Igbobi college Yaba, Lagos. Video

My dad graduated from Igbobi college Yaba, Lagos in 1956, and I was admitted into form 1A of Igbobi college in september 1975. I left Igbobi college after 2 years, as my parents moved to Kaduna in 1977.

In early 2007, Igbobi college, Yaba, Lagos celebrated its 75th founding anniversary, and my dad and I visited the college and swapped stories of our days at the college.

The video clips below show the state of the college now, a far cry from it's days of glory.
