Dr Oladipo Fashina (JINGO) Retires, OAU Community Will Surely Miss You by gannycute: 8:23am On May 19, 2016 |
No one attended OAU Ile-Ife without coming across the
enigma “JINGO” as Dr. Oladipo Fashina is fondly called. He
would come to his classes right on the dot of the lecture
hour. He simplified otherwise boring Philosophy lectures
through his pedagogic techniques, vivid examples,
homegrown analogies and spontaneous invention of names
(e.g. Jingo, Bombata, Bonboko etc) to illustrate. He would
remove his trademark sandals right on the podium to drive
home his points. His shirts' sleeves sometimes served as the
duster on the chalkboards; he was the only lecturer that had
full command of the tumultuous crowd that was typical of
most 100 level courses. He once gave a deadline for
submission of a class Assignment as 12 midnight of a
Sunday; we were stupefied when we tried slotting our
papers underneath his office door at 12.05 and Jingo was
pushing it back from the other side of the closed door. An
Activist to the core, a thorn in the flesh of IBB regime. An
attempt to arrest him by the SSS led to two of the SSS men
been ‘arrested’ and ‘detained’ by the ever vigilant Great Ife
students. Their car, a white Peugeot 504 SR, was to become a
relic at the courtyard of Awo Hall for years. I got so
indoctrinated with his teachings that I took more philosophy
courses than required for my degree. His tenure later as the
ASUU national president was revolutionary. As Dr. Oladipo
Fashina (Jingo) bows out of OAU after 40 years of molding
lives, I say with clenched fist ALUTA CONTINUA ad infinitum. Original writer: Itafa Olayemi Olaboye Cc... Fynestboi 3 Likes 1 Share |
