Whether you give 1000 reasons why university is rated above polytechnic, it's never an excuse for not attaining heights in life..

Hardwork and your mindset is the bedrock of success and not HND or Bsc... I have never regretted attending a polytechnic because I've got goals, dreams and visions in life.. When you don't have a map for your life people who aren't even worth talking to you will start giving you advice on how to live your life..



Nothing is as important as making money in life.. Let me tell you something, a rich illiterate is more respected than a broke PhD holder.. That's why Dangote is much more respected than Prof Wole Soyinka anytime any day.


We are in a country where the future of the youths lies in the hands of the ministers...

Person wey buy clothes from boutique go discriminate against person wey wear okrika;

Person we go OAU go claim superiority over person wey go OOU;

Person wey dey use Toyota Camry go claim superiority over person wey dey use Peujout 504;

Person wey dey use Bold5 go discriminate person wey dey go Asha 501 ... Whaaaaat a country !!!!

LuckyLadolce:
On point. But let me correct vanguard as regard
CGPA 5.0 against 4.0. This is how it works... In some polytechnics like the one i graduated from, to get an A you need 75% over 100, while in uni, with 70 you have your A. This factor shld be considered if you have to compare CGPA between polytechnics and universities. I stand to be corrected.

Bro, I'm an HND holder, I've got a job many university graduates are craving for.. What about that? You can't force one thing in life and that's SUCCESS!

maduinfo:
madam, Nigeria needs poly products.from experience, they are preferred by multinationals.my advice is, whoever wants poly education should go for Engineering Technology.

Hardwork and your mindset is the bedrock of success and not HND or Bsc... In fact, hunger will be your surname if you think Bsc is an automatic passport to getting rich... I have never regretted attending a polytechnic because I've got goals, dreams and visions in life.. When you don't have a map for your life people who aren't even worth talking to you will start giving you advice on how to live your life, hence, you start getting worked up over irrelevant topics like this.

I have two to three friends who are graduates of University of Ibadan today without writing JAMB from the onset: the requirement at their satellite campus as at then was five credits in NECO; just paid their fees and you are good to go. Through this, the dullest among the dullards in my class while in secondary school is now a mathematician.



Get your fact right.

Was enjoying your writeup till you goofed by saying dangote is more respected than someone who won a Nobel laureth prize.....

This is one sensitive area the government have failed to address all this while. University graduates versus Polytechnic graduates. While there has been a good number of University graduates that has graduated and gone ahead to do very well in life, the same could also be said about many Polytechnic graduates. It all goes down to individual approach to life and how hungry they are about their success. No school in the world will give you what you don't already have in you. They can only build on the foundation you already have from your primary schools and secondary schools.

In my own case for instance, I got an admission into University of Ibadan to study Geography while Federal Polytechnic Bida offered me an admission to study Accounting at the same time (My very first admission examination I will ever wrote). After much consultation, I decided to go into the Polytechnic to study accounting. So, it was a choice of course that drove me into polytechnic rather than my inability to pass the JAMB examination.

I graduated from the Polytechnic after five years successfully with upper credit. I got a permanent job during my service year and immediately enrolled for my ICAN examination which I passed with distinction (first attempt basis all though). I never repeated a paper. I will later obtain my MBA degree from Lagos State University.

I have worked in an International NGO, an Oil company and the two leading Telecom companies in Nigeria all based on merit and not through any connection.

I later migrated to the United State where I obtained my Ph.D degree and run my own Consulting firm.

I'm sharing my personal story to encourage someone out there who is thinking that he or she can't make it because of Polytechnic qualification. It is all about your belief system. I never experienced any discrimination through out my career years because of my polytechnic qualification.

Make use of whatever is available to you now and cross over along the line. Don't waste your productive years sitting at home waiting for University admission. Belief in yourself and work hard. You can be whatever you want in life. Polytechnic or University.

Having said all these, I will encourage the government of the day to find a lasting solution to this problem. Some good polytechnics should be upgraded to University of Technology level while the under-performing ones should be scraped. Let us have one universally recognized institution of learning. This way, our upcoming ones future will no longer be mortgaged.
