Ok. Thanks once again for this. CaptainGo: 1. No, vice chancellors of Nigerian universities are not elected by popular vote. Instead, they are appointed through a formal selection process. Here's how it typically works for Federal Universities:
1. Advertisement of Vacancy: The university publicly advertises the VC position when it becomes vacant.
2. Application & Shortlisting: Qualified candidates (usually senior professors) apply, and a shortlist is drawn.
3. Interview & Screening: The Governing Council of the university interviews the candidates.
4. Recommendation: The Council recommends three candidates (in order of merit) to the President of Nigeria, who is the Visitor to all federal universities.
5. Appointment: The President appoints one of the three as Vice Chancellor.
2. List of past vice chancellors of university of Calabar
1. Prof. Emmanuel A. Ayandele October 1975 to September 1981 2. Prof. Adamu N. Mohammed November 1981 to July 1986 3. Prof. Is a B. Mohammed July 1986 to July 1988 4. Prof. Charles E. Effiong October 1988 to November 1992 5. Prof. Solomon O. Unoh November 1992 to June 1995 6. Prof. Kevin M. Ogon Etta March 1996 to December 1999 7. Prof. Ivara Ejemot Esu January 2000 to August 2005 8. Prof. Bassey Okon Asuquo December 2005 to November 2010 9. Prof. James Epoke December 1, 2010 to November 30, 2015 10. Prof. Zana Akpagu December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2020 11. Prof. Florence Banku Obi December 1, 2020 till date |

Vice Challencors are elected and not appointed. You will indicate interest and start your campaign and will be voted for. also, thanks for clarification on the pioneer VC info, but after then, no one outside Cross River has been a VC. The tribalism there is on another level outside being a VC CaptainGo: Not true.
The pioneer VC of Unical was Yoruba. Professor Emmanuel Ayandele
Two Profs from Northern Nigeria have also been VC.
Also, VCs are appointed, not elected. |
Education › Re: UNICAL VC, Florence Obi Calls Out Dean And Provost Over Admission Scandal by Edet08(m): 4:27pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
This is wrong. She's from Northern Cross River (Atam) and not Igbo. Since inception, no non-Cross Rivieran has ever been elected as a VC, but there's been lots of DVCs from Igbo, Yoruba, etc Tflex01: Obi is the Vice Chancellor of University of Calabar but Iniobong can't become Vice Chancellor in Owerri lol
Yorubas in Lagos are taking the right step in curbing these inconsistencies. |

Culture › Re: Pyrates Confraternity Condemns Ethnic Clash In Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. by Edet08(m): 11:23am On Oct 12, 2022 |
PerkyJay: PRESS STATEMENT
*THE UNFORTUNATE CRISIS AT THE MECHANIC VILLAGE IN UYO, AKWA IBOM STATE*
The National Association of Seadogs - Pyrates Confraternity, Sancta Riviera Deck (Uyo Chapter) condemns in its entirety, the unfortunate clash at mechanic village in Uyo Local Government Area that led to the crisis of the 30th of September, 2022.
The said premises is known to host a large population of peoples from across Nigeria who deal on various spare parts and repairs of all sorts of vehicles, alongside indeginous people. The clash as revealed by investigations originated from a misunderstanding between an indeginous person and a non-indigene as to the use of space. It is said that the misunderstanding degenerated to heated arguments and an unfortunate infliction of bodily injury on one party, a situation that escalated a serious crisis which led to more injuries and wanton destruction of properties of immense value.
As an association committed to the fight against all forms of ethnicity and tribalism where it is deployed negatively, we are poised to respond to this ugly incident which tended towards ethnicity.
It is quite unsettling that at a time when we are supposed to be promoting unity and taking advantage of our collective uniqueness as a people, some unscrupulous elements are still pushing the frontiers of war inspired by ethnic/tribal sentiments.
While it may not be out of place for brothers to disagree, when such disagreements ferry along with it, biases upon tribe, colour or race, such repugnant tendencies must be immediately repudiated by all and not made a trend by bloggers/social media users.
As an association known for the promotion of humanistic ideals, we appeal to all those concerned to sheath their swords and seek ways to reconcile all differences. We believe in the oneness of all humans and that devoid race and creed we all bleed red.
We call on the management of the Mechanic Village to initiate the process of reopening the premises for full scale daily business while also evolving measures to mitigate the effects of the losses recorded by those directly affected.
While commending the effort of the security operatives who were on hand to calm the situation, we wish to appeal to the State Government to render support to those who have been negatively hit by the unfortunate circumstance.
We therefore call on all Nigerians to say no to all forms of ethnicity and tribalism, as it has for far too long proven moribund and counter-productive.
Hon. Michael Ekpo Capoon. Sancta Riviera Deck (Uyo Chapter) Until we see ourselves as one,there's no unity. We must attain a just and an egalitarian society. |

Imagine! Am looking at his back right now and I feel like stabbing him from behind. Bleep! all.
Some men are big time scumbags. Imagine, marriage that's not even up to a month. Imagine that bastard.
Sure, am moving house by month-end. Bleep all Randy men! Pray for your marriage bro. Pray that God will not let you or your wife fall into temptations. That He should sever you both from relationships that are aimed at separating you both. Pray that God should not let any of you listen to the lies and traps of the enemy. Always pray for your wife bro and she should do same too. A threefold chord cannot be easily broken. � |

Mizflo: Please I need your advice. I had created this account because I am well known here with my main account because I am always active and I want to remain anonymously.
Am 21 a single mum with 1 girl age 5 , her dad rejected me when I was pregnant he left when I was 4 months pregnant with her .
I had a difficult time growing up , my mum died when I was 8 years and my dad denied me claiming my mum had cheated on him and there’s no way I could be his daughter.
My aunty who was supposed to care for me had never bothered about me , she was always out leaving me in the house all alone without food , whenever I complains she will beat me telling me to go to my mum graveyard to ask her for assistance.
I have suffered in the hand of my aunty she didn’t care about my education if I have managed to complete my primary school till jss2 was thanks to this aunty who was a teacher at my school and a good friend of my mum , she sponsored me , And when I was 14 my aunty landlord kicked her out of the house because of rent arrears she said I am the enemy of progress she cant take me to her boyfriend house because he won’t accept me to stay there that I should go and look for a place , I cried and pleaded with her to take me along with her but she refuse I beg her to show me where my dad is she said he will not accept me because he hated my mum but I beg her to take me to him .
She took me to him it was my first time seeing him I looked just like him with one eye big one small but he insulted the hell out of us saying he will never accept me because my mum was a cheater she had so many boyfriends that I should ask her who my real father is but my aunty insisted that my mum had told her before she passed on that he was my dad even taught I resembled him still he denied and kicked us out like we were dogs I cried and my aunty was angry because of the insult so she left me all alone in the street but later came to me . Since that day my life situation has worsened because I was forced to stay with different people where I was being abused , my baby dad came as a guardian angel to my life he took care of everything i needed by promising me heaven on Earth I taught he will get me out of my hard situations but I was wrong i find out he was married with kids I was heartbroken because I didn’t want to live the same lifestyle as my mum had lived but history has repeated itself just like my mother had me with a married man but she knew he was married but me I didn’t know , but it was too late for me to moved on because I was already pregnant for him and I didn’t want to abort my baby I have decide to continue the relationship but when I was 4 months pregnant he left me and blocked me from all his contacts , this is the man that has never bothered to asked about his child for 5 years now..
My little girl dont even know her dad the same way I did not know mine until I was 14 which break my heart anytime I think about it.
My daughter and I are staying with my madam the lady tat I serve her for now 3 years but things here hasn’t been easy for us because my madam children don’t like me they keep accusing of things I don’t do like I stole their money , clothes and many more before my madam was telling them to stop with their bad attitudes towards me but I have noticed that whenever they had accused me she start getting angry with me sometimes we can go days without her not talking to me which I think I have overstayed and I am not longer wanted here I want to leave this house and to go and hustle but I feared for my daughter because I don’t want her to end up like me.
If I leave this house we will be on the street for a long time till I will be able to get somewhere else to stay with her also I don’t think I can give her the best education because if she stay with me she will end up being a teen mother just like I did something I don’t want to happen to her and I came across someone who’s willing to help me by taking care of my daughter to give her the best life something that I have always wanted for her , she promised to take care of her till university and she will give me the money to rent a room and start up business she said she will take things to the right direction like adoption but I don’t know how she will do it because I have no idea that I will have to sign up papers for agreement i have agreed because I think is really a good opportunity for me even taught I have accepted but sometimes I am getting worried about giving her my daughter I am having sleepless nights and thinking all nights.
I am just tired of living this life I didn’t ask to be born my parents created me and now I am suffering from their mistakes something I didn’t consented and I don’t want my daughter to suffer because of my mistake I think giving her up for adoption is a good thing , but I don’t know if I am doing the right things.
please no insult what is your advice for me.
Thanks Send me a DM |

My dear there are so many ways to satisfy a woman sexually and mind you every man has that one woman he can Bleep till she is out of cums. That a man bleeps a girl and gets tired quick without making the girl cum could signify their sexual incompatibility. Yea! Same way a girl has a guy that always bleeps her well to her satisfaction. Also, if due to unforeseen circumstances one finds himself in a relationship where the sex is not so satisfying, the man can always use his tongue to suck that cum out from wherever it is. The tongue is very powerful on the pussy you know! Suck the cum outta it’s hiding and trust me, that babe would be mad over the guy. Sixfeetbelle: That's why I pity men who want to marry virgins as a measure to hide their awful bedmatics. Women gossips about their sex life and before you know it, virgin wife will want to experience all these things but won't tell the husband cause 'she's a virgin and shouldn't know about those things'.

Romance › Re: My Fiance Is A 2-Minute Man & We Are Set To Do Our Introduction. Please Help by Edet08(m): 11:24pm On Jan 16, 2020 |
Miffia: Hi everyone... Good Afternoon
I will keep this brief and short.. Ignore any typographical error, please.
I have this boyfriend, we've been dating for years now. The thing is, he doesn't last long during sex, he's a 2 minutes man, as you people call it. There was a time, we had sex, less than 1 minute, yes, I mean less than a minute, just 3 or 4 thrusts and he released. He was shocked, sad and disappointed, I was shocked too. I was even the one cheering him up, not to be sad, that everything will be okay, that's not his fault, he just wore his cloth and left.
This is someone I want to marry, we will soon do our introduction and wedding, and I don't want our sex life to be boring, we are not enjoying s*x at all, and I don't want to cheat on him... We love each other so much.
Please, anybody that has experienced this before, or know how to stop it should advice me on what to do, its not making me happy neither is my boyfriend happy too
Your advice will be appreciated.. Thank You. My dear, if he’s your soulmate trust me he would last longer than that. With you he’s lasting 2 minutes but there’s some lady out there that he can last way above 30mins. Soulmates really do exist. I once had a girlfriend then whom I didn’t last up to 5mins. I thought I had a problem. But after we broke up, I dated this other girl and guess what? We had great sex. She too had great sex with her new date. At some point my new babe was always running out saying it’s too much. This always boasted my morale cause I knew what I used to go through with my ex. So you see, we all have our mates and truth be told, you guys are not meant to be. It’s your call to make. |

tunlex01: Points are calculated based on the point calculator on immi website. If you check, you will see that there are extra points for 190 and 491 visa.
Visit www.anzscosearch.com to read about the point system as well as state nominating your occupation.
You can create EOi with 75 points but may not be able to get ITA with that point as the last draw had 95 as minimu point for ITA. The chances that points will drop for 189 is almost zero cos DHA wants to push immigrants to the regional areas and not the congested cities.
So 190 and 491 is your best option, that's if your occupation is being nominated by any state. Thanks for the explanation. I get it now. |
Travel › Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by Edet08(m): 12:50pm On Dec 31, 2019 |
tunlex01: I'm not clear with your question. Can you rephrase? I want to understand how the points are calculated. From the points table I’m hoping to score 75 assuming I’m applying for 189. After assessment, do you mean that chances are points may drop or increase as the case may be before applying for the visa category 189? |
Travel › Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by Edet08(m): 5:04am On Dec 31, 2019*. Modified: 6:44am On Dec 31, 2019 |
tunlex01: Currently, only TAS and NT are nominating it for 491. Getting nomination from ACT is mostly not achievable due to their matrix system except you studied in ACT.
Please note that EA does not specify the type of skilled migration visa to apply for on your assessment outcome letter. When you have a positive assessment from EA approving all your years of experience, you can apply to any of these states for 491 but for 189, you will surely need more than 75 points. Have you submitted your application to EA already? Thanks for the feedback. I have not submitted my application yet. Still gathering my credentials. Please how are these other points achieved outside the points required to apply? |
Travel › Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by Edet08(m): 4:54pm On Dec 30, 2019 |
tunlex01: 65 is the benchmark for ITA for all visa subclass (189, 190 & 491) but since April 2019, points for 189 has increased to about 90. The least point that got 189 ITA in December had 90 points. There were 95 points (internal auditors and few IT roles) and 100 (accountants).
The other options are state nomination visa (190/491) but with several conditions and requirements per state. I am a graduate of mechanical engineering with 7 years on-the-job experience as a mechanical quality control inspector in the oil and gas construction industry. By next year I’d be 31years old. From the points table I hope to achieve 75points which is the requirement for ITA provided I can get a positive assessment from EA for 189. What are my chances like and what other category can I apply for? |
Travel › Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by Edet08(m): 2:06pm On Dec 30, 2019 |
tunlex01: 189 should not even be on your mind if you don't have points of up to 90 and above... Not even for an occupation like chemical engineering.
You could go for Chemist or Chemistry technician with Vetassess Good day to you. Please I’m sort of confused here! I thought for the 189 visa category one needed to score from 65 points? But here you mentioned from 90. |
