DISCLAIMER

Our attention has been drawn to a publication containing research purportedly written by one of the Part Time Postgraduate Diploma Students in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Lagos - Stanley Amalaha, titled “Science of Gay Marriage” in THISDAY Newspapers of 5th September, 2013 and on several blogs on the Internet.

The University of Lagos writes to dissociate itself in its entirety from the actions, publications and research of this individual. We further state, for the avoidance of doubt, that his publication has nothing to do with his programme and has no relationship to his studentship of the University. Indeed our postgraduate diploma students ordinarily only take conversion courses to improve their capability for the chosen specialization and do not undertake research. The case of the writer who has a background in Education (Chemistry) is not different.

Although the University is a market place of different views and ideas, its platform should not be used for the propagation of ill-conceived, unsubstantiated and ill-digested opinions that have no basis in rigorous empirical research. The University of Lagos, which stands for excellence in teaching and research, cannot and should not be associated with such puerile and pseudo-scientific postulations.
The University reaffirms its mission, which is to be a top-class institution for the pursuit of excellence in knowledge through learning and research as well as in character and service to humanity.

Deputy Registrar

So what are they saying

This write-up is supposedly coming from professors, doctors,phd holders e.t.c, yet one cannot make sense of the article.

I've always said, the problems of Education in Nigeria is with the Lecturers and managers of our Universities.

How come the road side mechanics,bricklayers,carpenters are able to train their apprentices to become experts and in turn train others, yet our lecturers with their doctorate degrees n ph.ds cannot produce a graduate who can create job for himself not to talk of creating employment for others.

@shortgun, God bless u my brother. I can't even read any meaning to this writeup.

Ok

Nigeria Universities sabi disclaim big time...the guy should be encourage. if know if the guy were to be a student of Harvard University he would be celebrated

HAHAHAHA
FAILURE IS AN ORPHAN
DENYING ONE OF THEIR OWN
WHILE THEY'RE @IT THEY CAN REVOKE
MR. SHAME (OGA @D TOP)'S DEGREE
AND SACK THAT BONEHEADED PROFESSOR
THAT WAS ON ALJAZEERA

The publication didn't impress them and so they have no option but to disassociate themselves from it. I read the publication. Which kind of weak research be that sef. E funny and too cheap no be small. First page things

Is gay marriage now a science?

I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

Now I know examination is not the true test of knowledge...

Studying to pass and studying to know are two different concepts.

It's such a huge shame that the paradigm of Nigeria employment criteria is based on grades... Neglecting the test for knowledge.
So disheartening.

Nonsense

How do I make a sensible comment now when I don't even know what the article entails.

There was nothing scientific abt d write up. Still wondering how Thisday could publish such. The media attention it received is an insult & indictment of Nigeria's education.

@Shortgun: Your 'writeup, which is in itself a 'misfiring', ' simply shows that you need some education!
Please try and read again.

If the research was weak and cheap, how come it made news on THISDAY Newspaper?

there is no room for tolerating mediocrity

ASUU & Federal Govt finally reached a conclusion...
Federal Govt is to provide 16 virgins, 40 tubers of yam, 28 live aligators, 2 baskets of kolanut and 120 kegs of palmwine on or b4 full moon.
School resumes in 4 Eke market days.
The gods have spoken!

That guy was sponsored by gay rights propagandists, people need to start thinking outside the box. The idea is to ridicule Nigerians who don't approve of homosexuality by coming out with such a ridiculous experiment. Gay right propagandists will go to any length to push forward their agenda.

bcause ntin was available for publication

That guy is dumb and his lecturere too

MAULAG OR UNILAG

Good one

I am about to be banned for ever on nairaland by sexkillzzzzzzzz

Scun: I believe that guy knows what he is doing, he is either a sympathizer for homosexuality or gay himself.

he looks gay, i can bet my life on it, he is gay and scared.

To all those using this opportunity to blast our education system, that guy might just be more intelligent than you for all we know. I believe that guy knows what he is doing, he is either a sympathizer for homosexuality or gay himself.

Where is the publication they are disassociating themself?
Is it the like pole and unlike pole theory?

ℓ thought ASUU is on strike why should tђε̲̣̣̣̥ registrar be making official statements.
If that guy wants †☹ do gay research or practice it he better go W̶̲̥̅̊hε̲̣̣̣̥я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ it is telorated. So he can have many specimens Fø̲̣̣я proper researchand practicals biko.

I don't know how people believe such a grown man like that will really come up with something like that without having an ulterior motive. Those of you claiming to have better education, should learn to think outside the box. In this 21st century, not all things are really what they seem to be.

There is this yoruba saying that fit in here.... Igba isoro la n mon ara eni.

If the student has achieved greatly from another project, the school admin would give him support and attest firmly to this but now that it brought shame to them, they are kicking against it. No way

Your post showcases complete ignorance about academic research.
