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.

Former igbobian (left in 1992) now living in London. My father was i think the first or second generation to be an Igbobian (Late Chief Architect Adedokun Adeyemi) - do you remember him? I Hope to visit home with the family sometime in the future, so I'll pass through.

Seeing the video clips bring back memories. My years at the college (1966 - 1972) prepared me well for life's obstacles.
UP I SAY!!!
The typewriter clip was world class.lol
Say! Say! Say! Up IC! Its a great school with loads of great memories me. I left in 1994, i am a medical doctor and currently reside in Johannesburg.
Its however unfortunate that ICOBA has not moved with the times in terms of cyber-connecting old and new student via a webpage of some sort even or through face book.
I love my almamata anyday. Dr. Victor and Akinlabi Odeshola
