I believe there's more to this issue than what we have read here. I don't want to believe that the decision of the council is deliberately to support falsification of any kind. Again, there's more to this.

My God. .



UNN is turning into another useless University like UNIBEN.




In other news; I hear that UNIBEN would soon be closed and turned into a Shoprite in Benin.

What is evil in what the prof. did ?
She only took her chances and she succeeded,
I will repeat once again that Nigerians do not care
about genuine certificate.

mickey45:


We all know what "strict" means coming from a student especially one from where things mentioned above happen.

He is very strict and is now with CBN, the other who is "kind" is still at base.....

I must assume you're taking from the demography you've been exposed to.


If you speak and reason this way, I can only re-post this to you

The depth to which education standards in Nigeria has sunk
is, arguably, quite alarming. I work in the City (London),
where some time last year, my colleagues and I decided to
carry out a research which compares financial regulations in
UK and Nigeria. To facilitate this study, we needed journal
papers addressing financial regulations in both countries
(Nigeria and the UK). So, we searched databases, and
realised that there was a vast amount of published materials
from both countries which could be used for the literature
review. In the case of Nigeria, many of these were written by
lecturers, associate professors, and professors in the so-
called “TOP NIGERIAN” universities: UNILAG, UNN, UNIBEN,
ILORIN, etc.
To our consternation, however, over 95% of the papers
published by Nigerian academics were of an extremely low
standard both in terms of contents and grammar. In fact, we
(5 of us on the team) all felt that if these published papers
were to be graded as undergraduate coursework
submissions in a typical UK university, none would score
Grade A (70–100%). One of us further mooted that we
clandestinely submit the best of these papers (especially
those locally published in Nigeria) to top journals in Europe
and North America for blind peer review. We did! Out of 25
papers (sent to 25 different academic journals in Europe,
USA and Canada), 22 did not go through the initial editorial
reading. For those in the know, this implies that the
respective journal editors considered the papers absolute
waste of precious times to send them for academic peer
reviews. That is to say these 22 papers were deemed NOT
FIT FOR PURPOSE! The remaining three papers went through
peer review. Each was reviewed by three anonymous
reviewers; each reviewer REJECTED each of the three
reviewed papers. In other words, these journal articles were
not of international standards and could never find their
ways into prestigious journals published by Routledge’s
Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Sage, etc.
Now, these are the type of ‘papers’ which form the basis of
academic staff appointments and promotions in Nigerian
universities. It also, largely, forms the basis upon which
undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships (i.e. citations)
are based. In one case, an author (based at UNILAG)
published 15 journal articles in one single year (2011). I do
not know of any professor at Harvard, Stanford, Yale,
Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, LSE, Imperial, etc, who is capable
of publishing 10 peer review academic articles in one single
year—search Google to prove me wrong (I know this as MBA
and PhD holder from one of these ivory towers)! This
reckless and fraudulent faux pass is, however, possible in
Nigerian universities. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few
scholars of international repute in Nigeria whose works have
been published in top notch academic journals. Many of
these (who can only publish modestly) must be struggling
(one can only imagine) to survive amidst the majority who
publish sham articles in bogus journals.
Most concerning for the team is the standard of education
which undergraduate and postgraduate students studying
under these cheats—who shouldn't be anywhere near
pedagogy and research in Nigeria’s ivory towers—are
receiving. Most disheartening is the impact these fraud
authors are making on future generations of Nigerians. Two
biggest questions which our adventure posed are as follows.
First, if Nigerians at home continue to receive substandard
education in the hands of rogue academics, how could they
successfully compete and excel in the global markets?
Second (and if this ugly situation is not arrested), would
Nigerians not continue, even in their own country, to remain
inferior to, and short-changed by, Asians (Indians and
Chinese) and Caucasians who are continuing to invade its
technology, engineering, oil and gas, construction, and other
sectors?

[size=15pt]@ mickey45: I'm following this thread. It's really disheartening. Nigeria, including its academia, has deteriorated to the point that what its current crop of citizens do is glorify and celebrate mediocrity. The vast majority of Nigerian academics are incompetent and laughing stocks at international conferences.[/size]

neocortex:


I am not unaware of the rot in the Nigerian system particularly the education sector,
but I am writing based on reality and fairness.
In Nigerian society, many believe that the end justifies the means, e.g becoming a prof. invalidates any
allegation of scholarly fraud against an academic also occupying a political office raises an individual above
criticisms.
The whistle blower knew the consequences of his noble actions before embarking on them and
I believe he must have prepared for the worst.

Finally, my initial posts though blunt were actually satirical.
