Shocker: Nigerian University where students
defecate in the open

Widespread anomie prevalent in Nigeria,
occasioned by a virtual dilapidation of the societal
ethical and moral framework, has literally
squelched any social appetite for comparative
sociological analysis of any segment of the
Nigerian society and a corresponding segment of
any foreign country even if that country is Somalia
.
Any such study invariably ends as an exercise in
rendition of woes, lamentations and pity. Our
country once mighty have fallen and is falling. The
decay is systemic and deep-seated and
widespread .
Our political system is heavily infected by
corruption and the educational system is
strangulated by poor funding. But our education
suffers from much more. Teachers groan and
moan, deride politicians and claim moral
indignation but they are equally culpable for the rot
that has beset us.
The university of Ghana and the University of
Nigeria have so much in common besides being
named after their respective countries. They were
both conceived during the colonial era and they
have main campuses located on hills, Legon and
Nsukka . Both have very large student population
of between 35000 and 38000. They have regional
reputations and have produced high quality
graduates who have played great roles in their
societies.
A brief stay in each university last year afforded
me an opportunity to reflect on the two societies
through those institutions . In Legon, it was an
experience of efficiency, culture and aesthetics. All
buildings were painted and all were white and all
had red roofs and all windows black.
Flowers and hedges were manicured and trees
added beauty to the environment. Order was
evident and everything showed agelessness
because the new and the old abided by a laid
down code. The library was quaint but noiseless,
lacked modern books but had good ambience.
The hostels showed they have not lacked care and
the newer ones were quite modern. But whether
old or new , modern or ancient the colour codes
were maintained and all the roofs were red. The
Guest house was sparsely furnished but functional
and had good landscaping . Order and serenity
were evident. The internet wifi system was good.
Nsukka was a different experience. A multitude of
Uncompleted projects littered everywhere, grasses
had
Turned to bushes and hedges were untrammeled,
free and wild. Many buildings were pale, washed
and battered. Hostels were in shambles .The Enugu
campus that houses faculties of Law and Medicine
has no pipe borne water. The state of the toilet
facilities in Enugu campus can only be imagined. A
chat with some female students of that campus
revealed that students have buckets for defecating...
They defecate in the open...WITH TAMPONS...lol... along the toilet
corridor,many at a time, facing themselves, into
buckets and hurl the contents afterward into the
toilet Bowls, leaving trails of feces for the cleaners
who come when they wish to effect as much
cleaning as they can. The buckets are
subsequently rinsed with scarce water ,which they
have to buy , and kept in the rooms until when
again needed....lol Those who cannot stand the bucket
idea defecate into polythene bags and fling them
onto a heap behind the hostels....lolington
That heap has survived generations...OJUKWU SHIT TOO DEY INSIDE . Its pathetic.
An Alumni exists but the atrocity has persisted.
The Vice chancellors residence is state of the art,
new. The vice chancellor has managed to
ensconce himself in five star comfort while
students are dehumanized . Dont ask me who is
being groomed there. Perhaps pit toilets , since
they cannot have water, may actually restore some
dignity.
Its that bad. Students learning early how to be
wild...IT IS A CULTURE HANDED THAN FROM GEN TO GEN.... The school’s internet network system
functions so abysmally slowly that I could not use
it . Lecturers and students can hardly do
meaningful online researches in that remote
location. A senior lecturer told me she sends
articles to foreign journals using her blackberry
phone. That is the story of Nigeria .
And ironically the school’s motto reads: To restore
the dignity of man. Ghanas 2015 budget is 50
percent donor funded, Nigeria is rich and lives on
her own money. Legon is to a great extent
insulated from political and local administrative
changes because Legon has a tradition.
A tradition that all must follow. That entrenched
tradition is the institution. So while projects in
Legon are completed before others are started, and
buildings are repainted yearly, Nsukka is a picture
of haphazardness and planlessness. An
environment of order and good tradition will
culture , nurture and instill order and virtue in
young minds but if you sow disorder , you will
reap disorder.
Often Nigerian academics sneer at the politicians
claiming they are superficial, flimsy, selfish,
shortsighted and wasteful. But Nsukka indicts Our
academics.And Its not just about funding. And
Nsukka is not alone ,other public universities are
perhaps worse. Nsukka is a reflection of our
society .University of Ghana indicts all of us. And
we shamelessly now troop there in droves in
search of better tertiary education for our children.

Silkmoth33:
Why you dey ask the jambite.
He never get admission to study in a tertiary institution yet and he has the guts to call my school over-rated.

His suggestions only serve to derail you.

Guy wetin I do u na? na crime to be jambite you were once a jambite

Is the water clean? Water seems to be the only thing linking all the students apart from air. Is the staff quarters also affected?

If the water isnt clear, the civil eng'g dept ( that studies the dam, water and wastewater treatment plants) should be made use of.

If the water is a little unclear/ cloudy, they should check for alum overdose. They can carry out jar tests if necessary. If alum is overdosed in water, the coagulation doesn't settle well, hence the unclear water. Alum is a sulphate and in large quanites can cause sickness in those who consume the water.

If its the alum dosage then its a double jeopardy cos alum is being wasted with its overdose causing sickness. The guys at the dam can quickly rectify this though.
