Forget the boring graduation ceremony you’ve seen in movies. A Nigerian convocation is a whole different vibeeeee. Sure, it’s a big day for the graduates, but it also attracts a colorful cast of characters.
This is a list of everyone you can expect to see at any Nigerian convocation ceremony.
(1) Slayers:
If “I will be there no matter what” were a person, it would be them.
Their main reason for attending the ceremony is to show off their outfit. After all, there’s nothing wrong with making a grand exit.
(2) Food Hustlers:
They aren’t graduating, but the ceremony would be incomplete without them.
They move in groups, going from tent to tent, collecting food and souvenirs. They can gather enough food to last three years.
(3) Grumpy Ones:
Graduation una.
You can see it on their faces; they couldn’t care less about being there. They were probably forced by their parents to attend.
(4) Award Packers:
The star of the show.
They collect all the awards, receive cash gifts, scholarships, and job offers.
Their most frequently said sentence that day would be “Thank you,” due to the many congratulations they would receive.
LasLas school no be scam.
(5) That Emotional Student:
Yes, that freshman or sophomore who can’t imagine the rest of their time in school because the person who always came through for them countless times is finally leaving.
Dont worry ehn, it will soon be your turn.
(6) Picture takers:
They’ve been dreaming of this moment since they first entered school. After witnessing three to four convocations, it’s finally their turn.
Their mission now is to wear that gown and take plenty of pictures.
(7) Future Planners:
(This one na just step one out of 70)
Instead of calming down and enjoying this moment, they are already thinking about NYSC, 15 Masters, and 67 PhD’s.
