I've been following this story for sometime. All I can deduct from this, is that the op is just advertising jesus. The story is a complete fable, make up, not real, fabricated. U don't have to go to this extent before people will believe in your preaching. Fear cannot draw people to salvation. pls stop this. I'm not disputing ure being haunted but ure embellishing and exaggerating the whole thing. Merry christmas to all. |
Where is d op sef? .............you too much! |
Redlyn: The purpose of creation was because:Are u really serious or just joking. U assume that GOD is really bored and looking for friendship , to show his ego, and exercise his power. This earth is a testing ground. Nawa oooo |
lanrexlan: The reason for your existence is worship.Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah Ad-Dhariyat 51:56 -And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).Now,this is the purpose of your creationWhy is GOD thirsty and hungry of human worship. If human did not worship him will he cease to exist, will he become powerless, will he be less omnipotent. Before creation of Adam has he not being existing. |
@olachi.Quaran support the bible on the story of creation. The only contradiction is that the bible says Adam was created on earth, in the Garden of Eden(genesis 2: , while quaran says Adam was created in paradise '' janna'', not on earth and he and his wife were later banished to earth quaran 2:36. Jew bible which is old testament also support creation. Budhist writtings on creation does not exist. Buddhism emphasizes practices over beliefs . Buddhism faith centers on correct understanding of human nature (enlightement). |
emotional: 'Too many man made ideologies. Religious dogmas have even complicate the whole issue. Religion are pure human imagination and assumption. Everything seems like conspiracy theorem to me. Do I ve to wait till death till I know the reason for my existence? |
Why is lives full of so many mysteries? Why is our existence so complicated? Why do we have to search for meaning in our lives? Why do have to find ourselves in a hopeless predicament? Why do GOD not make things simple for us and easily understandable . Is GOD hidding some things from us?Despite advancement in science and technology man has not been able to findmeaning for their existence. |
Emusan: Op you made a mistake.Who created satan? Is it not GOD himself. Is satan not among the fallen angel. How come satan suddenly become more powerful than GOD.If every GODs creation is ''good'' where does satan evolve from. if heavenly being(satan) can sin who are we. Why do GOD have to pollute the earth and allow satan to destroy his work. why must human suffer for things they do not know anything about. Why are animals excluded from the everlasting condemnation. If GOD is LOVE. I hope love should encompasses both evil and good. Why do GOD condemn the evil and reward the good |
spyroet: to my own idea i think God is testing all of us to see who is realy rightous and to see if anybody can be like him, God created man in his own image and likeness, he gave us wisdom and understandin to know good from bad. So God is not punishing us at all.Why must GOD test us inorder to know whelther we will be righteous or not. Are we not created in his image. Is he not the Alpha and Omega. If his will for us is to go to heaven why not leave us in our spirit being . Why must we pass through the earthly form. Why can't he deal with devil in heaven |
Why did GOD create human beings into a universe already heavily contaminated with sin? Why did GOD create human race? The human race is not responsible for sin. Sin was already present in the universe when GOD created Adam and Eve. Satan and his angels had been sinning for some period of time, maybe a very long time, before Adam and EVe were created. Why didn't GOD solve the sin problem with the angels? After all, that's where the sin problem started. Why was the human race drawn into this mess. We didn't ask to be here. Not a single one of us asked to be born. And we certainly didn't ask to be born sinners. I don't mean that babies are born sinning, I just mean that, as the bible says''ALL have sinned.....roman 3:23 Why did GOD created Adam and eve perfect and then put satan right in their neighbourhood? If GOD really didn't want Adam and EVe to sin, why did GOD place the tree of knowledge of good and evil right in their living room where they had to pass by it everyday? Also, why did GOD create a single tree that contained the knowledge of both good and evil? In other words, why did GOD combine good and evil in the same tree? Before adam and eve sin is there any biblical record that they ever praised GOD? Before they sinned, did Adam and Eve understand what a magnificient garden GOD had given them for their home?how could they, they had never experienced anything else. Before they sinned, did Adam and EVe understand what good health was? How could they, they had never been sick. They had never seen disease nor death in anything-----not in humanity not in animals, nor in plants..Adam and Eve could not appreciate any of these things because they had never known anything other than perfection. |
The man must have been a very wicked person for his students to have wrote something like this about him OPEN LETTER TO OOU VC July 12, 2013 by Mayowa OPEN LETTER TO OOU VC FROM THE STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY, OOU PLEASE SAVE US FROM THE EXTREME WICKEDNESS OF MR SEGUN ONABANJO The purpose of this letter is mainly to seek for your assistance in helping us expose the inhuman activities of a lecturer in the Dept. of Sociology and Psychology, Olabisi Onabanjo University before it gets out of hand. The concerns of many students who are very suspicious and tired of organized corruption and unwarranted cruelty by just one Lecturer (Mr Segun Onabanjo) holding the whole department to ransom. Right from time we were admitted into OOU till date, we have witnessed so many cases of most of our seniors being frustrated, demoralized and delayed (NYSC) for years for no good reason by the ways and manners at which he dishes out capital punishment on innocent students and we wouldn’t wait till we also fall victim before we speak out. Funny enough, he takes pleasure in doing so because he liked to be categorized among sadistic lecturers of all times and he openly brags about that. He (Mr Segun Onabanjo) has been in control of all our results for 5years now and he has always sticked to his cruel habit of intentionally delaying at least half of a whole set every year till date by holding on to their results so that it would be absolutely impossible for them to go for their NYSC and thereby enriching his own pocket. To make his works easier, he wouldn’t paste the results on the notice board for everyone to see, sometimes he would intentionally paste it one day to the exam of that particular course, he would ask everyone to come to his office after which he would ask for our matric numbers and then read out the results and references from his laptop (that is if he so wishes to). By so doing, he makes it hard for students to pinpoint errors in order to push for the corrections of errors made on their results and on time before getting to their final year and whatever he says in the Dept. goes. He uses this opportunity to make more money and get back at students who have issues with him while in school or those that wouldn’t want to give out bribes for the “upgrading” of result. It’s a well- known fact that that he extorted a total sum of 50, 000 naira from about 40% of those he cleared for service last year November 2012,he has an agent who collects the money on his behalf, they (2011 set) all can testify to that. We are all at the mercy of Mr Segun Onabanjo because he seems to be the only “god” that everyone looks up to and feared. For fear of reprisal attacks by his lecturer cabal no one is ready to physically lodge a complaint at the VCs office. If you press him too hard for correction of results and report to the highest authority he would add more to your references and make it look as if you actually had those references since the result was not pasted. We see so many of our seniors coming all the way from Lagos to “beg” and “weep” for their right and we can’t help but wonder if the same fate also dangerously awaits us, are we also going to be made to suffer for noting like them. Many of them have written a letter of complaint to him for corrections of mistakes made on results but instead of treating it, he intentionally adds more to their references or he treats it and later on add another set of references to it again so that you are trapped forever until he decides to release them at his own free will. They, as usual, always write to the appropriate authorities every year but “as usual” he comes up with a ready- made excuse. “The laptop I use for your results is faulty I need some money for the repair” and then in retaliation, he adds more to everyone’s references at will, mind you, he cleared a little few of those were able to meet up to the terms of payment, with that same “faulty” laptop most of which were well known dullards destined for an automatic extra year. He would clear every one of them and allow them to go for service at the detriment of other innocent students. To support our claims, ask for a probe into the results of the following students of 2011 set that were cleared for NYSC last November and you would be amazed ASHAJU KWAM, ALAUSA LATEEFAT, SHODIPO TOSIN, ETIWON ADESHINA, OGUNSANYA MONISOLA, KASALI JAMIU, ODUBANJO KEHINDE, ALONGE HASSAN, OLAWUNMI ENIOLA, KEHINDE ADEYEMI, AJALA BUKOLA, SALISU OLAMILEKAN, FAKOWAJO LAWRENCE, YEYEJIDE KUSORO, OLUWOLE KAYODE, BALOGUN QUADRI, RISIKAT OLUWATOYIN, EHINMORE RACHEAL, OGUNKOYA OLUWASEUN, FEMI(Surname not yet verified), and DABOTA JANE. Everyone in the Department is aware of this but they are all afraid to come out and speak. *NOTE: The most disgusting part of the whole saga is that: six of those listed above (Etiwon Adeshina, Alausa Lateefat, Ashaju kwam, Shodipo Tosin, Salisu Olamilekan, Ogunsanya Monisola) are very famous empty barrels who prior to their graduation, were humbly anticipating an extra year but fortunately for them the magician lecturer made them scale through ; we are made to know from our investigations that: one of those listed above is yet to complete his project, two(Olawunmi Eniola and Shodipo Tosin) are his well-known girlfriends. So many lives have been destroyed. So many have been delayed for years, some four years; some three; so many brilliant students are always at the Department begging him even though everyone knew that it’s impossible for them to have any reference. This man has to be stopped or better still, an outsider must be called to take charge of the results because even the H.O.D cannot look him directly in his face and ask him to step down. They are all afraid of him. We wouldn’t wait until it’s our turn to suffer! GOD BLESS YOU SIR Sent in by: STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY, OOU Source: www.oouconnect.net |

I put my trust on a nairalander here only to be scammed later. A nairalander was advertising one portable car tyre pumping machine. I read through his thread and because of some good comments made by some members believed in him. I called him and we make a deal that I'm interested in buying it. I even asked him if he sure of what he is claiming the equipment can do which he assured me.we agreed to meet somewhere in lagos and i contacted him. Due to busy nature of lagos whenever I called him on phone he will say he is coming and he will soon meet me. I waited for almost 4 hours. I've even started feeling impatient when he arrived and he apologised for coming too late.He came with his car(not sure if he is the owner)and he instructed me to enter which I did(since I know he can't overpower me). The transaction now begin. he demonstated how to use the equipment in his car. I inspected the equipment and i was doubting if it can work as described by him. I now told him to let us get out of his car inorder to connect it to his car type . He started giving excuses that the parking space in which he parked his car is just for short time, and that the bank security man have even instructed him not to park there. Is it that I'm not trusting him, that he is good member of nairaland , even if I'm having any problem with the equipment I can return it back to their company. With faith I collected the equipment ,paid him and leave only to get home to discovered that the equipment is fake. It can not even pump a ball talkless of a car tyre. The worst part is whenever I called he is always claiming he is busy. |

All that is required of part-time students at the Lagos State University, LASU, is to answer a set of 70 multiple choice questions every semester to be awarded a Bachelors degree, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt. In what one university professor described as a "dangerous development" in the already poor standard of university education in the country, LASU earlier this year directed all lecturers at its part-time campuses scattered across Lagos to henceforth set only multiple choice questions for all examinations. Copies of some questions seen by this newspaper suggest that the questions were haphazardly put together with irregular numbering, ridden with grammatical and sometimes factual errors. It is devoid of the standardised quality associated with public multiple- choice examinations. There seems to be no effort made by the university to control and manage the standard. Invigilation during the examination was lax, if any at all, we learnt. Examination halls were so crowded that some students did their examination standing in many of the campuses. Though results were released in record time, there were several cases of missing results. Al-Amin Alli-Balogun, the President of the Students' Representative Council, SRC, said many results were posted in the wrong campuses. After several days of searching, some students at the Agege campus saw their results posted at Festac campus. Rather than being an exception, it was the norm across all campuses, he said. "The MCQ [multiple-choice questions] have been able to curb the issue of no results, missing results and the excesses of lecturers," he admitted. However, he described the introduction of multiple choice questions only as a "disgusting moment" in the history of the programme. He said the school management only introduced it to deceive students that something is being done to correct the anomalies of the programme. "We don't have qualified lecturers; the LASU management is only doing this to deceive the students that the programme is changing while it is actually decaying the more. Mass failure is still an issue. Students don't have proper records of the examination they have taken before or the one they should be taking next," he said. One student at the Antony campus described the quality of the printing papers the questions were printed on as similar to what one sees during secondary school mock examinations. Paradoxically, the examinations were so substandard that some enterprising students kicked against the development to the point of openly protesting against it to lecturers, PREMIUM TIMES was told. A former student leader of the programme, Julius Adeoye, highlighted other problems with the examination: "The literature department, for instance, write exams based on the books they've read. We have different lectures with different books recommended but are required to answer the exact same questions. How do you expect students at the Jibowu campus, for instance, to answer questions on a text that wasn't recommended to them but was recommended to students at the Festac campus? "Writing OMR will not even allow the students to grow because I can easily copy and paste but if I'm required to write theory [essay type questions] there is no way I can copy everything from another student. Students don't even attend classes anymore they just show up for examination knowing they can easily copy the answers of other students," he added. But LASU management said its adoption of the multiple choice questions only for part-time student was the best solution to the horde of problems bedevilling the programme. "For those who know how to develop the content, multiple choice is a better assessment than theory," said aide to the university's Director of External System, Dayo Akinshola. "Multiple choice is not an innovation in Nigeria, as far back as the 1970s multiple choice has been in existence. If anybody is against it, it is one of three reasons: one, the person is lazy and doesn't know how to set the questions. Secondly, the person doesn't want to relinquish his power of oppression because with multiple choice questions you're not going to have contacts with the students again and thirdly for whatever reasons, the person wants to frustrate certain people and he knows with multiple that will not be possible. The benefits are endless so whoever doesn't understand the concept must belong to one of those three categories," Mr. Akinsola, who said he has over 20 years experience as an academic, said. He said lecturers who criticise the introduction of the multiple choice questions are bitter because the university has effectively plugged their means of extorting students. He also denied that the examinations were conducted in overcrowded rooms. He challenged any student with proof to present it. However, prominent academics in the country disagree with Mr. Akinsola on the superiority of the multiple choice questions as a means of assessment. Despite their ability to cover wide areas of the subject matter, multiple choice questions fall short of assessing the skills that makes a "total graduate," said Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe, a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, UNILAG. "It is not sufficient. It falls short of examining all the aspects that are very critical to the making of a graduate. When people finish they will be faced with actually writing up opinions in a very legitimate literate version. So we need to teach them the concept of composition; of writing," Mr. Ibidapo- Obe, a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Engineering Systems, said. "I think it is a dangerous development as it may not be able to fully assess a student's performance," said Professor Akii Ibhadode of the University of Benin, UNIBEN. He advised that a mixture of multiple choice questions and essay type questions can be useful up to the second year level but not further than that. The National University Commission, NUC, spokesperson, Ibrahim Yakassai, said universities have been directed to desist from setting entirely multiple choice questions. He promised that the commission will investigate and stop LASU from continuing with the practice. Theses for sale The LASU part-time programme is a thriving auction for the sale of results and theses, PREMIUM TIMES can reveal. The sale of theses, we discovered, are so widespread that lecturers now brazenly ask students to pay into their bank accounts and present copies of tellers as proof of payment. Students are required to pay as much as N50,000 before their proposals are supervised or up to N150,000 to have one written for them by the lecturers themselves. Female students are given considerable discounts if they agree to sleep with lecturers. A student, who asked not to be named, at the Jibowu campus said he knows lecturers who merely give part-time students theses written by full-time students and ask them to be reprinted with the names of part-time students. Another student at the Festac campus said he paid because everyone else was paying. "You don't expect morality from where immorality looms. When lecturers are not paid you don't expect them to behave professionally. Imagine LASU just paid lecturers three days ago [October 30] for salaries that have been due for over two years. How do you expect them to survive if they don't engage in immoralities and misconducts," said Mr. Alli-Balogun. Mr. Akinshola said any lecturer who indulges in malpractices under the pretext of owed honorarium is just being dishonest. He said lecturers are paid on time. He explained that the only lecturers who were not paid were those from the School of Communication because they were ripping the university management off. "The only honorarium that was delayed and paid two days ago was the one for the School of Communication. They are the people saying all these kinds of rubbish. We know their antecedent. We know their stock in trade. We are not going to bleed our eyes over 1400 students when we have 50,000 students elsewhere. These are people who see it as a means of enriching themselves. They are busy inflating the amount they want to collect and the university management in its own wisdom said no. "The issue was investigated by the director and at the end of the day it was discovered that the university has been thoroughly ripped off. They were forced to revert to the norm and once they complied they were paid. That money was processed within two months. If they had complied two years ago they would have been paid their money. They were asking to be paid the money that they never had." The spokesperson said. He said the school management has already come up with plans to stop extortions of students by lecturers but declined to say what these plans are. He said any student who pays for his or her theses to be supervised or written is doing so at his or her own risk. An image tarnishing programme The disorderliness of the examinations and in fact the entire part time programme indicates that the university management is doing everything to rid itself of a programme with a long history of malpractices as quickly as possible. Following report of widespread malpractices soon after the part-time programmes were relocated from the university's main campus in Ojo into poorly equipped campuses across the state, things spiralled out of control. The programme was over taken by a hostage mentality. The university management, lured by the high fees paid by the students, admitted more students than it could handle. Because regular lecturers couldn't cope with the rigour of teaching regular students as well as part time students, the university management resorted to employing part-time lecturers, many of whom are secondary school teachers without any experience in teaching at the tertiary level. Worse, they were not properly monitored or mentored as one would have expected. They were left to their own devices. Frustrated by delayed payment of honoraria, many of these part-time lecturers resorted to brazen-faced extortion of students. Results were withheld for close to two years by some lecturers. For instance, results of some English Language examinations written in June 2012 were released in October 2013. Saddened by rampant malpractices, many full-time lecturers washed their hands off the programme. Worried that incessant scandals associated with the part-time programme was going to irreparably tarnish the university's reputation, in 2011, the State government scraped programme. The university management was directed to stop admitting new students. The last of the current students are expected to graduate in 2016 when the programme would be finally rested. |
This strike already overdue.i dont see any reason the strike should continue. The government have played their own part |
God1stson: I think u hav d premise to argue ur point.I can understand hw u feel, after dealing with those heavy calculations u would xpect d society 2 reward u.The trut is that those calculations are rubish compared 2 realities on ground.The Nigerian soc. of engineers knows about this,yet are not doing anytin 2 change the statosque.If I'm made d minister of eduation,i will make mechanic village,technical sch GTC, phone repairers,bricklayers,electricians,carpers and d lot 2 have B.tech nd city n guide.u can only getBtech is not meant for phone repair, bricklayer, carpenter and co. Degree is much more than that.its bec of ur ignorance ure typing all this rubbish above. All these people are called artisan and craftwork. It takes only primary school leaving certificate to be an good artisan |
Gamji007: You are wrong my friend. That is a general misconception and problem with most engineering graduates in Nigeria. You believe holding spanners and screwdrivers are not meant for you, whereas engaging in such practical work could make you improve on your skills and make you relevant in everywhere you find yourself especially in a country like Nigeria, where Engineers,Technicians,Foremen, electricians, roadside mechanics etc are all considered the same.In a saner economy engineers are trained to design and technician, elecrician, mechanics are to look after technical equipment and do practical work like repair. due to lack of job an engineer could downgrade to be a technician but that does not mean engineers are to become road side mechanic as uve descibe above |
indomitable234: If engineers are the most unemployed graduates then its all their fault,as an enginneer,u shouldn't bee looking for job,instead u should be providing jobs,let's break it downThese jobs u mention above are not meant for engineers they are for technician. Why go and spend 5yrs in a uni to end up as an electrician or engine repairer |
Change of attitude is what we need.its not about being black. We need orientation in all areas of our life.God bless Nigeria |
May God save us. |
eyitayoemmanuel: Thanks everyone for your comment. My fear is that once a man cannot provide for his family, he gets frustrated at every small issue. Dont want my case ending like the guy who butchered his wife over a similar issue cos my husband is beginning to get frustrated cos I complain more these days. At times he feels bad about the whole situation but I think he's just pretending otherwise he would have done something about it.Let him get frustrated if that will solve the problem. I can see ure living in constant fear. U don't want to hurt him. If he sincerely feel bad as uve said he should at least try his best but from all indication he is a lazy man. |
