The Igbobi College Old Boys’ Association (ICOBA) recently organised a colourful reunion for the 90s decade, with the theme ‘Reconnecting and Strengthening the ICOBA 90’s Decade’.
In his remarks, chairman of the decade, Noble Habeeb Abdul-Quadri, described the gathering as a homecoming for members of the 90s set to strengthen fellowship and reawaken the bond that has sustained ICOBA through the years.
The National President of ICOBA, Chief Yomi Badejo Okunsanya, stated that the sound of the school anthem stirred a nostalgic feeling in him and commended his mother for allowing him to be part of Igbobi College. He also urged members not to lose their identity after leaving school, reminding them that they are “elephants”.
The festive atmosphere reached its peak when the school song reverberated through the venue. Old boys sang with unmistakable joy, a moment participants described as both nostalgic and instructive, reminding them of the discipline, camaraderie and ideals that set Igbobi men apart.
Aside from from the songs and fellowship, the reunion provided a wholesome blend of health, recreation, and community bonding, with activities such as medical checks, indoor sports events, food, and entertainment.
