Education › Re: Letter To All Nigerian V.cs by codeine123: 7:31am On Oct 31, 2012 |
shegzy: LETTER TO ALL NIGERIAN V.Cs
Sir, one of the problems in many, if not all Nigerian universities is that some of the Vice- Chancellors (V.Cs) are too far away from their students despite the fact that they are on campus with their students! They often erroneously believe that getting close to their students is condescending. Whereas, getting close to the students will create mutual understanding as communication gap will be bridged.
To underscore my points, how many V.Cs operate an open-door policy in which their students have direct access to them? How many V.Cs give out their mobile line to student for direct communication? In this information and communication age, how many of our powerful V.Cs are on the Facebook or any other social network medium with which their students can pass information across? If President Goodluck Jonathan can find Facebook useful in sharing information with Nigerians, why are our V.Cs still hiding in the comfort of their offices?
Apart from matriculation and graduation ceremonies, many Nigerian V.Cs are not visible, hence, many students don’t know their V.Cs throughout the four years spent on campus. This is not good. V.Cs should manage our campuses by opening up to the students, wandering about the campuses to know what is going on; if possible, sit for a few minutes in a lecture room to listen to the lecturers.
I am propelled to challenge all our V.Cs this way as a result of my recent encounter with the University of Ibadan (UI) VC, Prof. Isaac Folorunso Adewole. I had heard so much good reports about Prof. Adewole since he was appointed, but l never met him or saw him physically because of protocols built around him.
However, at a christening ceremony of a new born baby of Mr & Mrs Sunday Saanu, the VC’s media man, which I attended, I was lucky to have met my VC at the occasion. I was shocked when l saw the UI VC along with his wife, attending the ceremony. Mr Saanu introduced us to the VC as students at Ibadan. I was dazed with the humility displayed by our highly respected VC. He shook hands with all of us and exchanged banters. Prof. Adewole was lively, friendly and amiable; he even took photograph with us. I was more than happy and excited. When he was leaving the ceremony, he gave us “transport fare” as an expression of his love for us. It was as I was dreaming.
Since then, my impression about him changed. I now know that if our VCs can be closer to their students, there will be less tension on our campuses. I have been carrying the picture I took with my VC around and my friends are envious just as my fiancée now respects me more because she sees me as VC’s friend.
Prof. Adewole is even on Facebook. I have added him as my friend. This is how our VCs should open up. We want to interact with them in order to have solution to our problems. I therefore say kudos to Prof. Adewole for setting a good example for others to follow. He should keep up the good work he has started at Ibadan. Indeed, if Prof. Adewole continues this way, he will see that nobody will demonstrate against him throughout his tenure. Our political leaders should learn lesson from this. When we would have voted for them, they have this habit of hiding away from us until election time. Our leaders should be visible and available.

Nice write up from a great columnist Okey Ndibe. I always read his columns in SunNews paper and Saharareporters. He is a very insightful writer and has this great sense of humour with additions of wittisms to his write up. Back to the topic at hand,Nigerian leaders are failures and have failed the Nigeian citizens, making life unbearable for them. What is happening now can be liked to Karma, they are being punished by the Almighty for all the sufferings they have brought to the Nigerian people. |

[/quote its simple. Based on the population of the rich to the poor which in nigeria should be 10 to 90, it means out of every 10 nairalander 9 are poor and only 1 is rich. Ergo, most nairalanders are poor. |

I don't totally agree with the findings of this research. Yes Africans have a lower IQ when compared to Europeans, Americans or Asians of same chronological age but not as low as eighty somethings.That's just ridiculous. IQ below 90 is used medically for diagnosing mental retardation, so does this mean that the average Nigerian is mentally retarded? The answer is a vehement NO!!!!!. Moreover the IQ test has its own biases and better and less subjective ways of measuring IQ are now available. IQ is not a predictor of whether someone will be successful in life or not. I'm suggesting a more better parameter which should be assessment of ones emotional and financial intelligence which are of more practical value than IQ which is only limited to the four walls of a classroom. |

Food › Re: Narrate How A Tough Meat Has Embarrassed You! by codeine123: 7:05am On Oct 27, 2012 |
My experience with tough meat was not only embarrassing, it was also life threatening. I remember this one episode that happened in a cafeteria of a hospital where I was doing my internship and it was on a christmas day. The meat was unusually hard that particularly day but unknown to me I thought it was the usual soft and tender meat. Oboy when I put the thing for mouth and started chewing I couldn't believe it was meat oooo I thought it was a leather belt. I kept on chewing and chewing and chewing but the meat refused to be pulverized, I then decided to swallow the meat whole. Lo and behold it went down the wrong tube and I started coughing vigorously and was almost being chocked to death. Thank God for the intervention of my colleagues who performed a helmich manoeuvre, if not I for don die ooo |
