Outside Nigeria they are all the same. They want to make sure the school is accredited. The certificates you get in all of them are equally useless until you can prove otherwise through a standardized test. The western world cannot differentiate between UniLag and Madonna University. As a matter of fact, they don't care. None of the schools is in the top 1000 universities in the world which renders them all useless ab initio.

The general thinking is that all private universities are too expensive. The reality now seems to be that if we get down to really count the cost, some private universities are actually better in terms of both cost and quality. Lecturers in public universities are generally overlords, who do whatever they want with students. In private universities, lecturers are more humble, being limited by the university management.
Tssh pls dont say that oo. Lecturers r d same everywhere.

I beg to differ a big..outside Nigeria,nigerians schools are not looked upon the same,especially if you are going to ivy schools.that said the major reason why most schools abroad won't care which of the universities you graduate from. Is because of money....Nigerians have money to spend and most schools abroad are looking for it..who cares if you come from daura university if you can pay 15million for school fees?

The truth of the matter is that the student in UNIZIK might not have been honest with the mother. Have we forgotten how students pad these levies to get money from their parents? grin Who knows how much s/he demands for faculty, department and co levies. No matter what federal universities are way cheaper than those unknown private universities.

Paul University is definitely cheaper than UNIZIK. Paul University is also way better than UNIZIK in terms of quality.; talk of cheating in exams, sorting, female students harrasment, etc. People should not be deceiving themselves with the idea of "known universities" or "unknown universities"; employers do not assess graduates based on how well-known or not their alma mater is, they rather interview the graduates and give them aptitude test. Universities (foreign and local) also do not admit candidates into their postgraduate schools based on where they graduated from, but from various assessments. The first set of Paul University graduates finished NYSC in 2015; already several of them are doing their Masters programmes in a number of federal universities. I know a Tansian University graduate who performed excellently in GRE and TOEFEL, and is now completing her masters programme in the USA. I also know UNIZIK graduates that couldn't gain admission in USA university due to GRE and TOEFEL.
I attend unizik and I'm paying 20,100 for the whole session. School hostel is 30000. There's no way you can compare a unizik student to a Paul University student. Federal school makes you exposed

Few private are actually more affordable, it's just the straight 4/5 years that gives advantage, and no disturbance of cult activities.

This is the worst lie I have ever heard in nairaland! No UNIZIK/UNN or any Federal Univ student pays more than 50k per year even with departmental levy, faculty dues, SUG (Which is included in the school fees) etc. ST Paul pays 300k! How is that cheaper? Stop deluding yourself; if you are in a private UNI, move along with your life, nobody say make you no pass JAMB.

Mehn, who ever did this comparism should go back and learn more, sorry so say.

I attend Unilorin and my fee here is N25, 750, hostel is N28, 000, OffK rent is from 30,000-210,000 depending on your choice.

Take example, i spend 100,000 for Off-K rent and 26000 for school fee, dats less than 150,000 and again transportation fare is 100 daily whether economy hard or not, it doesn't change except during scarcity of fuel of which students revolt against any change. 21,000 is for transportation per session using 7 days of the week as school days. Now dats still less than 150,000. Yet plus feeding, i don't think spending will be up to 250,000.

Dats for Off-K.

Imagine being in school, guy, u wil send less than 150,000 for a session.

if u ask me this write up is pointless. I think u are looking for somewhere to channel your confusion. The yardstick for this comparison is not credible. my advice for u is when ever you want to create such scene base ur argument on accurate fact and stop being bias. Moreover ur choice of discussion is not relevant because they are better things to talk about rather than this.

My opinion is this:
There is no basis for this conclusion because the premise on which it was made is not statistically correct. You are picking one university (Paul University) from a population of other private universities and also picking one student of the university out of many other students of the school; how are we sure that your selection is not biased. You also considered one student whose expenses may not be a worthy representation of the expenses of an average federal university student in Nigeria, to arrive at your conclusion.

The truth is that your sample is not a good representation of the population: "Private universities in this case".

On the average every private university student pay not less than 200,000 as fee (Not forgetting that some schools like AUN, Babcock medical school, etc. charge in six digits!!);
and on the average, I can conclusively say that federal schools cost less than a hundred thousand for tuition, don't bring in cost of things like Accomodation, electricity, etc. because there is no basis for such comparison. In federal schools it's not compulsory that you stay in the school hostels, you choose your choice of accommodation and amenities according to whatever you can afford unlike in private schools that you are automatically billed for whatever they provide, which may not be your taste or may not even be worth the price, and you've got no choice!!

Also, can you conclusively say that the federal school student you cited for example in this post is not living above his means and incurring unnecessary costs for luxuries??

Until you can answer these, you have no point.
