Meanwhile, as we await the event at large, we bring to you the literary donnybrook between the previous winners. They have been considered champions and have been lifted higher than other respective participants. Now is the time for us to know who is better, this or that, between the duo.

LASU representatives will be basing their arguments on Self Development while FUNAAB will be convincing us on why A Quintessential Nigerian Graduate is The Institution's product.

Back to the funaab team, they went past the strong intellectual tower of IBADAN POLYTECHNIC, which happened to be the First Polytechnic team in NAIRALAND INTERSCHOOL DEBATE, However we have four of them for this edition. Moreover the team Ibadanpoly ain't an underdog, they were so strong with Darrytoz and Sammyscholar Repping their citadel with much vibrancy,but just that team FUNAAB were so tactical I must say to get pass Ibadan Polytechnic. |

The discuss has been on for a good while, the rate of unemployment have continually increased, and then at the end of the rope the blame is reversed to the Nigerian youth for being unemployable. But in all, the few who are employable and have proven to be up to the task and have shown that in several ways, who then take the glory for such? The Institution or the Individual? Just as it occurs in a typical Nigerian home, when a child is caught as a prostitute or captured in the act of armed robbery, theft or any wrong act, the statement you will get from the father is "Can you see your Child?", but when the child is commended at the highest level or even over a little, you hear lines like "Come on my boy, that’s my girl, come to Daddy" and so on, same application in this topic, with the Institution as the father. It is general knowledge that the true Nigerian graduate can stand tall notwithstanding where he finds himself; the Institution not in any way should claim glory over this. I adamantly maintain the position in support of Self-Development in the topic today, "Quintessential Nigerian Graduate - A product of Self-Development or The Institution". The premise for my stand is one which is relational in all ways, acceptable by all true visional persons, supported by all informed citizens and unobjectionable by all active or once active players in the industry. In order to maintain a true and accurate picture of the word Quintessential I made a consultation to the oxford learners dictionary which readily defined the word to mean, "representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class". Self-Development on the other hand means "the process by which a person's character or abilities are gradually developed". A quintessential Nigerian graduate is one who operates effectively with and upon a body of knowledge of sufficient depth to begin professional practice, is prepared for life-long learning in pursuit of personal development and excellence in professional practice, is an effective problem solver, capable of applying logical, critical, and creative thinking to a range of problems, can work both autonomously and collaboratively as a professional, is committed to ethical action and social responsibility as a professional and citizen, communicates effectively in professional practice and as a member of the community and demonstrates international perspectives as a professional and as a citizen. To say that the most perfect Nigerian graduate is a product of the institution would simply be a situation of implying a Mango tree producing Fresh Apples; the impossibility of this is a known fact. You only become a product of what is put into you, in the computer language it is called "garbage in, garbage out". On the following points I maintain my stand. Just as a finger cannot be stained with oil and the other fingers remain clean, same in this case, if the institution is responsible for the effectiveness and standard of a quintessential graduate then a greater percentage would be of such standard, Instead what we have is a handpick of quintessential Nigerian graduates and a flood of "half-baked" graduate as they are referred to. It is generally said that Nigerian graduates are unemployable, still we get to see a good number who counter this statement and prove it false by their achievements, and these same individuals are within the same institution. We get to see few Nigerian graduates go out and outsmart their counterpart from other Nationalities, or would we overlook Nigerian graduates who steps out the shores of the country for their Master's program and get recognized for academic excellence, the likes of Shamsuddeen Magaji, best graduate in a Malaysian university in the 2015 convocation, scoring the maximum 4.0 grade point at his Master program in Law, a second class upper division and overall best student in law at the University of Maiduguri, Nigeria in 2008/2009 academic session and 2011 second class upper graduate from Nigeria Law School. It is always just a few, a few who have gone the extra mile to make the difference, a few who have decided to break from the shell of failed institution and prove the point I stand here to state today. How can the Institution be responsible for a quintessential Nigerian graduate, when it is no longer news how frequent the institutions are shut down due to industrial actions, it is no longer hidden facts that even the institutions lack laboratories and where they do by chance have one, it is not well equipped, simply put up for beautification. Practicals even in the technical colleges comes like seasons, practicals have been replaced by paper work and theoretical teachings, it is also known fact that the living condition in the institutions is never conducive, lack of electricity in the institution is one example, and the few and shallow laboratory practicals would need to be carried out, you find students standing to receive lectures, the libraries if they exist at all are not adequately equipped, internet access is an episode that should not even be discussed as it is not even in view, how then is the institution making research encouraged, rather they make it boring and disliked. Prof. Tony Afejuku former Head of Department- English and Literature and poet In Uniben stated, "decay is setting in”. It is clear that the Institution is a failing one struggling for survival, how then can someone who need medical attention adequately attend to another in same situation correctly? It is never done, self-development have being the key overtime and till now. In furtherance, the institution cannot be said to be responsible for a quintessential Nigerian graduate as even our curriculum does not make out plans to achieve that. You stressfully go through the institutions loaded with courses which are not in any way relevant, related, or useful to your course of study, thereby overloading the brain unnecessarily. Without apologies, it is known that our curriculum needs a total review. The institutions even from design are only to serve as a guide for individual efforts to be added to achieve the main aim. The qualities of a quintessential graduate is not in any means captured in the institutional plan, it is solely as a result of self-development. The quintessential Nigerian graduate is one who is up to date on issues that pertain to his discipline. What is thought in our institutions today is far from what the practice demands, as there is an ever changing demand in reality, even Prof. Julius Okojie, NUC executive secretary attest to this. In the country today, it is unfortunate that what we have in the institution is a situation whereby those who are to impact knowledge to students are not even in per with the current developments in such fields, using the old and backdated methods learnt In the 80's to impact, how then if not for self-development can a quintessential graduate emerge in such situation. This amounts to why you find a graduate who has just been employed and is made to undergo series of training before he can resume working because the required up-to-date knowledge is lacking. The fact remains, "nemo dat quod non habet" which means, you cannot give what you don’t have. The quintessential Nigerian graduate is a product of self-development, burning out the candles to study, having to go out of his way to get the practical of all being thought in class through internship programs, spend a lot of the few resources available to access the internet to get updated methodologies and current state of his profession, never restricts himself to the story tail being delivered in the lecture hall, or get weighed down by the unnecessary and frequent recesses or breaks, but rather, put them to effective and profitable use, overlooking the poor grade that is awarded after rigorous study because of non participation in shady deals called exam runs but focused on the goal set up high by him, this is a quintessential Nigerian graduate, how then should the discouraging institution be mentioned? It has been globally established that the average Nigerian Student posses all traits of a world-class graduate, but for the failure of our institution. This is better understood when Nigerian Students go to standard institutions for their undergraduate program, we hear it all in the news ranging from, 20-year-old Delta-Born Merrilyn Akpapuna in 2013 at Dillard University, Victor Olalusi in 2015 at Russian National Research Medical University amongst so many others. Having seen an institution which has failed to meet up to the average standard expected, how then can such produce a quintessential graduate? It's more of saying you saw a goat barking in your street. "Res Ipsa locuto" interpreted, the fact speaks for itself. With the perfect chronological arrangement of my firm position, it is unequivocally tenable to ascertain at this point that the quintessential Nigerian graduate is a product of self-development and not the Institution.
