It seems you didn't read the article, he said the VC is living in opulence and you are here blaming GEJ for your miscarriage. I pity u.
What happens to internal generated revenue from part time studies, masters program and others?

ninakurtz:
Op is hating on UNN. The picture is not as bad as u've painted it!

hahaha. Op is right

I jst wonder why "shocker" was on this post, its a norm in hostels in every non private university. Dis is d second time UNN is coming up here in a short period of time 4 smtin not nice. Who did dis new VC offend? . On d brighter side, its good Unn is been called out often 2 deal wit dia issues. Oda unis can stay in silence feigning perfection. Let's call out our schools 4 dia bull shit 2 be noticed and dealt with Dan fighting blindly 4 reps dat no tertiary institution in dis country deserve.

Widespread anomie prevalent in Nigeria,
occasioned by a virtual dilapidation of the societal
ethical and moral framework, has literally
squelched any social appetite for comparative
sociological analysis of any segment of the
Nigerian society and a corresponding segment of
any foreign country even if that country is
Somalia .

Any such study invariably ends as an exercise in
rendition of woes, lamentations and pity. Our
country once mighty have fallen and is falling.
The decay is systemic and deep-seated and
widespread .

Our political system is heavily infected by
corruption and the educational system is
strangulated by poor funding. But our education
suffers from much more. Teachers groan and
moan, deride politicians and claim moral
indignation but they are equally culpable for the
rot that has beset us.

The university of Ghana and the University of
Nigeria have so much in common besides being
named after their respective countries. They were
both conceived during the colonial era and they
have main campuses located on hills, Legon and
Nsukka . Both have very large student population
of between 35000 and 38000. They have regional
reputations and have produced high quality
graduates who have played great roles in their
societies.

A brief stay in each university last year afforded
me an opportunity to reflect on the two societies
through those institutions . In Legon, it was an
experience of efficiency, culture and aesthetics. All
buildings were painted and all were white and all
had red roofs and all windows black.
Flowers and hedges were manicured and trees
added beauty to the environment. Order was
evident and everything showed agelessness
because the new and the old abided by a laid
down code. The library was quaint but noiseless,
lacked modern books but had good ambience.
The hostels showed they have not lacked care
and the newer ones were quite modern. But
whether old or new , modern or ancient the colour
codes were maintained and all the roofs were red.

The Guest house was sparsely furnished but
functional and had good landscaping . Order and
serenity were evident. The internet wifi system
was good. Nsukka was a different experience. A
multitude of Uncompleted projects littered
everywhere, grasses had Turned to bushes and hedges were untrammeled, free and wild. Many buildings were pale, washed and battered. Hostels were in shambles .

The Enugu campus that houses faculties of Law and Medicine has no pipe borne water. The state of the toilet facilities in Enugu campus can only be imagined.

A chat with some female students of
that campus revealed that students have buckets
for defecating.

They defecate in the open, along the toilet
corridor, many at a time, facing themselves, into
buckets and hurl the contents afterward into the
toilet Bowls, leaving trails of feces for the
cleaners who come when they wish to effect as
much cleaning as they can. The buckets are
subsequently rinsed with scarce water ,which they have to buy , and kept in the rooms until when again needed. Those who cannot stand the
bucket idea defecate into polythene bags and fling them onto a heap behind the hostels.


That heap has survived generations . Its pathetic.
An Alumni exists but the atrocity has persisted.
The Vice chancellors residence is state of the art,
new. The vice chancellor has managed to
ensconce himself in five star comfort while
students are dehumanized . Dont ask me who is
being groomed there. Perhaps pit toilets , since
they cannot have water, may actually restore
some dignity.

Its that bad. Students learning early how to be
wild. The school’s internet network system
functions so abysmally slowly that I could not
use it . Lecturers and students can hardly do
meaningful online researches in that remote
location. A senior lecturer told me she sends
articles to foreign journals using her blackberry
phone. That is the story of Nigeria .

And ironically the school’s motto reads: To
restore the dignity of man. Ghanas 2015 budget
is 50 percent donor funded, Nigeria is rich and
lives on her own money. Legon is to a great
extent insulated from political and local
administrative changes because Legon has a
tradition.

A tradition that all must follow. That entrenched
tradition is the institution. So while projects in
Legon are completed before others are started,
and buildings are repainted yearly, Nsukka is a
picture of haphazardness and planlessness.
No matter wat, always b proud of were u came 4rm, am proud of Nigeria and am proud i studied in Nigeria, d prblm here is dat if d SUG of UNN Nsukka are alive to their responsibilities i believe dat those things mentioned in ur write up wil b repaired, d VC has to answer questions abt d allocations govt do give to schs, d prblm here is just corruption, wen d head is corrupt then who are u to blame?

culture , nurture and instill order and virtue in

Often Nigerian academics sneer at the politicians

academics.

And Its not just about funding. And
Nsukka is not alone ,other public universities are
perhaps worse. Nsukka is a reflection of our

we shamelessly now troop there in droves in

op u are high on Ghanaian shit!!!, u are just showing how ignorant and clueless you are.
Currently unn toilets are among the best in the federation under the administration of the new vc(Ozumba)
so go get a life... smh

u are very right bro, nice to me an abusite... what dept?

flamingtiger:
Let me come in here. ... Am currently in my final year at the Enugu Campus. I can authoritatively confirm that this post IS NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH. The state of infrastructure in Enugu Campus is nothing to write home about. Hostel facilities especially for the Males is more like a pigsty, I had to move off campus after my second year, can you imagine that more SEVEN students are cramped in a room,( this is official, add that to the number of squatters and you get the real picture) with Five small mattresses!! . For the toilet facilities, my Dear don't even go there! There is open defecating at the back of the male hostels(kenneth Dike and Mbonu Ojike) commercial toilets in the school make brisk business( they charge between 40 to 50 naira)
Internet connectivity has improved a bit since Prof Ozumba came into power. Students buy water from water vendors( who are not always steady) as there is no pipe borne water( though the new VC is making plans towards reconnecting the Campus to Enugu water works). Its pitiable. But the joker here is that the quality of learning in the school is up to standard, with the no nonsense lecturers( at least for my own faculty which am very sure of_)
Ps. I am speaking about Enugu campus(UNEC) which am currently a student in.. Heard Nsukka Campus is better of though.

We are missing d point, the school is a reflection of the society. Water is a big problem in Enugu as a state, if you go to other universities in states where water is not a problem, you will see the difference. When I was at Uniport, we only had water issues when there was no light to power the pumping machines in school hostels.

Ghana for life hahaaaaaaaaa

temitemi1:
Shut ur mouth n stop blaming GEJ for every unfortunate thing that happens in ur life

is it ur father that is supposed to fix our uni, tell is now so we know who to blame

Mumugeria is more about quantity and not quality. Now this is what i call a university and not those pit latrines you have.

Hahahaaaaaaa University of Ghana for life. We dont shittttt in the open in here oooooo. Hahaaaaaaaaa

Mumugerians defecating in the open since Luggard. Hahaaaaa

allisonluvsu:
student defecated in d bucket dey will blame GEJ. Iron burn shirt, dey will blame GEJ. If Sahara reporter website goes offline dey will blame GEJ. Just wen will all dis stop. Haba, I fear o.

the reasoning of a lot of the so called gej supporters never ceases to amaze me. In a country where 4 bill naira is budgeted for feeding alone and the pres has 10 official jets and is planning to add more BASIC AMENITIES CANNOT BE PROVIDED IN OUR INSTITUTIONS AND SOME PERSONS ARE ASKING WHY WE BLAME THE MAN AT THE ELM OF AFFAIRS. some persons reason irrationally.

that looks like a shrine..

op i can tell u that u have never been to UNN, u just copied and paste

That is why they don't reason like graduates. They study 21st century books and theories,while in practice they live and reason like they in in the preneolithic age. It is irreconcilable.

If you wan enjoy shit,try it in the open......sooooo cooool

berem:
This is not a new thing na! Shitting in a custard bucket no be today thing. It is done in almost all public universities.

Eww!
That's unhygienic and totally gross

Yomieluv:
The op should come to Lasu,L&H building,there was no functioning toilet during my stay in Lasu,thw whole place is always messed up,you will end up vomiting than passing out poo,whenever you want to use the toilet..

The bushes at the PPL gate always come to rescue whenever students want to poo,you will see student inside bush like bush babies using it as toilet..

Nigeria educational system is messed up.

Now I appreciate my school more because I never experienced this.
