Though privileged, Bella Adenuga-Disu has shown resilience and determination to succeed; her works is starting to show the result.

Kudos to all the hard-working privileged kids out there. We're looking up to y'all to attract more investors and spenders, so we can benefit.
Yeah. Being born into a wealthy family has its advantages but it does not mean everything will be rosy. Rich kids also do face their own peculiar challenges. They also do have to deal with failures, setbacks and put in the hard work, hunger, discipline, brilliance, consistency and resilience. Life is not perfect for anyone.

You are still not making any sense bro.

1. I asked for the names of the illiterate billionaires, you refused to mention.

2. I asked for the names of at least 10 Nigerian universities graduates who is on same par with their counterparts from US, you refused to mention.

Instead, you came up with this stuff. Go back to where you dug this nonsense out from and research about the best Nigerian is specific desciplines across the world.

Incase you are too lazy to do that, I will show you just few out of the best Nigerian professionals out there.
These few after getting first degree in Nigeria, went abroad to gain skills and they are well known in their professions.

Go to LinkedIn or see how our best brains are doing well in a sane country whose educational system are top notch.

Avail yourself with how our best brains are been employed in top firms in the US after their studies.



Once again, this is an educational thread, not your regular hulabalo frustrated threads of how Ambrose alli university is better than havard.

I won't reply to you again
Bro, you should not reply this guy again. He is just being silly. I can name over a hundred Nigerians who after obtaining Master's degrees from American universities ended up in Sillicon Valley and the likes. Even people like Dr. Akinwunmi Adeshina, Chimamanda, Ngozi Okonjo and many of the folks we do take pride in studied in top American universities.


I recognize the fact that studying in the United States is not an automatic ride to a successful life but the opportunities American universities provide for their students give them an edge over those studying in Nigerian universities.

EducationRe: Comparing Graduate School In The USA and UK by Crispels(m): 12:50pm On Sep 22, 2019
Macon1212:
It doesn't take longer to obtain Master's degree in USA, it depends on how brilliant/smart you are, I obtained mine within 15 months with 30 credit hours. Only most elite universities in USA consider other options for admission although some other universities do but the main admission criteria is your GPA. Water is pronounced as Wora and not Wadar
It is pronounced as "WADAR". Check Merriam Webster dictionary. In America, the T sound is pronounced as 'D'.

It also takes longer in the US - 15months is definitely more than the 9-10months it requires in the UK.
EducationRe: Comparing Graduate School In The USA and UK by Crispels(m):
@OP, I agree with many of the facts you pointed out. I currently work with one of the top 3 auditing firms in the world and one of the things we have come to realize in the course of recruiting graduates from different countries is that Master's graduates of American R1 universities are usually better (more exposed/flexible) than their counterparts from the U.K. Even in Nigeria, when we were recruit for Deloitte and Shell, we do find out that Nigerians who travel to the United States for grad school return home more equipped and 'world class' than those who studied in other countries. This is largely due to the fact that they spend more time studying and developing in the American educational system. When you also think about it: most of the Nigerian disruptive innovators of the 21st century studied in America. I'm talking about the likes of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Akinwunmi Adeshina, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Founder of Jumia and Konga(Sim Shagaya), President of Andela(Seni Sulyman), Omoyele Sowore of Sahara and many more technocrats and technology gurus who studied in the United States. American educational system trains students to think outside the box with a view to practically solving pressing big problems. That's why many people upon graduating from top American universities are always out there founding innovative start ups and playing the role of changemakers. The United States also has the largest economy in the workd which means more JOB OPPORTUNITIES and the likes.

This is not to opine that studying in the U.K is inferior to studying in the United States. I studied in England, Australia and the United States as well and I can say it all eventually boils down to what the individual makes of it at the end of the day. However, American universities(particularly R1/R2 schools) really spend more time drilling you and investing in you: which makes the big difference. If you are very smart, willing to work hard and embrace big problems, I encourage you apply to American schools, they are more likely to make the best use of your talents. The cost of studying in the United States is immense but once they know you are hard working, you are capable of adding value and you have great potentials, they will go as far as funding your education and may even try to keep you in the American system.

I was not offered full scholarship after my admission to Duke University. Upon resumption however, after a few weeks of classes and tests(they saw my potentials), the university offered me a fellowship that covered my entire tuition fees(about $50,000) as well as my cost of living. I was one of the best in my class and I got offers from companies(networked with them after we presented a class home work to them) that wanted to sponsor my green card and ensure I remain in the U.S but I chose to move to Australia instead due to personal reasons.

In the end, the grass is not always greener on the other side and foreign education does not automatically translate to success in life. It does not even automatically mean you are better than those who studied in UNILAG, OAU, FUOYE or BABCOCK. It all boils down to the individual and how well you make the most of certain opportunities in life.

How is LASU an advanced secondary school? Have you been there recently or you are using the thoughts of 5-10 years ago to judge them?

NUC rates them as the best state university and they are the state university with the highest number of first choice aspirants in Jamb.

Google their Faculty of Law and College of Medicine. They are among the very top around.

The fact that LASU has taken the bold step of flushing away the bad eggs in their rank should not be demonized but lauded.

EducationLASU Sacks ASUU Chairman, Vice Chairman And 15 Other Lecturers For Malpractices by Crispels(op): 5:19pm On Sep 08, 2017
The Lagos State University (LASU) Governing Council has dismissed 15 Academic Staff, including the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) of the institution, over various malpractices.

The dismissed LASU-ASUU Chairman and Vice Chairman were Isaac Oyewunmi and Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu.

LASU spokesperson, Ademola Adekoya, said in Lagos on Friday that the institution also dismissed two non-academic staff and demoted two others.

Among others dismissed for various financial and academic misconduct were Olatoye Raji, Olugbenro Odofin, Adebowale Ademeso, John Adeogun, Scholastica Udegbe and Olufemi Soyeju.

Other were Olawale Raimi, Ademola Adesina, Shamisudeen Badmus, Christiana Obagbuwa, Emmanuel Asapo, Lateef Salami, Olubukola Oyeniya and Fatimat Bakare.

Mr. Adekoya said that the decision to dismiss the staff was taken at LASU 115th Governing Council Meeting on Thursday.

“Pursuant thereto, the Governing Council with immediate effect dismissed 15 members of the academic staff, two members of non-academic staff, and sanctioned two others for different acts of misconduct.

Mr. Oyewunmi was dismissed for demanding N50, 000 from students while Mr. Adeyemi-Suenu was sacked for “unilaterally altered the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate’’

Mr. Adekoya said the council established that Mr. Oyewunmi demanded N50, 000 from 2003 modular year students of Political Science Education on the sandwich programme to process their results.
According to the council, Mr. Oyewunmi is found culpable of attempt to obtain money for himself as an inducement to carry out his duties, and consequently dismissed from the service of the university.
Mr. Adekoya said that the university established that Mr. Adeyemi-Suenu unilaterally altered the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate in the Department of History and International Studies in the 2015/2016 academic session.

“He changed their status from “withdrawn” to “good standing”. He also changed the results of some final year students and stragglers outside the scope of the departmental decision,” he said.
“Dr Adeyemi-Suenu also awarded grade point of 2.0 to two students in an examination which they were absent.
“This is tantamount to manipulation of students’ results in contravention of provisions of the Conditions and Scheme of Service for Senior Staff and therefore dismissed from the service of the university.”

Guyman02:
My advise is for you to follow your instincts, if a higher percentage of it says focus entirely on academics then so be it, but if the inner you says combine the two then you have to aspire. But my candid advise is not to focus entirely on academics since you have a flair for politics; your political tentacles can be groomed while still in school, even after school it helps you a lot as a neophyte in the corporate world to start understanding boardroom politics. Pat Utomi was a special adviser to Shagari at age 22 after graduating with outstanding grade despite being a student union leader.

You get to know a lot of people and learn from interactions at meetings about human behavioural patterns which can be applied in real life after school, many of the contacts you make and fellow students you assist by your activism may help you in future one way or the other.
I give you an example, I had a mate in the university, his name is Daniel Onjeh, he is the guy who contested against former Senate President David Mark and the nation stood still for him, he lost but everyone believes he belongs to the future young people who will take over the mantle of leadership in the state or country, he participated in school politics and became SUG President and today the exposure he got from it is what he is using today.
Follow your instinct and banish fear of failure if you engage in clean politics from your heart, ensure that you use your time well and not engage in unnecessary fights with the authorities on things you can take directly to the VC since you have access to him and sort out for the good of fellow students.
Thank you very much sir.

Am in a similar shoe with the OP. Kindly read my own story too and advice me on my choice.



I'm a student from the best University in Nigeria. I study History and International Studies. Am in my second year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face.

In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board.

In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1. I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al.

More so, I already received a certificate of honour from the University authorities for my leadership qualities and contributions.

However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded.

I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other.

I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria.

So I really love your achievement if all you said are what it is for real, so I would have loved to easily jumped into conclusion but there's one thing that got me down.

However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded.

I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other.

I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria.

Your advice?

This happens to be the biggest decision of my life.

Go ahead Bro. Life is not just all about academics!

You'd need the knowledge you acquire from school politics.
Am in a similar shoe with the OP. Kindly read my own story too and advice me on my choice.



I'm a student from the best University in Nigeria. I study History and International Studies. Am in my second year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face.

In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board.

In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1. I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al.
