Whether public or private, it boils down to the individual. If you have money and insist ur lad/lass goes through some mental stress by writing jamb and post jamb over and over again, just to get educated, then fine. Don't hate on private universities. It won't do you any good.

here lies our problem.
Degree vs HND.
Private Universities vs Public Universities.
Bla bla bla bla while people out there are making money, i mean cool money irrespective of their educational qualifications or the school attended.
Why must we think people around us should live their very lives to please us?
What happens to choices and preferences?

Imagine a ftiend of mine getting admission into private uni tellinh me she ll miss chatting with me cos her school does nt allow camera phones…and the OP here is talking horsesh*t...mtcheeew!

OduntanGabriel: This is a counter thread to what was written by a fellow nairalander.

Here are the 6 reasons why I attending a private university is good for you.

1)Conducive Environment : When you look at some government owned universities,you wonder if this is actually a secondary school or what? The government of nigeria doesn't really show much concerns to their schools but private university believes that a conducive environment is very essential for learning. When you go to private universities for a tour , you don't feel like leaving there, they have things in place for learning. You see student of public university overcrowded(receiving lectures through the window or standing @ the door) how do you learn in this environment,with so much heat thanks to the over population.

2)COST: Yea, I know you do be surprised I said cost. Private universities are expensive, you don't expect education to be cheap. The are expensive because they give you value for money. I leave you with the slogan which says if education is expensive try ignorance.

3)CONNECTION: No matter how rich a man is,if he doesn't have connection,he's useless. Private universities creates an avenue for you to meet the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful men in our societies. The Dangotes and otedolas have their sons ,daughters, nephew etc in this so called private universities and this can easily elevate you. Being a scholar does not guarantee you an employment opportunity in our society except you are connected. Isn't it a good thing to be dinning and winning with the crème de la crème of society? Answer me

4)SECURITY: Our public schools are not safe,not even safe for the lecturers not to talk of the students. Many student have lost their lives to this game called Cultism (even the innocent ones). Some lecturers who refuse to dance to the tune of this so called school prefects have kicked the bucket. What is the essence of making a 1st class in public universities and on your graduation day or final exam ,you get wasted. Abraham Maslow's listed 5 hierarchy of needs and SAFETY is one of it. Our Public universities are not safe for learning

5) STRIKE ACTION: OMG, why would a 4years course becomes 6years without any extra years or carry over? Strike has been one of the main problem facing the education system in nigeria. Some people entered the university @ the age of 25 with the hope of finishing a 4 years course but due to strike actions the finished at the age of 31 and couldn't go for their youth service because they are above 30years. In a private university, you know when you are graduating except the student failed some courses which lead to extra years.

6) Discipline: There is discipline in private university, you don't slap your lecturer, you don't threaten your fellow colleague. You don't run away from lecturers,you don't receive calls while having lectures, all because you want to party or flex. Remember , the main reason you are in school is too learn. Private university instill discipline on their student unlike public university.

which private uni are you refering to here Not every private uni is like that. Tell me where you got your facts from

what matters actually is not where u graduated from but what graduates out of you...thats all

nickz: sorry op...i bet your lecturer asked you to write names of noisemakers yesterday

BUSTED!!!

kristylopezz: When I saw this thread. .I laughed out loud. Op trying to console himself. You just can't fight it. Even my best friend knows that. After trying several times to gain admission into any of the public unis, even as brilliant as she is. She just had to settle for one of these glorified secondary schools in the name of uni.

When I asked her why? Her response was ''my dear wetin I go do na, I don tire''

As wealthy as I am and as wealthy as I will be. My children must attend public university. At least to stop them from reasoning like this op.

dat 'to stop dem frm reasoning like dis op' part got ma ribs crackin @in tears@

My younger sister scored 225. She just got admitted to babcock. I used to think so too, especially because I attended a public university. These. Days, it's a matter of preference

Take this topic to "trash" forum! Wtf?! You must be in babcock or somethang. Sorry my dear, your problem is being born into wealth. You don't understand Nigeria, and probably never would!

Chidinho10: Most students in private universities are students that failed JAMB.

That's not true. JAMB cut off mark for private uni is 180. Do you call that failure? By the way I scored 232 in JAMB without cheating and I graduated from Babcock University sometime ago. The quality of education there is superb as at then. I wonder how it is now. My brother who graduated from FUTO wish to have graduated from Babcock or Covenant. Don't be deceived. Go to a private uni and discover how you've helped yourself. You no go know until you go.

Public university students are always quick to attack private schools. It's nobody's fault your parents can't afford private schools.

Big Bag of Poo

if he gets admitted into a public uni and doesn't grab it his father will grab it for him......

Chidinho10: Most students in private universities are students that failed JAMB.

u can't be wrong.

As if you can get up to 200 marks in UTME get admission in public a university

So the Story of Jonathan travelling with alleged Boko sponsor Sherif has not made front page. I pity Nigerian youth. Right thinking Nigerian youth shud we keep queit nd watch all dis on dis forum? We can do something.

What can we do?

samypopson: you mean to say they cheated their ways 2ru post jamb examinations? Don't think u knw wat u re saying guy

how do u expect him to knw wat post jamb is wen he did nt pass jamb.

Hmmmmm. First 6 reasons not to attend private university and now 6 reasons not to attend public. What's next state university rite

Hmmmn oh well i think all these university crap is misleading... Your school contributes to you but doesn't define you. I went to a state university in Nigeria and i am the IT head of a global company in Germany now leading IT Innovation for the company. I have a Harvard graduate as one of my subordinates. Would i have been better if i went to babcock, covenant or one of the other money gulping schools? I don't think so.

By the power vested on me by the people of Nairaland. I therefore declare there shall not be any public and private universities in Nigeria. Let us all live in peace and harmony.

Neinah:


What can we do?

there is something we can do. I dont wnt to be the one to Initiate it. Any little step i tk here, am banned. But u know what i think something will happen.
