dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when
making a choice of institution.

I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to
lecturers… Well, that’s about all.

Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the
freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the
hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed.

They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates.
So here’s my case for choosing a public university.

1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence:

Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to
be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their campuses
and under certain rules more suited for teenagers than young adults. The laws in public
universities are not imposed on the students; they are just the basic principles a normal student
is meant to follow. It’s funny when I see pictures of private university students being punished or
hear of certain rules like compulsory attendance of chapel, feeding time tables, dress codes,
e.t.c​.​ It is absurd; these are adults​!​

2. Cost of education:

It is a lot cheaper to attend public university than a private one and this is not limited to school
fees. Cost of living on public universities is also cheaper. Students cook their own meals and hav​
e access to shops on campus and in town where prices of goods and services are competitive.
On the other hand, the cost of living on a private university secluded campus for one semester is
enough to build a house.

3. Public university g​ives “exposure” to students:

It’s more than obvious that public university students are ”​sharper​”​ than private university
students. Private university students who are often referred to as “JJC” or “Learners” by public
university students, live what I term “the microwave life” which is the easy life.
In federal universities you get to meet all sorts: from cultists to Aristo chicks, people with
different personalities. It makes one exposed to what life really is. One is exposed to the hustle
and learns how to struggle for things. There are still brats in federal universities but most of
them get to grow up when exposed to the hustle.

4. Life on and off campus is FUN:

There are so many parties to attend, clubs and events. One gets to meet real people, one also
learns to be real. There is a lot of gist and gossip, lot of things to laugh at. Rather than chapel,
it’s clubbing. Dating is even fun in federal schools. Couples express love without fear as adults.
One gets to see students that are rich and poor mingling as equals; students who express
themselves through their dressing and not relegated to some uniform.

5. Hard work is compulsory

Students in public universities have work​ed​ through exceptional odds to succeed; challenges that
help one not take life for granted. Imagine a department of over a thousand students with a very
small lecture hall or a lecturer who spends only twenty minutes in a class where he is meant to
spend two hours, or one who only gives handouts. Faced with issues like these, students work
extra hard to come out with well-deserved results.

6. Public universities produce more mature graduates:

With all the challenges: strikes, nonchalant lecturers, freedom to express yourself as adult etc,
public universities are more equipped for life after graduation. They know that things would not
just be handed to them and are used to making decisions for themselves.

These guys are just the ultimate in Nigerian car custom making. They are AREWA CUSTOMZ. Located in the most flourishing city in Northern Nigeria, Arewa Customz specialize in car customizing and they have been featured in the popular Rimz and Beatz auto Show in Nigeria. A little chit chat with Arewa Customz and Enigma Naija told The story of how video games influenced an entrepreneural idea.We had a little chat with them, find out more...

Hello! Could you please Tell us how it all began?

The dream began way back in 2009 through the love of video games, 'Need For Speed' to be precise.. when we made up our mind to create a design based on it. Yeah, actually we had pictures and we saw the designs then #Gbam! We decided to do it. We decided to purchase materials and produce designs ourselves rather than go get ready made ones at a high price and started pimping cars.
Through creativity, and us being architects and pimped cars enthusiasts, there's this vision of if we can with buildings, why not cars?? ...Simply, that was how it began.


Nice, I love cars and video games too especially when you put them together but what were the challenges faced when u started?

Primarily, when we started, like any other business the main challenge was finance. Till now sef! Hehehe.. Yeah, finance has been the major challenge because most of the parts that are being used are very expensive.
Another challenge was in getting the right car parts needed within a short time frame.. And u know some of these parts have to be ordered and shipped. And before they come in, they take nothing less than a month. And when u have clients that are 'pressed', it is a serious issue. And take for example, lamborghini door hinges; it costs almost N350,000.. if a client needs such and the deposit is not that much, where will you get the money to import?? You see, such challenges! For a job to be done, u don't expect a client to pay in full before the job is completed; there'll be a deposit, then final payment when the job is done.
Eventually, all I can say on challenges when we started, was the support we couldn't get at first. People, friends, the public looked down on us. Some even saw us as 'crazy', and all sorts; we can't go anywhere with such biz. As in!!.. Thank God we kept our head up and continued. Right now, from how far we've gone, our works, focus, Alhamdulillah.. The support is unbelievable.


Client base (where ur clients are located)

Basically, even from our brand name 'Arewa' (North), we started in Kaduna, most of our clients are up here from most of the states. But from what people have seen through our works that have gone down south by those who traveled et al, and the help of social networks, we now have clients from all over. Arewa Customs is for everyone. There's a time a friend in Bayelsa was even saying 'arewa! arewa! arewa!.. we only love-vendor rides for our people ba?' lol.. i explained to him the name came up just because of where we are from, and how proud we are. Plus a great inspiration of the great Sardauna, nothing much.


Tell us everything you do?

We simply tune your vehicle to dance to your tune. We do car interiors, lamborghini doors, custom paint jobs, wheels (rims), and bikes tuning. Anything custom in relation to what you need.


That's cool, in naija!? Waow! What challenges do you face now?

Ok, right now.. Aside finance like we said earlier, there is this challenge of trust. Even as we have a large following from all age groups and different classes of people, due to our relative youthfulness, many people are 'scared' of handing over their vehicles kind of. But some, when they
check and inspect the vehicles we've worked on, and the satisfied clients, they get impressed and bring in the vehicles.


Looking back, how do u feel?

Anytime we look back, we find it hard to believe that we could get this far. We feel awesome! And this motivation keeps us going. Rides & pimping was more of a hobby, now its more of a profession, and right now it is our way of life.



And your dream in the next few years?

The whole arewa customs was a dream. In the next few years, we have a dream of setting up new creative workshops across the country, promoting the game of motorsports, establishing driving and safety schools, and organizing more motor events in the country. Yeah, more events et al, as we've been working with our great colleagues from the Darkknight Motorsports. With the work they are trying to put in now in the country on motorsports, future generations will have a solid foundation to build on. So also the capital car city entertainment, spirit on wheels, hydraulix, and Corsa MotorSprot.We have a dream!


Tell us a little about ur team members?

The main arewa customs team is made up of architects, self-disciplined professionals.. Mukhtar Hamza Makarfi, Muftahu Adamu Abdussalam both architecture students of KadPoly, and Ahmad Ishaq Musa Ningi, a postgraduate student of the school of architecture, ABU Zaria.
In this biz of ours, we also consult other professionals in relation to their field to give out the best to our clients.

Ice prince is good in the sense that, he spits what makes you think. Most people hate the aboki swag, but i love it cos its original and It's quite difficult to arrange Rhythm and poetry (The concept called RaP for Short), the way Iceprince manages to. I think ma aboki is still spitting good. Y'all need to hear him on the remix of Di'ja's Yaro.
