HigherEd:
Can you please make this a thread and tag me. Thank you.

I am curious about the final outcome also...

You're free to have whatever suspicions you chose to.
I've been on nairaland to read news and relevant information, as a guest for over 5years.
So if I now want to make a post here about an issue that personally affects me and mine, and nairaland says I must Register first, how is that an issue?

Whether he resigns or eventually sacked, that's CU's & the guy's business.

My concern is for the school to act in accordance with intn'l best practices, as it pertains to all the revealing sexual allegations that are strong enough to dent the image of the acclaimed World Class Institution.

for the second bold part, please can you enlighten a brother what these Intl best practices are?

In Moremi hall, Unilag, way back, we had one roommate. That type of 10man room, then students demarcated their corners with curtains. We had one roommate, we were all in the room, next the we heard was shhhiiii... and then smell of insecticide. We we challenged her spraying insecticide with us in the room. She said all she knew was she was spraying 'her own corner and not the entire room'.

Diffusion will send the spray everywhere now...

Hmmm

U are talking abt people bein in debt to roasted corn sellers.

And I am askin if corn is a 'Eat or Die' stuff..

Why buy corn when u don't have money to?

Stop showing the duara reasoning trait... how does being broke equate to being indebted to corn sellers?

93Miles:
do people buy things such as roasted corn upfront?


When did corn becomes a 'Eat or Die'?

Typical buhari supporter response...void of sound logic.

93Miles:
Sai baba till 2023.

This is more appropriate. Just hail him sheepishly and move on. Why call a tyrant best govt? An economic rascal for that matter?

93Miles:
This Administration remains the best admin since 1999....




God bless PMB for his wisdom and selfless service.





Sai baba you too much!!

Since when has doubling of the capital of petty traders translated to improved earnings for those traders?

Imagine the next roasted plantain or corn or yam seller in your street, how will an extra 10k or 20k in his/her capital result in better earning when the people patronizing her are constantly being owed salary and seeing hardship?
Let's be objective when we play politics.

What a twist!

TATIME:
The main subject of debate is whether something survives the man after death. Of course this is something that's difficult to resolve because according to the Bible "nothing survives after a man dies. Ecclesiastes 3:19,20 & 9:4-10
But due to so many events of dead persons appearing to those living and doing one thing or another that's affecting the living positively or negatively, most people now believe that something still survives man after death. So many Bible students have been meditating on comments made by Bible characters and making references to them in concluding on what to believe. At 1Samuel 28:3-25 there something confusing happened so that most people now finds it more difficult to believe that nothing survives man after death. But the book of Genesis is what JWs based their own conclusions because God told Adam "you will die"(Genesis 2:16,17) at the same time Satan told Eve "you will not REALLY die"(Genesis 3:2,3) Adam wasn't deceived he only joined his wife and Satan to rebel(1Timothy 2:14) Satan have also succeeded in deceiving one third of the angels in heaven to join him in his rebellion, these are the ones supporting the lie Satan told the first couple in the beginning (Revelations 12:4) Satan have been causing confusion everywhere until the birth of Jesus who came and enlightened His followers about all that Satan has been doing. Note that Revelations 12:4 says "the dragon kept standing close to the woman to devour her child" meaning Satan has been waiting for the one coming to unravel all his tactics. But after all his efforts failed,Satan decided to go after TRUE Christians who have learnt from Jesus all Satan's secrets both past, present and future. Revelations 12:17 That's why every religion that claims to believe in the Bible (either in part or full) hate the TRUE Christians(Jehovah's Witnesses). Matthew 10:22,John 17:14) Although these people will be thinking they're worshipping Jesus but the hidden truth is that "they are UNKNOWINGLY working for Satan" 2Corinthians 4:4 compared to Revelations 12:9
God bless you!

I believe the soul is largely subdued after physical death. I say this because the picture of heaven painted in the Bible hardly needs the soul components(intellect, will, emotion) of man any longer. Remember also the bible says there will gnashing of teeth on that day(emotion). That connotes emotion.
The devil came to steal, kill, and destroy and that shouldn't be hard to decipher going by evil happenings around the world today.

Woah that's large.

Anas09:
So, a soul is a living conscious body? And this body resides inside of your physical body?

Pls oneJ. Which part of your body does the soul resides in?

The human soul to me is comprised mainly of his emotion, intellect and will. These components draw largely from the state of the spirit man which to me is the real man.
The soul along with the body and spirit forms the triune nature and complete man.

Unscriptural trash everywhere. Where in bible did God command people to be giving specific amount in this manner?

Cjrane2:
Dangote alone is richer than all these so called banks COMBINED!

That's the problem. Dangote will start another factory and go for the most technology driven set up that employs as few hands as possible for the sake of his returns.

Cassava flakes I call it.
Can't cassava be processed to rival corn flakes like it is being used to rival wheat flour?

I hope our northern brethren are carried along...

Education and crookedness.
The average degree holder doesn't understand how civilization works or why and how to be civilized in dealings.
They just look out for their belly even at the expense of their own immediate relations.
People must realize university education isn't cheap anywhere in the world, it is just a matter of who is paying for it and how the payment is done.

obailala:
Lol... Nothing is currently being produced but your worry is that 'if' something is produced, the proceeds will be shared with dormant unproductive states up north?... What about the dormant unproductive states down south who also take share of proceeds for producing nothing?... Even this comment you quoted mentions that Kogi and Gombe (north) are mining coal but Enugu (south) which sits on the largest coal deposits is just sitting and waiting for proceeds to be shared. Na wa for reasoning!

We hear of illegal mining everyday. Something must be exchanging hands somewhere.

Typical Tinubu boy profile...
6) He is a game player and will remit properly to oga.
7) He loathes Tinubu just like Fash and Amb but will play along until he gets to that seat then manifest what Amb too did to warrant his ordeal.
He will be dreaming of Aso Rock secretly also.

This is what happens when the destiny of the goat is pepper soup but ritual men are eyeing it.

Pathetic.

The Federal Ministry of Education on Wednesday debunked the news trending on social media that the Federal Government had approved the hike in tuition fees of Nigerian universities to N350,000.

Mr Sonny Echono, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry made the clarification at a symposium in Abuja.

Echono, who said the Federal Government was not planning to increase the tuition fees, urged Nigerians to remain calm on the issue.

The symposium has its theme: “The Right to Education means the Right to a Qualified Teacher’’.

“The Federal Government did not and has no intention of introducing new tuition fees in our public universities not to mention the figure to N350, 000.

“What is true is that the present administration is committed to guarantee quality of education.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the ministry of education along with the ministry of finance to jointly organise a workshop that will inform on a very sustainable and workable recommendation of funding education in Nigeria.

“And to this end, we have been engaging various stakeholders including ASUU who can come up with a very useful contribution that will bring all these recommendations achievable.

Echono added that the ministry was working toward re-establishing the education bank to address the role of education funding as the government cannot do it alone.

He said the role of the education bank would be to give loan at a low-interest rate, saying this would not be limited to students alone but also parents.

On the right to education, Echono said every child has the fundamental right to quality education, adding that the ministry had developed strategies to ensure pupils and students with special needs were carried along.

Echono said that the National Teachers Institute (NTI) had also concluded plans to train and develop the capacity of primary and secondary school teachers in the 36 states and FCT.

He said that the right to education was sine qua non to national development, saying the Ministerial Strategic Plan (2016 to 2019) had been designed to guarantee expanded access to all levels of education.

Echono said that the plan was geared toward providing adequately the necessary infrastructure and facilities to ensure that the right to the basic level and standards were maintained.

He, therefore, called on teachers to upgrade themselves as effective from January 2020, any teacher who did not present the prerequisite qualifications would be pushed out of the system.

Echono urged the teachers to take advantage of the professional examinations made available in 35 states and online resource materials to guide them as a teacher.

He, however, called on states governments owing teachers’ salaries to take a step in ensuring that teachers were paid as when due and as well motivate teachers adequately for optimal performance.

Earlier, Mrs Justina Ibe, the Director, Education Support Service of the ministry, said the Federal Government had not relented in its efforts to ensure that the teaching profession was provided with qualified personnel.

Ibe said that this informed the Ministerial Strategic Plan which were now being implemented gradually with positive results.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the symposium was part of activities to commemorate the World Teachers Day to hold on Oct. 5, to celebrate the contributions of teachers to nation building.

Logical move.
If anything is learnt from UI's success among all Nigerian schools it is that a bigger post graduate community is favourable to research work and better school standing.

hmmm... how true is this report?

That's part of the preparation for the society out there. It will make you adapt better than those in closed campus systems . . .

Babcock acquires OSU

Babcock supports OSU is more appropriate.

lapo:
That's the newest way private universities are making money. They simply make deals with governments and get the bulk sum. Days of public funded universities are certainly numbered. What hope for the poor parents?

scholarship.
Only the crooked who bribe their way into the system have something to fear for. The truly brilliant will get in because the private universities are more upright in their dealings.

Lisaint:
Wonderful.........
If i may ask
If Elizade merge with AAUA as you propose,
What will happen tp the sch fees?
How much is the minimum wage ?
How should the parent get the money,?


The root of the funding problem is the Government
They keep creating new institution why the old ones are crying of funds


The more they create
The more we have more problem

Nice question.
As it stands, govt spends hundreds of thousands subsidizing each student in most state universities. Instead of having 20,000 student getting poor education let the govt patronize the private uni and educate even just 12,000 of those 20,000 properly. It makes sense that way.

deebsman1:
I remember those days at Al-Hikmah uni in Ilorin how many of those northern students went there on scholarships

Really? That's good. Better than poor and cheap education system.

Same way they treat churches as brothel up north. Not so special if it is Islam that is being scrutinized.

branhampaul:
Small sense wey you get, e nor still let you use..
You mumu shall

You are the mumu here. since inception only 2 first class graduates in a department and you think that makes the department a tough one or what?
Isn't this the same law other universities are offering and NUC is regulating?

I consider this a far better use of state funds than sponsoring religious activities or building low standard state schools and think it will help galvanize the FG's plan to increase public university fees and standard. I say this because any state govt already paying private school fee for about half a thousand students can afford such fee.
Nice move.
Some state govt may also need to close down their state uni or upgrade it to the emerging standard private universities are setting.
