Nope, the reason why they get job faster is because of connection . Most student of private universities are kids of one politician or a wealthy man that is very influential and we all know that to get almost anything reasonable in Nigeria, you have to know one big man or his wife

private schools are for the rich dudes who have failed Jamb too many time to count

. I know a batch C corp member in Osun State, a graduate of political science from BABCOCK. In the course of our discussion, I asked her if she knows Kwame Nkrumah, she said she's hearing that name for the first time. I fainted literary lol. she now started telling me that most of their lecturers are Msc holders. She was really envious of what I could offer in the same field she graduated from. Point is, most of them are empty headed.

Girl you just stole my heart...

Donpizzle:


well spoken....buh i must say that its better to be a graduate of public than a private....private skul graduates are seen by recruiters/employers as pple who were unable to pass UTME. Speakin frm a frnd's xperience.

Glorified second. School is better than glorified primary school called Fed/state unis

amokeme:
educational discrimination, tribalism, religious conflict... all in one country! infact... I just don't understand the beef with private unis.. seriously you choose to be in a fedral uni, that's fine. I choose to be in a private uni, totally my business. so what exactly is your problem OP??
"freedom is restricted" let them worry about that
"its expensive" you are not the one paying
"exposure" (really? maybe you should explain the kinda exposure you mean
"life on campus is fun" I can only laugh at this. morality is the key word. but since your definition of fun is clubbing, parties, dating, gossips (well I know you ll out grow that someday). and talking about meeting real people? hehe trust me you have no idea
"hard work is compulsory" and you think we don't work hard in private unis? well my dear, we do. the only difference is that we get to see the result of our hard work.. which makes working hard easy unlike in "some" federal schs that the hard work of a student is being frustrated..
"produce more mature graduates" maturity is an individual thing. private unis graduates are doing just fine.. you might be too hateful to see it buh it doesn't change the fact..
finally, its not the uni that matters, its what you can deliver

Too many fakes things everyone want to feel amongst!

In public you tend to know your level!!!
And maitain your self

UjSizzle:
I like that private schools are a lot more focused when it comes to building character and learning. Forget the story of public schools giving you independence and little restriction, when it comes to all-round benefit, a private school is better in producing more balanced degree holders.

They can learn the ways of the world when they're in the labour market

crixtex:

D way most of u reason ehn like puerile goats.. my youngest bro got 250 first jamb sitting and he is studying medicine at Igbinz.... na wa for u o.. wat bout guys dat sch overseas wud u say dey failed jamb?

felsunseg:
thanks for calling me names, bt tell me the truth, did that ur brother sat for any postume nd which year

davereal:


Best reply! You've said it all. But let me add this: in private uni you don't pay for 'A' rather you work for it. Private unis produce graduates in character and learning while public unis produce graduates in learning alone: that's why they can't fit into the corporate world.

sweet7oyin:
The truth is that d op has a point
1 public university students are more expose or rather sharper. in taking decisions in any type of weather(situation)....their life is always controlled
2. Private students very brilliant. But they av nt really been stretched to bring out their best unlike public students who would pay over 1 million for 2nd class lower or 3rd class for what.... Every thing. Made easy.. It not actually working hard but working well
3 about money... Its not poverty but wisdom many private students spend prodigally. Enjoy or precisely love luxury as a result of this they fall in time of scarcity. Covenant students
Private school student usually have many things to learn

amokeme:
sigh....
I don't know why pple just like taking Panadol for someone's headache! this life is verrrrrrrry simple buh we tend to make it complex. it is not your business if they have a lot to learn or if they don't know anything! so long as you are not paying anyone's fee there, you will never take your kids there and you are not there yourself. then what exactly should be your problem your number 3 point is the only one I seem to understand (kinda) and its really making me laugh here , MYB enjoy your fedral university let others enjoy theirs

Korowash:
cos so many kids are just graduating wth Childish mentalities.

Sibrah:

You mean when u sort your self through some 25% of your workload and copy-copy another 25% to scale through abi? Keep deceiving yourself. Please don't even start cos the average course that goes for 3 units in public schools weights 2 unit in average private school. The industrial report says it all.

Msquare220:
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, etc.​.​ 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. -
