tumababa:


I’m not a student. Knowing how to use the internet is part of learning. Especially social science.

micflo28:
I rather opine that government should give out to students tablets on zero interest rate loan to be paid by parents and fully loaded with 10Gig data to aid online classes from their respective homes. Private universities can be allowed to remain opened as they don't have the population public universities have. Science, Medicine and Engineering students can remain on campus but must observe all due protocols.

even if they try to do something like that people will still kick .

AntiFeminism:
that guy is a frustrated jambite.
Just ignore him

na so . You are definitely an undergraduate yourself .

chatinent:
There's no course that cannot be taught at home.

Will you keep quiet

IbokPatrick:
Our girlfriends dy Social Science abeg

gbam .

Angelfrost:


It should... It has been successfully dodging markets, religious/worship centers, political rallies/gatherings, elite weddings, etc, in Nigeria for over a year now!

So, why keep the long-suffering students at home??!

well I hope it keeps dodging schools .

Cuntface:


Kindly take your opinion and shove it.
Stupid uneducated thing

I love this
Best reply to that dumb and foolish idiot

Richy4:


Can you imagine his Guts? .....
In as much as he got a valid reason that courses should be taught online because of Covid,..... but singling out faculties just because he can was outrageous... He was implying that Engineering and other faculties he mentioned has no theoretical aspects........as a matter of fact, how many time do they do practical in Nigerian institution?

Take computer/ electrical engineering for example, there are certain things/ element that those offering that course does not know it's function/ use even when they were in Final year.... Civil engineering students, how many times do they go on field work for practical?... I don't know if he was deliberately trying to annoy people.... If that was the case, He got me..

You're just being unnecessarily aggressive over a logical post. Every course has its own perculiarity. It doesn't take its glory away from it.

Asking how many times engineering students carry out practicals is laughable because they do it almost every day. That does not mean they are being taught how to repair television or radio. What you don't know is really beyond you.

AntiFeminism:
you're stupid and dumb

madam, stop dey catch feelings. What OP said was the truth. If you go to a public university, the only thing a lecturer does is to give you handouts to photocopy. And if he pleases, he explains a thing or two and tells you to prepare for exams. All this can be done online. Except for the science students OP mentioned who have to go to the laboratory for physics, chemistry, medical etc practicals.
Why most of una dey complain na because una wan leave house come flex freedom for school. Especially all this art students wey nothing dem dey do for school.

SirWarlock:
the same ones that will still come and shout school na scam .

Na dem.
Oyigbo and all this private universities wey dey do online classes sef no better pass our public school systems.

membranus:


The cost of maintaining them in the school campus, which includes feeding, accommodation and transport, can buy any data they need for internet acess at home.

I can see your membrane is leaking.
Go fix it before you comment

edoairways:

Public universities are subsided by the government so what stop them from subsiding data? You didn't consider other fingers or you think all fingers are equal?. You think because James wears good shirts and shoes all is well. Don't you see people begging for money to eat on this platform or are they spirit. Haven't you ask why many public universities delay their resumption?. If you think education is expensive as you claim, why the sudden reduction of fees by Lagos state government, at least he should have increased it?

this argument will take us no where...wether you like or not, education comes with its own spending and it's even much easier to get access to lectures online than get crowded in lecture halls where one has to stand sometimes to receive lectures. All you based your conclusion is people don't have money bla! Take it or leave it, online lecture is cheaper compared to one having to go lecture halls.

If a social science student can have access to whatsapp, he can av access to online class.

elmessiahs:
very illogical, belittling one faculty while exhorting another is symptomatic of bias and this simply shows why Nigeria is backward. with such thought in peoples mind, we are heading for a crash

How has he belittled a faculty? Every course has its own perculiarity. Even abroad, they run some of these courses online too.

The issue is inferiority complex. When you feel inferior, instead of approaching issues objectively, you see it from a point of marginalisation.

AntiFeminism:
You're a fool and idiot for this trash you've posted

I thought all tertiary institutions has resumed for kids like this to leave NL

edoairways:

An average zoom video call is about 400mb. So if you have classes for 4 days, it is about 1.6G. Secondly, many locality have poor network signal.

Alright I get you

edoairways:
I disagree with you on this. To start with,how many students can afford data for zoom video calls?. Talk is indeed cheap

The cost of paying for rent for a year at school will cover for data

Online lecture is cheap?. . So because you could afford 1.5 gig data, you think others can?. You think all cities and villages have stable network for video streaming?.

KingAlabi:

Alright I get you

That is the issue. If the cost of data can be subsized, then it might work even though some areas may have poor network signal. Better still, lecturers can record their lectures and then post them on YouTube.

Engineering students carry out practical everyday? In Nigerian institutions? Haahaha

Yes Ma, my Ms Antifeminism, I will quickly fix my leaking membrane.

Forgive me, na small boy dey do me. Mek you no vex, I no want your kasala.

Richy4:

Are you deliberately blind to the "almost" or you're just whining? Well, I don't expect you to know these things. Who no go no go know. Engineering is not English or sociology.

femi4:
Who will incure the data cost

The schools can charge only tuition fee and forget the additional fees they charge. E.g maintenance and all. This way, students will pay lesser amount while learning from home. That way they can use the little they have to get data. And the classes can be 3 times a week.

chatinent:

How do you teach Medicine and Surgery at home? Or you just wanted to say something?

Auladimeji:
You're very correct but majorities of the medicine are useless in Nigeria,90% of drugs in Nigeria are imported yet people have been studying this course since ages.
How many technology can repair or cupple a Nokia touch phone...Many go to school but school no go through them

When you make statements like this you should also point out how the problem should be solved. If you say its belittling then proffer a solution on how to teach students of Medicine and Surgery. Don't just type sentimentally...add a little wisdom

HigherEd:
Considering the current Covid19 increased virulence and the obvious lack of a vaccine in Nigeria. it might be a good idea for students of social sciences, education, business and commerce, law etc to go back home in a bid to depopulate the Universities.

The reason is majority of these programmes can be conveniently taught online. As a matter of fact, the recent zoom update is quite better improved to support teaching. E.g a large class of students can now breakout into different breakout sessions therefore improving the experience.

The only students that should be retained in school at this moment in my opinion should be those of the science and technology, medicine and surgical departments who need to use laboratories and can't simulate such an educational experience online.

MyTwoCents

the levels of medicine, engineering and sciences that don't require lab teaching should be sent home as well.

BadBradley:

now that's a point that people could have added. Basically like what OAU is planning.

Medical graduates in Nigeria useless? Really? The rest of the world doesn't agree with you.

Y'all talking about data, how about cost of staying in school like transport, cost of food and miscellaneous sha, so they should divert all that into getting data

sapoyoro:
who will incure cost of data?
talk is cheap

Life evolves and so everything thereof, we need to understand that every challenge (e.g covid-19) came with equal blessings but it takes openness of mind to digest and identify it. So many activities have gone online this days as a result of restrictions placed on Individuals in order to curb the covid-19, many organizations does their work online and likewise many schools. I support the motion that government and individual bodies needs to look into the idea of online activities holistically and vet out ways it can be a blessing for everyone. It is not a must to be at the four wall of school before we can learn, and I think it will be a plus because we will be able to do many other things while we're still pursuing a degree, one should not be stuck in school just for a degree. It should be an holistical view and will be moderated n perfect over time.

Princessjoke:

its not always that straightforward ma'am..
for some people its actually cheaper to be in school than home.
