So It is GEj that caused it right?

Am a beneficiary of free education from elementary to tertiary education but good things does not come cheap. I school in Unilag and also had the opportunity to visit Chicago state university, University of Illinois at Chicago and i can tell the different. Free education does come with sub standard and low quality of education. America is the most prosperous country in the world and her citizen pays for tertiary education.
As long as we want free education, we should also expect low quality cos tertiary education does not come cheap. My opinion.

Mister, u are very wrong!!! TETFUND has nothing to do with that. It is meant for infrastructural development across federal universities in Nigeria.

Flets:
Sometimes I ask what Buhari intends to do differently.

Even in the proposed fight against corruption, all we hear are jails, prosecution and punitive measures which cannot eliminate corruption in itself. So much noise, hype and propaganda. Without strengthening our institutions and putting in systems to check sharp practices like GEJ was doing ..... corruption will continue unabated across board

It might take some time for the average Nigerian to discern but very sensible minds understand already that we lost GEJ ....... he didn't lose.

fekbam:

the tetfund can not be converted to personal use...the monies are paid tru the institutions directly into the account of the beneficiaries..the beneficiaries must be studying in the country or overseas at postgraduate levels, they also sign bonds to serve the institutions on the completion of their studies.

Thanks, I perfectly understand your point from A to Z but I guess you know the standard of living in United State is higher than that of Nigeria.


The minimum income of an average American is incomparable with a Nigerian. The exchange rate explain it all.


Nigerian workers minimum wages is 18,000/month. That's $90 a month, even in Zimbabwe, as callous Mugabe is, workers earn a minimum of $300.


Petrol is sold for N100, cost of food and living is generally high. A man earn $90 and he has 3 children. A federal university in Nigeria today pays $500 excluding other necessary fees. How will this man survive this?


$500 and student still pay, yet the standard is not something to write about. You will understand properly if you know the standard of universities like Cape Town university, University of Johanesburg, University of Cairo. Even Kenyan university now ranks higher than ours.


Do we really have a solid future?

parkeration:


What is this one saying? You just proved to me that you are daft. Do you have electricity in your house. Bet you have a Gen set. Do you have water in your house provided by the govt. Bet you have a borehole or well you get water from. What is the rate of unemployment in this country. Are things meant to be like this? No. After all we pay our taxes. What are the taxes used for? There are so many countries worldwide who do not have as much resources as we have,England for eg, who depend on taxes alone. Power, water and a whole lot more have been and are bring provided for their inhabitants. And you cone here and spew rubbish. Abeg park well.

crownprince102:

What was a man with doctorate degree with no thesis able to do?

He only downgraded its standard. Ask GEJ himself if he ever went on 2 week strike during his university days but you went on 6 month and you still want him to continue. Are you with your right senses?


Stupidity is when you stay idle for 6 month at home and yet the aim wasn't achieve and you shout "GEJ till 2019".

Curiouscity:


To use for what? The truth is most Nigerians wants to be spoon fed. Go to tetfund webesite http://www.tetfund.gov.ng/index.php/projects/reconcilled-projects you will see money for capital and developmental projects lying idle. All the money for conference attendance, publication and research grants have all been collected. Do you know why? Most VC's, deans, HODs or even lecturers can attend imaginary conferences, recycle research project and get funding yearly. But the money for capital projects need evidence of execution before another one is given. There is high level of corruption in our tertiary institutions. Is it too hard to show what you used the money for last year and demand for a new one?
Everyone hears that government is not funding research in our universities, who collects all the research grants listed?

Must the government do everything for us? Or put it differently, who are the government? Is it not me, U, our dad, mum, uncles, friends that are working in all these places? We are just too hard to please. Give the whiteman such an opportunity, U see what he uses it for.

xandy84:
First, we neeed a structural change in Nigeria. The government should only give students loans and grants not offering free education in tertiary level. What free education does is cheat the tax payers. For example. A rich family would still attend Unilag and pay same tuition paid my minimum wage worker..
I think the solution is total privatalization of the education system while the government subsidizes and give grants to indigent students and parents who can afford their wards tuition should pay for the education recieve. Doing such will allow the sector enough money for infastructure and research development.
In advance countries, tertiary education is completely deregulated and you know the cost of education you recieving and the government gives grants which is free and loans which is repayable with little interest. Is time Nigeria government tow this part of save the education sector from going from worse to complete disaster.

Privatisation of Education would be the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. How many people can afford to send his children to the available private universities we have where they pay 2.5million per session? This will eventually leave 90% of Nigerian students as drop outs while 90% of the incoming ones would not bother going to the university.

You talked about subsidizing for the indigent ones. That is not possible because 90% of Nigerian students are indigent students and the govt, who haven't been able to offer scholarships to 1% of them, will surely not be able to cater for 90%. Also, anything government is a slow process that may take years to obtain what you should access within months. Those who did IT ten years back are still not paid their 'chicken change' of #15,000.

This country is blessed with 'MULTIPLE PROBLEMS'

Ibime:


More reason you need Buhari. Was War Against Indisciplined not implemented to teach you unruly citizens how to behave? Sometimes when a goat is stubborn, you have to flog him . . . which is exactly what Buharis soldiers did. . . flog the goats amongst us till they learn how to behave like civilised people.

straight2point:

You don't sound educated, you would not have commented like this if you are educated....the truth is that, this shows that this man has a genuine intention for this country to be transformed...and not fighting for his selfish interest. learn to read between the lines and don't allow religion or politics to becloud your sense of judgement and reasoning.

Have u ever taken time to ask yourself if Bill gate comes from a poor background? Also, if bill gate has no source of finance initially, he wouldn't have been great. What bill gate invented required a starting capital and it's the starting capital I am talking about here oga Ade.
