5 Most Underrated Courses In Nigerian Tertiary Institutions by YhungPablo(m): 12:54pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
There have been series of arguments about the superiority of some courses in Nigerian Tertiary institutions: some students feel their course of study is more important and special than others. Don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you with my opinion about that- maybe I will put that forward another day. Some courses, students or departments in our schools have been facing this inferiority tag. Because of this, some lose interest in their course or ashamed but we still have the proud ones who don’t care. I still don’t know what people see wrong with these courses that they tend to underrate but here is the list: The 5 Most Underrated Courses in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are 1. History People don’t just see reasons why someone will go and spend four years or more to study past events. History students are always tagged archaic; their discussions and studies are always based on passed dates and events. You might be tempted to feel superior to someone who all what he has to offer is events that happened even before Christ (BC) in this 21st century. 2. Agriculture Agriculture students are popularly called “farmers”. I don’t know why people look down on this course? Maybe because you always see them in campus with farming tools and in their farm. I am sure others undermine them because they are naive about the fortune they can make with the knowledge of the course. People are going back to Agriculture and embracing it daily, so I believe this should be out of this list soon. 3. Nigerian Languages “Hey babe! What Course are you studying in school?” and her reply was “Yoruba Language”. My friend bursted into laughter telling me why didn’t she just go to a typical village and mingle with the villagers to learn their language, instead of coming to school. Students studying Nigerian Languages faces this downgrade almost every day in school. 4. Education Courses Because of the poor treatments being accoladed to teachers in Nigeria, students studying any education course are degraded-students see them as another “suffer head” teacher to be. They have forgotten that without teachers, they won’t be where they are presently and we now have successful teachers making it big. 5. Zoology/Botany Zoology and Botany are different branches of Biology and what they do is to study plants and animals. Because zoology is related with “Zoo”, other students assumes all the students studying it will end up in the Zoo. Do you agree with this List? – Drop your Comments.

Education courses are so looked down upon. Nigerians need counselling; they need psychologists. Come to fitness and understanding your bodies and staying healthy, you need Health educators. You love Ronaldo but hate courses that assist with fitness. We ought to change our mindset towards courses that we don't like. 1 Like |

YhungPablo: 1. Agriculture? Really? Do you know about the course called FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY? cocacola, nestle, uac foods, 7up, OK foods, gsk, NAFDAC, Promasidor, Guinness, wamco foods, erisco foods, dufil, the list is just endless. These food industries and agencies employ students from that department... Only foolish youths underrate Agriculture. 2. Education courses are relatively gaining some grounds now, particularly SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (MATHS, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, BASIC SCIENCE, etc) EDUCATION. For teachers, higher degrees and working location are the main factors that brings more cash. Lecturers own houses and drive solid cars, college teachers in urban centres make moderate income coupled with a free time to run other businesses. |

jericco1: Exactly. We're all spectators of other courses and as a result, we think Nutritionists are thought to cook while political scientists are groomed to be political leaders. I don't know how op defines under ratio, cos all the courses he mentioned are highly competitive in my university. |

YhungPablo: Medicine i.e. 'medical doctor' is lucrative but overrated. Nutritionist/Dietitians and pharmacists are taking over not only prophylactic medicine but also therapeutic medicine as well. Mech. Engineering are losing their shine because they have no base in Nigeria. How many automobile factories do we have in Nigeria? Mech engineering are busy rubbing shoulders with mechanical technicians (mechanics) |
