DOU, Dennis Osadebay University, is a Government owned University in Asaba Delta State. The School has some wonderful course combination and modern courses which I find interesting. Not all the courses have been put on their website because the website is still under development. Website: https:www.dou.edu.ng
Humanities
1. History, Strategic Studies and International Studies (note that International Studies, International Relations and International Affairs are the same. Combining it with History/ Strategic Studies give you edge in the labour market)
2. Creative Arts: this department offers B.A. Theatre Arts, B.A. Performing Arts and B.A. Visual Art
3. Modern European Languages: This department includes French and other Languages
4. English Language and Literary Studies
5. Philosophy, Politics and Economics
6. Religion and Human Relations
Then you have BSC Software Engineering, BSC Cyber Security and many more in Faculty of computing

The following is a list of Nigerian Universities with stable or likely stable academic activities
1. Delta State University, Abraka - Website: https://www.delsu.edu.ng. This University has high standard and has maintained stable academic calendar over the years. If you attend this school, you are sure of graduating on record time.
2. Dennis Osadebay University, Asaba, Delta State - Website: https://www.dou.edu.ng. This school took off with UNILAG standard. With renowned scholars and distinguished professors as lecturers, an international Hollywood type of film and leisure park just opposite it and serene environment in the capital city of Asaba, this University has actually hit the ground running as the best place for learning as well as overseas connections. With the current standard of this new University, it will no time take the lead in terms of academic excellence and even social life.
3. University of Delta, Agbor- website: https://unidel.edu.ng
4. Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro - website: https://dsust.edu.ng
5. Ignatius Ajuru University Of Education - website: https://www.iauoe.edu.ng
Also all private universities have stable academic calendar. But it is preferable to attend a government owned institutions. Please, if you know of any other government owned University that has a high standard and does not go on strike post it here to help JAMBITEs and Nigerians seeking postgraduate admission in order to avoid the pitfalls of having automatic extension which they do not bargain for.

This type of impunous statement has been repeated by the ruling party since the past 20 years they seized power. With this impunous bravado and disregard for the people, they have recycled themselves, from friends to friends, father to sons and daughters, niece to cousin to nephew, nephew to uncle; while public service suffers, embargo on employment continues, industries and factories established before their emergence fold up and none of real economic value establish. While millions of Deltans graduate every year for the past eight years, no free and fair recruitment is going on in their home state. To say it is the turn of one Delta North, is to say : 1) the state is not one 2) the part that will hold power has ulterior motive of favouring its own people instead of holding state authority on behalf of all Deltans 3.) that even if a candidate from another part of the state wins, it will be rigged in favour of the one perceived to come from the part whose turn it is 4.)that merit doesn't matter provided you are from the part whose turn it is.
Again, it is sheer undemocratic arrogance to talk about eight years in office. The tenure, of a governor is 4 years. It is only in a case of exceptional performance that you talk about returning this person and party to power. What extraordinary performance can you attribute to the present regime, that should make it merit another tenure? Is coming from Delta north an indicator of good performance? People are suffocating already, you still want to suffocate them the more. You don't care. All you think about is occupy the office. Degrees and skills are wasting. Let the people's votes decide who gets power. Do not tell us there is no vacancy in Asaba. It is compulsory to change the party and the governor of a state every four years except there is unusual performance by the incumbent government. Since there is no unusual performance like increase in employment, contracts, merit in state government empowerment programme, building of new industries, electricity supply, etc, there is vacancy in Asaba now, which we the electorate have to vote to fill, come March 2nd 2019. Anybody who refuses to come out to vote or whose brother or sister is part of the government and as a result sympathetic to it, is one of the causes of the problem of the state. I see no reason why unemployed graduate, or a workman who has been idle for the past four years should carry his PVC and vote back this government or sit at home on election day. If all unemployed people should vote, this government cannot return to power.

Fake and Credible Scientific Journals
Academic Journals publishing, took a new dimension some decades ago. Rather than readers paying to read scholarly articles as was the case when there were only subscription based journals like Elsevier, a revolutionary shift which sees aggressive Open Access publishing occurred.
The open access publishing among other things makes students and researchers who cannot afford the cost of subscription have access to quality journal articles; and gives exposure and adequate publicity to research results. Educational and academic growth was therefore rapidly expanded with the cost of publishing reduced by competition.
However, there is a growing threat to this intellectual revolution. This is in two dimensions. The first is the publishing of articles without proper peer review. The Second is the call by some institutions to the academia to publish on only open access journals indexed in Scopus or Thomson Reuters or any other fake middle body between the academic community and the publisher.
The first threat exists because, academics have not proffered proper solution. Having researched extensively on the topic of academic publishing, I realised that, the solution to predatory publishing is not being indexed in Scopus and Thomson Reuters or the others which are too fake to be mentioned here. How can Scopus managed by a subscription based publisher, Elsevier, be an unbiased umpire in matters of open access publishing? Why then do they charge for listing journals? How can Thomson Reuters be a fair judge of what constitute quality in the dynamic world of publishing? What strategies would these indexing services use to check malpractice in publishing by a journal already listed? These questions are begging for answers.
The only reliable indexing services based on my research are those offered by DOAJ.Why? Because I did not find any journal they publish, they are non profit, they list journals free.
It is not surprising that many indexing bodies are springing up. The emergence of open access journals must have dealt a deadly blow to the profit margins of the subscription based journals. They must now charge open access publishing or condemn them to dwarf their growth. I read crossrefence criteria for DOI, apart from annual fee, each article stored with them will be paid for. This cost has the capacity of pushing up the cost of open access publishing. And who will bear the cost? The academia.
Without mixing words, the only things needed to make a journal reputable are: 1. ISSN 2. EDITORS. Then perhaps listing in DOAJ. Every other thing is rubbish. Any institution that makes Thomson Reuters, Scopus, EBISCO, CROSS REFERENCE criteria for considering credibility of a journal is actually discouraging research and research publication.
The only way to know if a journal is credible is to check its editorial board and verify its ISSN. A credible journal must list its editors and their affiliations. If the affilition or contact of journal editor is not listed on the homepage for any reason, betore you publish contact the journal to confirm identity of its editor or enter the name of editor (listed on the journal) on google search engine to find out who he is. The editor of journal should take the blame for predatory publishing. If an editor notices malpractice on the part of publisher, he should publicly denounce the journal before the academic community denounces him. It is by refusing to publish in a journal without verifiable editor and holding the editor responsible for unethical publshing that will can uphold the glory of quality publishing. Let there be academic and publishing freedom, OPEN ACESS!

It looks like the voices shouting down the truth that that fellow expressed are very many. They are even insulting him for daring to voice the truth, those agents of saboteurs: the economic and educational savages who join forces with those who perpetually discourage academic prowess, hard work, and promote hegemonic oligarchy, plunging the young state of Nigeria into an intractable economic jam and concomitant quagmire, which now they blame on APC government. Those who constantly apply favouritism and cronyism in recruitment are not spared when the economy is submerged by their illicit and indecent desire to stay recognised. As you shun honest and competent services, because you are only after the pay that you will get at the end of the month be prepared to use the monthly pay in servicing the following results of your greed, you and your cohorts, who are discouraging hard work and promoting violence by your actions, omissions and commissions:
Epileptic power supply and high bills
Frequent repairs of your generators by quacks
Purchase of fake cars and fake motor parts, driving through fake roads
Parking in a fake motor park and extortion by fake tax collectors called agboro
Buying fake foodstuff, eating fake food, fake roads, fake drinks, fake clothes, fake tax collectors, fake everything: or are you so stupid that you do not know that everything has become fake in the society? Are you all so dumb, that you do not know that the only original thing remaining before the emergence of APC, was violence? Even those of you who are ready to pour stinking waters of abuse over that fellow for telling you that the dpr recruitment like many others is fake will not be spared by result of getting the wrong person to do the job because you know him. Are you not buying things from the street? What you pay for as original is but fake after all. Because the producers are fake. You cannot give what you do not have. Those who fake the system today, would not have been where they are, if the system was fake before they got there.
They are talking about restructuring. Even those who ran the country aground, now realise, that Nigeria should be restructured. For 8 years and 16 years; they did not know they have to restructure. Now that we have gotten APC to heal us of the socio-economic headache they caused us, they would not allow us time to swallow it and the healing to take place, they want to sabotage because they hate MERIT. Until merit overthrows oligarchic violence, fake, it appears to me, will reign in our streets and offices! Continue to abuse those who dare to say the truth. It won’t exenorate you.

House is there anyone who wrote the interview on Saturday? We did not write in Benin. Has anybody idea of the new date?

This is the list of shortlisted candidates released by the Delta State Civil Service Commission. There are questions begging for answers regarding this list. What is the criteria used in selecting this people? There are people who studied this same course with me whose names are on the list but mine is not there. Is this list meant to be an alibi against accusations of not having passed through the due process in recruiting these persons or a list based on merit? I think that this list is one of the unpalatable affronts on the psychology of the average Delta State graduates. We should not allow this to continue for another four years. A new party should be tested this time around. I know that some persons understand what this list mean and are angry as am now. Thank God we can express this anger by using our votes to select a party that may care come April.

It is appalling that the software the Delta State minister of education released to make registration of JSS III students who are to sit for this year Junior WAEC easy compounded the registration of the students and it brought unnecessary expenses to the schools. The software made available in Warri came with two major issues: 1. the schools are given serial numbers as code. So if you want to access another school account, you can easily do that. 2. When you have registered about twenty candidates, the names start duplicating. So, if you have registered Regina, you will see Three to four Regina with her passorts overprinting on other candidates' account. When I called them to complain, they said, it was a virus in my system. So I started afresh with another system, the same story. I fixed anti-virus on my system, the same problem. I called my colleagues who were doing it, the same story. Worst off all, the Continuous assessment scores do not display in the Deltastateoutput. All the computers we used in Warri had virus. Therefore only the systems controlled by those who supplied the software at Asaba were used for the schools. But we used the systems with Virus for WAEC offline Biometrics Capture successfully.
The painful thing is that, rather than accept their shortcomings and borrow a leaf from WAEC, the Delta State Ministry of Education (department in charge of the JSS 3 registration) has shifted the blame to those who carried out the registration and may continue with the mediocre software in the next year registration. May God help us Nigerian!.

Good evening house. All seems to be silent after July 17 when the federal civil service commission recruitment expired. Does anyone in the house know about the interview/aptitude test date for the 2014 csvc recruitment? Kindly update me. Thanks.
