Oseni made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Friday, February 254.

According to him, the use of Google search has turned students to lazy researchers.
He said students now relied mainly on their phone and computer set to solve simple questions, adding that they did not want to stress their brain thinking.
He said: “It is becoming a worrisome issue as students now run to their computer sets before they can answer simple arithmetic. Even assignments are being uploaded from google search just to earn marks.
“Students become lazy everyday as they don’t want to go to the library and get books that will improve them, instead they stick to their phone to get every information needed.
“They are not ready to try things on their own as they believe there is short cut somewhere on the internet. They don’t disturb their brain anymore to do anything.”
Oseni advised students to read books and use their brain in attempting questions as Google search alone would not aid their academic development.
