Big shout out to all nairalanders,u guys are doing a great job

Hi guys

To the first guy, UI does not offer you MBA without some good number of years of experience. So u are left with MSC.

To the second lady, its true u need to get a job first but you can do ur MBA too. From what i learnt, most companies dont want to hire you without years of experience cos they think u are no better than a fresh grad but u would want to be paid more. So, i'll advice you to continue with your MBA and try to get a job at the same time. if u cant cope, finish your MBA but dont add it in ur CV to get a job when u finish it unless it is very necessary.

Just an advice.

Compliments

Please can anybody tell me when the MBA programme's application will commence in UI? Please I want toknow. I want to apply for it

I think I am in a very good position to offer advice. If u wanna b a career/executive person, an MBA is way better dan an MSc. D bad part is that an MBA is more difficult 2 secure admission in Nigeria. NUC in its efforts to upgrade and restructure MBA programmes in all UNI's in d county presented dis shockers: A huge number of MBA's were disaccredited/scrapped. As a result, the few MBA dat survived will increase tuition 4rm nxt session averagely u should hav 200,000 min 2 get an MBA, but now, u may hav 2 cough out at least 350,000 4 d most inexpensive MBA.
D NUC just hinted dat u'll hv 2 get 70% in the entrance examination (full or part-time) unlike 50-60% DAT OBTAINED B4.
Wn u finally get admission, there are speculations that the pass mark is no longer 40% but 50% if u dont want references, Lastly full-time MBA's may no longer b 15-18mnths but 2 yrs & part-time will no longer b 2yrs but 3 yrs.

U.I requires that u hv 5 yrs mgt experience & as at 2005 u'll hv 2 cough out 180,000/ session, Dy may ask u 2 pay more now. there r oda sch's like FUTA, FUTO, UNILAG, OOU, ABU dat just only ask 4 0-2yrs ordinary experience 4 bachelors holders and 2-5yrs ordinary experience 4 HND holders.

If any of the above constitute any form of obstacle i'll advice dat u do ur MSC. a PG degree is better than having none at all. a BAchelors has become basic education- every tom, dick and harry has it. D earlier u do it d better. Entrance is becoming more dreadful as I hav hinted above d earlier d better. My firends just paid 105,000 to obtain their MBA in Futa, I am paying 160,000 to obatain mine. It will definitely become hiher by nxt session. MSc's will soon follow suit. I remember dat an MSc in U.I, OAU and UNIJOS will cost u 9,000 in 2001/2002, now it costs a minimum of 60,000. Who knows what next.

4 MSc i will nt advise dat u go 2 u.I too. u wil use 18mnths. Why not go 2 LASU and spend just 1yr. I had my bachelors in U.I and I will round off my MBA in FUTA by May, 2007.
I hope dat i hav been helpful in any way.

. There r oda Fed Uni's dat offer d same programme

nikegenius,thanks,i really appreciate

If u want to pursue ur MBA, just come to ife. That's because OAU, UNILAg and LBS were the 3 schools World Bank approved and are currently helping to upgrade their MBA programs to world-class standards and also NUC rates those 3 skools highly as per MBA offerings.

i recommend ife again - that's because it is the cheapest of the 3 - executive program is 250K and full time is about 80K but i think after this current set, there'll be a review.

also i recommend you try and secure a job. i'm just going to do a final job test next monday and i hope to get the job but then i submitted my thesis last july and the graduation ceremony was last december meaning i've been lounging 4 about 6 months after a BSc in Chemical Engineering and an MBA!!!

Thank God i learnt how to paint and people love them and buy otherwise i 4 suffer, I was also reading tonnes of Management Gurús' books like crazy and doing some consulting for small business while hoping for a good job.

Believe me it wasn't fun the few times i wasn't doing those stuffs that kept me busy and i was still broke atimes o.

all the best and never lose faith in ur self because if u do, u have lost the one battle that will determine whether you'll win the war of life.

And whatever happens, develop ur mind by reading relevant stuffs

all the best
