So truly, the lecturer intentionally failed the girl. That 45 is a pass mark. Good enough to make her not to have a carryover.

For postgraduates 45 is a fail. The minimum grade for them is a C not a D

Sometimes, as a Muslim, I find it hard to comment on these kind of threads. I feel most of the commentators have neither regards nor respect for their Muslim friends. They insult Muslims and Islam in equal measure.

They don't know that a significant percentage of Muslims (to be conservative, I'd say 80%) don't support, engage in, or advocate for underage marriage. We don't. But what can one do when the bride's parents consent to the whole thing?

They don't know the numerous sensitization campaigns and hundreds of man-hours dedicated to eradicate these and other related practices. But how could they when they don't even know how it all started?

Before condemning Islam and Muslims, one should ask why European, Asian or even Southern Nigerian Muslims don't practice these things.

These bunch of uneducated paedophiles .

Despite all the disdaining comments, you won't see them comment on this thread cos they are all guilty of this inhuman act.

To my fellow nairalanders who are muslims, i must say y'all are disapointments...i say this with NO appologies until you wake up and lead a protest in the north for this wickedness your religion has embeded in you....mtcheew, what an evil and wicked generation…

To y'all quoting me you are a shame to creation and the entire human race...unrepentant paedophilic imbeciles

Now I'm disappointed.

First, why generalize? Not all of us engage in, or support, this. But...

Second, who should we protest against? The bride's parents who consented to the wedding or the authorities who are powerless once parental consent is involved? Or the religious Sheikhs who provide religious backings?

While not trying to defend this in human act, I assure you that MOST Northerners don't support this. Even the illiterates among them.

Generalizations, however, don't help. At all.

Am learning a lot from this thread and everything is making so much sense. Am a Christian but always, i feel something is amiss in my religion just like every other religion out there. Someone once told me that life is a PUZZLE. It's pieces are scattered abroad. Every religion has a piece of the puzzle - a little piece of truth; while science in the other hand is the validator of truth. I have taught myself to have an open mind, once all the puzzles are brought together, you will then know that life is not as complex as it seems. Am following. keep it coming.

londonrivals:
President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as he turns 70 on November 25, 2016.
In a letter he personally signed, President Buhari said he was delighted to welcome Alhaji Abubakar "to the 70s club," and prayed that Allah would grant him "many more years of good health and service to Nigeria."

The President added: "Over the years, I have admired your courage and doggedness in defending your interests and your generosity in promoting education. The American University in Yola is one of your noble legacies, and my hope and wish is that it will endure."

President Buhari said both himself and the former Vice President should be grateful to Allah, who has granted them grace to be in the 70s club, and sends "kind personal regards."

A president who could personally sign letters congratulating politicians on their birthdays or their children's weddings but could not write even one to condole the families of our fallen soldiers.

Education › Re: A Prof Has Plagiarised My Research. by effyzie01(m): 2:46pm On Sep 18, 2016

Guitarlife:
Thanks for your time. But as I said, the prof did not include my name at all as part of the authors when he listed authors names in those sites.

Although the pdf uploaded bears my name but you will only notice that if you downloaded it.

If you just visited the sites you wont even see my name.

I understand, but still this could be a simple oversight from the site's administrators and not the Professor's fault. So please drop the plagiarism charge. It's too weighty. Thanks.

Effyzie01: Sir, what do you think about the OP's topic

Thanks for the mention, Mr Ayokunlei.

I think, as many informed comments here showed, the Op is getting it all wrong. If as the Op said the his article was only 'uploaded' in academic websites (by this perhaps he means the likes of researchgate and academia etc) and not republished, then it's not plagiarism. He should even thank the professor for exposing him to such platforms (which I prefer to call the clubs of academic elites).

The professor, being a co-author, has the right to list names of the other authors in whatever order he deems fit; whether his name first and the main author's last or the other way round.

I think the Op should also tread carefully. These kinds of soft accusations could land him in big troubles especially if he's in the academics.

Cunninlinguist:
I can relate with what the op said.
Having a sadist as a lecturer can be frustrating.During my schooling days, there was this lecturer that gave a whole new meaning to the word sadism.
Imagine in a class of 193,over 100 people got carry overs, seventy something got "E".There was only ONE "A" and one "B".Did it mean that in a class of almost 200 students,only 2 could pass with a good grade.
That wasn't the worst of it. If you see the number of people coming to write carry over, you would shit in your pants. Even the lecturers invigilating started grumbling about the huge number of Carry overs but my man no send.
Anyway his matter got to a head after much outcry by people and he was demoted to part time lecturer

Demoted? Which University is that? Demoting/dismissing a lecturer isn't that easy

Justice has been done to the question.

One thing, however, is that Universities are semi-autonomous and salaries vary from one to another but they all fall within the range stated in various replies up there.

Lecturing is a sweet job but not a lucrative one.

sure, you have.

Please, What does LI mean?
And again Sir, I saw the list of new post graduate students in my school, in some, they wrote (M.phil), in some, they wrote(M.phil/Ph.D conversion), and in some they wrote, (M.phil/ph.D protocol). Please, explain Sir.

LI stands for lecturer 1.

M.Phil is for candidates who are studying for a master of philosophy (an upgrade from an MSc but a step below a PhD). M.Phil/PhD protocol is for candidates who are studying for an MPhil leading to a PhD (due to not completely meeting up the admission requirements such as 4.00 CGPA) in the same field as their MSc. However, MPhil/PhD conversion is for candidates that are switching their area of specialisation.

Thanks bro

UI is light years ahead of any other university in Nigeria. It is an unwritten policy in my former department that a staff pursuing his/her PhD should only study in one of 3 places: Abroad (preferably UK), in the department or UI. We have about 8 PhDs who studied in UI (some for their MScs) and 4 of them are now professors. I was fortunate to have interacted and learned under the great Professor Osibanjo about 4 years back. Chemistry, everywhere, is simply awesome.

Effyzie01 -
boss, is a reader a senior to a professor? And how long does it take to become a professor after obtaing a ph.d. Thanks

Thanks bro.

No! A reader is otherwise called an associate professor. It is the last rank before becoming a professor. However, once a lecturer's professorial status is confirmed, it is usually backdated to take effect from the day s/he became an associate professor (reader).

Becoming a professor after obtaining a PhD is dependent on a lecturer's rank at the time and the school's promotion policies. Some schools (UDUS, for example, if s/he were an LI before the PhD) promote a lecturer to a senior lecturer status immediately after obtaining a PhD, this means he'd have six years waiting period before becoming professor (3 as a senior lecturer and 3 as a reader). On the other hand, one could serve a minimum of a 4-year waiting period and apply for professorship straight (skipping the readership stage)

In schools where accelerated promotion is still practised, a fresh PhD (usually a senior lecturer) could be promoted to a professor in just 3 years.

I hope I'm of help, brother

This is from Jaafar Jaafar's timeline on Facebook:

‪#‎EseMustLeaveKano‬
Human rights lawyer, Barrister Huwaila Muhammad, spent the whole day at the Zone 1 Police Headquarters in Kano yesterday, investigating Ese Oruru's case. She was there to seek justice for her and help reunite with her distraught family.
Huwaila, who had rare access to Ese and interacted with her for several hours, said the teenager spoke Hausa fluently. When I expressed doubt over the authenticity of the audio clip PREMIUM TIMES obtained, Huwaila confirmed to me that it was actually Ese's voice, and was recorded in her presence.
I had been on phone with this compassionate lawyer throughout the day, trying to come up with the true story, while at the same time our reporter in Kano was digging the case from another angle. I called a friend at the Criminal Investigation Department, the police spokespersons of Kano Police Command, the zonal headquarters and the Force Headquarters – all in the name of getting true picture of the saga.
That aside, as a matter of fact, I would have been more enraged than Ese's parents if my daughter eloped or abducted and taken to Bayelsa. No right-thinking Muslim would support forceful conversion to Islam. I will not even be happy if my matured daughter says she will remain a Muslim and relocate to Bayelsa.
What Ese's lover, Yunusa, did should not just stop at condemnation but prosecution. He should be charged to court forthwith for eloping with this teenager. He also deserves a jail term with hard labor for bringing Islam and Muslims under this severe attack. He should be slammed another jail term for making me restless, spending a whole day on a single story.
But it appears, for obvious bigotry, some people took the PUNCH story hook, line and sinker. For years, I know PUNCH does not have a reporter in Kano. The paper editorialized and noosed a warped opinion as NEWS! The emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, was unfairly defamed. The paper used the remaining muck it often use as ink to tarnish the image of the emir. Kano Emirate Council should sue PUNCH and other papers that brought the image of the emirate to disrepute. Leaving this grave allegation unchallenged will lead to more grievous allegations in future.
If PUNCH is serious, a reporter would have been despatched to Kano for proper investigation at the zonal police headquarters and the emir's palace.
But in spite Ese's insistence that she is not returning to Bayelsa, I hereby launch a campaign for her to be FORCEFULLY taken back to Bayelsa – and remain there FOREVER.
