They live on credit that's why they rely heavily on the credit card system which they must pay back. We in naija use debit cards mostly hence your account must be well funded before you can make a purchase. My point is I believe in Nigeria. I'm not carried away by whatever happens in the West. Nigeria shall be great.

All these folks saying Nigeria shall be great , I laugh... How's she gonn' be great when there's deep hatred hovering around?, When there are no real leaders around?, When some folks believe that no matter what, they must rule?, I'm sure that folks back in the 1960's believed that Nigeria will be great, but now it seems that they were actually better than this present Nigeria, Are we moving forward or going backwards ?, Well, y'all can keep hoping... till the day you wave this world bye.

Makes me miss my uni days in the lecture theater with sophisticated sound and visual projection system abroad. Truth me told I was paying a tuition equivalent to 7 million naira per annum and a mac book was something we could buy easily with our student ID card following which apple awarded discounts and payment plans that was very favorable. Will be wrong of us to compare/expect this in our public universities because the money is simply not there. During my time the citizens got a subsidy from the government which made them pay about the equivalent of 2million naira while their government paid the balance of about 5 million naira. As a result there were limited spots for citizens due to the limited resources from the government.
On the other hand the average cost of tuition to a student in a Nigerian public university is 150k per annum (i guess). So we should not expect to have similar infrastructure or standard of education.

Stop decieving yourself. You are sounding like loan is bad. They have a better system and not fake lives. Nigeria is already great for few people--politicans and big businessman and so it be until there's reorganization

Hell no.

This is not what a *typical* classroom should be. Don't fall for the same line of thinking that led to the ill-advised Opon Imo of gov. Aregbesola. "High-tech" does not necessarily equal effective achievement of intended learning outcomes. Some classes will benefit from the use of laptops, but MOST will not, especially classes with a lot of mathematical formalism or abstraction. For those, laptops/slides are effective for passing across complex visualizations or demos, and little else. You'll be surprised how many top universities still hold the venerable chalkboard in hallowed esteem smiley

Apple is the most popular brand in laptop and computer and it's all devices are mots costly devices. But being as a costly brand it has maintain quality standard in the features of their devices. But sometimes these devices stop working or damage due to another reason and at that time you have to find a best apple repair technician who will help your apple laptop or computer to start working again normally and even better as before. And if you found yourself in the same situation then contact[url="http://www.24techsupport.in/apple-support-services.html"] Apple Laptop Repair in Gurgaon[/url] for repairing purpose.

a macbook is more than $1000 here. All our homework, research, registration and everything is done online. That's why. Nigeria is doing better than most countries if you don't know.

This comparison lacks depth. Firstly, the laptop was not bought for them by their government. Secondly, these are different socioeconomic environments. Different minimum wage, different per capita incomes. Thirdly, there's something called student discount through the NUS identity card.

Uncle, e nor cheap. A brand new present generation mac book starts from £800 in the UK. That's about 400k in naira. With the UK minimum wage, you need to work for at least 100 hours to afford a mac book.
