One very big problem Nigerians have is celebrating mediocrity. Covenant University or the so called OAU are not even among the top 1000 universities in the world checking any university rating what so ever. Still some folks are satisfied making silly comparison. To even compare a BSc to a PhD which is effectively what this argument is trying to say is total bullocks. Covenant University and OAU are both part of the Nigerian educational system facing similar challenges and are vetted by the same university commission. 3 Likes |

I have just one question to ask those who support private Universities: how many senior professor private universities had. caterial to justify here is years of teaching experience there professor have. How many of their international publications do they have published that it can be justify their efficiency. How many personal researches there professors has able to carry outed? |

9jacrip: The bottom line is most Nigerian degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on. Just as you dont take degrees from the above Universities seriously, in my company we no longer take Nigerian graduates seriously, we employ them only mostly for admin and clerical functions and look to foreign graduates for professional positions. We wont admit it publicly but thats the rule. |

Covenant University and OAU are both part of the Nigerian educational system facing similar challenges and are vetted by the same university commission Thank you, dear. You're on point. I don't really admire a few OAU students for one thing: they are too noisy and boastful. Mind you I'm a proud product of OAU, but it doesn't mean I should belittle others. Private universities are good in their own way. The problem of some people is parochialism, i.e, when one has not travelled out. In the north, people there see ABU as the only university in Africa, so do people in the east see UNN. But beyond Nigeria, how do those universities compete? No point for looking down on others. Some of the private universities employ the best lecturers in the field, even poaching from federal universities. Some people want their children to attend good private universities, but money is a hindrance. |

Tobi0908575: Don't mind us. As if we all are not being taught by the same set of lazy lecturers and tired professors. In the developed countries, they often depend on university professors for solution to any little problem they often face. Yet, those professors don't fail their students for no just reasons. But reverse is the case here in Nigeria. A mere lecturer 2 in the economics department believes he knows it all, yet the country's economy is in a 'Nigeria' state. 3 Likes |

mrwonlasewonie: Which of your sisters reported that lecturers bleeped them in OAU for grades. You think OAU is a state University. Minimum of 3 different lecturers handles just one particular coarse. How successful is for a student to have her way with the 3 to 6 of the lecturers. Please stop typing english. Its better you dnt say nothing than to write words based on assumptions.

Standing5: I would be very honest with you and try to be unbiased. Cheating with phones happen in private unis, matter of fact one of my interns who is an undergrad of covenant tells funny stories about what happens there. Sorting and bribing are non existent there though. However there are fair number of public unis where you cant buy grades, I graduated from one of such. Anyways am not here to lie that all is well with public unis but you should not paint private unis to be what they arent. Truth is there is problem in the entire education sector. Well nonetheless let me speak of my assesment of private unis based on my experience with their graduates and undergrads. I am a civil engr, work in a consulting firm and I happen to have interns from covenant, afe babalola and landmark under me currently. I have had lots previously. What i can say is there a good number of good students in private univeristies but not as a result of some miracle tutorship there. A bright student is bright and just needs a little mentorship or push to be genius. I have had interns who seemed to have good grades, grades that if a federal uni student had, he would be equivalent to a genius and yet there wasnt much lustre to their capacity. I am not saying they were dull but i wasnt blown away at all. I have equally seen lots of below average ones, not like public unis dont have such, only difference is these ones don't have the long list of carry overs you would be sure they would bag if in a plublic uni. Further interactions with them have been quite revealing, one of them back then confessed he realised he had the grades but hadnt the knowledge. We spoke at length about the fashion of teaching in his school and i must say i have reservations on a number of things. I even went through his e-lecture notes, not what i expected it to be. Well in my usual tradition, i retook him through most of the courses he needed good understanding of, so i could plunge him into the pratical aspect of structural engineering. He learned very fast i must confess that he is even smarter than some public uni graduates. He said he regretted studying at his sch, he said this when he realised i graduated from a university his dad stopped him from attending despite having gained admission. Again another misconception, he thought my university made me all, he failed to see that all they did was set the standard of examination high and not standard of learning. The problem with private unis is often the pressure to have a decent mean perfomance across the class unlike public uni where no one cares If the entire class fails. This often results in sub standard examinations and easy course work. Then there is the problem of having kids from wealthy background, kids who do not see the need to study hard for a better tomorrow. Many public uni students do not love academics but when they remember where they are from, they work hard to succeed against all odds. You made mention of labs, oh yeah some good private unis have great labs, labs as good as those in UNN, UI, Unilag, OAU or even better. My uni had labs but did we even understand the real life applications and scientific importance of what we did in them? How many research papers was i able to publish in my 5years in school? Am very sure my answer is the same as all the private uni students i have encountered. There are advantages of studying in a private uni, like you said you would be assured you would never be marked down, there isnt cultism(though there is drug problem in some) and the most important is the connections a student can make. One is able to make friends with kids of the elites, this is as important as grades because life is a connection game.. Who you know is some times more important than what you know. Other than these, there is nothing fantastic about them, just the usual poor nigerian educational institution. A public uni grad bad mouthing a private uni grad is just a jobless fellow, we are all victims of the country we find ourselves in. 3 Likes |

Threecrownz: Getting the job is not the issue my brother. It's sustaining the given position. Promotion will come, competition would always arise.

And why d same fed unis end up representing nigeria in intl competitions. U cant pay that heavy amount of fees and fail na. They would sack d lecturer and private unis have holiday classes to make up for failed courses. Wat a joke. A lecturer in OAU turned down a job in bowen coz dey told him he had to give half of his exam questions as practise questions to d students. His conscience couldnt take it.

eyinjuege: Nah you no learn well. When your mates where learning, where were you. Google Doctor. Omalu and see. You are a shame to federal Universities. Are you sure you graduated from a Fed university because I dont understand why you left a fed uni to enter into a private one. Except you left the country. 30% of rich parents of fed uni graduates sends their kids outside the country to further. Its easier and those fed unis are more recognised than privates a 100% to 15%. Those student finish in flying colours after going their. Even graduates of mere Polythecnic. How come yours is a sad case. Sorry ooo |
