157 Students Graduate With 1st Class Honours From Covenant University

A total of 157 students of the Covenant University, Ota, Ogun, on Friday bagged First Class degrees at its 2015/2016 convocation.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Charles Ayo, disclosed this during the 11th Convocation Ceremony and Conferment of Honourary Doctorate Degrees, and presentation of prizes in Ota.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 1495 students graduated this academic session.

They comprised 157 first class honours, 708-second class upper honours, 513-second class lower, 118 in third class and 154 post graduate students.

Ayo said that the university has instituted strategic goals that distinguished its students as clear leaders among the comity of universities, not only in Nigeria, but in Africa.

The don identified some of the strategic goals as compulsory internship for all students to gain industry experience, additional certifications in ICT, leadership, entrepreneurship and foreign language.

Ayo also said that the goals include the introduction of Mobile Learning System for improved external and internal efficiency.

Also speaking, Dr. David Oyedepo, the Chancellor of the Institution, noted that in the drive for excellence, the university has continued to blaze the trail and extend the frontiers of knowledge through research.

Oyedepo said that emphasis has been placed on converting research into tangible problem-solving products and that the effort had yielded laudable results.

He urged the Federal Government to increase the country’s annual budget for education because economic growth is the result of investment in education.

”Nigeria cannot have the desired change until our government starts investing massively in education,’’ Oyedepo said.

He said that education was a platform to produce highly skilled personnel that would drive economic growth.

Oyedepo added that Nigeria could only restore its lost glory and esteem through investing in education.

He advised the Federal Government to re-double its efforts in tacking corruption in the system, so that a sustainable development could be achieved through investment in education.

Prof. Jerry Gana, a former Nigerian Minister of Information and Orientation, lamented the lack of training facilities for Nigeria’s graduates.
He observed that poor access to quality education and too many students competing for few spaces had hindered the standard of education.

Gana, who is the Pro-Chancellor /Chairman of the Governing Council of University of Lagos, appealed to the Federal Government to provide adequate funding for universities, so that the vocational imbalance in the system could be addressed.

He said that to restore academic standard in Nigeria, there was the need for infrastructure development in the nation’s institutions.

10 ways the new guidelines affect students seeking admission into tertiary institutions

JAMB has released a new system for admitting students into tertiary institutions.A few days ago, the Joint Examination and Matriculation Board, JAMB, released a new system for admitting students into tertiary institutions.

This comes after the Federal Government put an end to the practice of Post-UTME in institutions across Nigeria.

The Nation explores 10 ways the new JAMB system affects the admission-seeking Nigerian student.

1. dates can no longer go directly to the institutions they applied to seeking admission; they have to get a provisional admission letter from JAMB first.
2. Admission letter would be issued by JAMB based on points assigned to the O Level and UTME results
3. For O Level, one sitting attracts 10 points, while two sittings, is assigned two points
4. The better the O Level results, the more the points (e.g. ;  A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks)
5. For UTME scores, candidates can get between 20 and 60 points (180-200=20-23 points; 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43 points, 300-400=44-60 points)
6. Point-based system for Direct Entry candidates still being developed
7. Yes, candidates will still be screened by universities, polytechnics and colleges of education after getting a provisional admission letter from JAMB
8. Yes, candidates will pay for the screening
9. The screening will no longer take the usual written/examination form.
10. Cut-off marks to be stipulated by institutions for courses would be point-based

OPEN THE DOOR!!!

My Dogs have started barking again, complaining in my head as I opened my eyes slowly, it was still dark outside, I touched every thing close to me trying to get a feel of my Phone, I finally got it and pressed the middle button, the light was so bright, it was 1:45Am.

Major and ugly we’re still barking, but their bark did not bother me, not until I heard voices downstairs.

I reached for my door but it was too late as I heard footsteps on the staircase so I shut my door and locked it. They heard because their footstep stooped, so I stood at the front of my door. scared, hoping that they didn’t hear me.
The Gods must be on my side because the footsteps were fading away.
But I heard my mom scream and I was terrified, Where they beating my mother?  How many are they?  What do they want?  Questions rotating in my head as I Could not help but worry, will they kill my parents and my little sister?
Where is your daughter!? They asked
I started panicking, how did they know about me?  What do they want from me?

“Open this door and if you call the police we’ll kill your parents” was the next thing I heard, unknown to them that I already have and my uncle in benin, even though we’re in abuja.
I won’t call the police but please don’t hurt my parents, I begged.
We won’t hurt them if you open the door, he said….
Princess don’t open the door , my mum screamed, I heard a loud noise and my mum was quiet.
I was scared for what has happened to my mother so I opened the door.
On opening, a masked huge man dragged me by my hair into my parents room, my mother was on the floor unconsious, my little sister crying and my father burying his head on the floor.
A man came entered limping from the door, he said “You! You made a fool out of me’ referring to my father. All I was waiting for was to hear sirens, It was strange how familiar his voice sounded, the next thing that happened was the turning point of my life.

'How female students come to my office, expose breasts to tempt me' - VC of Ekiti state University

“There is a difference between temptation and falling into temptation. For example, we are all men here and that makes it good. Supposing a woman is here now, the atmosphere will not be the same."

Vice Chancellor of Ekiti State University, EKSU, Prof. Samuel Oye Bamidele has opened up on how he has been able to overcome temptations from the opposite sex while suggesting punishment for lecturers who cannot rise above such temptations.

Speaking in an interview with TheNation, Bamidele explained that, like any lecturer, he has been sexually harassed by female students.

 

He said, “some students will come with the intention to tempt you, trying to make eye contacts, and I will say, what are you trying to do? For you to be able to overcome temptation, you must resist it.

“I want to say that every human being is tempted at one point or the other. And maybe I should say it today, the power of being a Christian is that God will give you the ability, the unusual supernatural power to be able to overcome temptation without falling into it.

“There is a difference between temptation and falling into temptation. For example, we are all men here and that makes it good. Supposing a woman is here now, the atmosphere will not be the same.

“I will not say I have not been tempted in the sense that maybe an amorous person comes in, wanting to show a quarter of her breast. I will say, ‘Excuse me, go out and dress properly. As a lecturer, you can’t come into my office like that.’”

Asked what measures his administration is putting in place to prevent cases of sexual harassment of female students by their male lecturers, he said, “We are going to work on that.

“We are trying to put some things in place that will checkmate some lecturers that cannot keep their libido, and to that extent, we are going to go through management and then the Senate to fashion out some strategies to protect our female students from sexual harassment. That one is being planned, I may not feel out everything now."

He explained that new regulations will be put in place to checkmate issues of sexual harassment in terms of students' mode of dressing.

“Female students can harass male students by their amorous outlook. We want to checkmate those things and for the staff, admin, teaching and non-teaching, we are going to have some codes that will create a level of restriction as to how they can harass female students,” the pastor added.

UK university offers Nigerians discount on tuition

Omiunu said that the school had also made provision for Nigerian students to benefit from its global internship scheme.

 A university located in the United Kingdom, De Montfort has disclosed that it is offering Nigerians discount of £3,000 on its tuition in its undergraduate, Master’s and PhD programmes.

A lecturer in the School of Law, Dr. Ohio Omiunu, made this revelation, adding that the purpose of the discount was to make its programmes more affordable and to encourage more Nigerians to benefit from them.Speaking to journalists on last week Thursday, June 16, in Lagos, Omiunu said that the school had also made provision for Nigerian students to benefit from its global internship scheme.

He explained that the scheme, available to 30 Nigerians, was not only for them to earn cash while studying, but also for the beneficiaries to pick up transferable skills that would build their employability. He said, “We have the paid global intern scheme for Nigerians. We have 30 slots available for them this session, whereby once you are admitted and you are one of the 30, you are guaranteed a place where you can earn money and gain some knowledge.

“Once you have a conditional offer from us, the school will interview you over the phone, and if you are lucky, you get a slot. We have two other countries, Pakistan and India, benefiting from this apart from Nigeria.”

Omiunu stated that DMU has an exchange programme in progress, whereby students from Nigeria could exchange with their counterparts from DMU for about a semester or two, in addition to its distance learning programme.He noted that the partnership the school was seeking with Nigerian universities, which it already secured with some, was to explore avenues for transfer of knowledge and capacity building. He said the school had become the preferred choice for many Nigerians because of its ranking among other institutions.

Afe Babalola:We should imbibe the spirit of self-sustainability'

 
The former Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos said diversifying to areas other than academics would make universities financially strong and less dependent on their owners.

Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola, has urged universities to engage in ventures that will make them self-sustainable and impact positively on their immediate environment.

Speaking while hosting officials of the South African investment firm, AFRO BOIS on June 9, Babalola said his university is setting the pace in the areas of investment in businesses to make profit and create more jobs for the citizens.

He also added that his university decided to invite the team from South Africa for the purpose of finding ready market for its Teak Trees.

The legal luminary said the trees run into over one million stands among other export products grown on the institution’s large expanse of farms.

The former Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos said diversifying to areas other than academics would make universities financially strong and less dependent on their owners.

Apart from investment in business, Babalola said ABUAD has become a model in academic excellence as it now ranks as the second best private university in Nigeria.

Babalola told the guests from the former apartheid enclave that ABUAD has invested in ventures like merchandise, hospitality, farming, fishing, bakery, laundry, food processing, fruit juice processing and general consultancy.

He added that the university is building a teaching hospital to provide quality medical training and healthcare delivery, which will soon be ready for inauguration.

Babalola said: “We are not only good academically, we are also showing others how to imbibe spirit of self-sustainability.”

The leader of AFRO BOIS delegation, Mike Burgess, explained that there is presently a global market for timber.

He said trees produced by ABUAD Farms have the capacity of being processed for marketing.

Burgess added that his organisation deals majorly in agricultural products, lumbering marketing and processing.

NOUN University to partner with National Assembly to promote girl child education

Vice Chancellor of NOUN, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, urged the members of the National Assembly to create awareness about the potentials of Open and Distance Learning.

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is seeking the assistance and partnership of the National Assembly to create educational opportunities for young Nigerian women and girls who have had no access to education due to cultural practices.

Speaking at a courtesy visit to the Senator representing Kano North Senatorial Zone at the National Assembly, Abuja, Senator Barau Jibrin, Vice Chancellor of NOUN, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, urged the members of the National Assembly to create awareness about the potentials of Open and Distance Learning.

Adamu added that this was part of the campaign to take education to the people at the lowest rung of the social ladder.

He explained that such cultural practices had relegated the womenfolk in the northern part of the country to the background and denied them their pride of place in nation-building.

The Vice-Chancellor said with flexible and affordable education being championed by the university, women now have unfettered access to education and this would help remove prejudices.

Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu

Responding, Senator Jibrin expressed his readiness to partner with the authorities of the university in spreading the potentials inherent in studying through the open and distance learning mode of education among his constituents.

The Senator, who expressed his interest in the ODL mode of education, disclosed that he had earlier sponsored a bill for a slight amendment of the Act setting up the NOUN in order to further project it as an institution driven by information and communication technology.

Photos: EFCC arraign two students of Benue State Polytechnic over N250,000 fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, arraigned the duo of James Ogwuche Alex and Oklewu Ene Gina before Justice B.O Quadri of the Federal High Court,Port Harcourt, Rivers State on a 2-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira only (N250, 000).

The petitioner, Professor Ndubuisi Eye, alleged that the suspects who are both students of Benue State Polytechnic hoodwinked him through an e-mail from a purported old friend by name Engineer Bartholomew requesting him to pay Two hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N250, 000) to an account number which he did. 

Power in Vulnerability

When most men hear the word “vulnerability,”
their immediate reaction is to associate it with
weakness. In general, men are raised to withhold
their emotions, to not show weakness, and to
ignore any hint of introspection. On top of that,
most of the popular pick up advice out there
encourages guys to be aloof, stand-offish,
judgmental and at times scathing towards
women.
Men have a lot of negative assumptions about
the ideas of being more vulnerable and opening
up to their emotions. Chances are it makes you a
little skeptical or queazy to see this chapter.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to have you hold
hands with some wimpy support group and recite
lines like, “I love myself and am a happy person.”
I want you to think of vulnerability in a more
broad way. Not just emotional vulnerability
(although we’ll get to that), but physical
vulnerability, social vulnerability.
For instance, making yourself vulnerable doesn’t
just mean being willing to share your fears or
insecurities. It can mean putting yourself in a
position where you can be rejected, saying a joke
that may not be funny, asserting an opinion that
may offend others, joining a table of people you
don’t know, telling a woman that you like her and
want to date her. All of these things require you
to stick your neck out on the line emotionally in
some way. You’re making yourself vulnerable
when you do them.

In this way, vulnerability represents a form of
power, a deep and subtle form of power. A man
who’s able to make himself vulnerable is saying
to the world, “I don’t care what you think of me;
this is who I am, and I refuse to be anyone else.”
He’s saying he’s not needy and that he’s high
status.
Most people think of a man who’s vulnerable as a
man who cowers in the corner and begs others to
accept him or not hurt him. This is not
vulnerability, this is weakness and neediness.
Think of it this way, there are two men. One
stands tall, looks straight ahead. Looks people in
the eye when he speaks to them. Says what he
thinks and is unconcerned with what others think
of him. When he makes a mistake, he shrugs it
off and maybe apologizes. When he sucks at
something, he admits it. He’s unafraid to express
his emotions, even if that means he gets rejected.
He has no problem moving on to people who
don’t reject him, but like him for who he is.
Now, the second man hunches over, eyes dart
around and is unable to look someone in the eye
without getting uncomfortable. He puts on a cool
persona that is always aloof. He avoids saying
things that may upset others, and sometimes
even lies to avoid conflict. He’s always trying to
impress people. When he makes a mistake, he
tries to blame others or pretend like it didn’t
happen. He hides his emotions and will smile and
tell everyone he’s fine even when he’s not. He’s
scared to death of rejection. And when he is
rejected, it sends him reeling, angry, and
desperate to find a way to win back the affection
of the person who doesn’t like him.
Which one of these two men is more powerful?
Which one is more vulnerable? Which one is
more comfortable with himself? Which one do
you think women would be more attracted to?
