His research may be verifiable, but he hasn't gone out of his way to prove the possibility of counter research that nullifies his claims.

Someone incontrovertibly mentioned on this topic the availability of academic works in those government institutions, which are not available online. The op had made no attempt to acknowledge their existence, neither has he attempted to gauge their value as a counter to his argument. This puts his research credibility in doubt.

SonOfEl:


1. Easy boy....what "points" are you referring too? OPs points? your points? Mtcheeeeew......

2. What have your CU achieved that has not being tripled or quadrupled by UI, UNN, etc.

3. Thank God you know..... What happens to CU if by any chance they suffer underfunding? At least govt can still put v their school on "life support". Harvard get most of its fundings from govt, though its a private school. I am watching the tenacity of your CUs " consistency.

BTW don't get it twisted many private unis are already fighting to be included in TETFUND. Truly, we ought to be included in TETFUND because the students in privatr unis are also Nigerians and the money for TETFUND is obtained from the PRIVATE sector hence Private unis can't be excluded. So in due season we would join the likes of Jabu and age bablola to fight for TETFUND.

1. Yes man, Referring to all the points in the so far irrefutable claims in the post. I'm the OP.

2. Of course they are great achievers and for now, they can continue living in their past glory

3. Let us wait until them. No need to make argument on assumptions. Till then man, let's wait and see what happens!

SonOfEl:


You only about CU.....you don't know about UI, UNN, OAU, etc....Go to their sites and see things for yourself.

www.ui.edu.ng
www.unn.edu.ng
www.oau.edu.ng
etc etc etc

I will give you just three quotes:

1." necessity is the mother of invention"

"A smooth sea can never make a great sailor"

"When the going gets tough, the tough gets going"

Digest it and learn.

SonOfEl:


I thought you wanted to exit your thread? U are so juvenile.

Past glory? I laugh at your ignorance. Why not stop embarrassing yourself by going to www.ui.edu.ng or even www.unn.edu.ng and see what is going on in these unis? Your conjectures are laced with ignorance and naivety.

zeongeon:
The problem with us in Nigeria is that we hate the truth coupled with the fact that we are envious.. The OP stated his claims with fact but we rather remain in the dark.

The people bashing OP if they have the means tomorrow won't even send there kids to the public universities they themselves went to. it's a known truth that the educational system in Nigeria is screwed.

The public universities are only living in there past glory. They can't be compared to CU presently. Go to our public universities and then you will see why the elites either send the kids abroad or to CU.

You know the truth.

TheVictorious:


1. Through provided there is enough material for the invention that the necessity has created. If not why do foreign countries produce what is needed in Africa that they themselves don't need?

2. Yes but a great sailor needs a good ship. A very bad ship may drown a good sailor.

3. Very true. One that gets tough when the going gets though must surely have flown if the going was better!

Oga put forward your points and counter the 10 points raised here. You have relegated to insults.

lonelygem:


recall: your CVs never forget to indicate "ability to work under pressure in pursuit of objectives with little or no supervision. "

abi you Don forget?

Statsocial:

I am fully aware of events and global contributions of most Nigerian universities and I understand that they have potentials for greatness but the fg is holding them back. Hence, the time is over for the likes of OAU to determine what Nigerian education looks like. We would bring a new meaning to quality education and we are committed to being one of the best in the world. In the next few years you won't be able to compare CU with any FG uni because we are going for the top.

happybrother:
Kill me or spare my opinion, the op stated fact. Though my stand is not on how bad our bests are but how better we can make our "goods".
The stated fact about these lines of comparison can push us and our edu-sector managers to do better but my doubt still remains about a country and it's people who envies the good. The system is such that people in this country like to praise non-performance.
CU IS BETTER THAN THE FEDS.

Shygirl1989:
I wonder why cu students and alumni try very hard to prove they are worth anything..... I'm yet to see anyone do anything substantial and worth talking about and not prying on what someone else has already built.
Well they say
"empty vessels make the loudest noise"

1. Imagine the insult to University of Ibadan.....smh
2. Glorified secondary schools. How many multi national companies employ from private universities,
3. they only do so when they have augmented their akara certificatescertificates with foreign masters degree certificates.
Please this OP should check his facts right before annoying us with this nonsense he posted,
#walksoutofthread

TheVictorious:


No I wouldn't do the counter argument. Before proceeding to put forward my points I lucidly stated what necessitated this post; which I don't think you read and I won't proceed to lift out points from the post to correct you either.

If you can't read and understand what is the point commenting? It would even have been better if you simply asked questions.

SonOfEl:


Let's hope so. For now your superiority assertions are premature, and for the op, delusional.

TheVictorious:


I know the schools I mentioned in this post and it (CU, Landmark, ABUAD, etc.) cant be any of them.

irepsuccess:
that is not true. more than 80percent of CU lecturers are products of FG University and most them enrol their wards into public universities. if u say life is easier at CU, I concur but saying that they are better, I disagree. wait sef, CU isn't even the best in Nigeria according to all rankings and can you compare the number of foreign students in public universities to that of CU (that's if they have foreign students) if truly they are the better, foreigners wont opt-in to FG universities.

sanchos9607:


My response therefore is this.

Seen!

Duru009:



Are u aware that 80% of programs run by landmark university are not accredited by the NUC.......

Say things u know. Some of the lecturer there are my friends......

sanchos9607:


A couple of quick questions. Will CU have still survived or thrived had federal universities been properly funded? Is CU not merely a vulture feeding on the carcass of Nigeria's failed education system?

On the other hand. I've been to CU and I was overwhelmingly impressed with what I saw. It's an amazing institution considering its in Nigeria. Kudos. But be more humble and let others blow your trumpet. Your day in the sun will come. But while it tarries, don't curdle the milk.

SonOfEl:
For the sane people viewing this thread, I thank you for not giving OP the satisfaction of trying in the name of "PROOFS" to rub shoulders with our prestigious public universities. He craves attention, and we have given him the bit he deserves.

That noted. I have respect for CU. If not for the juvenile assertions of the OP, you probably would read positive remarks about CU from me (which I even did on this thread despite the negativities).

CU is making genuine efforts in advancing African universities, but they can't achieve it alone, their chancellor knew this, that was why he got profs from public universities and beyond. It is only on this thread that CU is superior over these public universities.Pardon the OP.

asuustrike2009:

That's not enough prove to disprove what op said. You need to come up with concrete prove not be sentimental

Statsocial:

When I did my SIWES programme in NBC. The vast majority of public university students could not handle an ordinary microscope- [b]My sister went through a public university and never saw a microscope as a microbiology student till she graduated.[/b]Most of the Public university students could not Culture or subculture at 300 Level! So don't come here with ur single story as we all have one....

LordIsaac:

This is a masterpiece. An epic response. The guy almost had me. Thanks for making him see the weakness of his argument!

DMainMan:


I concur CU graduates are doing very well. Apart from the education, they also teach them valuable life skills, such as communication and persuasive skills. That is y most are being employed today. Those guys pass aptitude tests anyhow because they teach them onset in their curriculum. They have the highest success rate.

Unlike the federal counterpart where u will see a first class graduate who cannot communicate in simple English. Who will employ him or her? Truth is the government need to enforce and finance our public education system. The indiscipline and awkwardness cannot be overemphasized.
