WoodcrestMayor: Really?!I hear Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊. Only thing I like bout CU is the system of education. After that, I don't see anything luring me †̥Φ a private uni. Not even the absence of cultism and safety of students. Coz in the REAL world, Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊'re exposed †̥Φ all forms of dangers Meaning: Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ are only protected from REAL world dangers for 4 or 5 years. After that, Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ are gonna learn how †̥Φ survive it on your own,,,,, which by the way public uni guys have learnt in 100 level with other freshers |

I've gone through all the post and I can say that public university student/graduates are victims of inferiority complex. I am surprised reading someone's post that private university student are not recognized by companies. Which company? Is it shell? Cheveron? Or banks? That is actually baseless. If u ave not gone to a private university before, u ave no right to castigate the graduates or student. As to par "jamb rejection", some people are so mentally derailed and are ignorant saying private unis have rejected student from public university. Have u ever come across a loyola jesuit student? Most of them attend private uni home or abroad. Some even took their ignorance to higher level by saying private university is not recognized outside nigeria. U must be kidding. I am sure that fellow ave not seen a private uni graduate. Babcock for example is affiliated to many institution outside nigeria and their students can cross to those institution. The one that made me laugh is Davido in OOU! No, davido is not in OOU but yabatech. Dwelling in rumours to bring your point will only make you a "retard". About social life, even federal some federal schools have not achieved what Babcock university have achieved. How many public university have D'banj and co sang(spare me Unilag, Uniben, OAU). Saying there is no social life in public university means u don't understand the term "social". Bottomline: Pray to be rich so that u will be free from ignorance. Btw, repping FUTA a public university. 3 Likes |

I graduated in the years when there were no Private Universities....and tell you what? Debates back then was Federal Universities better than State Universities . When I saw this thread, I laughed. I attended a State owned University and I am very proud of the school and of all the drilling.Looking back and interacting with private university graduates now, I see that all schools have their adv. and disv. due to the way our country Nigeria is. I will encourage you guys from the public schools to better sit up and work harder. A first class is a first class (at least in Nigeria) irrespective of which school it is coming from. And what you all don't realize is that the rich parents who could send their kids to a private schools will secure a good job for them(if you are very observant you will know) infact the trend now is from those private schools straight to obtaining a foreign masters from UK. Seriously, I don't get to see a lot of private school kids roaming the street o. Stop all these baseless comparisons (that had been before some of you were born) work hard wherever you find yourself because with the way Nigeria is schemed, you in the public universities will eventually have to fight harder to get through as your private school counterparts have rich and well connected parents (stop deceiving yourself) I quite agree that some of them may be immature but not all who attended a public school comes out mature too. Permit me to also stress that it's not the university you attend that should make you (in a country where all things are equal) but what you make of yourself. So guys sit tight and work hard where you are,your hating the private school students will not add anything to you. Just face your life and so your own. I could count several federal university graduate who are dumb and are not making any serious progress in their lives apart from maybe getting married (people in their mid forties and early fifties) who back in the days chaired federal vs state university debates.I could count people who attended even a polytechnic back in the days, who are refined professionals and are doing wonderfully well. Sebi it is just public/private universities debate....you have not considered University vs Polytechnic..........all such debates and arguments are old(with experience) and baseless. so in conclusion, go to whichever school that admits you( if your parents are rich enough, go to a private school) but wherever you find yourself, put in your very best and come out proud and shining. You will all succeed. (sorry for the long epistle) 2 Likes |

WoodcrestMayor: Itz funny hw you pple talk abt exposure and real world.No be real world e dey b4 e go uni?Or does d 4 yrs spent in cU mean he wont fit in anymore?M sorry but livin in the REAL world isn't living under your parents. I pity Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ if Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ think secondary school life makes Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ smart about the world. Besides, I neva sed private uni guys don't fit in. U said that yourself. Lastly, its a FACT. Private uni guys are liable †̥Φ be duped than public uni guys. In a private university, Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ guys are exposed †̥Φ mostly{perharps only} rich kids. Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊ associate with people who don't try †̥Φ scam Ɣơ̴͡u̶̲̥̅̊, People who already have what they need provided by their parents and under strict supervision of the school. But we in public universities are exposed †̥Φ all shades. Rich and humble, rich and proud, poor, average, crooks, frat men, yahoo yahoo guys etc. Am not hating on private uni guys. All m saying is what I know is the truth. Its J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ my 2 cents mahn P.S I also have real niggaz as hebronites |

dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when Rants and raves of someone who could not afford to go to a private university. That thousands of students are cramped in a tiny lecture hall and that they have to suffer to see lecturers and achieve stuff isnt hard work. It is suffering and evidences the rundown state of Nigerian tetiaty education. Go and ask your dad how his university days were if he went to one. He will tell you things that make you realise that in the glory days of Nigeria, what university students had far surpassed what is obtainable in the best private universities today. My dad was alone in his room in U.I. They had jacuzzis and all that. When he went to his room 40 years later to satisfy his curiousity there were 7 squatters in the room. Fun is relative. You can create your own fun. Smoking igbo on campus isnt ideal fun. I work in the HR of one of the biggest companies in Nigeria today. The bias we had against private university students has changed. Infact now we want more of them. They are more employable than the public uni graduates. Although when you see students from public unis that were serious in school and had good pry and sec education coupled with good homes they are at par and in some cases exceptional. Infact we had to limit the number of slots granted to private uni students because if we didnt then they would occupy 80% of the slots. Finally exposure isnt gotten wholly from university. Uni adds to it and is the practical phase of the exposure you have gathered during the course of growth and development. So when you want to confirm the chunk of someone's exposure, go to the home he comes from, the pry school he went, secondary school, status of the parents/professions (this doesnt mean the parents have to be rich), church, environment they live(d), travel experience (not necessarily always abroad, even within the country) and culture of the person. Children that you shield from day one regardless of your status will hardly be exposed. Kapish? |

oleary: Somehow true. Being in public university has given me lots of opportunities. Aporoaching 200L at 20 i bought my first multimedia equipment valued at almost 200k after hustling during carnival calabar. Approaching my final year now, i know 80% of what life is. Trust me...you don't know jack about life! Infact...the faster you realise that you dont know much, that day I know you have begun to know alot about life. |

lilprinze: I noticed that most of the students who attend private universities are people who were denied or not given admission into public university or people who did not have a very good result so they have or had no choice other than to go to private Universities half bread is better than none. You that went to a public university...see your use of tenses...smh |

CityNG: As an employer, first draw candidates are from institutions existing before 1980. As an emplyer who is running a business that is not inclined to I.T, sociala media, strategy and innovation, draw your candidates from institutions that existed before 1980. If you are forward looking and are running a savvy business then you wouldnt listen to this crap. |

mentorandfriend: Even for secondary school, I still prefer a public school to a private school; i'm talking of Federal Government Colleges. I went to one. All my children will go to an FGC. In my days, I curiously discovered that every year when I qualify for National competitions from my state, it is usually FGCs that also qualify from their states to meet us at the National grande finalle, despite all the private schools making noise up and down town, with their exhorbitant school fees on top.

bamac: Its private universities that v made 1st class to b meaningless.... Rubbish..... Even som1 wt ordinary pass in government universities wl graduate with 2nd class upper in private universities.. Guy let's be logical here. If private university students have more restrictions and are more in schools equipped with better facilities with no strike activities by staff of the schools, more students will make 1st classes na. Its just that simple. In public universities where lecturers are gods that you do not have access to easily and are hardly around in any case because they are striking and where there are dilapidating facilities....less people will make first class. Simple |

Acidosis: There are some parents who wouldn't send their wards to OAU or UI even if their wards score 399 in JAMB. Not everyone love a rough life amidst cultists, uncultured elements, congestion, stress, struggles, reading with candle sticks, queueing for water, harrasment, intimidation, etc. Imagine o. These are the stupid things people say to justify their attending public schools. Do you have to suffer to show you went to university? |
