school. Students turn up at this church when they hear there is a party. That is the church where movers and shakers of the university attend.
12. When girls turn up for JDV parties
There are some parties you do not want to miss in FUTA because of the series of things the organisers put into consideration. Girls would always dress up for tight events like this even though they have tests the following day.
This is not like the regular parties that may put you into trouble when bottles are being broken. Remember the list of suspected cultists is regularly updated.
13. When you come back from IT
You are definitely a big boy at this point. Your mentality has changed and you are ready to go into the world outside. You probably did your IT in Lagos and have added weight. The only issue is you still have to do that much-dreaded defence.
14. When ASUU goes on strike when you are about to write your final exams
Nothing else apart from ASUU strike could burst your bubbles. This strike usually takes forever and could shift your year of graduation.

15. When you write your last paper
Futarians are always happy when they finally sign out of the school. Whether they write the last paper well or not, they would do the usual parade round the school taking pictures and signing on each other’s clothes.
16. When people ask if a futarian finished with a 2.1 despite the hustle
You can bet the response you would hear would be ‘Grade does not matter dear, I am just happy I graduated from that school’. You can be sure that they would go back there for their masters, though.
