i guess you must be a student of unn?what they're teaching there is simple library science, they added the information science to the name because they were not getting enough students and therefore needed a change of name to deceive unsuspecting students into applying for the program, even the library science they're teaching there is archaic and does not reflect the modern needs and skills needed for the profession. a similar fraud is been perpetuated at the department of archeology and tourism,likely the department of theatre arts and film studies too.

Though, in my 100level, we did a university required course in Computer programming just for a semester. But totally doesn't relate with accounting as we were busy writing codes to build a GP calculator.

GP as in geometric progression? what language was used? it surely has no correlation with your course of study.

dblackninja:


To tell you the truth, Nigerian system of education in the university level is just crappy and won't add any skill for you. It's just a total waste of time unless you are innovative & can think outside the box.

Call an electrical engineering graduate to do some simple alternating wiring and he will burn down your house but call a simple electrician for the job & he will do a neat work.

U mentioned that mech engrs create design & optimize...well I am yet to see a made in Nigeria car, unless am living in pluto, nothing tangible have come from our mech engineers.

Or shall I talk of the botanists that doesn't even know the name of species of plant from just one genus. What he knows is what he heard in the class but bring a cassava leaf for identification, his face will change to-->

What of our electronic engrs, the road side phone and computer repairers are far better than them. They only know how to carry files up and down.

Seriously do you want me to go on? The only thing you know there is: where is 201, 302, 411 lectures holding? & you will run like a goat on heat to grab the front seat & at least get D in the course

Nigerian university education system is just wack...graduate and follow others in file carrying.

Don't know where you got your information that the only thing I know is this?

Seriously do you want me to go on? The only thing you know there is: where is 201, 302, 411 lectures holding? & you will run like a goat on heat to grab the front seat & at least get D in the course


If you were unable to make use of what you were taught in your uni or if u were a victim of lazy lecturers, pls do not add me to your category of person.

I know what I got out of the uni, I know what my lecturers gave me, and I know the value of my education.

Bro use the Internet wisely, instead of coming to Nairaland to lament, I'd suggest you grab the free knowledge that is on the net relevant to your field

No not geometric progression...
GP as in grade point...

Yeah, I know right, it doesn't correlelate one bit, I am sure those who even had A's in the course would have forgotten how they did it. In Nigeria universities, we are only taught to forget, that is, for only exam purpose.

A particular lecturer taking me Ecn- macroeconomics: he teaches well though. But when hr gets to a point he says things like "I don't need to teach you this part, I didn't set it as your exam question, you don't need to know it". If we even go further to read up and ask questions about that which he said we do not need in class, the man would flare up and would almost storm out of the class.


Yes, education in Nigeria needs revamp!
I doubt I would even use my degree to work, sometimes I pray I get quick funds to move on with various business ideas I have.

the man has taught you the one he understood na,this idea of teaching only the part the teacher understands is also rife in our secondary schools is primarily responsible for the poor performance of students.

Do you know why I quoted you? It was because of your statement here:

"and a mech engrs job is not to fix cars pls but to design, create , and optimize . fixing stuff is for technologists. "

Can you create & design a car? Sorry the tire of a car? Even to the lowest standard??
If yes then you learnt something in the uni studying mech eng.. If no, then my brother you went there to read & cram textbook just like everyone else

First of all I'm not a mech engineer, however even at that put me in a fully equipped mechanical and materials engineering lab, I will whip up a tire and give you all the design specs, and that will be just from what I learnt from strength of materials, and materials /metallurgy classes I took in school, hell I can even do better than that.

As for my electrical engineering I can do more than just designs and produce prototypes that solve real world problems,

Just because we are constrained by lack of equipment and proper funding/grants does not mean what we learn is useless.

Will invite you to my personal lab someday and show you stuff we plan to put in da market next year

saying that someone runs like a goat pn heat is a very decent and complimentary language?until i see your products in the market next year competing favourable against the foreign made ones, I'll advise you to keep your cards close to your chest.

dblackninja:

As for my products, they are unique enough to remove my fear of being plagiarized by even the so called white man's superior ish, and I'm not showing him my products rather I'm taking him to my lab lol, why would I show him that kinda sensitive stuff,

dblackninja:

As for that, cant answer

So stop killing other people's morale and be positive about your people's capabilities

My brother stop being mealy-mouthed and circumventing the question.
What can you create or design as an electrical engineer that graduated from a Nigerian uni?
If what you're claiming to produce is outside the field of elect engr., then you absolutely learnt nothing from school based on your field.

The first thing in wiki about E.E is "Electrical engineers design complex power systems ..."
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Power_plant.jpg
Can you create such^^? (See image below) Heck do you even know the working mechanism of that? I don't think so.

Not to be spiteful but electrical engineering is the most wack course in most uni. Except if you're among the lucky few that there uni offer it with electronics..3ple E.
It's only wires you guys cary up & down looking for the nearest house to burn
Hope I haven't stepped on your toe, but you keep proving the OP right. All you have to do is admit it. Most of us here went to the uni you know

Hahaha! LOL

I just hope this "greedy generation" will stop EQUATING MONEY ......to KNOWLEDGE!
University Education (if you actually applied yourself diligently to it), gives you knowledge

Money is money, .....to buy things and satisfy needs.
KNOWLEDGE is POWER.... it encompasses everything, including Money
Even the Bible asked us to "seek Knowledge" first.

Those who have Knowledge (sound education) will never worry about Money because "Money will keep chasing after them".
Go and look at guys working in places like LNG, Chevron, e.t.c whose earnings are just too embarrassing to mention, legitimate money!

And they do not have to kill or ritualize someone or pirate somebody's work or import fake products or kidnap anyone!

Fools run after Money while the "wise" seek knowledge.... which adds unlimited wealth.

If you see a University graduate who says his Degree is worthless, you have seen a graduate who mostly likely cheated to graduate.

nobody pays you for what you know but for what problems you can solve for him using your knowledge~Napoleon hill, knowledge is not power but the application of knowledge is power~Napoleon hill. as long Nigerian schools are teaching archaic non applicable theories, many of their graduates would always question the time, money and effort spent there. I'm not in the mood for typing epistles now or i would have given you a more detailed answer.

he said majority, he never said all and both of us knows that he's saying the truth, majority of Nigerian ladies are not serious with their lives and lives an unexamined life especially in the campuses.and at the end of the day, they would start looking for an unfortunate man to dump their poverty and self caused health problems on.

awww my dear.. Same thing wit me. I had mad love for that course wen I started, but somehow along d line it faded.

Iffa catch myself in court room eh or doing any yeye practice eh make I knw Wetin cause am.
I want to be an OAP , VJ etc now. As for me.. Studying law is a total waste of time . It's more painful cos I just wasted 5full years of my time

My dear... U spent only 5yrs? Lucky u. I spent 9years for a SIX YEAR course, never had a single Carry over!!! Thanks to ASUU, accreditation; strike, strike, strike!!!.

There is a business side of teaching. If you can do WAEC,NECO and JAMB runs then you ll be fine.

Get students.

Find out schools that are into runs

Register that students at your own price(If the schools charge #25k for each student then you may charge #35k)

Hussle very hard for your students to make it and you will be in money.

This is assuming you are not a good christian!
