It takes less time to get a Ph.D outside naija than it takes to get first degree. Wonders never end

Pls are PHDs done in two years? Someone help me out.

maasoap: And when you wrote a particular semester exam and you scored "" in two courses. It means those Ds would not be recorded because if they're recorded, it would definitely affect your CGPA. Are you now telling me that if I write an exam and score 5 Ds but I'm allowed to rewrite it so that I can score As is not a fraud?

if i had that kind of opportunity to re-write my courses in the federal University i attended then i would have made a Super ist class with CGPA of maybe 5.45....abeg all these private universities na scam n high fraud...!

What type of a course is Business Information? See wayo of the highest order; that is how we continue to deceive ourselves in this Nigeria.

Dude, if you've been trying to obtain a PhD for over 20 years, I think you should give up cause clearly, you're not up to it. Forget about Government Universities, PhD (research degree) is not for everyone. You most likely aren't playing to your strengths...

ZUBY77: Congrats to her. Business info was an easy one anyway.

If its an easy one, I challenge you to do it in less time...

jammyng: Pls are PHDs done in two years? Someone help me out.

possibly...
Here in England you're admitted to study for a PhD in 3 years... It might be possible to do it in less time if one started the research work at Masters level( which usually lasts a minimum of 1 year)... so lets say her PhD research was a continuation of what she did for her Masters, it would be possible to complete the write up and all in 2 years.

P.s
first year of Ph.D. here in England is spent gathering data, taking MSc modules that are relevant to the research work e.g. research methods, statistical packages (spss, stata, anova etc)-(ungraded), attending seminars and writing your proposal
second year: more literature work, attending more seminars, viva
third year: write up.

so it is possible.

Ozegbe: PhD is a credential, the question is what are her potential? what was her project and on what basis was she given the phd.?

IS PHD GIVEN WITHOUT A MERIT? U SOUND LYK AN ILLITERATE. MAYB U HAD 3RD CLASS DAT'S Y U DIDNT VALUE EXCELLENCE. LOL...

Na wa for private universities,66 1st class,over 1000 2nd class uppers,200 lowers,no 3rd class,no pass out of 1300 students? Haba!

Really guys, most private schools are scams and high frauds but babcock is an exception. They do not dash first class in babcock university.

Because of the nonsense that people like most of you here are yarning, Babcock had to prune down the number of their first class graduates. But yet dullards would never accept that just because they ddnt make a 3.0 CGPA in their school does not mean that another person in another school can make a 4.92......smh

And as for the third class issue...no! Babcock would not graduate a third class talk less of a pass. If possible,they would make sure u rewrite all the courses from scratch, it helps them make higher profit..

This is not excellence; this is washy

Good feat but I know of the daughter of a popular deceased politician from who became a Ph.D holder at the tender age of 22 years in Chemical Engineering at a renowned university in England

Revolva: Nigerians and over education still yet we can't produce a pin
Omo no be by phd jare na who whole plenty money dey talk for naija ooo make she know oooo

The question ought to be: what disciplines are you having your ph.d in? If you are getting your ph.ds in non engineering and science fields, most likely it is useless. Yes Nigerians can produce a pin: Biafra scientists and engineers did produce most of the weapons used. Research Professor Gordian Obuneme Ezekwe (1929-1997). He was the brain behind most of the Biafra inventions. Yes, Nigerians can produce pin if their ph.ds are in the right disciplines.

@ T22,
Yeah !, I was actually waiting for someone to make a comment concerning her corresponding corroborative superb academic performance as a Master's Graduate of UI. You were on-point on this one.
Albeit, this is just a unique, rare & isolated case of the correlative outcomes of Public tertiary institutions versus the Private ones. I think your critics have more & deeper insight into realities on ground in respect to the above.
A graduate/post-graduate student of a Public University ( especially the 1st & 2nd generation universities ) is more likely going to prove his/her mettles as regards academic prowess/standing compared to that of a Private universities provided of same grade.
After all, most of the candidates in Private universities ( undergrads ) are fall-outs of stiff competition at the cheaper Public universities.
I'll cite a close case for you. A distant cousin of mine & 1-yr older than me struggled for greater years to gain admission but could not because of her 'lil-below average' cognition. Luckily for her, her father,having ventured into 9ja-politricks & polithiefing and becoming crookedly successful, got her admitted to study Law at LeadCity University.
God is great & His ways are amazing & un-decipherable!!! While I was holding my fear that she'll be thrown-out at most by 3rd year, she caught me with surprise right from her 100-level by being among the academical-topshots of her class. She narrowly missed 1st-class.
I'm not God & I can't play Him, but down within me, I know my cousin is a 3rd class ranger of many of the 1st & 2nd gen Public tertiary educational institutions.
But this is not always the case. There are rare exceptions or what you can term oddities.

Good illustration. However, I fear my point has still not been gotten.

I am not talking about whether private schools are good or not, neither am I thinking about whether undergraduate courses at private schools are below par. I have no business with this. It is not my interest to discuss it. In fact, this is even evident from the way I clearly ignored the undergraduate GPA thingy and instead focused on my main interest, which is a lady who got a PhD at age 25.This remains the only thing I am talking about.

When her critics said this and that about her achievements, I went further to prove that the girl is well in the league of competitive graduates from some of our revered public universities, UI in this case. I concluded by saying that people should be treated individually. Till now, I have been talking about one young lady who got a PhD at the age of 25 and so it would be nice if the main issue at hand could be focused on.

Meanwhile, I still maintain that anyone who thinks this lady is fraud must also think UI is fraud. The same revered UI gave this lady almost a 7/7. Were public school graduates not there at UI when she came second in her Master's class? As I earlier said, we need to crucify people with very convincing reasons and when we see an exception to our preconceived notions, we need to recognize and acknowledge it.

congrat!!!

akinnux: How manage? She bagged master degree in 2010 and Ph.D. in mid 2012. Was there no course work? Did she collect and analyse any data at all?

Hi,

Possible answers:

You know, the standards in UI are very high, I guess. So, it is possible for her to have successfully concluded the PhD course work during her master’s at UI (with the right grades too) and was exempted from retaking the same courses during her PhD at BU.

This is sometimes the case when your current university has immense trust in the previous university where you first did your graduate studies. It is no news that BU should hold anything UI in the highest possible esteem. In addition, if you do PhD research in the same area you did MSc thesis, then, depending on how well you mastered the MSc thesis topic, you are likely to finish the PhD in a short time. The process becomes even much simpler if you have a supervisor who is very vast in your research topic.

These are answers I formulated based on my experience.

[quote author=crackhouse] if na govt university, they for hear am. By the time they get missing script three times, their body go change colour. Those lecturers are real enemies of progress.[/quote
Michael Okpara university of agriculture, Umudike is one university that has a great number of sadists for example 80% of Post Graduate(msc) who enrolled 2008,2009 are still struglling to take final exams despite graduating from that institute with 2:1. One Dr. Onyebinama of the Agric Economics Dept. Has turned most of her students to his personal slaves ...they mark his script,run home erreands for his wife,conduct research for him still he is busy holding down more.

Eagles man: that should be their school age,I guess.their real age is above that.

school age? Football age. Lol
