OAU students stage hilarious costumed dance in mock Independence Anniversary

While President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo, played host to dignitaries at a low budget ceremony at the Aso Villa, other Nigerians celebrated the Anniversary in their states, and the students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, were not left out.

On the 1st of October, 2015, the Federal Republic of Nigeria celebrated 55 years of Independence from the United Kingdom.

While President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo, played host to dignitaries at a low budget ceremony at the Aso Villa, other Nigerians celebrated the Anniversary in their states, and the students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, were not left out.

In what could be best described as a dramatized mock-ceremony, the students filed out in white and green apparel and put up a comical dance.

Looking more like members of the Cherubim and Seraphim movement in their white gowns and green waist sashes, they had their own towering and stern-looking President Buhari and his smaller bodied 2nd in command.

It was hilarious.

This is not the first time students of the institution will hold a mock version of serious events.

In August, the students held a mock Oro ceremony following the demise of the fiftieth traditional ruler of the ancient city, Alayeluwa Oba Okunade Sijuwade.
