Did you attend loyola College Ibadan in the 90s?

Culled from Shegz n stuff

Strangest thing happened this morning.

While getting ready for work, my mind was suddenly flooded with images and memories from my years in boarding school. For some weird reason, life in the early 90’s in Loyola College, Ibadan, Nigeria began playing like a movie reel in my minds eye. I don’t recall dreaming about it, (which would have explained the sudden influx of memories), but it was just there! From my first day on campus when it quickly dawned on me that Loyola College Ibadan, was VERY VERY VERY DIFFERENT from Loyola College Maryland; to the long days of waiting for my parents to visit with some extra provisions – this morning was all LOYO! So it got me thinking, and as a result I came up with a TOP 10 LIST of quirks that distinctly makes one an official 90’s Loyolan! So here you go!

Running a barbing salon can fetch you millions in a year – Taiwo and Kehinde Bello, CEOs, Ejire Barber Shop

Posted by Omo-olomo

By Olaoluwa Mimiola

THE saying that barbers are millionaires is an undeniable fact! This is because an average man, who bothers about his look, visits barbershop every three days, parting with between N300 and N500 as service cost or sometime more, depending on the type of barbing salon, thereby spending between N2,400 and N6,000 in a month. Suffice it to say that any barber with an average of 100 of such customers per month, can comfortably earn between N240,000 and N600,000 per month.

The above analysis confirms barbing salon as a silent money-making business.
