This is really disappointing coming from you. You've always sounded like an intelligent person.

The University of Ibadan is the best University in Nigeria and you most likely cannot get admitted into any of the easier programs there.

Good luck in your stupid life, I'm curious how does it feel to have to live life with an IQ less than 100?

Na me be this.. See tab because of UI..

I am truly hurt..

smellingmenses:
these students have not clearly stated what is happening...the economy is bad enough not to waste your parents money on unnecessary things that will delay your graduation.....and on this thread they have not been able to articulate their grievances.... I think UI should be made a fully postgraduate institution.... for the best brains.....

Change as you observed brings with it a myriad of the unexpected most times.

I support this.

It would be folly to engage you..

leave dah fool jhoor....... he's not privileged to b a uite..... go and ask ur father if he never wished to study in ui..

the heading is wrong; the university is called UI not UNIBADAN

Its called Unibadan. Its even in the school anthem

smellingmenses:
hmmm thanks. I have nothing against the PTA meetings as it is obvious charity begins at home, Unilorin does it, Unilag too... one of the reasons some rascally students have gotten by is because their parents were in the dark of school happenings. Kudos to the management. #sanitymustbebroughtback the SUG should know that with power comes responsibility. More so I suspect this to be a fall out of the VC's appointment if the root causes are well traced! The SUG might just be a pawn in the bigger game.

Here's what happened:

For about 2 weeks power and water were non-existent in a particular hall in UI. It became unbearable. people didn't know how they'd have been able to survive much longer! They had been silent and tried to endure it, but could no longer do so. They had complained to the hall management without anything being done about it. They had one, and only one, option left! They had to protest!

So protest they did. peaceful student protest. Beating buckets and plates, they matched to the Dean of Students office to lay complaints. He listened and promised to fix things. And surprisingly what had lingered for two weeks was solved in a few hours!!!

The hall warden didn't like that he had been exposed in this way, and looked for scapegoats. A certain student who had been posting his campaign posters showing intent to contest for the chairmanship of the hall, also known as Mote, was picked. It was easy to choose someone as visible as him because he showed intent in contesting hall elections with his campaign posters everywhere. It was also easy because that was his 6-month IT period, which he was having in Port Harcourt.

That he was picked though doesn't mean he was particularly guilty of any wrongdoing; in fact he was in the Hall Warden's office few days later with a few others over another unrelated issue, and the hall warden changed topics from what they were discussing to promise to make Mote a scapegoat!

He said "I warned that Mote to stop leading them in the protest, but he didn't listen to me. I'll show him a lesson!" And Mote was sited right there!! He obviously hadn't ever set eyes on Mote before. He was just looking to find some scapegoat!

The result of that was this was that Mote was summoned before the student disciplinary committee (SDC) and suspended for a semester. A release later by the school claimed he was suspended for "leading a protest", nevermind that the said protest was very peaceful as they themselves had earlier acknowledged. it's worthy of note that there's no law that states that whenever a student is on IT he is totally forbidden from setting foot on campus ever again, except his IT b concluded. The IT is an academic programme! The Student is still an academic student of the school and can take breaks from his placement to return to school should the need arise!

Such was the case with Mote, he came back to process a scholarship which he won and had legitimate reason to b on campus when this incident occured.

Following his suspension, students were vexed at this seeming unjust victimization. After all efforts by the student union to resolve this via letters and entreaties and other methods yielded nothing, they decided to protest and were joined by the other student unions of other schools in the state

During this period the power supply was erratic, making students annoyed even more. They had evidence that the power distribution company delivered at least 18 hours of electricity on a daily basis as they were told by the company themselves. They saw nothing to justify the inadequate power supply they were experiencing!

Following their protest over these matters, the university was shut down. During the course of protest the university management were able to persuade the students to cool off their protesting, promising them that they'll look into the matter. Having this word from them, the students decided that victory wasn't far from them anymore, hence stopped their protest, not realIzing that they had been tricked!

Meetings by the school management were secretly done, students were kept in the dark as to what the school had resolved in the matter, this was a ploy to quickly get the better of Students without them knowing what would hit them!

However the subsequent body language of the VC of the school, as well as his media briefings would betray him. He quickly fixed a PTA meeting so that they could get to parents with their own side of the story behind students back, sidestep them, and play a quick one on them. Following this discovery the student leaders decided to hold their own meeting to strategize on how to react.

The school management got wind of this meeting the students wanted to hold and sent the police after them. But police can listen to common sense as well, without any real reason to hold them, they were soon released! The students in question were PG students, being themselves union presidents when they were undergraduates, and as PG students could b in school. They could also be in the SUB, there's no reason why they couldn't be!

Students are angry at this this show of insincerity from the VC, and apparent inability to manage people. The NASU had earlier shown this his incompetence; they had almost violent protests earlier, now it's the turn of Students, and all this in the first few months of his tenure!

So there you have it!

This is sad.

Please do us all the favour of telling us the university you went to..

Yeah, I know we'll still use google to inquire about the whereabout of the school.. But just tell us..






Don't avoid this question please...

Obviously this man has bad counselors probably, as VC. However the SUG should explore all diplomatic powers within reach. Olayinka is a very approachable person....always listening.... also he is not in charge of the SDC ....I think students are not yet getting the triggers of this conflict...if another school officer the DSA could attend to you briefly then the Hall warden should be removed asap....for incompetency. However militancy of students is an outdated concept to conflict management.... UI has so many power blocks that can be used in conflict handling without resorting to militancy. A student on IT is not supposed to lead protests... but can be part of negotiations..even that is not too difficult to resolve amicably (I mean his suspension) if you guys have a leadership that is capable of clear headed thinking...without resorting to primitive tendencies. You all need to watch out 4 students who have nothing at stake who r benefitting from these protests and also some staff who are bent on sabotaging the efforts of management....but Prof. Olayinka is a VERY reasonable man. and capable of moving UI into one of the first ten universities in Africa a position it deserves.... Thanks for the clear articulation. Unfortunately am not in that vicinity I would have been able to get the dynamics and probably proffer where to nip the conflict in the bud.

From what you've written you sound like you graduated from OAU (DSA, SUG, etc...). You also know Prof Olayinka and are familiar with UI. How's that so? You also said he's a reasonable man who's always listening. If we ignore this thing with students, even his encounter with NASU doesn't show that! So, how do you know the Prof?

That is why I said am not on ground to understand the dynamics....conflicts are always contextual.

while I also get your advice to be wary of both staff and students with ulterior motives, I want to reiterate that students as much as possible tried to avoid this "militancy" approach. UI isn't known for such. They wrote letters first that were ignored by the "VERY reasonable, always listening" Olayinka and the Dean of Students. They called off protests at first sign of hope. I must say they've done quite well in the event of things
