...they've really got to get their act together and make their "web site" (abi is it portal self) usable. They set deadlines for enrollment, but entrants spend almost the whole day on three web pages filling in vital statistics, all of these can be done under about the same time spent sending two paragraphs' e-mail, at snail speed.

Emmm, we know it's important to come up to speed with making registrations easier and digitized, but then you need to tidy up your kini before you launch the site. Why must everything be so bad, eh!? Registration, wahala. Result check, wahala. Admission processing, assuming you escaped their ax, wahala. Being in school, wahala. As if the whole poor way of handling things isn't enough! Is it more memory or hard disk space required for your servers? Or your web servers run off the backyards of the tire market in Ladipo? (yeah yeah, we know that's how Google started), But what is it self? Are you the only ones that have web sites? ah-ah! Same thing applies to most other Nigerian institutions, banks not excluded.

I'm trying to do this for a friend. And no I'm not in those crappy internet cafés trying to fill this out. I've downloaded three different 65MB files while waiting and even thought to dust off the cobwebs that I came to clean up weeks ago on this joint.

Like one blogger says, Me sef, I tire!
