This is a clear indication they don't treat their students well at all if they could treat their parents this way

How do you want them to treat the parents? Should they rent gold throne coated in sparkling diamonds for them? Queuing is nothing new to civilized people. Diplomats even queued at the airport, conference center or the bathroom.

Some people will defend this and say "organized"

Crap

Na so dem dey queue for Havard, Oxford, Cambridge? And other way better universities globally?

Zombie thinzzzzz.

Dem wan share food for refugee camp?

Adcanced secondary school. Mcheew

this is ridiculous! even Cambridge university would not embarrass people in this manner.

Really u think it's about not passing Jamb Ur still in the dark luv....
If u had d money u would hv attended BU shaaaa... so No vex

It's about not passing jamb. It's ppl like you that suffer from inferiority complex. To you, BU is school for billionaires. impoverished thinking

Dongreat:
So because they pay 5M they go barge into the venue like some uncultured Apes? Have you wondered if this was done to make the process orderly, cultured and civilized. An average Nigerian is very rash and inpatient, so for you to see this means the people involved are understanding and get the idea of what's going on.

Typical Nigerians who think because he pay a bus fee deserve to sit in one seat and place his bags on the other.

dude why bother responding to animals? thats how your typical naija person reasons!!! they love chaos and orderliness is a foreign attribute to them.

hayam not Honda standing

OK. if you haven't attended any convocation outside Nigeria, at least you can google for pictures on it. But no, you must first of all insult yourself and your country men.

the rich parents were not complaining but the poor ones are here on nairalander to complain over something that has nothing to do with them.
the first question you should ask before complaining on their behalf is, what could be the reason behind the queue? it's​ probably, if not certain, has to do with security screening to ensure that no one with evil intention gain access into the venue to disrupt the activity. if this is true, which reasonable parent, considering the security situation in Nigeria will find it difficult to understand that what is being done is best in his/her interest? except the poor in brain and pocket.

LOL...
Sweery complex!?? Naaa
Neither is it a school for dullards... just saying.. the reason for the queue is for security reason..

You are speaking to a graduate of the university of Greenwich, England (BSc), Msc at Glasgow Caledonian university, Scotland. So I know what I am saying. To receive your award despite your millions on tuitions, you still have to QUEUE.

NeeKlaus:
Their wards are getting "quality education"; the type never seen in Federal Universities. So why should they worry?

Thank u bo

It shouldn't have been like that no matter the kind of order they wanted at the venue. Forget the amount they paid as tuition fee, they are guest that should have been treated with respect. Why ask parents to queue? They should have set order in a less degrading manner dude!

Tell them biko...

This is clearly embarrassing.

If they treat the parents like this, only God knows how they'll treat the students. The result of not passing jamb. Shebi if they passed jamb and gained admission into reputable federal University, their parents won't be suffering this humiliating and demeaning treatment

true talk

There are two major reason you queue for an occasion, orderliness and security. I haven't been to the uni to tell of its space but they are queuing for some reasons unknown to us. Despite your huge airline ticket, you still have to queue. Is the airplane ready? Yes, Are their adequate air staffs? Yes, so why should you still queue?

just look at tha ass on that woman in green. jisos

mmmm

Well this was done at the gate. Most likely so ppl can be conveyed by bus from the gate to the convocation hall. I think CU foes this too.

Dude, take a good look at that queue and think again. That was demeaning! By the way, my side job makes me attend different events. It is a taboo to make guests queue to enter a hall. If there's any reason for that to happen, a smaller space/hall is usually set up to take the crowd at once before sitting them in the main hall. This small hall( they like to stamp it as a cocktail lounge) is usually conducive such that the guests won't even realize they are filing.

This particular event organizers are tasteless. Whew!

Jump queue & pay 6months equivalent school fee

Mind you a that is the future of Nigeria in public places where everyone will have equal right and oportunities. A policy is about to be signed into law which will also prohibit anyone that jump queue in public places.

If u had d money u would hv attended BU shaaaa... so No vex

Don't you think you guys are saying the same thing?

I mean, he said passing jamb (intelligence/intellect) isnt the benchmark. You said it's cash. I think you pretty much corroborated his claim.

I guess you've got lots of cash.

I wish you the best

The Senate is proposing a 6 month jail term for anyone who jumps a queue. Say no to indiscipline.

Welcome to Nigeria where queueing is seen as demeaning.

If it's a taboo to make guest queue before entry then I am sad to say the security of the organizers is lacking.
Club (cocobar) that we go to buy drinks for ridiculous prices, and get turned down by ugly ladies, despite our money and fallen ego, we still have to queue.
Orderliness and security surpasses pleasing your guests. This is convocation and not lecture attendees. Please understand

Poverty is more reason why people attend public universities.
You should be praying for money so you can send your kid to private school instead of being jealous
