Don't let northern starts reprisals attack on innocent southern staying in the north. Almajiri are still on the street, let security men settled this issue

You are a piss of sh*t. Go to hell.

It would take little to get southerners to leave the north west. The north west has little economic value anyway.

Lovely news..

This could backfire on him.

He is a Ceo of wakanow, a company with liberal investors and ideas

This remark is very dangerous for the company image.

This is something to keep private, nowadays, social justice warriors on Twitter and Facebook can not set the boundaries between a company, the CEO and his personal opinion.

See how he deleted it sharparly
He could have put it out there but in a far better way...

"We need to delink terrorism and crimes from ethnicity, geographical origins and religion—to isolate the criminals who use this interchange of arguments to hinder law enforcement efforts as the only way to deal effectively with them."


Stupid people. You simply can't delink terrorism from specific groups simply because you wish it so. Facts born of data are stubborn things. And available data suggests vast majority of the people who commits these cruel crimes are from specific groups.
The fulani as a tribe has a bad brand factually associated with kidnappings, rape, theft, land grab and genocide. You shouldn't be surprised that sane leaders down south want them out.

So it isn't by referendum any longer? it is now by FG using their might to establish a parallel justice system. Wow... Islam and intellectual error are like rice n beans, they blend well.

This is why no Nigerian would ever trust the federal government. Governance should be largely local.

Recently, the management of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State held an end-of-the-year parley with media men. On the occasion, the President/ Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ademola Tayo, spoke on a number of issues. Excerpts.

By Adesina Wahab
WHY celebrate the media


We have to celebrate journalists because they toil to keep the nation informed and they are also exposed to a lot of risks. A country that is not informed is going to be malformed. Journalists have helped to sustain democracy and keep us all on our toes. Conditions of journalists should be improved upon and they should have life insurance coverage. I would strongly suggest that their renumeration should also be better than it is now.

During the #EndSARS protest, despite the violence that was the order of the day in some parts of the country, I saw on TV how journalists were still going about, risking their lives, to let the people know what was happening. My only charge to journalists is that they should, in spite of all odds, uphold the truth, be fair and objective and not compromise their integrity.


What will be your focus now that you have been given a second term?

We are launching into areas we have not touched before. We are going into areas such as environmental science, engineering, e-learning among others. The National Universities Commission, NUC, has reached out to us that we should launch our e-learning facilities and we are doing that soon. I was in a university in South Africa some years back and my mind was blown off when I saw over 100,000 students on their e-learning platform. We are also working on getting Wi-Fi to be all over our campus. We want to use technology to drive education. We have already laid fibre optics cables on campus.


READ ALSOWe haven’t abandoned corps members positive for COVID-19 – NYSC
How did you cope with COVID-19 pandemic?

The mark of a great institution is the ability to navigate through difficulties and still stand. When it came, we decided that the challenge should not define us but that we are the ones to define the challenge. We were among the first set of universities to hold online graduation. We are online now and we are almost finishing the first semester of the 2020/21 session. Our ICT guys are great. Our molecular laboratory is one of the best. Recently, we spent over N100 million on it. The National Centre for Disease Control will soon be here to assess it. We can do COVID-19 test, Lassa Fever test among others. Our medical students would soon write their final exams.


Students enrolment

God has been good to us. In the last two years, we have been the most subscribed private university. This year, we would have concluded our admission procedures but because COVID-19 affected WAEC and NECO exams, we were told to hold on for now. We have more students applying to study here than our carriage capacity.

Should TETfund support private universities?

I am an active member of the Committee of Vice Chancellors both in private and public ones and I know what obtain in those committees. There was an enabling Act that set up the Fund, there were no private universities then. The law has to be amended. If private universities are also producing for the Nigerian nation, why shouldn’t we benefit? It is political and we need to be careful about it. At Babcock University we don’t want anything that can soil our hands. A situation whereby an agency will give you money and demand something before doing that or somebody would want to dabble into a matter that does not concern him, is not condoned here.


Future of education in Nigeria

I am an incurable optimist. If Sola Akinlade and Ezra Olubi could come from Nigeria and are doing exploits globally, there is a bright future. It is only that the government should do their part of pumping enough money into education, things will be better.

MANS threat to shut down private universities

As a responsible parent and stakeholder, some things impressed me. The way our youths conducted themselves during the #EndSARS protest impressed me a lot. Students in public universities are not destructive. The threat was borne out of veiled frustration. When public universities are shut down because of strike, we all lose. Private universities are not happy when public ones are shut down. Private universities collaborate with public ones and when that does not happen, we all lose out.

2020 .... Has been a year like no other, a year where the only winner is China.... A year where communism, socialism, leftism, wokesm has defeat capitalism, open market, democracy, freedom of speech and expression, individualism.
This has been a year where the world health organization has failed the world by conniving with a communist china to infect the entire world with a deadly pandemic and also misinformed the entire of the dangers of this pandemic creating fear in the development of vaccine through the various media houses such as CNN BBC etc...... A year where media houses with WHO doubted the development of a vaccine within this year as dangerous and harmful and now that they have succeeded in their mission, they are now telling us to take this dangerous and harmful vaccine.
A year where china created the virus but everyone decided to blame it on Donald Trump.
A year where the only growing economy in the world is China.
A year where all the world leaders have decided to lock down their economy and feeding on their reserve.... Leaving only china to be the only growing economy and the only major lender.......... This inturn will have a devastating effect on the world as everyone will be dependent on china including Europe and America.
A year where America has failed the world by moving towards socialism and communism.( These are the two evil words that America in indeed free world has fought against throughout in history from world war 1&2 to Korea and Vietnam war to Iraq war, loosing thousand of Americans lives in order to restore democracy and freedom to other countries) and now china is collaborating with the democrat party to reintroduce socialism and communism back to America. In democrat states such as new York and California, there is an active law to enforce equal opportunity, equal outcome concept,..... That is why there is heavy tax on private businesses and rich individuals in order to render them poor at the expense of the state and large government..... As a result of this large industries are running away from silicon valley and new York to Republican run state like Texas or outside united States.......... Infact in my seminar presentation I clearly states that the death of silicon valley and new York City will coincide with china emerging as a global economy power House ahead of USA.
2020 is also a year of wokesm, elusional racism fight and hate speeches, return our conscience back to 1920s.... Black lives matter, kneeling and fist pumping with hateful messages and anti police slogan.... A year of lawlessness.
A year of opposition by government to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, freedom of thought and opinion.... A year that the world has forgo her freedom.

A year where my beautiful game of football has been destroy by wokesm, hypocritical taking of knee and pumping of fist, VAR, black lives matter and political messages, LBGT, Corona virus...... the focus is no more on football But on political messages...... Right now I am finding it hard to watch football.

A year where by globalism is considered ahead of a passionate patriotic nationalism...... Such that a leader like Trump who loves his nation and want good things for his country by bringing America job from china and giving it back to American people and improving the economy of America before Corona virus was booted out for Biden, a less loved leader, who doesn't care about American people but global political correctness.


If this kind of year is repeated again, I swear, the identity of the world will change for ever.

God, I bless you for this.

CodeTemplar:
A govt that hardly thinks before acting.

I tell you

Similar to that of Covenant.
I would like to know how much was budgeted for this nsukka own.

Naija stock market lol

Lmao. ASUU, the union that deals with FG. It's unfortunate that medical associations can't use ASUU model, less people would die.

But I must tell you that comparative to healthcare, education is well funded due to the many concessions govt has made.

Karleb:
If I can't differentiate between transitive and intransitive verb, can you differentiate between Purine and Pyrimidine?


Bullshit!

As in ehn. Education is so broad that even a professor can't accumulate more than 2% of information available. You can't just go and pick one random subtopic from somewhere and use it to be harrasing people

EBMedia:
We have graduates who do not know the place and import of prepositions in grammar; graduates who do not know the use of adjectives and adverbs; graduates who do not know the place of agreement of nouns and number; graduates who do not know the import of adjectival and adverbial clauses.

There are graduates who do not know the difference between Tropics of Cancer and Tropics of Capricorn. There are those who do not know Magellan line, that is, the line that divides the earth into two.

Lalasticlala

Lol what is this

English proficiency isn't education. It is just one out of many very useful languages.
If you aren't a journalist, editor or an english academic, it is perfectly understandable that your knowledge of the language is common and not exceptionally professional. Just be able to write and communicate effectively without gaffing.

If I am not wrong, folks studying language still study adjectives, adverbs into their postgraduate levels.

As for geography. Perhaps I was taught about tropics of cancer, capricorn in secondary school, and my brain has simply relegated that information or it wasn't relatable enough to remember. But I find it funny the suggestion that inability to remember some topic in geography makes my entire education 'dangerous'.

If I rolled out an on the spot test in SSCE Biology, many of today's lecturers (including the OP) who aren't within the sciences would fail it woefully. And accessors would still agree I never crossed into higher education biology with the test.

Charlie2020:
At this digital age, sending transcripts shouldn't be a rocket science. So CU sends transcripts without date of graduation. That American University will be wondering what type of University is this Nigerian University. Even in days of analogue/physical transmission, it doest take that long to send transcripts from one University in one continent to another

Transcript is just an academic record.
Your certificates should carry dates.

ThatCEO:
Ehen, and I still teach your first class computer science how to code?

Local champion,. Nobody cares about your dead school. Most of our Nigerian schools are dead anyways.

At least CU has nice paint job...I give u that

Lol you are so pained and trying so hard to seem petty. You should blame your computer science curriculum mandated by nuc for all universities.
The top of my company's programmers are mostly from CU. In fact we have a preference for them.

What your organization needs is a better functioning HR. If you are employing people whose skills don't match organizational need then you are working for a mumu company with a clueless leadership.

ThatCEO:
Keep fooling yourself. I graduated from FUTA in 2012. I don't need to leave my room before I send my transcript worldwide with remita payment getaway. Celebrating mediocrity. Because she graduated long ago, she don't deserve a transcript.

Don't be a sule.
If you request for electronic transcript from cu, it would be sent in 24 hours. Your FUTA is a third world school compared to cu.

Farki:
Hubris galore!

The main issue with public universities is their funding problems, yet even when going to a private university and paying millions we still had to go to public universities to use their equipment for research.

People who are so blinded by their own self righteousness that they don't accept anything that isn't supplication to their alma mater.

That is your private university. In covenant we don't borrow equipment.

abnot:
It’s an image saving response. It shouldn’t take any organisation more than 2-3 days to process a transcript request. I sent such request recently to my former uni and transcript was electronically transmitted to WES within 24hours with a response from the university. In Nigeria people just complicate simple issues

What are you talking about boboyi.

You can get your transcript sent electronically within 48 hours from Covenant.
Some varsities do request for hardcody mails. And takes a week and a few days max

sonofElElyon:


Your coinage?

Serpentine I know, but Serpentatious

Ah lol.
If matter enter my body I reformulate English to convey the message ni.

shogsmania:
Your phone no get Google ni,a simple search will clear your mind fa

Don't grandstand on what you don't know. She paid less than 500k sef.

shogsmania:
If I paid 15k as school fees i wouldn't go crazy if something like this happened but you don't collect a cool mill from someone yearly as school fees and then hold on to their transcripts

And who held on to her transcript!?

bakol:
This school is indeed a glorified secondary school.

Transcript processing even in public federal universities are ways easier than the bureaucratic processes listed above.

Certificates are supposed to be ready as soon as convocation is done.

She didn't collect hers doesn't mean it isn't available.

shogsmania:
Covenant is an excuse for am higher institution ,oga no be only you go covenant we know many of their alumni and they all have something bad to say about the school

There are 72 private universities in Nigeria. At least 68 of them are desperately looking for students.

At least 50 are either equal or cheaper than Covenant in tuition fees.

Transferring from Covenant to another school is very easy.

So if they hated it that much they should have left.

Heartlessbanker:
you know me sir! It's me, futurist.

OK how do I know you?

DamZik:
So you people believe that flimsy reason of name mismatch is enough to take the school six (6) months to sort out. I can assure you, if VC's daughter has the same challenge, it won't take the school up to six (6) to sort it out. I love everything that has to do with Oyedepo but I don't like this issue of sluggishness from CU. In the timeline of events above, look at the wide gaps between the dates. Who does that in a sane country?

Where you see six months

First of. Many graduates of Covenant University have gone on to far higher ranked universities, even ivy leagues and I haven't heard anyone complain about dated transcripts.

Transcript is just an academic record. The certificate carries the date. She should have requested both at the same time to avoid nonsensical delays.

I graduated in 2015 and I have gone to collect my certificate in 2016 when the University reminded us to come and collect it. How can you graduate in 2013 and be looking for who to tension in 2020.

When I requested my transcript from Covenant to a university in Canada, it took less than a week to get there. It happened same as hers.

Study the timeline again.
Covenant responded and acted within 1 or 2 days anytime she supplies the required document.

Take at look at Timeline again and see this part

Dec 14 - CUALA confirms to her that both the CTC and signed letter have been sent to the mail room and are ready for dispatch. She acknowledges and thanks CUALA for the help.

Dec 15 - Viral video is released of her calling out CU and complaining that her transcript wasn’t processed

The issue had been resolved before she took that video!


Now again, if she wanted to call them out all she needed to do was send a message in the closed social media group first, where all officials responsible are also present and get speedy response.

Abeg na she know.
