During my NYSC, I served alongside some dudes that graduated from UK and US Universities respectively ......


I asked them questions on the system of Education in their School and I was made to realise these ;


1 . Four Academic Sessions (Years) will earn you B.sc and M.sc respectively while Only Two Academic Session (years) will Earn you Just B.sc,alone !!!





In Nigeria,Four Academic Sessions is just B.sc, If ASUU yearly strike is held constant, else, Four years would be 6 years ........


Why is Two Years for B.sc In most advanced Nation Translate to Four years in Nigeria ? (Failure Number 1)




2. We discussed Course Modules,Orientation and Means of delivering Knowledge and I was made to Realise most of their(UK/US) courses are Research Based ............. E.g If U are Offering Accounting 101 which is principle of accounting ........ One must have a company,enterprise or supermarket where the practicablility of ACC 101 will be acquired and same goes for most courses Theory and Practicability goes hand in hand as well as Presentation of Findings



i.e You will see it firsthand how ACC 101 is being applied in companies,Businesss et all .......


When U are done with Field Research, U will present your findings using PowerPoint and Projector ...... Research Project begins from the scratch !!!



In Nigeria, don't even talk about our copy and paste Projects .....Only Few Ph.D Research are real as for B.sc/M.sc na grin .......


Examination in Nigeria has always been La Cram La Pour and heavily Theoretical based without/with little Practical Experience!!! ......


Most Nigerian Graduate do not excel in INTERVIEW because the school never prepare them for one .......



In Nigeria, School only served as Orientation camp as most of the knowledge U acquired in School have little Relevance on the Job why .... Trends in Business Change Everyday while Lecture Note of Nigerian Lecturers only change every 5-10 years


During my Early years in the University,I tried forming Efiwe by Writing outside my Lecturer's note ........ Which I will never do again most especially in Nigeria ......I never knew U must give back what U were given !!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A Nigerian Graduate who wants to compete with Graduates of First 100 Universities in the world Must be ready to develop himself outside the School by Incorporating recent trends in your discipline and understand the rudiments


The Lecturers do not even care about students psychology .........What is Carry-over,what is spill,what is splash ....... Any student that failed a course should come back and resit during the Holiday instead of loading such with unnecessary volumes in normal session ....... A poor student failed a course instead of helping him/her out for society sake by resit while others are ahome, he/she will be loaded with more avenue to fail !!!


I don't think I should discuss Infastructure and other Educational Amenities ..... That one go make me to be a Learner ....... Make I no come downgrade the already downgraded grin


Nigerian Universities are still quite far from ist 1000 in the world and not 100



UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN,PROBITAS DOCTRINA,BETTER BY FAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ADVANCING IN THE VALUE CHAIN watch-out !!! grin

Sylvalord1: Placing a nigerian university among the top 100 universities in d world can't happen in this generation

REASONS
1)no African university is among d top 100 in d world

2)no Nigerian university is among d top 6000 in d world

3)Nigerian universities are rated low in Africa

4)no Nigerian university deserves to be among d top 500 in d world(I mean currently). Ditto. You are 100% correct. No Nigerian university will be in the top 10, 000 in the world. That's the honest truth. Education in Nigeria is a mess . That's why a lot of Nigerians are going to universities in Ghana.

so we still av a long way to go

Why are some folks talking like strangers? We are talking about TOP 100 varsities in the WORLD and some are mentioning this and that...... Candidly, you and I should know that most, if not all, Nigerian varsities are glorified secondary schools. Nigerian universities should all be revamped in three areas 1. Infrastructures 2. Manpower and 3. Curriculum content and instructional planning. Then you have the years of experience needed to qualify. Before our varsities make it there it will possibly equally take 100 years to be among the first 100 varsities in the world.

Red_Card: Earlier this month, a list of the World's Top 100 Universities was published (anyone who can post a link to the list should do it please because I don't know how to create a link). As usual, universities in the US lead the list followed by the UK universities.

Universities in Canada, Japan, China as well as Australlian Universities all made the list. I don't think an African University had a spot on that list.....you guys should correct me if am wrong. I haven't been to the US or UK but I believe some of the Universities they listed are no longer as good as they used to be which is why Oxford didn't take take the number one spot.

Some of the schools might have been overrated. While I believe Unilag, Uniuyo, FUTO and even Unizik my dream Uni are overhyped and undersevedly glorified, I still think a Nigerian University deserves atleast a mention. Even when top African Universities are mentioned, Nigerian Universities are usually left out or placed at the bottom of the list but I don't think we are that bad.

I think it's high time they place a Nigerian Uni on the top 100 Universities list even if it would be at the bottom. I don't know what you guys think but am voting Uniben. I think they deserve an honorary mention.

Next time, we'll be talking about good and bad Nigerian school hostels.

[b]No Nigerian University will be among the top 100 in the world for several reasons. Education is money. Countries like South Africa that have many of their Universities highly rated in Africa are really investing in education. You can imagine, the South African president saying that 50% of their budget goes to education. Ghana is allocating 30% of their budget to education. Nigeria only allocated 8% to education, yet we want to be highly rated like some of these Universities. Lecturer student ratio is another basic thing they use in rating Universities. In many of our Universities in Nigeria you will see one lecturer teaching 1,000 students in some cases. That is absurd. Many of our Universities don't subscribe to the journals in different fields that will help the students in their research work. Libraries are loaded with outdated books. Poor internet facility. How can be be highly rated? Nigerians are very intelligent, they are lecturing in many of this Universities that are highly rated. However, our government have not provided a conducive environment for them to be able to come back home. [/b]
