Thanks. Now please educate me because I want to be better informed.

Not really. Communication is key. Do that at an interview and write at the end "i'm sure you got the message". You'll get the job i promise you.

Sijo01:
Glorified secondary school.

Ellidude:
At a time when the world is gradually advancing technologically? So if I am given a research work, I will only stick to the knowledge provided by the school library? Or always go to the cafe for it?

This is like the doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

MadCow1:


Lol..

You will be surprised..

In a new notice released on the 28th of August 2016 via the website of Afe Babalola University, fresh and returning undergraduate students for the 2016/2017 Academic session were briefed on new rules, including the ban on smartphones. In their words,

"Mobile Phone ; The University would allow students to use telephone but limited to non-smartphones. Any TELEPHONE aside the University’s specification, inclusive of TABLETS or IPADS shall be CONFISCATED and the Student shall be SANCTIONED"

Twitter Users (some students) however
expressed displeasure.

MadCow1:


I'm sure you got the message.

I don't really blame these private schools for some of their rules. Even though know that as adults these rules aren't right, they are left with no choice we abuse most of these things in this country and without forcefully taking some of these privileges away from students their school ratings won't increase. Not that they aren't abused outside the country too, but over there, they have managed to increase their ratings without stopping these things.
It can't be just coincidence that the schools that have these rules are rated as the best Private universities e.g. Covenant. While igbinedion that has been there before all of them is still struggling to cope in ratings.

This is not to undermine any school, but to state facts.
For those that will site public universities, know that the rate of cultism and various vices are very high there.
And I actually graduated from a public university so I know what I'm saying.

Anything is possible.

How does a ban on smartphones affect the student's attitude towards their studies?

A serious student with or without a smartphone would excel.

ABU EKITI just overtook UNIBEN as the worst University in West Africa..

Stop being petty man. How does banning of smart phone make the uni a glorified secondary school.

collinzy:
In a vast growing world as this you should be ashamed to allow such come out your mouth. People like you are the reason why the system still thinks teaching pascal and fotran programmes in our universities is okay. How more deluded can you be?

what is this one saying

Their VC was bragging that Coke is also banned and nobody is allowed to drink it within the school compound. He was citing some saturated jargons as the reason for the ban.

pippimp:


There are numerous reasons why you should not restrict communication. Especially in college;

1. Security reasons

2. Educational/informative reasons.

3. Access. (You can actually use you cell phone as a hotspot).

Etc.

MadCow1:



A company that denies you employment for making such a mistake isn't one I will be interested in working for except the Job I was applying for was one where 'IMPECCABLE Grammar' is a necessary condition for getting the job..

Sijo01:


Madam, why's my comment making you uneasy?

Why will a university control the type of phones adult students are to use.
