pansophist:


False equivalence.

Firstly, per capita amount means nothing when a country is determined to improve itself. For example, the per capita for Americans is bigger than Swedish, but Sweden has free education for its citizens, while American students are saddled with debt, ranging from over 35,000 USD on average, to over 100,000 USD. Using your logic, how can you explain that?

Furthermore (as this paragraph succinctly deals with your point), Nigeria has a higher GDP than some European countries such as Ukraine, though, Ukrainians study for free, and has been a top destination for student all over the world to study at their top-quality education. Nairaland is filled with threads about studying in Ukraine. Ukrainian classrooms look similar to the Canadian own, so what's your point?

Even if Nigeria suddenly have the highest GDP per capita right now, with the government and structure in place, it will only descend lower, instead of uplift itself higher. Most importantly, the present-day Nigerian GDP being low to Norwegian is as a result of bad governance. Norwegian GDP is one of the lowest in the developed world just 40 years ago, lower than Nigeria presently, but built itself up. How about that?

You tried to make sense but actually didn't. And your answer is decorated with pride like you are schooling some ignorant stranger. Don't be rude, drop your point, without the unnecessary addendum such as, ''please do not say anything slick''. Arrogance is repugnant

Brother, we have a very huge problem in this country.

Mention any African university that pays zero tuition, don't forget Nigeria is in Africa and not Europe. I believe the poster mentioned that he's in Canadian university why did you bring up a European example?, let him also mention the tuition fee he paid, his story is not complete. Some UK universities cost as high as €30,000, why isn't it free? we keep comparing ourselves with the best in the world, failing to realize that these people colonized countries like us, they're world powers, no African or black country is a world power for now but don't write us off yet, we will get there

I do not support PDP or APC. I do not even live in Nigeria. Since you decided to bring politics into your post, GEJ's era had oil selling for over $100 a barrel. There were lots of money to go round.
Same is happening in Alberta right now. There is hardship since the crash of oil.

Fhemmmy:


You are very right and infact, i will call it a nation of problem being ruled by problem infested people

Bigiyo:
Are u there on scholarship??
how did u get the students visa??
no vex for my questions o, i am just tired of naija schools, imagine going to lecture and u will take standing or u sit on the floor

Jman06:
Stop shifting blame to oil! Even if oil sells for $200 today, Buhari would still fail because he has no clue as to resource management. The cabals would just keep him in the dark while looting whatever kobo that is in our treasury just the way they're doing currently.

Buhari is notorious for failure! Those who witnessed his reign as military head of state can confirm that Buhari has nothing good to offer Nigerians.

HappyCanadian:
Hey Guys,

[b][/b]

We need to do better in that country. Imagine a country with educated elites and see who is ruling us. [b][/b]And worst of it is that many Nigerian youths focus on irrelevant things probably scared of being picked up if they talk. If our government was responsible and accountable we would have had a better place.

omenka:
There are a gazillion things I'd like to say, but due to my oath of service, I can hardly say them.

See brother, we have a loooooooooooog way to go!

AgreatMan:
Actually, this is not a fair comparison.

International students pay an average of 3million naira in Canada per year but Nigerian schools charge an average of say 100k. (Rough estimates)

It's called getting exactly what you pay for. Good class rooms, but it's no big deal.

salford:

Wetin concern me. if GEJ had oil selling for $600 per barrel, he will fail too. Don't get it twisted. They are both failures.

Jman06:
Things were much better when GEJ was in office! We enjoyed more electricity supply then. Our health and education sectors faired better than what we have today!

If GEJ had completed another four years and handed over to another informed leader like him, democracy would have gained more grounds in the country while we would have been among the fastest developing economies in the world. Unfortunately, Buhari's government has taken us like 50years backwards!

I repeat, everyone you meet on Nairaland is your mate right?

Otunbascotty:
yes offcourse I ain't your mate either. Ode!

salford:

you have absolutely zero idea of how economic works. Just stick to your current career.

Jman06:
Stop making excuses for a failure like Buhari!
Any economy that is not positively affecting the lives of the people is not working!

nairalandposter:
These are in Nigeria, doesn't mean everywhere is like that but we do have these oases sometimes, or a lot of the time:

midnighter:


I don't get you

mormoney85:
u said something about international students paying huge amount

salford1:

Still same comprehensive skills issues. I give up.
I hope you stay in Nigeria and keep practicing your pharmacy cos I don't see how you would scale an evaluation exam if something as simple as basic economics is hard for you to grasp.
My last post on this thread.

How much did you pay before you curse Nigeria, did you pay N50,000 for your tuition?

Maybe you don't know that Atiku's University, Covenant, Babcock and Igbenidion can boast of quality facilities like
these yet they're not as expensive. As you have decided to invest your money in Canadian education what is the need for this backlash? are students like you not paying tuition in the universities I mentioned above? carry your negativity away from here jor

Otunbascotty:
[s]You see why I ain't your mate and why you lied about traveling to 35 countries is these the way they behave in the 35 countries you have visited in your dreams. I live in a very civilised country and grown ups don't talk the way you do neither do they reason the way you do. An average boy in Arkansas reasons better than you. You are probably ill-educated, delusional or a stark illiterate. Only gullible fellows on here will believe any shit you dirty propagandist posts on nairaland. Your age is written all over your comment and your low sense of reasoning and judgement. Grow up, get educated and travel in real life not in your dream or nightmares. Just advicing you tho. 35 countries traveller indeed.[/s]

salford1:

Let me reply on his behalf. Local students pay about $6K per year. That is 1.5million naira. Foreign students pay 3x of that amount. For a four or 5 years course, that is still alot of money.
You pay for what you get. You can't compare a quality brand to dollarstore brand.

bizhop01:

Concordia University, Université de Montréal e.t.c tuition fee is 2000$ for indigenes,
In Canada thousands of indigenes obtained university degree annually without paying a dime due to numerous government scholarship's program.
Questions for you, how much do nigeria government budget for education?
