The assignment was about community mobilization- encouraging a community of people to address an issue and see that they worked together towards the solution. Professor Ojebode told the fifty of us in the Communication Development class that we were to choose a primary school within the University of Ibadan campus or outside in the city [...]

UI Snapshots
Posted in Blogstream, University of Ibadan, tagged Egypt, faculty of arts, University of Ibadan on February 7, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Hard to believe it’s already February 7th. The dry heat of the harmattan teased us with a short return, but now it’s back to the sticky, wet, unbearably hot humidity. Most of my friends in Wisconsin are probably still reeling from last night’s Super Bowl win. I decided not to watch the game because it [...]
UI architecture, a lesson in geometry
Posted in Blogstream, University of Ibadan, tagged architecture, University of Ibadan on January 15, 2011 | 5 Comments »
I appreciate the architecture around University of Ibadan so much because of how geometric it is. So many of the buildings build tessellations into their design. You see repeating shapes on buildings all over. They all catch my eye and add to the beauty of this campus.

I am excited to start this new category on my blog, which I’ll call UI Snapshots. This way you can see what I see everyday. [...]
Goats, chickens and lizards, oh my!

Alarm clocks are useless to me in Nigeria. Every morning around 6:30 a.m., whether I want to wake up or not, the piercing caws of chickens wake me from my slumber. If you have never heard a cock crow before, it is not as pleasant as the fairy tale version cock-a-doodle-doo. It is alarmingly loud [...]
Nigerian Lawnmower

The Nigerian lawnmower is a machete. Men hunch over and chop at the grass. The University of Ibadan campus takes landscaping very seriously so you see grass cutters out all the time. This man cuts the grass in the backyard of my house.
