Which do you prefer? For University here or there?

Depend on how u look at it, financial wise Nigeria will be the best.but for decent and fair educational system then stay away from Nigeria, i can go on and on, but let me not bore u

Study Abroad ooo! This is what you should know already. Men, this blood sucking nigeria does limit ones educational plan. I no fit shout jare

stay in Nigeria cos the quality of education is good, no strikes, no need to bribe your way to pass, no cultism and violence, its paradise studying in Nigeria

I prefer bread and stew anyday!

If everyone goes abroad, who will lecturers sell handouts too? Abi you are not concerned for their welfare

Abeg consider others

I always wondered what people who studied in nigeria and abroad felt about studying in both places. . . . . When I have all my children. . . . . I would prefer them to prolly study primary school level abroad (as they would still be young), however, I've though I would want to send them at secondary age to a very well respected, private school (top notch) in nigeria basically because I feel the discipline side of things would be better. . . . . I dunno. . .someone school me on this issue please. . . .

Ride in a Mercedes-Benz or ride on Okada? Study under constant light or read with candle or lantern aka atupa? Abeg make I dey go.

I don't blame anyone who wants to study "abroad'. I did it too. Was supposed to spend 6 years in Architecture school (Bachelors + Masters) but bailed after my B.Sc because of the countless strikes and the end was nowhere in sight. Things you need to consider b4 studying "abroad".

1 .You need to define "abroad"!!!,  Once you cross naija border, is it classified as "abroad"? If so, you are on your own.


2.  I can tell you for free that there are some schools in the US and UK that are not worth going to as per the quality of education. A lot of people go there cos they take any Tom, D*** and Harry. If you can find your way there (getting a visa), and you have money to pay the fees, you're all set. All they want is your money. At least you can have an "abroad" certificate abi?

DISCLAIMER NOTE: Please bear in mind that some companies are aware that people just go to anyhow schools just to get that "abroad" certificate so if you go to the University of the "boondocks". Chances are it's not going to win you any special favours.


3.  Unless you really want to, or are trying to escape the ongoing ASUU strikes, Studying some courses "abroad" don't really make a lot of difference. If you are in the Technical/Technological and Medical field, yes, there's a HUGE advantage.


Finally, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't for once think that studying "abroad" gives you a free pass to a job in Naija. If you plan on returning to Naija. Get a little experience before coming back to strengthen your skill set and give yourself an advantage or else you are no different than the average Naija graduate. I can tell you again FOR FREE that I know some people who studied "abroad" and are still without work.

It's all down to choice and opportunity. Like someone mentioned, studying overseas doesn't give you an advantage in the Nigerian labour market, and it's a heck of a lot of money to bet on if you've got options here in Nigeria.

i prefer abroad in some aspect and naija in another, depends on the way u want to view it

abroad do you mean: Somalia, Pakistan, Afghannistan, India, Sudan

where exactly is abroad ?

Someday someone will come on NL and ask
Papa and pikin which one senior?
trust NL the person will also find the answer.

Depends on circumstances

If i'm married, have kids, they will not do their primary or secondary education here in the UK, they have to do it in a good school in Nigeria, when they are abt 20 yrs of age or more they can come over here for their University education.
Bring up kids here is hard, the society is not helping it even. I feel for some responsible parents here.

@poster, which do you prefer- Malaria or AIDS?

Seun!! Comot this thread o!

I think it's the family system rather than the UK society.

I think both contributed, even the govt policies as well

I guess all these countries have better educational systems than nigeria.

Studying overseas is good. Nigeria is also another good place to study. Is just that the only big difference b/w 9ja and other country is bribery and corruption which have crave up to the hearts of many nigerian peeps. That's why u can hardly hav a sound education here in nigeria. It's only the rich that have better opportunities than the less privilege ones. As for me, I think studying abroad is better.
