Runs? Why do students believe much on it? {What are] the advantages and disadvantages?
Nigeria is so corrupt that anywhere you turn to you find corruption there.
Take a look at our universities, full of indecent act all in the name of education. Runs, yes "runs" is what it's called in our universities today. Even in primary school, bribery and 'runs' is the talk of the day. You'll find a student with 3 pass in O Level getting addmision in the university. Why? Runs, runs answers it all!
How do we eliminate "runs" in our universities? Your opinion counts a lot.

To eliminate runs in our educational system? Good to put it that way. It is a collective responsibility. The government, students, lecturers/teachers and the students. Govt. should do more and allocate at least 15% of their budget to education. The salary of the workers in educational system should be upgraded and their welfare must be taken care of. Parents must train their children morally and encourage them to be serious in school. And the students have got to behave and work harder. Our educational system has fallen, not what it used to be. Those lecturers disturbing our female students should be shown a way out. Cultism is another problem we have not addressed at all. I will soon post it now so that we can discuss it in this forum.

My sister our govt. knows these all but they won't address these issues.
How many of their children schooling in Nigeria here.
they are there in US, Europe e.t.c
It's the common men that bear the brunt.
Now, they all want to have their own private school when they have castrated the public school.
Babangida, Atiku, Obasanjo e.t.c have their private schools now. Primary, secondary and University.
No poor man can dream of going there why? Where will the school fees come from? It is the school of the rich and for the rich.

Eliminate? I think we should start by reducing it. I 2nd what GP said. It's all our responsibilities to see to it.
1st things 1st, start with yourself. Tell yourself you'll say no to corruption from now on and pass it on to someone else.

the nigerian standard has so greatly reduced that people take things for granted, Look at the economy situation of Akwa ibom state the just impeached ex /former deputy gov of akwa ibom state he got impeached because of his morall act and love for money that is to say that as long as we nigerians continue to be lovers of money things will not work out smoothly for us the saying money talks bullshit works is what we all believe in where as we also know that the rich also cries. if nigerians today could shun pretence and go for the reall thing l think it will serve a great deal because most of us today pretend to be caring when we r not like our govt we make sevral promises that we can not keep.

"Runs" has been in the universities long before we got there. All personal efforts to stop it has proved abortive, what can we do but keep waiting ....

The problems is beyond "runs". runs is any school/college in the world. In a broader sense, to turn around the rot in the educational system, my ideas: 1. Have students assess (anonymously) their lecturers after the end of each semester/course; use this in annual the evaluation of lecturers 2. Have colleges collaborate with private sectors, - on research especially. Research means more money; this trickles down 3. Give colleges more autonomy 4. Colleges should look for extra income/fund, back to research again...sell services to the public 5. Institute autonomous security armed forces to fight cultism 6. Increase funds to colleges etc

MOVING NIGERIA FORWARD.
Nigeria as a nation is a very large country with divers tribes, cultures, tongues and religions. With its constantly exploding population, there is bound to be an increase in job scarcity, high rate of crime and other social vices. With the heavy cross this present government is carrying in striving to make her citizens look well, I strongly believe that when you are doing a night vigil prayer for an unrepentant sinner, your prayer will definitely never cross the root of that room you were doing your vigil talk less of ascending to heaven. In the case of our country Nigeria, it is very important that our beloved leaders should first of all stabilize our economy. Trailing the part of truth. I must let you know that I believe the government have started to work out this part, by first of all privatizing most of the government owned firms/companies calling our foreign bodies/countries and sensitizing them with virtually 0% of tax to come and invest in Nigeria. You can agree with me weather you like it or not that Nigeria is the first country in the whole world to do this. I am yet to hear that Nigeria is trying to or packaging to deport Swiss citizens or Libyan citizens or other foreign nationals. In our government effort to stabilize this, there is a strong need for our government to device ways/means of keeping this growing population of the youths busy. You can agree with me that the appearance of any Nation first of all shows on the faces of its youths. With this, we the members of N.G.O (Lookwell truth organisation)L.T.O are of these opinions: the government should strive and abstain her youth from taking to crime. Create handcraft tutorials that comencies three day from every school calendar holidays, therefore giving them just three days brake form normal class activities for practicals. With this method of learning, you can see that the youths who are usually use to course fracas or some kind of unrest will start having something to do with themselves as most of their handy youths might have gotten themselves used somewhere in one thing or the other. Our teachers from the lowest to the highest level of institutions of learning can also be made to be busy during the holidays by helping out during the handcraft lessons. Where as they can be getting at list half their normal salaries. Our government should also create an agency that will monitor violence in all parts of the country as in the case of (NAFDAC, ICPC, EFCC) etc. with this sort of agency having location in virtually every quarters of the nation, you will see that perpetrators of violence will start struggling to at least look important. Such agency, I suggest, should be called violence control agency (V.C.A.). With the set up of such agency, the youths or individuals thinking of any form of disturbance will really have to think twice and simply be in their toes as in the situation of a hawker sitting a tax force officer. With regards to this issue of handcraft lessons, government should create a system where by a day or two will be set aside during which our youth in each state will have to exhibit his or her product in a fair or school ground. This I believe will create a sample of being alive in the life of the guardians of these youths and also a pride to the child involved. This I believe will create interest that has slowly been drifting away in our educational system. Such exhibition should be organized as schools trade fairs where by each class puts on display what things/product they were able to produce during their handcraft lessons. You can see that with this sort of thing being organized in schools/universities in starting the new term, you can imagine the joy that the youths will be coming into the term he with you will also see that with this sort of programs in the schools of learning. It will be made easier for our kids to chose their field of trade in life and also make geniuses out of them. Also in, moving our country forward, our government will have to create a choice system kind of prison in Nigeria. This kind of prison system will have to be a prison system where a prisoner or a convict have to be allowed to chose the kind of prison type he or she will like to serve. These terms will vary from farming, officer, panel beating, etc. Any public from police to public officers found and convicted, for any kind of offence bribe or commit any kind of offence must be made to serve the government in any of his or her choice trade prison. With this system of fair punishment you will notice that we will have food on our table, serious human beings as citizens value of self and fellow citizens who are saying they have not seen the dividend of democracy. When one or two of their relations are producing food somewhere in one farm land or the other as a prisoner, that will serve as a direct dividend to them I believe any doctor found or caught doing abortion, nurses taking away hospital drugs/child trafficking, once such people have served the Nation in one field or the other, that I believe will be termed the real youth service for every one found guilty of offence. This I believe will help our police like other public servant to have less work, be more purposeful, and have virtually an empty prison yards. The police will not be exempted from youth service as that will also increase their intellectual perception and help them to know that their intelligence is not in their guns. Moreover our government should also make it compulsory that every school from the lowest to the highest have in their time table, computer classes as this will steer our youth s faster and close into the world of technology which is the main in all places now. Government should create a pass that will be helping investors and invention. The look well truth organization (L.TO), will have to be empowered to check mate thurgery/violence in our present day Nigeria etc.
