IYA NGBALI: Kai see as him coffin fine,he come dey make death to dey hungry me.

hehe ... this Iya Ngbalife sha

mi xpressive: Where do you study?

Obafemi Awolowo University.

This is a welcome development!

I contacted the Vice Dean, Division of Students' Affair of my school to ask him if my school can do same, he responded we will be the last man standing as far as this ASUU strike is concerned!

The hope of resuming February 2014 is again blinking... ASUU, God dey!!

Jingo-OAU:
During my university days at Obafemi Awolowo University, I enjoyed the bursary from 200level to my final year and its always constant. I also enjoy the scholarship from my 200 level till my final year.

What year did you graduate sir?

The scholarship was then 25k while the bursary was 5k. The goodwill changed when Mimiko was sworn-in. He cancelled outrightly the modality for collecting the scholarship and bursary

Prior to Mimiko's administration, [s]every ondo students in all the universities are qualified for the bursary,[/s] the scholarship was meant for the students with second class upper. [s]The process was so clean and there was no bottle-neck in terms of claims and collection of the money[/s]

Fixed!

Immediately Mimiko came, he instructed that for any student to be eligible for the scholarship, the student must first, have 4.0CGPA and after that, the person would write an exam and failure of this exam might leads to disqualification......

I quite agree the scholarship process both before Mimiko's administration and his own tenure are marred with irregularities and deficiencies.

@The bolded; Do you want someone who failed a scholarship test to get awarded? lmao

lilTunechi: Space Booker. Hw fa

I dey o... haha you caught me!

Seun: You're lying

Lwkmd! Seun, you badt o

That akward moment you call Seun into matter to seek his appraisal or authentication of your opinion and you get an opposite affirmation... lols

I don't think so because i try as much as possible to think before posting here and even on online social platforms generally.

mckorode: Well like I said...mentality..we all know the fuel subsidy protest was a joke and most protests where rallies or concerts and people were having fun and making money.why do you think just getting the degree(paper) is more important than the quality of education. Even in the US not everyone goes to college and you are almost unable to tell the difference between a high school and college grad at first sight because of the quality even at junior level.back when education was quality that's when my grandmother of 80yrs went to primary school(standard 6) and up till now she can read novels,magazines and inspirational books.that's what quality can do.

Nigeria wants to setup automobile factories..who will work their? Graduates? Goto china and you will find that people working in those factories and exporting companies are highschool grads and may have diploma in business English for those who do sales.
A lot of things cannot be done with certain mentality.everything can't be handed down to you by govt...forget corruption now..for 150milion people nigeria is not oil rich in anyway.We are broke.so you can't expect them to do everything for you.

So what exactly is your point sir?

mckorode: The solution to the problems of tertiary education in this country is public-private partnership.
Tertiary education is too cheap in Nigeria.And we all know cheap isn't quality. If the universities are run by private enterprises at higher cost we would get better quality even though it's at higher cost.Alot of people are paying less than what they paid in secondary school now that they are in the university. Alot of people in universities can afford to pay 10 times their current fees but for their government -centric mentality.
Americans know how much they have saved for years to send their wards to college.here people that don't even pay tax will be complaining about everything.
There are so many policies that can be put in place to make tertiary education top notch in this country.maybe I should start a new thread to discuss this.

Your suggestion is a nice vibrant one but so useless to be applied to the current system on ground in our nation Nigeria.

Like you said, i agree with you that the cost of our tertiary education is reasonably cheap but escalating the cost at the aim of getting quality education can be suicidal to it.

Before you can consider raising the cost of anything, you have to consider the people you are producing those goods for. Are they financially capable to have it? A lot of Nigerians are out there working VERY hard to be able to afford that education you called cheap for their wards. Increasing the cost of education without the putting in place of necessary measures to make up for it is not good for Nigeria at this time.

Why do you think Nigerians vehemently protested Jonathan's fuel subisidy removal? It is not that they don't know the deregulation of the downstream sector is a nice policy but because they don't trust the government and more importantly, no adequate measures on ground to reduce the effect of such policy on citizens.

As for me, i don't see any difference in your proposal to that of the subsidy removal.

AnsuEncore: Ehya see wetin ASUU strike dey cause, oga na chew no be shew... And I love d way u used d word "terminated" , I get d humour behind it.,lol

Fixed. Thanks!

Miner13: u mean ur own is at d receivin end wit ur half baked cert. Wen wil u jst reason beyond ursef 2 mak our educatn a beta 1 if nt d best.

Jst hop dis advic wil meet u wel.

It took me several times to read this post to get what your talking about.

Let me state here that nobody is saying the government is right and that does not make ASUU an inch better too. It is too early to start an arguement on a holy day like this. Maybe when i return from church, i will try to shed more light on my stance if necessary.

ASUU is now biting more than they can chew... We understand you lost your member but our life should not be at the receiving end. Afterall, a lot of students have been terminated in course of this strike.

@Boay, i salute your mentality to open a thread of this nature just like other threads with similar objective.

I won't start an epistle here to avoid this thread from being derailed. However, let me just hope and pray this arena doesn't file in to join a lot of others with similar content that are yet to be efficiently addressed even after Mr Seun raised the hope of Nairalanders that he appreciated them.

At the moment, i noticed the major concern of some members of this forum is about the forum moderation. I crave the indulgence of this concerned forumites to please let me tell the admin here that the continued way these pleas have been handled with levity is not going to help in any way.

berem: How are you doing? Wetin dey happen for the other end?

I am doing great. How about you? Still on this Sexkillz matter? I doubt if Seun has the gut to relieve him of his duty.

Infact, i think Seun himself is confused! He admitted that he cannot talk to his moderators on how they moderate this forum.

*following with keen interest* Evening Nairalanders... Berem, i hail o

nice one

The prize is small though compared to what we have been seeing over the years for similar achievement. Anyway, its a nice one from the FG. At least, oppositions and ASUU can take a pill.

BTW, where is that lady that claims she loves Alampasu? Now that Alampasu was neither given huge dollars nor land and house in Abuja, what will you do now?? Lmao

Personally, i think inviting him to the Super Eagles team will help him big time. It will boost his moral and also charge up the players in the national team to perform better as none will like to be displaced by such a young lad. Even if he will not play, inviting him will also help his current mates to improve their games as they too will want that.

I will be glad to see him play in any of our build up games to Brazil 2014 World Cup.
