You are a spirit, all humans are spiritbeings though, what is the difference between human being, mankind and God being's

Is that a question or comedy?

It is actually a question, Sukkot was a popular Nairalander and I have engaged him several times

Crossbreeding and cloning and asexual reproduction and DNA sequencing of diverse creatures from multiples of realms have produced cocktales of homo sapiens sapiens vehicles for any entities to ride. higher dimensional beings, lower dimensional beings and even the Gods have fuccked different things and produce spectrum of species that ride on our shapes and sizes and I refuse to startle the unawakened with hard truths that will wreck their very existence.

Everyone has the right to grow at their pace. I must respect that.

UI is like that, they are happy when they see you drop out of frustration. I was once there for msc Economics

Did you both get married after the engagement or it was just for the fun of arguments which is a total waste of time in space

Oh lord this isn't fair can this ever be true?... This is a First class level of outright internal Wickedness and Impunity... Please help us .... Make us proud of our Alma maters anywhere we go. We had it before we came in yet we went coz we're a wind of change. We left but surprised the matter is still all the same.. Our founding fathers didn't meant it this way..... Success can be relative not absolute... I however know some people who completed their PhD in 4 years in same university... Somehing is wrong somewhere... We can help each other win... It's not one man's world! The benefits its all ours...
Ui's the first and the "Best" part Is now under self attack...
Prayer; Father please heal our first born... .. Help us to imbibe the art of genuine hard word without missing out any iota of our deserving rewards... Deal with every wicked soul... Hear us lord we pray!

What just happened portrays what many m.sc and PhD students go through in many public universities

In ATBU bauchi, master degree takes more than 5yrs to complete. Nigeria education system is outdated.

Lol... and they think it makes the school look competitive. Nigerians need intellectual Omo to wash their thinking pattern clean.

On a second thought that's like master degree in slavery.

A.O Zubair is the most brilliant person I've ever come across. He taught me Abstract Algebra in 200 level and Reimann Integral in 300 level. I never missed any of his classes because he made the most complex mathematics look like a piece of cake. UI really lost a rare gem. RIP AOZ!

I almost run comot d thread when I see Reimann Integral, dat course no b here.

This is what I received from someone so I don't know who to believe.
Copied:
I just read, with shock, that a University of Ibadan lecturer in Mathematics Dept. has taken his life, primarily because he had spent 22 years on his PhD programme without a headway, because his professors were insensitive and saw the delay as normal. This is the practice in most public universities, my alma mater, UI being no exception.

My office roommate back in UI (thankfully, now a professor) was on his PhD for 11 years before finally bagging the elusive degree. He was ready long before the time, but the system (particularly his supervisor) wasn't ready for him. He had aged a bit before eventually earning this feat.

This irresponsible practice takes no one, no where. It shortchanges the student, department and university. It shortchanges the supervisor too, as he ends up having low or no credits in his PhD supervision experience or production of PhDs. No one wins when PhD students are unduly delayed. In the process of keeping students on their PhD programme for too long, for no tangible reason, other than "that's the culture", or for them to "mature", or to go through what they, the older professors had gone through as doctoral students during their time, the whole university system remains and suffers at a mediocre level.

I strongly condemn the process that led to the sad incident at UI. I belong to the generation of senior scholars that will support every hardworking PhD student to make rapid and legitimate progress. We celebrate people's progress and success here. Let every professor leading their students to suicide by their unethical and wicked act of delaying them in their academic programme learn from this regrettable Ibadan episode and do their job professionally and with the fear of God.

How many years does it actually take to complete a PhD program ?

22 years? that's a very very long time.

I heard he later got his PhD from Sweden which UI vehemently refused to accept.

Minimum is 3 years maximum 5 years

Ugosample:


Britain gives master's one year

You are right, but not in the US, except the school is fake!

Ugosample:

hmmm

but a masters in Britain takes one year

And in University of Lagos, between 12 months and 18 months depending

You are correct, I have friends who got their masters in the UK in one year, but I schooled in the US, I don’t know how the British system works.. I beg masters na masters O jare, it all depends on who you are, your personality

Your degree may give u a job, but your personality will sustain it for u

Tomide007:
He taught me algebra in 200level ...and I can say for a fact that he is the smartest lecturer in maths department... Better than those profs ...there were so many conspiracies against that guy.......If you're a genius please don't join Nigeria academia. ....there is also a genetic scientist in zoology department of ui.. But ui refused to recognise his PhD because he didn't receive his PhD from ui but from UK......the reason is dt he had to convert his PhD to ui standard... This said man is about the best geneticist in Nigeria.

That man is depriving this world of his talents. If the guy should relocate to South Africa there he will make impacts and will have more funding for research.

People should remember that time in this life is limited and should abandon pride and misplaced dedication. How can you dedicate your life to an institution that is dedicated to your frustrations? It makes no sense.

In the end, private unis will take over finally. The public school system is too backward and bureaucratic, and the people within the private system refuse to accept that there are problems talk less of fixing them.

Private schools cant afford such an Outlook and are always innovating. In 10 years Covenant will be the best University in Nigeria and nobody will be able.to argue.

The upper classes will send their kids to private schools and those classes are the ones that would have been able to fight for change in public unis. Public schools will simply be left to rot since the children of the elite will not be affected by any issues that they have.

I stopped reading Prof Ayoola's account when I got to where he said he is a Christian and pastor.

Same with my school l had my first degree: it takes 3-4yrs to get a masters degree, same degree that is possible within three semesters in the US....

Na lie..!!!!! You think everybody is ignorant abi ...M.SC is 2 YEARS in the USA. There's no Sakamanje u can do, u will spend 2years surely

AKswift:
Same with my school l had my first degree: it takes 3-4yrs to get a masters degree, same degree that is possible within three semesters in the US....

Are you sure of the above bolded statements?

I did my own Masters almost two decades ago at Unilag and it took me exactly TWO Semesters (one Academic Year) and that is what it takes everyone to do a 'Masters by Coursework', except if you failed one or more courses and you had to repeat the semester(s).

I have to confess that one of the reasons l swore never to do a PhD program in Nigeria was because of this same "Dobale" culture where your Supervisor holds you to ransom and would only "release you" from his grip, whenever he chooses to, irrespective of whether you had completed your dissertation or not.
I have seen many cases where "Prof.' gave all the courses that he is being paid to teach, to his Doctoral student and the PhD student just labors for the Supervisor year-in, year-out. Some of these PhD supervisors are nothing for the worst sadists that ever existed.

WRT the case of Mr. Zubair, my opinion is that his death was as a result of many frustrating situations and eventual murder:

1.) he was likely depressed from his unending Doctoral pursuit. that Ayoola saying rubbish up there is a bogus liar. His statements are so stupendous and silly, they dont deserve any response. Under no circumstance should anyone be subjected to the horor this guy was subjected to! 22yrs pursuing a PhD and registering for the same program , over and over again? This is sheer wickedness and inhuman.
And from testimonies of his former students, he is mentally sound, sane and honest so what is it that makes him 'register and register, over and over again, for 22yrs?

2.) A Judge had decided to make his life miserable by appropriating a large chunk of his salary to his estranged wife such that the man sees himself and working for someone else and at the same time, his PhD was not attainable. This is an obvious casualty of feminism and insane laws that emasculate the husband, due to a family break-up.

3.) When he could not take it anymore, l guess he decided to end the "income" by resigning from his job. Since his salary was being deducted "at source", he decided to end the "slavery' by resigning because if he does not work and earn money, there would be nothing to deduct. Those who pay alimony or excessive child-support (its actually not about SUPPORTING the child because close to 90% of such money goes into buying frivolities and the "child" does not really benefit from it that much but "the law is what it is').
This si mostly why he resigned his appointment but like most "senior lecturers", you can still hang around in your official quarters for some years before being finally booted out if you dont find your way.

4.) What 'was alleged" to finally killed him was a fire-outbreak!
Now, that should be thoroughly investigated but unfortunately, we are in a country where intelligence is scarce among those who are saddled wit this kind of job. I would bet that he was murdered and/or then set on fire.
My "theory" is that those who initially were the beneficiaries of his income, organised his death since he has deprived them of such money.
if we can get good forensics on ground, it can easily be established first that the fire was deliberate arson and after that, it can be shown that it probably was not the fire that killed him or it was set deliberately to kill him (maybe locked inside to prevent escape so that he dies from asphyxiation). Recall that his body was not burnt!

In all, it is a sad end to a very hardworking and honest genius. The Nigerian system failed this man totally but Justice could still be served to his murderers..

When a sitting President and his Vice (Obasanjo and Atiku) super-intended over an 18month strike of ASUU, (wherein students were left at home for 18months) , did nothing about the strike for 18months but used the Period to loot our money, acquire University licenses for themselves and both built personal and private universities for themselves (Bells University and ABTKU ), then we should all know that the destruction of public universities was a deliberate policy of those in Power and Authority, so as to foster the profitability of their own private university since they dont want competition.

If l were Buhari, l will SEIZE any Private university owned and built by anyone who occupied Public office in the last twenty years and convert it to public use, apart from massive funding of the existing, public universities

Lies, why did he then kill himself??

We all know that this is the situation in Nigeria at the moment.
Where a Lecturer tells you that if he did not make First Class, no student under him can make it.
Where a Professor will tell you that if he took him 15Years to get his PH.D, it must take you 22 Years!

The Lecturer prollly saw the effect of the killing of that young man by SARS and decided to offer himself as sacrifice so that the ill can be corrected. I hope.

If I get the first poster right (OP), he kept repeating a particular stage of his PHD because he was trying to make his performance a perfect one.
That doesn't make much sense except his village people are on par with Lionel Messi and CR7.

It does make sense if you are a perfectionist and set very high standards for yourself .

Like my bible reading for today , seeks balance . Don't be in the extreme.
