After the parents have finished spoiling their own children, they turn around and blame the teachers.

The VC is high, so what does he expect the parent to do

It's a pity

HigherEd:
Although the part about closing hostel during class time doesn't make sense to me either. So many students won't have classes at the same time na.

Go to the library and read.
A little allowance will bare more harm

Wow!
Dat reminds me of my primary school
'Ajayi Crowther Primary School Sapele'.

Nice one

It's high time the freedom in universities both public and private be curtailed.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Very low quality of discourse, certainly this letter is not at the level expected of a Vice Chancellor. It is emotional and abusive. Can you imagine the president of Harvard or Oxford writing this ?

My dear THIS IS NIGERIA.. He has to write and has written in the language we all understand. Yes he has made his points and they are very fair and reasonable to any and everyone that means well

Does he know where his salary comes from? The pockets of these parents he's blasting

GBOKASINCHA:
Private school university students are so wayward and stupid....
The way dey abuse drugs is second to none...especially students from bowen.....and igbinedion ...igbinedion their own case is too bad both girls and boys are drug addicts

Boss... Weed smoking among Igbinedion university boys no be here o. I schooled there briefly and transferred away before they finished me. It is hard for hardworking and morally upright student to survive at Igbinedion university.

"This is Nigeria". The perpetual excuse for low standards.

Ajayi crowther..

Meet one dude there at NYSC camp , dude was always high as a kite..

The VC should stop wailing please...

They admitted the dregs of the educational system, they should therefore not complain..

Let them raise the cut off for their courses to 250 and see how the serious the next crop of students will be..

well said... Most of their male students are drug addicts

This is unprofessional on the part of the vc,the letter is informal and bias,guess the parents really pissed him off and it made him emotional.

vc said one male student was caught doing it with two female students in a lecture hall.

It was for the best. Many of these students are wayward

He knows and is afraid to really confront them except by writing public letters. If he truly wanted change, he would order the failure and dismissal of academic laggards and miscreants and reduce the size student population by a third. Do that for there yesterday in a row and see how things will change.

HigherEd:
No wonder! I have always wondered why Ajayi Crowther produces the highest number of third class graduates in Nigeria. They produce more third class in that school than most state universities - very strange for a private university!
One year 60%. Of the graduating set was third class I just wanted to cry grin
Things only got better of recent..

I love Prof Asaju. No time for rubbish

BRO, I served in that school and I can tell you most of their ladies are sex objects! Both male and female have a rented apartment in town just for sexual escapades! They leave the school on weekends to those apartments with their partners in crime. In fact when you see their girls as a guy, you will surely feel a strong thing down there! Always in every joints and hotels in OYO town. That school doesn't represent a Christian school but thank God for this new VC. Even without a pass in Olevel, AcU will give you admission And above all, as a lecturer, you can f**k as many as you want. In fact my oga then impregnated one And eventually marry her when she refused to abort just to save his job.

Good... I understand.... I finished from Igbinedion and I understand perfectly

dingbang:
All these private universities sef..

As if you non attend one?

Wish them as they wished themselves tufikia

I bet the students are lodging in hotels around that secondary school.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Very low quality of discourse. Certainly this letter is not at the level or standard expected of a Vice Chancellor. It is emotional condescending and abusive. The VC vents his frustrations instead of providing solutions. After all he was appointed to lead the university.
Can you imagine the president of Harvard or Oxford writing this ?

Have you thought whether the vc wanted to implement strict rules but was halted by the church?. Ajayi Crowther university is religious university owned by the church of Nigeria ( Anglican communion)

I did, so what's your point?

I align with him 100%,though the grammatical soundness of his letter is suspect and unbecoming of his status as the head of a citadel of learning.

He literally penned a rant fuelled by an enraged emotional state. This is too watery and pedestrian for a VC.

HigherEd:

There is more academic integrity in the average private university than the average state uni.

Now there is more academic integrity in all faith based universities than all federal and state universities in Nigeria. Schools like Bowen, Covenant, Al hikmah, etc

Academic integrity goes in the following ways
1) Never Inflate grades of students
2) Never Deflate grades of students
3) Never receive sex or money for awarding marks

And when you go down to it public schools are the biggest offenders...

You must be a very bright and intellectually sound while you were in school.

I've followed you, reciprocate the gesture

Imarnuel10:

Does that warrant the students to misbehave? If he churns out students not worthy of sound character and learning, who would they held responsible?. Should any misfortune happens whose university would be painted black? The school has integrity to keep hence drastic measures must be put in place

dingbang:

Then why are you wailing

Are you a first class graduate? Or you worked your posting to ACU?

He intentionally used expressions everyone would understand.

It doesn't warrant misbehaviour. However he is the VC and the buck stops at his table. He should have a plan with his advisory team to tackle these issues. What is this open letter supposed to achieve?

Loool, prof Asaju has always been strict and one that has high moral standard from his days at Lasu till he became the chaplain.

Both the parents and students must have really pissed him off for him to write this.

The students and parents are in for a very long ride if they think he would reduce the standard. At worst he would resign.

Lots of indiscplined children everywhere nowadays.

How will a student be taking indian hemp in a private school for that matter.

At least you should not be found wanting in 'learning and character' as a graduate. These ones have stoned prof asaju with pure water before.
