Work Hard To Escape Hawks In University System, UNICAL VC Urges Students

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Obi, has admonished lazy students to work hard or become preys to hawks in the university system.
Obi gave the warning at a Sunday service, organised by the Campus Fellowship of the Deeper Life Bible Church at the university’s Conference Centre.
She advised the students to be conscious always that they were in the university for one purpose to study and earn their degrees and not to be given degrees.
She said parents labouring to see them through school would be proud to celebrate them on their graduation and not to pick their corpses due to cult activities or other vices.
“I don’t want students in my school to be having carryover. Only lazy students carry over their courses.
“When you are a lazy student, you become vulnerable to the hawks in the system.
“There are so many hawks in the system, from professors to cleaners, waiting to perch on you.
“If you give them the opportunity, you will be devoured.
“They will keep extorting you because you have made yourself a borderline student for refusing to work hard.
“For Unical, we are doing everything humanly possible to see how our students would be protected from exploitation, victimisation, the ‘sorting’ syndrome and other vices.
“But the students must also help us. All you need to do is send me a text message to 08037113266.
“We don’t need your name, just the name of the lecturer asking for sorting, the course and the code and we will go after him or her,” Obi said.
Also, the VC, University of Cross River, Prof. Augustine Angba, said that if Christian students practised their Christianity in school, there would be less problems in the nation’s universities.
Angba invited the leadership of the church to hold a similar service in his university for the presence of God to reign.
In a sermon, entilted “Jesus, the bulk ends on His table, try Jesus”, Eddison Daminabo, a pastor and Overseer of the Deeper Life Bible Church in Cross River, said “all the world needs is a sincere repentance and not long prayers”.
Daminabo, who spoke from John 12: 20 to 21, said everyone, including the rich, poor, sick, educated and uneducated, needs Jesus.
“He is the only one that can save, heal and deliver anyone from any type of affliction,” he said.
