Aggrieved students of the Ambrose Ali University (AAU), Ekpoma in Edo state -allegedly burnt down a departmental building to register their displeasure after their results were released and failed. Below is what a witness wrote;
Quote
"This is a burning office in AAU Ambrose Ali University. It happened today around 1 am. This isn't the first time this is happening. And it always happen wen results are out. The students felt the lecturers gave them bad result on purpose. And they burnt the whole department building with everything in it. The departments involved are civil engineering and philosophy. Microbiology and education were also burnt to the ground."

Why do alot of Nigerians behave so stupidly and yet we complain about University strike and lack of infrastructures. They are other way to deal with this without having to burn down a whole department building, disrupting your studies and that of others at the same time. With the way things work in Nigeria, it will take centuries to put up a new structure for the department. No wonder we have bunch of ill trained graduate with appalling attitudes towards nation building. My sympathy to the other students that will suffer from the stupidity and short sightedness of a few.

In the end it's the same student that will suffer the consequence. the world of work needs people with practical knowledge of the job but how will they learn this practical aspect of their dicipline when they have destroyed the teaching equipment. i only feel for the innocent ones that wil now share in the same misfortune.

When you're been told to study hard by the lecturers you turned deaf ears,now the result is out,you went ahead to burn where your future lies,even if they conduct fresh examination,you will still fail.
