If you can't afford education try ignorance

Sleekyshuga:
@ Skarlett, Uniport still know their way to enriching their pocket ..

After paying the #45,000 school fees, we still paid #6,800 for peculiar charges ..

And their 'Almighty Senegalese' convocation gown is #12,500.. If only they were giving us the gown to own ..

M**rra f**kers ..

JoeBlocks:
How much was your school fees when you were still in school?

Sleekyshuga:

I paid #45,000 @ my finals with a peculiar fee of #6,800 (whatever that means)..

DropShot:

How many parents earn 18k?

Some of you just comment for the "likes" from your fellow ignorant members.

LaExpert:


...and what happens to the ones that earn 18K?

Shouldn't they be considered?
Or are they not Nigerians?

Unibenfucker:


It seems you are a uniben product

DropShot:

In reality, no govt worker earns 18k per month. The minimum wage is the basic entry pay for cleaners, drivers, messengers, and likes. It doesn't include their other allowances.

And university education is not for everyone and definitely not free anywhere in the world. Acquiring it comes with toiling.

JoeBlocks:
Wow!. This is amazing, how in the space of 10 years school fees increased tremendously.

I paid N7,700 as my school fees from my year one, to my final year.

LaExpert:


The 18K isn't the real issue.
How many people have the government provided good jobs for? Do you know the unemployment rate in the country?

In reality, a very large percentage of Nigerians live in poverty.

The government won't be helping matters by increasing the cost of the most important development tool.

I'm totally disappointed at the bold!
If you deserve university education, then everyone else deserve it; even the poor...you're not so special.

Sleekyshuga:

My dear, times have changed .. Uniport school fees increases yearly..

You mean you paid #7,700 in year 1, and subsequently? Thought year 1 school fees is always the greatest because of the acceptance fee?

JoeBlocks:
In my year one, I paid the total sum of 27,000 Naira, including school fees, acceptance fees, matriculation gown, bla bla bla. The school fees was 7,700 Naira all through my stay in school.

Dahkogrin007:
dix govt better stp it foolishness at d level it is right now and not increase it further

Sleekyshuga:

If only that could be said of our time .. I paid over #59,000 plus (can't place the exact figure) in my year 1, excluding my matriculation gown fee..

Presently, new intakes pay as high as #120,000 for school fee and acceptance fee..

10 years? Senior Alumnus of the school ..

marvelito:

for a uniben student from 200l up. 45k will pay three session school fees. if they want to harmonize they shld use uniben fees as reference to others. I personally paid less than 100k for tuition fees from first yr to final yr in my days in uniben.i paid 26k, 7700, 9700, 9700. U can see its far less than 100k even plus 10k late payments sometimes.

DropShot:

My post that triggered this was specifically a response to insinuation that most parents earn 18k. So, I end that issue here.

You needn't disappointed for a stmnt of fact that university education is not for everyone. It has always been a fact and it will remain one till end of time.

Not getting university education doesn't mean one's life is incomplete or worthless. Many people attended technical colleges, many engaged in trading, others opted for special education just to fit into the society and many later turned out better than some that got university education.

Think through my posts before replying.

JoeBlocks:
Wow!!!. 120K for freshers? Bloody hell!. Talk about milking the masses legitimately.

Lol. Senior alumnus. Did I tell you the 700 Naira in the 7,700 Naira was S.U.G dues, which you pay along with your school fees?

School has changed a lot, since the time I was there... Money seems to be the focus of everything now..

malton:


Harmonising the fee will only exacerbate the already bad situation. It will make many worse off than they were before.

Lots of federal unis still charge below 20,000.

Just give them a ceiling.

God bless my good ABU, I paid approx. 17k as fees from start to finish. I think that's how much they still charge to this day in the faculty of social sciences.

LaExpert:


1. Your initial post was a response to someone that rightly pointed to the fact that the Govt has not increased the minimum wage, not necessarily insinuating that most parents earn 18K...of which I asked what happens to the ones that earn 18K...and you pointed it out that those who earn that sum are messengers, drivers, cleaners etc.

Do you mean those ones don't have kids?
Or are their kids undeserving of University education if they want it?


2. Everyone that wants university education deserves to get it. If my father works as a driver in a government establishment and earns 18K, how do you expect the family to cope?

Must the poor ditch formal education because it is expensive? Are they not Nigerians?


Look beyond your own condition and interest and see from others' perspective. Many Nigerians live in poverty, Unemployment rate is high! These are REAL issues.
