You still haven’t seen Your Name on the LASU 2016/2017 Admission List

      

        Surely it’s painful and all that, going through the process of writing JAMB and the screening process and yet you still do not see your name on the list. The stress you’ve gone through looking for the ICT Centre in LASU, even relying on someone to help you out.
 
    I understand what it means not seeing your name on the list, it could be depressing and discouraging. You probably might have even quit your Job in preparation for school. 

You’ve seen the First list hoping your name would be on it, but NO didn’t see your name. Now LASU just released another list, the Batch B list and still didn’t see your name.

That’s really disheartening, even when you’re sure that you would see your name on the list. Wait a minute! Let me inform you that there is still hope, because there is still hope for the hopeful. Now let me break this down to you aspirants that have not still seen their name on the admission list.

This year LASU would release about Four (4) lists:
•    The 100level merit list - Batch A
•    The 100 level supplementary – First round batch B
•    The 100 level supplementary – Second round batch B
•    The Direct Entry list

LASU has released the Batch A and First round Batch B list for 100 level Jambites. Aspirants that have not seen their names yet shouldn’t lose hope like I said earlier. You just have to wait in anticipation.

The Direct entry list would also be dispatched to the school’s site. Direct entry candidates applied via Jamb Direct entry, they applied for straightforward admission into 200 and 300levels correspondingly. This fact proves that the Candidates are admitted into LASU via Post Jamb Screening and Direct entry processes.

Candidates that applied for Medicine and did not meet up with the school’s cut-off mark would have their course changed to various courses like Botany, Zoology, Physics, Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Fisheries, Biology and maybe Biochemistry.

SEE: Photos from the Hult Prize [Semi-Competition] @ LASU


This was the case Last year as students who did not meet up with the school’s cut-off mark had their courses changed to other Courses. If you’re given any course you didn’t apply for, you should just accept it. It is better you do because admission into the university is no gag, but if you still have the desire for that course you admire so much, you’d have to hold on to this one you’re given now, write another JAMB and hopefully you get that course.

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO ENGAGE MYSELF AFTER HIGH SCHOOL WHILE I WAIT FOR MY UNIVERSITY ADMISSION?

Congratulations! So you just finished secondary school but arrgh, staying at home has been so boring and the admission list seems to be taking forever to roll out.

Well, it’s smart not wanting to stay idle. But the big question is what’s going to engage you?

Many young school leavers opt in for jobs as clerks, sales persons, but most especially factory jobs and teaching jobs.

Although it can’t be proven true, I think 8 out of 10 primary schools have at least 1 SSCE holder as a teacher. But I think before to spend this precious time on anything, you need to consider some things.

Will I gain experience that will have long term benefits? It’s not all about money. You should hunger for knowledge and experience that will build up into the future. Have it in mind that whatever you do should be profitable to you in university or maybe after. Make long term bets.

Learning or acquiring a skill in computing, hair care, tailoring, mechanics, electronics, catering, bead making, painting, radio electronics, aluminium work and metal work, art work, Web & Graphics designing, etc. is not just going to engage you today. It can take you places and keep you places in your future.

Is it CV “append able”?

This question goes in hand with the previous. Do ask yourself, “Years after this Job, can I scribble it on my resume?”

There are a couple of medical doctors; pharmacologists wanna bees working at pharmacies, orthopaedic home just to gain a forehand experience on what they want to do. For example, attending conferences or doing things in your community that has to do with your career path can help.

Not all experiences should relate to your degree anyway. Sometimes you see an A working in K company. You could say it is so because of corruption BUT it is not always so. It is because the person has done or engaged in something relating to K once upon a time.

Is it legal and parent approved?

If you are reading this, there are high chances that you are a teenager and still under your parent’s care. There so many Jobs most teenagers engage themselves with. There are so many Jobs out there. Like Factory work, marketing (looking into it critically) among others may not be too safe and legal.

Mum and Dad may not like that but you have to respect that. There are so many jobs that the government and global child right laws may have ruled up against your kind of work. E.g. factory related jobs where conditions are terrible for even adults.

You may also……….

·       Work in a cyber café.

·       Render typing services to schools around for their newsletter and exams.

·       Work in a bakery.

·       Do laundry for households in distant or nearby neighbourhoods.

·       Put in your skill/service into a creative business or start one.

Why it is So Hard to Get Admitted into a Nigerian UNIVERSITY? (PART 1)

When you read this Title the next thing that comes to your mind is JAMB. Right? Yes of course!

There are so many reasons why students do not gain admission easily into the Nigerian Universities. Some of which are on the parts of:

·       Students

·       The government

·       Teachers

·       Parents

·       The educational institution

·       The Matriculation Board (JAMB)

·       And most importantly the existent Competition

Let’s take a look at the role of the following people and body on how they affect a student’s admission process into the University.

STUDENTS

         Take the Decision to get admitted into the University, Be determined and be disciplined about it.

         

          You are responsible for what happens to you. You cannot blame anyone for your failure neither can you blame anyone for your success.

         

          What’s my point Here? As a student, you must be serious (take note of the word “must”). You should face your studies fair and square; nothing in this entire world should distract you from your studies.

          A student should know where He/she is heading to in Life. A student should be focused, determined, enthusiastic and charismatic. A student with the following characteristics has a targeted future and is headed toward the right path.

       

          Now let’s take the scenario of a non-chalant student, who gets easily distracted with his environment, the new trends and hardly faces his studies.

Such a student has no focus, no hunger for success in his academics and will obviously not do well in his academics.

      

The 21^st Century Nigerian Student/Teenager is exposed to a lot of things; 

Technology, Internet, Relationship and Sex.

This non-disciplined student will spend more time on the internet than on his studies.

       

Come to think of it, about 95% of Nigerian Students/Teenagers are exposed. Be it Teens from the Island or the Mainland, they are all exposed.

Technology

        Technology is a craft of Handwork by Man to improve human life and promote well being.

        About 75% of Students/Teenagers in Nigeria misuse Technology and the internet. They surely don’t promote learning with Technology and Internet because they spend more time networking on Social Media and doing lots of irrelevant things that do not benefit them.

They use their smart devices to do things they can’t even disclose to their parents like watching porn videos.

The remaining 25% use Technology to promote their learning.

A student who uses Technology to maximum and optimum use will promote learning on his path by Researching different Topics (already taught or not), Watching educational Videos, Listening to Educational Audio Lectures.

Students are strongly advised to use technology to their advantage in terms of Learning.

The Internet

          Everyone is familiar with the internet. It is because you’re on the internet makes you able to read this, 100% true. As a student, you cannot be taught how to use the internet, “except you are a dummy”.

        Use the internet wisely, Make research, and gather information that is beneficial to your admission course. Most importantly feed your brain with the right knowledge.

Download the right past questions, for the University you’re gunning for, make sacrifices, when you are asked to buy what is beneficial to you; do so. It’s important to you.

Relationship and Sex

          Now let’s dwell on student’s relationship with the Opposite sex.

Every teenager wants to be involved in one relationship or two. Being in a relationship as a teenager and as a student is not in any way advisable but if you dim it fit and you have the maturity to handle a relationship, you can go ahead.

If you are one that is emotionally unstable, you should pull out of that relationship now, if you want a fulfilling future.

LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY 2015/16 ORIENTATION PROGRAMME

AS IT HAPPENED

              On this Day, 17^th of February 2016 the programme kicked off some minutes after the hour of 9:00am as students were required to register before going into the Main auditorium. Students from different faculties and their respective departments trooped in, occupying the dark colored seats in the Main auditorium.

              Different dignitaries came in and sat on the High table, one of which was significant was the arrival of the Vice Chancellor who was welcomed with a standing ovation.

The M.C at that moment, made the auditorium lively with the popular alute: And of the Greatest Lasuites. In which everyone echoed GREEAAAAAT!

            This followed with the Opening prayer, National Anthem and the School Anthem. Both the National Anthem and the School Anthem were led by LASU’s Musical Band (a group of talented students).

The Vice-Chancellor and other dignitaries; some Professors and Senior lecturers were recognized. 

            Being time conscious, the Vice-Chancellor addressed every 100 level student present in the auditorium in a very special way. The Vice-Chancellor’s communiqué was truly a unique one.

He called out eight bold students from different departments and asked each student the same question: “Why are you here?” The first person who answered the question was a lady from the department of Nursing. I can’t quite remember what she said but she got everyone electrified. How did she get everyone electrified? 

She answered in a bold and stylish manner and what she said made everyone want to cheer her. One of the students answered in a gesticulate manner, saying he was here to be orientated. Some other said he was here to be learned and prove to the world that LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY is the Best.

These answers the student gave all seemed satisfactory to the VC. He appreciated them with a warm hand shake and of course, a handy takeaway.

The VC made it known to us that these students have said exactly what he was meant to say. 

Talking in a passionate manner and like a good father would advice his son. He enlightened us on the dos and don’ts of LASU. He warned against any form of bad behavior among students, rudeness to lecturers, staff and officials, arrogance and cultism.

Penalty for such offences among students would result in what he called Early Graduation which is rather known as Expulsion.

He advised students to face their studies squarely and avoid any form of distraction.

Concluding his speech, he talked briefly on the sentence “the future starts here and now”. He thanked everyone that made the programme possible and immediately, he took His leave.

As he left there was a thunderous applause in the auditorium. An escort and some professors followed from behind.

The programme continued it was rowdy outside just by the door way as more students kept trooping in just to be part of the programme. Those that couldn’t find a vacant seat were asked to go upstairs or rather stand by the door way.

The bursar, the chief librarian, the I.C.T Head official, an executive from the Examination and Result board, LASU, the M.D of Wema Bank, LASU branch, the Security head official and some Volunteers from the Pastor Bimbo Odukoya Foundation addressed the students.

The bursar, who didn’t get much of the student’s interest talked about School fees and registration of students; School fees payments, amount of school fees, paying school fees as at when due, paying online and to no other person nor bank.

The bursar took some questions from a couple of students and answered professionally. He also talked about Scholarships and Bursary payments (a particular amount of money paid to a student of LASU by the Local government/ State which the student hails from). This amount of money is given to the student yearly.

Before any student is paid this bursary, he/she must have met some requirements like submitting some required documents and getting approved before he/she is entitled to bursary payment .“He said”

He referred the students to the student association of their respective states for more enquiries and information on Bursary payments.

The student association of Osun state Students was present at the programme. They functioned as Ushers and took the attendance of students that hailed from Osun. These Ushers were all on white T-shirts with an imprint which read “The student association of Osun state Students”.

The Chief Librarian lectured the students on the use of the University Library. He advised students to use the Library to their advantage for better Learning. He hinted on the amount of information the LASU Library contained.

He brought to the notice of students that they get registered by getting their library cards in order to use the library fully.

The I.C.T Head official, using some presentation tools (Laptop, Projector and Screen) with the aid of an assistant showed everyone in the auditorium how to go about checking their results online (LASU’s website-www.lasu.edu.ng)

He gave a brief lecture on the Topic DATABASE, how results were uploaded online and how results were being graded:

Ø 5.0-4.5à First class

Ø 4.4-3.9à Second class upper

Ø 3.8-3.4àSecond class lower

Ø 3.3-2.9à Third class and so on

He caught everyone’s attention when he narrated the story of a LASU first class student who beat two UNILAG students to come top. He also showed everyone the result of this first class student. He concluded his presentation by sharing some contacts of the I.C.T Dept. LASU

The executive from the Examination and Result board, LASU was passionate in her presentation I really felt the passion in her. She talked about exams, Statement of results and Certificate. The area on Statement of results caught everyone’s full attention.

She gave an experience of a lady who knew nothing of a document called STATEMENT OF RESULTS. The statement of result as the name implies shows the statement of your whole result from your first year in the university till you become a graduate.

This lady in question graduated from LASU, collecting her Certificate alone, got a job, worked for some years in a particular organization and was asked for her Statement of results which she couldn’t provide. You know the rest of the story.

The executive urged that while graduating from LASU, you shouldn’t just collect your certificate alone; it must be coupled with the Statement of Results or else your hard earned Certificate would be rendered useless after some working years. This could prove fatal to one’s career. TAKE NOTE!

She made it known to everyone that while collecting your statement of result, you shouldn’t be intimidated by anyone or asked to pay some amount before collecting your statement of result. “It is your right!” She made it clear. She concluded by sharing some contacts.

The M.D of Wema bank, LASU was also highly recognized in this programme. From the looks of things, Wema sponsored the programme I believe. The M.D, a graduate of LASU, talked about the partnership with LASU.

Using this medium, she advertized Wema bank to the students and convinced the students to open an account with Wema bank.  “You can open a Wema bank account with a minimum of N1000, opening an account with Wema helps you manage your resources” she said. 

She made reference to the fact that Wema bank as a financial institution in Nigeria partners with other higher institutions like UNILAG, Yaba College of Technology, Federal Polytechnic of Ibadan and many other institutions.

She excited everyone when she talked about the prices to be won when you take a group selfie, post it on Instagram, have the highest number of likes and become a winner of these wonderful prices (Amount of money worth N20000, Smart phones, Flat screen TV, Sound system and other consolation prices).

She concluded, reminding the students of the motto: with you all the way

The Pastor Bimbo Odukoya Foundation represented by a woman really gave an inquisitive but educative one on the topic RAPE. 

Summarizing what she lectured, she shared some stats with the student which says that: 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 FEMALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IS RAPED MOST IN THEIR FIRST YEAR, 75% OF CAMPUS RAPE, 80% UNREPORTED.

She shared some safety tips:

ü Know your limits

ü Stick with friends

ü Watch your drink

ü Trust your gut

And what to do if sexually assaulted or raped:

ü Go to a safe place

ü Report to the nearest police station

ü Call a friend, family member, or someone you trust who can be with you and give you support

ü Save all of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault

ü Place each item of clothing in a separate bag

ü Get medical attention

ü Seek counseling

She talked about staying safe on campus:

·        Be secure

·        Stay alert

·        Make a plan

·        Know you limits

·        Protect your drink

·        Think about plan B

·        Make other earn your trust

·        Be careful about what you post online

·        Know your resources, phone numbers you can contact during emergency

“Be a good friend who cares” she advised.

Cà create a distraction

Aà ask directly

Rà refer to an authority

Eàenlist others

        She shared some useful contacts in case of an emergency Lagos state Help line: 112, 08037960048. Mirabel centre: 07013491769.

At this point the Auditorium was tensed up, thanks to the students from the theatre Arts Dept. who put up some lively show of cultural dance coupled with some beat from traditional drums played by some male students.

The ladies gave their all, singing and dancing to the beat from the konga drums. The crowd, on their feet went wild, full of cheers and hails.

The crowd got to the peak of the entertainment when two performing ladies danced up to the High table where the M.D of Wema bank, LASU was seated and the two influenced the M.D to dig it.

T’was a wonderful show put up by the performers. As they danced off the stage, the crowd, once again wild, gave a loud cheer. What a way to get entertained.

The mc thanked the performers very much. There were also refreshments for the students.

The programme ended with prayers and everyone, in a rowdy manner trooped outside to continue the day with some Wema-organized-get together (party). Students opened their Instant Wema Bank Account just in front of the Main Auditorium while others took their time in taking the best group selfie hoping to win prizes.
