I knw the UK government has been encouraging more university attendance

The Conservative press are the ones I agree with. . . ,

well you do have a point. . . .perhaps we shouldn't have so many primary and secondary school students either

Like I have been stressing all along. . .i said the degree education should be held to a higher standard.

The situation in Nigeria is comparable to the one in the UK believe it or not. . . .

Every tom, privates and harry now sees University as a rite of passage.

You only had to attend one session of my class to notice how ill suited some of these chaps were to a liberal education.
Well when they bothered to attend.(One idiot used to rollup in my class )

Many of my class mates are in jobs they could have done with an A-level qualification.

And those with ability are forced to go a bit further to masters and so on in order to set themselves apart in the job market

The jobs that are immediately suited for degree holders are not numerous. . .so why force these people down this road

tax cut man like you should knw that we shouldn't hold back the able ten percent at the top in order to 'democratise education'

One size does not fit all.

A degree education is a luxury in that respects, not cost wise, but ability wise. . . .no be for everybody

and no dey use dictionary definition for me. such pedantry is annoying

Build more Universities. . . .and have them employed where

na wa ooo.

4 Play:
The question is whether too many Nigerians are going to University.With a literacy rate estimated at 57%,how can we claim that there are effectively too many people seeking an education?

My main concern is with the University system not with the general literacy rate.

4 Play:
It is not only the Nigerian University system that is failing to cope with the number of potential users.We haven't got sufficient tarred roads vis-a-vis Nigerian motorists,should we restrict the number of people who can drive?Even at Sec/Primary school levels,we face challenges,why not reduce the amount of people who seek to get an education in the first place?

Well guess what. The congestion charge in London does such a thing as advocate people not driving in an exclusive zone.

And I don't knw if you read my posts. . . .I said a liberal University education is wholly different from a rota learning of facts that
obtains in secondary and primary schools. . .In that respect I consider it a luxury or a 'special good/service'

I think Sky Blue more than Kobo Junkie gets my argument.

I mentioned the importance of rigorous testing in one of my previous posts

Ability will still be the crucial factor in determining who enters the University regardless of means.

They might be a legacy of debt post graduation, but in such a system with the ensuing valued degree
the ability to pay back will be enhanced.

i never said price them out of the education system

price them out of the degree pipeline. . . .

degrees are not for the rota learning of facts. . .there are there for innovative scholarship

the deluge of people into the system turns these universities into secondary schools

A DEGREE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

SOME FORM OF EDUCATION IS. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DEGREE

What I am saying is many won't be there if not for lack of opportunities elsewhere

And rather than spreading ourselves thin in order to help as many as possible,
we should avoid capsizing the ship and throw some useless hands overboard

Now the system of testing will have to be tighter. . . .

Rather than the grants, student loans are perfect as an incentive to encourage the
academically able to go to school, but enough of a disincentive to weed out those
who are not capable of holding their own in a rigorous academic environment.

Hence you help the poor as well.

And I agree with you SkyBlue that we must spend some of this money, but I would still
carry out this 'environmental excercise'

This I must stress is pertaining to a DEGREE EDUCATION alone.

Monies should also be poured into technical schools, where the specific needs of certain industries will be met.

It cheapens the degree when our graduates are being employed in banks as manual cash counters

A University of Lagos could have an institute that meets this need for example perhaps on a diploma basis


Rather than standardising higher education, stratification should be introduced and those who don't have to spend
five years, their brain stultifying like Alaba Jogogo will be set free.

@Kobojunkie

I am not conversant with the level of standards in the University system but if the
comments on this thread are anything to go by, no be beans.

Now. . . .I am actually advocating that students should be priced out of the market.

Are you telling me if these students had a choice they wouldn't head for shores outside this country.

Less students to cater for and the meagre student resources will go round
what we have now is the sustenance of a false economy in University degrees that props up a mirage

Delaying the inevitable. I'd rather we dealt with the problems of job creation sooner

@Kobojunkie

Not enough I suspect. . . .or else the multitudes still heading for the University turnstiles would be a trickle

I am not one of those of the view that every person should have a University Degree and we should do everything we can to get
them through. . . .Rather than the liberal bent

A University degree should be one of the routes but not the only route to quality employment.

And a university education is a commodity that the holder surely hopes will hold water in different constituencies
so surely the quality and hence the cost will come into it at some point and it will be measured against similar degrees,

Making it so cheap hinders many brilliant chaps and ladies who have to further their education to set themselves apart from the rest.


l

Look at this Fali Werepe . . . . . .jo jo ko ba bukata ti e lo o

I think we should see the advent of student loans in Nigeria. . .

Hence Universities can charge for the full amount of a good education

The government as it stands pays for a substandard education and the Universities provide just that

And considering how much employment there is in Naija. . .i was shocked to find that many blue chip
companies were coming to London and God knws whereelse to recruit for back home. . .

The Universities should be lobbying hard to tailor their services to the obviously specific needs of these institutions

One common trick is to create Institutes within Institutes and establish a stellar reputation for the new institute.
a different class of degree you might say. . .

Cause they sure are damn too many of my peoples heading for University.

But how many agree that Adrian Mcgeady of Celtic should be playing in another league

One of the better one on one players in the world i reckon. . . .

and he has been at Celtic a while now

@R-dynamite

How innocent are those babies tho. . .

E get some babies wey he be say. . .they gain an enormous degree of pleasure
from making their parent's life wretched

If you no carry them. . .they go wail the whole buildin down.

Makes you wonder how this 'cute thing' can make such diorientating noise.

I am just curious as to what level of culpability an offspring should have
if either or both of the parents are recognised criminals. .How would you . .

The child of the murderer for example. . .what responsibility is owed to the children or loved ones of the victims.

The child of the thieving politician bankrupting the nation. . . .

How would you deal with such issues

A name like Obong will have the Angels asking for your particulars at the checkpoint to heaven ooo

_{rest in peace oh king}

Na wa ooo. . .

Niger wey hunger wan kill them na im still dey acquire more responsiblities

But these boundaries are in word alone anyway.

I bet the Residents still think Uthman Dan Fodio is still the Sokoto Regent.

hehehehe. . . .did i say rambunctious

I meant voulptuous jare- - - -the Baby's Orobo quality

Why not the twins, . . . .i don't have a particular team. . .so i root for the underdog

I no dey live for Yankee na.

Let's jus say in my past life I was a Bolshevik. . . .Hence my hatred for these money bag ostentatious teams

Some people define their relationship with sports in terms of the team or individuals they support.

I define it in terms of my hatred for an idea, person or team. . .its a refresing viewpoint on life

and often those who have too much money are subjects of my wrath

B T W. . . . . .OCHO CINCO SAYS HI

He loves the idea of working with Jake Delhomme in Carolina. . .lovely community team. Good fans and egalitarian to boot

He roots for the little guys you see

**in any case. . . no mind my hostility as you put it. Jus playing good cop bad cop

hehehehehe. . . . .look at this lepa shandy. . .you nooo go chop belle full

the more rambuntious the baby the cuter. . . .

I knw, in the parenthood of everyones imagination
your baby will be this little cute thing that hold tight onto
you fingers with alarming strength. . .

Curly hair made for the Johnson's baby oil adverts ofcourse
and skin so smooth you could see your reflection in it.

But how about when your baby arrives. . .you realise Omo Baba no2
has come early. . .his\her face reminds you of the gremlins movies
and his hair seems to be Taribo inspired. . . .

Do you go: Men, this baby wowo ooo and give it up for adoption
or settle into this tacit self deception where we automatically
infer cuteness when it comes to babies?

And on to more serious concerns- - - - -- - - - - -

isn't it legitimate to look into your newborn's eyes and
just imagine that he or she could be the next Anini
or Columbine shooters. . .or some such notorious character.

Rather than- - - - - - -My son is going to be a doctor or an Engineer. . . .etc.

why all the hostility

i support the Twins for chrissakes. . .

Do you knw how that feels


The other New York team just took our ace

Look at all these New Englanders displaying their dirty laundry for all to see.

Money bags parading as sports wits. . .

To you Bostonian, . . . . .I warn, the Bambino is back, curse and all. I wonder how long this drought will last.
