KendrickAyomide:Correct. The university is supposed to be a research institute when problems prevalent in the country as supposed to be addressed and solutions a provided in form of projects, seminars and others but here in Nigeria, the projects are heaped in dustbins. |

When there are no laboratories to carry out the research work, what do you expect? It is only in Nigeria a student pays for his lab dues and still goes outside the school to carry out lab tests,,,fraud is at its peak in Nigerian universities |

Dbboy:Calm down. it is often not the falt of the student because there is not structure on ground to help students learn how to write. Some students actually go to other schools to pick up finished project topics which they present to their supervisors. On approval, they go back to dub it word for word. I know of a particular case. |

Nigerian graduates that have never heard of turnitin will say foreign graduates have it easy academically. 60% seems very low BTW and I reckon the true percentage is in the 90s bar foreign Nigerian universities and some private universities. 1 Like |

Wrong! It's actually 98% at undergraduate level, 92% at Masters level and 88% at PhD level. |
Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by Isobug: 7:15am On Nov 09, 2018 |
He is saying 60% but I say 90%. Because even when you bring up a fresh a topic, those mumu lecturers would not approve it, they would want a topic that would follow the bandwagon. This is sad because research helps students than just copying |

Copy and paste projects or thesis are what we have today even with all the technology.A trip to Nigerian National Libraries will shock you and tell you about poor interest of government in educating its citizens.No new books to lay your hand on only dusty old books are available and the same scenario runs through most of the public universities. |

It's called garbage in garbage out. You can't give what you don't have. You expect a student who's been learning under poor condition to finally develop projects to solve modern contemporary issues, When he has been learning under the worst kind of condition. Abeg park well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

My project was 80% original Yes, I borrowed some ideas from old projects. It's is a fabrication project and that particular equipment has never been produced in the school. The equipment got missing even before I finished my clearance |

I graduated from FUTMINNA in 2014, and turnitin has been in use then and still in use now. someone also mentioned UNN on an earlier comment and I know quite a number of universities have been using anti plagiarism softwares and other measures. As Nigerians we find it easier to paint ourselves in bad light, we enjoy complaining about everyone and everything with no one providing solutions. When someone is trying to make a change about things we complained about, we will badmouth the change and prefer to badly generalize everything. Plagiarism is reducing in some Nigerian Universities, take it or leave it. 1 Like |

Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by jimts(m): 7:43am On Nov 09, 2018 |
As a mechanical engineering undergraduate, when I wanted to do my own project back then in ABU Zaria, I scanned all the project topics in my departmental library to be sure that the topic I had in mind has not been worked on. After that, I started the project, built a model and added so many features that the actual project writeup was only about 30% of the work I did physically. On the defense day, there were two separate panels, each panel sent someone to come whisper to me that I should come and do my presentation with them. After defense, they took my project and put it in general school library museum. Till date, people call me to ask questions about it but no one has been bold enough to attempt doing something similar, let alone plagiarize my work. And for those who see doubt in everything people say, use this link as a consolation biko https://m.facebook.com/NaijaCarGuru/photos/pcb.520961354954180/520960868287562/?type=3&source=49 1 Like

Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by Nobody: 7:44am On Nov 09, 2018 |
I totally agree. A project in say, UNN is gotten by a student in LASU and it is copied word-for-word. |

Why suffer to write a project when u can copy and paste. |
Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by Mayorid(m): 7:52am On Nov 09, 2018 |
Absolutely true... I would even it 100% sef.. When the project we are writing sef is as useless as anything... Most of us just write it for the grades and not for anything so important. So, why waste your precious time on useless.... |

No more creativity and ingenuity. Intellectual dishonesty everywhere. I remember the rigours we passed through while writing thesis in those days. Students just have to be original... it pays! |
Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by mooretes: 8:37am On Nov 09, 2018 |
inkon: And the definition of plagiarism is? this type of thing should be stopped - I'm sorry but it is not the students work - the idea of an assignment, essay or dissertation is for the person to do it by themself - if it is contracted to someone else then it becomes your intellectual property. It is common in the UK too, turnutin or any other plagiarism software doesn't really detect that someone else wrote the essay on behalf of the student, however as lecturers/tutors we are aware that this is happening - just Google and you will see loads of adverts just like yours looking for academic writers to help students with things like this. It is a shame it is dishonest should a student turn such essay in 1 Like |
