Many Nigerians also go to the US because of JAMB?

Sadly, the problem with Nigerian Education is not JAMB. Or does the quality of a University Education depend on JAMB? NO! The same students who fail JAMB go ahead to pass SATs, TOFFL, GCE UK, etc..

The Idea of JAMB should be scrapped as it has only succeeded in breeding mediocre graduates.. I say this because JAMB is responsible for Nigerian students ending up reading courses that the have no interest in at all.

I have been to Obafemi Awolowo University and even have a thread on Nairaland showing the school.. Truly beautiful. But also, a Universities quality does not rest on the size of its structures at all.

I know what you mean by patronizing mushroom universities and its a damn shame. But just so you know, the topic of this thread has nothing to do with the university. I didn't attend a Mushroom University in Ghana and yet my school would never have participated in a SU relaxation trip.

Obrafour: Do you have the capacity to admit all the qualified students? Why must Nigeria's problem be a shared problem with Ghana?.... Whatever that JAMB and POST-UME may mean to you
Nigerians, we Ghanaians care less.
We have our own standards and we shall not share or suffer your difficulty and inability of your leaders to provide education for all Nigerians...

Olugbenger:
You can't evade this one. That thread was talking about 'Nigerian students studying in Ghana,, who failed JAMB'.
Now this chap is comparing the duo of OAU and UNILAG with the universities in Ghana; stick to that one.
Do ur thing; be a strawmann!

Confirm what I wrote above here if you are in doubt.

One question; What is the methodology used in this rankings..

Elxandre:
I wonder how Nigerians reason sometimes!
Someone just wakes up one morning and decides to create a thread on a topic he is little informed about.
That guy that created the above thread never even schooled in Ghana, but decided to create a topic about that.

Let me address a few issues here.

The Nigerian youth has been severely brainwshed to believe that JAMB is the ultimate test of a youth's intelligence. The youths have also swallowed that demented ideology from these clueless leaders!
Even In the US you dont have to write SAT every year, but in Nigeria, you have to keep writing the same exam every year. Add the fact that even crossing the cut off mark is not a guarantee of being admitted. Must everybody be genuises scoring 80%+ before being guaranteed of admission?
We youths should be fighting the government for implementing this stupid criterias just to hide their epic faliure in terms of availability of enough Higher Institutions of learning.
Come to think of it, if they allowed youths gain admission without much hassle, do you think they wouldn't be a crisis in terms of massive unemployment as a result of spiralling number of graduates?

Nigerian youths wake up and come out of your myopic mindset!!!

And to the issue of mushroom universities in Ghana.

When I say dont talk about what you dont know, I know what i'm talking about!
These schools maybe not so large in size, but that is because many of them are not jack of all trades! Some dont offer more than three departments, So how do you expect them to have the size of OAU, Univ of Ghana, UNIBEN, University of cairo e.t.c?
You apply for a course and you get it, and even get to see the actual practical instruments, not to mention constant power supply, 24/7 access to the internet, unscropulous lecturers e.t.c That is what defines quality education, not strikes, being given stupid courses to study even after getting past the cut off mark!

Someone talked about school fees.
Common 'Acheivers university Owo' pay about 400k yearly. And that is for Nigerians alone!
What about Covenant university (glorified secondary school)? they pay up to 3million Naira for some courses yearly!
Wont you rather send your ward to University of Ghana? where even for foreign students its not over 9k dollars even for Medicine and sudgery.


Bottom line-----We should be ashamed of JAmb and POST UME.. Its just a plot to dis-educate the Nigerian youth.

sakaguchi:

SCHMURK FROM A MUSHROOM UNIVERSITY.
THANKGOD YOU SCHOOL IN GHANA, YOUR WRITE UP (dotted with errors) SHOWS WHY YOU HATE JAMB, NIGERIAN STUDENTS IN GHANA ARE JAMB CAST-AWAYS.

Since you school in Ghana, maybe you can re-tell the story better. The OP need not be in Ghana to post any topic na? He pasted the link to the story. So he may or may not be in Ghana, no qualms.


Make your argument against JAMB clear, I myself have reservation about JAMB exams, but your points against JAMB as stated above ^^^ is not potent enough.
Passing JAMB and indeed all exams is not a true test of knowledge, this is not a new assertion, it is an internecine fact that is a universal truth, exams are not true test of knowledge.
Is it right to give university admission to only those who ace their UME? Hell yea! That is the tradition world over (maybe except in your beloved Ghana), to get admission in highly competitive schools, you need to score high- Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, UI, Unilag, ABU, OAU etc.

The youths should not be fighting our government to create more universities, we should be apprising them to make our existent ones world class. Imagine that I am even saying that our universities are better than Ghanaian universities, true as this argument is, it should be an embarrassment to us, we should not be proud of besting Ghanaian universities, Nigeira should be in the league of EU and US universities, thank God ASUU is doing something about this. When the existent universities have been standardized, we can now clamor for more to be created. Besides Nigeria have more universities than Ghana, we shouldn't proliferate the system with below par universities like Ghana. I don't agree to your opinion, sorry.


Most of the universities Nigerians troop to in Ghana are mushroom universities, go through your post and see why I believe so, your write up is choc-a-bloc with errors.

No! I will not go to GH universities neither will I advise anybody to do same, what is worth doing is worth doing well, if ever I leave Nigeria to school outside, my school outside should be better than the one I left at home, sadly, the best university in Ghana land is bested by Nigerian universities.

If in doubt, check the link I posted earlier.


Listen schmurk
I said the school fees in Ghana is high and this oversight from the school that led to the death of the student is not acceptable. When I pay hefty fees in mushroom universities, I expect simple things like excursions to be planned with panache.


Bottom line,
we are not ashamed, you should be ashamed for being tutored in a mushroom university.

One question; What is the methodology used in this rankings..

Elxandre: Sakaguchi,
I typed that long post with a 2.4 inched screen, so i had no time and space to crosscheck typos!

I wonder if folks like you get orgasm from insulting anonymous people online.

You keep ranting about JAMB rejects. But I would let you know that i crossed the post UTME pass mark only to be denied admission. Instead people who werent even close to the cut off mark were admitted, thanks to their lecturer uncles and sacks of cash!

Why dont they write JAMB and post ume in many European countries?
Are we better than them?
We are talking of countries hundreds of years ahead of Nigeria in terms of civilization!

Did you know that SAT is written 7 times in a year?
Now that is a system that is not scared of high influx of students into its Educational system. If we had the same in Nigeria, would schools be able to accomodate them?

Its useless arguing with shallow minded folks like you, who only make a point trying to correct typos in sensible posts, as if smart grammar built the titanic.

And stop insulting people online, it makes you look like a frustrated 12 year old!

GHANA OGA: U are a big fuuull..4months strike is what u call quality education..no light. A nation with a bunch of retards walking into an institution to kill innocent students all in the name of religion.
Nigeria is a failed state......A nation of 150million literates depending on generator for light.get the heck out of here.

Olugbenger:

Why didn't you ask how come schools like Harvard, Oxford etc came top too?


Webometrics ranking is similar to this list too.

The ranking is almost accurate. The best universities in world too were ranked top too and sure you won't ask about the criteria when you access that list.

sakaguchi:

Sorry about that, many of us use small screen phones to type, it could happen to anybody, right now, it is happening to you.




Sorry about that, getting the pass mark is not a guaranty to gaining admission in competitive courses if other people score higher than you. You had many choice to make, go outside the country to better universities and read harder than before best choice
Read harder and score higher in JAMB and post UME the next year 2nd best choice
Go to polytechnics and other choices picked in UTME 3rd best choice you could have made
Go to a mushroom university in Ghana and be very proud of it brother, if you are sure you are good academically, then that was a bad choice you made.



"Shine you eyes my brother" let me make this clear for the umpteenth time, any top class university world over have basic requirements they expect from students, depending on how high one's choice of institution is and how competitive the course of study is, the requirement are very demanding with high flyers given preference. You don't just pick up a form with a mere passable result and expect to be admitted to your chosen course in universities who know their worth. JAMB is an exam, true, it is not a true test of knowledge; all exams are not true test of knowledge, but if the requirement is to ace the grades, do it. If you had ace JAMB with aplomb, you won't begrudge it this much.



A wonderful riposte have been given to you on this question, what more can I add? Thanks @Olugbenger



Sorry, I was searching for the sense in your post. If calling us to fight our government so that adequate mushroom universities be created is what you proffer, I find it senseless.
If your advice is that we should write JAMB 7 times a year, you've not started making sense. I could as well tell you to start fighting the Ghanaian government so that their schools are at least better than Nigerian schools and that until the last mushroom university is demolished, you and your fellow Ghanaian patriots will not leave the street of Tekoradi, Accra and Tema.

sakaguchi:

I really don't want to argue with you brother, but you know that many Nigerians go to Ghana because passing JAMB is not as easy as getting a Ghanaian visa or whatever it is people get before going to Ghana.
Obafemi Awolowo University and Unilag are better than all Ghanaian valid universities. And unfortunately, most Nigerians patronize mushroom universities in Ghana.
I will post the link below.

Okija_juju:


Note:: The school cannot be held responsible for the foolishness of an adult.

You heard that whilst the organizers were busy making arrangements for how the students could be safely transported across the water, some group of students decided to make alternate arrangements of their own.

henritinecy: THE REAL STORY. I'm a student of the school and also among the executives. When we got to the resort, which is Afrikiko at Akosombo, we were making arrangements with the management of the place on how to reduce the price of the facilities there. This time, some students were playing volleyball, some football, some around the pool , some table tennis and others dancing. The management said, its 20 cedis to eat, 20 cedis to swim and 10 cedis to cruise the boat. Charles, Demola, Michael, Bright and Edwards entered a fisherman's canoe to cross the river for the amount of 5 cedis each. They were almost to the other side when the both capsized. Bright is from rivers state and he can swim. Demola and Michael managed to save themselves but Charles and Edwards died. It was just impatient that killed these guys. Besides, you know you don't know how to swim, you are entering a fishermans boat that doesn't have a life jacket. The fisherman ran away but he was found about two villages away. The situation right now is that their relatives are around and are planning on how to take their bodies to Nigeria.

Okija_juju: Chai!! RIP hommies


Na so dem for report my own story too o!! Okija Juju drowns in Cape Coast beach.. #Tufiakwa..

I never go near River or Beach water since that day..


And which kind school be Knusford again kwa!!?!

Cusubaba: Nawaa ooo... all these backyard glorifield primary schools in Ghana. Which one be Knusford University College? My people said that if u want to eat toad, u eat the biggest one, so that when people called u toad eater u answer. Let those mumu Nigeria students continue wasting their parents money in a country that no one of the universities ranked among 30 in Africa University ranking. Why paying 3000 to 7000 dollars for yearly tuition fees in backyard collges in Ghana, when u can pay less in better universities in Europe, Asia even Kenya and South africa.

PetroDolla2: Knusford is a good private school near East Legon, affiliated to Legon university.

PetroDolla2: rubbish talk. how are Nigerian universities better than Ghanaian universities? the same Nigerian universities that produce graduates who can't communicate in English?https://www.nairaland.com/1474229/89-corps-members-t-communicate
the same Nigerian universities whose facilities are falling apart? https://www.nairaland.com/1465352/deplorable-state-infrastructure-nigerian-universities

the same naija that recorded 70% school drop outs? [urlhttp://www.worldstagegroup.com/worldstagenew/index.phpactive=news&newscid=11006&catid=2[/url]

I know a lady who finished from UNIJOS, currently works with NTA, who cannot communicate effectively in English fuckeduppedness


why should an individual's choice of a country to go study provoke such high levels of stvpidy? utter crap

Stop being mischievous; he referred to Top Nigerian Universities being better than the corresponding Ghanian ones. He was even patient to mentioned two, why is that hard still for you to comprehend?

Again, stop reasoning like a kid. You don't judge institutions by making silly conclusions based on the shortcomings or lapses of few of her students.

If you won't address the issues raised, stop pontificating.

Litmus: Someone, anyone please stop Nigerians from going to Ghana. I've always had a low opinion of Ghanaians but what i have seen of them on Niraland is frankly scarey. They're rude, obscene, jealous, bitter, sneaky, cowardly, backward, coonish, niggardly and worst. We already have our problems, imagine Nigerians returning from Ghana with the character and sentiments listed above?

I blame that disgusting piece of trash that opened its leg to give birth to a cockroach like you, fuelish ediot

Olugbenger:
How are you fighting it?


By getting schooled in one mushroom university in ghana too?

You can't even reason cognitively.
Between educating the masses and creation of employments, which do you think is easier and probable in this country?

Stop reasoning like a kid and desist from blaming our useless leaders for your own shortcomings too.
The problems won't go away at once.


Now i know you are ignorant of most facts. Go find out yourself.


If you did score high in both, this won't be coming from you.
Then I would have reasons to agree not when you even admitted to be not that bright.
