EducationSacking Of 49 UNILORIN Lecturers Regrettable – Ex-vc. by SaintRobs(op): 8:39pm On Dec 03, 2014
Sacking Of 49 UNILORIN Lecturers Regrettable – Ex-VC
December 3, 2014 8:19 pm
Immediate past chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Prof Shuaib AbdulRaheem, has regretted some of his actions during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), particularly the widely publicized issue of the sacked 49 lecturers of the institution.
The Supreme Court reinstated the sacked lecturers in 2009 eight years after the then VC approved their disengagement from the institution.
Prof AbdulRaheem, who is also a governorship aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state, spoke to reporters in Ilorin, the state capital.
The professor of literature, who likened himself to a pediatrician, added that everybody had learnt his mistakes in the saga
He said; “And you will find out that since all of those years there hasn’t been any such crisis. No Vice Chancellor has come to face the kind of crisis I faced because everybody has learnt their mistakes. So it is good that it happened but it is regrettable that lives have been stagnated because of that, but again, the reversal has healed the wounds and I hope it will help to heal the wounds by stopping people to refer to that and make them look at the positive things that came out of that disagreement.
“The issue of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) is a past event, but of course, because it affected human beings it will continue to recur. It is only the negative mind that focuses on the negative things. Human being live and learn every day, we had cause to disagree with those gentlemen not because it was personal it was in defence of the institution to which we had sworn to uphold its integrity.
“If along the line something happened and some people had to be sacrificed momentarily that was not borne out of my personal animosity or anger at them it was because that what the regulations of the university showed me at the time.
“But the law of the land reversed that. So one minus one is zero, they got one we got one. In any case they are back at work and they are still doing well. In fact, they found a more peaceable conducive environment for themselves to live together with others.
“If you say somebody was hurt I compare my public posture with that of a pediatrician who cares for babies, to whom ten mothers have brought sick children and he has applied his skills to cure nine then one died and the mother goes haywire and says the world is going to fall apart. For me, I don’t see that as a problem.
“I am grateful I have been able to cure nine, so inevitably one had to die. Sometimes we win some and lose some that is what life is all about. Don’t let us keep going all over to the past especially the negative parts of the past. That is my take on the UNILORIN saga”.

EducationRe: 10 Most Annoying Nigerian Media English Expressions. by SaintRobs(op): 11:22pm On Nov 25, 2014
5.“Names withheld.” This expression rankles me to no end. It’s not only unprofessional and irresponsible journalism to habitually conceal the identity of the subjects you are writing about (as in, “a south-south governor in an oil-rich state [names withheld] is involved in a corruption scandal”); it’s also exasperatingly redundant to state that you have withheld the name of someone whose name you have not mentioned anyway! It is obvious to any reader that a name has been withheld if it’s not mentioned. But what is particularly irksome about this practice is that it is used even in reporting stories of crucial public importance.

If reporters and editors are not prepared to name names, even where it is legally and ethically safe to do so, why waste ink and space to opaquely hint at them? But the bad news for editors and reporters who practice this imbecilic and feeble-minded journalism is that, in media law, not directly mentioning the name of a person or an organization is not sufficient safeguard against legal liability. If a person or a company can prove that there is sufficient material basis for “right-thinking” members of the society to infer that they are the object of a libelous newspaper innuendo, the paper is in the soup.

6.“Electioneering campaign:” “Electioneering” and “political campaign” mean the same thing. So “electioneering campaign” is tautologous. It’s either electioneering or campaign.

7.“Our story is true in every material particular:” The phrase “in every material particular” is an archaic legal jargon. It is not used in everyday English in any native variety of the English language.

8.“Yesteryears:” This old-fashioned word, which is sometimes used for literary effects, has no plural in both the British and American varieties of Standard English. It remains “yesteryear” whether it’s in the singular or plural form. Another word that Nigerian newspapers—and by extension Nigerian speakers of the English language—pluralize against conventional practice is “slang.” The plural is often rendered as “slangs” in Nigeria. In Standard English, however, the plural form of slang does not take an “s”; it is often rendered as “slang expressions.”

9.“A free-for-all fight:” This tautologic expression is probably a consequence of the misrecognition of the part of speech of “free-for-all.” It is a noun, not an adjective, and cannot modify another noun. It means a brawl, a noisy fight in a crowd. So it is sufficient to simply write that there was a free-for-all without adding “fight.”

10. “Not unconnected with:” This expression is not grammatically wrong but is hopelessly hackneyed and pretentious. George Orwell once urged us to laugh the not un- formation out of existence by memorizing this sentence:“A not unblack dog was chasing a not unsmall rabbit across a not ungreen field.
