busoye19: Prof. Olusola Oyewole, Vice Chancellor, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, has advised students to stop wasting their time on social networks, especially facebook at the expense of their studies.

The VC disclosed this through the former Head of Department of General Studies and Communication, Prof. Bolanle Akeredolu-Ale, at a seminar tagged: Role Modeling Lecture for the Girl-Child, organised by a Ph.D student and 2010 Award Fellow, Mrs. Bolanle Ogunlolu-Akinyemi, Oyewole and sponsored by African Women in Agricultural Research and Development.

He said, “Facebook and other social networks are good, but I will advise you to leave Facebook and face your studies.”

Mrs Oyewole advised female students to desist from procrastination and to understand the importance of time than money.

She however tasked them to learn how to politely and constructively say ‘no’ adding that [size=18pt]they should judge each day by the seeds sown and not by the harvest reaped[/size].

“You know yourself more than anyone else, so desist from comparing yourselves with others,”she concluded.

The institution’s Councillor, Mrs Modesta Ofodile, said students should always use some of their free time as private periods to study, adding that those periods could also be used to refresh and renew their energy.

Ofodile however, advised the students to manage their time well, saying that “if you waste your time thinking there is time, examinations will catch you unawares.”

She noted that serious-minded students rarely get into trouble.

Furthermore, the Head of Department, Food Service and Tourism, Dr. A.M in her lecture informed students about availability of scholarship opportunities they can benefit

chucky234: face + book - your = facebook

born2fuck: Why would students face their book?
What happened to"No handout,No Mark lecturers"

chucky234: Chronic clueless goon,the millions of CEOs on FB are fools abi?

Tusky44: Shows how primitive the VC is as of today. I learned more about the history of Nigeria on several groups on Facebook. I keep up-to-date with the latest news around the globe by following Channels TV, CNN, Aljazeera, and many more on Facebook.

If the main activity on Facebook for any student is to post pictures of her Brazilian hair or weave, change status to "open relationship", sample her new dress and respond with a thank you to every comment on the thread, and other frivolity, she (the VC) is right.

Fredrick909:
www.facebook.com
is corrupting student's too much.
i wonder what people enjoy on facebook. just to get some cheap attention...

SELFWORTH: Am not on Facebook. Never have been. Never will be.U're a fool,dreamer. U guyz don't knw the value of social network.

I'll rather spend my time plotting and planning how I can be the CEO/founder of the next biggest innovation of the century.

I don't understand the obsession with Facebook and will never understand it.

Idle hands really!

caseless: Hmmmm....how many students will take this important advice serious? If u can make facebook as a course in ur university, u will be shocked at the number of A's students will be makin frm that course...everybody go pass am wel-wel.

Anyway, skool cant be sweet without social-networks...."all work and no play make jack a dull boy", no b me talk am ooo...we need some of these social stuffs to amplify the system, but that dosn't mean it should take most of our time of study.

SELFWORTH:

The VC has a point and so do you. A lot of people are on it for the wrong reasons and are just followers. Ask them one tangible thing they have gained out of it, they cant answer.

born2fuck: Why would students face their book?
What happened to"No handout,No Mark lecturers"
"Sex4Mark Lecturers" "Pay 1000 for test and 3500 for exam lecturers" all these bunch of useless lecturers are not encouraging Nigerians

nneh1: if only the vc's will advice the lecturers then we can strike a balance. Occupy the students wit studies they will facebook less but since we pay to pass or sleep to pass , what do you expect our brain to be occupied with? FACEBOOK.

Sunymoore: He should also face his wife's face and stop facing ladies faces

SELFWORTH: Am not on Facebook. Never have been. Never will be.

Idle hands really!

SELFWORTH:

I will ignore your insult because it stems from your ignorance. I guess you are one of the intolerant Nigerians who try to force their opinions down other peoples throat. This is a forum and I am entitled to my opinion, if you don't like it, go and hug your facebook.

Your comments prove who the fool is since you seem to believe only fools are not on Facebook.

I will reverse your comments and say only fools like you are on facebook hence am not impressed.

born2fuck: let them tackle the internal problem first, imagine a student preparing for exam in 3 weeks and all of a sudden strike started, before you knows it, 8 months already counting,should students who don't know the strike call-off day and you expect continue ready,even the parents will be the first to tell them to look for something to do....

Come to some schools, lecturer will be telling you, you will never pass if you did not buy their textbook,even if you invite Jesus, you won't get C because their words will surely come to pass, I have seen a lot and if I continue talking,believe me, you will be surprise some students,don't attend classs,don't attent lectures, you will not even see them during exam and you see A,B in their marks, who is the ghost giving them mark,who are those giving them result?I don't want to mention name of, school.nigeria school to encouraging jooh

brownlord:

Even some can't make a complete statement like you

SELFWORTH:

Abi o. some people have even lost their lives on this facebook both in Nigeria and abroad. Some have lost their homes, jobs and ruined their lives because of it. I am yet to find someone who can point to their achievement from facebook. After posting all their private pictures and thoughts what next?

It has its benefits but only a few have been able to tap into the opportunities it offers. All the rest are purely a source of income for Mark Z.
