Origin:
Nigerians are the ones making a mockery of themselves and that is why our certificates may be alleged to be losing value. The best of the best are Nigerians. We go abroad we take all the first Class.

The only difference is in the teaching methods and facilities.

We are Nigeria, we defeated ebola and still sent our doctors to Liberia to help stop the Outbreak. The UK and US no fit boast that levels.

Good morning Ade.

I thought i had found my missing ribs, but apparently some other hunger hawks had checked you out before me, and confirmed you are married, and i had to confirm from your IG Page too.

Your husband is lucky.

I am taking my love somewhere else. Do you by chance have a single sister? thank you so much.

ArcFresky:
So everybody should leave Nigeria and go and school in UK....
No maa.

Tokziby:
Let the truth be said, its not about the certificate, its about the mode and quality of teaching. If u have not been there, u definitely cannot understand their point of view. Our Lecturers and teachers have failed us because they only sit in a class and use the same teaching materials for several years without updating their syllabus. They have failed to realize that world keeps evolving everyday and things become obsolete if u dont move with it. They still use textbooks (especially science and technology) that are published 20-30 years ago without upgrading. i am pretty sure some lecturers still go about teaching FOTRAN and COBOL or history of computers when they should be teaching Java, SQL, d-base, A+, Networking etc. I became so disheartened when i saw graduate engineers enrolling for vocational courses related their their course, when all u needed in life ought to have been taught in the University. The only professional courses (practicable courses) available in Nigeria are just 3, accounting, law and medicine every other course aside these in the Uni are in a "one chance bus" cos what they teach is abstract (theories) that are not practicable when u graduate. In case u are reading this and u are in the Uni, whatever ur course is that is not related to the above 3, kindly start learning a trade now or vocational course in order not to add to the over-saturated labour market.

Debaddest:
Summary : Nigerian certificate loose value cos our Presido is an Illiterate (dullardino).

Pure lies to gain more patronage. Our schools teaches us great sense n thats why we can outsmart them, we are the best all over the world be it science, accademic even crime

Chukwuka16:
At the risk of sounding biased let me state that I have been educated both here in Nigeria's best university - UI and of course a top ranking world/UK university. From my experience, studying in the UK offers you a PLATFORM. How you utilize it is entirely left to your creativity. Aside the PLATFORM, the lectures are still boring (though updated), some lecturers are still awful and mean (I think depression affects them a lot) and of course racism does still exist - Shocking doesn't even describe it. You will also be surprised to know that the English lecturers do not really care about your welfare/interests, they are more interested in rankings and nice feedbacks.
However, you cannot disagree on the following fallout of the PLATFORM:
• Mobility: Visa application to countries is always easy most especially when you are funded or going for conferences to present a technical paper. This is mostly helpful since the application process in UK is usually stress free and most times successful whenever the application is packaged well.
• Reflection: You stand the chance of looking at Nigeria from an outside-in perspective which allows you assess critically your place in the country. This period of sober reflection is most needed as it determines if you will return to Nigeria idle or engaged. Please note that engagement need not be employment, it might be a business idea which you have thoroughly researched or further studies etc.
• E-advantage: the e-advantage here is tailored towards economy. With the hype surrounding FOREX and the difficulty in accessing it, schooling in the UK offers one the opportunity of having accounts in fantastic banks – Barclays, NatWest, Lloyds etc. This becomes helpful when foreign transactions are to be made and your Nigeria domiciled cards become ‘useless’. I remember how easy it was swiping my debit card at POS terminals in Chicago, Atlanta, Montreal, France, Antwerp and Amsterdam with ease. All I had to know then was that £ was more powerful than euro, $ and CDN$. I might be more careful now considering how £ has taken some serious bashing.
• Exposure: My first time flying (local or international) was to go study in the UK. The thrill of going through the check-in process, boarding, taking my connecting flight, accessing my luggage, meeting new people from varied cultures etc. was just exciting. Moving through the streets of London and other popular world cities was something memorable considering my humble background and the near impossibility of ever having this experience. Furthermore, I had the privilege of working with Chinese and Arabs and Asians on projects. I was able to learn their strengths and weaknesses and relate with their varied backgrounds.
• Mind-set: one thing that has obviously changed in me is how I now reason. I’m no longer quick to judge, I’m now more inclined to listen to people, I can now appreciate someone else’s view and further agree that the solution put forward by someone else supersedes mine. It doesn’t mean that I have now jettisoned my Christian values, No! I now appreciate being a Christian. Furthermore, I now believe that anything is possible (American dream!)
• Contacts: You will be shocked to know that our leaders no mean well for us. You will be shocked to know that every ‘big man’ is keen on seeing his child get some quality education outside Nigeria. You discover classmates whose parents are senators, ministers (serving and past), diplomats etc. No be joke o, one of them could link you to their parents and the rest as they say becomes history.
• Jobs: You will be shocked to know that many Nigerian companies come to London yearly to recruit Nigerians to come work in Nigeria. What an irony. Many of my colleagues have/would be resuming in some cool places soonest. Furthermore, there is usually some disparity in earnings between their pay and their Nigerian colleagues just because they are regarded in some way as ‘expatriates’.
I could go on and on but then the whole idea is not to rubbish the educational system in Nigeria. No! Some of my best research experiences were from Nigeria. In fact, my best papers to date were written at UI. I have also carefully excluded from the list electricity and internet as some form of advantage. When I consider what the average Nigerian youth spends on data subscription and what it is used for then I weep. Furthermore, electricity is not an excuse because even its availability has not produced any tangible output from us.
One might argue on the access to scholarly articles and e-journals. I experimented and discovered that sites exist that make these things available for free. researchgate, academia.edu etc. are some free platforms existing but are not being utilized by the majority here in Nigeria.
Nigeria still has a long way to go but then as most people have rightly posited, certificate is not what matters – it is very important but then how skillful are we in turning all the training into viable income generating sources?

If our president can leave Nigeria for the UK to get treatment why should ordinary citizens not go there for education?
Buhari banned government officials from going abroad for treatment.
He budgeted more for Aso Rock clinic than all teaching hospitals combined.
Yet he claims to be fighting corruption.
Which sensible Nigerian would believe such rubbish, hypocritical lies?
