MrAwePresident:bro, please stop all these ranting about OAU nah. if u have any pain about what OAU has caused you, let us know instead of just gallivanting around, defaming OAU and misguiding new comers. I guess this guy must have been really hurted by OAU, but don't think you are already doing your worst ooo. 3 Likes |

Oga Ade,who told u DAT UI doesn't calculate F in students CGPA? You & d person DAT told deserves some lashes of koboko.....all ur assumptions abt UI is false Mr man...which 1 is AB,except dey just introduced it newly cos nothing like DAT while I was a student there.... author=MrAwePresident post=53401855]4a Grading system Because of the importance of this point I will break it down into 3 parts OAU as at first year in the University, especially if you are a tech student will give you 5 unit courses. Most first year students won't understand the importance of the units of a course until it's too late. Most first year students will spend more time preparing for a 1 unit course than they will spend on a 5 unit course because they don't fully understand the concept of units. Once they fail or score low in a 5 unit course there GP will need extra effort to recover. Unlike Unilag that have 3 units as the highest number of units for a first year. 4b. When a student fails a course. The F will be calculated in the GP, Even if they retake the course and score an A. The effect of the A will be like the effect of a C on their CGPA. U. I doesn't calculate F in your GP 4c Nobody has any idea how scripts are marked or even marked at all. You can read and write all the answers you believe are the right answers but low and behold they will provide one with a surprising score and you dear not complain If you score 68,69 it's B. No matter what UI still has something called AB too help you in such scenarios unlike OAU [/quote] 3 Likes |

The OP is right in some cases esp distance one has to trek to and fro lecture theatres. Imagine trekking from Angola/Moz to Health Sciences Lt or Agric or Postgraduate Lt. OAU has this thing with awarding of first class to students which i knw not esp in my dept...English dept. For more than 20yrs now no single first class in that dept.

MrAwePresident: To start with, you have a point regarding the paucity of OAU students in the petroleum industry. OAU does not have a department of Petroleum Engineering. UI does. I think LAG has one too. so those schools have and edge in that field. Regarding the living conditions. you're very right. Hostels are over crowded and toilets stink like hell. the hostels are practically wasting away. What the school management does is 'renopainting' and not renovation. sadly, that is true for most schools I've visited. apart from UI. I think their hostels were renovated recently. I enjoyed the few days I spent with my brother there last year However, you are bang out of order on the other points. education is supposed to be as cheap as possible. especially in a country like ours where the majority of the population can't even afford the basic necessities of life. I paid about 20k in tuition fees throughout my stay in Ife. that's 5k per session for social sciences. I paid about 3k for accommodation at Angola and fajuyi halls. what a wow! that's how its supposed to be. Not everybody can afford to pay Princeton fees in our private universities. for your info, I paid 50 naira to watch olamide perform at amphitheatre in my final year. and it wasn't worth it. he was obviously too drunk or high to perform. Its all about value for money regarding grades. you're just not serious. regarding size of the school. I don't even know what to type. I hereby recommend that the OP be taken to Awo hall and given a full dosage of SMS (scientific maximum shishi) 10 Likes |

Op is just a pained ass dude. I can bet that op was given that advice he couldn't reject (advise to withdraw) or he graduauted with a CGPA that requires a compound microscope, sorry electron microscope, to view. I understand op's frustration probably he wasn't resilient enough. He couldn't survive so he has to be eliminated (theory of natural selection). Yes! OAU students/staff protest to demand for their right and that right things should be done and in most cases lead to strike. Remenber, "the man dies in you if you keep silent in the face of tyranny". Despite the strikes I spent 6 yrs 7 mths for a six-session course which also takes an average of 6yrs 6mths in a 'strikeless' uni like unilorin. Nairalanders should be wary of half-truths and half-lies 3 Likes |

sincerely....... i don't know why the truth hurts all dis oau flies here. op never said it is a bad school, he simply is telling everyone the cons nd you all are saying trash. Even d hyped unilag which am schooling has it's own terrible cons too. imagine someone stating it here nd because am in the system or am alumnus i should say it's a lie that d person stating dem is a dropout. Read your book pray well and you will easily enter any of these over hyped universities. For example we all know lagos state is a Beautiful city but if someone points out d negativity in d state does dah mean d person is from the village and a deportee from lagos? The simple answer is No. The same way too pointing out the issues in oau or any university is not a bad thing but even an eye opener to those seeking admission helping them to weigh which one they can cope with. Besides authorities in charge can see them nd who knows can make needed changes. CHIKENA 9 Likes |

Theres no worldclass university in Nigeria so I don't bother to enter one Nigeria's World-Class Universities By Pius Adesanmi. To our Nigerian kids applying for Masters and Doctoral admission in Oyinbo Universities, an advice: stop opening your letters of intent with this statement: "I graduated from the world-class University of..." I see it all the time in your statements of intent. It's very irritating. You see, the people you are writing to/for here would rather have you stick with the facts. They'd rather not have to deal with your alternative fact claiming the existence of any world-class University in Nigeria. In fact, they know that in the entire African continent, only a handful of Universities in South Africa are qualified to use that epithet, world-class, very cautiously to describe themselves. Graduating from a world-class University is not a precondition for admission anyway. So, why overstate your case? Just do well and try to be exceptional in your University. I did not attend any world-class University in Nigeria because there was/is none. I attended Unilorin for my BA and UI for my MA. Yet I was admitted for a PhD in one of Canada's elite Universities and won some of Canada's most prestigious doctoral scholarships throughout my studies. Keep it real. Make your first class or your second class upper and apply. Don't claim world-class anything. There is none in Nigeria. And if you are interested in having a world-class University in Nigeria, do two things: 1) Study China's plan to have a certain number of world-class universities by 2020 and another set by 2030. You can read up on that ambitious roadmap here: http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20151015211423407 2) Then, stop defending the useless politicians who are blocking vision, stealing all the money, and preventing Nigeria from having world-class Universities. Join us in putting pressure on them to emulate China's ambition in higher education, albeit with a Nigerian slant designed for our own strategic 21st-century purposes. When we try to hold them accountable, you carry placards and abuse us. One called me an idiot the other day because of Saraki. Yet, he has been home for 8 months because he is a student of the "world-class" LAUTECH. The owners of that University may even ask him what course he is doing or what course is doing him. Then the children of these same politicians will go on social media and call you ill-bred children for asking why their fathers have kept you at home. And here's the rub. China is in a scramble to have those world-class Universities by 2030. She is pouring billions into that vision. By 2030, the children of those looting Nigeria today will be aspiring to send their own children to China's world-class Universities... 2 Likes 2 Shares |

MrAwePresident: You seem to be intellectually impaired. A rejectee is someone who has been rejected. You claimed to have gotten admission into the school at your first attempt. It sounds like you opted not to enroll as a student of OAU. If that's the case how can you be an OAU REJECTEE if the school didn't reject you. Me calling you an OAU REJECT is a coined banter phrase. 2 Likes |
