I dey state university oo and my mum has spent almost 600K on me at 200L. Private universities are overrated.

Private uni graduates are even more unemployed than the ones in public universities. If u ask me, I think that's cruel!!!

Where United Secondary school and Zamani?They should be on the List with their Counterpart,,,

adeola_drg: I dey state university oo and my mum has spent almost 600K on me at 200L. Private universities are overrated.

Are you this dumb?

From 100level to this present 400level I paid a total of 105k I.e 35k in 100level and 25k in subsequent sessions. I guess that's equivalent to a student's feeding allowance per semester in these private varieties( Am sure of this because I worked in one of them before gaining admission and I know How these kids spend )
Anyway I think the huge fees are great price to pay for not having interruption in their academic work due to incessant strike. By the way if my parents have such amount of money to spare for my education I will proly study outside this country
