See 5 Ways Nigerian Universities Defraud Students by Joshkid(m): 9:15am On Dec 19, 2014
1. Accreditation fee: What the heck
does this mean? Instead of sincerely
apologizing to me for collecting
money from me as tuition fee, when
the university or department I have
been admitted to lacks legality, how
dare you turn around and ask me to
fund the accreditation exercise?
Nigerian universities would not use
money collected as accreditation fees
from students to purchase facilities
that would aid academic and
scholastic pursuits. The monies end
up in private pockets. Prof. Ezekwe
should rot in hell.grin

2. Acceptance fee: Accepting or
rejecting admission should be done
simply through written letter or any
other form that can act as a formal
notification. Collecting 5k to 10k
(don’t know if that’s the current fee)
as acceptance fee is fraudulent! I
often wonder why students pay to
accept an admission offer.


3. Students’ Affairs dues: Another
fraudulent fee! What does this
department do? Students’ affairs
units in our universities are not
relevant to the socio-economic issues
students face on daily basis on
campus. All through my days in the
Ivory Tower, I was a fervent payer
of Students’ Affairs dues yet I fought
all my problems myself what ever
form they came. So what does our
money do as dues? A student who
couldn’t pay medical bills was
allowed to suffer, yet a fervent payer
like myself.


4. Post UME forms and Scratch
Cards: Why sell forms or cards when
you know the capacity of the school
will not be able to accommodate the
teeming youths seeking for
admission? This is fraudulent.
Nigerian universities lower their cut-
off marks just to attract desperate
candidates. They need people to
purchase cards and forms when in
essence, these people won’t even see
or touch the school’s matric gown for
that academic session. Jambites, next
time a friend tells you that Migwor
University or University of Vrendo
accepts 150 as cut-off mark, you
might just be one of the steps on the
ladder for that university to make
serious money!


5. In all, selling of handouts,
unnecessary and low-standard books
to students, useless old rusted
machines in faculties of Engineering,
old and outdated computers in
Computer Science dept. are all fraud!
That’s why we have been producing
elect/elect Engineers that cannot
connect lamp-holder, talk less of
manufacturing wrist-watch cheesy.


Do You Know any other way? Oya
add it….
