Education › Re: ABUAD Student Fights His Lecturer For Trying To Seize His Phone by HigherEd: 4:00pm On Oct 30, 2018*

adeniyi3971:
Only in Private Universities.

At least i still remember the case of the unilag lecturer whipping his students with cane. So gerrarahia.

And what is Afe101? What course is that? Don't tell me you ABUAD folks study Afe Babalola as a course grin

that would be beyond ridiculous.

And why is the class looking like a shrine huh

A university classroom should be very bright, well lit - That hall alone can make me fail a course. No wonder they are fighting. If that is Alfa Belgore hall then it needs a complete interior decor makeover.

Lastly, the lecturer should be suspended, likewise the student.

Seun:
Yes, for example, Numbers 21:8-9 below :-

The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

Exactly... Christianity is illogical, the bible is filled with illogical things but it is the Truth. I have also witnessed illogical personal testimonies. Our brain was designed to grasp the concepts that it was designed for. Your brain won't answer the questions of your faith.

When i speak to you as a Christian i am not appealing to your brain but to your spirit being. The natural laws that apply on planet earth do not apply on mars. Each world to his own Truth!

Socialism won't help us in this country. This program is also not sustainable in the long run. It would be far better if the money is used to empower entrepreneurs who can then employ people. Taking Nigerians out of poverty should be the aim, not feeding them.

I would rather give this money to Tony Elumelu's foundation to expand the reach of his program to take more people out of poverty.

abbey621:
Do we have technical universities in Nigeria? If so bring out their syllabus let's compare. My initial comparison was to the best universities in Nigeria when it comes to programming and the two names given were UniIlorin and Covenant. I can also show you the curriculum of Georgia State or Clayton State and they both still beat the best in Nigeria. It gets to a point when you realize syllabus matters just as much as the mode of teaching. A computer science student expected to pass 15 classes in the final year is a joke, there is no defense for it!

All i know is Covenant produces a lot of excellent developers home and abroad. Currently, we have quite a number working at Silicon Valley and i know they are excellent. I do not know whether they acquired their practical knowledge from school or elsewhere.
The issue of curriculum is an issue for all Nigerian programmes. We need to get to the point where universities are allowed to determine and design their own curriculum.

We care more about giving an impression than getting things done. "Balloon mentality" I term it.

Exactly, so i wonder why they are rejoicing. I don't see an employer giving preference to ABU graduates over Babcock or AUN so why are they rejoicing lol? Every sensible school is searching out ways to make her graduates competitive and relevant some are glorifying themselves in making theirs less competitive.

KEVIND:
This department according to a student simply identified as Austin usually prepares the minds of new intakes that it is not possible to have first class in Ahmadu Bello University. And if you work hard to finish with first class, just be ready to accept your second class upper because the rule here is it is not possible to graduate with a distinction.
In other words, first class is a no-go area for Art and Social Science students at Ahmadu Bello University.

When you deliberately withold first class degree you hamper people's chances of competing nationally and internationally for jobs, scholarships etc. Almost half of all graduates from Imperial graduate with first class, about 700 Oxford students graduated some 1 or 2 years ago. It doesn't make ABU better than those universities, does it?

And ABU has never been ranked best uni in Nigeria by any professional ranking body before.

The South West would be crucial to Atiku's Victory. My advise is for him to pick a proposed SGF from the South-West now and not wait till after election. If it doesn't break campaign rules, the picture of the proposed SGF should be included in the campaign posters/bill boards of Atiku/Obi situated particularly in the South West.

He needs to create a mental equivalence of the VP and SGF in the heart of every Yoruba man alive. There's a real risk for the South West in this election. If Buhari loses the SW and by extension the election, it would severely reduce the electoral value of the South West which would encourage other candidates to look elsewhere for alliances since the Osinbanjo presence couldn't win the Zone over for Buhari.

The South West is truly playing to the tune of advanced democracy where votes are issue based, but the zone is advised not to throw caution to the wind especially In a country where the other five zones are going to put ethnicity as a core motivation for voting.

This is why Nigeria is not growing.

Everything is moving to a particular side.

It is sponsored by Tony Elumelu, not federal govt of Nigeria, he does not owe anybody an explanation as to why the program is holding there. And moreover where would you rather have him take the program?

God!!! yet I spent nothing less than 1.5m for my twin girls per annum in this useless country. May God remember us ooh! Make the Liberian breeze blow reach naija Biko!

Please i hope you realise that Liberia's best university doesn't rank top 18,000 in the world university rankings. Despite a poor representation by private unis, the University of Liberia and other public schools are not even indexed at all. So if they did this badly with tuition fees, how would they fair without tuition?

A university ranked 18,000 below is definitely not doing any research, not even inferior one.
What then is the point of education if it isn't worth more than the paper it was printed on.

My advise to Liberia is for them to focus free qualititative education for primary and secondary schools while permitting people to work good jobs with their High School Certificate(e.g Banking, Telecoms etc) This would disincentive too many people from going to universities which would then allow them to provide top notch education for bright individuals to service specific professional sectors(e.g Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Law)

The trick isn't making it free but making it effective. Africa hasn't suffered from the lack of affordable universities as much as it has from innefective ones. Politicians do not tell people the truth and we the people largely misunderstand the concept of Universities.

Universities are to be solution providers, which in the process of proferring solutions produce graduates who can in turn mass produce solutions for challenges in the wider society. Therefore a university that does not produce solutions in itself is not qualified to be called an ivory tower because it would not produce relevant graduates.

The Harvard of today might be out of the reach of the poor but it has contributed to human development remarkably. As a matter of fact the expensive Harvard has helped the poor of Africa more than all the free instistutions in Africa combined...

I would rather have an expensive University that would produce drugs that would cure my poor African brethren of their ailments than the universities which gives them fake free education but shortens their life span with Stress.

While i am not against free education i am of the opinion that quality should not be sacrificed on the alter of affordability...

Kenekingisback:
Cost?
So that we can compare with new Onikan Stadium, Teslim Balogun or even Akure Township stadium.

Beyond the fact that ppl must 'chop' down the chain for govt projects which inflates cost massively, another factor is that Oyedepo does not use foreign contractors which makes his budget lower. In 1999 when Faith Tabernacle was going to be built, Julius Berger requested for some billions and 3 years duration to complete the project, that didn't sit down well with him - he simply called all church members who are architects, civil engnrs etc after a particular service. Many of them came, they did a quick interview, sent some home and put the rest to work. After one year they had their church completed with just 100 million naira spent.

Heard that in Rwanda, before you own a church you must get a degree in theology.... You must go to school but in Naija, we just hear something like I was called

Which theology degree did Paul have before entering christian ministry?.. Don't get me wrong pastors have to learn before entering ministerial assignment but how they learn it varies from ministeries to ministeries... Also the content of curriculum would also cause conflicts as many ministeries differ in their interpretation of scriptures.
