erico2k2:well that's for the Ghanaians you work with. If u must know. The Nigerian resilience and educational background are to different things. Generally if it's for the resilience I give it to Nigeria. This has a major role it playe when ever Nigerians are in a group. But when you talk about Ghana and Nigerian educational standard. The difference is clear. There are alot of things lacking in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. Of which the forma has. Nigeria is not even an education destination. |

iamord:The use of Jamb is to select the best set of students, and each University further prone this down by way of post UME as they cant admit all that chose the Uni, this are just checks and balances to ensure they comply to the NUC quota, there is no basis for comparison between Nigerian and Ghanaian educational system, you might talk about about the ease of entry, assurance of graduation year in universities in Ghana as they admit at will and have no strike because the international students( mostly Nigerians) pay them more than the education is worth. |

erico2k2:How many students in this thread have mentioned Oxford imperial or cambridge. The schools mentioned here are not even among the top 500 globally and look at the exorbitant fees plus living expenses. Spending millions to go to a school that is not highly ranked. What's the use? 3 Likes |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 7:27pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
scoobs:Most asian students especially the Chinese japs attend highly ranked schools in the UK cambridge and the likes. The point am trying to make is that why should we Nigerians spend so much to go to a school that is not even recognised globally and after everything you are kicked out like a fool to come and look for a job in Nigeria. If you give 5 million to those boys hawking gala on the road they will multiply that amount by 10 in 5 years. 1 Like |

pato231:I never said that the Nigerian educational system is for lazy minds. And point of correction your statement is not true of Ghana ranking high in the number of illegal universities in west Africa. Cos there is no ranking of such. The only one is a list of illegal schools in the country. Of which Nigeria is not exempted. Nigeria is not an attractive educational destination cos things are not right in that sector . If it were. there will be foreigners troopin in. Today a lot of countries you go with a Nigerian degree you need to do some additional course to attach before they take you 2 Likes |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by pato231(m): 7:41pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
iamord: That is a big lie, you do not do additional courses to attach to any Nigerian degree for further studies in any country as long as you meet the entry requirement in the first instance, this is simple you stay in Ghana and acquire your Ashanti gold plated degree and allow those you desire a UK degree acquire theirs. And i don't know about now but when i was in the university in Nigeria we had a lot of Cameroonian, Malian, and Ghanaian students studying there on scholarship from their various Countries. Yes Nigerian Education is dwindling but no way has it gone below that of Ghana yet. |

pato231:Mr I passed through jamb. And jamb is a scam and a hogwash. It's just like the Nigerian neco that also needs to be scrapped. alot of students make As in it but have problems making Cs in waec.. Why? .. Neco is hardly accepted cos the standard and image is questionable. It's only the new generation schools that want your money that accept it. In a right setting it suppose to be that you make your necessary waec papers. You proceed to the uni for post ume. I repeat jamb is a scam and a hogwash. It has not done anything good to the Nigerian educational system. And not having strike and finishing through the calendar year alone in contrast to Nigeria. Should make you know that there is something wrong with the Nigerian educational system. Let me not even use that as a merit. Ghanaian schools can boast of a proper learning environment. Something a lot of Nigerian schools lack. 1 Like |

pato231:hahaha! I know of many instances and people who add to sir. And how do u rule that I schooled in Ghana. Which school and year are u talking about cos. It's hard to spot a foreign student in Nigerian University. The Nigerian education system has been dwindling ever since.. Ghana has always been a better choice. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by pato231(m): 7:52pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
iamord:In case you don't know the bulk of Nigerian students in Ghana are either University rejects or those that could not meet up with the academic demands of their study in Nigerian Universities and were withdrawn, they head to Ghana and in less than 3 years make it back a graduate or should i put properly half baked graduates. check facts around the world you see Nigerian students most graduated from Nigerian universities breaking records in Universities in their post graduate study. very soon Someone from a Cotonou university will also start comparing Nigerian educational system with that obtainable there. |

tensazangetsu: lol I was in Nigeria before moving over there, was doing mechanical engineering in unilag. Left that to do marine engineering. There are just two standard maritime schools recognised by IMO in africa, ghana and egypt. Egypt is too far so I had to settle with ghana, and you believe most nigerians who schools in ghana go there cause of the easy requirements and the standard is poo. Well I can only speak for myself. tensazangetsu: You did that at the age of 16? 5 Likes |

iamord:Its simple you make a 3rd class in any university be it in USA, you must first enrol for a PGD and pass, before starting any PG course, same way some universities only allow student with a 2:1 apply to them, you dont expect to be admitted with any grade lower than a 2:1 in such university. its not hard to spot a foreign student in Nigeria, its just easier to spot a Nigerian student in Ghana because of the population. |

tensazangetsu: How many japanese students have you met at coventry or other low ranked UK schools. And china has like 5 schools in the top 100. check again The question should be: How many Chinese or Japanese students have you met at highly ranked universities? There are many many Chinese and other Asian students in the UK universities whether lowly or highly ranked. |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 8:28pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
crazydove: I'm sorry but he is clueless. There are so many reasons why people end up in those universities he tagged lowly ranked and waste of money. Many universities are very good at certain subjects and general ranking does not reflect this but subject ranking does. Some Nigerians and indeed African students on scholarship are studying in those lowly ranked universities because of the agreement between the scholarship awarding body and the school. Self sponsoring student on study leave may not consider school ranking but just want to gained more knowledge in their field and return to their jobs in Nigeria. Like i said before there are many reasons... 1 Like |
