Dear students,
The moment you sign up to be a student in Nigeria, you become trapped. I do not mean been trapped literally but emotionally, and mentally. when a question like what is the problem of the university education comes up, so many would begin to point accusing fingers at the government. Others would say its the lack of necessary infrastructure. some may even say its the lazy attitude of the students. Few may point accusing fingers at external variables as the weather.....Nigeria is so hot. All these may likely add up to the major problem but that does not make it the major deal. I put it forward to you, The lecturers are the major problem of the university education. Accept it or live it. As Hillary Clinton once said "If you have a different view on an issue, you got to prove it. I would.
Do not forget to ask your parents that your fees ain't gonna be enough to sail you through school. you know why. The lecturers. you got to pay your fees and settle your lecturers also. If you have 12 courses, it all has its baggage. A lecturer comes into class and says "AS YOU SUBMIT YOUR ASSIGNMENT MAKE SURE YOU PAY 1000 NAIRA OR YOUR PAPERS WON'T BE MARKED". what nonsense! female students even got so much to pay because they are females. Some lecturers fail some students because of their refusal to sleep with them. Its like been a lecturer gives you some kind of deified powers. It doesn't make any sense that a student would spend 7years in school not because of lack of seriousness but the ability to do right. Alright, I have a way out for you. write to the authorities about molestation. just write. That even gets harder. you would write and write and write......at the end of the day your report may likely land in wrong hands who may not see your report as relevant. So you may end up victimized.
At the end of the day, this same group of people would bring up topics about the government in class calling them corrupt. what corruption? who is more corrupt? They are. I would tell you why. The lecturers are transmitting their compromising seeds into a thousand. The students come out thinking that collecting bribes and paying off their problems is right. Students do not get to study to earn their grades. That's why a student in a public university would boldly stand up to a private university saying "I could have been on a 1st class If I was in your school"all lies. The only difference is that being in a private university deals with you earning your grades. I believe If this is looked into more closely things may get better.
I suggest that a hierarchy of boards should be created to see into this matter. This would enable students to report issues into handy boards and not writing to ghost offices.

Those are factual!!! Those corrupt lecturers will choose to send their children abroad or to any on the private university. Smh, indeed man has dominated man to his harm. Well done Minka.
ReplyDeleteThanks James. you are absolutely right. The reason they would send their kids abroad is because they understand the whole deal....and they do not need their children getting all trapped.
