Anytime it is available is a carte blanche to make it never available, these books were paid for and it should be given to them as at when due. There are thousands of your students who don't have access to internet or just use it intermitently. Why should they bear an extra cost for Govt/School ineptitude. With that simple statement they are robbing millions of naira from the students.

well, if they don't have access to internet that is not NOUN wahala, because internet access is one of requirement for NOUN enrolment., and this is made clear during orientation, for instance all NOUN tutor mark assignment (TMA) which Cary 30% of total score are on-line base. Never the less i quite agreed that part of course material fee should be refund to students to cover printing cost.

Yes, this is the first time NOUN student will pay up to that amount, they usually pay betwen 20k to 30k for about 8 to 10 courses depends on credit units
there are some charge this time around
like
ICT fee N10,000
Library fee N3000
Reg N2,500

There is also slight increment in course material fees
2 units course now is N2000 instead of N1500
while 3 unit courses is N2500 instead of N2,000
exam is N1000 per course
so your friend might pay up to that if he reg for about 8 to 10 coures

Serendipity:
Are you in any vestige way trying to infer that the fifty thousand naira my friend said he paid was for course materials?

exam is N1000 per course

All those charges except reg. are not to be paid every semester

Hi OP,
Nice one. Here is one for you.

When you register for courses in The National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, the money for tuition and textbooks for that semester are collected from students. But the students are not all the textbooks they paid for, they might get 4 out of 7 with no refund at all. This has been going on for years.

Point of correction, like every other Federal Institutions NOUN students DO NOT PAY FOR TUITION FEE. We pay for courses materials and exam. so I doubt if the poster is a NOUN student.

About the issue of course materials (text book). There was a time Noun find it very difficult to run more than a semester in a year due to course materials problem, pioneer students can testify to this. We were told that, there are bottle necks in course material production. The management must following "DUE PROCESS" for awarding contract as it is in every Federal GOV. parastatal, which includes, Call for Tender, Bidding etc. this may take more than 6 months

The only option is to load the soft copies of these materials on-line for students to down load and we were told that, hard copies will be given any time they are available. with this simple move. NOUN students are preparing for second exam this year.

I am a student like yourself, i think loading course materials on NOUN e_ library is great, most of other universities (lecturers and students) are gradually adopting these materials as instructional aids because they were written by seasion expects carefully selected from different universities .

well its happen like that sometimes, but you have to watch the kind of friends you are moving with, if they are all married , married women will  always be in the midst of married men, So  maybe you need to give them a break for the main time and associate with younger ladies,
In think i have one or two more things to tell you if you can email me , gracejames1980@yahoo.com
goodluck

My candid advise to Nigeria Christians. If its confirmed that IBTC bank is the first bank to apply for Islamic banking license. All Christians should sell their shares and CLOSE THEIR ACCOUNT WITH IBTC BANK. to serve as warning to other Banks, So they want to use fund deposited both Muslims and Christians to fund Islamic banks never

Why should anybody be surprise with oshiomole behavior, he is one of those labour leaders that will mortgage the welfare of workers for their own aggrandizement. This is what happened during Tinubu versus Lagos workers tussle.

what do you expect ngozi to say, no be alhajis DOMINATE SENATE, Christians for years play free care role in Nigeria politic. They believe politics is dirty game which is truth but we need to be part of decision make to better  the lot of our people.i think  SOME ONE SHOULD ASK CBN WHY ARABIC IS WRITTEN ON NIGERIA Currencies

No doubt sanusi doesn't know what his doing, How can a reasonable person introduce ISLAMIC BANKING in a voilatile society like ours,
He should have call it non inerest banking and make to possible those feature,
if the plan success, All Nigeria banks are in serious problem because BOKO ARAM and other blood sucking Muslim fanastics will see them as christian banks.
These bank will be their next target instead of churches,
BUT ONE THING IS SURE, ISLAMIC BANKING WILL DIE A NATURAL DEATH

BinghiNya:
Okotie,

Why lose the respect you have built over the years with a flimsy reason. No one if forcing christians to patronize such banks. Christanity allows:

man-lover marriage
Drinking of Alcohol
Usury(Profit on loans)
Deceit(Trinity)
Chauvinism(God,Jesus) both males
Selfishness ( Sunday is work free, friday is not)
Women pastors contrary to the bible
Rapists masking as pastors, overseers et al


I am ready for your backlash.

hnm what about the violent? at least your religion allow you to kill anybody that is not accept islam,
i wonder  if you know  that all these husua trailer drivers where drukers, they will pore beer into plastic kettle ,
go to Oke 0koto In AGEGE LAGOS.  hause ladies prostitutes were there  in large numer,
So who is fooling who?

maasoap:
Who will tell these people to stop this nonsense of saying that Nigeria is a secular state? There are two officially recognised religions in this country, Christianity and Islam because govt spends heavily on them every year.
And Christians out there should not make mistake of seeing Christianity and Islam at the same level. The former provides little guidelines for its followers to live their lifes while the latter provides a comprehensive guidelines for its followers right from when the parents want to conceive to when you're gasping for your last breath, and everything in between (economy, sport, science, religion, politics and governance, courtship, marriage, eating, sleeping, and just anything you have words to describe, including WAR). May be when next time you people are writing new version, you should try and include all these aspects of life in your book because I could see a pure jealous.

hnm what about the violent? at least your religion allow you to kill anybody that is not accept islam, maybe we should add that to bible also
fool

Hnmm  this another mere propaganda, Islamic banking can never work in Nigeria , with level of Muslim intolerance,  i can bet you if Islamic banking is thrieving by now,  Boko Haram would have bombed all conventional banks (non islamic bank) in the country .

I can see the begining of Sanusi' dawnfall, wacth it out

WHEN ARABIC WAS BOLDLY WRITTEN ON OUR CURRENCIES FOR YEARS MUSLIMS COMMUNITY SEE NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT,

THEY ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT CHRISTIAN DOMINACY, IF THE PROJECT FAILS WHO WILL PAY BACK ALL THESE DONORS ( WORLD BANK, ADB ETC) OR ARE THEY FAHTER CHRISTMAN?
TIME SHALL TELL

What is wrong with these people? that is how they wrote Arabic on our currencies until recent, From all the argument, it shows that, there are hidden motive behind this Islamic banking of a thing,
You can see some calling cardinal a fool, the man must old enough to be his or HER ground father
I wonder if Islam is truly religion of peace as professes
when to me i believe ISLAMIC BAKING WILL DIE A NATURAL DEATH JUST LIKE THEIR PAST NUMEROUS MOVES,

Any time i remember how we treat our heroes both died and living this is the question that comes across my mind. Late Fawehinmi like many others used most of his life time to fight injustice. No doubt he was one of most respected human right activist. He was privileged but prefer to lived among less privilege, He was rich but spent is whole life to fight for poor and oppressed, He forth the evil regime of IBB and Abacha to stand still,
He died because he believed in Nigeria, according to his son, he refused to be flown abroad for medical treatment believed in Nigeria Doctors but they could not diagnose his sickness,until he was flew abroad but then it was too late
The same thing happened to his first son the young man is now permanently on wheel chair,
There was a time during military regime according to him, he has to move around with 3 things , his cup, brush and tooth paste. he believed that he can be arrested any time.

If Fawehinmi was from America he would have been another Marthin Luther King, But what does it get from all effort? nothing, He does not even remember to be immortalized. what a cruel nation,
His immediate consistency (the mass) refuse to give him befitting respect, all these and many more make me worry, if this nation truly worth of dieing for,

i understand your plight, it do happen, i have had such experienxe before, contact me if you think i can be of help 08023685964

andromida:
can a hardworking, jobless honest,responsible man marry a jobless, honest, responsible, hardworking lady??

Yes, evidence abound. what men need most in women are honesty,hardworking etc

politicians are taking us for ride, they are spending our resources on mere propaganda. for instance i don't reason   why anybody from Alimosho LG should vote for any AC candidate including Fashola,
Innocent citizen will be arrested because they are hawking, they will be detained in Black maria, it never happen during the military regime,
Ask fashola how many jobs he created for these people? they only employed their political thugs as KIA and LASMA,

Just imaging, a KIA graduate  total take home is N18,000 and most of their commander are school certificate drop out ( their core thugs). graduate will be forced to say"SIR" for school cert failure what a pity?

Aregbesola went to my Osun state (my state) begin to copy his formal master "fashola"  recruited 20,000 youth on total take home of N10,000 per month, these youth are own 2 months salaries as at now,

ACN politicians are as useless as their PDP counterparts,

why our press refuse to carry any negative things about these ACN politician ? i believe Tinubu has enough money to buy them up,

but must it be no1 criteria?, maybe that is the reason many of them remain single at 45

pc guru:
there's nothing wrong with that? if sm1 prays to God,if can pray to God that he wants to be Rich,i don't see any reason why a babe can't pray for a rich husband,the only problem i'll have is that if the Wealth is the Sole Criteria for marriage then yes i'd say that's Gold Digging,

but most girls make it one criteria, its common among them that there  guy must have ride, have good job blah,blah,blah

okay be sincere , if a rich guy come your way by chance today, will you marry him?

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=701582.msg8611929#msg8611929 date=1309306050]LOL----You funny. It's sha not a sin(bad thing) to be rich. That's all I know. [/quote]yes but it is morally wrong to be looking up and down for rich guy to marry

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=701582.msg8611893#msg8611893 date=1309305458]Now you're talking.[/quote]i think you done jam one rich guy of recent? lol

i think is the best advice a good parent can  give  to his or her daughter , this will be ringing like bell to the girl's hearing, she will not allow anyman to decieve her with money, you can marry a wealthy guy but that shouldnt be first criterial for partner selection

pc guru:
nogame didn't state that u shud marry someone with nothing he only stated his family gave advice on the kind of guy to marry.

thank you my brother

you should know what i mean if you are following this tread with whole hearthedly

well somebody that has nothing, if you care

the reason, they beleive the  man and his family will accord you deserve repect  if you start with him from scratch,  than marry somebody that is okay
