The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Obi has stated that the institution has put in place several mechanisms to help hardworking students excel in their academics.

Prof. Obi stated this while addressing freshmen admitted for the 2021/2022 Academic session at the occasion of the Freshmen Orientation Ceremony held at the Institution’s International Conference Center.

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Obi has stated that the institution has put in place several mechanisms to help hardworking students excel in their academics.
Prof. Obi stated this while addressing freshmen admitted for the 2021/2022 Academic session at the occasion of the Freshmen Orientation Ceremony held at the Institution’s International Conference Center.

“You have the right to say no to sexual advancement and molestation, I am a mother and we as parents did not send our children to be feasted upon by old men, but to be protected.
We have centres you can report to, like the Centre for Gender Studies, Guidance and Counselling, as well as, some Youth Friendly Hubs.”

The University Administrator urged the students to be humble, well-dressed, polite and respectful to the staff of the University, this is even as she prayed for God’s guidance.

Also speaking, the Registrar, Mr Gabriel O. Egbe who spoke on “University Policies, Rules and Students Discipline”, said it is a tradition for the university to bring together freshmen to expose them to the basic policies, rules and regulations of the University, as well as, other range of services and privileges available to them as significant members of the University Community.

Mr Egbe said policies, rules and regulations are made to achieve certain ends intended to benefit all, this is even as he said the university is a corporate entity comprising the student, staff and Management.

He also urged the staff to play by the rules and regulations of the University which are geared towards actualising the mission and vision of the University, adding that, the University can be comparable to any other within and outside the country.

The Registrar further admonished the freshmen to imbibe the culture of self-discipline to win that “prestigious prize” which is the certificate, adding that, they should not relent in their determination to excel.

Earlier, the Dean, of Student Affairs, Dr Anthony Eyang while welcoming the freshmen to the institution, tasked them to hearken to the already laid down foundation for the task ahead. Dr Eyang assured the students that the institution is blessed with a dynamic Vice Chancellor that has put all that is needed in place to make them excel in their academic performance urging them to maximise the opportunity given to become better alumni/ambassadors of their alma mater and our dear country.

Gibberish!

No wonder the university keeps churning out unhealthy half baked illiterates.

Shouldn’t breakfast, lunch and dinner be provided for students if things were done per standard.

And here we have a VC saying hunger and skipping meals is a prerequisite for excellence!

This is pure fallacy resulting from poverty mentality.

Surely if an experiment were to be carried out between students who eat 3 square meals & those who don't, the former will perform far better academically.

Not if one intends to invest in oneself at least, or presumes one can eat with one's eyes and mind.

Serious students are likely to eat two meals and spend the third on a book they eat with their eyes and mind.

Only the wilful ignorant feed their belly alone. Those who will live feed their minds.

Many nigerians believe HARDWORK means SUFFERING. No, it is not. Most Africans just love to show why their thinking is like that of Apes.

That is because you learnt it the hard way, learning in a school doesn't need all these suffering na. Africans believe going to school or uni means going there to read all day, practicality is what education is and not reading every now and then.

Acc to the VC, "No serious student will eat Three square neals" this shows the VC means reading every now and then makes a student the serious one, which is not so.

I was looking for her exact qoutes to be sure but found nothing.

But I won't be shocked she said that. She belongs to the era that transmit the idea that great suffering must precede reward. People who will never score you an A because you are not good enough. She's not alone.

Some students also fall for this shit. Instead of planning other aspects of their life they spend the entire day reading (cramming) like robots. Twelve hours reading, overnight reading, and other bullshit yet they go to the exam hall and copy themselves and their notes.

It is not by starvation or suffering. In fact it would be foolish for anyone to listen to her. Advice like this one is the reason students fail to develop their EQ, SQ and AQ. There are more important things in life not written in the books you are reading.

3 square meals is standard.
Except people choose to skip meals for health or other reasons I see nothing wrong with a student eating well for optimal brain performance
