Killermamba:

This fool still dey talk? Why not compare Nigeria universities to that of Germany that are totally free for everybody including Nigerians

Throwback:


Did he not reference Ghana?

Is their minimum wage Australian or Canadian standard?

Winning123:
Thank you for reply. Many people don't realize Nigeria is not a rich country but a country with the potential to be rich

crackhouse:
Why do reno omokri keep behaving stupidly. The point here is how many people can afford such amount in Nigeria? A country where more than 70% of its citizens are poor..
U are comparing a useless naira to dollar

nairalanda1:



We can have free quality education when we pay the money for it.

We don't have the money? then we can still have free education, only it won't be quality.

And by the way, I believe that the National Assembly should reduce their budget by half.

Throwback:


How many British or US agencies or private organisations grant scholarships for their citizens to study in Nigeria?

We have Nigerian agencies with scholarships devoted to schools in the UK.

As for the loan, it is called a loan because you cannot afford to pay.

So take the loan as done abroad for those who also cannot afford to pay, and begin payback when you have secured a job after graduating.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
You can't appreciate Nigeria until you are privileged to have travelled far and wide around the world. It is mainly in Nigeria that house rent is paid yearly. In almost all of the countries I have travelled to. Rent is either monthly or weekly and quite expensive when you compare to Nigeria. Just making and example as to how the basic needs of life is very affordable here. Very, very affordable.

GoodGovernance:


Now you’re talking.
Not only NASS.There is a lot of leakages and corruption in the entire system that would require only a revolutionist to deal.

This is common sense:

Nigeria lacks enough doctors,engineers,teachers,etc

Are we going to get more or less of these professionals by increasing school fees?

We should careless about Ghana and tackle our challenges!

Ghana can never develop more than Nigeria via higher school fees,so the comparison is so stupid!

obi58:


I'm sure that you are one of those agbero drop outs who have been paid to make noise on this platform.

One of the millenium development goals by the UN is QUALITY AFFORDABLE EDUCATION. Other countries are working towards making their educational systems accessible to all. Nigeria on the other hand is focusing on making Public education exclusive to the few that have. They are not making any effort to significantly improve the educational facilities or infrastructure.

The government is talking about student loans in an economy where there are no jobs. How are graduates expected to repay these loans? Are we not just creating a further debt burden for the country?

How can our country improve economically when we are making education more exclusive What's going to happen to the drop outs? Won't it lead to an increase in crime rate?

People should learn to think before commenting please.

Following the recent rise in cost of Tuition fees of Nigerian public universities, former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has compared Nigerian universities' cost of tuition with cost of tuition of other countries' universities, IGBERETV reports.

Demayour:
Reno didn't mention that parents in those countries have multiple ways to raise the money either now or in the future.

Similarly, Reno and his minions are also not telling us about countries where education up to PhD level is free and yet, they have the best system in the world.

All of these assertions are half-truths. As an educator, I know that education is really expensive. But for a country that still a high number of uneducated citizens, couples with unemplyment even for PHD holders, tell me why education should look enticing to tue poor again.

If the poor and struggling don't find education enticing, tell me how human capital development of Nigeria can be raised. Tell me how Nigerians can be trained to become "normal" citizens like we have in most countries.

It is tricky with a sprinkle of foolishness for anyone to vehemently support the thieving political class now except you're benefiting from their largesse.

JAMO84:
Most Nigerian Parents will complain of 100k in a year school fees, but when it's time for their children to get married, they will spend 2m on a one day wedding.


Most Nigerian students will enjoy cheap education, when they finally graduate and get a job outside Nigeria with the certificate, they will curse Nigeria on social media for contributing nothing to their development.


EVERYONE SHOULD PAY FOR THE REAL COST OF THEIR TERTIARY EDUCATION, ONLY BASIC EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE

Luu40:
I am one of the administrators of a private Secondary school here in Kebbi state. Our students have been paying on average N54,000 per annum since 2018. Students of universities or colleges of education in our states pay an average of N20,000 to N25,000.

God knows the education they receive in those tertiary institution is too poor. They also graduate in huge numbers with nothing to offer, but put more pressure on the government to give them jobs that don't even exist. Truth is our number is very very large relative to our resources.

I am a proponent of an expensive education system where one has to pay a fortune to have their child educated, though I got schooled for almost free. I'm very sure the money FG paid me during NYSC is much more than what I spent for school fees and upkeep in my 3 years in the university.

I know many will argue that I am hoping to deny many people what I got for almost free. This is what I'd say to you: No public primary or secondary school is properly functioning in my state. Not a single one. We only pride ourselves in lies and deception of what doesn't exist.

nairalanda1:



Even if we fight corruption and cover the leakages, it still won't be enough.


We budgeted 1.1 trillion for education this year. For comparison, the 2009 ASUU-FG agreement made provision for 1.5 trillion to be paid over two years in extra funding for universites. Money which was never paid, and which government told ASUU in 2013 that it would not be paid...instead ASUU got 1 trillion over 5 years, which has not been paid in full to date.

Note the 1.1 trillion is not going to universites alone, it is going to primary , secondary and other tertiary institutions. Divide the money and there isn't much.

And that is before we talk about looting, stealing, and so forth


That's why we have to explore the fees option, because it is either that, or we pay heavy taxes, and tax everyone, or we go the loan route...ie we beg IMF for a loan (which they won't give, because we are loaned up, and DMO is on the government's case anyway).


That's why I am annoyed when you called me a government defender. This is not about defending any yeye government...this is about facing the truth that our universities are underfunded, and they don't have enough cash.

Yes, our forefathers went to unviersity for free...back when numbers were much smaller, and there were fewer universites, and not everyone went to uni, and people could still get office jobs with primary 6 education. Government could afford to fund all that...and yes there was corruption back then well well.

Throwback:
As at 2010, session fees in Unilag for returning students was just N10k.

Yabatech that is even a Polytechnic was around N20K.

You can imagine how badly Unilag was underfunding itself, despite its students priding themselves as the richest in the public university system.

GoodGovernance:


If fighting corruption and leakages not enough,it is school fees that will make it enough, abi?

The total amount realisable on school fees is not even up to N100b!

I repeat,school fees Is not an option for any developing country with high poverty an illiteracy rate.
Such a country can never catch up with the rest of the world.

The standard source for govt revenue all over the world,is taxes not school fees!

Successdude:
Lol..... Why didn't he use the developed countries to measure the minimum wage ?

Using failure to support failure

This man is beginning to make it look like his stewpidity the previous days is only a child's play when compared to that of the subsequent days.

ecolime:

Public universities these days are mostly attended by children of the poor.

The rich send their wards to Private universities or overseas.

Adakintroy:
Nigerian are being intorduce to reality one day at a time. When you say Nigeria is worst compare it to other nations.

You say government does nothing now government has left you to your fate with regards fuel. See the real cost how Manny can afford it. Learn to say thanks when you get something no matter how small. Nigerians are ingrates almost at every level.

Throwback:


He gave you a West African reference for context and also gave you a "saner climes" reference, but you say you want more.

So go and dig up all the other West African countries yourself if you need more comparison to be convinced.

You say government has left us to our fate regarding fuel?

Years back, we had our refineries fully functioning and petrol was cheap, now they're importing and selling at such an exorbitant price of 700 per litre while our refineries are in such a sorry state.

They were never making the best use of our resources and the taxes we pay, instead they looted them and borrowed to subsidize fuel.

Now, there is a humongous debt that needs to be paid owing to their reckless borrowing, not personal sacrifice and you're here calling well-meaning Nigerians ingrates when you're the one that is plain stupid.

It's only a fool that defends his oppressors..

Mind you, you can't compare Nigeria to other countries in terms of the natural resources with which they are blessed.
