I keep on wondering whether it’s a taboo in Ghana to get something done for you easily. I’ve been pissed about this situation for a long time cause it happens always. No matter what, it will happen to you as long as you are in Ghana( Ghanaian). A foreigner might not get to feel this pain since we seem to cherish making things easier for other people.
Am in my final year and as we know it, it’s a norm to fulfil your final year project before you complete. It’s a final-year project and it forms a huge part of your final grade. Since am doing computer science we are mostly encouraged to build systems. Now the thing is when it comes to this project you need a project supervisor.
What these project supervisors do is that they guide you through the project little by little until you finish your project. After that, they assess you and award you the final grade. It’s a norm to see that project supervisors intentionally waste your time so that you don’t get things done easily or rather leave easily when you finish with your final paper. We were assigned our project supervisor weeks ago and we had to literally beg him to meet us. Even when the group was created he didn’t want to join. He insisted all his project students join before we added him.
Well, after that he finally joined. Days passed by and this man said nothing in the group. All this while other supervisors had already met with their project students and approved their project topics. We asked the group leader to set up a meeting and after a week or two it was successful.
On the day of the meeting, it was another hustle. We decided to meet him after his lecture, we followed this him to his office only for him to leave us standing outside. We had to wait for almost 40 to 45 minutes before he spoke to us.
We waited for that long just to hear him talk to us about the normal stuff. He then asked us to choose our topics and send him the proposals through google classroom. This one was another problem. He gave us almost 3 weeks or so to do that. We did that and after submitting he took almost a month to approve the topics. By the time he approved them, we had already started with our end-of-semester exams.
This means I’ll have to wait till we finish the exams before I can start with chapter one of the project. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a norm to stress the hell out of you. It happens literally in all corners of the country. They don’t want you to get through something smoothly. It’s either they ask you to go and come back the next day or they make you wait for hours and hours.
Now that he has responded he has given us up to three weeks to submit chapter one and two. When we go on vacation we will have one more semester to complete but he will find ways of wasting time so even if we finish with the papers early they can keep us in school for up to a month just because of the final year project. Yes, I know people have said final year is hard and all that but it’s because of these little troubles. I don’t understand why things can’t be made easy.
It seems because they didn’t have it easy they want to make it a priority to pass it on year after year and if incase you are in a position of authority one day you will also love to do same or should I say love to see people suffer.
What kind of tradition is this?

Oh😂😂😂sorry.
At this rate, I know you will have more to rant about soon.
I told my supervisor to hold on with me till after the exams cause he was just in to stress my life.
Next semester will be so much so I intend to just use this break to do evy
I’ve only heard bad stories about this supervisor so I guess yeh.
Eii wow😂. Not my supervisor .
You know not all supervisors will want that right. He will wanna make it look like you just have it to someone to do it.
You had the luxury of telling your supervisor to hold on? Lol that’s one understandable supervisor😂
As for the ranting, you’re all about to go on a ranting spree soon and I’m going to enjoy reading every one of your experiences😂 I did my fair share of ranting about final year last year😂
Someone her supervisor wished her a happy birthday. You don’t know what is going on😂.
You are savage. You love to see us suffer right 😂?
Kaish sorry oo. My mistake😂😂😂
It’s not your suffering I enjoy. It’s the funny reasons you’ll be suffering for. The “my supervisor x and y and z”😂😂😂
Ahaa😂
I know right? Mine is not even funny.
Someone’s supervisor approved his project and after chapter one and two the supervisor swore he didn’t approve that project😂.
He had to change. The most annoying part of the situation was that after asking him to change topics he asked him if he’s okay.😂
How the fuck can he be okay. 😂
I’ve seen this happen before. My friend Nat and his supervisor had the same problem. The guy will ask him to make some corrections and when he does and brings it back for review, his supervisor will swear everything there is that it wasn’t what he asked him to do and ask him to do something different.
Yo this is the funniest thing I’ve heard today😂😂😂😂
That’s wicked 😂. How can you do that.
It was funny but we couldn’t laugh cause he was really annoyed😂
Oh what do you mean?😂😂 it’s just a risk I took and it worked
Lmfao welcome to the club.
Final year project is a different kind of wahala all together. Most of the stress comes from the up and down and hola hoops project supervisors make you jump through just to get even a meeting with them. They make it look like you need to beg them to guide you like bro it’s your fucking job!
I was fortunate to have a very understanding supervisor. Lol it was actually quite the opposite in my case. He used to be the one always available and asking us to come meet him and we’d bail most of the time on him. He was the best, seriously. The only way my group was stressed was with the work itself. Going from campus to the field, and analyzing samples in the lab. We used to leave campus like 7am to stand until 12pm in the field and get back to the lab to stand from 12pm to around 8pm EVERYDAY! I fell sick many times over because of the nature of the work. It wasn’t easy. Seriously.
You’ll get through it. It’s just one more semester left. To be honest, this last semester is where you’ll actually see what stress is. This right now is child’s play compared to what is coming. Lol jk(haha no I’m not). But you’ll be done with it all after the stress and the freedom you get after is totally worth the stress.
Good luck, man.
I don’t like this club you are putting me in😂.
Wow, that’s great. Having an understanding supervisor like Mariam’s is the ish. Man we have to beg and beg our supervisor to meet us oo. He claims his deadlines are robust but then he doesn’t care about attending to us early.
I’ve heard about him from the others and I know he will definitely stress the hell out of us. I was praying not to get him but since am not lucky, I got him. Infact I knew I will get him 😂
I don’t know about you guys, but for us, right after we were assigned to our supervisors, the departments told us we could ask to be reassigned to different supervisors if we knew we couldn’t work under the one we were originally assigned to. Lol I guess not having that is case 2 of you not being lucky.
Oh yep a few people have done that actually. But the one you are going to should also want you.
Yeah true. Or else if they reject you, you’ll become an orphan cos your supervisor sure as hell won’t take you back after you tried to cheat on him😂😂😂
Same here. He is always available and asking to meet all the time. Some days no one would go and he would come to the group and schedule another date. He is just there texting and replying himself in the group 😂😂.
I actually wanted to rant about him earlier. Not that he is not stressing my life, but I’ve got a few strings to pull😂.
When I finally decide to rant about it which I know I will be doing in the next 3 weeks, you will get to understand what’s going on😂
I’ll get some popcorn and wait. Sounds like it’ll be a very long rant😂

It's not any different here in Nigeria.
Sorry about the stress! I wish you the best of luck 🖤
😂😂man I think it’s the same in all African countries right.
Its the same or worst in Nigeria. Here the supervisors dont just waste your time, but try to pressure you to offer money. Its a sad situation.

My fellow people have been telling me same 😂.
Yep joined it already. Thanks for the invite.
That guy sounds like a real asshole. I hate people like that and he’s using his status as the one who needs to help you to his advantage. Pain in the ass!
They make it look like without their approval you can’t go forward. Well, that’s how the system here is so I don’t blame him for doing that. Eventually we will graduate but the kind of stress we will go through won’t be easy.
