It was with a group of 11 students; Jessica Asirowa,Temi Oyetayo,Tracy Esu, Babatunde Odukoya, Ik Eze, Chisom Ikeocha, Raphael Chinwuko, Ugo Emecheta, Tuale Ajuyah and Faridat Kadiri , drawn from the college English Literature and Geography Classes and their two teachers; Mr . Adeleke and Mr Abrahams, that we set out on an excursion on the 10th of February, 2014. Within an hour of our take off, we were already in Ososa , the home of the legendary Hubert Ogunde, the man said to be the father of modern theatre in Nigeria. The students were not disappointed, as they were taken round the expansive compound of a man you can truly call ‘a theatre mogul’. One cannot but marvel at the vision of this man. In line with this vision,we learnt the government is planning to turn the place to a museum. From the entrance, you can see the highly artistic sculptures, telling stories of Ogunde ‘journey through life’; from that of his favourite wife Adesewa to that of his mother. We had the privilege of visiting different sections of theatre life. The rehearsal hall, costume room, theatre effects room and finally the burial place of the great man himself. What an enriching time, but we had to move to our final destination for the day; Kwara -state. It was a rather long trip, but never a dull moment! The beautiful scenery of virgin lands kept us company and we could not help but marvel at how blessed Nigeria is as a country! Thank God, we got to our destination safely; our hotel was on the serene outskirts of Ilorin. We crawled to our beds. It was with even more excitement that we set...

It was another success story for the college on the 8th of February, 2014, when we had our first Open Day of the year. Insight into what the day would look like began to emerge with the sheer number of people that started arriving at the venue by 10am. By 11am, the college was literally filled with people. We could count close to 5 secondary schools in attendance as well as private visitors. Schools in attendance were ST & T Schools, CMS Grammar School, Dansol High School, Wellspring College and Corona Secondary School. Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, a private university, also seized the opportunity to have a stand in the college hall. The visiting schools had the customary welcoming session in the college reception, followed by a tour of our exemplary facilities. The culmination of the day took place in the hall, where the MD of the college, Dr.(Mrs.) C. O Ogunsanya, the principal, Ms.Scott and the Vice principal, Mrs. Tony-Ubah gave presentations. However, an alumnus of the college, Ejike Ugwu’s testimony of his experience in the college and how it impacted positively on his career and life left an indelible impression. He spoke of how the name, Oxbridge gave him an edge. Mrs.Olowu gave a parent’s perspective of Oxbridge. Her talk could be aptly summed up in her words “OXBRIDGE IS AN EXTENSION OF PARENTAL MORAL DUTIES”. By 1:15pm what was obviously a successful outing came to an end. Kudos to all members of staff for their efforts and contributions. The hall being prepared for the various talks given on the day. Just look at the turnout! We were kept...

On Friday the 31st of January there was a match between Oxbridge Tutorial College and Bridgehouse College. Our team arrived at the stadium and almost immediately , busied themselves with warm-up exercises, in preparation for the game. Watching them warm-up, one could tell that Oxbridge meant business. Bridgehouse arrived, dragging nearly their whole school along with them. The match started properly around 2:50 pm. Our team scored the very first goal of the day, nearly 5 minutes into the match. Within the next 10 minutes the second goal was scored by Oxbridge’s very own Uzoma. It was pretty amazing, in the first 15 minutes we were already in the lead with two goals. Bridgehouse didn’t stand a chance. Jerry scored the last goal, earning him cheers from his teammates and OTC supporters. I don’t know how they [Bridgehouse] did it, but somehow they found a way to equalise with our stellar team. I believe it was pure coincidence or sheer luck, because they couldn’t score until they swapped sides. Let us not forget that the referee was from their school 😮 I wish I could say that we suffered no harm whatsoever, but even the greatest warrior has battle scars. The beauty of everything though was that even injured, the players never lost passion. That was very commendable. Even as a rookie in football, it wasn’t hard to see that the OTC had it!!! Their footwork, teamwork, ball possession, strikers and defenders were really something. Not to forget the fantastic work done by the goalie. On a final note, cheers to all the players and keep up the good work! By Adaramola, AraOluwa Oxpress (As...

It was another successful day that proved rewarding to visitors and hosts...
