Seriousness is needed

Okay, the semester begun last week on the 12th of February 2018, work resumed since January 3rd 2018 after the Christmas break. All in the name of putting things together for the benefit of the students. Since last week Monday through to Friday no student showed up for lectures. Lecturers, administrators, service personnel etc were all present to kick start the semester. The most important persons ( students) were nowhere to be found.

The unseriousness of students in these generation is killing the development of society and the country at large. I was more than amazed to see a final year student walking about without any level of seriousness attached to his education. Their results are out and I could see them roaming around and entering office to offices, trying to talk to lecturers to do something about their results as if the lecturers intended failing them.

Today is the second week, and you'll be surprise at the attendance of students especially final year students. In a class of not less than 100 students, only few attended lectures and in other classes too quite a number but some nothing at all. Others are just sitting about doing nothing.

These students who are the leaders of tomorrow are walking about aimlessly, driving posh cars, attending all sorts of events in the name of having fun leaving their books behind. These are the same people who will go round looking for jobs and when they're employed, they perform poorly at work making the employers blame teachers, lecturers etc.

The development of our societies rest on our shoulders and we all need to be a part of it. Education they say is the key to justice and progress, if we refuse to learn, read, research etc how well are we going to help the society? How will the society benefit from us? We'll always be left behind and wait for foreigners to control us in our own mother land.

Let us rise up and educate ourselves
Let us rise up and read more
Let us rise up and research more
Let us rise up and be nation builders.
Let us encourage our brothers and sisters at the University to take their education serious.
