My friend's nephew is interested in Igbinedion University Okada. Apart from the crazy fees, Nobody knows anybody who knows any body who has attended the school.

Have u?

Do u know anyone who has?

Is it worth all that money?

Does NYSC etc recognise the school?

Do employers recognise the school?

Please help me to help my friend.

Many thanks,

hershyn.

It is a very good school

To all your questions,yes! I have friends who graduated from there who are serving now. I hope your friend has enugh cash to burn cos that school,it is either you are mega rich and ready to change rides almost every semester or just be your self.That school,I would not send my child to it,t be truthful.

The school's ok and really expensive.

Used to be abt 250K per session or sumtin:might b mo' now.

I am however not sure that private universities are accepted in the society already.a lot of people feel that sending ur

child there is synonymous with buying a degree.I agree to some xtent cos if u fail a course u can pay to redo the exam

and i think that's wack.

But it guarantee that there are no strikes and all that ish.

why is that wack. that is how it is supposed to be like . going thru the university should be like going thru hell as it is obtanined in the public ones

Igbinedion University is a good skool and it is well recognised, but u really need to be loaded 2 study in dat skool, and like de girl said, are u ready 2 be changing cars every semester or be ur self.
U friend needs a re-think before going 2 study dere, if he is well loaded or his folks, den he should go ahead.

tight school with much effizy.know a couple of guys peeps there but like evry1 is sayin u'll need a lot of cash to burn. or turn jackometer

Speaking from experience, the school is not up to scratch.

umm, actually know a few people who graduated from there and are serving as well but also know a few people who left the school 'cause their medical degree ain't accredited. It's the same problem like studying medicine in ESUT.
Depends on the course I guess. Take a trip to the school and find out exactly their accreditation 'cause we can't give you enough info, 

Who said Efizy? That's all you got upstairs huh?

Hmmn, ve heard wat u guys said abt igbinedion university. well most of wat u said re true.
am a graduate of igbinedion university, its a good school, despite d effizy n stuffs.
one major reason is dt u knw y u re goin to sch, so y nt mke best use of it (studying
).

Its really expensive dts d only disadavantage, apart from d medical aspect, wich i knw is stil undergoin accreditation.

A major adv is dt ur 4yrs is ur 4yrs, no strike or stuffs. de ve good lecturers, despite d corruption (which takes place in most of our universities)

I graduated last year n am presently serving. like i said, u knw d reason y u r dere. i didnt hve a car in sch, bt hd fun. its like normal universities, just kinda expensive, so ur friend has to b kinda boxed up, bt b mind ful of spendin. But if he cn afford it

An advice, go der n study, n stil ve fun knwin y u re dere.

Cheers.

"and wat do u mean 4rm experinece, d sch is nt upto scratch"?
ma dear i went tru dt sch, n its good.

What is good about a school that charges so much money yet has many of its departments unaccredited by the NUC?

hey y all
personally cant send my kid to dat kind of school forget the steaze abt knowin what u want 2 do in school, we all know school s for study but whyt pay thousand s of naira when u can be sure dat the child didnt even gain knowlegde, am nt totally against the school it shld have it s good sides but i dntr think i should be paying much 4 a school dat doesnt have sufficient structures, am in a private uni 2 in benin and i ve been to igbins uni okada but wasnt impressed, the opperssion dere is terrible true talk if u cant liveup 2 standard be an efiko dats the koko oh
u cld advice whoever wants 2 go dere to add money and attend abti american uni ,its expensive but they ve got quality american education and worth4 their money shld be abt 1.5 million or less per year , depending on if u want to stay on cvampus there check out deir poool, okada is like no go if u want mi advice[sup][/sup]

jazzy, d sch is a good sch. u said u re in a private sch too in benin, i presume BIU, wich is a sister sch to Igbinedion.

i like wat u said "i ve been to igbins uni okada but wasnt impressed, the opperssion dere is terrible true talk if u can't liveup 2 standard"

u knw wt ur prob is inferiorty complex, while dont u b u, u re nt goin der to impress anybody.
as per d structures u re sayin, to ma best of knowledge, der re facilities to aid learnin. "u tink schools like unilag was made in a day"?: hell no, it wasnt. just giv d sch time , n der will "definitely be an improvement"

like i said i attended dt sch, didnt ve a car n graduated, because i knew d reason y i was dere.

so, d only thin m requestin is "be you"

@jazzy,
please were is the school you are talking about located, i am really interested?

Otokx, u dnt ve a vast view of the school, d dept dt isnt accredited is medicine, which is stil undergoin accreditation like i said.

morova, some schools dt has bn in existence, vent bn accredited, so y dis young university

like i said, giv d sch some yrs, n everytin will change. for now, de re doin great!

yes its a nice school got cousins and friends there,and stuffs like efizzy and the rest is true.and the truth is i dont think i would like to go to that school.or advice anyone to go there.there are better private schools like covenant and babcock.

Who said Efizy? That's all you got upstairs huh?

i bet by now u shud have gone thru other posts and woken up, hate it or luv it efizy there is for real.

I don't mean no disrespect, but Omosofe I am just assuming that this is not the way you write
all the time, right? I have noticed a pattern among some recent Nigerian school graduates,
they can't seem to know the difference between when the target audience are their personal
friends/text message buddies or strangers. The writings are cryptic, and one gets a headache
trying to make sense out of what is being said, especially when they may be making valid points.

I hope I am wrong, but if that is a sampling of how some graduates of the Igbinedion University
write, I see no point burning millions of naira educating someone there. Why burn more money
if I can get the same result for less?

Well, I couldn't help getting involved in this discussion. I am going to be brutally frank. I was there this year for the B INC SOPHOMORE awards and to visit my friend Blake X and being a walking antenna and information junkie, I sure observed a lot during my 6 day stay. By the way I really had a swell time and got plastered and hung out with HOT chics. Well, if you want to go to a liberal private university where there very little restrictions and you can bring any sportscar to school, IUO is the school to be in. If you want to be a hippie dipsomaniac undergrad, IUO is the school. Same thing goes when you want to finish your degree within the stipulated time and not have to buy handouts or cope with chronic teacher absenteeism. However, Igbinedion University like most Nigerian universities, has an outdated curriculum, barely-qualified lecturers, horrid architecture-unlike Covenant Uni- and does offer much in the way of innovative methods. Nearly everything about Igbinedion University is about spin and image management. The university only turns on the style when the accreditation teams visit. And even though there are brilliant students there, there are a lot of dumb students who "sort" about 40,000K for some courses. You could also end up with major depression if you have an inferiority complex. The roll of cars in IUO include but are not limited to: RAV 4s, C-Classes, Kia Rios (Brand New) etc. However, there is an upside. The Nigerian educational system is in shambles anyway so why not just cough out 311K or 400K depending on your course and then then get a job, start a business or get a masters degree. I'M STILL COLLECTING ENTRIES FOR MY INSPIRATIONAL STORY BOOK AND ARTICLES FROM WANNABE MAGAZINE WRITERS. PLEASE SEND ALL ENTRIES TO QANADI@YAHOO.COM

haba iyke, u said u dnt mean to b d isrespectful, bt u re worse of ,

u guys re set to deem d image of IUO, bt like i said, giv d sch time.

morova, dis whole thing is gettin boring, , so y nt try sumtin else,

if u like d sch, go 4 it, else,

I think it's encouraging students to be lazy if u know that if u fail a course u can pay to get a better grade.

Also,I agree the school isn't up to scratch.i've got friends there.If an average person goes to that school and their parents don't own a company or know people,it will be tough for them to get a good job.

A 2nd class upper from IUC is tantamount to 2nd class lower or even a third class from Unilag or OAU or UI or UNN or ABU or any other prestigious Nigerian University

na wah oh

its not that good i have someone goin to the school and wants to leave.
they just want the money, olabisi onabanjo university is even better than igbinedion.

@ omosefe and co who are writing half half is that how you taught to writ in this so called UNIVERSITY ?
i couldn't read what u wrote.

i have to agree

the whole point of communication is so that OTHERS can understand what you are saying

@omosefe
do not presume that just because YOU understand WHAT YOU WRITE that everybody else does. Please drop all the short forms and write legibly

most of us had a headache reading what u wrote so you're argument for your ALMA MATER IGBINEDION was lost on us.

omosefe:

perhaps people are here to 'deem' the image of your school. but you aren't doing your school any favour by writing in such an appalling manner. Apparently the fact that the past few posts have been critical of your (dare i say) anti-social writing style doesn't faze you.
A less sinister explanation could be that you're actually posting from a GPRS enabled phone. If so, then maybe you can be forgiven,
Guess i still have that soft spot for corpers after all

U must be a real DUMBO not to understand omosefe's abrevs I understand them better than gblaze' borin fairy tale that rather made me reply this post

Good humour man

It's just like the secondary school, the school isn't good for education unless you want to go and play or something which is ridiculous. Go to Covenant University or other focused ones, Igbinedion is a horrible buisnessman and lack management abilities.

NO no for the school

what does efizy mean somebody please reply thanks. if your username is RADIANT don't reply
