Education › Re: We Will Review Appeal Court’s Ruling, Decide On Next Action – ASUU by Godseed: 9:00pm On Oct 07, 2022

duro4chang:
I understand you at the same time I am not praising the stupid government we have at all levels. If I say all is well, I am deceiving myself. My stand is that ASUU has taken it too far. They claim they are fighting for Nigerian students but to me it's not like that. Which sector in this country is well financed by the government? None. So whatever the government give, they should take it and move on

I'm glad there was at least one thing we could agree on.
Have a great weekend.

duro4chang:
You are twisting my words. I didn't not say what you just said now. But then I must also tell you that it's not all what we ask government that will be done at once. Some will not even be done at all

Just think about it a little more. We all have rights. I have my rights. To do what I want (not what you want) and when I want (not when you want it).
But, my rights end where yours begin.
I have every right to swing my hand freely but, that right ends just infront of your nose.

Believe me, I am angry with ASUU but the insincerity and disregard for future shown by our governments (I'm not just talking about education funding) is inexcusable.

Why not? ASUU has the right to ask whatever they want but then the government has the right to do what it has power to do.
We have the right to ask for amenities but the government has the right to do what it can do. We cannot say because the government does not build roads then we'll not travel again. Since we have been asking for road is it all the roads that have been built.

Sure. Say no more friend.
We are all witnesses of what you get when a government has rights that are divorced from the rights of the people that elected it.

No court will justify ASUU. What it is doing now is just a waste of time and resource. If they are not satisfied they should resign. They have taken the matter too far. If what they are asking is easy to be done the past administrations that value education would have granted them their request.

You are very correct sir!
Please tell them also that no one should ask for good roads, or stable electricity or even job creation. Those things "are not easy". If they were easy, past administrations that value them would have done them. If you as a Nigerian is not satisfied, renounce your citizenship.

MaryAye:
I met this guy where I normally get my fruits for biz. We got talking and exchanged contact.

He seems to be a nice guy but when I told him I had a son and narrated the circumstances behind his birth and my life, he told me he was cool with it.

Of lately, I noticed he talks ills of my son and assume it's a joke. I will try to shade it off but he repeated it again after the church service yesterday.

I'm considering giving him a chance because he's cool but his singular act of insulting and shouting at my son when he comes to my shop seem to disturb me.

Please, do you think his behaviour is a red flag or not?

EmmanuelBlaze04:
Albeit I haven't settled with any of these points,your first sentence(question) creeps me? Why?
You're the one convincing someone that a place exists, you're the one to show the proof it exists. His proof? His proof is that he hasn't seen it. It's just like someone telling you that a bridge made of gold is in Lagos, and as a young boy of ten years old,you countered that you do not believe it, only for the person to tell you the prove that you don't believe,whereas he is the one to show you the proof that it does exist. Or, someone told you that a car that melts like water is in London and you asked for proof only for him to ask for your own proof. Who needs to prove? Is he not the one that needs to convince you that there's a such car?
Secondly, you talked about brain. There have been accidents that the victims' brains burst out,there have been brain surgery. You can actually see a brain of someone that just got into a fatal accident. Pictures of people that were shot in the head are everywhere to confirm a brain does exist.
I am just stating the facts here,you can try to educate me if you think I am on the wrong path.

My dear friend, in sincerity you didn't get my point. Like I said earlier, it should not be surprising. Spirituality doesn't bend to logic.
One last word, it's not only what exists that you must prove. You need to prove what doesn't exist. That's what defence counsel do for wrongly accused persons. It's in knowing what is NOT, that we know what IS.
I leave you with Peace....

baba dodged the question. Religious people only believe in heaven and hell, they actually don't have concrete evidence of the existence.

PS: Of all the mentions I've received, none ever talked about my observation about the pastor. Rather they're all attacking left right and center. The pastor dodged question, those in my mention also dodged it. If you can't give me evidence, then you don't have to quote.

Can you provide evidence that there is NO heaven?
What am I even saying?
Can you even provide evidence you have a heart or brain? I mean YOU. Don't tell me about x-rays or MRI. Have you ever made visual contact with your own brain or heart? Don't tell me about dissection of cadavers. YOU are not the cadaver. Can you give me irrefutable proof you have a brain? Can you hold your brain in your hands to silence me?
But, I believe that you being healthy and normal, have not only heart and brain but also every other organ found in humans.
I believe. And you know what, YOU can only believe the same. You can't do any more than just believe.You know without any doubts you have these organs because you believe no human can survive without them. The realest things you have is from belief.
If you know you have a brain because you believe you have one, why do you find it impossible that I know there is heaven because I believe it?

The average Nigerian will not think twice about running down any national asset/project (no matter altruistic) for personal gain, no matter how short-sighted.

Even the two professors you mentioned would be ashamed of your debased thought process

Itohanmiwa:
The only way Nigerian educational system can improve is when we start having teachers who teach for the love of passing knowledge and this holds for all grades and level of educational institution, both from the primary to university level. These sets of lecturers we have now are so greedy that they can do anything to make money, even going as far as compromising their integrity and stooping so low as to collect bribes from student to pass them. I do not trust their motive as i have seen Prof Oorimogunje and Prof Ogunkoya of OAU Geography dept gone on to have very fulfilling careers and these two Profs you can tell are into it for the love of it. Since the advent of yahoo boys with cars on campus these lecturers have taken to persistent strike actions in a bid to force government to meet their demands and i can't help but wonder if they are trying to compete with these yahoo boys? If these lecturers think at all, they will know the country is in shambles right now economically and government meeting their demands at once will further plunge the country into untold hardship with the current increment in nearly all commodities by greedy Nigerians. ASUU should just call of it's strike action and dialogue with federal gov't as they can't bully Buhari into meeting their senseless demands. Before you criticize me go to any institution seek out 10 lecturers and ask them how they truly feel about the strike and you will find out at least 1 doesn't support the strike because they miss teaching. The students are the ones affected here not Federal Government.

Education › Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by Godseed: 12:40pm On Oct 25, 2021

It is academic sin if you cite a multi-author paper in such a way that it appears a single author paper, even when done in error.
Single author (Olu, 2003)
Two authors (Olu and Add 2003)
Three or more (Olu et al, 2003)

et al means and others. Even then this is only permitted in the body of the work. Your reference list should list all the contributors to the paper.
It might interest you to know that many reputable journal will not accept a single author manuscript. They expect good research to be multidisciplinary or at least require two good heads.

There might be variations but basics is the same.

Who owns the work? If you want to use the findings in your empirical, who would you quote? Want to learn more from your view.

Education › Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by Godseed: 12:20pm On Oct 25, 2021

I think your case is different from the OP. Your supervisor wanted to claim sole ownership. That is morally and professionally wrong. And punishable too. But in the case of the OP, this is an offer for co-authorship. That is standard practice world wide. The work does not belong to the student or supervisor ALONE. It's jointly owned.
The certification page simply attests that you actually carried out the research, collected original data and hopefully, you have learnt some skills in the process that your future employer or institution can bank on.
Oga, it does not mean you own the work.

meetme01:
You don't understand research work.

The researcher is the owner of the work and OP's name is attached to it has stated in the certification page (I certify that this research was carried out by .....) The supervisor can be sued for plagiarism and in a sane society, he would loose his lecturing job.

It once happened to me during my NYSC. I was doing my PGDE and my supervisor was interested in my research, he tried it with me. All I did was to send few lecturers to let him know, I'd take drastic actions. We later agreed to co-author the work which we both use.

OP, you are the researcher, your findings and recommendations is what you need to hold your supervisor's balls. Send close lecturers to him or the ex student to let them know if your work is plagiarised, you would take action(s)

sincerely i don't know what the problem is. I guess it is out of your inadequate understanding of how this works.
Like some rightly said to you, the project is not yours, unless of course you provided all of the following- the conceptualization, the identification of missing gaps in existing body of knowledge, definition of your own research objectives, study design, data collection, analysis of data, interpretation of data and discussion of how your results fit into and/or improve existing knowledge. I guess you probably only collected data and did some discussion (that i am sure will still need to be improved for it to be accepted by any reputable journal). Participation in at least one of the previously listed activities is also deemed as sufficient by many journals for a person to claim authorship. My point is, it is not your work. The work is jointly owned by you and your supervisor. He is simply being courteous by asking you to be involved in the process. Be grateful. We are always complaining that people don't do the right thing. Here is someone trying to do just that. Don't misinterpret it.

And please don't start that story about how you spent your money on the project. Research cost money. You spent money and you went away with a degree. No good thing comes cheap. It might interest you to know that journals don't accept funders of research (such as Bill and Melinda Gates foundation etc) as co-author on researches they funded. Research lives in a realm quite different from money's.

I may encourage you further by telling you that i know people who got jobs and/or studies offer abroad because they had a publication to their names. There are still places on earth where their value system have not been distorted by yahoo yahoo. Aspire higher, bros.

And by the way, as regards the contact of just your supervisor being on the paper, that means he is the correspondence author. There can only be, in most times, one correspondence author on a paper. It is not for fancy. It is about responsibility. Journal articles are peer-reviewed. There will be queries, disagreements and academic fireworks as to the relevance and usefulness of the research before it can be accepted for publication. The correspondence author faces the firing squad. Can you do that?

Did you say you want to publish on your own. It's possible. In a backyard journal. Most serious-minded journals will never look at the work of someone who does not have pedigree in the field. Another reason to be grateful to your supervisor, you are riding on his back to authorship. Even if you ever succeed in publishing in some journal, do you realise what you would have achieved? Yes, you would have become exactly what you are accusing your supervisor of -taking sole ownership for a jointly owned property.

It is well.

hilltop007:
My final year project supervisor called me to summarize my research work of 2 years for publication. He sent me a copy of one of his ex-student work that he published. It was only his ex student who did the work with guidance from my supervisor, but the published paper has two authors; my supervisor (main author) and his ex student. Only my supervisor's contact was also in the paper.

I strongly believe that's what he will also do with mine. Should I give him the go ahead? If I don't publish it, it will probably rot. Or is there a way for me to publish it myself?

There is no greater reality than what you have been told. Unless you are desperate to put the blame on someone or something else other than yourself.
Corporate organisations are looking for problem solvers not passengers.
"No vacancy" is really directed at common skills and the holders of such. Creative and innovative persons are sought after. It's not uncommon that a company is not even aware of what it is lacking until someone with the right skill sets comes along. Federal Republic of Egypt didn't know it needed a prime minister until a slave called Joseph showed up.
So I repeat those words of wisdom, "know your onions'.

Fundamentalist:
It depends on how you present yourself . I attended a state university by even PhD holders from so called federal university can't stand on the same podium with me . You need to know your onions and have self esteem. Don't ever think someone is better than you. A pharmacist students are been taught same curriculum nationwide

Waoh, Researcher! Kudos! But...

Forget about the quantity of water that fell or can fall. Have you ever asked yourself where water came from in the first instance? Oh simple you might say, combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. Correct but where did the hydrogen come from? How about what formed the oxygen? Maybe you know about protons, neutrons and electrons. But what really make a proton and its parts? Where did they come from? Where did it all begin?
Somehow you reminded me of a poem:

When I was a child, mountains were mountains, seas were seas.
When I became an adult, mountains were no longer mountains and seas were definitely not seas.
But now in old age, I have come to the conclusion that indeed mountains are mountains and seas are seas!

Think about it.
Think about what you even call yourself. A REsearcher.
You are searching out all over again what someone had previously searched. Ask those who have gone ahead of you, the uniform testimony is:
"Immortal, invisible! There is no searching of his understanding"

The power of science. Research Institutes and Universities are pioneering the drive of Corona Vaccines in developed nations.

In Nigeria, ASUU, ASUP etc are pioneering the drive for increase salary/wage, increase retirement etc.

#Weeping for Nigeria#

The etc. you left out is very important. Increased salary, increase in retirement age and increased funding to university.
Have you ever wondered why there is no effective vaccine for malaria after so many years despite the fact that it is arguably the worst killer disease? Why there is no vaccine for ebola despite its infectiousness and high mortality?
Can you guess?
Yes! You are right. It's because it's not the problem of the rich developed world. That also explains why there is no such rapid development in HIV vaccine. HIV is easily prevented by using a condom, an action which prevents another unwanted problem in the West: unplanned pregnancies. Talk of killing two birds with one stone.

Why is Coronavirus different? Why is the west interested? It's almost unpreventable, it afflicts rich and poor, class and crass.

Why is the vaccine development/breakthrough so rapid? Investment. Massive purposeful research investment towards that.

Research breakthroughs are not found on the pages of textbooks or inked on manuals. A computer science graduate once remarked that his professor never taught him how to write a program that Microsoft will pay for. My answer was why will I as a professor teach you that? If I know how to write one, I will patent it and make millions. I will never teach that in class!
Research breakthroughs arise from expensive, sustained funding of ideas. I know many of our institutions are corrupt. I can testify to that. But...
If you think universities where research samples in refrigerator get spoilt because of power outages can engage in this kind of research then there is a lot you need to know.
If you think academic departments that borrow paper from staff to print university examinations for students, can develop vaccine you are not being sincere.
If you think lecturers who often have to use their salaries to do small research in order to get promoted will now announce vaccine development breakthrough, you are not being fair.
If you think universities that run dry laboratories for students will be in top 100 world universities, you are a dreamer.

FG should "shut" the mouths of ASUU and co by increasing funding to tertiary education and then demand for results. Smaller African countries devote far substantial percentage of their annual budgets to education.

On the contrary sir, science does not disprove faith. I don't need evidence to believe in God. Similarly no evidence can shake my faith in Him. To be sincere, I might cease to be a Christian the very day science can prove the existence of God. Why? The summary of the Bible is that of a loving God that chooses to reveal Himself to mankind, not the other way round Deuteronomy 29:29.
I love science. I am a researcher myself. For me, research and scientific discovery is like a birthday boy being asked to search through the house for his presents that had been hidden by the fun-loving parents and siblings.
Science only strength my conviction in the existence of an incomprehensibly intelligent designer
