If you've known the meaning of University in Igbo, you wouldn't have said so

It's is called MAHADUM = MARA HA DUM (learn/know them all)

In life you're supposed to know both the good and bad... And then make your choice

nawahoo: Your points are so unfounded and is bereft of logical reasoning. You have a poverty mentality. Why don't you send your wards or encourage your family members to send their wards to public primary and secondary schools so that they can be "exposed" to life and have a first hand experience in "struggling"

Na inferiority complex dey worry you. You need to go back to schoool or stay back in school to develop some logical reasoning. Ode!

hey shut up there joor. What's wrong about the OP's comment? I'm sure ur one of those private university students or maybe you graduated from one because its apparent in ur reply. Sentiments apart, public universities are way better than private universities and they have an upper hand in the labour market. Just imagine the total number of first class students a private univeRsity can produce alone in one academic year. They can be up to hundreds and majority of them will struggle to make that same first class in a public university. The OP didn't create this thread for shallow minded people. If you can't reason the truth well, hells gate is opened solely for you. Ur free to go to hell.

Why do u go to university? U attend a tertiary institution mainly to be employed or to employ others. Private university graduate are better off in this aspect. U might find the searching for jobs but they are few compared to public uni. If u get money and u no wan go private, pass me the money may I help u spend am. #irepFUTA

It is only Christian Universities that have such strict laws.

Secular private schools have all the freedom of public schools. Only difference is that cultism, harassment from lecturers and other vices are at the barest minimum in private schools.

Op you are very correct. Private university is like advanced secondary school. Most of them always wish, they attend a public university because of the monotonous life they live there. Schools where lecturers beg students to learn and where they monitor you if you are still reading or have slept.
Private university life is so boring i must confess because some secondary schools are even more social and fun-filled than them. for me it is for those that were not opportune to gain admission in public...

But to be sincere, most private university students/graduates are just utterly stupid,
Sorry to say that.
And they know they are..........acdemically stupid,physically stupid,brain stupidity and lastly socially stupid.
Infact they are just 'dumb'..........i don't know why the nigerian government/ministry of education allowed private ownership of universities in the country.
For shit's sake the private universities produces mostly dumb niggaz and its painful......Government should as a matter of urgency revoke/abolish the law that provides for the private ownership of universities in nigeria.........
Private universities= Home of dumbness!

dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when
making a choice of institution.

I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to
lecturers… Well, that’s about all.

Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the
freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the
hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed.

They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates.
So here’s my case for choosing a public university.

1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence:

Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to
be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their campuses
and under certain rules more suited for teenagers than young adults. The laws in public
universities are not imposed on the students; they are just the basic principles a normal student
is meant to follow. It’s funny when I see pictures of private university students being punished or
hear of certain rules like compulsory attendance of chapel, feeding time tables, dress codes,
e.t.c​.​ It is absurd; these are adults​!​

2. Cost of education:

It is a lot cheaper to attend public university than a private one and this is not limited to school
fees. Cost of living on public universities is also cheaper. Students cook their own meals and hav​
e access to shops on campus and in town where prices of goods and services are competitive.
On the other hand, the cost of living on a private university secluded campus for one semester is
enough to build a house.

3. Public university g​ives “exposure” to students:

It’s more than obvious that public university students are ”​sharper​”​ than private university
students. Private university students who are often referred to as “JJC” or “Learners” by public
university students, live what I term “the microwave life” which is the easy life.
In federal universities you get to meet all sorts: from cultists to Aristo chicks, people with
different personalities. It makes one exposed to what life really is. One is exposed to the hustle
and learns how to struggle for things. There are still brats in federal universities but most of
them get to grow up when exposed to the hustle.

4. Life on and off campus is FUN:

There are so many parties to attend, clubs and events. One gets to meet real people, one also
learns to be real. There is a lot of gist and gossip, lot of things to laugh at. Rather than chapel,
it’s clubbing. Dating is even fun in federal schools. Couples express love without fear as adults.
One gets to see students that are rich and poor mingling as equals; students who express
themselves through their dressing and not relegated to some uniform.

5. Hard work is compulsory

Students in public universities have work​ed​ through exceptional odds to succeed; challenges that
help one not take life for granted. Imagine a department of over a thousand students with a very
small lecture hall or a lecturer who spends only twenty minutes in a class where he is meant to
spend two hours, or one who only gives handouts. Faced with issues like these, students work
extra hard to come out with well-deserved results.

6. Public universities produce more mature graduates:

With all the challenges: strikes, nonchalant lecturers, freedom to express yourself as adult etc,
public universities are more equipped for life after graduation. They know that things would not
just be handed to them and are used to making decisions for themselves.

Hemanwel: OP,you mean '6 Reasons You Shouldn't Attend A Glorified Secondary School' ??

Naturally,I see people who opt for a private university as academically inferior to their public university counterparts....
After paying huge sums of money as school fees for four years (in the case of a 4-year course),the school authority cannot afford not to graduate the student even if he/she gallivanted throughout his/her stay in the institution.


Baba....we get 600L students for my school oo...

Mind yu all courses have a max of four years.
