You can get any grade that you want in any private university in Nigeria. They want money, give it to them and they are at your beck and call. It is just another way of getting quick money apart from tithes and offerings. Shio!

Nonsense. Have you been to CU? Who told you one can buy grades there? If that was true, then there would be like 500 first class because most students in that school have a lot of money. Maybe you ain't heard of the number of students they expel every month just because they suspect they've cheated. The Bishop is a billionaire and he didn't make his money from the university. Don't get me wrong, it ain't that I'm supporting the school, it's just that I prefer when people make accusations based on facts not assumptions. No yarn wetin you no understand! |

From the foregoing, I pity my country. It is unfortunate that most Nigerians hate success. We have this "pull him down" syndrome. What is wrong with a department producing 10 1st class graduates? Why on earth should we think it's impossible? Making a first class is not as difficult as we think it is. All you need do is for you to put your acts together from day 1 at school. I am a product of the University of Benin (in late 1980s). I knew of a lady who was withdrawn from engineering due to poor academic performance. She moved to Accounting department and made a first class. This lady in one of the best hands we have in the accounting profession in Nigeria today. I had a classmate who had 4 resit papers in our year 1, who ended up with a first class in engineering. What happened? He put his acts together in subsequent years. Whereas the guy who had the best JAMB result in my class repeated a class before he graduated. All you need do is for you to articulate why you are in school and be focused. This I learnt are not lacking in CU as the system there helps to address such issues.
Also, I'll advise our youths to meet friends or those associated with the university to know what they are doing differently. For undergraduates replicate them and for those of us who have left school, see how you can apply it into your personal life. chikena!

Thanks oo my brother. I have even seen non-Nigerians on this forum make comments to this effect. There was a thread on this nairaland saying percentage wise, Nigerians are the most educated people in Houston, US. Before you know it, people started talking about Nigerians doing yahoo yahoo and 419 in the US. Someone else said he wouldn't celebrate it because US trained people are the most corrupt in Nigeria. Any good news that has to do with Nigeria is always subject to doom by us Nigerians, thanks to our "pull him down" (phd) syndrome. |

But true true, this is really questionable. Even if they deserved a first class, they shouldt be given so freely. for the good of the school.

any serious student who can pass JAMB would never attend a private university. those who support them should make their next medical appointments with private university trained doctors. see you at the mortuary if you choose this option. gbam. Did you really mean your statement? From experience, I would not mind having graduates from the Leading private universities work with me. I supervised one in Nigeria in an international company and this person was much better than other colleagues at the same level despite being the most Junior in age. Maturity, communication skills, organisational ability and decision making skills was in a different class from others. It was same with one other person who went to same school, though working in a different group. I have interviewed some and found them to be very good and confident. I cannot say categorically that having 20 first class students graduating from one class is right, but I may not be surprised or shocked by it particularly coming from CU and in accounting. While not directly comparing numbers, if I remember correctly, UNN Electronics engineering and OAU Ife Electrical/Electronics Engineering have produced about 6 or 7 first class graduates in one go in the past. Personally, I know a few of them and some have furthered their studies and even gone on to do very well in the work place. |

when i read some comments, i laugh. comments about what you do not know or have any idea about. if we have these numbers of 1st class students, what is the big deal? should success be scorned? let members learn to apprecviate excellence. i am sure if failure was recorded?  ?  |

I know CU in and out.Politics too much.Many will wonder why Aremu left and Obayan was made the VC. You can get any grade that you want in any private university in Nigeria. They want money, give it to them and they are at your beck and call. It is just another way of getting quick money apart from tithes and offerings. Shio!
True talk.It is no news that most professors date students, as well as the power of knowing those in authorities give you higher grades.C.U is rosy to the public but stuff dt happens within is worse dn one expects. Isnt it that school where they declared HIV testing for everyone?
But true true, this is really questionable. Even if they deserved a first class, they shouldt be given so freely. for the good of the school.
It is a standing order from the Bishop that a certain amount of students be first class graduates.No one dares challenge that and if you do , you are shown the way out.Many wonder why some powerful lecturers left the school, same Nemisis Professor Izedonmi suffered.CU is a "theological" school to be frank not a University. |

CU is a crap school. i had two brothers in that school, one just graduated, and ive been to the school a couple of times.
the way they treat those students, i wonder how they would be anle to cope in the outside world. no inter-mingling (btw boys and girls), lights out, their disregard for students parents and guardians and their unnecessary empahsis on being too religious (compulsory morning and evening devotions). i think its all just too much. the university is a place where you are supposed to grow and mature into adulthood, not where your every move will be dictated by "daddy" (i think thats what they call Bishop Oyedepo) and some lecturers.
the school is beautiful, no doubt, but i think the students were not necessarily developed characterwise to be able to cope in the harsh nigerian environment and job market.
good luck to all the graduants though, u'll need it.

God bless you 9ja4eva for speaking what you know about the school. It is not about any "pull him down" syndrome, but speaking the absolute truth and nothing but the truth. Let's always speak the bare truth about things and not let these people keep pulling wool over our eyes. Having 20 first class graduates makes it look like those that went to public schools are dullards. If these 20 schooled in public schools, less than five will finish with first class, and if our public school first class graduates went to these schools, they would finish with "super first class" Forcing students into religion is crap. Man is a free moral agent, as such, he should have the right to choose his path in life. Even God sef no dey force person. Given the choice again, i will still prefer a sound public institution any day In public schools, you mix with people of various character, rich or poor, influential or common man e.t.c and you face so much distractions and attractions that it will take a set mind to achieve, that is what i call excellence. and you can stand any challenge later in life No be some set of bread and butter, spoon-fed, rosy-cheeked children. |

OAU (IFE) graduated 9 first class students in economics dept (2006 set) so why are people pissing in their pants, because CU graduated 20 first class students…if a school like OAU can produce 9 first class student in a dept…then CU with their excellent academic standard (superb lecturers, conducive environment, minimal distractions, maximum encouragement etc) IMAO should produce nothing less than 50 first class per dept….
First class is not a biggie….its just that many people go to school and forgot why they went there in the first place….all they are interested in is sex, wild parties, “belonging”
Instead of hating I will advice forum members that are still in school to face their academic endeavors squarely…the labor market is tough and with a grade less than a 2.1 it will be very tough to get a good job.
On that note I will love to wish all the first class CU students and all other recently graduated students the very best of life offerings…, go and wow the world ok?
P.S I did not graduate from CU

wtf are you talkin about? are u a student of OAU ife if you aren't of CU? see UNIBEN (electrical engineering) graduated 15 1st class in the last graduating set, we all know why these things happen. not that we don't have brilliant students in public universities, they oonly withold 1st class to preserve the integrity of the department. had a couple of friends that graduated with 4.48,4.49 and so on, there's something called multiplication factor, where they multiply your cgpa by a factor thus reducing it to 2.1 in effect!! while we\ve often seen upgrades from 4.48 to 4.51 to make a first class if there's no one in the 1st class range. the only reason elect elect in uniben did what they did was because it was bcomin too obvious the multiplication factor thing(which is illegal).thus senate met and decided to award all deserving students - this rarely happens,
for my private university dudes, we know these things, all the best of the best lecturers are still in the public universities, how much do they even pay resident lecturers, i know of babcock (60k); except for visiting lecturers which are of course permanent lecturers in public unversities. so what are we talkin about?
if you graduated from a public university, you'll know that 1st class is a big BIGGIE(to use your words).Private universities are not it at all, do they even need Jamb to gain admission? its all about the money. the more the school e.g CU appears to do very well, the more the patronage.
Imany have worked under me in my office as IT students, and i wonder, they aren't spectacular,infact many of them are like birds just let loose from captivity. they do things that they cant imagine doin in school.not neccesarily better than those from public universities, just cleaner most of the time 'cos they're from rich homes.

Having 20 first class graduates makes it look like those that went to public schools are dullards. No, it only indicates that public schools should check their professors mode of teaching and skills. Nigerians are, largely, very intelligent people. I have hardly met a Nigerian that studied in the US that did not finish with good grade standing. Or perhaps, is it that foreign schools just simply enjoy awarding good grades. It's quite suprising that we think its far fetched for a "competitive" school to produce an increasing number of students graduating with first class degrees. Is it not the professors job to lecture student and quiz them based on the what they have been taught? if that is the case, what's the big doubt about the 20 student graduating with a 1st class degree!!!! |

Statement of a naturally dull nigerian public university graduate, if at your level you think private universities is all about money and money alone,then i think i'll pay for my descendants to go to private universities for the next five generations.Dude,no one said private uni grads are magicians,if you were epecting something"spectacular" from them,then you must check your head, PS: whether a lecturer is paid 10,000 or 60,000 is not the concern,as long as his product can defend themselves outside, if you've not met any smart private university graduate,then you must have been mixing wiv the wrong group( probably a drop out from both public and private universities) |

Nigerians and their negativity. My sister graduated with 2:1 and she deserved every bit of it, any student that goes to CU and does not sit up should go and learn trade because the school has made it possible for them to concentrate on all their is. This is the world wide web and people from all over the world read what we write on here, can nigerians for once just help build their country's image and quit all this slandering. Bad belle no dey pay una, most of the bad image the western world has about us has been fuelled by what nigerians have written and said on so many occassions. Most of these students have worked hard to get to where they are and trust me their First class will take them places, una bad belle no fit stop am!

That is what i'm trying to say. These students are just spoon-fed ! Who wont finish with first class given the right materials, conducive atmosphere and all that. In public schools, you strive to get the latest materials yourself, nobody spoon feeds you. Just because they finished with first class does not mean they are any better than public school 2:1 graduates. Any good 2:1 candidate will challenge those first class CU graduates any day |

If you have a Pretty daughter announce her to the world, CU is Gr8
as for me my child will be there to bag his 1st Class too.
For the critics of this outstanding performance,send your children to government schools then they will be back home after spending 8/7 years for a 4-year course and eventually get 3D-Class.
OK!
