I disagree with you. Buhari, Babangida, Obasanjo, Abdusalami and GEJ never were in those pictures in the broader sense. Nigeria's transition was military. The academicians were never allowed to display their knowledge to develop Nigeria. They were compelled under guns and crusty discipline to act. There was war and many coups and Nigerians lived in fear. being educated doesn't mean you are authorised to stipulate for the government.

franciskaine:

I dont have time for this. The last time I checked this is a thread where I aired my opinion. Oga please face your front. Thanks as you comply.

Idydarling:
no WiFi, no WhatsApp, no Facebook, no internet...that's not life na

banmee:


Airing your opinion does not mean you should start spilling garbage. It could be toxic. It takes one s.tupid person to influence the rest of mankind.

Mopricelezz:


What is the meaning of this? What garbage?
Why are you acting frustrated? Maybe you should reread the thread.
Infact I'm so not doing this with you. Please Swerve

My Goodness, education standards have fallen really badly in Nigeria. One Nigeria is hampering the progress of the Yorubas, we are too forward thinking for this contraption called Naija, and all its wahala......
See how far we already were since the pre-independence days, and the days of proper regional governments.

scholes0:


If it wasn't owned by Yorubas, why then wasn't it located in your Obscure gully?
nonsense.

Igboid:


Those acadamicians were the civil servants that help the ruling class to siphon and loot the public wealth, they kept whispering selfish and exploitive words into the words of the corrupt political class, helping them behind the scene to invent exploitative policies.

herbie27:
That word is now a cliche.

I asked to get a measure of you, now i have and i'm so disappointed.

franciskaine:
so the University of Nigeria Nsukka is also owned by the Igbos? Let me leave u to urself.

scholes0:


UI was originally a British creation in Western Nigeria that preceded every other school, while UNN is a completely nigerian funded and built institution, otondo.
If the Western Region was not worth enough to host it, the same institution might have as well been built by the brits in Calabar or Nkalagu.

Being an undergraduate in a university is a great feat but it cannot be compared to being an undergraduate in the 1960; then it was considered epochal.

Ask people who went to universities during the period when you’ll be lucky to find 20 students in a class and they will tell you education during those days was worth it. They’ll tell you there were no distractions and it was about work and play and work again.

The University College which later became the University of Ibadan is the first university in the country and being a student in the university was attaining an impressive height.

A lot has changed in the Nigerian academic system especially in the tertiary institution. Gone are the days when school cafeterias provided balanced diet meal to students and the only thing they needed to worry about was getting the food from the plate to the mouth. The days where students could afford to seat anywhere in class because they was enough space to go round; when student hostels were cleaner than 5 star hotels and each student got his own space and there was no need to squat.

Students nowadays will tell you there was no better time to go to school than now. To them, the old universities were too strict as students had to sometimes wear robes like they were at Hogwarts. They say undergraduates in those days were treated like secondary school students with strict everyday rules to guide them.

Truly, the present day has better facilities to help one learn better with much less effort. The whole issue about fall in standard of education is a reflection of the fall in the standards of our value system. In those days, students were convinced that if they could learn better and perform better than their peers, the society would recognize and reward them better than their peers; and so it was. That was all the motivation they needed to be serious with their studies.

I need not tell you what has changed in our time, and why students are apparently unserious with their studies.

By and large, believe me, students are more intelligent nowadays, but systemic failure in the nation has made most people to lose hope in education.

I'm really sad 'cos there appears to be no hope for this country in the future, going by the current trend.
