cyril83: That's what they call SUMMER and it's not applicable to CU only,it's for all private uni

lillies: but lemme say xomtin. as a chemical engn. studnt i did cve 202 (strength of materials) in my 200level days. i recvd my lectures in cve 202 one hour everyday, monday tru thursday. and on friday my lecturer wud travel 2 CU 2 take ALL THE CVE courses from 1st 2 final year classes in 1 day.
hope u can imagin d diff in standards.
GREAT IFE tell dem say dey neva see d wrath of white house!

dayohope1:
I see. Now I know why they do have so many first class graduates. In government owned universities, if you fail any paper, your GP is lowered by that failed paper. It also. Means that if you fail several papers in CU and able to pass your SUMMER papers, you could still graduate with a very strong first class. Can you imagine. In my work place, they work where they only talk but not where the soul of the organisation is.

hustla:

Bro' and u can't construct one simple sentence??!! You 'thought' her what she knows??I smell beef and envy!! 'She was there before u came after her nysc?!!'. Listen to yaself!!


Slow bloke! Pls stfu and sit down were ---------------» _______/

sheyguy:
Guy you are a bloody liar, i challenge u to name that lecturer. There are no such thing in the CU i know. I will like to know the name of that lecturer.
U said u recieved lecture on that course an hour a day for four days a week. That makes it a 4 unit course in your great ife whereas that same course is a two unit course in CU . . . If you are anything close to average, academically, then u shld know the implication of that silly and incriminating post of yours. A course a basic as 'strength of material' under the standard of CU as imposed by the sch itself must have a minimum of two resident lecturers with at least a master degree to anchor it. I wonder wetin u wan gain with this your lie oh.
And for your info, Strength of material as specified NUC is not a core chemical engineering course but you stupidly come on the pages of NL to drag the rep' of 'Great Ife' in the mud like u just did. . . I wonder how many hours you have to do you core chemical Engr. courses if at all they have the lecturers for those courses.
Another silly part of your post talks about one single lecturer from Ife taking all the CVE course of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 level students in a single day. Guy to be fair, your post reeks with stupidity and i don't see any reason not to call u a stupid lying fellow.
ALL HAIL GREAT IFE . . . where the standard is so low that one of theirs can't even cook up a lie brilliantly. . . . Lol !

AK 48: Most of these illiterate in private uni especially the 1.1, wrote jamb n pume with us,we dusted them by far,rather than read hard to gain admission next year,then went to these financial establishent of the highest bidder called "private uni",now they have a ist class,so so so unfortunate for the labour market to handle.

D'Soj:
Bullshit. Scam. Serious Mediocrity. A school collecting over 400k as fees? How do U want dem to justify d fees if de don't dash dem 1st class? Abeg joor.. 80 of dose so called 1st class grads can't do wat a polytechnic grad can do.. I was with dem @ NYSC camp som years back.. De are mostly dumb spoon fed children. De couldn't write application. Let dere be a public debate and open academic competition, U'll see their folly..

uche92: hahaha this is hilarious. the egem-odey guy went to my sec school and didnt even graduate top 40. Wow what can I say? Good for him though

komodapson: sharap there..whats CU...There graduates are always been asked to take all undergraduate courses,if not all @MSc level in University of Ibadan.they find it hard 2 cope with the trend..always asking foolish and unwarranted ? while in class.omo just go sit down and rely on ur papa connection.mind u, life is not bed of Roses.

harryakon: Why can't you guys just get it that private uni's av a better learning environment than Uni's where dey strike, lecturers make passes @ students, u av 2 cook, no light, dere r parties 2 distracxt u, cultists and more. Private uni's create an enabling environment and dat is responsible for the high no of good results. They are privately run institutions hence have goals and pplans which they follow and hence can produce such because of DEDICATED staff and ENABLING ENVIROBMENT. So forget all d rubbish about it being unfounde. It is known dat it's always possible for someone to come out wit a first class and not b proactive or savvy, bt dat is a product of d world educational system and not CU's fault.

cyril83: just leave the f.o.o.ls to their f.oo.l.I.shness,inferiority complex had made most of these pple lose their sense of reasoning,imagine one of them was comparing Eksu to CU,nawa oh,Nlanders will never ceased to amaze me

sheyguy:
So in your own school if u fail a course and are to redo it they cancel the initial one you 've failed and allow u have a clean slate before retaking that course or what exactly are u about here? In any case i would like to know that school u graduated from. It is easy to see why students of certain schools are denied anything close to a first class. The lecturers themselves know the students had to buy the marks they get and can't defend themselves. . . or how do we explain the daft poster i just qouted.

precious nlem: guy didn't Ÿ̲̣ø̲u̶̲̅ learn abt punctuation marks in U̶̲̥̅̊Я̲̅ primary school? Abi na so Ÿ̲̣ø̲u̶̲̅ dumb reach? Chipmunk...hehehehe!

harryakon:
So u saying it is impossible for someone to find the right way in university and apply it to achieve academic success? Don't be parochial, change happens.

sandy409: .The writer must b 4rm one of these Private Universities, may b such kud also b a first class holder too!

LET THEM BRING THOSE FIRST CLASS STUDENT DOWN TO UNILAG, UNIBADAN OR OAU FOR CROSS-EXAMIATION

BlackPikiN: Ota (Ogun) – Nineteen-year-old Wukeh Egem-Odey on Friday emerged the overall best graduating student of the Covenant University, Ota in Ogun in the 2011/ 2012 academic session.

Egem-Odey is among the 88 first class students produced by the university in the academic session.

The first class students were among 1,389 persons conferred with various degrees at the university’s seventh convocation ceremony at Ota.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Aize Obayan, said that 10 of the graduating students were less than 19 years old.

Obayan said that 646 of the graduands had second class, upper division while 576 graduated in second class, lower division while 79 received third class degrees.

The vice chancellor said that the institution’s School of Postgraduate Studies graduated a total of 89 students out of which 70 had master’s degree and 19 PhDs.

Obayan said that the university had, in its first 10 years of existence, laid a solid foundation for raising a generations of new leaders.

In his address, the Chancellor of the University, Dr David Oyedepo, decried the heightening insecurity in Nigeria and appealed to the Federal Government to address the problem urgently.

Oyedepo said that young Nigerian graduates were ready to shun the National Youth Service Corps scheme because of insecurity.

“Everyone today can see that the greatest threat to our nationhood is the ongoing mass killing and attack on churches, since December, 2010, which has claimed over 1,500 souls and left many wounded.

“The state of insecurity in our country today seems to have defied all logical approach but it remains a duty to stamp out this ugly situation from our country before it claims further casualties,’’ he said.

He pointed out that standard of living in the country was declining because of insecurity, regretting the increasing unemployment in the country, saying that about 40 million youths were jobless or underemployed.

“We can only make a loud call for a ‘stop and think’ approach because we need intellectual bravery in our universities if we must attain relevance and secure our environment for peace and progress.

“We desperately require the right kind of education that will culminate in the emergence of the right kind of leaders and promote the right values,’’ he said.

Oyedepo told the graduating students to be of good behaviour and to contribute their quota to national development.

A former Minister of Education, Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, said there was an urgent need for African countries to bridge the productivity gap between men and women through institutional reforms and effective public investment.

She said that women had poor access to education and skill acquisition opportunities.

Ezekwesili said that empowerment of women to participate actively in a modern society would enlarge the scope of human capital that would power economic growth.

“Every society that disrespects the right of women to access basic services ignores their right to participate in the decision-making process in the family and the general society,’’ she said.

Ezekwesili advised the graduands to be focused in the pursuit of their visions.

Responding on behalf of the graduands, Egem-Odey pledged that they would be among those to improve Nigeria’s economic fortune.

Egem-Odey, an accountant, said that Nigeria had the potential to compete favourably with great economies but needed to strengthen various institutions to achieve the feat.

On his achievement, he said: “I denied myself comfort and pleasure which a lot of our youths are not ready to do.

“I wish to advise those looking up to me to place emphasis on long-term plans and proper execution in order to soar,’’ he said. (NAN)

sheyguy:
Mr. UI, few months back UI had similar number of first class grads from about 1500 graduating students and it was normal for NLders and Nigerians, why is Cu's own and that of Private Unis always different. There was a thread on that particular topic on Nairaland. U can Google it if you think i am lying.

kpompey: Pragmatically,students from private universities are zero,my female cousin cannot survive a session in U.I and she eventually had a 2.1 from Bowen.I tell u dis is crazy.Oyedepo is a serious business-man and C.U tuition justify this.
