Our dear brothers from the Southeast in particular have this complex and have created the construct of one big bad Northern Nigeria bent on oppressing them.

However the truth is that the North is more diverse than the South with a greater number of ethnic groups within it.

However, they have largely managed to come together to pursue similar aims often and with Hausa as the adopted language, a strong bond is created. It is fair to say that majority of the ethnic groups in the North are not as big as the Igbos but with the power of unity, it is the former that feel weak.

The reason is not far-fetched, they have not learnt to cooperate within themselves and with other people. A recipe for relegation in politics. Until Southeasterners learn this simple but fundamental lesson, they will have plenty to complain about.

This article is instructive http://www.gamji.com/article8000/news8782.htm

Stop trying to bury injustice and backwardness. The north may have many ethnic groups but is unified by free oil money, dominance and dirty religious motive.

To me more Obas is like more northern state. They constitute a drain on our resources as they get cut from the oil windfall. More factories.

I hope they go after every corrupt public official first before chasing hushpuppi that far away.

If you have any sense at all, you will realise that the focus here is not about how much they are paid; it is about the PPRO denying that they ever get paid by private individuals and companies Seeking police services. So, stop acting like a blind idiot

I will let your obvious vile slide for the sake of decency.

Statsocial:
Yea

What is the arrangement like? What of 'SIMCARDs' ?

Part time ?

The Police PRO is a big liar, he said he is not aware that some companies and Vips budget loads of money for security payments to the Nigerian police, Haba this is Public knowledge na..

On a personal note, recently in my family, we needed the services of Nigeria police for a certain duration due to some security issues.

We approached the DPO in charge of the division we are resident in, he told us a very long story, on how we have to apply, and pay some money which he will use he to settle his bosses and the policemen etc

We obliged, we paid nothing less than 200K for less than a month, just for 4 policemen.
We also paid them (the 4 policemen) 7K - each, weekly as allowances, we fueled their old dirty hilux every 2 days. Feed them, morning, afternoon nd night

It wasn't fun at all, nd I strongly hope I will never use their services again, on a personal level.

They risk their lives for job of N1k a day.

how much will be the fees, it's better I invest it in a biz hoping to be a Dangote someday than go to school and looking for a good paying job someday.

see my signature.

You have a point though. Even business is gamble in Nigeria. Some grads earn as high as £650 per hour (£20,000+/month).

iamchybs:
Go and tell the government to stop paying na.

I am not the one telling them to stop, the govt is trying to on its own. Lautech and ASUU strike are there as examples.

iamchybs:
How much is paid at the most expensive public university here and how much is paid at the cheapest private university you know of.

Irrelevant points and questions. When you know what govt pay as subsidy per public uni undergrad, then we can add it to what the students pay and get the 'irrelevant' difference you want to know.

iamchybs:
No matter how much u spend in a public university per session, u can't compare it with a private university na... Even if na Mother Theresa university.

How much? Until you know it there is only little you can offer against private uni as argument.

In a country that's well known as a dumping ground, this is good news.
It could also be bad news if people start taking us for poor nation that waits for scrap to have Furniture.

A Nigerian appraising fellow Nigerians.

The imaginary doctors of Sai couldn't resist Nigerians in Buhari's.

Rorachy:
I think you are the ignorant one because these people you are calling their names are business men, if they are not in it to make profit.

Why does Bill gates give out so much money seeing that he is a Business man? You make me laugh. People like you think they can blackmail the rich by holding on to logic and assumptions that paints them as greedy wicked people.

Rorachy:
I think you are the ignorant one because these people you are calling their names are business men, if they are not in it to make profit, why can't their church members afford to send their children there since they are charity organization? How in the world are they giving back, an average Nigerian can't afford these exorbitant and outrageous fees.

How can you even say public universities are profit oriented? I pay 20k as tuition fee in my school from 100-finals, how is that profit compared to almost to 1m these private universities pay?

Who said there are no corrupt VCs in private universities that approve questionable exorbitant fees?

Why didn't the FG that's a true charity subsidize fuel to N0.00 so the average Niger Delta man can be guaranteed fuel? Your logic stinks at best. Even if those schools charge N1,000 there will still be people who can't afford it. Does that make the school owners wicked? Never.
Why do you think private schools aren't on strike. Cos they shift the part of the burden they can't guaranty to carry to the students in form of higher fee. As a matter of fact, covenant uni charged less than 170k per annum in 2002. How much was the FG spending on the average public uni grad in 2002. How much please?

Rorachy:
Looking at it from an economic view, private universities are owned by private individuals who sole aim is to make profit unlike the public counterparts that is owned by the government.

Private universities are profit oriented and you don't expect them to reduce their tuition fees just like that, public universities can reduce their tuition fees because these public enterprises are not really profit oriented rather they are aimed at providing social benefits to the Nigeria populace.
So far we are not operating in a market economy, there will always be public universities that are functioning.

You are extremely ignorant about the economic motive of private and public unis.
Contrary to the bold, it is public unis that are profit oriented in Nigeria. You have corrupt VCs and senate approving questionable fees, lecturers too aren't left out with extortion.
On the other hand, private unis are owed by bodies and person who are looking to give back. Oyedepo, Adeboye, Catholic, Dangote etc are people who are passionate about giving back to the society. You don't expect them to subsidize the full cost of running the schools. By the way how much does FG spend on the public uni graduate per annum per graduate?

Rorachy:
How is it the end of public universities when an average Nigerian can't afford a private university?

You can argue the existence of the public unis but you and I know that the private unis are speedily leaving their public counterparts behind. The only attraction of public unis is cheap fee. Once private unis start recovering capital and start reducing cost there will be no hiding place.

@phainix,
I will try it out even though i found what looks like the java version of the solution. Thanks for the PHP solution, it uses less memory compared java. I will explore it also.

Little . . .

What does the news of Dangote's plan to establish a university with a war chest of N200B mean for ASUU and FG?
For me, It means the end of Nigerian public uni system is near because there will be no hiding place for the public schools.

Hello Nairalanders,
I want to read the content of external sites dynamically and don't know which technology suitable and best for this.
I want to go into pages and search of its content divs, p, a , images and span tags and read their contents for onward manipulation.
Can JSON do it? I was thinking of using researching Java 8's Networking API for this purpose but would love a simply solution like PHP.

Imagine that youurgovt had built 2of such refineries in time past. Nigeria would have been far ahead.

Statsocial:
That is a lie! Church Universities do reform people and has no correlation with ''increased vices'' as you opined. But even as Jesus Preached and not everyone believed so there are people who attend church universities and still remained unchanged.

After bursting their lies of "Pentecostal churches opening uni errywhere" they switch to church unis don't reform people. Pathetic!

Cabal.com?

Quality is lacking in most.

What's the processor spec? The cache especially.

Good. Seun come see front page worthy thread.

What's the point paying N20k and below only to cough out hundreds of thousand in sorting fee and still end up being unemployeable?

ADENIKETINA2015:

No medicine ke and then N857,500 for Mass Com.

I know the course is broad but how much does an average OAP earn

Anyways...







God Pls bless me enough to be able to give my kids the best

See thinking. I just tire. Should industry salary scale now determine or even influence school fees? If so how much does FG spend on every mass comm student in Federal uni.?

Rorachy:
No medicine and surgery, no dentistry, no medlab.

What are they offering then?

It shouldn't be by quantity but by quality.
