zebra: US schooling is better than that of Nigeria 100 times. Atleast u can see what not following their system has done to education in Nigeria and the economy as a whole.

Olugbenger:

So you are a graduate of a both a university, and a polythenic?

You mean after you completed your HND, you still had to go to a university to get a Bsc and are spewing nonsense about their equality here?

rckdude:

Well I think that is their biggest undoing. HND holders seem to accept society's opinion about them and just settle for less. I don't see why they can't push further and go for Pgds and msc.

Od31:

Before you start taking above ur head. I went to the university for a master's degree. My HND was evaluated to be BSC equivalant. So both HND and BSC graduates in same class for masters and I could not see the thing that was special with them.

Soyedele1:

Mr Zebra, Na Fight? I guess You dont have Prof to lecture you

I feel your pains!!

dejt4u:
let me tell u what probably u didnt knw about university education in Nigeria...
As a university graduate, u are bound to be versatile i.e u will nt be restricted to ur dept or faculty alone.. If u are a science student, u will tak some courses outside ur faculty be it admin, social science, art, tech etc weda as core courses, free electives, special electives or restricted electives.. So it makes dem more versatile dan ppl from other higher institutions..that is what i meant by revision of poly's curriculum..
Although, those wit OND or HND are very good in practicals even better than uni graduates especially in engineering... I hope u get me better now

zebra: Who dey fight who here? Sorry i'm 99% sure i went to the university before u, so why shld i feel any pains?

walemoses2: Could it be when you compared Samsung with Tecno

Olugbenger:


You are a certified clown. So now you folks have resorted to comparing the staff of the institutions?

You better discuss what you know.


I don't even believe this your tale of Unilag having no competent lecturer to take you on International Financial Reporting Standards. I'm in the engineering field, but i know relevant facts about such things and how to relate them to issues. Even my sibling in the accounting line won't say such about her institution, not Unilag however.

Don't make me expose you here.

Now, have you been to other polythenics?

What do you know about their teaching staff strength compared to universities?

rckdude:

But the established opinions are flawed. We all cry foul when someone with a foreign degree comes around and is considered before us. Its also the opinion of employers that anything foreign is better. Do you consider such opinion flawed or not?

rckdude:

Hey pls no name calling. Let's have a civil debate here. You don't know about the accounting discipline, if u do, u will know that Nigeria just adopted ifrs as a standard for financial reporting but ican and acca had incorporated it in their syllabus for a while now. The competent lecturers we have on ifrs are mostly ican tutors who are mostly yabatech lecturers. I never said unilag accounting doesn't have competent lecturers, I only made reference to Group Account and ifrs. Which as ridiculous as it may sound, we do not have and not many schools have it.

Soyedele1: for HND grads, during your Undergraduate days, how many professors taught you and how many professors you have in ur dept? At University level, right from your 100lvl to final year, You will pass through alot of professors... during my 100lvl, I can count up to 4 Professors that taught me.. Both of you HND holders know that you can work as a graduate assistant in the university..

Soyedele1:

Did you do Masters with your HND?

presher: yes going for msc is the best for them

presher: yes going for msc is the best for them

Soyedele1:

My Boss!! I'm not taking it personal as well.. I am learning alot of this forum but the fact remains I hav been taught by 15 prof or so..

kennytidistar:

and So? who told you there no Dr in polytechnic? is Prof not just a chieftain academic title? do you want to earn more than PhD? let start thinking above our cap!!

destino24:

There is a difference between an Engineer and a Technologist

Besides, we are not using the American educational system

I have a question for all

If you had the opportunity of sending your first son to any higher institution of your choice.
Which one would it be, poly or uni?

Olugbenger:

You would notice he fled after this question.

Olugbenger:

Most foreign trained graduates being better than the Nigerian ones is widely known and generally acceptable. It's not even debateable considering the current level/standard of our institutions here.


So what are you talking about being flawed?

isikco: so u are saying student of polytecnic are nt human worthy 2 b compared wit university graduate, i can bet anytin polytecnic student are genius and more serious dan uni, poly studnt ave more xperience dan uni, i went 2 poly nd uni.

zutu: B engr all the way!! I hate poly with passion.

zebra:
u mean u hate technologists? It means u're not a good engineer. Do u do engineering work without technologists? Do u implement ur designs by urself? U have to work with them, they are part of the engineering team.

searay: Why this arguement? Take Jamb enter Uni or or score less than 150 and dump yourself in Poly. The two are not the same in terms of standard.

jeffoe: look most of the ond guys who came in through post de some either could not cope and ask to withdraw some graduated with poor result only a small percent had good grade Chem Engr university of Benin they attested to the fact that what they did in ond was merely child's play
