MrHighSea:
That scenerio u described happens between my Prof and the HOD of the department.
He ordered us one day to go call the HOD, that without projector he can't teach. The HOD's secretary said HOD no dey. Oboy Prof halla, se He told him to come to work.
Make una pray for me.o The said Prof is my supervisor. I'm to submit my topic latest next month. I dy read RIGHT NOW sef.

SmellingAnus:
been close to lecturers even as an undergraduate, I can tell you some lecturers are into married women including the pregnant ones so it's highly possible that she is speaking the truth... I guess the lecturers in the university you attended were saints which university is that again?

cosade:


Unfortunately, a good number of them are without their senses intact.

Jotter:

The only way to change this is to change the culture and mind set if the lecturers first, if this can be done, then put infrastructures in place and BOOM! You begin to see results, but we seem to be putting the cart before the horse, it does not work that way.

dangotesmummy:
they weren't saints.they did their own runs underground and very codedly.when I was an undergraduate they dated the matured ones among us but not from the same department. For example a lecturer in the department OF nursing will go very far to date a lady in economics.they don't do it with the students under them so that they won't BE easily caught

And they were in an unholy relationship some of the girls were doing it just for fun some for money and some were dating lecturers in another department because the man happened to be a friend of her manfriend lecturer so that he will give her preferential treatment as per grades e.g iyawo ore wa things

dangotesmummy:
can't you request for a change of supervisor from your hod if you're not comfortable working with him.I remember when I was doing my masters in one of this federal universities notorious for delaying students. We were the ones going to the hods office everyday to beg them to give us supervisor. That hod use us catch trips well. I can never forget him.I just got pissed and dumped their maaters for them

I remember those days the hod will be telling us " please get out.you cannot be coming to my office every time and be harassing me in my own office

He was so pompous you will almost think we almost came to his office to beg him for money

He will use us to go meeting. We will be standing in front of his office .he will use us to eat and be chatting on his phone. Omo I just called their bluff

dangotesmummy:
university of ibadan is living on past glory /reputation. They're not different from oau when it comes to unnecessary bureaucratic delays.oau like[b] ibadan can give you 1001 reasons why you will not graduate OR why you don't deserve to graduate even after fulfilling all their requirements[/b]

They believe spending 8years for an MSc degree is a thing of pride and worth boasting about

MrHighSea:
I paid and applied for a change of field (from his field to another Prof's field) in 1st semester. HOD told me he said him and the Dean should not sign the form, I weak. Sha Prof sabi book wella and I too is in Academic. I ones got a job and scholarship by mentioning is name. That's why I just have to show that I can deliver cause of future relationship.

Don't be so quick to downgrade Nigerian universities.

I am an Erasmus Mundus student here in Romania and due to the broadness of my program, I do attend courses in many departments. But mostly with MSc agribusiness students.

In the MSc Agribusiness (Department of Economics) students here take a Statistics course that I have done back in FUNAAB at 100 and 200L and I can tell you most of them have no idea about it. The class makes me look like a very brilliant student because it's so easy for me and funny thing is I'm not offering the course and hate statistics but only attending it because I like the professor (I think she's hot and I like to see her face).

The professor for one of my courses hasn't even attended any of the classes. We don't have the lecture notes (He always promises to send them but never will). Exam starts in 2 weeks, I wonder what we're going to write or how we're going to be graded.

The differences is just that the intensity of courses in Nigeria is much higher but here it's much practicalized. You go on trips, sent on observation, perform case studies etc and you're basically seated in front of a WIFI computer in Classes and you better have good computer+Microsoft office skills.

Before in Nigeria, I was a shy student. But after 3 presentations/week in Romania, you can be rest assured the stage fright is gone. Also the classes are conducive and not too populated (Well, since only 20% attend the classes. I meet the other 80% in Pubs and Coffee shops and they introduce themselve as my colleague)

Christine01:


Are you sure about this or you are just re-echoing what someone told you?

SmellingAnus:
hahahha honestly your lecturers are saints... Mine don't care .... Infact someone complained to me about how a girl was bleeped in a lecturers office justs because she needed academic favour .... I have heard from girls of how they were harrased by departmental lecturer... I remember my ex girlfriend, she went to meet her hod cos she failed his course but the man decided that he must Sleep with her in his office and he was even making moves but she rejected his offer and of course she carried over the course... There are many more of these stories that are even worse that I know of..

Flakosixfive:

Then what was the point of the whole defence. They could just gave requested for the monetary equivalent of the items you bought and waived the ceremonial defence for you na abi?

mrphysics:

UNN has never done M.Sc for a year. The dean of postgraduate studies Prof. A.U.Ubachukwu is a professor in my department and he taught me in my final year, and he always tell us about post graduate studies in UNN. I have made many researches on UNN M.Sc but i haven't heard or seen anyone that did it for a year. maybe your own is special.

aigjoey:
Absolutely an interesting discuss, our Dr and prof are obsolete. Hence, MSc depends on 80% of self effort. I am from delsu. The delay is partly the students fault and partly the school. In delsu, lecturers are mild from my experience but there are some stupid ones who believed they are demi gods and will always fail you. God is already dealing with them anyway. Also, the new vc is trying to organize the program and the improvements are laudable. The acceptance fee is 45k and school fees is 111k. Returning students pay 95k. Give delsu a try but ur personal effort counts.

ALVA001:

good day sir, I am a graduate of Agricultural Economics, 2.1, I recently applied for erasmus mundus QEM scholarship. this I did because I couldn't find an exact programme that deals with agricultural economics. Now from your comment above I can see that this program is actually available. sir I would like to know if I have made the right choice by QEM, or there is still a way I could choose an agricultural economics related course. Thank you sir for your time. permit me to send you a pm sir.

Dear fellow and prospective pg students, I am presently an M.Sc Students at UNILAG. My experienced till date in UNILAG is disheartning and discouraging. In UNILAG, like the Initiator of this topic said, u are taught those topic that u had been taught in ur undergraduate days, which understandably is because of those students that r from other fields but crossed over to ur field but notwithstanding, u r only taught 20% of what u need to know as a pg student. That aside, at UNILAG, therefore is this endemic disease of favouritism among virtually most of their lecturers. U can imagine, during My 1st semester there, a lecturer came a round to introduced their best graduated student during a particular year who the school authority has inadvertly retained based on their doctrine, who we r both undergoing d same pg programme, and d lecturer said that d guy is indomitable and non of us can surpass him based on academic performance. To My chagrin, this guy had A's in all the courses except two lecturer who face him B's. This is d guy that didn't start d programme early with us. This is d guy that didn't partake in someone assignments because of this lateness. And more worrisome, this guy had highest in most CA's and exams. No test to measure our CA performances but only assignments. This same event has been persisting in d 2nd semester. This lecturers only give good marks to there students(Akokites) and cronies and those of us from other institutions, r left with nothing to write HOME about. Our faith to secure the minimum academic grade to be qualified for PHD has been dashed and unrealisable. As a result of this, I asked a friend of mine in the same institution and someone other people and they said is nothing new to them. That is a Customer and tradition thing at UNILAG. I am now sailing in a regretable boat that had I seeked people's advice before obtaining d from, I wouldn't have fallen a victim. On this note, My advice for prospective pg students is for them to go to their root I.e. the school they did their undergraduate programmes for their pg programmes because most Universities in Nigeria r not immuned from diseases of favouritism, stereotyping, factionalism and man-know-man. It's a common saying that d devil u know for a time immemorial is letter than d Angel u just know today.
My submission. Thank u.

fratermathy:


Yea. Prof. Peretomode is really rebranding delsu. He's working really hard.
But DELSU's use of multiple defences constitutes a problem in itself.

dangotesmummy:
LMao. They're not saints o. Some of these girls too get their own for body.some girls actually like the idea of dating lecturers.it makes them feel yes my manfriend is a lecturer. Some actually lust over their lecturer and some girls like office sex in the evening in the lecturers office. The lecturer will just close all the doors Windows and curtain and then on the a.c and do quickie in the office meanwhile his wife and children's picture are on the table where they're fokeen the girl

There was one of the lecturers back then that used to disgust me.anytime I see him I always felt irritated because when he finish fokeen a girl in his office you will see semen stains on his trousers very close to his zip.no woman he cannot toast.if he see mad woman He will toast her

SmellingAnus:
true... Truth is that , what we have more on campuses is sexual harassment by students.... Lecturers are very much sexually harassed... too
