MrHighSea:can't you request for a change of supervisor from your hod if you're not comfortable working with him.I remember when I was doing my masters in one of this federal universities notorious for delaying students. We were the ones going to the hods office everyday to beg them to give us supervisor. That hod use us catch trips well. I can never forget him.I just got pissed and dumped their maaters for them I remember those days the hod will be telling us " please get out.you cannot be coming to my office every time and be harassing me in my own office He was so pompous you will almost think we almost came to his office to beg him for money He will use us to go meeting. We will be standing in front of his office .he will use us to eat and be chatting on his phone. Omo I just called their bluff 3 Likes 1 Share |

Dear fellow and prospective pg students, I am presently an M.Sc Students at UNILAG. My experienced till date in UNILAG is disheartning and discouraging. In UNILAG, like the Initiator of this topic said, u are taught those topic that u had been taught in ur undergraduate days, which understandably is because of those students that r from other fields but crossed over to ur field but notwithstanding, u r only taught 20% of what u need to know as a pg student. That aside, at UNILAG, therefore is this endemic disease of favouritism among virtually most of their lecturers. U can imagine, during My 1st semester there, a lecturer came a round to introduced their best graduated student during a particular year who the school authority has inadvertly retained based on their doctrine, who we r both undergoing d same pg programme, and d lecturer said that d guy is indomitable and non of us can surpass him based on academic performance. To My chagrin, this guy had A's in all the courses except two lecturer who face him B's. This is d guy that didn't start d programme early with us. This is d guy that didn't partake in someone assignments because of this lateness. And more worrisome, this guy had highest in most CA's and exams. No test to measure our CA performances but only assignments. This same event has been persisting in d 2nd semester. This lecturers only give good marks to there students(Akokites) and cronies and those of us from other institutions, r left with nothing to write HOME about. Our faith to secure the minimum academic grade to be qualified for PHD has been dashed and unrealisable. As a result of this, I asked a friend of mine in the same institution and someone other people and they said is nothing new to them. That is a Customer and tradition thing at UNILAG. I am now sailing in a regretable boat that had I seeked people's advice before obtaining d from, I wouldn't have fallen a victim. On this note, My advice for prospective pg students is for them to go to their root I.e. the school they did their undergraduate programmes for their pg programmes because most Universities in Nigeria r not immuned from diseases of favouritism, stereotyping, factionalism and man-know-man. It's a common saying that d devil u know for a time immemorial is letter than d Angel u just know today. My submission. Thank u. 14 Likes 1 Share |

SmellingAnus:they weren't saints.they did their own runs underground and very codedly.when I was an undergraduate they dated the matured ones among us but not from the same department. For example a lecturer in the department OF nursing will go very far to date a lady in economics.they don't do it with the students under them so that they won't BE easily caught And they were in an unholy relationship some of the girls were doing it just for fun some for money and some were dating lecturers in another department because the man happened to be a friend of her manfriend lecturer so that he will give her preferential treatment as per grades e.g iyawo ore wa things |

dangotesmummy:hahahha honestly your lecturers are saints... Mine don't care .... Infact someone complained to me about how a girl was bleeped in a lecturers office justs because she needed academic favour .... I have heard from girls of how they were harrased by departmental lecturer... I remember my ex girlfriend, she went to meet her hod cos she failed his course but the man decided that he must Sleep with her in his office and he was even making moves but she rejected his offer and of course she carried over the course... There are many more of these stories that are even worse that I know of.. 2 Likes |

I have always said it, anyone who wants serious academic exposure and learning should go study abroad, you can hardly be taught anything current or would you acquire much knowledge. Its partly why i laugh when some people here claim they have Masters degree, i don't see them really different from first degree holders 4 Likes |

Re: Share Your Experiences As A Postgraduate Student In A Federal University! by dangotesmummy: 12:31pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
MrHighSea:ha obviously they're friends. These professors usually know themselves. They might be lecturers in different fields but they always know themselves by virtue of the fact that they attend meetings and conferences together Actually the truth is that if not for scarcity or unavailability of jobs many youths won't go for masters or PhD. These old professors know that and that's why they do a lot of shakara In the first place if after bsc you were able to get a job or before the completion of your bsc job was waiting for you nobody will give 2 foks about masters or going for masters or PhD I remember my mom and I.we were jisting one day and she told me people hardly do masters during her time.infact masters or PhD we're for those who liked books.the eficos who were passionate about lecturing. The postgraduate classrooms and halls were always scanty.just with few people .but now postgraduate school in many universities is as congested as undergraduate classrooms Mummy further said during her time jobs were certain and very sure.before you finish jobs were waiting for you.you don't have to know anybody lobby or anything. It was just automatic.just with bsc not even with other professional certificates When she said it I was weeping in my heart for Nigerian youths of this generation. I then understood what chinua achebe said when he said "there was a country " In Nigeria today even with masters job is still hard to come by for a lot of youths and people quill see Yahoo guys runs girls etc and be judging them without knowing their story Nigeria has killed a lot of budding potentials 6 Likes 1 Share |

Absolutely an interesting discuss, our Dr and prof are obsolete. Hence, MSc depends on 80% of self effort. I am from delsu. The delay is partly the students fault and partly the school. In delsu, lecturers are mild from my experience but there are some stupid ones who believed they are demi gods and will always fail you. God is already dealing with them anyway. Also, the new vc is trying to organize the program and the improvements are laudable. The acceptance fee is 45k and school fees is 111k. Returning students pay 95k. Give delsu a try but ur personal effort counts. |

SmellingAnus:LMao. They're not saints o. Some of these girls too get their own for body.some girls actually like the idea of dating lecturers.it makes them feel yes my manfriend is a lecturer. Some actually lust over their lecturer and some girls like office sex in the evening in the lecturers office. The lecturer will just close all the doors Windows and curtain and then on the a.c and do quickie in the office meanwhile his wife and children's picture are on the table where they're fokeen the girl There was one of the lecturers back then that used to disgust me.anytime I see him I always felt irritated because when he finish fokeen a girl in his office you will see semen stains on his trousers very close to his zip.no woman he cannot toast.if he see mad woman He will toast her 2 Likes |

ALVA001: I am not à sir. you are most probably older than me. I am not an Erasmus Mundus scholar because I never applied for neither did I get the scholarship. From what I see QEM is a good choice but your transcript will tell if it's the right choice or not My course, though an Erasmus Mundus program is not covered by the scholarship (I would have suggested it to you since you're looking for Agric Econs related courses). We only get a monthly grant of about €150 for the first year. And that is after you have paid the tuition fees. But I did get about a 80% tuition fee reduction scholarship from an external body in France. Not all Erasmus Mundus Masters program are covered by the scholarship. Here is a list of those covered by the scholarship. Masters and PhD http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/results_compendia/selected_projects_action_1_master_courses_en.php http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/results_compendia/selected_projects_action_1_joint_doctorates_en.php You select a program and follow the given link. It will give you all the information you need. Be sure to put your CV in Europass format ( http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/documents/curriculum-vitae/templates-instructions ) and source information on how the scholars are selected so you know how to package your application. You can send me a pm if you want further information. cc: IstandWitBuhari 7 Likes 1 Share |

UNN PG studies is better but it all depends on the student,I started my M. Eng (Civil Engineering) studies by January 2016 though proper lectures started by the last week of February 2016. By December 2016 I completed my course work(11 courses). According to my Supervisor,he said if I'm serious and fast that I will be done with my Thesis latest March 2017. If that happens that means I did my Masters under 12 - 14 months. The lectures in my department are good , though I can't say for other departments. 3 Likes |

greenermodels: U need to understand what I mean. U also said it consexual sex happen, and I agree with that bt I don't agree that it is widespread esp BUK. What I mean in my post is that students are nt victimised into having sex with lecturers, the way it happeb in mostly southern universities, inwhich d lecturers do that boldly without fear. I have never heard of the word sorting or blocking b4 until NYSC took me to d South. What most lecturers are doing in southern universities, dey can't do that in northern universities except if they want to be disgrace out of institution. 2 Likes |
