It is only in Nigeria that it will be a looooong thing to re-aasign the students to a new Project supervisor. They will practically have to beg the school for this to happen.

adioolayi:
So sad..

If the said students are undergraduate....it may not matter much as they will be distributed for new supervisors just to allow my people go..

If they are postgraduate students...This will be a huge blow to their study, because, even, if they assign them new supervisors or the already existing co-supervisor takes over....the new supervisors can redesign the research or outrightly ask them to start entirely new research, especially if what they are doing is not the new supervisor areas of interest.

Nigeria don happen to them!

I sure am glad I'm done with Nigerian schooling. Time wasters.

We keep voting the same set of repackaged criminals that have brought this country to the sorry state or currently is in. See as their followers are making noise on the internet, yet your young ones are at home idling away (some are Nairaland constituting nuisance) because your government has abandoned you. The biggest problem of Nigeria is Nigerians

what the way out?

We all have to find a way to save our morality. To return to love for one another. It starts with the family. Teaching our children love instead of racism, hate and suspicion of each other. Parents should lead with example. Stop teaching children that "anything goes". We need to shun the love of money above morality. We must start from scratch.

Okay, Ishi. Do you have a better candidate in mind that you think will lead this country well? I don't get this part... other than Atiku, Obi and Tinubu, who do you think is competent, because you said *we* should like, insinuating that we are still somehow sleeping abi? Like we still don't know right? Like the majority of people still don't know better or know well? And it seems like you're well learned and knowledgeable about everything, as you have chosen to maintain a neutrality above all of the decision and pitching of tents with a camp other people are doing, so how should we vote wisely or who should we vocal electorate vote for? 'Cause that sound condescending as heck to me, and note I am not speaking because of my support of any candidate here. If you can address me without putting that into consideration, I'll appreciate it. I mean, you think Obidients still should vote wisely. Okay. You also think BATIKUs too should vote wisely, so I am just wondering if you think NONE of the supporters have a credible candidate, who is your choice? How much more wise(r) can we get? Does the right candidate exist outside of those three? But then you believe all politicians are corrupt and are the same, so like, like what should we do? How do you think we can get things right if all options are rotten? Because I sure know criticising and criticising and criticising without an equivalent provision of a viable solution instead too will not get anything done.

And maybe I read too much in this part, but you said, "you people should better vote wisely." You nko? Why did you single yourself out? No, it is your choice to exercise your right or not, but you cannot choose to overtly and expressly shun political participation, while knowing that the growth, development, etc., of the country rests on the electorate and you're telling us (OBATIKUs) to go and choose well.

Reading criticisms from people who condemn active participation as much as political apathy is just... do you believe in the country or not? Do you think Nigeria can be better or not? People will either vote or not vote, and the choice will affect everyone. So you criticise the government, and then the people who will take part in changing the government, you're criticising them too. So I really mean no offense and I sincerely hope you won't take this this wrong way: what should we do? If you have the power and all, what would you do? Differently? If you are not in favour of any candidate, then that means you wouldn't vote? Then if you wouldn't vote (and will not campaign, etc) that is one power I know you have as a citizen that you're giving up. And again, I get if you want to choose to give that up, but my point is, why will you willingly give that power up and still expect others to do something right?

I think I have seen you say something like "This is Nigeria." If "this is Nigeria", then why do you still somehow think our votes may count? If you think this is Nigeria, or anyone else who thinks so should not still act like voting means anything. If you don't hold this opinion, it's fine. Let others read and see.

And you're not the only one, I see so many people, even one of my beloved musical icon criticise the state of affairs in Nigeria and how the "rest of the people" are dumb and sheeple and XYZ who don't know right and only participate in political dramas every four years and it makes me wild, yunno? Okay, what would you do differently? What would you do better? Are you participating in politics? If there are other ways of turning a country around for good, are you, as a non-partisan, exploring it? If you think that with the current political atmosphere in the country, Nigerians are still sleeping, what are the conditions to be met then that will make you see that people are awake? Shey as far as you are concerned, we are still sleeping as much as we were sleeping 5-10 to 16 years ago? So outside of our political culture as it is, what other alternatives do you think are there?

At least, I know some people who have not openly declared their support for a candidate, and they are still maintaining that mum decision ever since...they do not dabble into 5% of politics, but I have seen you a number of times express your disapproval for our political culture. Criticising EVERYONE. You just cannot criticise the populace voting choices, criticising the unproductivity of an apathetic populace and still wave a "I am not involving myself in anything political" flag over your head. Doesn't look to me like that should be done anywhere.

The ASUU strike which has crippled academic activities in government owned universities in the country for 200 days and counting is leading to a massive brain drain in the education sector. Apart from frustrating lecturers to the point of some of them willing to give out one their most prized possessions: their books, like this UNIMAID don here- https://www.nairaland.com/7235435/ASUU-strike-dr-abubakar-othman

Others have simply chosen to abandon Nigeria, the selfish and uncaring government, and her teeming mass of hapless students to their own devices. Recall that some days ago, the UNILAG’s ASUU chapter chairman, Dele Ashiru raised an alarm that 70% of their academic workforce retained through mentorship had resigned and relocated abroad. This resignations are not limited to UNILAG alone but other universities are also witnessing an exodus of their lecturers who have abandoned their professions as a way of coping with the months old strike. https://www.nairaland.com/7308352/unilag-leads-mass-resignation-lecturers

Muneer Yaqub, a PHd student in the diaspora and Tweeter shared a screenshot of a project supervisor announcing to his students that he has 'japa-ed'. To each his own, may God save all y'all.

Projects in the mud. What kind of country thrives with this kind of brain drain? They don't care about the hoi polloi, so you BATs and ObiDients better wake up and choose wisely for the sake of the upcoming generation.

See genuine time wasting he should have told them his plans while getting the visa

So that they can pull him down and deny him visa

Kasssandra:
At the end of the day, the solution is simple...allow universites to raise fees so that they can find money to fund themselves...because unless government taxes everyone, including your local hawker, groundnut seller, herdsman, and farmer...they cannot find enough money for ASUU and universites.

We have been on this matter since 2009. If in 2013, which GEJ supporters like to tell us, times were better, and our economy was top ten...and GEJ told ASUU then that he could not give them their money, and offered partial payment, what do you expect now?

Yes, I am arguing for putting more burdens on the poor. The problem is, universites are so underfunded that if we are not careful...in ten years, only the graduates of foreign universites, and private universites would be eligible for jobs. The public unis would not be...and it would be the poor that suffer am.

Yes, I went to school with LOW fees. And because of that, I had to buy my own mattress, my own books...because university did not have money to buy new books for the library, lived in very awful accomodation in the hostels because university could not maintain hostel on accomodation fees so low it was a joke., and had bad facilities.

Yes, your leaders went to school for free (not necessarily true)...but back then, the number of universitiy students was manageable. (At one point we had six of them with populations less than 4000 students). The number is much higher, and more difficult.

Either we raise fees, or we raise taxes, or we leave the universities as they are, and you stop complaining about how bad they are. The bad universities we have is what we can afford.

(And even if we use the loot...can you tell me what happens when the loot money recovered runs out? ).
