Drama as student, lecturer exchange words in class room

There was a mild drama in HND1 department of Mass communication following a disagreement between a lecturer and a student.

PCM gathered that the disagreement erupted when a Senior Lecturer at the department, Wasiu Tejuosho claimed that one of his past students often pay him N250,000, a week before Ileya festival, as a means of appreciation.

It was observed that a student screamed at the top of his voice, shouting ‘na lie’.

Following the student’s claim, the class turned a market where noise got to the verge of calling the attention of the lecturer, thereby disrupting the class activities.

However, the lecturer, on an attempt to get the accused student, called on the school securities arresting over 15 students of the class for interrogation before nemesis caught up with the suspects.

The accused student, as at the time of filing this report was dragged to the school security unit for punishment

NO PROTEST TODAY AS STUDENT TO RESTATEGIES PLAN

We need to re-strategies and come out with another plan i.e next move and where to meet. For the blackweek.

You agree with me that some of us (Mapaites Students) still at the police custody, which NANS chairman #Movement assure us of their bail, so we can't go on street for the protest when some of us in police custody.

After proper strategy and consultation, we shall back on black week but let's leave tomorrow for good plan.

God bless Nigeria Students.
God bless Mapaites.

The #SaveMapoly Campaign, the Average Nigerian Student Dilemma and Need for Proactive Policies

Olanrewaju Oyedeji 

When I woke up and saw students thronging to the social media with their hashtags, right in my head I knew they have been frustrated and saw the Need to act. 
Nonetheless , it Is worrisome that even with the embarrassing state of Nigerian Education and what students are made to pass through, constant disagreements on policies continue to ravage our campuses. 
I have heard arguments that politicians act the way they do because they don't have their kids in Nigerian public Varsities, while I agree to some extent, I believe it still boils down to lack of basic urge for responsibility. It is funny that it is when students file out or launch a Social Media campaign that conflicts receive very fast pace of resolution. In a situation where the world is clamoring for better Educated individuals, it is funny that our own country keep diminishing in quality but improves in quantity. 
One can begin to ask questions of if the Ogun State Government made a unilateral decision in deciding to turn Mapoly to a University, in a normal setting, the staff Union should be carried along when the decisions were made. 
It seems in Nigeria we care less about the time factor, administrators sometimes I think feel students should be ready to wait even longer. 

A responsible government should not wait till students protest or take policies that would harm them. 
While it is encouraging that students now explore the Social and Digital Media, the fundamental question one needs to ask is why disagreements need to take place from time to time in Nigerian Education sector, there has been arguments that Education is too cheap in Nigeria but Education especially for a developing country like ours should be made accessible for as low as possible. 
The #SaveMapoly Campaign shows the continued dearth we have in the Education sector, the need to revamp the sector and the need to allow more funding which would be monitored from time to time. 
Sometimes it's not just about establishing a University, it's about not delaying even the future of the thousands of students policies affect, only those that take Education seriously, build a future. 
All stakeholders should join the voice to #SaveMapoly and bring everyone to listen to the plight of this beautifully made students even as they cry in pain.

SAVEMAPOLY - DAY2 - WHY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD CALL ON THE OGUN STATE GOVERNMENT

We are writing to the Federal government of Nigeria to help us ask the state government why it has been difficult for Ogun state government to meet with the demand of Asup Mapoly when the future of over 25,000 students are at stake.

Asup Mapoly demands

1. 1. Admission of N.D into Mapoly or Ogun state Poly (ipokia) 
2. 2. Payment of Outstanding 2month salaries 
3. 3. Written Agreement that Ogun state government will continue to pay them for the next 4yrs that Mapoly will exist for before going into extinction.

Greatest Nigerian Student! we could recall that the state government instruct the school management not to admit for 2017/18 academic session where as the state Government have not be the one sponsoring the payment of staff salaries instead this is done by the school management her self.
For Ogun State govt to put the school source of income on hold that means their should be a proper funding and paying of salaries from the govt,which reverse  is the case now.

I also want us to have it in mind that these lecturers are parent that depend on their salary for survival, why are you not paying them Ogun state govt?
Why is it HARD or difficult for Ogun state government to give Asup Mapoly a written document that they will continue to pay their salaries for the next 4years.

Join us live on FACEBOOK by 3pm as we will be talking to our past union leaders and Nans Ogun jcc chairman to discuss why they have been silent over this issue.
