Education › Re: Top 5 Universities With Terrible Postgraduate Programmes by sakbio(m): 7:07pm On Mar 09, 2017 |
This is a good write up especially the so called Oba Awon University, a lot of unnecessary thing such as filling and correction of form A-K, I ave bn asking question dt I neva gotten any answer, what is relevance of those forms to the award of msc or PhD rather than frustrating students, imagine only form A, u can use up to 3 months. The duration of master program in Oau, why 4 semesters when universities made their 3 and the lecturers wil intentionally extend it to 6 semesters, or advice to obtain another form. I pray they shud change, OAU need to emulate Premier university and Unilorin. Apart from all these, OAU is the best university for post graduate program, friendly sch fees payment, infrastructure, good library etc fratermathy p
ost=54299548: Many Nigerian graduates are rushing to get postgraduate education nowadays mostly due to the lack of jobs. It is believed that a Masters degree will better the chances of getting a good job. A few others undertake PG programmes in order to enter into the academic path as it is known that the minimum requirement for employment into many tertiary institutions in the country is a Masters degree. Because of this, many Nigerian universities have witnessed a surge in the number of applicants for PG programmes. Youths are rushing to various schools for PG programmes and it becomes necessary to inform the students of what they are to expect in the various schools in the country. I have already covered the list of best universities for PG programmes in Nigeria before. I think it is right to inform prospective PG students of the schools to be "cautious" of if they want to graduate on time. Not everyone can go to the "ivy-league" institutions for PG study in Nigeria due to various factors.
I am not trying to spoil the reputation of any school here because, as we all know, many of these schools have internal issues and policy issues that affect the students. So if your school or alma mater is mentioned, don't take it the wrong way but try to evaluate the cause so that suggestions can be made to make things better. In compiling this list, I considered a few factors such as duration of study and graduation, infrastructure, library resources, staff-student ratio, among others. I relied heavily on personal research and opinions. I also interviewed with some persons studying in these schools in order to get their experiences. I have also been to some of the universities on my list at a point or another before now. The aim of compiling this list is basically to draw attention to the issues that they have so that the universities can seat up and make the plight of students better. We should also proffer working solutions to the problems identified in this list. I can't take all the universities since there are so many with issues so I focused more on regional varsities with many applicants. Below is the list:
1. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State This school was established in 1961 as a regional university for the South West of Nigeria. It is considered by many as one of the best universities in the country for undergraduate studies. This first generation university has a wide variety of alumni members and has played important roles in training some of Nigeria's academic, scientists, writers, and aristocrats. However, its postgraduate programme is quite the opposite of what obtains at the undergraduate level. Let us look at some of the issues this university faces:
i. Incessant strike actions by staff and students: The university is regarded as the centre of "aluta" in Nigeria. Staff and students know their rights and don't hesitate to close down the entire school to assert it. At its worst, there are more than 3 strikes a year and whenever they occur, students go home and any form of research halts. This extends the duration of the programme from 18 months to at least 24 months in the best case scenario and 36+ in the worst.
ii. Self-centred nature of staff: The staff of this university are quite antagonistic towards students. Most take pride in the school's notoriety for delaying and stressing students. Many can't help students in basic things and even supervisors are not concerned with the student's academic progress.
iii. Lack of uniformity by the PG school: In OAU, every department runs its PG programmes however and whenever it sees fit. The PG school only "advises" but never "implements" strict uniformity. This has created situations where some departments are faster than some. Any school where departments are allowed to run programmes however they like usually face delays in PG programmes.
iv. Too many bureaucracies: The PG school has too many protocols for registration, thesis/dissertation writing, defence, graduation, etc. These protocols can take months to accomplish sometimes.
There are many other reasons why the PG programme in OAU is bad but the above are the major ones. If the school can implement a strict adherence to PG calendar by the departments, simplify many of their bureaucracies, monitor staff activities, among others, the PG programme will move faster. The facilities are there and the school has a fairly good library. If every other thing falls in place, OAU will be a school to reckon with in terms of PG programmes in Nigeria.
2. University of Calabar, Cross River State UNICAL, as it is fondly called, is one of the second generation universities in Nigeria that was established in 1975. Some students have had terrible experiences with this university in terms of PG education. The university has a good academic culture, a wide array of alumni members and fairly manageable infrastructure. It is a go-to university for undergraduate education. However, they have not gotten it right in terms of PG education and below are some of the reasons why:
i. UNICAL allows departments too much flexibility: In UNICAL, every department works independently of the other and does so however it sees. There are no strict policies in place to make sure the departments are running the programmes in line with the PG school's dictates. With this level of flexibility and individuality, many departments unbearably delay students beyond their graduation deadlines.
ii. Corruption: This is one university where academic corruption has eaten deep into its marrows. There are many reports of PG students being extorted by the staff of the university. Extortion starts upon registration till result collection. In fact, UNICAL is for those with a fat pocket as you will have to pay for everything from the day you pick the form and the day you write the aptitude test to the day you gain admission and graduate. If you don't come with a fat pocket, be prepared to linger in the system for a long time.
iii. Nonchalance of staff: The members of staff in this university have a very bad attitude to work, save a few. Lecturers may not come and teach as and when due. Supervisors may never read student's submissions or even be available for discussions. Non-academic staff are not left out. They are hardly accessible for registrations, explanation, etc.
From the above, we can see why UNICAL is lagging behind in terms of speed and other indices of a standard PG programme. The university management has to immediately scrutinise the system and get to the root of the problem before it becomes worse than it already is.
3. Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State This is the premier university in Northern Nigeria. Many of the educated elites in Nigeria's north, and even south, are alumni members of this school. It is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful and spacious schools in Nigeria. However, it is plagued with many issues that affect the timely graduation of students. These issues include:
i. Intolerant Staff: This university has certain staff members that are plain bigots, tribalists and fanatics. They only see members of their ethnic group, religion and beliefs. If you are from the other side of the divide, you may face difficulties interacting with lecturers, your supervisor and even non-academic staff.
ii. Too many bureaucracies: Many of the students in this university complain that the system is hard and there are too many protocols. Unlike other universities, ABU has too many protocols that students have to go through in order to finish their programmes.
ABU has all it takes to be at the forefront of PG education in Nigeria. It just has to treat some of the issues that border on intolerance and bureaucracies.
4. University of Portharcourt, Rivers State UNIPORT is a second generation Nigerian university that was established in 1975. It has produced some of the intellectuals and elites in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. However, it is plagued with various issues at the PG level and these include:
i. No uniformity of PG programmes: In this school, like many others on this list, the departments do not follow a general academic calendar for PG programmes. Each department is free to do whatever it likes and this has affected the duration of programmes badly. There are some departments where students from 2 academic sessions earlier are not done with course work even though new students are waiting to start theirs.
ii. Lack of research infrastructure: UNIPORT is an old school and many of the infrastructure available to students for research are already old and mostly unusable. The library is not constantly furnished with new books, laboratories are in a mess, and the learning environment is not encouraging. Do not expect the best if you intend running a programme in UNIPORT.
iii. Corruption: Given the status of Port Harcourt as an oil city, this should come as no surprise to all. UNIPORT's staff members love money and will not hesitate to actively go after it even if it means extorting students. Many students have to pay their way through the programme before they eventually graduate.
iv. Nonchalance of staff: The staff members are not after student's welfare but theirs alone. Supervisors and course lecturers are lazy to the bones and contribute to the delay of students.
UNIPORT has many other problems but the above are the major ones. The school's management needs to step up its game and create a conducive environment for postgraduate research.
5. University of Abuja The University of Abuja is a third generation Nigerian university which is located in Nigeria's capital city of Abuja. It is fairly okay for undergraduate degree programmes but has much to overcome if it is to take a lead in PG education in Nigeria. Many Abujalites prefer going to Nassarawa for PG education than UNIABUJA. Below are some of the issues it faces:
i. Lack of uniformity: Again, like the other schools, every department operates their PG programmes independently and the PG school does not enforce strict adherence to its calendar. Because of this, departments with lazy staff tend to delay students unnecessarily.
ii. Lazy staff: Many of the staff of UNIABUJA are unnecessarily lazy and not interested in work. They generally do not like students and treat them most as disturbances than students. Because of this, supervisors hardly graduate students on time as there are no deadlines for such.
iii. Exploitation of students: Given the fact that Abuja is Nigeria's capital, with a lot of politicians and their wards going to UNIABUJA, the general idea is that money flows in this school. The staff are always quick to remind students of that through some of their exploitative tendencies.
iv. Lack of infrastructure: The university is still undergoing development and because of that, students do not have access to research infrastructure needed to complete their programmes.
If the above issues can be addressed by the management of UNIABUJA, things will surely get better. UNIABUJA is strategically located in the heart of Nigeria and has the burden to serve as Nigeria's archetype of standard education save for the issues affecting its PG programmes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from the top 5 schools in the list, there are also some other schools to watch out for in terms of quality PG programmes and duration of study. Like the top 5, these schools have issues that border on corruption, non-uniformity of calendar, nonchalance of staff, etc. They include:
6. Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State 7. Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Oyo State 8. University of Maiduguri, Borno State 9. Benue State University, Makurdi 10. University of Jos, Plateau State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the above, it is obvious that many regional and "big" schools have a long way to go in standardising their PG programmes to world standard. The common issues that they face border on the inability of schools to fix and enforce a uniform academic calendar for PG programmes, the lackadaisical attitude of staff to work, lack of work ethics, lack of research infrastructure, and more. Many Nigerian schools do have access to online databases such as Ebscohost, Questia, ProQuest, etc; online and physical interlibrary loans; standard ICT systems; theses, dissertations, journal articles and book online repositories, among others. These are things that make PG programmes to run smoothly for the student. It is also to be noted that some forms of delays are caused by students who do not take their work serious. However, if the system is working well, unserious students will be sifted out with ease.
Let us simply hope and pray that Nigerian universities standardise their PG programmes and make it less frustrating for students. For those intending to go to the listed schools or those already there, do not lose hope. Do what you can and wish for the best. Some of you can even be the ones to start the change by writing to the Deans of the PG schools about your plight so that they can address them and make the system run smoothly.

The statement for Ekiti spokeman is nt polite but the professor Adewole is disappointing many of us, why for God sake u wil condemn the procedure of drug as illegal, wen wat people shud be ur priority as health minister is that can ds drug works for the disease or wat way can u make it work, wen u are talking about d disease dt is affecting abt 5 percent of the population. As a professor of health, I expect him to encourage these people nt to discourage them cos of the grants u people are getting from international bodies, u don't want then to get cure for ds deadly disease. Professor should tell us wat type of drugs did ur ministry used to treat Ebola dt time and the procedure u used was is of international standard? If u don't want God angry, let them validate this drug and see if it wil work. Stop condemning the procedure either it is illegal or wat, once it can cure it without any serious side effect, let it be. Newshelm: Spokesperson to controversial governor of Ekiti State, Mr Lere Olayinka has lashed out to Nigeria's Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole for faulting the research done by one Prof who claimed he's found cure for HIV/Aids.
'Mr. Health Minister, Are You Mad?' - Fayose's Aide, Lere Asks Adewole
Olayinka who wrote this on his Facebook timeline said:
''Mr Health Minister, are you the one madding mad or mad is madding you?
Should not obtaining your stupid permit before carrying out the research be the issue or the effectiveness of The drug?
I understand your plight and those of your vampires in the health ministry anyway. The moment there is a drug that can cure HIV/AIDS from Nigeria, all those WHO grants on HIV/AIDS prevention will stop.''
Recall that Prof. Isaac Adewole, on Wednesday said it had been established that the experiment carried out by a professor of veterinary medicine and clinical virology was illegal.
Prof. Maduike Ezeibe of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology Department, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umuahia, Abia, was reported to have developed a drug that eliminated the deadly virus in some patients.
Ezeibe claimed that the drug, which was produced with “Aluminium Magnesium Silicate”, had the clinical ability to “reach all cells’’ and make HIV “a conquered organism”.

Stop deceiving urself, OAU is nt the best, it is beta u shud go for excursion in university of ibadan. OAU has good structures but not well maintained, can u compare the hall of residence in UI with OAU or compare of academic excellence in UI with OAU, apart from strong student unionism that no school can be compared wt ife, no any other thing u can identify dt make OAU beta the first and the best university in Nigeria. I think OAU students need to pay a visits to dt University or go for post graduate studies, u wil see orderliness in university of ibadan. e author=Samguine post=53347769]Obafemi Awolowo University is a federal government owned and operated Nigerian university. The university is in the ancient city of Ile-Ife. Established in 1962 as The University of Ife. The University is situated on a vast expanse of land totaling 11,861 hectares in Ile-Ife, Osun State, southwest of Nigeria. Right from the start, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU), has continuously proven its academic, administrative, research and community service supremacy over and above other universities in Nigeria. Why this is so is explained in the points below as compiled by Nigerian Bulletin: 1. Students Unionism: Of all student unions in Nigeria, OAU student union stands out. Its slogan Great IFE means: Great Intellectual Fighters for Emancipation. The ivory tower boasts of vibrant union and fearless national activists. Examples include: Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, Bamidele Aturu, among others. While other schools has Students’ Union Government ; government connotes operating within a territory, OAU has a Student Union which fights not for only OAU but entirety of Nigerian studentship. 2. Academic Excellence: This is a non-negotiable attribute of why thousands of students troop into Obafemi Awolowo University. The academic excellence and intellectual supremacy of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife cannot be matched with any other higher institution of learning in Nigeria. The ivory tower has an extensive history of academic excellence. Its products dominate and excel in various fields. 3. Beautiful Campus, Architectural Balance: OAU does not only have 'Africa's Most Beautiful Campus' in its school anthem, it has truly lived up to this name. The architectural masterpiece of building structures, and the serene environment will always leave you wowed. Besides this, OAU has good building structure. Halls of residence are removed from the academics. Banks have their place on campus. Market has its place. Lecture theatres have their places. And so on. 4. Strong Alumni Body: OAU boasts of an impressive alumni body both home and abroad. 5. Zero cultism: The last time cultist struck in OAU was in 1999. An attack which was allegedly orchestrated by the school management. Since then, the campus enjoys a cultist-free status. 6. Social life and rich cultural orientation: No other school compares when it comes to the social life in OAU. From Awo to Faj, Moremi to Akintola, the school maintains a rich social culture. Each hall of residence has its own students' peculiarity. For instance: Awolowo Hall is known for 'Aroism, and its habitual consumption of beans. Moremi is known for being the domain of campus big girls. Angola Hall is for the fresh male students. Mozambique is for the fresh female students. AngloMoz Park (the fusion of Angola and Mozambique) – which is in between Angola and Mozambique halls is a home for new students to hang out with one another. Fajuyi hall is known for being the hall of 'gentle' students. Apart from several hall orientation programmes, social events and displays from students will make you want to have a taste of the Great Ife! 7. Aroism: This is a concept that may sound ridiculous to students of other institution but it resounds a familiar meaning to an OAU student. It is a term used for hilarity in the school. 8. Peace, serene environment where students can move any time of the day – Not many Nigerian university campuses give you the freedom to walk at any time of the day, freely with no fear whatsoever. Students can leave their dorms to study in lecture theatres at any time of the time – even in the midnight, with no fear of intimidation. Besides campus security that is everywhere around the campus, students also watch each other's back. 9. Relatively cheap items – This is very very true of Obafemi Awolowo University – things are incredibly cheap on campus. Where do one even start from? From making photocopies of documents – which ranges from N3 – to transport fares which is N20 (from campus gate to inside the campus) no matter the size of the luggage. Also at butteries, prices of goods/stuffs should not be more than what students can afford. There have been cases where butteries have been shut because of trading over-priced items that are more expensive than outside campus. 10. Internal Government – Well, OAU has its own government. Cases are settled within and among the students. There has never been cases where policemen/armed forces invaded the campus to arrest or harrass students. These issues are always resolved among the students, and by the security arm of the school.

Education › Re: OAU Vs UI, Which Is The Best? by sakbio(m): 10:06am On Jan 22, 2017 |
No doubt, OAU is a good school, they ave good lecturers, good physical structure, and has many hostel that are nt well maintained. They are too conservative and put too much value on something that doesn't important like Form A to Z for PG program. They ave unstable academic calender, but they are more friendly to average students in payment of sch fees and other fees. Unibadan is the best in Nigeria, they ave better accommodation hall and maintaining them, they give less stress to students and ave stable academic calender, good lecturers and they are the first and stil the best. I ave bn to both Universities, I know both are great but UI is the best. |

Education › Re: Breakdown Of The Result Of AROR OGHENERUKEVWE From The Database Of OAU by sakbio(m): 8:13am On Dec 24, 2016 |
The Professor needs to be commended and also the admission process of the school, OAU, u are different if all other public universities can be so transparent like this, I think the problem of this country wil be about 50 percent solved. The applicant is advised to try another JAMB and I am sure she wil make it by God grace. Well done Professor, u are a man of integrity, keep it up, the sky is ur limit. for the girl, I wish her best of luck Adesegunfat: Let me thank all OAU medical students and graduates who have called me over this matter.
I have taken the pain of extracting the results of Aror directly from the database - using screenprint so that everyone can see the evidences. She uploaded only 7 subjects, and her overall average is 75.2%.
If she has further issues, she is free to contact the University's Admissions office.
For others to judge if the attached documents are true or not, I encourage people to take a good look at her JAMB result print out - It reflects the same 7 subjects only, same calculation, and the same weighted average of 75.2%. Aror should please upload that document again for others to see.
I wish her well. |
Education › Re: Provost Of Health Sciences Oau Gives Reasons Why Mrs Aror Wasnt Admitted by sakbio(m): 8:27am On Dec 23, 2016 |
I think the provost should be commended for the detailed explanation of the process of admission but it is a pity for the applicant for not getting with that result but I think he can do beta in the coming JAMB. He shud ave attempt to do change of course to either dentistry or pharmacy. It is nt easy to be a medical doctor. Best of luck to him sha DonLo: Some Nigerians like talking with sentiments.. You think Medicine in a top rated school like OAU comes easily as you think. She scored high but there must have been some other person with higher scores more deserving of the admission. Instead of attacking the provost who took his time to explain please advocate for the return of post utme and the stop of all this catchment areas come educational disadvantaged areas. If there had been post UTME others that deserves it less would have been sieved out.
God bless the Provost. He was really willing to help when I called is attention to it yesterday. But it was just too late. |

Career › Re: I Want To Be A Lecturer But Have Only HND, Advise Me by sakbio(m): 9:44am On Dec 10, 2016 |
Good advice, no university in Nigeria will employ HND+PGD+Msc, don't waste ur time and resources. If u like academics as u claimed, go and do degree and Msc, ur HND wil be added advantage if u want to lecture in polytechnic. HND+ PGD not equivalent to degree.
ote author=ade2008 post=50987155]
No university will employ him as a lecturer even with HND+PGD+MSC, only polytechnic can. Even to be employed in a polytechnic the PGD should be in the core field(mass comm not in education+ MSC. Academic carreer for HND is very narrow , you can only work as a technologist, so my advice is obtain a degree if you're passionate about working in academic as lecturer. I'm a senior technologist working in a polytechnic , speaking from experience[/quote] |

Bad advice, online program for lecturing work, are u sure Nigeria university wil accept the qualification for career in academics? I doubt it. Wat worth doing at all, worth doing well. Go and do the degree either full time or distance learning from any federal/ state university and proceed immediately for ur master program.

They shud them because u people don't want them to carry arms, each organization has specific roles and job function, let's be sincere to ourselves quote author=onoerime post=51591065]then merge them with the police.

U people are just envy this organization, so they shud request the service of another organization to do their job for them, do u think one organization can work for another without collecting something, Wat is the essence of calling themselves security / uniform agencies when they cannot secure themselves and why are they undergoing physical training for about six months either trained by nigeria army or other competent organizations, Abeg let's tell ourselves the truth, these people need arms. delishpot: Nigerian drivers Don die finish be that o. Abeg, road safety Don become security outfit?
Then they should work with qualified arm carrying personnel. Yes, they should get assigned Security personel when on duty. Besides, what has road safety got to do with guns? If the government wants, it should create a traffic police department and arm them for security checks on roads. FRSC should not be armed. FRSC, should train men on First aid, road safety and Emergency care and that is all. They are not out there to catch criminals or track crimes. There are departments built for those sorts of projects. |

It is over due, it is a good development cos the embarrassment these people is too much, for instance there was an incident that happen in Osun, they arrested some vehicles for overloading and the motorists went back to their garage and mobilize themselves that they want to go and teach the FRSC lesson cos they know that they don't ave anything to defend themselves and they went damage most of their vehicles and those arrested from motorists and most of the staff sustained different degree of injuries. Kudos to their boss for the courage action, u can't call urself a security agency that can't defence itself, wat are u secure?. It is a very good developmet sarrki: THE Federal Government has approved arms-bearing for the men and officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps following upsurge in violent attacks and killing of some of its operatives during legitimate duties.
This is coming on the sad revelation that the Corps has lost over 70 of its personnel in 2016 alone as a result of violent attacks by motorists at the course of duties on highways.
Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of FRSC, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, made this known on Friday in Abuja at the end of year management strategy session as a way to assess the Corps stewardship as well as ensuring effective service delivery.
He noted that the FRSC Establishment Act gives power to the corps to bear arms and that the Federal Government had earlier approved that, with about 5,000 personnel already undergoing training on firearms.
The Federal Government has however approved the recruitment of about 450 personnel to beef up the operational capacity of FRSC in prompt rescue operations and enforcement drive.
Oyeyemi said: “The Act gives power to the Corps to bear arms and 5,000 of our personnel have been trained. We are just waiting for the validation of the earlier approval.
“Sadly, within the one year, we have lost 70 personnel. It is sad to note that some killing and maiming of operatives, including one from a sister agency in close collaboration with the Corps were in the course of official duties.
“A recent occurrence was the happening in Talata Mafara, Zamfara State where a motorist ran into the Mobile Court in session, killing three operatives almost instantly while a Civil Defence operative died later as a result of injuries sustained in the dastardly act.
He, however, declared that the Corps would not give up, ensuring that the mandate of making Nigerian highways safer is achieved.
The Corps Marshal said he had since last year raised the alarm that some Nigerian motorists were becoming unusually violent, following rising cases of wilful killings of some of the Corps’ operatives on official duties.
He also revealed that at the end of week 47 of 2016, road crashes claimed the lives of 4,005 persons in Nigeria from 7,657 crashes as recorded by the Corps.
He, however, pointed out that the Corps has recorded 15 per cent reduction in road traffic crashes and 25 per cent in fatality rate, during the third quarter of 2016, saying this was an indication that the Corps is making progress in the campaigns.
He said: “For instance, as at September this year, we have achieved 77.19 per cent of the expectation in RTC reduction while 83.33 per cent was archived in respect of fatality rate. We will not only keep momentum but further accelerate achievement of goals,” he said.
He also disclosed that the Corps has sacked 66 personnel (10 officers and 56 marshals) on issues bothering on indiscipline, particularly inducement of operatives by motorists to evade arrest and outright extortion by operatives.
Oyeyemi added that 33 other personnel were had their ranks reduced or lost of seniority as part of disciplinary action on them.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engineer Babachir Lawal, reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Government in supporting FRSC in achieving its mandate of making Nigerian roads safe for the citizens.
He said the government has accordingly approved the recruitment of 4350 personnel to boost the operational capacity of the Corps.
Lawal who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs, Ambassador Olukunle Gbangbose, said the Federal Government would ensure that FRSC is properly equipped for effective service delivery while calling on the top management of the Corps to begin to think out of the box in addressing challenges faced.
