After visiting some Nigerian higher institutions of learning in recent
times, I discovered that the ‘boring’ phenomenon still exists.
Below are some of the departments.
1) Department of Religious Studies: often
times when I walked passed this department to my faculty, I couldn’t
help but wondered whether it is a grave yard since the whole place would
be so quiet. The students are not usually much too and they always have
this facial expressions of ‘Na wa…na me dey study this one’…’Abeg, I
don tire for life sef’…’Na make e no be like say we no go school’. You
hardly hear any campus news from this department too! I wonder what
graduates from this department do because I haven’t seen any of the
religious studies graduate during my time yet!!!
2) Department of Agricultural Science: The
value or importance of agriculture in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized
but the way most Nigerian students see this course has made it to
become such a boring department that most students on campus look down
on with dismay! Most guys who find themselves in this
department/faculty, sometimes, feel inferior to approach babes in
departments/faculties such as Law and Medicine because they always
erroneously think that the babe would look down on them! grin. Na Agric
Faculty dey always carry last for my university faculty football
championship competition! grin. That inferiority mentality still dey
affect them!
3) Department of Philosophy: Another
boring department! I once thought of students in this department having
a quiet room where they sit and reason for hours as part of their
semester exams!!! cheesy. I told a friend and he almost laughed his head
off!. Na for this dept dem go tell you say the spirit of God dey
everything, so you fit address a cup as God! It’s such a quiet
department.
4) Department of Secretarial Studies: I
don’t think most of the secretaries in many establishments studied this
course to work as a secretary. This department is hardly known and
heard of on campus. It is mostly patronised by a handful of rural girls
from neighbouring communities who dress like Mary-Amaka!
5) Department of Geography/Regional Planning and Urban Development: Another
boring department! I don’t think they ever held any event such as
departmental/award night till I left school! It is a nice course but
boring department in most Nigerian schools!
In essence, I think it is the mentality of the Nigerian society that has
‘inferiorized’ (I wonder if such word exist in English) these
departments and the students under them.
