Ok Ok. I am sick and tired of people lumping all private Universities as advanced secondary schools. Just because you are used to hearing "Covenant University" "Babcock" "RUN" etc. Does not mean that all private schools are modeled like that.
Your IQ should be able to figure out those are Christian Universities and that is why they are run like secondary schools. Their respective churches have sensitive reputations to protect at all cost. There are 1001 reasons why private Universities are cool and encouraged in the present situation of education in Nigeria today.

By the grace of God I attended IUO. When I first came in, do you believe male students could actually sleep in female hostels? Talk less of females sleeping in male hostels! It was only after we started hearing of rape incidents that they cut short the visiting hours of male students. But females could sleep in boys hostel for all they cared! It isn't supposed to be allowed, but it's one of those laws people break openly.

Students come in and go as they wish, gates are open till 11pm, even at that, students still hang out at relaxation spots around Okada town till the wee hours. So far you come in quietly and hail the security guards, you are good to go. You can travel anytime from Monday-Sunday without telling anybody anything. But I hear you have to inform your hall warden now, not for permission but for record sake. Most IUO runs babes spend their weekends in Benin and Warri.
As at when I left, students started standing up to the authorities to fight against harsh policies. We'd riot and block all roads at the slightest provocation.

If you like go for lectures, if you like don't. Na your papa money you dey waste.
Students cook and fend for themselves.
Dress anyhow you like during the day, so far you are not naked. During the night, if you like wear G-string to hang out with your bf. Na you sabi.

So many shows were organized on campus and I still remember how Paul of P Square, singled me out of the screaming crowd in the girls hostel where they came for awareness and invited me to their guest house during one of the times they visited our school. I went with 2 other friends and we chop small money without allowing them chop our kpekus o! (well, I'm speaking for myself sha) Kai! If I shine eye wella that time maybe na me him for marry lol! (I love Anita Isama Okoye)

There are many, many, churches/fellowships/Muslim fellowships on and around campus and nobody is going to tell you when to wake up and go to church. If you like go and worship your maker, if you like stay back and watch film in your hostel, if you like play music and twerk like Miley Cyrus na you sabi.

Going to a Private Uni will give you the opportunity to connect yourself to people who could be of help to you after graduation. You could use the connections of a politician, top bank/oil company oga's son/daughter.

You will find and be forced to live with all kinds of Characters in a secular private school. The psychos, the gangstas, the weed-addicts (you must not be caught smoking weed though) the geeks, the inventors, the spoiled brats, the ashawos, the spirit-filled, speaking-in-tongues Christians, the evangelists, the Alfas and Mosque heads(what do you guys call them?) the lover boys, the play boys, the entrepreneurs, and the neutrals. Though you cannot go overboard with excesses if you are reported to the authorities.

Private universities also have a significantly higher amount of extra-curricular activities and programs for students to participate in. This is very important for all round mental and academic growth.

As a guy, you never land if you don't have a sleek, pimped-up car. I fondly remember one Ojay guy who pimped his 190 benz so much, it looked like a scene from MTV's "pim.p my ride" I wish I could post a pic of it here. Now girls are seriously competing with them. IUO boasts of an enviable collection of rides and sophisticated gadgets like phones, etc.

Students are exposed to various student bodies and groups such as Arewa students forum, Igbo students forum, etc. These groups, well backed by highly placed Nigerians from their regions, usually had enough educative, informative, and entertaining packages for it's members and well-wishers.

Lecturers have one-on-one relationship with students. This is usually heightened depending on the student's last name though. But struggling students can always go to a lecturer for help with anything, you may need to buy recharge cards for the lecturers but no heavy demands or pressure are placed on students. If you wan dash lecturer kpekus na your palava, if you wan build house for lecturer na your business, but lecturers do not force it on students.

Being born an aje pako who went to a public secondary school, my English and swag was nothing to write home about. But going to a private Uni help me a lot as I was determined to make good use of every penny of the over 2.5 million I spent during my stay in that school.

No strikes, no cultism, what you put in is what you get instanta!

There are still many other advantages I haven't listed. I hope we have been well educated so far.

Cherers!

Definitely.

But this particular thread was thought of to educate people on the word "Private University" to make them see that it goes beyond the Christian aspect. Not all private schools are run like Christian schools which is the main beef people have with private universities. The thread throws more light (in a humorous way) on what private universities are all about.
