[/b]Good afternoon Nairalanders. You must have been aware of those writing and posting "I don't give a mess" pictures on every section and almost every topics they commented on. These guys are obviously trying to be funny but they can also be annoying most times. So here are 10 top things the "I don't give a mess" crew do on Nairaland.

[/b]1. They come for space: These set of people will come to your post and just type "hi" or something like that just to securing space for themselves before the post enters Frontpage.

[/b]2. They upload funny pictures:[/b] The Idgaf crew also use this to create funny scene. They upload different pictures with Idgaf caption.

[/b]3. They come in group:[/b] One thing I also notice in these set of people is that they attack posts in group. You can never see only one Idgaf picture. Nah

[/b]4. They are not interested in anything:[/b] Just as their names imply, they seem not to be interested in any post. Talk about a very important subject and you end up seeing Idgaf pictures all over your post. They truly don't give a f.uck.

[/b]5. They can tag ehn:[/b] These people can tag anything on the post. They tag your comment and they don't give a f.uck. They tag your advice and they don't give a mess. They even tag your 'sorry' and they don't give a mess.

[/b]6. They are on every Section:[/b] These people are everywhere. You see them on every section of Nairaland ranging from politics, food, jokes etc.

[/b]7. Their main target is FrontPage posts:[/b] They flooded posts they presume would be on Frontpage. They want everyone to know them.

[/b]8. They are formally "picture or Idonbelivit group:[/b] These group of people are the ones who tag your comment or story and put pishure or I don bilivit on it.

[/b]9. They would attack this post:[/b] I'm very sure these people would come here and still do the "I don't give a mess" thing.

[/b]10. ADD YOURS[/b]

Oma307:
I just need the name of the university so that i can take the matter up

Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko. Ondo State

I woke up this morning with cold and headache. I know instantly that this could be nothing but malaria. I couldn't take my birth because of the cold and I didn't have kerosene in my stove to warm water due to lack of funds. I rushed to the Health Centre in the school for treatment. While I was about entering the Health Centre, a shabby security called my back and began asking stupid questions(I guessed he was drunk). I was later freed to enter after he noticed the way I was shivering. Having waited for about 45 minutes, I was called in by the Doctor. I was later given a ticket to collect drug from the drugstore after discovering it was malaria. I went to the store but I was stunned when they said I should go outside to get it as they don't have drugs. The point is that I knew right from time what drugs to buy but I don't have much cash, so I had to visit the Health Centre. What is now the essence of prescribing drugs when you don't have. Afterall, a large sum of money is paid in by every student per session

Yeah. It was on the day of Christmas that we had those visitors. Sorry for using 'we', my parents were not around, neither my siblings nor anybody. I couldn't send the visitors away without preparing "a little something" for them. Yes! That was what I told them. I asked what I should offer and they insisted on "anything". Before I forget, they were 3 in number. One was my Dad's partner in work together with his wife. The other was a third street neighbour. Ehn! The one you call 'alatojubo'.
Being a lazy guy who doesn't know how to cook, I googled out both 'how to make fried rice and the ingredients in making it'. I quickly plugged the cooker and set into action. After pouring half a litre of groundnut oil in a pot, I waited for the oil to do 'shin-shin' and I added 3 onions which I cut into three halves each. I added 3 teaspoonful of ground pepper and 5 cubes of maggi. After these exercise, I poured in 8 cups of rice only to realize I haven't added seasoning, salt, theme, curry and colouring. I quickly did justice to all these and added 2 litres of water. After about 45 minutes, I opened the pot and found out the water was too much. I poured out little. After about another 20 minutes, I perceived a smell that the rice was burning but when I opened the pot, there was still water. I poured out the water again and by this time, most of the colouring had gone out with the water. After another 15 minutes, I mixed the rice with a big spoon but to my utter dismay, the rice was so soft that it was like porridge. By this time, the visitors had waited for a long time and were talking about going soon (indirectly asking for the food). I had to run away using the back door.
That was the Christmas rice I prepared.

Pls where can I get a new touchpad for M-horse J7 android. It seems the parts are nt in market

bobo65:
Enter aliexpress, u might b lucky to c d part

where is aliexpress? I'm in Akure

I'm finding a fairly used android, tecno or infinix preferably. I stay in Ikare/Akungba but goes to Akure intermittently.

Is there touchpad for M-Horse, model-J7 in market?

I bought an android phone last month. M-Horse, model-J7 but its touchpad is no longer working. I've taken it to diff places but they all said there was no touchpad for the phone and that automatically means it is now useless. I want to ask fellow nairalander that (1) Is it possible they don't make touchpad for some phones to sell in market (2) what can I do with the phones.

No abuse pls.Thanks

DON'T SUE THEM, DESTROY THEM: AN OPEN LETTER TO AAUASU PRESIDENT.
I find it more as a pleasure than as a privilege to write you. It is indeed a great success to come out from the smallest faculty to win an election in AAUA. With deep sense of humility, I want to congratulate you on your recent success. Like somebody's mantra "To whom brain is given, sense is expected", but I can understand that many were given but only few know how to use it. So I charge you in this direction to apply sense to any and every issues relating to the Union, considering the indisputable and undiluted fact that the expectations of AAUites are still high.
Going down memory lane, I could remember most of your promises during your manisfesto. I want to urge you to always act in tandem with your promises and to resist vehemently any act of 'auspicism' from the management. AAUA Students' Union should be an independent body fighting for the just cause of AAUites and not an affiliates of any organisation or association. Like someone use to say, "after negotiation comes confrontation", this is to explain an analogy that after diplomatic dialogue with the management, then and only then should confrontation comes, in case diplomacy fails. It is sometimes better to disagree so that we can agree. Perhaps that's why the Diplomats' Bible lends credence to it that, "the failure of diplomacy bring forth war". Ofcourse it is also well known as J.F. Kenedy argued that "those who make violent revolution impossible will make peaceful revolution inevitable". Although this is not to posit that you should always result to 'aluta' but to inform you categorically that until 'aluta' continues, victory may always not be ascertain.
It is also more often seen than not that the Presidents do not carry other executives along. This usually use to be the bedrock of failed government. Undoubtedly, without the collective support and unanimous synergy of other executives, the administration will be a complete sham and in disappointing shame.
Most importantly, let me reiterate that you should put what you profess during your manifesto into consideration. Like you said, the institutional bastards are those factors that are bastardizing the institution; those factors militating against the interest and well-being of AAUites. For example, issues like ATM, Solar light that are not perfectly working are part of these bastards. Let me use this medium to urge you not to only sue this bastards but to sentence them to death. If you only sue these bastards, they will surely be freed either sooner or later but if you destroy them, we can then be rest assured that they will permanently remain defeated.
Lastly, let collective responsibility be your utmost priority. Carry Rytar along, write us through the exceptional pen of Damzy, safeguard our treasury through O'jay, pen down our financial transaction through Shegmond, unite us socially through Meticulous, let us have fun through Olamight, speak to us through the voice of Larry-cole, promote our welfare through IBB and let Seunzy continue to assist in the documentation. Surely, we will survive.
All in all, I will like to reiterate it that AAUites expectations are high. Don't jettison our interest. I believe you won't disappoint us. Mr President sir, I once again congratulate you as the number one student of AAUA.
GOD BLESS AAUA.
Yours-in-Struggle,

HOW CORRUPTION CAN BE GOTTEN RID OF FROM NIGERIAN CAMPUSES
.
By Raimi Sina
.
Corruption in recent times has not only been a cankerworm eating voraciously at our economy but has also become a household name. Corruption is evident in all Nigerian institutions. These institutions include political, entertainment and educational sector. Corruption has been defined by different scholars with divergent opinions and views. However, the etymological definition of corruption will be imperative at this stage.
Corruption is derived from a latin word 'corruptus' which means "to break or destroy". Literally, corruption means to break away or depart from morality, ethics and civil virtue. Going by the above definition, corruption is a break away from what is good and right. The Oxford Advanced Dictionary on the other hand defines corruption as "dishonesty (which in other words is deceitfulness, fraudulent, lying, untruthfulness, treachery, duplicity)".
Similarly, Goel and Nelson (2008) see corruption as the use or abuse of public office for private gains. The new Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English also defines corruption as dishonest, illegal, immoral behaviour, especially of people in authority. From these definitions, one can rightly say that corruption in Nigerian campuses is the inappropriate use of public office for private gains. Corruption has been so pronounced in Nigeria that she was among the 13 most corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency International (2015).

It will be apposite at this point to outline some causes of corruption before proffering possible solutions for the reduction and probably eradication of this recurring menace.
.
First and foremost, nepotism is a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerian campuses (private or public) and its linen reeks of corruption. Nepotism is the favouritism shown to relatives or friends, especially by giving them undue preference over others. The admission process into Nigerian tertiary institution has become so porous that one can buy his way into the campus due to nepotism.
Another cause of corruption is bribery. Bribery, which is an important aspect of corruption, needs two parties for it to happen: the bribe giver and the bribe taker. If one of these parties doesn't comply, this corrupt act won't take place, but in Nigerian campuses, the reverse is the case. Bribery has become ubiquitous in Nigerian campuses, especially from students to lecturers to acquire undue marks and grades.
Another index of corruption in Nigerian campuses is insincerity, greed, indiscipline and excessive materialism among students. Student-politicians, upon their attainment of desired posts or positions, extort and mismanage funds meant for the welfare of the students. It is important to include that what the leaders of today are doing has been imbibed in them yesterday. Therefore, for leaders of tomorrow to be corruption-free, the culture must be imbibed in them today.
Another yardstick for the measurement of corruption is the type of home the students come from. Corruption has been so bastardized in Nigeria that at any mention of it, one thinks of a dishonest act in return for money. It can also mean evil or immoral act. The act of indecent dressing and using vulgar languages can also be regarded as corruption.
.
HOW CORRUPTION CAN BE GOTTEN RID OF

According to Bess Myerson, "the accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference". The moment we set our mind to tackle corruption signals that it is half-solved. It will only amount to stating the obvious to suggest that corruption has become a household name in Nigerian campuses. Although it cannot be totally got rid of but it can be drastically reduced to its barest minimum.
One of the ways in which corruption can be gotten rid of in Nigerian campuses is the frown against nepotism. If nepotism can be seriously frowned at and subjugated, corruption will be reduced to its minimal level. The act of giving undue marks will be scrapped and favouritism in admission processes will become a thing of the past.
Another serious way of battling corruption in Nigerian campuses is that an independent corrupt practice commission should be set up in Nigerian institutions and mandatory years of imprisonment should be made compulsory for any individual in the campus found guilty of corruption.
Furthermore, integrity should be rewarded among the management and staff of institutions. Like the popular quote, "mediocrity begets mediocrity". Awards should be given to those who served diligently to motivate others and punishments to those who are found wanting to serve as deterrent. By this move, mediocrity, greed, insincerity and so on will rapidly reduce to its barest minimum.
Also, there should be emolument increase of lecturers' salaries to fend off the act of bribery. Lecturers should also resist vehemently any and every form of bribery and corrupt.......

First of all...appreciation goes to all sundry who made this possible. It is pertinent for me to comment that I do nt support rise in tuition fee. It's just a debate oh. Ese o.

sir, has the second judge nt assess my write up because my name is not in the second judge's results

ehisdan:
Do you agree with me that those infrastructures provided by the then regional government as u said are no more in place or must have worn out or are not useful any more to modern study if at all they are still in place? These Universities must have been equipped with modern infrastructures for modern learning without any hike in the tuition fee. what do you have to say about this?

These infrastructures have been continually sustained and subsequently developed to the tune of modernity. Reason being that these infrastructures were already on ground and low amount is required to 'fine-tune' it compared to the said modern universities which are going through thick and thin to ensure infrastructures are put into place.

Bravo brother for meeting up, but your qualification is not strong yet, as a sole representation is not accepted, and such leads to disqualification, team with one representative so far, had their other rep disqualified for late timing, e. G Uniben and FUTMINNA, which I believe they will work more on that in the next stage, however you have the chance to provide atleast two rep for AAUA or........

I'll provide two reps bro. When is the deadline?

xynerise:
So the infrastructures in these universities were achieved from increased tuition fee?

These universities have been in existence for a very long time. There were few federal universities then compared to nowadays which made it easy for the federal(regional then) government to pump money into this universities. An increase in universities' tuition will however lift these "nowadays" universities up to their standard. Then there will be uniformity in these Universities which will subsequently improve educational standard in Nigeria.

Joejonah:
Do you now accept the fact that low tuition fee attract all to education?? Why then are you advocating that fees should be hike to make Nigeria hopelessly flooded with uneducated youths?

"what is worth having is worth fighting for". It won't augur well if "half-baked" graduates were made from these universities. What will then be the hope of Nigeria in the future considering the fact that these 'half-baked' graduates are the future of the nation.

xynerise:
I am very much interested in the bolded. Based on your argument, an increase in tuition fee will motivate students to study harder and also add more value to the degree. Please, kindly name two successful universities in Nigeria currently using that strategy to develop students' intelligence. Also, tell us if the likes of OAU, UNN and other notable Nigerian universities adopted that strategy for them to be the best in Nigeria?

first and foremost, it is important to note that Nigeria's educational system is defunct. There's no way an average Nigeria student will go to a university with high fee when he sees others with low fee. This undoubtedly will exterminate any form of motivation in them.
Secondly OAU, UNN, UI and the likes were able to be ranked among the best because of infrastructures, apparatuses needed to teach and study at pace e.t.c. If other universities could get all these(with monies from increased fee), they will attain the height of OAU and others.
