5 Boring Departments In Nigerian Universities

During my sojourn in the Ivory Tower, I was able
to figure out that some departments didn't
just host lively students and activities. News
hardly came from such departments and it
seemed these departments were not part of the
university community! 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! . Na Agric
Faculty dey always carry last for my university
faculty football championship competition! .
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!!! . 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.
