Why is UNIPORT not here?

Most of the names are very comical.

They shouldn't be approved looking at the names alone.. it looks shitty

See names like memes

TGMISKY:
Why is UNIPORT not here?

Uniport is an approved federal university, the last time I checked.

Instead of wasting funds on building universities, why not establish a company or factory and provide job security for the graduates. Universities established with the sole aim of making profit, so what's the point. This country needs pple that will think ahead. The more the university the more they produce substandard graduates.

Great info.

Eggxactly...

We use the technology developed by others, eg., computers, internet, automobiles, refrigeration, clothing, all electrical and electronic appliances, education, religion, style of government, military equipment, etc...

Sometimes I ask, how were they able to invent??
What did they consult that we cannot do here??
How did they get it done??
Can't we do the same??

What have we invented that is driving national or global economy or are used in other countries?? ...don't even mention Crude Oil because it is a natural phenomenon.

#OurBlackIsIritating

The educational sector can never be developed in this shithole. Reasons? Bush meats will not catch the hunter; the oppressed will not oppress the oppressors; the ruled will not rule the rulers; the people will never know or ask for their rights...(sobs)
