Can someone break this down for me?

Is it that some 100L medical students were refused promotion to 200L medicine based on newly applied criteria and forcefully assigned other courses to read?

waterhouse071:
Everything seems not to be working in Nigeria. is change or shame?

olaolulazio:

Which country are u from and where(country) do u reside now?

I hate it and I don't hate it

I am from Nigeria but I don't live there

Jediel1:
Keep calm and study outside naija

Lyk evry1 can afford it

Dis is a long overdue protest....it happened since last yr nd dey r jst protestin..i for one got anoda course..most of d pple dere r d ones dat dint get any course at all

GenOrumov:
That was a silly action on the part of the students.

Was stuck in that traffic for hours. I had to call a friend to come pick my car while I left it behind so as not to miss a very important appointment.

you Are a fool . we are talking about people's career you are here talking about traffic. learn to sympathize at least

FrancisTony:
-MBBS cutoff mark was placed at 4.11CGPA and people that made it crossed to idi Araba

-Unilag changed there course for them and the lists is at the general office.

A friend who is number 61 with 4.08 and two other guys was transferred to Dentistry...

Unilag can't move everyone to CMUL to avoid loosing accreditation, so they should stop whining when a chic from Botany had 4.80CGPA.

bro whether a chic from botany or education got 5.0 its non of their business, agreement is agreement, which is no carry over in any course and not less than specific gp. unilags mistake was that they admitted excess med students and they never ever tot the students will really pass the cut off. it happened in lautech some years back, and lasu where d cut off was changed without prior notice. this is pure injustice
pls reason with me

Abeg.. Let's tell ourselves the truth, no be everybody wey dey science class suppose become doctor or study medicine..

BT I must admit DT ineffective communication is wat resulted into dis

ayokanmi3:
Is unilag the only affected chool?

I think its a thing if mis-information on the part of the school authority.. Why wasnt there enough pre-information to the student earlier on... The students have legitimate reasons to protest

I swear, you make sense. They could have deferred them by one year instead or given them that option at least. I had a friend who got admission into ui to study law, she was underaged but ui deferred her admission till the next year instead of her having to write jamb and all again. Unilag will never do that. Thank God I'm graduating from that rubbish school next month.

BIGTinfotech:
I used to think Medical students were the most serious and responsible set of students in any University setting.


Until I learnt that some were 'successful' Yahoo boys.

C'mon bro/sixt! u can just judge a book by its outlook alone! Y not try 2 go into details 4urself b4 concluding. do u have any idea what could hav lead to the possible frustration of those students. In all humility , pls read d post once more and modify ur comment. thanks

You must be daft and silly to not know how to carry out an effective protest in Nigeria.

It baffles me how you Nigerians just think you can block everything and make the world stop for you.

In that traffic were kids, parents, workers who after a hard day at work were denied their rights to free movement.

Representatives should have been chosen to meet with the VC. From experience, you cannot arm twist the school with protests on admission issues unlike if it were a hike in school fees.

Until you are old enough to see my point, don't quote me.

2009/2010 diploma session cut off- Medicine- 3.5 pharmacy-2.5









How times have changed

Aregs:
So this is what it feels like to be FTC, I dedicate this achievement to all my Brothers across the Nation, to all the students of MAPOLY and everyone in Ogun State and to my personal person Kelswils... Naija go better one day and we'll look back and have reasons to smile... Back to the topic, I didn't even read it, United we Stand, divided we fall, make all my Baifran brothers calm down, all of us we gather dey

Awumen oooo!!!

The VC needs to be removed

If only the aggrieved students understand that their actions have led to innocent persons held hostage in traffic and right of freedom infringed upon.
Their action is similar to that of the oppressive school management who changed the rule at the middle of the game.
The way to go would be to engage a sound lawyer rather than this ineffective jungle protest.

You are just too intelligent for the quoted comment above unlike a silly boy that quoted me earlier.

Nigerians just think with protests they will have their way but experience has shown that protests aren't effective in all cases.

There was a particular girl wearing white glasses that was screaming herself hoarse and was so unruly to the point of hitting a guy's car. A lecturer came to the gate and marked her face. Now if punishment is meted out on her, people will say the school is insensitive right?

I can bet that by this time next month, the protesting students will either be in their respective new courses (botany, fisheries etc.) or have left unilag for other schools whichever they are comfortable with.

all these protest sef..when mouau go do dem own?? all these protest sef..when mouau go do dem own??

I've been I this situation before so I feel their pain. the year I entered med sch people with CGPA as high as 4.6 din't make it to college we had to forfeit a year and we're transited the following year after series of protest and using influential people in government that was the best deal we got. cuz our GPs were damn too high they just had to reach some form of compromise.

Happened in ABU and Unilorin some few years back. After this year, the university will admit fewer students into those programmes. It's a sad thing.

This is what happens when everybody wants to go to University and become a doctor. Those of us graduates have the Jobs we want abi... A lot of radical change is needed in the educational sector, really.

To all those Unilag medical students who were not allowed to proceed to the College....alittle story.

Back in the 1930's....a certain American student wanted to read medicine after graduating from college.He studied hard,and did well...yet he did not make the requirements to go to medical school.

He was upset....but that door closing led to God opening up another door....which led him to becoming a publisher(Tyndale House Publishers) and also the developer of the Living Bible (the English translation of the bible....now known as the New living translation).

If God could do it for Dr Kenneth Taylor(1917-2005).....he could do it for you too.

Yabatech protest never saw front page of NL. Here is d story once again!


. YabaTech: “How Charity Dazan died”
– friends narrate tragic story
— 11 FEB, 2016
SHARE
Oluwabukola Charity Dazan died aged 27. This
picture was taken by one of her friends on Tuesday
February 2, 2016 during her departmental
“traditional day.”
You must have heard lots of stories about how
YabaTech’s Oluwabukola Charity Dazan of the
Department of Office Technology and
Management (OTM) died on Wednesday.
NewsroomNG had lengthy chats with student
friends who were with her in her last moments.
We also spoke with, and were with, many of the
students as they protested after Dazan’s tragic
passing. We’ve promised to not name our
sources.
Here’s their side of the story.
“This is due to absolute neglect on the part of
YabaTech authorities and Nigerian medical
workers outside the walls of this school,” one of
them said.
Oluwabukola Charity Dazan, 27, finished writing a
practical examination (Advanced Web Page
Design) around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday when she
suddenly fell ill.
She went to the medical center to be attended
to when the thing got worse.
“They simply gave her paracetamol or something
and refused to let her into the sick ward where
there are beds she could sleep in,” the student
said.
“Dazan was not allowed past the clinic’s lobby. I
wasn’t surprised. That’s how they do here. They
are pathetic.
A noisy crowd of students gathers at YabaTech
Theatre Hall to listen to the school Rector Mrs.
Margaret Kudi Ladipo. We couldn’t make anything
of her speech. A student called it “medicine after
death.” Another tagged it “balderdash.”
“I’m very tired,” Dazan was complaining so her
friends decided to take her to the hostel (Akata
Hall) where she could rest on a “manageable”
bed. This was around 7:00 p.m on Tuesday.
“One hour later, she was complaining of having
pains in both hands so we rushed her back to
the medical center,” another student told
NewsroomNG.
“They just checked her and gave her some drugs
again. But did not admit her into the sick ward.
She was again restricted to the lobby. They said
there were no available beds inside the sick
ward.
“Around 10:00 p.m, the school medics discharged
her again but this time she could neither stand
nor walk. That was the time they could have
admitted her or referred her elsewhere but they
didn’t. They bundled her into their bus
(ambulance) and drove her to her hostel. It was
there some friends bathed her.
“Around 11:00 p.m., she started complaining
again…this time bitterly,” another student said.
“So we returned her to the medical center. The
medics, this time, referred her to the Federal
Medical Center (FMC) in Ebute-Metta.
“They drove her there in their bus with a letter
from the chief doctor at Yabatech medical
center.
Angry YabaTech students wrecked the medical
center, and this bus…and filmed themselves in the
act.
“FMC officials told us they won’t attend to
Dazan until N35,000 admission fee and some
other registration fee are paid. Everything
totalled approximately N43,000.
“We pleaded with FMC to begin treating Dazan
as we would go out in search of the money. But
FMC refused and told us to take Dazan’s weak
body along on our fundraising hustle. I was
particularly shocked by their statement and body
language. They didn’t act like they had children
or were human for that matter.
“So we drove Dazan back to YabaTech to raise
the money. The chief doctor at YabaTech gave
us N10,000. Dazan’s fellowship (YabaTech
Celestial Fellowship) raised N25,000. Dazan’s
roommates raised N3,000.
“With N38,000 raised, we drove Dazan back to
FMC. A nurse from our medical center was with
us.
“On returning to FMC, we were instructed to
follow due process in paying the fees. FMC said
treatment would not commence until we
presented the receipts.
“At this point, Dazan started saying albeit faintly
‘I’m dying, please help me. I’m dying. I’m dying.
Help me’.”
“‘Shut up and keep quite my friend’, a doctor shut
her down.
“We split ourselves into two groups. Some went
to pay the admission fee. The other group went
to pay for drip and blood. Our nurse was with
FMC staff and Dazan.
Dazan was the only jewel her parents had. Her dad
suffered stroke two years ago and her mom is
reportedly ill.
“Before we returned, FMC had taken Dazan into
the ward and ran some tests on her. That’s what
they told us when we returned to present the
receipts. It was around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday
now. We were told the test result was
‘paperwhite’.
“They said they couldn’t locate Dazan’s veins. So
there was no way they could pass any water or
blood into her bloodstream. In fact, they said she
had no single drop of blood left in her body. We
were wondering what this could mean.
“When the medics at FMC returned to Dazan’s
bed, they found her dead. That’s how this evil
system took our friend away. Just like that. They
said only the N600 money for card would be
refunded. The rest wasn’t refundable.
“FMC also refused to issue Dazan’s death
certificate because she didn’t stay up to 24
hours at the facility,” another student said.
“Dazan’s dead body was driven back to
YabaTech medical center some minutes after
2:00 a.m.
“However, YabaTech medics left her corpse in
the bus and failed to wash or dress her. She had
defecated on herself in her last moments. They
left her there, in her mess, till daybreak.
“It was around 8:00 a.m. when one of us who
didn’t follow us to FMC went looking for Dazan.
She thought her classmate was still alive.”
We spoke with that particular classmate and
here’s what she told us:
Arrest us if you can: YabaTech students wait
behind after authorities caught them vandalising
medical facility.
I didn’t know she had died. I went to the
medical center and searched the sick ward
but couldn’t find Dazan on any of the beds.
I didn’t know what to think. The medical
center’s bus was parked inside the
premises. On my way out, I noticed there
were flies in and around the ambulance.
There were lots of flies. That was when it
hit me. I moved closer to the bus and took
a look. Dazan was there, dead. She was
smelling. She was swollen. The nurses
didn’t take care of the body. When the
security officers knew what I had
discovered, they rushed towards me and
dragged me away. I was shocked.
Dazan (January 9, 1989 – February 10, 2016)
was the only child her parent had left, we were
told. Her parents live in Oko Afon, Badagry in
Lagos State. They are originally from Cotonou in
Benin Republic.
Dazan was immediate past sisters coordinator of
her campus fellowship.
Since Dazan’s father suffered stroke two years
ago, she’s had to fend for herself. Her mother is
also not feeling well, NewsroomNG gathered.
Dazan: Rest In Peace. Charity’s bi-lingual
classmates say this simple tribute will rest on the
lecture hall’s door for a long time.
“She struggled for the past two years to pay her
school fees and get ends meet…on her own,” one
of her close friends told NewsroomNG.
“Dazan is just two weeks from graduating from
this school and this tragedy took her from us.
“This is sad,” the friend said.
Dazan was, on Wednesday, buried at Atan
Cemetery near the University of Lagos. Her burial
was well attended by YabaTech students many
of whom barricaded University Road.
NewsroomNG gathered that armed police officers
and soldiers were on ground to maintain law and
order during the burial.
We’re not sure Dazan’s sick parents made it to
the burial. But an uncle was around, we heard. It
was the uncle who insisted her body be cleaned
up. YabaTech nurses had attempted wrapping
her up in her mess, with the clothe she was
wearing still on her body.
While Dazan was being buried, angry students
locked down the school and staged
demonstrations at YabaTech’s back gate, main
gate, administrative block and the medical
center.
They later vandalised the medical center and set
fire to it. But officials put out the fire on time.
The students said the medical center should be
tagged “YabaTech Paracetamol Medical Center.”
“Whatever you say is wrong with you, all they do
is give you paracetamol,” an angry student told
NewsroomNG.
“Yet we pay over N3,000 for medicals every
session…45,000 of us. Do the math. Yet, this
thing they call medical center is nothing but a
mess. It’s totally useless.”
“All they do is take the money while students
suffer and die like nobodies,” the student said.
Students later barricaded the road outside the
school’s back gate with bonfires from car tires.
As at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, vehicles were
being turned back.
Below is the vision statement of YabaTech
Medical Center.

Henceforth, the school should admit fewer students in accordance with the MDCN quota. It is very difficult to get admission to study medicine these days.

The system in my school is different. Once you have no carry over, you are automatically promoted to year 2. I can feel the pain of those affected because many waited for so many years before getting the course and most unfortunately, UTME has closed.

The management should find a way to help the guys. Even, if they have to reduce their next intake and make some of them spill over to the next session.

They should have started from the new session and not this set

The nigerian education system is designed to alter and revert the destiny of a potential. Those who formulate these quota nonsense are just as useless as the system itself.

hmmm.... this is a big shame. They are using their own stupid and irrational policy to shartter someone else dream......... BABA GOD OOOO.... PICK UP D CALL

If you're a Male student of Unilag with accommodation around unilag and wishes to share with someone and share the rent pls contact me on 09054729256 thanks

Its really weird anyway but why did the school admit more than what can be managed in the first place?

I guess they don't have too many facilities to manage excess M.B.B.S guys when absorbed, so they had to adopt a strategy to reduce them and their accreditation might be on the line.

So sorry for those poor already aspiring student in M.B.B.S, that decision as been taken and I doubt if reversal will surface!!

protest every where

Chartey:


Happened in ABU and Unilorin some few years back. After this year, the university will admit fewer students into those programmes. It's a sad thing.

and that doesn't stop the sch from admitting DE Students, even when the pre-med students are still left unsatisfied
