Share your Rag-Day experience.

Just passing by and I saw some students on rag, with 'halloween' costumes, shaking their containers and 'asking' for loose change.

How was your rag day? Which city did you rag? Why did you chose the city? How much did you make? Finally, was it worth it?

I will go first. I ragged as a fresher and after that, I never participated again; it wasn't worth it, not for me. I think I made less than N3000 (if you deduct my transport to and fro)

I went down to Nnewi with my friends. We visited his dad's workplace and that's where majority of the cash came from. The remaining change picked on the street was damn useless.

So, share your rag day experience.

My own rag day was not worth it at all. I made -500 naira Infact, I made 300 naira and used all plus extra 200 from my own pocket on transport. I went to the great Aba city in Abia state

I was too shy to rag

Don't regret it though. Right now it just seems like begging.
I feel it has lost its meaning (don't even know what it means).

Every strange school rags now.

I never ragged cos I never liked it. My first year in school I was interested though, but my aunt in school discouraged me and advised me to concentrate on settling in first. By my second year I had lost interest

.

Rag day? Lol. I think I am not made for that.

N500 for a full day's running around? Its really not worth is.

zerocool: Rag day? Lol. I think I am not made for that.

As in? Are you an undergrad in a Nigerian university?

For a shy person I made upto 8K when I ragged as a fresher. Never regreted the experience. We left as early as 6am and got into the city. In the course of moving around I lost touch with the guys I came with and that was when I saw another friend.

Me and this guy (who happened to be in my department too) later went round and did the craziest things ever. We entered bikes for free telling the bike men that thats how they can support our ragging. We entered a market and things just got crazier. All the market women were just smiling and giving us whatever they had. Some will even want to give you fish lol. After the market we went to shops around doing our thing before our final stop - A huge departmental store complex.

It was there I did the funniest things I could ever think of, was it the faked accents? or the acting? at a point I almost thought I was going mad sef. I pitied the beggars in front of that departmental store as that day we were everywhere so people didn't have much time for them.

At the end of the day I and my friend came together and shared some of what we got with the beggars.

I changed to normal clothes on my way home lol. If I ragged in my area I probably would've made more than 15K in total.

I didn't take a single picture but the images are still fresh in my memory.

Time sure does fly.

^^Great experience you've got there! Wish I had something close to that.

I observed rag day in 200Level and it was the best experience I've had in the university... As I doubt if any other function can top It, I don't think I'd go for that ish again. Being a Medical student, conscience go judge you die!

Well I'm what you call shy especially when it comes to approaching people.

I went with a group of boys from my hostel. And we were just fabulous. We had swag instead of Rag. It was when we got to the bus stop sef we had to "re-rag" ourselves. We chose warri. Why? Cos none of us the five of us had actually been to warri b4.

We left Abraka for warri (delta state) as early as 6:30am clear skies and all. But on getting to the park about 15min later, rain that I've nt seen b4 started falling. Of cos we had doubting minds to go back but our head was straight about going.

It rained for 3hrs + but we fashied the rain and went about our business. Trekking the whole nooks and cranny of warri...
Mention any place in warri... We were there!

But you'd be surprised we didn't actually "beg" our costumes sold us off. I was pinging on my BB, another had an iphone 4s it was soo funny.... People actually begged to take pictures with us. We went to banks, companies, plaza... The last place we went to was the market where we didn't stay up to 10min!

Made about 50k total shared among 3 of us and I had 15k and I used abt 5k on luxury (rented a room at an hotel to change, dinner and cab back to sch). I left warri that day around 8pm or so.

Forgive the length,,, it was a sweet experience. And Abeg na touch screen phone I use take type forgive the typo too.

^^Talk of ragging with swag
Quite an adventure.
