[quote author=Quakertellicus1 post=44257231]Matters arising...(I know no one would read this post...sulk sulk )

1.The problem with University of Abuja is that it is a poorly equiped university. It does not have enough facilities....especially in the buildings and the furnishings. That is why the OP was looking for chair and why the lecturer came to swap students.

A bit about UniAbuja. The University's Mini Campus is the size of a secondary school . The Main Campus (which started development very late in the day)...is just as small too.

That is why students have issues getting seated at the campus.

2.I guess the reason why the lecturer was suspicious was because the student left the hall. Now...the problem here is that due to the lack of adequate space...lecturers have to be extremely suspicious of students. And yes,students cheat in many sophisticated ways. (I speak as the son of lecturers....who have many tales to tell). Hence the argument...because....many a lecturer has been played the fool by a student pretending to leave exam hall '' to ease himself or herself'' only to snatch dubs from the toilet....

3.I agree fully that the lecturer did victimize the student....but something tells me the flogging was not ''severe'' as it was made out to be.But still, many lecturers do mistreat students....and the problem is that there is no recourse for the university student to report erring lecturers to the authority. So...many students take extreme measures (Like the AAU engineering student who resorted to exposing her randy lecturer on camera when he would not leave her alone ....the video was viral on Youtube for weeks.).

4.The fact is that there is an us vs them mentality between university students and lecturers. Now...not all lecturers are bad. Many are very approachable and nice to students. I think that the problem is that the fact that universities have become crowded, lecturers have become overworked, and quality of students has declined (eg...our OP was saying ceased...instead of seized my blackberry...says something about the quality of students IF someone cannot use English properly). Add the fact that the corrupt Nigerian society has infiltrated the schooling system....and you have the mess we face.

5.So what is to be done here.

a) I think that there has to be a thorough investigation into the allegations made against the lecturer concerned. That does not mean that the lecturer is guilty(there could also be a gang up against the lecturer because he is considered too''strict''....yes such things happen)...but this issue needs to be sorted out before it ends badly.

b) I think it is high time University of Abuja had its main campus completed. Because...that mini campus and the main campus as it is is not fit for purpose. The space is very limited for students., accommodation is poor, study facilities are poor...so poor, and living space for lecturers and students is bad. University of Abuja was established to be primus inter pares...instead it has become another messed up Nigerian university.

c) I also strongly think that universities should really listen to their students. I did a postgrad degree at a British University. Several times over the year...the authorities of the department where I was a student KEPT ON ASKING US...IF WE WERE OK, ANY COMPLAINTS, WAS THE COURSE SATISFACTORY., etc (They EVEN ASKED US TO CRITIQUE THE COURSE WE WERE ON....WERE WE DOING THE RIGHT SUBJECTS, ETC). In all my years in schooling in Nigeria....I had never ever been asked about my opinions about anything (My Nigerian university where i did undergrad did ask us to write what needed improving on our student registration form...but as one of my mates joked back then...They do not read it!). Most Nigerian universities need to show they care about their students....because many students do not think they do.

d) I also think that our students too need to be a bit more humble. We are very proud and arrogant sadly. In my years as a student , I was once punished by one of my lecturers (it was a clear misunderstanding).I took my punishment and kept quiet. To cut a long story short...that lecturer became more friendly to me later on in the course. Imagine what would have happened if I acted proud. We are in university not just to get degree and get out...but to learn to follow instructions.

e) We should also learn to be a bit wise. As a student , many times I have been in a situation where I had issues with my exam table/materials. Instead of leaving the exam hall...I drew the examiner/supervisor's attention to it. If our OP had done that...instead of leaving the hall, and drawing the suspicion of a lecturer who had been played several times by cheating students in the past....maybe we won't be here talking about this.
Mr.Man,You might be saying this because you are a lecturer's son. I graduated from that school and i knew Mr .Adams he is what they said he was.Extortion is his loggo!
