Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote

Oluwatoyin,

It would definitely not be all lecturers but a greater percentage judging from the accounts of victims and witnesses.

"Uncritical emotion" you said? Well I am not going to engage you in any academic argument. 

If you had to beg your very academically brilliant daughter not to drop out of the university because of intimidation by a lecturer with the support of his colleagues because she refused to have amorous relationship with the lecturer in question, you would understand the issue at stake.

Thanks.

-CAO.

Oga Chidi,

"ALL LECTURERS in federal and state universities"!

 

Haba!

Na wa for you o.

Allow me to inform you,  sir, without denying wrong doing by some academics- I don't know the percentage- that without ASUU the public university system might cease to exist in any functional sense.

These are serious issues  to be handled with the critical attention and gravitas required.

It's not a time for uncritical emotion.

No offense meant.

Thanks

Toyin

Where would one start to narrate the ugly manner in which ASUU members and in fact all lecturers in both federal and state universities in Nigeria (Mal)treat students.

I have a daughter who attended the University of Port Harcourt.

There was a time I had to visit a lecturer at home to warn him that if my daughter who was doing very well in her grades up to her third year, fail any of his courses or any course taught by any of his friends, that I would make sure that there would be a public enquiry to be consisted of persons from outside the university. 

He had threatened my daughter that no matter what she wrote in the exams, that she would never pass any of his courses and that of his friends. 

Problem was that my daughter refused to be his lover as confirmed by other students who knew about the incident.

The above is just a tiny fraction of what really happens. Unfortunately, most of the students in Nigerian public universities do not have people to fight for them, most of those who have, would not report such incidents for fear of persecution by the concerned lecturers and their friends.

Thanks.

-CAO.

I know how many times I begged the girl not to drop out of school because of frustration prior to the warning.

Chidi, 

Please tell us how ASUU has treated students that has warranted your idea of Karma.

I am tempted to believe that the way the Nigerian government is treating ASUU is the hand work of karma because of the way ASUU members treat students.
