Nigerian Education-my Concern

Nigerian education is scaring me now seriously. I am just talking to my friend who told me she is now in her 3rd year in the University. What shcoked me was the fact that she started uni. Nov. of 2005 and it is not even up to a year she started, she is already in 3rd year. My friend here told me that is why they don't get a job. Compare to someone like myself who started in 2003 and just finished 3rd year, mennnn, let us all pray for Nigeria

hanhan,  3rd yr From Nov 2005 to July 2006. Na yam??!!

Anyways sha, the education system in Nigeria is soo different. And m sure you know that. Apart from the fast "primary (elementary), and secondary (high school) System". I don't like Naija's method of education.

And hotstepper, canada is behind oo. 2003 and u r still in 3rd year.

The education system everywhere is different i guess.

Ohh Hotstepper, yeah i see. I take so many classes. Instead of doing the normal 10 credit hours some people do, i take like 14 or 16. So instead of doing 2 year in college like most people, i do it one and half. After fall this yr, I'm transferring to a University. getting my associate in 2 year college.

Anyways thats by the way.

U see in Nigeria, no matter how they rush to get out of school, there's no JOB. So it all amounts to nada.

Yup, I'm in community college. transferring to midwestern University by Spring. Jan '07! 

between, talking about education in Nigeria, like i said before, if it' aint secondary, and primary school. naija education is just not right. I don't understand it. First some people say they are jambites, then they say it's remedial.

they they choose to be doctors, but end up 'getting' Admission to study 'education'. I mean why would they choose what u should study for you??

SOme people want to study Business admin, but end up 'getting' admission to study Political science.

Which kind of thing is thaT? If i wanan be a doctor gimme what the hell i want. I pay my tuition damn it!

I modified my post. check it.

 yeah it happens  that way if shes in a private university in nigeria ,another session starts after 7months,schls like babcock, bowen ,covenavt,igbinedion ,and ajayi crowther universities  all have calendars like that,but one thing is they wait till kingdom come before they get their  call up letter 4 service,and 2 get a good job with that kind of degree ,needs serious prayer,I'm also in d same level with my younger sis and with d way things are going she might even graduate before me,good federal universities are in nigeria but its like people prefer d private ones in order 2 get a quality educatn and talkn about quality educatn in nigeria I'm not so sure one can use d degree 2 get a good job outside d shores of naija, because thers this friend of mine at my place of work that finished from oau,studied optometry 4 7yrs,came 2 usa and now workn at mcdonalds,seems so crazy,i don't no y she came here in d first place because shes white and she cld have gotten a good job in a nice hospital or smth,infact i don't no,i just don't no, evrybody  wants 2 come d usa.

@Hotangel, what is a ASSOCIATE DEGREE?
