Proud Oau alumnus

No reference to landmark University, yet u use their Senate building as your picture

You may not be vwr

pls I need updated schools fees for covenant university.. I'm planning to do direct entry, willingness o study computer science

Heard ya next pls

This OP is funny. You mentioned just like two or three competitions to drive your point. Do you want UI, OAU, Unilag people to start talking about competitions they WIN? However, many private institutions are doing better than public, agreed but few of them not as many as you mentioned

Many students in private universities cannot pass jamb

THE TYPE OF QUESTION THEY ASK IN PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES:

WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR SCHOOL?
(A) BABCOCK

(B) OPTION A

(C) OPTION A&B

(D) OPTION C

Na question be that?

Thats what i heard too when i was in a private University (Madonna)
Now i graduated and ran my MBA in OAU Ife, how come i top the public school graduates?
It is hilarious to ever think you know better than a private school graduate.
School does not study for people! Individuals study themselves.

Mmmm

Public universities are heavily subsidized by government . Imagine unilag paying 35 k as school fees. That's less than 100 dollars.assuming unilag has 30000 students , that comes to about 3 million dollars. Of course unilag generates revenue from other means apart from tuition but tuition is the main part and I am using undergraduate fees as an example. Do you think 5 million dollars(assuming revenue from other sources is 2 million ) not to even talk of three million is enough for unilag alone?. They will pay over 800 staff both academic and non academic and buy vehicles and improve infrastructure and conduct research and buy diesel etc. Professor okebukola once said in channels tv some Years ago as nuc head that if government should stop funding unilag, the averaage tuition fee will be at least 300,000 naira per session. However due to the poverty level in Nigeria, government has no option. So before you think your public university education is cheap, think again . It's not cheap. It is just being subsidized. That being said, with the exception of Lagos business school,no higher institution in Nigeria is close to global standards and of course Lagos business school is private and Damn expensive because like I said earlier it is not subsidized by the government

Private Universities are meant for the rich and only those that can afford it, it's also meant for the lazy rich kids who couldn't pass simple jamb or post UTME.
Even at that we still have the rich coming to Federal Universities to study because they know it's worth. Using OAU as an example ; I know many Govtt officials even law makers who come to the school to get one degree or the other. Infact we have rich parents who still send their kids to these Federal schools cos they know it's worth.
I can't imagine myself leaving OAU cert for one convenant cert when am not mad. Even in the aspect of ICT Internet access has been made so easy these days so u don't have to wait for your school to give you a laptop and free WiFi before you'll do your research. Private schools are comfortable no doubt but in terms of research and academic aspects please don't go there.

The only way to settle oau cert and covenant cert is to meet on a level playing field. If you study accounting in oau and I study my own in covenant, let us both do our acca or maybe cfa. If we both pass at first attempt then we can agree we are both good. If I pass and you fail or the other way around, we can also draw conclusions. The mistake people in public universities make is they believe education should be difficult. It shoudnt. Edcuatuon should be relevant. I've seen brilliant students from oau and unilorin graduate with 2:2. When we all met in the UK for masters, we all had distinction . Does that mean unilorin is better than Warwick ? Education is all about relevance not difficulty and only way you can judge is when graduates from both schools meet on a level playing ground

Furthermore, OAU has been churning out graduates for decades so they have a richer and higher pool alumni hence the perception people have. Give Babcock and covenant graduates more time . Babcock gradauted it's first set in 2003..that's just 14 years ago. Give us 6 years more then you will know how far. Even some organizations specify Babcock and covenant gradautes . So this oba awon university crap won't last much longer. Past glory will soon end.

I don't believe CU does direct entry. But full time school fees is 700k to 800k while part time is 150k flat.

U're right. In unilag,management and art students pay as low as #14,500, engineering and sciences pay just #19,500.

At first, I thought you're so reasonable. . But I was totally wrong, it's obvious your brain is like bungalow, you got nothing upstairs.

Can you imagine. That's 50 dollars. That's as good as them being on scholarship. That's about 4 dollars per month . I bet you they spend more on airtime monthly. Thank God for government subsidy. If not some public universities will even charge more than private universities.

I did not get admitted to CU's first batch with 234 in Jamb(2011) and with a very high post jamb score so I don't know what you mean. The following year CU's least cut off mark was 215 so you are wrong about it being a place for ppl who couldn't pass Jamb. Lastly, do you know that webonetrics ranking is a measure of research relevance and for the past three editions CU has been second only to UI. Lastly, for the three times pressid was conducted CU came number 1. So please stop bragging about OAU that does not even have a profile on Times Higher Education.

Gibberish! Things have changed bro. If u said these some 5 years ago, u would have made sense. What exactly is in OAU? Nothing but stress and bedbugs with sadistic lecturers? what is wrong in studying with comfort? OAU students should even shut their traps cos incessant industrial action has cripple the little hope the world has in them, unfortunate! Public schools are now a shadow of what they used to be and privates are taking over.

Hope u're aware OAU is just about to start 2016/17 session. Even the students are tired and psychological disturbed. I have friends there and the pressure on them now is just too much.

Wonderful write-up! People should just be enlightened. I hate it when some people come here and attack private schools even without knowing a thing about them. Them say! Them say!! Them say!!! But they have never witnessed it or probably its been long they witnessed but they don't know the current happenings there.

na because of dose DUDE wey in power nw ......

This issue again eh?

If private schools are better, we shall know in the next 10 years.

No be fight ma, why una like argument like this?

Exactly. I'm a student of the sch and sometimes, I think we pay less for what we enjoy. Free Internet access in almost all classrooms in the faculty of engineering where I belong (can't say of other faculties anyways),libraries and all hostels. Air conditioning systems in all classrooms and projectors with electronic boards and a whole lot of other things. The funny thing is the maintenance culture is high and spoilt devices are easily replace but I tell u, if the fee is increased by one penny, students will shutdown the school immediately.

We want everything for free in this part of the world.

This post is stupid
