There have been series of arguments
about the superiority of some courses
in Nigerian Tertiary institutions: some
students feel their course of study is
more important and special than
others. Don’t worry, I’m not here to
bore you with my opinion about that-
maybe I will put that forward another
day.
Some courses, students or departments
in our schools have been facing this
inferiority tag. Because of this, some
lose interest in their course or
ashamed but we still have the proud
ones who don’t care. I still don’t know
what people see wrong with these
courses that they tend to underrate but
here is the list:
The 5 Most Underrated Courses in
Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are

1. History
People don’t just see reasons why
someone will go and spend four years
or more to study past events. History
students are always tagged archaic;
their discussions and studies are
always based on passed dates and
events. You might be tempted to feel
superior to someone who all what he
has to offer is events that happened
even before Christ (BC) in this 21st
century.

2. Agriculture
Agriculture students are popularly
called “farmers”. I don’t know why
people look down on this course?
Maybe because you always see them in
campus with farming tools and in their
farm. I am sure others undermine
them because they are naive about the
fortune they can make with the
knowledge of the course. People are
going back to Agriculture and
embracing it daily, so I believe this
should be out of this list soon.

3. Nigerian Languages
“Hey babe! What Course are you
studying in school?” and her reply was
“Yoruba Language”. My friend bursted
into laughter telling me why didn’t she
just go to a typical village and mingle
with the villagers to learn their
language, instead of coming to school.
Students studying Nigerian Languages
faces this downgrade almost every day
in school.

4. Education Courses
Because of the poor treatments being
accoladed to teachers in Nigeria,
students studying any education course
are degraded-students see them as
another “suffer head” teacher to be.
They have forgotten that without
teachers, they won’t be where they are
presently and we now have successful
teachers making it big.

5. Zoology/Botany
Zoology and Botany are different
branches of Biology and what they do
is to study plants and animals. Because
zoology is related with “Zoo”, other
students assumes all the students
studying it will end up in the Zoo.

lols. You got to be kidding me! Those are even some of the most populated departments in my school with over 300 students in a class.

Religion and cultural studies.
NLanders will be like, this course is the cause of our national problem.
Scrap it!

you must be a Jambite

Education courses are so looked down upon.
Nigerians need counselling; they need psychologists.
Come to fitness and understanding your bodies and staying healthy, you need Health educators. You love Ronaldo but hate courses that assist with fitness.
We ought to change our mindset towards courses that we don't like.

1. Agriculture? Really? Do you know about the course called FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?
cocacola, nestle, uac foods, 7up, OK foods, gsk, NAFDAC, Promasidor, Guinness, wamco foods, erisco foods, dufil, the list is just endless. These food industries and agencies employ students from that department... Only foolish youths underrate Agriculture.

2. Education courses are relatively gaining some grounds now, particularly SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (MATHS, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, BASIC SCIENCE, etc) EDUCATION. For teachers, higher degrees and working location are the main factors that brings more cash. Lecturers own houses and drive solid cars, college teachers in urban centres make moderate income coupled with a free time to run other businesses.

Philosophy nko? Worst course ever in Nigeria today. Guidance and counselling. These "curses" weak me.

No sir, ijmbite. You must be a Jambite.

mozele:

You're talking of a single uni. The topic is about Nigeria as a whole.

Abdulnur:


No sir, ijmbite. You must be a Jambite.

I see. And no, I'm in my finals.

Best of lucks over there.

Thank you. And you too.

Exactly. We're all spectators of other courses and as a result, we think Nutritionists are thought to cook while political scientists are groomed to be political leaders. I don't know how op defines under ratio, cos all the courses he mentioned are highly competitive in my university.

Medicine i.e. 'medical doctor' is lucrative but overrated. Nutritionist/Dietitians and pharmacists are taking over not only prophylactic medicine but also therapeutic medicine as well.

Mech. Engineering are losing their shine because they have no base in Nigeria. How many automobile factories do we have in Nigeria? Mech engineering are busy rubbing shoulders with mechanical technicians (mechanics)
