It might interest every interested person to know that the university education in
Nigeria is in a fascinating state. Nigeria as a
case study; Nigeria which is the most populous black nation in the world and currently the largest economy in Africa, in my view; wouldn't have achieved this feet if there
wasn't education in the
country. The question is, how effective is it? The university is an
encyclopaedia of
knowledge; comprising persons of various kinds, acquainting various and differ kind of knowledge(s). So, what is the true state of Nigerian universities?
Are they fulfilling this
objective? Lets observe! Perhaps, Nigerian universities are making progress, but not without falls. There are a lot of challenges facing these academic institutions today; the first and most obvious, is the inceasant
academic staff union(ASUU) strike; this frequently interrupts smooth learning. On the other hand, structures are dilapidated, students don't learn in conducive evironment anymore. Moving also to the issue of cultism; these so called
cultists harrass innocent students, thereby constituting psychological fear and consequent insecurity on them, and this could reduce the students' learning zeal. More so, campus prostitution is now a trend among the female students; they are now more concentrated in
prostitution than
academics; I know you
know they can't excel
academically. However, the university education in Nigeria has made
progress. Some ever zealous students,
irrespective of the harsh conditions exposed to, still strive to excel beyond
their equals. The
classrooms and lecture halls are usually filled up at nights, by enthusiastic students,
who are determined and bent on making a
difference. They excel,
not just locally, but
internationally. Thank
you!

You guys should contribute to this matter, this is education, it is our future, and should be taken seriously.... Thanks.

You raised very important issues, and if they are addressed properly our citadels of learing will not just produce graduates, but competent ones.
We must not wait for government to do everything, the change has to start somewhere

I believe that Nigeria will get there someday
>>---Cheers.........

@Macdanny247... This what people don't know, they won't even comment, because it is not about "Tonto Dikeh" or so. And I believe this is also a problem emanating from our educational system. Alot of students are too in a hurry to reason well, even on nairaland, you here them shout "too long post", they lack the intellectual capacity to construct tenses, and engage in healthy arguments that helps to enhance their mentality, they rather engage their time in gossiping celebs et al. On the part of students, some of them are lazy and can't think beyond the box. Some lecturers also constitute to this sometimes; they request students to give them exactly what they taught them et al.....

Nairalanders don't comment on something good... Ok, its not about celebs btw, no wonder. And even when I scream to seun and mynd44, they don't hear me.
