FINALIST PROFILE This interview affords you the opportunity to meet a sociology finalist, Esho Wemimo. Can we meet you? My name is Esho Wemimo, 400 level sociology, we are three girls and am the first girl and I live with my grandparent. I am from Osun State Why the University of Ibadan? I didn’t want to come to UI, I wanted to go to Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) but unfortunately I ended up here. If I still have my way, I will still not come to UI. My primary school was in UI, my secondary school was in UI and here I again UI for my first degree. I just wanted a change of environment. Apart from that, it would have been a great opportunity to know where I’m from, Osun State. Your best course? I don’t have any Your best lectures? Professor Obono and Dr. Okunola Your best friend and why? My only best friend is Tomiwa, I met her during GES registration in 100Level, it was like Dugbe on fire, and that day she was wearing a yellow top and a yellow bag and a blue jeans with a gorgeous shoe and she helped me because then my ex-boyfriend’s name was Tomiwa, so I liked her immediately and ever since then we became friends, everybody in my family knows her. Why sociology? I initially wanted to study Journalism and many universities in Nigeria don’t offer that and mass communication was the best option, I don’t want to go to Unilag, I hate Lagos, and neither is offering the course. Although, my grandfather also influenced my coming to UI Why don’t you like Lagos? Because ever since I was a kid, I was told that Lagos was a place you didn’t want to live in. The 6months old strike also made me realize that Lagos is a place where everybody is always on the edge and they always want to exploit each other. People seem to think it’s the hit place. It is the commercial place no doubt but I can’t withstand the traffic, they need like up to four to five mainland bridges. What can you say about our class? I see a lot of friction in our class; people forming cliques here and there. Each time, I enter class; it reminds me of East coast and the West coast, they were never friends and they can never come together. Our class is divided into whole bunch of cliques, those living on campus, outside campus and a host of others. Let’s just put our differences aside and let things work. After UI what next? Have not even figured that out because over a month ago I think about what I am going to do with my life. Because initially I don’t want to come to university and am not planning to further my education, I don’t give a shiiiiiiit about school. Am not even planning on getting married either, besides am even against the marriage institution though I respect those who do it but I don’t have plans going into it. Except on an ‘extreme circumstances’ because if I should count 1000 things on my mind, marriage is not one of them. I look around my class and everybody is getting engaged or thinking about marriage. I don’t care because marriage is not a priority for me though is a priority for some that want children but as for me I don’t want to have children. What is your perspective about life? Help who you can because you never know when you might need them Shout out Shout out to Tomiwa. I love you
