Good one. The problem with our educational system is that it has made making As and Bs a priority. Students are eager to make them than to actually learn. Even those who tend to learn will end up being branded lecturers and most of them end up der. No real learning in the educational system 1 Like |
Re: Where Are Our First-class Graduates And Professors? by islandmoon: 8:35am On Oct 02, 2017 |
the education system that graduated you as a first class engineering student without you having a set of spanner but only pen and paper is faulty in the first place, the professors of engineering has never fix his car, he still takes them to the people who didnt go to the university , peop le who only learnt how to fix car by the road side near Mama Rasaki food restaurant" popularly called "Mechanic" even department of computer engineering with all its lecturers can not fix a computer, talkless of building one if you gather our ASUU member together, you will discover they are mere politicians and not that knowledgeable! by the way, how many people practice what they studied in school? Nigerian education is useless! never integrated the product into the system 5 Likes |

Government is really trying in term of research but our Professors or Researchers see the research grant as avenue to enrich themselves. Have you ever noticed that immediately they approved money for any research the first thing you will see is vehicle instead of facing the thorough research, they would be using vehicle to impress other up and down and left research undone. Secondly most of our scholars getting money from TETFUND for training are not using it for the purpose, you will see them enjoying money in Nigeria while they suppose to be on training in Abroad.

Ok people have been dishing out write-ups, pls what do u want us students to do...??! ask lecturer a simple question and he just turns the question back at u, make fun of u in class that all he doesn't know the answer to the question yet he claims PHD (I am a doctor now, call me doctor)..lecturers that fail students when they see that the answer the student provided is different from the one they gave them in their note, (and the student took his/her time to research and got a more reasonable answer from the internet). Lecturer will enter class and tell u straight up do not give me answer from the internet, only give me answers that I gave u...(it means LA cram LA pour) our lecturers are bleeped up. Guess who is the minister of education a northerner. I am not hating but these guys hate education, they are only after the money in the educational sector that's all, our educational sector needs someone who knows the pain and trauma of students and who ready (desperately) to fix it.. I dont like this governmen for anything. No government of the past 3 leaders gave a shite about our educational sector.. As for me I don't want to be a graduate with first class written on paper I would practice, research and if my lecturer like he/she should fail me..all I know is according to the past method I have failed but according to the present method I aced it..! There are many knowledge out there.. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Our educated system is so much of theories that are not even suited to our needs. First class graduates want the nicest job to make money and nothing more. They don't have the will to embark on research to come out with innovative ideas that can translate into tangible product. Our professor don't do research to make the society better because they are unwilling or more accurately they are unable. They see success as a destination and not a journey. This is the more reason no Nigeria varsity can rank among top universities in Africa let alone the world. 1 Like |

OP, it is because of what the Nigerian dream is made out to be: go to school, GET A HIGH PAYING, OIL COMPANY JOB (Government jobs or private practice are OK too, as long as they rake in big money), get married, pop out three or four kids, etc. That's the goal of most people going to the university. The first class graduates o, the second class upper, lower, even the third class ones. Its just that the first class graduates are more likely to achieve this 'Nigerian Dream'. The oil companies have swallowed all our first class graduates, so who are we left with to teach the new generation? That's right. Those that 'failed'. By 'failure', I mean the ones that didn't get the juicy jobs and big appointments. I'm going to cough a statistic out of my ass right now but I bet its true- 90% of university lecturers in Nigeria would rather be doing something else with their life, guaranteed that it pays them a lot more than their current job. You go to any university in Nigeria and you see them- junior lecturers, senior lecturers, and professors- most seem to be angry about something. Frustrated. They might not show it openly, but push them a little and you'll see it. In FULL display. They are mad at their jobs, they're pissed off by the work they have to do. Which is why they do their jobs grudgingly, without putting in 200%. They just vomit the same things they 'learned', and sit at home waiting for their paychecks. What does this translate to? Even worse graduates. The quantity of graduates churned out by higher institutions every year keeps increasing but the quality keeps reducing. I am a first class student. In my fourth year now. Not a graduate yet. And you know what? I'll admit it too. I started my educational 'journey' chasing the 'Nigerian Dream' as well. I didn't give a sh*t about Civil Engineering, it was only my backup plan to fall back on if I eventually failed at what I love, which is music. But somewhere, along the line, maybe I was 'awoken' by the poor quality of education (by my standards) I'm receiving in a University that's supposed to be one of the BEST in Nigeria. I had my childhood education in the United States and that laid a strong foundation for me. I know what teaching is supposed to be like. So I've decided. Unless the forces of the universe decide that I really should become a world famous RnB star that'll bring back music from the 90s, I'm going to become a University Professor AND RESEARCHER. Upon graduation I'll move back to the US (hopefully) and specialize in certain fields that I found myself interested in while studying Civil Engineering, and work to get retained as a lecturer for a long time. Understand the system. Learn how things SHOULD BE DONE in a university. Then, I could return to Nigeria. Find a University that values excellence, and 'revolutionize' education over here. This is all big talk. I hope I'll achieve it though. Lecturers get paid VERY well over there so I'm not worried about finances. I'm worried that I'll lose sight of my goal. And I can sing (really good ) So Brian McKnight, Wanya Morris, Mike Bivins, Bruno Mars, idk might just decide to pick me up as an artiste. Let's see what the future holds. But op, mark my words, if that doesn't happen, you WILL see exactly what you're asking for. FROM ME. "If you know the problem and you can't do anything about it, shut the f*ck up." 9 Likes 1 Share |

I once met an elect/elect & physics graduate of yabatech/unilag that cant repair an extension socket,he was a serving corps member then, i just weak for the dude, anytime he dey use sch boast for the dudes around him, i go just smile, i even admonished him to get a place to do practical intern to help his labour hunt, the guy said God will do it, he is into favor market, i just dey look am with one eye, make e come ask me as e dey go. Our mechanical prof/grad are unable to change or know when to change a spark plug, yet they use different vocabulary to qualify *kazeem. Till we change our notion as a nation in respect to political leadership, nothing is going to change. we cant be ruled by idiots and expect sound policy. imagine having ortom, ffk, fayose, bello, and the likes in a fec, what sound policy do you expect. aAlso, professionals should leave their comfort zone to aspire for post or join a party, look at tinubu, peter obi, ambode, kebbi governo,elrufai, minister for aviation(dont know his name), ikpeazu, etc, they are professionals before politics, they joined the game, a fayose will not use thugs to win election and appoint you just because you work for havard or cbn. they should stop reciting text in class, office or media, they should do it in the society, they are afraid of failure when their lack of trying is even worse than failure itself. 2 Likes |
