THE REAL TRUTH BEHIND THE AGANYIN PALACE STORY

Everyone in the University of Lagos knows Aganyin Palace. When I say everyone, I mean students, academic,  staff, non-academic staff etc. If you are an Akokite and you do not know Aganyin Palace  then we need to really look into your admission. JK. For those dear readers who aren't Akokites, Aganyin Palace is a restaurant/canteen, located inside Jaja shopping complex, where the best by far Aganyin beans in Unilag is sold. Just like the name implies, it is truly the home of ROYAL BEANS. Students flock from all parts of school, just to have a taste of it. Working class men in suits would drive cars to the place and join the queue. Over there, there was no segregation.  As a matter of fact, I do have a friend who last session, used to take cab from school gate to main campus, just to enjoy this delicacy. But for a large part of this semester, the place has been locked and no one knew why.

Just a couple of days ago, rumours began to fly around school about the reason why the place had not functioned for a while. This rumours were extremely disgusting. The most disgusting and also most common was one which claimed that the woman who owned the place was allegedly caught washing her privates into the water which she used to cook the 'amazing' beans. Irritating right? ya I know. I threw-up into my own mouth upon hearing this. I was so grossed-out.

I was a loyal customer of Aganyin Palace. It was directly opposite my hall of residence for last session, so it was just a stone-throw from me. Every Jaja boy knows how difficult it is to get food on Sundays due to the fact that almost all the shops at Red-Bricks are closed on Sundays but Aganyin palace was always there for us.

This prompted me into digging deep into the truthiness of the story. After contacting some of the people I know in high places, running around school to find answers. Was the story true? Finally I got what I was looking for. The story was 100% FALSE !!! *sigh*
It was just a lie framed  by an attention seeking student, who my sources told me is a girl called Oyindamola.


So why has the place been shut all this while?
The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria actually own the place, And due to the Director for Students' Affairs (DSA) intervention in some matters of the MSSN Unilag, some activities were halted in the bid to calm situations that have arisen. The outlet was also affected and was shut indefinitely.

This rumour has caused damage to the reputation of the place and the management are skeptical about reopening.

Please ignore the distasteful rumour and and put the initiator to shame.
