I dnt blame him in anyway cos its so painful to loose all u've worked for in 10yrs in a day though I am also a victim of this xame issue in Esut a5ta spending 4yrs in Esut I was asked to go bt it took the intervention of my parents nd folks for me to recover frm dt incident bt as long as there is lyf,2nd chance is always there.its a pity he took his lyfe at the xpense of Education.RIP
my brother, we all kw the university senate re very hrtless n wicked but taking ur own life at the Xpence of education? ? mad.

In the first place, u re not guaranteed a job after graduation that means u can graduate as something n live as another thing. Some finally end up a good business men/women.

rip to him anyway

Hello everyone,let me just brief this.
I actually finished my ssce at the age of 15 In 2012,I
was told I was too young for Uni so I wrote Jamb
2013 @ age 16,I actually passed but was screened
out during p.utme,I also wrote for poly(yabatech)but
was not chosen...instead a lecturer told me to opt
for pt which I did..I still wrote jamb tho(2014) but I
didn't put my all In the exam maybe because I was
doing pt..I had 190 and choose unaab but unaab's
cutoff was 200...so I just gave up on writing
jamb....but the problem is that my mates are now in
200l,300l and am not just enjoying schooling...I ll
actually finish my Nd next year october or
november....Am wondering if I should write jamb
next year or should just go for IT so I can go for
Hnd....am just confused,really need advice pls...
Graduate with distinction or upper credit and apply for direct entry to uni, or u write another JAMB. U won't regret attending a uni, its much worthwhile.

I suffered something similar, tho not comparable in magnitude, in that same institution. I read Chemistry and Carry Over kept raining like its doom's day. I spent six years doing a 4-year discipline and ended up with a depleted CGP embarassed. RIP Idoko cry

Let me educate you a little a bit. When a student is asked to withdraw from a course, it is the responsibility of the student to collect a change of course form to another course. It has nothing to do with the school management and that is why they appoint student advisors for each student but unfortunately most students don't consult with their advisors. The school authorities has no blame in this matter the guy should have taken responsibilith for his own life.

This story is touching. How many more would be frustrated even before reaching the labour market?

Medical Students of the Benue State University, Makurdi, have deposited the coffin of their dead colleague at the office of the Vice-Chancellor in protest.

SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that the deceased, Idoko Nicholas Inalegwu, died in controversial circumstances after receiving the news of his withdrawal after spending 10 years in medical school.

Idoko was withdrawn for failing a re-sit.

A student, who spoke to one of our correspondents on telephone on condition of anonymity, said they believed that Idoko took his life because he could not bear the news that his 10 years in medical was in vain.

“He had been talking about it; that he wished he died a painless death; that the school had finished him. There is nowhere in the world that a medical student is withdrawn after spending 10 years,” he said.

The student said the students had complained about the manner in which examinations were conducted, where re-sits were prolonged for up to one year, as against the stipulated six weeks, with no efforts to engage the students.

The students, after an altercation at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital mortuary, obtained the coffin of their dead colleague and marched to the VC’s office, vowing not to leave until their grievances were resolved.

All efforts to reach the Vice-Chancellor, Mrs. Charity Angya, for comments proved been abortive as she neither picked several calls made to her mobile phone nor responded to a text message sent to her as of the time of filling this report.

Your misogynistic outlook on life stinks. Did the woman make the law? Can she single handedly change the law? What's the Senate for? FYI, if you fail resit twice you fail out even if you have spent 20years. It's unfortunate the poor guy took his life so never you blame the VC or let alone make it a woman thing. Hope i have made my self clear

So if a person fails, it's because they have a female supervisor? I think you have a problem.

In medical school, the proper thing was to have called him, told him, counseled him, and worked on him psychologically. I'm assuming they didn't do these. You don't allow someone to spend all these years only to see his withdrawn status on the notice board. Many of our schools are guilty of this. The feeling of emptiness that follows withdrawal from medical school at advanced levels is indescribable. You think of all the wasted years of hard work and feel like crumbling. If you're not mentally strong and/or have no one to encourage you, you may never recover. I'm speaking from experience.

Thank God this mentally unsound person was not allowed to be a doctor.

Secondly, is it not the norm in Nigeria (like in the UK and US) that if one is studying medicine, within the first few years they obtain a degree in another subject so that if they don't make it in obtaining a degree in medicine, then they have something to fall back on?

It is not the norm. I guess life has not dealt with you. You're probably privileged.

U can't generalise, friend. & most often than nt, it's ppl's attitudes (of men especially) dt make sm women leaders turn out to wateva dey became(nt justifiable tho). the present V. C. of TASUED, Ogun State is a woman & doing wonderfully well. Many male lecturers don't like her though cos she's highly pincipled.

Obviously this wasnt managed properly by the school
The school should have advised him to withdraw much earlier when they discovered that he wasnt doing well rather than wait this long
They should have worked with him and looked at other career options years ago.
He may not have been a good doctor but he could have been good in something else.

Suicide is not the answer, but he is gone now
Hopefully the school will learn from this tragedy and do something to avert this from happening again in the future


haven't we wondered Y ev1 wants 2 b a doctor?believe me, he must av seen warning signs bt trying 2 ignore them& wif d Nigerian mentality of 'squeezing it fru'. he probably wrote sm of d core exams twice or kept repeating classes. also bearing in mind d ASUU strike actions & d likes.

Great mentality! Our mentality is a product of our upbringing, environmental input and personal experiences. His was different and I can't fault him for that even if I believe his action was too extreme.
