You send them messages and it takes them 2 weeks to reply? That's not normal. No matter how busy they are, as long as they know that their primary means of communication with their mother is through chatting, they will always check.

By the way, no matter how busy one is, they can't take two weeks to reply a loved one. Just saying

First stage of grief; DENIAL.
The woman doesn't want to accept the fact that her children doesn't care about her, and that she has been ABANDONED by them, but choose to say that it is because they are INDEPENDENT.

The prof should better wake up to that reality, and start taking some rebuilding steps to correct her relationship with her children.

Universities in the UK will face a 14-day strike by lecturers starting from Thursday, which is estimated to hit 61 universities and over a million of students in the next four weeks.

Lecturers will take strike action by stopping teaching and marking, which will cause the cancellation of final exams and delay graduation ceremonies across the country.

The reason why lecturers decided to take strike action was due to their opposition to the proposed changes to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), which is one of the largest pension schemes for universities and other higher education institutes in UK.

As reported by The Guardian, Universities UK (UUK) has proposed that, in order to overcome the deficit in the USS pension scheme, the fund will be moved from a defined-benefit scheme that provides a guaranteed retirement income with lecturers to a risker defined-contribution plan, where pension income is subject to stock market movements.

Members of the University and College Union (UCU) supported the industrial action.

The proposed change to the pension scheme is expected to result in nearly 200,000 pounds (280,000 US dollars) pension loss for each lecturer after retirement in total.

Students are the most likely affected group by the severe strike and almost 70,000 students have signed petitions demanding compensation from their universities, according to The Guardian.

UCU pointed out that the undergraduates will be hit most by the strike, losing an estimated 575,000 teaching hours which will not be rescheduled, reported by The Guardian.

UK’s top universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, Imperial College London and Bristol will be affected.

Sally Hunt, general secretary of the UCU, warned that if the solution of pensions couldn’t be found, the strike would continue to hit the universities in the next few months.

However, Chris Forde, a professor of employment studies at Leeds University and a UCU member, said: “None of the students are explicitly critical of the stance taken by lecturers. The students seem to be taking it up with their universities. They want their fees compensated and they want them to get back to the negotiating table.”

Although students sympathized for the situation of their teachers, they were still upset that they would be left alone by the universities.

A third-year student in Sussex University told The Guardian that she felt unacceptable for having no assistance in the 14 days over four weeks for her most important education term.

International students in UK, including Chinese students, are also the victims of the strike due to their highly expensive tuition fees.

“Our losses are threefold comparing to those of the UK and EU students as we paid higher tuition fees.” a Chinese student studying in Liverpool University said, “In 14 days we will lose about 3000 pounds (4,183 US dollars).”

Many universities in UK have issued their petition online with tens of thousands of students signed.

Go to nearest jamb office to log a complain..... You'll need Admission letter from jamb ,even though ,if you're able to pay acceptance fee(without having/facing any difficulties)........... hurry up...the earlier the better!

you'd go to ui,admission office instead, but it's locked

Same thing happened to a friend of mine too. Jamb site is saying no admission given yet, but he had been given admission on UI portal. He is a DE student 300 level aspirant

Diamondville:
abeg, how many female hostels do they have?

UI has 3 female halls of residence; Quen Elizabeth II hall, Queen Idia hall, Obafemi Awolowo hall

pweshboi:
I just tire... See as we go eba and rice ourselves for Morocco hand, shey 2-0 for even do small.

MFM fc has very good midfielders yet none made the team. That should tell u something.

Diamondville:
what are the hostel rules? are they strict with their rules? do they allow electrical appliances?

The female halls are a little be strict sha , but the male halls are not too strict. On paper, electrical appliances are not allowed but people still use illegally

Diamondville:

Freshers and Final year students are guaranteed bed spaces

I've not received any email yet

uniquetreasure:
Thanks for your response, but what courses do they offer?

go to www.ui.edu.ng and check them out yourself

ORIJIN201:
I hate that course with passion. I only read it to pass it. electricity and magnetism with thermodynamics comes to mind

same here bro. Even in HND for SLT, na physics option dey small pass .

ORIJIN201:
Thanks bro. physics I jump and pass. I have uniben at heart too since its in my state of origin. it seems I will have to change the topic. cc fynestboi

why are all of u running away from physics na� ;d

uniquetreasure:
Please do they accept DE students into faculty of Administration?

there is no faculty of admin/management in UI.
UI does not offer admin/management courses

ORIJIN201:
Passed out of laspotech with a upper credit from department of SLT. I Want to study Chemistry at the university of Ibadan through Direct Entry. I just want to know how to go about it, my chances and what I need to do to get in as people usually tell me it's difficult. Looking forward to you guys helping me out here. Thanks!
Cc lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun. help me move it to front page abeg.

.UI doesn't accept DE students using ND or HND into faculty of science except Dept of physics that accepts ND or NCE.
so what i am saying is that if u really want to study chemistry, choose another school like futa or funaab, they both accept de for chemistry

Institution: University of Ibadan, Ibadan

Course: Agronomy

Level: 100

Souljeezy:
i knew i've seen a resemblance sumwhere..u jxt reminded me where i saw it, in UNEC..

The one in UNEC is still in progress!!

that exact same structure has also been built in UI.
I think CBN is building it in most federal schools and it is not peculiar to ABU only

Those guys bringing up tribalism into this news are not serious. where were they when two students from the southwest and the same school(The Ambassadors College, Otta) won it last year, we didnt hear anything o, but when it comes to the south easterners, u start ur usual ranting.


Let's just celebrate these guys without any tribalism

blackpanda:
Hmm i dont know how u do ur calculation o but 983k divided by 12 is about 81k per month. Pension alone is like 12k not to talk of other deductions, so there is no way u will be receivibg 70k as entry level. Better tell her the truth to avoid dissappointment later. Fed govt pay is very poor. We have been suffering and smiling for decades.

when I get to work tomorrow, I'll snap my old payslip of contediss 7 step 2,. no need for argument.

like someone has pointed out earlier, the more u look , the more confused u become when it comes to salary structures for fg jobs. lol�

blackpanda:
Your gross salary is about 80k but by the time they remove deductions for pension, nhis, nhf etc u will be collecting like 50k.

Cheers and congrats!

haba 50k bawo, its not that bad na
Her net pay would be around 70-73k after deduction of pension, tax, nhf and the gross pay is like 90k plus

That is for CONTEDISS 7 STEP 2

phekima:
It's hardly possible to have zero in an examination of mainly objectives, I smell error.

My brother, it is 101% possible . CHE 156 CA test in ui comes to mind.

I suspect 'cover up for murder in this case' ,because there is nothing like coincidence when it comes to crime. For crying out loud, these two cannot die at the same time while having sex.

Nbote:
I'll ignore u becos I know ur ignorance isn't ur fault. Lemme explain it to u. If u want to travel to Togo , Ghana or any ECOWAS country u still require their visas. Instead of working towards a common currency why not first work towards a common visa?? Jus like Europe has schengen but I doubt if u know what dat means

I'm sorry but you are the ignorant one here. you do not need a visa to enter any ECOWAS country, that is y the Nigerian passport has ecowas boldly written on it.
Hence, what u only need is ur international passport to enter any ECOWAS state.
Thank u

i smell a social experiment

please someone should help me name the organic compound in the pics below. chemistry guru in the house.

Explanations to the solution should also be included

Thanks
