Well, I can tell you that Computer science and basically all Engineering in Covenant is far far better than that of most public schools in Nigeria. I won't speak on public universities...everyone knows they've mostly all fallen.

You'd only have a point if you studied all them art courses...like English or something.

And since you see private uni students as those who couldn't pass Jamb, let me inform you that the guy with the highest score in Jamb 2018 is currently in Covenant...going to 200 level. And there are many more like him. So, you can see that your assertion is baseless.

And why do you recommend Babcock. People with your opinion (that private uni students couldn't pass Jamb) usually detest private universities in general. So why Babcock over Covenant (even though I'm sure you know Covenant is perceived to be a great distance (academically) ahead of Babcock).

I prefer babcock because my current line of work is IT related and all babcock computer science grads I have met have been outstanding. I cant say the same for covenant. This is my personal opinion tho.

Sorry for this question, What was ur course of study in the university? Which university did u attend?

For the record, from available statistics and rankings, CU is far better than other privately owned universities in Nigeria.It remains the only private university that competes favourably with the likes of UI, OAU, UNILAG and some first generation universities..

On what ground do you measure "far better"?

Please dont say facilities. Ivy league schools are what they are not only because of facilities but also their produce.


Are you aware that most private uni have third terms sorry remedial semester for those who failed that academic session.

How do you pay millions have not have at least a 2.1 ?

Why do you think privates have churn out the most first class?

Logic will mislead us to think its because the students are well taught.

convenant is not a waste the connection you see there (if you use am well)are no1 in the country
Babcock is OK
Afe babalola too is ok
Public unis are totally run down and packed with little funds and plenty ways to frustrate ppl with jobs not sure at the end of 4 stressful yrs

Just like every other private uni and sec school. Send you kids to expensive primary,secondary school so they have a good network of friends whose family are rich...

Thats the only good side I see except I am told otherwisde

Well, Babcock Computer science grads might be better than those of Covenant (though I'm not so sure about that), but how do the CU grads you've met (I take it you've met a reasonable number), compare to those of the public uni grads you've met?

As an IT person, I'm sure you realise it's personal development that makes the best Comp science graduates. Apparently, Babcock has a better community for such things.

You should probably stay in Covenant for like a week when the academic session is on. Then compare it to that of the public uni you went to. I don't see why you should assume they pay for first class or something. When there's no opportunity to have fun however you like and do whatever you want...when you're forced to go to all classes or risk an extra year, why won't you be more serious than those who are exposed to distractions of every kind?

Also, that remedial semester whatever doesn't exist in Covenant. You fail, you carryover and should you carryover so woefully that you need an extra year, you have a maximum of 2 years to finish up else you graduate without a certificate. Thus your 4/5 years + 2 extra in the school will mean absolutely nothing, and there's nobody you can pay or beg to help you. Tell me why they won't be serious.

This may just be my prejudice against private uni students/Grads.

I perceive them as "Those who couldnt pass jamb".

So paying in millions for education that most get for less is athe rich man's kid's way of not failing JAMB.

For the rest of us who pass JAMB, we pay less for the same education.

Please no one should mention they have better facilities. What good is it when they are not not different from the public guys in practical.

The only private I recommend is Babcock. The others are hogwash. Complete waste of money.
This your stereotype thinking will not take far in life. Your so called public universities had deprived many of getting jobs because of age( persistent strikes from university lecturers).

How bad is your country that you are coming to University in Nigeria and paying dollars?
Anybody can choose any country to get degree. China has one of the strongest economy in the world yet their citizens still travel to Europe to study. I met a postgraduate student from Belgium studying at University of Lagos. Would you say that he left his country to study here because his country was bad?

To me, maybe they should consider other African countries but Americans and Europeans can be charged high. Some schools there charge as high as 10,000 USD.

Re: Covenant University Increases School Fees For International Students by Fallenhunter: 5:36am On Sep 06, 2019
If you go to study abroad, you pay 4 times what local students pay. In some countries education is free for locals but international students must pay. Here they are asking for just 2 times what Nigerians pay. It's a system that's practiced all over the world.

They are not useless, simply because they are in Africa.

It’s time Africans put some values on themselves and start thinking of the way forward. Europe was once like Africa - when Egypt was the world power.

Times changes - it’s just an evolution of development; and I believe the next 100 years will be different if you lots develop positive thinking and positive Acts.

Singapore is a perfect example.

Nobody will leave belgium to study in Unilag unless his course is African studies, or Languages stop spreading falsehood. people leave China to study in Europe because their education is regarded as the best, that's normal!

No foreigner comes to study Engineering, economics, Law etc in Nigeria stop deceiving yourselves. Our degrees are worthless!!!!

Even to work in Nigeria, most of the foreigners you see are 3rd rate, talk less of to study. The man at the centre of the $9B judgement is an uneducated career swindler, it's only in Nigeria that he can come and be a big man. No foreigner worth his salt will study in Nigeria especially when he/she is paying except your course of study is specific to 3rd world studies/ international relations/ foreign languages/.
