whytediamond: Unfortunately, university is greatly influenced by the environment it is situated. Covenant is located in Nigeria, and bulk of the people teaching and doing other things there are Nigerians from these public universities. The admitted candidates are from Nigerian secondary schools.That seal its fate. If anything must develop in Nigeria, the general standard must be raised altogether. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Guys Nigeria as a whole is scam....I gladly registered to study computer engineering in UNILAG but when I got there...I noticed they teach electrical engineering to computer engineering students...as in we were forced to do it..we ve no option....cos. The household name is Electrical engineering under it we have computer engineering so literally...we learnt nothing from computer engineering itself...they use mouth to teach computer programning like c++, only c++ we did...no java or c sharp or c....sharp students as we re ..we went outside school to various centers to perfect and learn our programming very well...cos if we waited for unilag....God knows...so I dont agree that unilag is the best...and also..to me that list should be empty...no Nigerian schools is worth to teach engineering....if you studied engineering like I did...and you can make a calculator I dont mean scientific but normal addition and minus..pls raise ur hands....after we all sweated in making our projects..later later they threw it away in the dustbin...I mean potentials re In those project that could change Nigeria forever...but those ones threw it away...and they keep throwing it away set by set....wen we go for lab experiments...we use faulty machines all the time...after struggling to get ur readings...they will then tell you to scrap those readings...and they will give you their own readings...I mean the lab attendants does that all the time...they will tell you...they want you to have an idea on how is it done...well...any Nigerian that study engineering in any of those stated university above...ain't dumb...in fact if they re given the opportunity to study it abroad..my brother...all of them will pack first class...I mean they train us in harsh condition to learn engineering...they re even some calculative exams like Fourier and laplace...we werent allowed to use calcultor...bro...tell me...we then have somebody like prof mowete who can dash out of a class of 70...40 people F's..infact lemme stop cos if I continue I can't finish...the lie is too much and unbearable... 1 Like |

Our government has do something about this education sector .. From primary school to university everything is rubbish.. In Saudi Arabia you will have access to free education from primary school to all level. Without paying a dime. This is 3rd best university in the World Standford University and they still try and help there students. Not here in Nigeria

All he said,I don't care about. I can proudly say that despite the challenges,a Nigerian student can still beat a foreigner.We are actually just following the "La cram,La pour" policy in Nigerian universities.You are expected to give back what you were taught without any form of brainstorming or adding new ideas to the context or at least scribbling down everything in your own words. This to me is the greatest setback. 1 Like |

Ezigbonmadu: Here is what the VC said about spending. According to him, Our challenge in the university is there is no enough funding. No funding is enough but we are looking for adequacy in funding. For instance, this university spends N50 million monthly on power and government does not give us more than N120 million for over head annually. This money cannot pay my power cost for three months. “I have 50,000 students with half of them living on campus that I have to provide power and water for. An undergraduate student pays N20,000 as charges for the year and they want to take a degree that is equivalent to that of oxford. Is it realistic? And the government that tells them not to pay does not pay the balance. See the problem.? 1 Like 1 Share |

ct2: motikorede: JUSTICE4Nigeria: See all these people.... OK...say y'all are selling phones of N25000 each, and I come into yer shops, buy 3 phones , and insist on paying just N1000. That is what is happening in our government schools, and that is why ASUU keeps on going on strike. You cannot get a N600000 -the amount needed to train a Nigerian student in one year-degree at just N40000. The thing is...our universities need a lot of money. The overhead costs are going up....and the money in this year's budget is not enough. Forget TETFUND....our unis need TRILLIONS of naira to keep fees low and funding high. 2.Yes....VC went to school free of charge. When the guy was in school.....there were 80,000 university students in Nigeria. Now...there are 3 million and counting. And even then....people STILL PAID FEES. Heck...they even paid for the food they ate in cafeteria too. 1 Like 1 Share |

cochtrane: 1.Thanks for your reply, and for insulting me, 2.The university needs 600million ....for power each year. Now...can self sustenance get that money?Can fixing phones, or opening newspaper get that money.? Plus...ABU does have commercial enterprises..they have a Press, and they do pure water too. 3. Even then....it isn't enough. There is no such thing as free education. Just as you cannot buy a I phone x for 1000 naira, you cannot expect world class on school fees less than 200USD. Either fees go up....or taxes go up. And i speak as someone who in my ideal....fees would be N10000 PER ANNUM.. |

cochtrane: Denmark...28-51% income Germany 14-47% ICELAND 46% Max Norway 46% Sweden 59.7% Nigeria 24%max Any questions? Sauce That they have a highly diversified economy doesn't answer to the fact that education is cheap there. That point of yours is a red herring. Oh? Denmark PER CAPITA GDP : $56000 Nigeria per capita: $2,758 Diversification works.... Resource dependence has nothing to do with bad education in Nigeria; corruption has. In other words, the professor's argument does not hold water. Were Nigeria corruption-free, more money could flow from the government into universities, making quality education cheap; Not more money from the students. Yes, we have to deal with corruption, but that only brings in smaller amounts of cash to the universities. As someone said upthread...we have to diversify our economy in addition to fighting corruption. |

Ezigbonmadu:Your reasoning is odd Fiirst he did not say amount paid BY STUDENT.Whether the student pays or not somebody has to pay.It costs money to hire quality lecturers and fo infrastructure and when you work out the total cost of running a university by the number of students that gives you an average working cost per student. Whatever the cost of "QUALITY" is it is greater than 0.His argument is it is far greater than the 20000 naira figure he quoted/ Germany where you claim it is "FREE" does that mean there is no cost,no budget per student? I believe you must still be very young . There was a time when students did not sit on the floor and fighting got you expelled from Nigerian universities. When a Nigerian degree meant something. The truth of the matter is our universities are overcrowded. How can you talk about using resources well when universities are forced to admit way above their capacity . Government needs to be honest with people.Government cannot fund free education and cruciallyy government CANNOT manage universities. Universities need to be privatised 100% and government channel its budget into scholarships and those that cannot get scholarships either pay or get loans. Many of the degrees awarded have no employment value and people would do better learning trades Nigerian univesities still churn out some good research especially in agriculture. The truth of the matter is our system stifles merit. You cannot have academia that is meritocratic in a political environment of nepotism and paddypaddyis such as ours. When lecturers can be given 24 hours to vacate the premises and so on. The starting point is to remove universities100% from government and create an environment where they are competitive. Just yesterday they were debating a bill for yet another university and Buhari approved some money for another one while GEJ established several in one day. This is bogus and unrealistic. The Federal government cannot affod these universities and they end up underfunded and overcrowded 2 Likes |
