UNILAG student bag a CGPA of 5.0

Daniel Dada Ayodele will be the star to watch out for during the 2014/2015 convocation of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) next week.





He made a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 5.00, which the Vice Chancellor, Prof Rahamon Bello, described as a perfect score record at a pre-convocation briefing
yesterday. Bello said the Psychology student is one of the 178 First Class students who will graduate during the three-day convocation.


“This year, a record has been set. A graduating student in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Ayodele Daniel Dada, is graduating with a CGPA of 5.0. “A perfect score; this means he scored As in all courses he took in the programme. I congratulate Mr Dada and the staff of the Department of Psychology for the feat,” he said.


A total of 10,907 students, comprising 5,472 undergraduates and 5,435 postgraduates, will graduate
during the three-day convocation. With this, the university is almost achieving parity in the ratio of undergraduates to graduate students. Its aim is to train more postgraduate students. Of the first degree recipients, 1,617 will bag Second Class Upper degrees; 2,496, Second Class Lower; 884, Third Class,
and 50, Pass.


Another 274 from the Medical Sciences and Pharmacy will graduate with unclassified degrees.
Of the 5,435 postgraduate students, 391 are getting Post Graduate Diplomas (PGD), 5,973 Masters and 71 PhDs. The convocation will start on Monday with a lecture titled: “Positioning Nigeria as the Technology Hub of Africa” to be delivered by Minister of Science and Technology Dr.
Ogbonaya Onu. It will end on Thursday with the installation of the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibu Umar Garbai El-Kanemi, as the Seventh Chancellor.


Prof. Bello said the Faculty of Engineering topped the lot with 41 First Class degrees.
Bello said the management had recorded huge success in its stride to uplift its standard. “Today, our environment is one of the cleanest of all the institutions in Nigeria, as we have begun waste sorting and
this is yielding results. “All our classrooms and laboratories are now comparable with any first rated university worldwide. “Research equipment and facilities are now being modernised and research activities are taking new dimensions.


“Our internalisation efforts are also yielding fruits, despite the social challenges in Nigeria,’’ he said. The VC added that the university is hosting 33 Postgraduate students from various West African countries, under the ECOWAS Academic Mobility Scheme. He said students exchange programme with some Canadian
and Chinese universities was in the offing.

One day, I'll write about this place

Unilag Cresol; a derivative of a congenial isomer. One day, I'll write about this place - Kunle Adegunoye. Even after leaving you , I dare not compare you to any other. From the front gate through the Senate building to the back gate, your serenity describes a genuine tranquility. I was a bit baffled when Akokites regard you as the school of first choice and nation's pride. I thought it was normal for them to bask in the ephemeral euphoria of having their education in Nigeria's first University established by the Act of Parliament. Time and again, you have made bold the claim of superiority to others. In my four years here from 2011 to 2015, you twice led the table of Nigerian universities according to NUC. Not only were you "first choice", you taught others how to be first in everything. Our first pride in you was the unilag radio, 103.1 established in 2004. When others saw and started making efforts to achieve the set feat, you moved a step ahead to havi...

ADEBOYE AND OYEDEPO: MEN OF GOD OR MEN OF GOB? by Sylvanus Omoniyi

I want to say something. It is important. But before then, I want to thank all my enemies all over the world who have been supporting me. May God support you with evil things. Also, I want to appreciate all the witches and wizards in the world who dearly love me. Thank you very much. If witches and wizards could like me, who are you not to like me? I have given up on humanity because everyone is stupid. I have decided to be true to my heart because people are not reasonable again, especially in Nigeria. I am yet to find a single reasonable being in Africa. Everyone in Africa is an asshole. We are dumb asses. See, it is not that I derive any pleasure from insulting people. Not at all. The only thing is that I get pissed off when people are being unreasonable.  I have been performing a lot of experiments. On social media. And in reality. You cannot even understand the way I think. Everyday, I strive to be less afraid and to have more freedom. I try to look at things and people and...

Taiwo Adewole, a man from the past future

Image
After returning from an invigorating dance arena at the Education love garden, a curious Kunle asked Taiwo, his ne'er calm friend why he was in the habit of liking his own Facebook posts. Taiwo laughed uproariously and the walruses in the jungle shivers with delight. He pondered the question, laughed again, snorted snuff into his three nostrils, emptied a human skull of last week palmwine and orijin into his snout and said,  "my boy, do you know why, when the lizard survives a fall, it nods its head in self-congratulation? Kunle kept quiet. SMH! Taiwo continued after downing two bowls of nkwobi, three plate of indomie and a human skull of Lager beer and quickly checking his class whatsapp  page to see if anyone wants to pay for docket or class due, "because if the lizard doesn't, no one else will". "If I don't like my post, no one else will", he concluded. Then he took a selfie with Kunle's phone(he had been told about the kamikaze effect ...
