While there are some Nigerian guys who are actually excited about the idea of attending a private university after their secondary schools, there are even more than thrice the number who don’t wish to, especially those who come from well-to-do families whose parents are always intoxicated with the proposed or assumed good morals and high quality of education their children will benefit from these private institutions.

Not to lie or hide it, private universities do have some good advantages like the absense of the very familiar strike in the federal and state universities and the quicker and better access to lectures but honestly that’s all they can boast of. Forget their forming and poshy lifestyles. Many of them wish they were in federal and public universities. Lol.

I had an encounter with a girl from Madonna university and she confirmed she wished she was in Imo State University as her school was worse than a nursery school in the ways they were being treated.

Going to a federal or state university gives you the exposure you need in life and not being confined like someone in a prison or a food warming in the microwave. You learn the ethics and orientations of the real world and you are braced to face life because you have seen it all.

You gain wisdom outside the school lecture halls and your system becomes automatically adapted to the real life hustles and struggles unlike some over pampered babies in the private institutions who can’t face the real world when they graduate.

Graduating from a public institution gives you a psychological balance and charges your mental ability to scale through difficult times.

Enough of the talk. Let’s roll straight to the point. Here are six reasons private universities don’t suit a typical Nigerian in this our kind of bad economy and government no matter how rich your parents are. C’mon, forget the money, you need to experience life in the public institutions and your life will never remain the same.

Freedom and Independence: You don’t wanna be confined in a place like a baby or someone in prison or a food warming in a microwave. You need space, you need freedom, you need to explore more, you need to move out and experience some things. Unfortunately, going to private universities, especially those owned by the churches won’t help you achieve this and I know deep down your heart, you wouldn’t like this to be your case. You also need to wear that favorite dress you like and you can only do this in a public university. In private universities, you live the normal routine of a bank staff – everyday corporate. Lol.

Cost of Education: Private universities pay exorbitant school fees as if they even learn anything. What has a student from a private university in Nigeria invented or accomplished after all the school fees? Not just about fees, cost of living in private universities are way too high unlike in the public universities where you can cook your own food, go to the market and buy foodstuffs at cheaper prices. Don’t you think you are too old to be fed like a baby in the private university?

Exposure: In a public university, you literally meet life and life meets you. You see it all. But in a private university, you graduate and still haven’t met a quarter of life let alone life meeting you.

Life on and off campus is everything: Like it sounds, it’s just it. Campus life is sweet – on and off it. That’s the kind of fun you will only experience in a public university. No wonder when students in private universities are on break, they want to do all the bad things and have all the fun at once before going back to school. They know they are in prisons and not school. Lol.

Maturity: When you graduate from a public university, you automatically become an adult because the school system has shaped you to be. But when you graduate from a private university, you start life afresh like a new born baby.

Hard Work: Public university will teach you that hard work is compulsory and you will see it with your two eyes. Students in privates schools are still being pampered like nursery school students.

Well said bro


I rep uniben

Private schools are overrated here in Nigeria

The students don't know what the real world even look like

Enter any public school like uniben
by the time ekosodin boys collect your phone twice
Shaperly you go dey street wise
If you hear the word "show" for evening
Just run because them go disposses you of your belongings
Tear you slap join.

You have some good points laid out there OP.
But the exorbitant fee is the number one disadvantage of going to a Nigerian private university.

Some Private universities in Nigeria are glorify secondary school.........but the good thing is that there are still some very good ones among them.
The advantages are morethan the disadvantages (especially the issue of the constant strikes in our government owned universities.)

In every other developed countries in the world, Private universities are damn expensive too, but the good thing is that, there are always students loans and grants to cushion the effect unlike in our dear nation.

We will get there!

Both private and public have their perks.

You don't get to carry over a course you passed because of a lecturers non challant attitude in private schools.


And yes, you get to have freedom in public schools.

A friend told me they aren't allowed to cook, go out (unless they collect permission, which is hard to obtain) and stuffs, reminded me of my days in boarding school in high school


I still low-key wished I went to a private school, but very very appreciative I went to a public one

At the end of the day, na to make money b Koko....if u like ,attend semi - public schools

A guy that jumps from one girl to another is called “bouncing baby boy”

Shallow points

I concur with all of this and they are all facts about the private schools. Firms and institutions these days prefer to employ the services of a public or federal university graduate all because they believe that they go through rigorous academic experiences

I rep Unilorin.... they can frustrate your life. All these has really made me wise.

Okay. The advantages still outweighs this.

Hmm......are the dilapidated structures which is more prevalent in public universities also part of the advantages?

There is no heroism in "sufferhead"!

It's alright

those who their parents can afford to send to private schools don get 90% job assurance already

Vain and profane points

I beg to disagree. These are not valid points. Except you've attended both, i find it unfair to just assume students in private university are archaic or live a cave lifestyle.
The issue with the average Nigerian here is that he doesn't like any form of organization or orderliness which seems to be the norm in private schools. You love lecturers that are hell bent on frustrating you, the ones that will swear on their lives never to award you a distinction no matter how intelligent you think you are.
Btw, when you say

Cost of Education: Private universities pay exorbitant school fees as if they even learn anything. What has a student from a private university in Nigeria invented or accomplished after all the school fees?

I find it disrespectful. You can't just belittle people's hardwork because their learning techniques are different from yours.
Before you come for me, i am not a private university graduate, but people are free to study wherever they want and can afford.

. Private school students see themselves as caged animals and most of them misbehave when they have the chance of seeing the outside world

But it favours sickly children like sickle cell.

Op got lied

they have come again.

U av points sha....... But the points are too weak for my liking

Op what about students who attended public primary and secondary schools and later found themselves in private uni ? Do u think they hav something to fear ?

Same way they brainwashed my parent in the late 70s/early 80s from allowing me to attend 1 of the 7 private nursery/primary sch existing in ibadan then.

Private is the best if not for our economy

OP... This table you're shaking, you're on your own o

Going through unnecessary suffering does not increase your wisdom.

All those study hours lost to managing career hostilities do not automatically translate to moments of ground-breaking discoveries.

Strike action is not a useful experimentation.
This post is silly to me.

Wait, those fluffy bread children will come for you.
