Ace Ventura: As much as I give him the props for all he's been doing in his state. I don't support this @ all. I know that he means well for the future generation but this Is a complete foul. It's just like giving solid beef to a new born baby. How do you expect the kids to benefit fully from using the tablet without Internet connectivity? He should have started small. That's my candid opinion.

I give Ogbeni the props for a lot of development that he's brought to his state but this strategy no follow @ all.

Lol

D opon imo needs not have any internet application, its aim is simple wch is to equip d students academic wise collaborating d efforts of d teachers nd ds is justified by d contents therein...all subjects, syllabuses, even plus past question.
I wonder y a secondary school student student will go surf d internet for solutions to questions, na over sabi be dt wch ultimately leads to failure. They will rather abuse d internet facility sef eg going for porn...
Internet facility will be pure distraction from d primary purpose...

We've sitting at home for d past 2wks now. He is now using d so call opon ifa to campaign against 2014.
If he is trying to campaign for 2014...He would solve the Polythecnic strike(Not all the state tertiary institution) first, btw If u have been following Osun Govt. Wella U will know the Govt has been planning on the Opon Imo long ago, So ur point is pointless

You just cannot satisfy human beings.

If this man has built an ultra modern library in every school and equipped it with books from Cambridge University, Havard e.t.c. They will still complain and say how many people are using library, it is just a waste of money, oh he should have used the money to buy ....... People play politics with everything even PDP will come out now and say he wants to use it to Islamise Osun State.

Let us give credit to whom it is due. He has done well. I was in Osun State throughout the time of Oyinlola and I know how the whole state was.

Mobile textbooks ! for all subjects plus other features, surely the WAEC and jamb performance of students in Osun state public schools will improve drastically in less than 24 months. This is not a conventional library, it is a mobile library without borders , why will any sane person prefer a conventional library?

If you are not myopic, you will visualise the results this will get, this is way different from the mini laptops given out by the Ekiti State, The Opon-Imo is well conceptualised.

The fact that porns were found on the laptops given out to some students, does not mean the laptop is not benefical to them academically, it is important we dont turn logic on its head. You cant force a camel to drink water, you can only take it to the stream. BTW, i am certain the Opon-Imo in Osun state is better conceptualized than the Minilaptop in Ekiti state. If you like build all the best of libraries in all schools, some students will never go in there to learn. Many students sit for WAEC and Jamb exams not having access to textbooks or past questions.

Re: Osun Distributes Free Tablet-Computers To Students by Nobody: 10:55pm On Mar 19, 2013
courage89: I think this is not only a bad idea, but wastage of public funds. How are these people to charge tablets when there is no constant electricity? What benefit/benefits are they to gain by learning how to use e-tablets, that will be useful to them in real life? How much are they expensing on these elephant projects? How do you quantify the benefits of these projects and how do you measure its success?

Why not use these funds to build libraries, and equip them with necessary books, past questions and other tools to enabble these student focus properly. Why not use these funds to subsidize after hour lessons for these students. Why not use the money to setup computer labs, and employ competent teachers to teach these students the fundamental rudiments of ict.


Dude STFU or stuff your device charger in your butthole.
You think everywhere is like whereever the fvck u reside? Osogbo, Ife, Okuku amongst other towns in Osun state have atleast 20 hours of electric power suppply.

The points in your second paragraph are reasonable but who says those things are lacking in the schools over there?

Don't just open the trench you call mouth and spew putrid thoughts!

[b]Chai!! Nigerians are in deep trouble...

Osun state just added atleast 10million US dollars to their recurrent expenditure.

Let me explain.. So tablets were handed to students in secondary school today. We all forget that tomorrow, this set would pass out and another would come and they too will need tablets as well. That means every year, osun will fork out millions of dollars to buy them tablets. If the state is that wealthy, then no problem, but you and I know that osun is far from that.

Secondly, what's the quality of the schools in osun state? Atleast rivers state governor has built solid structures and equipped them such that will in 10years, many sets of students will meet good schools on ground, what of osun schools? Rivers state even provides books and uniforms free to students as well.

40 million dollars would have set up a good statewide I.T structure in all the schools that would have served many students for years.

Tablets are like phones. They are good but come with issues. Some will break, some will crash, some will get damaged some will get missing. What service and replacement plan was set up for these tablets if any and how accessible is it to all osun students!? Wouldn't puting 100 internet enabled computers in all schools in osun state have been cheaper!?

I love this concept on its surface value, but in the long run, sounds like penny wise, pound foolish. This feels like a white elephant programme by this government and its sustainability is in doubt. Let's not forget that these are kids and they are very likely to damage these toys and I wonder if osun government would replace them when they get damaged or lost.

Another thing is if they have adjusted the osun syllabus/curriculum to factor in these tablets. How about electricity to charge them!? Remember these are public school students and are most likely rural dwellers who we all know have minimal access to electricity, water and roads. And what about the specs of these tablets!?

A few years back, some states gave out laptops to students. How is that programme today!? Are they still giving out these laptops or was it a one time government promo.

Let face it. I'm happy for these students. Atleast even if its for just now, they all get to enjoy owning a luxury toy. However, if the schools in osun state are shiit and the quality of education rubbish, then this move is like putting fresh paint on a damaged building. You can't leap before you walk and the cost implication might cripple the state should this be sustained.

My 10cents..
