OduntanGabriel: This is a counter thread to what was written by a fellow nairalander.

Here are the 6 reasons why I attending a private university is good for you.



3)CONNECTION: No matter how rich a man is,if he doesn't have connection,he's useless. Private universities creates an avenue for you to meet the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful men in our societies. The Dangotes and otedolas have their sons ,daughters, nephew etc in this so called private universities and this can easily elevate you. Being a scholar does not guarantee you an employment opportunity in our society except you are connected. Isn't it a good thing to be dinning and winning with the crème de la crème of society? Answer me

5) STRIKE ACTION: OMG, why would a 4years course becomes 6years without any extra years or carry over? Strike has been one of the main problem facing the education system in nigeria. Some people entered the university @ the age of 25 with the hope of finishing a 4 years course but due to strike actions the finished at the age of 31 and couldn't go for their youth service because they are above 30years. In a private university, you know when you are graduating except the student failed some courses which lead to extra years.


I can only MANAGE with these two........OTHERS ARE TOTAL CRAP!

selfmadeOLX: Private Uni
Class ; Ali is a boy
Exams ; Ali is a _ _ _? undecided na Boy na

Public Uni I hail thee grin
Class ; Ali is a boy (go and make your research)
Exams ; If Ali had a twin, how many fingers all together do they have?
And the public uni students be like shocked
And still come out in flying colours after series of brain cracking!

My point is
. A Private 1st class student is = to a 2.2 Public student when it comes to Trashing it out raw
. Private uni are in for the popularity contest while public uni is in for the real deal

Ces't fini

2)COST: Yea, I know you do be surprised I said cost. Private universities are expensive, you don't expect education to be cheap. The are expensive because they give you value for money. I leave you with the slogan which says if education is expensive try ignorance.

3)CONNECTION: No matter how rich a man is,if he doesn't have connection,he's useless. Private universities creates an avenue for you to meet the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful men in our societies. The Dangotes and otedolas have their sons ,daughters, nephew etc in this so called private universities and this can easily elevate you. Being a scholar does not guarantee you an employment opportunity in our society except you are connected. Isn't it a good thing to be dinning and winning with the crème de la crème of society? Answer me

You went to a private university and your English is this poor? Shame on you.
Number 2 point, what do you mean by 'yeah, I know you do be surprised'?
And in point number 3, ' is that how you spell 'wining' and 'dining'? Haba repeat your 500 level jor!

Public Uni's in this country are as dead as can be..
No doubt they produced the great leaders we have today, but you can't reasonably compare the quality of education they gave back then to what is given out today.
The qualities this Uni's possesed have dropped drastically due to low funding and other factors..

Public Uni students are just living in the past glory these schools had.


A very simple Analogy for You to understand......

The Nigerian Education Sector is like the English Premier League...(Boasting of (Teams like Chelsea, Arsenal e.t.c)

The Public Universities are like Liverpool.
This team was a force to reckon with back then....I think they boast of about 19 league titles...Over the years the club management has reduced its spending which results to why the Club is flooded with just a bunch of average players( Even though they get the job done at times). This changes have drastically reduced the quality performance the club used to have. Notwithstanding , they still remain a force to reckon with.

Now what team do we liken Private Uni's to??






Your guess is as good as mine.....

Manchester city.
Why??......They are the money bags!...

They came upon sudden fortune....and they gradually Overhauled their formerly average squad.
Today they show-case One of the best, if not the best squad in the league.
And yes!.. they get the results, even more often than Liverpool.... Why?...Cause they posses every facility and quality needed to win the league...And yet this quality keeps increasing.

But them neva get titles reach liverpool sha.

Apologies to Liverpool fans...No puns intended

Re: 6 Reasons Not To Attend A Public University by agedmanng: 10:55am On Sep 10, 2014
Hmmmmm! After reading comments from all e-friends. I can only imagine, if 'he' the OP was given birth to by a father who couldn't afford him a private University education what would he have done? And if you who is rooting for public Universities were to be the son/daughter of a millionaire that can afford a private University would you have chosen a public University?

All I see here are biased comments. People pour out their minds based on their situations. In US, Europe the rich send their children to private Universities and the Ivy leagues. The children of the not-well-to-do financially are mostly found in the public schools. It's the norm all over the world. Who says you are better of because you attended either of the arorementioned. Why not accept your fate? Be proud of who you are today with or without the institution attended and let there be #peace in our land.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread and the other expose the stupidity and ineptitude nature of our youths wasting time on trivia issues. How I wish common sense is still common.

Pure trash... no private school has ever qualified for the zain Africa challenge. where all schools in Africa compete, UI n another public school have won the competition. Past glory indeed.. we all know private schools are places where rich peeps dump their autistic and mentally challenged wards.

Discipline is a personal thing. It starts from home. The university can do little or nothing about it. I'm just saying the @op's argument that Private unis instill discipline in students doesn't hold water. If not why will most CU students want to kill demselves with parties and alcohol during their holiday? That says a lot!

Alright sir,
But isn't it this same "mentally challenged and autistic wards" that sweep the federal government scholarship for first class grads...

Get your facts right!

Tell me,....Hopefully 10-15 years from now Yu'll prolly be rich ...Would you let your children go through the pains you suffered in your public schools??...




I personally believe that schools like UI and OAU have got good brains.....Apart from this two ehn....the rest na story.

Kindly erase that mentality of rich people dump their wards in Priv unis...Not all Priv Uni students have rich parents. And surely every Public Uni also has its own "mentally challenged and autistic" students.


Any school that doesn't qualify for Zain africa challenge is trash shey?? Ok sir. Priv Unis are trash.
Satisfied?

flolancracker: And most students in public universities are the ones who cheated their way through.

At the end of their Bsc degrees, the private graduate turns out to be the better graduate. Not hating on public universities, I'm simply paying you back in your own coins, because you generalised first.

In my opinion, you can pursue an education or certificate wherever you can afford (public, private, overseas etc).

I most say OP this post of your's is heavily laden with fallacy. You proved that you are a first hand product of the substandard private university education. I tell you, you bring a guy who read pol-sci from O.A.U and another guy who read pol-sci from Covenant university I guarantee you that the difference between the O.A.U graduate of pol-sci will far surpass that of Covenant university.
