You are missing something. For employers private uni grads are more desirable as entry level staff. They are easier to train, and had access to a more relevant curriculum. I will repeat all my employer (oil and gas major) new entry level hires are private uni grads. You think public uni grads were not part of the recruitment process. Private unis have reduced the available quality entry level jobs to fresh grads from public universities. I am a public uni grad, but I have been working since 2002. Unless public unis step up their game only their very best grads will get good jobs.thats what fashola was trying to do with lasu fees. In the end lasu grads will be the losers only fit for allmanenter jobs like estate agents

hmmmm please let truth be told. I attended a fed uni. i cud afford any private sch in naija. pls stop saying poverty. a graduate is a graduate whether private or public. I Ve encountered so many private uni graduates. a friend of mine was in a private school 200l med surgery n wanted to change to a public sch but he failed post Ume woefully. I was shocked cus he didn't fail with pride. and for the girls(or some of them) they are just too dump for me and kinda cheap. sometime myself and friends go just drive go their gate on the day of their vacation we must catch fishes na. dem no go travel go house immediately o. na hotel tins. just cus say den lock them. but all the same u can't judge all with just a few. for me some of them learn abt life after graduation. just imagine for nysc camp one guy just shout for one of their babes n she just start cry. @op no be by public sch ooo. labour market no know Ur sch o.

Acidosis: There are some parents who wouldn't send their wards to OAU or UI even if their wards score 399 in JAMB. Not everyone love a rough life amidst cultists, uncultured elements, congestion, stress, struggles, reading with candle sticks, queueing for water, harrasment, intimidation, etc.

In summary, your points are invalid, void and unintelligent.
those struggles are the fun in the university... if you miss such, you didn't go to university but a glorified secondary school.

Re: 6 Reasons You Shouldn’t Attend A Private University by Dopefiend(m): 12:35pm On Sep 09, 2014
dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when
making a choice of institution.

I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to
lecturers… Well, that’s about all.

Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the
freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the
hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed.

They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates.
So here’s my case for choosing a public university.

First off, you have to differentiate a private school and a Christian private school.

1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence:

Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to
be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their campuses
and under certain rules more suited for teenagers than young adults. The laws in public
universities are not imposed on the students; they are just the basic principles a normal student
is meant to follow. It’s funny when I see pictures of private university students being punished or
hear of certain rules like compulsory attendance of chapel, feeding time tables, dress codes,
e.t.c​.​ It is absurd; these are adults​!​

The students signed the undertaken themselves, the school didn't coerce them. Tho you can't hear of such things in lead city or igbenedion


2. Cost of education:

It is a lot cheaper to attend public university than a private one and this is not limited to school
fees. Cost of living on public universities is also cheaper. Students cook their own meals and hav​
e access to shops on campus and in town where prices of goods and services are competitive.
On the other hand, the cost of living on a private university secluded campus for one semester is
enough to build a house.

Lol. Why you hating on success? Poor man. Just say you don't have money.


3. Public university g​ives “exposure” to students:

It’s more than obvious that public university students are ”​sharper​”​ than private university
students. Private university students who are often referred to as “JJC” or “Learners” by public
university students, live what I term “the microwave life” which is the easy life.
In federal universities you get to meet all sorts: from cultists to Aristo chicks, people with
different personalities. It makes one exposed to what life really is. One is exposed to the hustle
and learns how to struggle for things. There are still brats in federal universities but most of
them get to grow up when exposed to the hustle.

On the contrary, private sch give more exposure than the public schools. What exposures are there in the public sch? Cultist exposure? Aristo exposure? You are sick. You get to meet better people in private schs than public schs

4. Life on and off campus is FUN:

There are so many parties to attend, clubs and events. One gets to meet real people, one also
learns to be real. There is a lot of gist and gossip, lot of things to laugh at. Rather than chapel,
it’s clubbing. Dating is even fun in federal schools. Couples express love without fear as adults.
One gets to see students that are rich and poor mingling as equals; students who express
themselves through their dressing and not relegated to some uniform.

So to you, having fun is now only through dating, clubbing and partying? Which private sch uses uniform? undecided Calculate the % of meeting rich folks in the public sch to the private sch, and slap urself

5. Hard work is compulsory

Students in public universities have work​ed​ through exceptional odds to succeed; challenges that
help one not take life for granted. Imagine a department of over a thousand students with a very
small lecture hall or a lecturer who spends only twenty minutes in a class where he is meant to
spend two hours, or one who only gives handouts. Faced with issues like these, students work
extra hard to come out with well-deserved results.

Hard work? Lol, with all the partying and clubbing? Blocking comes to the rescue for most of these folks. Go to bishop's sch and say you want to 'think' of bribing a lecturer lol. Na that day them go judge ur matter

6. Public universities produce more mature graduates:

With all the challenges: strikes, nonchalant lecturers, freedom to express yourself as adult etc,
public universities are more equipped for life after graduation. They know that things would not
just be handed to them and are used to making decisions for themselves.


Lol so because you graduated at 30, u feel Ure mature? Lol grow up. Maturity is of the mind. A 22 year old that just graduated from a private uni can be more mature than a 28 or 29 year old public graduate. Don't generalise because they turn you guys to grand daddies before they let you go.

Stop hating bruv. It ain't good for the mind, body and soul.

fallacy at the highest level! I am a student of OAU and I don't live a rough life. I am currently in 300 level and have never come across a cultist. In fact, I don't even know one. Life in itself is about struggle according to Hegel's dialectics. I have never witness any form of harassment or intimidation but on campus and off campus. An average OAU student is good, religious and well mannered and I think the same applies to UI.
Lastly, the electricity here is constant k.
