    UI Might No Longer Be Your Budget-Friendly University

    On April 11, news broke that the University of Ibadan, (UI) reviewed the fees payable by fresh students by 450-750%.

    Prior to this increment, newly admitted students paid fees ranging from ₦20,000 to ₦30,000. However, the latest increment for fresh students ranges from a sharp ₦203,000 to ₦412,000.

    While the new fees have just been implemented, documents seen by Zikoko suggest it had been proposed by the school management since August 2023.

    The university PRO, Adejoke Akinpelu, confirmed that the new rates will be uploaded to the university portal to give students a sense of what they’ll pay going forward.

    “The fees are personalised for the students based on their courses of study and will be uploaded on their platforms from tomorrow or later. Kindly wait until the fees are uploaded and you have the facts.”

    At the time of filing this report, the new fees have been displayed on the portal of fresh students across faculties within the institution.

    Some new students will pay a ₦238,500 bundle fee, a technology levy and a utility levy of ₦20,000 respectively shooting the total to ₦278,000.

    However, in some faculties, the total amount freshers have to pay ranges from ₦372,000 to ₦412,000.

    According to the dean of Students Affairs, Professor Keye Abiona, who spoke with campus journalists, the new fees also apply to the institution’s returning students.

    Student Union kicks against fee hike

    Following the development, the UI Students’ Union body has kicked against the hike and demanded a reversal to previous fees.

    A statement issued by the president, Samuel Tobiloba, on Sunday, April 14, read in part:

    “Our union’s position on increment in fees, especially at this hard time, remains the same (NO TO FEE INCREMENT).”

    The union equally wrote to the university management requesting the suspension of payments and registration of fresh students until a resolution is met.

    Nigerians, potential students react to increment

    Meanwhile, Nigerians and some potential students have taken to social media to lament the fee hike.

    Sheriff Bashorun, a 17-year-old JAMB candidate hoping to apply to the university told Zikoko “My mum has been worried since we heard the news. She insisted I chose UI when I was registering for JAMB. Now we don’t even know what next. We’re hoping they reverse the increment”.

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    Some Nigerian universities will boldly include architecture in their list of available courses but the question is, are they practising what they’ve promised to teach?

    I decided to start from the basics and check the main gate structure of 13 Nigerian public universities. Here’s what I found.

    Federal University of Technology, Minna

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    Is it a TETFUND abandoned project?r Is it a buy one, get one free low budget estate? I’m not sure what I’m looking at.

    Obafemi Awolowo University 

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    Not sure what they set out to achieve with this high rise structure, but I know I’ll be far from excited if I show up at my prospective university and find the gate looking like this.

    University of Ilorin

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    I’m not going to be fooled by the “Better by Far” signage, this main gate is only slightly better than OAU’s. 

    University of Nigeria, Nsukka

    I think management wanted a little hint of dystopian architecture, but I’m not quite sure they hit the mark.

    Enugu State University

    They’re on this spot because I’ve decided to let the saturation in this photo fool me. 

    Federal University of Owerri

    The uneven trees, the sparse garden, the weird spacing of the name…It’s just not giving. 

    University of Calabar

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    This is what I envision anytime I hear or read about the “Wall of Jericho”. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. 

    University of Jos

    There’s a chance I’m being fooled by the little garden they have going on, but something about this main gate doesn’t scream “You gon see shege”.

    University of Benin

    There’s something about this gate that is too similar to the semi-permanent eyebrows you find on Yoruba Nollywood actresses. They also get a C-minus for that sparsely cultivated garden.

    Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB)

    Is it me or this gate is giving a mix of the Bermuda Triangle and the Eye of Providence? Anyway, they get a decent C+ for their little garden.

    University of Lagos

    We Ranked The Main Gate of 13 Nigerian Universities

    Is that a GeePee tank in the frame? God, abeg. Anyway, UNILAG makes it this far up the list because of that digital clock. I think it’s a super cool touch.

    Kwara State University

    At first glance, it looks like a lot is going on. But you know what? I’ll take it over all the other ones we’ve seen.

    University of Ibadan

    If you can ignore the military outpost vibe, they get a solid B+ for this architecture. It’s grand, very “In your face” and has a lot of greenery.

    As a fresh undergrad, your matriculation gown should spark nothing but pure joy to keep you in a constant loop of delulu so you’ll forget the years of premium shege ahead. If it cannot do something as basic as that, there’s a problem.

    Today, I shifted focus from universities to see what’s happening in the academic fashion department of polytechnics. Let’s see what I found.

    If they had to be low-effort and go for blue, can they at least combine it with a different colour? Navy blue and sky blue? Haba.

    Rufus Giwa Polytechnic

    Another uninspiring spread of blue. Also, why do the caps look like they were pulled out from the bottom of a Ghana-must-go in an abandoned staff room?

    They’re only on this spot because I found Ede’s picture before theirs. I mean, if you take out the red and replace it with wine, what’s the difference between their gowns?

    When your gown rhymes with the plastic chair at your matriculation ceremony, you know the school doesn’t give a flying fuck about looks. They get a pass for dry cleaning sha.

    If you look at this picture with squinted eyes, you will see tubers of yam. I’m not even joking.

    Let’s just say they made it to this spot for branching out from any shade of blue. The gown still screams “mid” sha.

    I don’t know if it’s because the gowns are dry cleaned or it’s the cool red and black combo, but they rightfully deserve this spot.

    As a fresh corps member in Nigeria, you’ll spend three weeks at the NYSC orientation camp of the state you’ve been posted to. And these three weeks can be hell or heaven, depending on the state.

    Since very little will prepare you for exactly what you’ll witness in camp, we decided to do the Lord’s work and give you a glimpse of ten orientation camps to start.

    This looks well put together that I’m tempted not to judge. But we have a “Don’t rate blue” agenda, so…

    Sky blue and sepia brown is a wild combo. I award them a C- and may God have mercy on everyone involved with this decision.

    There’s a lot of yellow that makes the presence of blue forgivable.

    Babcock either has the tallest student population in Nigeria or they need an obioma tailor to add an extra yard to these gowns. The gowns were jumpy in every picture I saw.

    2. Landmark University

    They made it this far down the list for daring to be different. 

    1. Covenant University

    If you can ignore the agriculture green, you’ll agree that the intention to make this the baddest gown that ever liveth is there. The velvet hood and cap, patterned detail and red bow? They lived up to their reputation as one of the best private universities in Nigeria.

  • We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences From “This Is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences From “This Is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    I’ll always preach the gospel that NYSC should begin and end with the three-week orientation camp. Why do I have to dedicate a year of my life to serving my fatherland? It’s giving forced labour, please.

    Anyway, I decided to rank 16 experiences that are very familiar to anyone who has ever, or will potentially answer, annoying names like Otondo, Corper Wee Wee Wee and Corper Wa Wa Wa. TF? 

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    Let’s get into it.

    1. Receiving your call up letter

    This is where you know if you serve a living God or if your village people have plans for you. If you get the state you want, good for you. If you don’t, you’ll start asking yourself questions like, ”Is this even necessary?”

    Verdict: This is fun.

    2. Packing for camp

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    You think you know what confusion is? Wait until you hear distorted information about the number of photocopies to make, white shorts and shirts to pack, and everything else that should follow you to camp. I made a total of 100 photocopies.

    Verdict: Get me out of here. 

    3. Arriving at orientation camp

    It might not look like it because you’ll probably be stressed AF, but it’s one of the sweetest NYSC experiences because it’s real as shit. It’s the real “Mama, I made it” moment followed by this next one.

    Verdict: This is fun.

    4. Getting your NYSC gear

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    If you’re still in doubt, receiving your NYSC kit will help you realise that true true, na you be the latest corper wee in town. 

    Verdict: This is fun.

    5. When nothing fits you

    This is where chaos starts. You’ll have to ask strangers if they’re willing to exchange with you. Whether you find someone or not, it’s lowkey one of the most annoying things to experience on the first day in camp.

    Verdict: Get me out of here.

    6. The struggle for bedspace

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    As someone who got the bed space closest to the room’s entrance and toilet, let me tell you that this seemingly simple activity of choosing where to sleep can define what your camp life will look like. NYSC should better make bed space and room selection part of the registration process.

    Verdict: Get me out of here.

    7. Bonding with your roomates

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    If you take a cherished moment/experience away from NYSC, it probably started from your assigned room. This is where you’ll likely make friends with random people you don’t know from Adam. 

    Verdict: This is fun.

    8. The early morning drills

    This one will make you swear from the bottom of your heart for the person who came up with the idea that birthed NYSC. 

    Verdict: Get me out of here.

    9. Getting your first pay

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    The money might only buy a plate of food at mami but yes to chopping government money!

    Verdict: This is fun.

    10. Discovering mami market

    If you’re like me who didn’t want anything to do with camp food, the mami market will be your small mecca during your time in camp.

    Verdict: This is fun.

    11. Your first allawee

    Of course, you’re happy AF to receive your first monthly allawee even if it’ll only last a few days. 

    Verdict: This is fun.

    12. PPA posting

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    Two things can happen here: Your connect comes true and you’re posted to your desired PPA or NYSC flings you to an abandoned organisation in the middle of nowhere. Either way, the anxiety of finding out both is not recommended.

    Verdict: Get me out of here.

    13. Weekly/monthly CDS

    Please, NYSC should begin and end with the three weeks in orientation camp. Every other activity is not necessary.

    Verdict: Get me out of here. 

    [ad]

    14. Passing out parade

    It’s like getting to the end of a badly written Nollywood script. Won’t you be happy when you see “The End”? Exactly. Let’s pack this shit up and never speak of it again. 

    Verdict: This is fun.

    15. The big social media post

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    How else will the people know you’re fit to run for office if they don’t find pictures of you posing with your NYSC certificate? Documenting is an important process of it all, please dear. 

    Verdict: This is fun.

    16. Jobless again

    We Ranked 16 NYSC Experiences from “This is Fun” to “Get Me Out of Here”

    So your PPA didn’t retain you. You reach out to relatives who promised to help with a job and they say “Aired, DFKM”. On top of this, the government has stopped giving you their meagre ₦33k. Haq haq haq. Welcome to your quarter-life crisis era.

    Verdict: Get me out of here.

    The red custom hood is giving something about Christmas church decor that I can’t shake. But yes, they also make it to this spot in the list just because they’re not affiliated with any shade of blue.

    In case you haven’t already noticed, the choice of colour is an important, albeit by accident, criterion for this list since most schools move like blue fabric is the only one in the market. EKSU gets a B+ for this combo. 

    6. University of Ibadan

    More navy blue for my already tired eyes.

    They kinda ate with this. Or are my eyes deceiving me? Because lilac and purple is an elite combo.

    4. Bayero University

    When I want to look at it, my head will be headaching me. Let’s just agree they made it this far up the list because my eyes were slightly closed. Also, we already agreed to rate people with uncommon colours, right?

    3. Federal University of Agriculture, Funaab

    It’s heavy on primary colours but I think this gown gives a chance for stylish students to shine. 

    2. University of Lagos

    UNILAG can disguise all they want. We can agree the only reason their convocation gown looks like IT is because their students are stylish AF. But we’re still judging the yellow and wine combo sha.

    1. University of Port Harcourt

    A Nigerian university with a black graduation gown? You’ll have to unalive my enemies to make me remove UNIPORT from this spot. They ate, swallowed and shat convocation high fashion. I have no choice but to stan!

    How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

    Have you just written the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) with your school or as a private (GCE) candidate? Here are two simple ways to check your result online after the West African Examination Council (WAEC) releases it.

    How to check your WAEC result on the official website

    First off, if you took the exams through your secondary school, they must’ve given you a Smart Identity Card (SIC) beforehand. This SIC contains a result checker PIN and a serial number. With them, you may proceed to the steps outlined below:

    Step 1

    Visit the official WAEC website on your mobile device or computer.

    Step 2

    How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

    Click on the menu, and select the “Check my result” option. You’ll be redirected to the official WAEC result checker website.

    Step 3

    Input your 10-digit WAEC examination number. It’s your seven-digit centre number followed by your three-digit candidate number, and you can find this on your SIC. It should look something like this: 4167856799

    Step 4

    How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

    Input the year you took the examination. A drop-down menu will display different years to choose from.

    Select the type of examination. You’re either a school or GCE candidate.

    Step 6

    Scratch your SIC to enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN). Then input the voucher serial number.

    Step 7

    How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

    Click “Submit” and wait for the results window to pop up.

    Note: If you misplaced your SIC or are a GCE candidate without access to one, you can purchase a WAEC result checker scratch card available online via e-commerce websites like Jumia, Konga, Opay and Quickteller. You can also get a physical copy at bookstores near you.

    How to check your WAEC results via SMS

    You can also check your WAEC results via SMS on a mobile device. 

    Step 1

    Go to your text messaging app and input 32327 in the recipient box.

    How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

    Step 2

    Input the following information in the dialogue box:

    WAEC*ExamNo*PIN*ExamYear

    It should look like this:

    Postgraduate study is a different ball game from undergraduate. First off, you’re either funding it by keeping up a demanding day job or you have parents who expect to yield greater ROI compared to when they funded your undergraduate study. 

    Whatever group you fall under, your academic journey is not complete if you don’t find yourself asking these questions along the way.

    “Who send me?”

    This question hits you during the first few weeks of your study period. You’ll start to think about how you had a perfect life before you single handedly voted to complicate it.

    “Will I fail?”

    Months into the program, you’ll come to the realisation that keeping a day job and running a master’s program at the same time is not a child’s play. You don’t feel like quitting yet, but you’re having multiple doubts about making that distinction.

    “Should I resign?”

    This question creeps into your mind when your day job attempts to sabotage your academics. But you also know resignation isn’t an option because your bills won’t sort themselves.

    “Should I drop out?”

    At this point, you’re ready to throw in the towel because your supervisor is after your life. You don’t care that people will call you a loser and you don’t give a flying fuck about the opinions of your coursemates. At least, you have a strong BSc.

    “What’s really in this life?”

    This question comes months after you psyched yourself up the first time. But you now regret your actions because both your academic work and day job are pointless to you. You just want to be a living thing in God’s good earth without any worries. 

    “Will this be worth it?”

    You’re close to the finish line, done with your coursework, wrapping up your thesis and reminiscing about all the times you almost called it quits. So you genuinely want to know if this academic investment that almost took your life will yield results. 

    “Will you attend my convocation?”

    You finally made it to the finish line, and you’re like the happy child with a new toy. You’re tempted to extend an invitation to your enemies because they must witness how you made it to the finish line.

    Go with the ones that come in silk and have gold buttons. You wouldn’t have to announce yourself twice at the university gate before the security guards lead you to the convocation hall.
