let's call a spade wot it is,these private universities being run by missions have priced tuition over and above the reach of its members,I even hear some of these private universities have other profitable business ventures they run along side. You talked about these private universities being under 20 years old,the reason they are not in top 1000 best universities in the world but my answer to that is this,the rankings are based on webometrics which these private universities use as selling point,that is,they are IT complaint,yet can't make the list. This greatly calls to question what value they are really adding to the system of education in Nigeria cos beyond being devoid of strikes and having a few infrastructure to boast of,their personnel are still heavily been sourced from the government run institutions. We won't be needing private universities if government was properly funding the ones they are managing cos elsewhere in the world,and even here in nigeria,it's the not so bright ones who pass entrance exams to government run higher institutions that flood to private universities but we are now making it a status symbol to send our wards there killing off our education gradually. Am still on my point that these private universities should charge discriminary fees for members,that talk of merit doesn't hold water,if you pass the entrance exams to such schools,then the child of the member should be made to pay less fees;this is why I doff my hat for catholics,though not one but I know the day they decide to set up a private university,it will not only be world class but Catholics would pay almost nothing to have their wards there

Do you know that your idea promotes discrimination. You're saying members of a church should pay lower than those outside. Why?
So someone can just change church just because he wants to get lower fees. Please don't go there. That idea is flawed. So even children who don't really care about their education should be pumped into the University just because they attend a particular church. When the standard of the school falls, it's still you people that will point fingers.
It is enough that scholarships are given to members. Anything aside that is outright criminality.
The same goes to your idea of Catholic private universities.


Now to your more salient points. Webometrics isn't just based on IT compliance. But let me not go there. You said private universities are not in the top 1000 in the world. How many public Universities are in the top 1000? None. Not even UI. So that is not really a point for argument.
According to their latest rankings, UI is first in Nigeria, Covenant second. That shows you how far Covenant has come throughout the years.

The truth of the matter is that your only problem with private universities is their fees, and the truth remains that no private university can be run without adequate funding. You will not find any private university anywhere in the world that is cheap (except the standard is low).
In the US, people save money which they call a college fund to be able to send their children to good schools, some of which are privately run. But here in Nigeria, no saving, you just send them to a school with 30k per semester. The problem is that the schools are not properly funded.
You pay more for quality.

Nonsense, if all these wishy washy pentecostal churches cannot provide free or subsidized education for all their members, they should shut up and close down. How can only the rich members of a church be able to attend the universities built on the sweat of most church members ?? And the so called church still tries to justify this obvious class divide and then pretend to be following Christ ??

Remember Anglican and Catholic church schools were affordable by all and produced some of the best standards of educations for decades - they hardly charged any schools fees.

Look, if you hate the church, then voice it out. Don't hide under the guise of "expensive universities" to validate your hate. Because there is nowhere on this earth that you will find a free or cheap private university.
People like you are the cause of Nigeria's problems, always looking out for stomach infrastructure. Making it seem as if receiving free education should be a token because you go to church. So people should start choosing churches because of the University that the church can provide.
Built on the sweat of most of the church members. In Nigeria, you don't give what you don't have. You'd find out that it was most of these "rich" people who actually donated towards the building of the schools. Talking as if everybody donated the same thing.

And don't you know they give scholarships to their members? You just overlooked that to pour your hate on the church.

Did you even think before you typed this?

dadaic:
Well, I have only this to say here. If Pastor Oyedepo wasn't making profit from the CU university, he wouldn't venture into having 2 other schools. If a business is not making profit, they close down. So you mean to tell me the VC likes spending his money to create schools, get fees paid at such rates, create other schools and loose money? Lol..that's ridiculous.

Meanwhile, all private universities do not have a fixed price, you see some lower than the other, they pay the academic and non academic staffs, they run electricity too, and of course still make profit from this. Some of their pastors who have kids do not have to pay their fees completely, they pay a certain amount. So if he doesn't make profit, he can as well make a statement and say all the pastor's who have kids must pay the fees completely like the others who aren't pastors. Abeg oga go and get your facts right.

Hmm... Dude calm down.
Oyedepo isn't doing this for profit. If you bothered to calculate everything,you'd understand that he actually doesn't make profits from them.
It is in a quest to increase the quality of education in Nigeria that he built those schools.
No matter where you go, you'll never find a cheap private university with good standards like the ones Oyedepo has.

And what makes you think the pastors don't pay their children's fees completely. Did you just pull this outta yer ass?

CecyAdrian:
Them Don come to defend their yahoo yahoo business ooooo

Did you even bother to read the points there?

If it gives so much profit as you say, why don't you invest in one?

sekundosekundo:
As you believed this, believe also whatsoever that have and still coming from this source against your Hero Buhari.

When it comes to Buhari, they will now say the news station is not a reliable source.

Some people will believe this... Anything the media feeds you, you'll believe.

He came up with this to save face, and as usual, anything discrediting the past administration is welcome here.

After all this talk, nobody will still be prosecuted. Propaganda everywhere.

That's how people like you go around looking for problem on nairaland.

How is indicating the fact that a girl that age cannot finish that race "hating"? And I asked a simple question, none of you can answer me.
If you don't have the answer,then go pour your frustration somewhere else.

That's how you swallow all rubbish the media feeds you hook, line and sinker.

#Whatnonsense

adem30:
Everything is a lie for your type.

I watched this girl live on NTA when she completed the race.

You are here shouting na lie, when this little girl is achieving. Wake up and do something for your life

7-year olds ain't got the stamina to finish such a race.

Did you see where she started running from?

Michellla:

Truth234:
Oil output has never been 400,000 bpd. The lowest since this administration came in was 1.4 mbpd.

However, what sustained 170/$ exchange rate wasn't the reserve, it was the looting. Imagine in 2013 when oil prices was $107 a barrel and output was 2 mbpd, just $2 billion was added to the foreign reserve, bringing total reserve to $29 billion.

That was when about $33 billion was generated in oil revenue, what happened to the rest? Looted, shared and find it way back into the economy through luxury consumer spending, investment in real estates, extravagance life styles and of course olosho enjoy too. I wrote an article called Nigeria: A nation that thrive on loots. It details everything.

But under the current administration foreign reserve is $28.9 billion. A period when oil prices has been averaging $33 a barrel for the past 12 months and plunged to 25 year low in Feb 2016 to trade at 26 a barrel. All this was achieved with 1.4 mbpd output.

Oil is presently at $56 per barrel.

cooldood:
Not exactly, if I do that, it will be over 9''.

Are you sure you didn't measure from your balls upwards?

Nnfe:

Until it will turn to something else.
Imagine a guy attempting to do that... I'll beat the evil out of him.

sweerychick:
my dear we are saying the same thing, next time he shouldn't get involved in National issues when you don't have the guts or backing, people like charley boy have received similar if not worse threats. If you are ready to fight fire then get ready to stand the heat

Alright Miss. My point is every reasonable human would want to protect himself and his family first. 2Baba was essentially the face of the protest. Charly Boy, Seyi Law and the rest may not have received the caution that 2Face received.

sweerychick:
my dear idea or no idea, the point is don't start what you can't finish. Yes he brought up the idea but he should have at least finished it, why wait less than 24hrs before calling it off. It's like a contractor starting a project and abandoning it at the critical point.

Well, you obviously have no idea what happens when you try to protest against the rulership of a dictator.

Watch that 2Baba's video indicating his withdrawal from the protest. Does he look normal there?

LaRochelle:
Nigerians and their bad mouths...

Did those people watch the video where he declared his intention to back out of the protest? Dude was messed up, mehn. Did you see his eyes? He was not looking into the camera 90% of the video duration. He was sad, and I know he wasn't acting. The people mocking him, did they come out for the protest? Was he the only celebrity that supported the cause? Do you have any idea of what he was threatened with?

Please oh, when next you want to shade or mock someone, put yourself in their shoes and see if you would love another doing same to you.

Thank you very much for this post. Some people just want to talk. They don't even think.

You could also check the OAU Jupeb. They're still admitting.
