I will take poor grades over good grades any day. The A students works for the B students. C students run the businesses and D students owns the building. Experience is often better than good grades. All these certificates are only insurance policies that makes you work for others. The higher the grades the worse.

If the Uni professor knows the keys to become a billionaire,he won't bother be in that profession in the firsts place.

Smart!

God bless you for this comment sincerely God bless you. few days ago,my cousin that failed Oau post ume,you need to see how his parents were just panicing and asking me to do something cos its ma alma mater. I just told them to calm down. What i noticed is d lad is under pressure ask me d age,he's just 15. I told them where are you rushing this boy too. Hope say una know say no job o. It crazy the rate parents want to chase their children to the university. That place is no child's place so many under age in the university. Recently,a mother said she will get a lesson teacher for her 3 year old i was livid. Media has a lot do.

Things like this are inevitable when immature minds find their way to the citadel of learning at such tender age

GistLivePro:
Mercy Olamide Afolaranmi, a student of Microbiology at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has committed suicide.
According to the school’s Chief Security Officer, Babatunde Oyatokun, Miss Afolaranmi, poisoned herself. Students and a neighbour close to the deceased also said she killed herself due to poor grade.

“We got a call that one of our students took poison,” Mr. Oyatokun said. “We got to hospital to realise that she mixed rat poison. She gave us the contact of her parents but before they arrived, she already gave up due to the effect of the poison she took.”

A neighbour, Bimpe Oni, in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, said Miss Afolaranmi, who lived off-campus at Sabo area of Ile-Ife, died on Thursday, after she took “rat poison mixed with battery extract.”

Mrs. Oni said the late student committed suicide because of “emotional pressure.” A student, Aisha, who was Miss Afolaranmi’s colleague in the Faculty of Science, said the deceased had ‘E’ in CHM101 (Chemistry for first year students), a reportedly dreaded course for year one students in the science and technology related faculties.

“Mercy often isolated herself in class and looked depressed,” said Aisha. “She told me she had ‘E’ in CHM101 and has been going around unhappy before this incident.” Another student in the *Faculty of Student*, Opeyemi, said “she took poison because of result.”

The school’s Dean of Students’ Affairs, Isiaka Aransi, also confirmed the news. “Although the reason and cause of her death is yet to be known, the division is aware of the death of Mercy,” she said.

Before her death, on October 10, she posted on Facebook that: “Above all other things, I just wanna see God, see what He looks like, speak with Him face to face. I don’t wanna miss heaven. LORD HELP ME.”

what is faculty of student again.. I don't get it.

All of una dey craze. Before una dey criticize, una check her age? Still a little girl. Still very vulnerable to emotional pressure

I don't encourage part 1 freshers to be living outside the school. Their heart might not be mature enough to keep things. If she is staying in the hostel now, at least the roomies wud have console her.

Pat081:
u re mad n son of nobody, if ur so call Kanu who Brainwashed all of u can run away without looking back since all dis month ,u will b talking nonsense,Awolowo hv everything dat ur family can not hv in d next 1ooyrs to come in life dat fool just dead 4 ntin n why can she go 4 another course

i be rat poison?
smh

Me that am in my 300l and I don't know where my result they sef! !!!!
Ah no fit come and kill myself and die OH...
I'd rather use all of una for this 9ja do ritual !!!

donblade85555:
with your statement, I can see that you support wat she did

Supporting her?

You chop kraze ?


Are you to dull to understand that not everyone that read passed

Is it only reading that makes one pass?

Am not in support of comitting suicide though,she should have moved ON

How can OAU admit a 16 year old juvenile? I was about 20 when i got admission yet it was not easy for me until after a while. Blame the school for admitting an under age student.

When I saw rat poison then I remembered Awolowo.
RIP to the dead, maybe she was scared of her strict parents knowing about it.
BTW she's way too young for tertiary institution.

Ambitionsway:



My calculus lecturer go teach you confuse, you no go come even like to attend he class...

lol.. guy I schooled in the North. you know how Hausa people the do their things

I had 6 carryovers in my first year in school, primarily due to financial constraints. I no kill myself. Had 2 more carry overs in 2nd year but I eventually graduated with a second class. Thanks to my good grades in year 3,4 & 5. The worst thoughts that came to my mind then was to pull out and rewrite jamb.. But I never did. Suicide is never an option.
In better climes there are ways to manage depression.

What’s the rush for ? 16yrs old is too young to be in university in my opinion .

I wish we had more counseling centers in this country. What a waste

I can't blame dis girl,but OAU pls find something to do to this thing,because I almost fainted when i saw d grade,this girl even have 'E' but me I have 'F'.pls adjust this thing, it is 4 unit course

if it's really suicide. then she just missed that heaven she wanted to see

Wrong orientation.

And if you are one of those who believe academic failure = failure in life, please change that philosophy.

Oh man! That's an awful thing to do...


Rip to the dead... 1000 ways to die,

Poor grades masssacre

#Death: Poor Grades to Grave

AnthonioAlsaid:
I remember seeing my 1st semester 100l result, after all the talk of first class I was seeing EDEDE on the board , man I was devastated... I trekked round the entire campus that night absence minded but man just had to put it behind him and move on... RIP young lady though death wasn't the way to go

This is very funny

CHM101 be threatening folks from the onset
I also passed it with an 'E'. Was even happy as there was CO everywhere. We just need to be positive and live our lives. All these things are temporal.
Can also remember trying to console somebody back then in school, whose problems I later found out was not even up to half of mine. We just need to train our children on mental strength as the issues of life are enormous.

RIP to her

This is part of d reasons my children will mark atleast 18 b4 entering d uni,honestly its nt good for under age to b in d uni..they are so vulnerable!,dey are easy to b manipulated,dey fear and panick on things like this...rip

DanseMacabre:


Rat poison and battery extract? She wan kill her soul and spirit join


Seriously though, who kills themselves over poor grades. First year grades that can be corrected.

Poor decisions by her.

I remember Chm 101 during my days it's a 4unit course.

Even if u got 4 in it u will be depressed cos it's a foundations for your CGPA.

So sad she has to take her life.

Loads of depressions when results re released in Nigeria Universities,the school management don't even care all they plan is Strike on Salary,what a nation

Poor grades is not thecend of the world she shud hv been encouraged by her parents and those closest to her. Wat a tragedy

Now she has missed heaven

Admitting kids into Nigerian public schools is not too good. Those dreaded lecturers can scare life out of a Lion.

That's so painful and shocking! May the lord Jesus comfort her parents.
