TheVictorious:
OP you keep stressing the fact that he's a fine administrator. The question here is, are the corruption charges brought before him TRUE or FALSE?

Well. For many who haven't been followers of events in OAU, it may really be difficult to clearly put things to you.

I deliberately didn't want to delve into a lot of contention on the charges preferred against Elujoba but let me curl a part of someone's article (a journalist who understands the OAU terrain very well) and I hope it gives you a better picture of things:

"What happened is this. There was a backlog of allowances owed staff of OAU, the NASU and SSANU which plunged the university into a monumental traumatic and dramatic crisis.

It was in all these that Elujoba's announcement as the acting Vice-Chancellor came on 21st July 2016 with a mandate from the Federal government to stabilise peace in the university and to bring all members of the university together.

Upon assuming office, in a constituted investigative panel, Elujoba discovered that there was a secret stash of billions named a development fund kept in a secret account by the Omole's administration.

In his own judgement, the VC then directed that part of the fund be used to offset the backlog of allowances of the aggrieved staff, as against the federal government TSA policy.

This is what the VC is being charged for. Procedural error, misappropriation and diversion of fund as his action contradicts the Federal government Treasury Single Account directive that all the university money should be directed to the FG TSA.

Let me state it clearly that it is normal if been charged for the procedural error. But the seemingly political undertone attached to the topic is the reason for the complexity I have with the topic.

Nevertheless, truth will always lead."

...I have read comments by some campus Leftists and probably that is where the CEC stole this silly idea. One thing is sure, whatever position the Union takes at this time is well capable of changing narratives in the near future. Therefore, there is a need for OAU students to assert a notable and noble stand on the current Magu's danse macabre.

Let me even ask, is anyone still in doubt if selective corruption fight is not what this present government is best known for? Do you not think it is really high time any sincere Nigerian youth reassessed his/her loyalty to this seemingly incompetent government?

Without mincing words, I am strongly of the opinion that Nigeria is at the brink of slaughtering one of its finest administrators on the slab of nepotism. If it does, the martyr’s blood will spill over and clog the intent of doing any good in many. Sadly, Late Major Daniel Bamidele now comes to mind again...

#FreeElujoba: Nigeria on the brink of slaughtering one of her finest administrators on the slab of a nepotistic anti-corruption drive

Some of us (Nigerian youths) have made up our mind and sworn to ourselves to uphold the great values of humanity that are obviously lacking in the country’s leadership today, even while we are yet to lead, when we are privileged to lead and for the rest of our lives. The simple reason is because we clearly understand, feel and suffer what selfish and corrupt governance, incompetency and anarchy have made of Nigeria and her defenseless citizens.

Unfortunately, as I write, the failing Nigerian system is once again bearing so hard on our resolve, our resilience and motivation to remain true to this noble decision of ours. You know it’s quite pathetic and saddening right?

I have been a community member, an ardent follower of events and a critical observer of administrations in Obafemi Awolowo University for a while, especially in the last 6 years or thereabout. I have never witnessed a kind of the leadership brought on board by Professor Anthony Elujoba.

To tell the obvious, it was more than a smooth academic calendar for an institution that usually strikes pretty better than thunder. I mean, that was just one of the many goodies that have since come the way of Nigeria's best university while the Village Chemist lasted at the helm of affairs.

Now, he’s been made to pay for probably going a long extent to ensure normalcy restored to the once tattered system. While I believe no one should truly be above the law, it is a shame that the case for us in Nigeria cannot be described any better than a Yoruba adage has put it; “Ńse ni a fi ètè silè pa làpálàpá” (We are ignoring leprosy for the cure of ringworm). I feel if Professor Anthony Elujoba is eventually jailed for restoring sanity, pride and peace to #GreatIfe after several years of struggles and apparent maladministration of the institution, then, Nigerians (especially members of OAU community) need to be convinced about the real values of the present central government and where its interest lies.

More importantly, this is the best time for the direct beneficiaries – students, staff, parents, Ile-Ife community, Osun State, Nigerian students and all sincere Nigerians – to raise their unified voice in rejection of the obvious selective corruption fight and victimization of 'distant' Nigerians by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Of course, we know those who ran our system aground and surely, we know they have political immunity from the leprous claws of justice. If not so, now tell me, for how long are we going to reward the real thieves with appointments instead of breaking their heart of crime?

By the way, where is the Great Ife student's Union whose members have benefited the most from the leadership of the Pharmacist? Oh, my bad, I almost forgot a soon-to-be medical doctor, who currently leads the Union is allegedly in the business of doctoring the doctrines of the same Union.

So I learnt, as I was gathering thought for this piece that the Union Executives, in a statement purportedly signed by the Union PRO said “…as Students' Union, we firmly maintain our position not to be used by any Union, organisation and even the University Management to achieve their selfish agenda. Nevertheless, it is essential that students decide on what is right and healthy for our Union and mass of students at this critical point in time.” Applaudise!!

Well, I am not certain about those advising the Union’s CEC to tow the line of denying a man who promised the restoration of its proscribed Union and reinstatement of its rusticated comrades and did not eventually renege on fulfilling those promises on assumption of office, among many other developments that came to OAU during his time....

TheHistorian:

Dont you think it's better for Mr Magu to be a tool for political victimization??

When another political alignment wields power,They use the same EFCC to fight opposite forces and subsequently Corruption gets eradicated completely in our political scene.

This is not healthy for any system that has genuine interest in seeing a much less corrupt system. Corruption fight should be regardless of the personality behind it.

I have said it, I am saying it and I will continue to say that Buhari's anti-corruption drive is nepotistic, fraudulent, selective and a scam.

Not until there is a honest assessment, sincere review and total overhaul of the approaches and methodology employed in fighting corruption by this government, we will continue to be in that same circle of good riddance to bad rubbish.

EFCC chief, Magu is nothing but a mere tool in the hands of some present ruling political Lords. Apparently, he's 'nerveless' and does not have a 'spine' of his own.

Gerrard59:


Coupled with safety. Their intolerance level is too high.

You are right.

While it is okay to train young brilliant sharps abroad, it is also worthy to note that the problem is not really shortage of manpower in the health sector. Ask yourself, what are the incentives on ground to attract doctors and other health workers to Kaduna state? How efficient are the health institutions in the state? I know many graduate doctor willing to go to the North if their pay and welfare are not rigmarolled.

By the way, what is the probability that those ones sponsored abroad with public funds will return back to work in the state?

Bbsharon:


Yes, OAU. The police have never been helpful in any of the cases of theft that has been occuring overtime. I really do not know why ans that's so sad to always think we are at our own mercy whenever a robbery incident occurs.

You still talk about change ? Or the promised change? I thought everyone now knows it was all a scam all along.

Well, to be honest, I don't think this government is sincere about whatever change it promised, especially before the leadership assumed power. You are very right, it was scam all along.

...as it stands, Nigeria comfortably sits on a keg of gun powder and this is suicide for the country. But is there truly no way out of this mess at all?

Please, I don't think we should say 2019 is around one corner because 2015 was around that same corner some years back.

This story is false. Nathaniel Bassey only shared the testimony of someone who participated in the programme.

I am sorry about your awful experience and more importantly, thank God you weren't hurt yourself.

A student of Obafemi Awolowo University right? The occurrence of thieves raiding students who reside off campus is a tradition in Ife environs and sadly, the Police hasn't been able to work out any solution. This reminds me of the report of how Evans was initially arrested as an armed robber, only to be released few days after by the Police. He later transformed to a bigger terror.

I have not been robbed at gun point before but I have had my properties stolen in school (including a brand new phone I bought that was stolen overnight, just less than 12 hours after purchase).

I appreciate the fact that you still stand for the right thing - mob action and jungle justice is not right and cannot be justified no matter what.

The problem here is with our systems. Both the law enforcement bodies and our judicial system are faulty. All of these things are issues I sincerely had my hopes high that the promised change of this present government would address upon assumption but here we are today, nothing has changed for better. We are sincerely in a pathetic state but I won't say the country has no hope anymore.

edygistvilla:


You think I don't know that?
You think I'll just request for phone number without thinking of options?
So, you think there are no personal questions one can ask away from this thread?
Do you think people share exactly the same subjective experiences?

I am sorry sir.

edygistvilla:
Please can I have the phone number of someone who is presently a student of UI, I would love to ask some few important questions...abeg!

Simply put up your questions here. There are some students who are here and would answer you. Okay?

SaulRazor:
No Nigerian is owing the Nigerian govt any dime but instead it's the Nigerian govt that is owing us for years of Neglect of the duties and responsibilities to us...No electricity yet we are charged monthly , no roads, no potable water supply , no security , absolutely nothing to show for all the years of Tax we have paid ....

God bless your thinking sir. ��

From the comments I have read earlier, it shows a large chunk of Nigerians are not intelligent. Instead of them to think critically on this issue, they keep bashing the suspect due to their uncontrolled emotion.

I won't be amazed if Evans is eventually granted bail because our security outfits have long always failed to do the right thing, especially when it comes to the prosecution of suspects. No surprises tho, it flows from the seeming non-regard for the rule of law encouraged by the number one man.

So unfortunate!

Nigeria has never had it so divisive like what we are experiencing now in recent times. So sad.

DeGuyNxtDoor:
There's this girl whose parents are divorced and she now stays with her strict dad while her mum married immediately after the divorce. This girl who happens to be a virgin, good character and naive revealed something so bad to me yesterday (which is same day this thing happened). She trusts me, takes me as her guidian, she takes me as her brother and everything, although we got to know each other from this ponzi stuff back then and since then, she asked me to be her friend which I agreed. She discusses everything with me, she calls always to seek for advice and so on.

So yesterday, she flashed me, I called her back and asked how she was doing and she said she's fine and that she wants to tell me sormething, I asked her if its good or bad news and she said its bad almost crying, immediately, I ran outta airtime and she asked me to wait so she can get airtime to call me back.

When she called back, I asked her what it was and she said (I did it today) I asked her what did she do? And she replied ( I had sex today, I was forced "crying" ) I calmly asked her how it happened and she said her so-called dad asked her to deliver something to a guy who's 22years of age, And when she got there, delivered it and was about leaving, then the guy asked her to come in and say hi to his sister. Immediately she stepped in, he bolted the door and forced himself on her and after he was done he said he loves her.

I asked her if she's told her dad and she said no simply because she's scared of him, " should parents make their children feel uncomfortable around them? Shouldn't it be the other way round?" I asked her if she struggled or screamed and she said the guy overpowered her and moreover there wasn't anyone in the compound then.

Now she's been crying over this and saying she doesn't know if he came inside her or not, or if she's contracted a disease or something, and that she never dreamt of losing her virginity in such manner. She said she trusts me and that's the reason why she told me so I can help her, but as her father doesn't know about this do I have anything to do in this

If this really happened on 16/06/2017, I'll advise she goes immediately to see a doctor (preferably in a government hospital) for proper medical counselling because that rapist may be infected with HIV/AIDS. If that's the case, the victim could still be subjected to PEP and she has a big chance of not getting infected.

I also think she should let her father know what happened even though she seems to have a father who is lion to his daughter. Does she not have any relationship with her mum too?

Offenders like this are not supposed to go scot-free. A 22-year-old rapist is bound to do worse as he grows, as such, he's a threat to the society and should be kept away from the public.

boiz2men:


He gave me doxycycline and a girl friend told me to use either nivea or jergens... My dear, I became darker. I have lightened up though since I installed ac in my apartment and my office is ac tight. But not as fair as I was. If I wasn't a doctor, I wouldn't care but I think my patients would trust my medical judgment/diagnosis more if my face was fresher and smoother.


Currently I don't use creams. I am scared of bleaching. All these girls esp Yoruba gals bleaching makes it horribly terrifying to try.

When you see tribalists, no matter their level of education, they'll still show forth what they've got. So sad

GoGreenNaija:


Unilag nko?

Well, I cannot say because I don't know what is obtainable in UNILAG as per students' reaction to things like this. I only mentioned OAU and UI because I am very familiar with those two varsities.

teefha:




Hmm, I think I prefer mls to bds but then what's bds cutoff last year?

That's very okay. Go after what you are most pleased and interested in. BMLS is a very awesome and highly prospective course too. I wish you God's best in your pursuit and I hope to have you in UI next year.

Regards

Ajet001:

Sir a friend of mine applied to MBBS last year(UI) but couldn't make it.


This year now he applied for dentistry and his aggregate is 68.8
Can he be sure of getting BDS. cos he is planning to change institution.i can't even tell him not to change cos the way people passed jamb this year is terryfying who knows cut-off mark might skyrocket 70+

And he doesn't want to risk UI again
Any advice sir.?

From your responses to those that have replied this, it looks to me your friend is too scared to go ahead with his initial choice. Like someone already advised, he may consider other schools or choose any of the less competitive courses in the College of Medicine or Faculty of Science.

teefha:

From what I wrote in my waec, I expect A1 in maths, A1 or B2 in chemistry, B2 or B3 in English, A1, B2 or B3 in biology and B3, C4 or C5 in physics

Do you like BDS at all?

Cc: lalastica

Imagine this? He is learning from some useless governors we have today.

Without any attempt to glorify any school, I am so confident that this crap cannot happen in two Nigerian schools at least; Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Ibadan. The scandal (as far as I am concerned) will consume that president immediately the news go public.

Very funny and hilarious. For many times I have seen this kind of thing, they are always not real but fabricated since NYSC won't listen to people who really want to relocate.

I even met a guy back then in camp who brought charms/orthodox medicine to back up a similar story but when we interacted closely, he confessed to me he made it all up to boost the chance of his relocation bid. Unfortunately, my guy wasn't relocated eventually despite all the evidences he presented before the relocation panel.

I cannot but weep for tertiary institutions in Oyo state. The current state leadership is the worst I have seen among equals lately; very insensitive, irresponsible and despondent when it comes to education matters and even beyond. History will always remember these democratic opportunists at the helms of affairs.

Let's ask Corps members

Rursh:
.
Thanks bro, you are very correct! Maybe it has changed I wouldn't know 'cos I learnt it is CHE 157 when I was still living inside UI or have they changed it?

Yes, some course codes were changed this year and some courses were broken down too into two.

CondomSir:


Weldon doc.

How abt we going for sciences(maths, stats, comp. sci, etc)? Do you have any idea abt what UI have for us in 100level

There are some variations depending on department. For instance, those in BMLS do all the courses I listed above (for BDS and MBBS) plus Mathematics and I think Computer Science/Statistics (not sure though).

Those in Computer Science don't take Chemistry and Zoology. Those in Chemistry will only do one Zoology course and one Physics course but plus Computer Science and Statistics.

So there are variations and I am not sure of what is exactly obtainable in the departments you mentioned.

Visit http://ui.edu.ng/hallsofresidence
I heard the halls are well maintained


Cc:Mr Dokitadave

Well, I have not been to all undergraduate halls of residence, especially the famale halls but the few male halls I have been to are fairly above average to rate.

There are about 3-4 students per room. The rooms are small though. I have been to quite a number of undergraduate halls of residence of federal universities and I'll tell you UI's are relatively better than some of them.

Note: You are charged N14,000 per session for a space in the UG halls.

Here Are The Reasons Given By The DSA OAU To Justify Hall Mosques' Closure
http://www.oaupeeps.com/2016/09/here-are-reasons-given-by-dsa-oau-to.html

Beautiful morning to you all.

I got your requests @holuwajobar and Ajet001

On a norm, I would have told you to exercise patience since you guys (the UI 2017/2018 freshmen) may not resume anytime earlier than late February or March, but I understand you can as well keep busy/whirl away time with getting prepared for the first year works.

For those that would come in for BDS & MBBS, there seems to be no too much work for the first semester of the first year.

You'll take the following courses:

CHE156 - Physical Chemistry 1
PHY102 - Introductory Mechanics and Properties of Matter
PHY103 - Introductory Heat and Thermodynamics
ZOO114 - Principles of Cell Biology and Genetics
ZOO116 - Introductory Invertebrate Zoology
GES107 - Reproductive Health: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Plus Chemistry, Physics and Zoology practicals.

For now, let me tell you the course content for CHE156, then maybe in some months time when you can assure me you are done dealing with EVERYTHING there, we may move on to others.

Topics in CHE156 include:
- Oxidation and Reduction/Electrochemistry
- Reaction Kinectics
- Atoms, Molecules and Intermolecular Forces
- Kinectics Theory
- Thermochemistry, Spontaneous Processes and Equilibria
- Acid, Base and Salts.

I hope this helps.
