Kasynpaulsyn1997: my first jamb score was 163(2013) i don't rush things so i had to sit down at home and studied harder rather than going to one of the home of dumbness around,scattered all over the country........this year i got 201 and i'm already admitted to study law in ESUT!
So,son you see?!

I would not consider a 201 score in jamb at a second seating an exactly novel performance worthy of boast na.

butanep: those struggles are the fun in the university... if you miss such, you didn't go to university but a glorified secondary school.

Then you will join other people in the beer parlour to condemn Nigeria's educational system when you are one of the problems of the system. If someone with this mentality is put as Minister of Education, what drive will he have to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerian university students?

Guy let's be logical here. If private university students have more restrictions and are more in schools equipped with better facilities with no strike activities by staff of the schools, more students will make 1st classes na. Its just that simple.

In public universities where lecturers are gods that you do not have access to easily and are hardly around in any case because they are striking and where there are dilapidating facilities....less people will make first class. Simple

See my guy...yeah i might agree that majority of public uni students have thick skins, but guy life no suppose tough like dat. Besides, many public uni graduates have the erroneous notion that private uni students are spoon fed. Guy I did WAEC, JAMB, GCE and Cambridge O and A levels because I was supposed to travel. I didnt. I went to a private uni eventually. Of all the exams my GCE was the worst and I had 2 A1s. I had only 1 F9. The rest were B3s and C4s. Relatively the result was fine. I did much better in the rest with good grades that would have gotten me into schools anywhere. I went to a private uni eventually and I swear that I had to work my ass out to get my 2.1. I did not go for any summer programme where I could make up so I had to be serious. So when you guys make it seem like we got everything on a platter of fold I just laugh.

On a good day I might be inclined to see your point but guy, mehn I dey interview people from private and public unis for work o. Leave story. There is no absolute argument that either/or is good/bad, however, statistically, when public graduates cannot write simple essays/construct correct tenses or answer general knowledge questions at the dimension I see it...I can't believe that dupe p mehn.

There are good ones but on the whole Nigeria's public educational system has failed Nigerians.

You got that right man. I wonder why they don't compare their public institutions to others outside this Country. Suffering and smiling Nigerian mentality. They take lectures with over a thousand students in a hall meant for 200 and call it hard work. I attended a Public institution but thanks to my private foundation i was able to make good grades. Nigerians seem to love a situation where you go hunting for past questions, studying all night till they run mad all because they still don't know their lecturers two months into the semester. Now they hate on their private university counterparts who are 'spoon fed' and will ultimately graduate ages before them.
I can only feel sorry for those who still believe Nigerian public schools are better than the private ones just for lack of freedom in a selected few. To think that suffering makes you stronger and better, is real concentrated poverty mentality in display.
I currently pay the fees for my younger sibling in a Nigerian private University and will ensure my kids get the best of education within and outside this country. They would not suffer the same fate as I did in Nigerian public institutions.


I tire for our countrymen.

all those six reasons you stated were what was not supposed to be part of University education, those are the things the Alutas are always fighting against. What concerns good education with strike, hustling, Ashiii, Flying 'Keke', Groove, freedom for cult etc.?

Private University at least made you focus first: Study, live well, Value Quality, 'No cheap success', 'No distraction' and Work with Plan (4 Years).
Re: 6 Reasons You Shouldn’t Attend A Private University by sunnyprof: 5:11pm On Sep 10, 2014
Have you heard of our Universities (Federal and State) up to Mid-1980s? The lifestyle and environment then is what the private Universities now try to offer you.

Even OAU Ile-Ife then was a state University (with all its glory and excellence) then as the most beautiful University in West Africa.

I think our Public Universities are now the glorified Secondary Schools instead, its Jankara and Motor park where you are not sure if the destination is near, anything goes.

Please don't get used to the unruly world of poverty and corruption running in our public University, so that we can have better behaved leaders of tomorrow. Thanks.

@OP, if these are your criteria ... then, I'd would gladly say may God spare ma life, bless with kids and riches, and all of them would pass through a private uni. And I would equally pray to God to grant that you own kids would equally pass through the same kinda school u attended. I hope you'd gladly say amen to this.
Imagine what you posted! I'm so sure your v.c would be so disappointed in you for posting this rubbish or would rather be happy with you cos he's a product of such a nonsense you posted and does not have any hope nor dreams towards a better change in our beloved country's universities.
You sit there and say things you know nothing about in the private universities. Its a pity to say: most public universities are only living in past glories. Eg. Unijos cos that was the uni I attended before going to a private uni. And this was cos of the crisis there. I'm serving presently, and some of my classmates I left there are yet to graduate nor go for their service.
Getting into a private uni may seem easy to go, bu ma bro, a trial would convince you.
From your post, I'm not sure you attended a school, if you did, then it most b a glorified ocultic one. I rest my case for now
