What of those that failed a course in Post graduate, they wrote it and passed excellently, my children no fit kill themselves, if you fail, fail honourably, go back, write the course and pass it, I love my children, I am their number 1 support system and best friend, even when they fail, they are not scared, they must tell mummy, and my job is to boost their self esteem, this is terrible

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.
My sister, the thing is really getting out of hand... some parents in their haste to intimidate others they put unneccessary preasure on their kids. I heard one the other day talking of making her son wrote Common Entrance in primary 4, at age 7 for christ Sake,,,,

Eyaaah, what a sad way to die. Why kill yourself when you can work harder next time and get better grades in other courses.

I equally got E in my first semester CHM 101.1 and D in my second semester CHM103.2. Meanwhile, these courses carried 4units credit load, the highest in my universities days in Engineering save for project. To be candid, those courses are not beans oooo.

My grades really got me devastated but did not allow that to deter me. Meanwhile, some people failed that course till their 3rd yr before they were able to pass with an E grade. You can imagine what that can do to your over CGPA.

@16, she's still a child and has nothing to do with tertiary institution in advanced Nations. Why won't she commit suicide when a child is given what she's not mentally prepared for?.

Poor girl, I got an F in CHM 101 during my time, in fact it was the third time that I passed it despite it was a 5unit course. Here I am today, to hell with devilish Chemistry and White house as a whole.

Failing my first year make me think deeply and turned things around.

For how long will our students realized that "examinations doesn't tests students intelligent"? How I wished she was in my Psychology lecture's, I would have given her a helping hand, but now, its ten late.

I tire sef,why would a course be branded most dreaded course , rubbish ,all this riff raff lecturers and their stupid behaviour , that's how one yeye lecturer boasted during my days in the University , he claimed that 90% of students in the Dept must come back for extension , that's how it has always been , we organised a tutorial for his course (inferential statistics ) we taught ourselves , and almost every one passed .I even got an A.
we realised the course wasnt even the problem but the lecturer 's attitude was .
I know someone who had four f in Nigeria ist semester went abroad and got a ist class

this is Nigeria not america, its a big deal here given the way our education system is designed. pre nursery alone i think its 3 years, primary 1 to 6 is another 6 years and secondary school is supposed to be another 6 years. the maths says 15 years of education b4 you enter d university. most people here start school when they are two years old so you see 2 plus 15 is 17 which is about right for the average ages i have seen personally.

I am saddened about this tragedy.

Way forward.
1. Don't send emotionally immature kids to the university, if you have to, let them go from home or attach them to a guardian.

2 Our university system has failed. That is why students live off campus, a year one Pupil ' for that matter. Authorities should do d needful and build more hostel.
Again most students were helped to pass Jamb and Waec, hence when they gain admission it becomes difficult to cope.

3. Parents. Be strict but don't be dreaded by your children. Teach them the right thing but don't make them fear � you. Dear parents, let us stop destroying our kids by aiding their results through malpractices. Why not enrol them for remedial studies instead of passing utme and weac at all costs?

4. Society. Let us stop putting pressure on people because they didn't turn up as we expected. Every body is got a different talent and school or good grades is not a guarantee of success. Examples are Bill Gate, Mark of facebook and even our own Dangote. Let me add that some of our governors are carpenters. D. Some people even claimed our own only bubu has only a 'nepa bill '
not a fan of mediocrity, but what lies in us is much more than a degree certificate.

5. Friends and colleagues. If you noticed a friend or colleague who behaves strangly, move closer and a little word could save a soul. A word of encouragement could heal that bleeding heart ♥.

I could recall a guy in our first year in school. He was admitted to study Chemical Engineering. The guy seems very studious, but at the end he was on d brink of being withdrawn with a cgpa of less than 1. He confided in me and I advised him to write another JAMB and I gave him my Chemistry textbook (Aba bio) I don't know where he is now.

Finally, little angel, find rest with the lord.
May God give your parents and family and friends plus the OAU family d fortitude to bear your demise.

My fingers ache. I rest my case. Adieu dearie!
is bil and Mark slowpoke dis guys are highly gifted..
Dangote go skool ok....our educational shd be functional such dst with secondary skool u can stand well even if u don't further to university

Calm your balls, bro.

13yrs ago when I left secondary school, my dad thought it was a bad idea. A 14yr old 'abroad' already has got some taste of freedom...what do you think I'd have done as a 14yr old, living alone, unprecedented freedom, in another city?

By the way, my baby brother is 20, done with his bachelors program and hopefully would start his Masters program next year. It wasn't my dad's call this time, it was mine and even so, my dad still insisted the only way he would let him go off at such a young age...it must be a private institution.

You can do whatever you want with your kids. Let others do same and mind your bloody business.
