alutacontinua: A child that has a conscience would take his studies seriously even if the parents are paying N20. A child that has no conscience won't even if they're paying N20 million. Don't you think

alutacontinua: Do you even realise that increase in tuition does not necessarily mean 'difficulty for parents'?
There are students who pay almost a million per annum and their parents don't even feel it. It's much more easier for such parents than some other parents who pay N10,000 per annum. In this case, do we say the increase in fees automatically means increase in seriousness on the part of the student?

Davo93: Bursary? How many state pay bursary to students? Even those that pay, how much is it that it will be sufficient for the increased fees you are agitating for?

Let me be a bit pratical here. Ondo State government pays N10,000 as bursary, same thing with Ekiti State. Osun only gives bursary award to students in there final year.

So tell me how effective bursary can be? Infact for those that pay, there is no fixed time for payment. Hence, it may not meet up with the exact time needed.

alutacontinua: The competition out there these days is tough and everybody just wants to get admitted into a university, state universities are a little bit on the easier side, hence, your second sentence. I don't think increase in the number of applicants means increase in educational standard.

As per your first sentence, I don't think I agree with that cos there are no research-based facts to support the statement. The research-based facts don't even put any state university among the first 10 universities in Nigeria.

alutacontinua: I don't quite agree with this. A student that would be serious would be regardless of how much he pays. Have you been to private universities to see the level of unseriousness displayed by some students over there?

Davo93: Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

The debaters have both written well. More ink to your pen.

My question goes to King94,
In your write-up, you obviously admitted the possibility of your opponent to say the hike in school fees may not be affordable by the less privileged. You argued there are scholarship for the brilliant poor ones. I want to ask, what is the fate of an average poor citizen who is not able to meet up with the set standard for the scholarship? We all understand what it means to get a scholarship in our country here except we are not just been real with ourselves. This is not also in exception to the corruption in the processes most atimes.

Thanks!

alutacontinua: Fine, I agree with the academic environment part, how about the academic standard?

alutacontinua: The students are not paying to the lecturers, what exactly makes them increase their efforts


For example, there was a drastic increase in the Acceptance fee of OAU some semesters ago, I think about N15,000 increase (more than 100%) if I can still remember, but I didn't see any increase in effort of any of the lecturers. They still had the same 'Idon'twanttotalkaboutit' attitude they always have!

alutacontinua: To both speakers;

You have both stated that an increase in tuition fees would guarantee a better academic environment.

However, looking at it critically and practically;
State universities in Nigeria tend to pay much more than Federal Universities...at least, I'm sure schools like LAUTECH and LASU pay more than schools like OAU and UI. However, there is nothing like better academic environment in these schools. Infact, while schools like OAU and UI tend to still provide 'places that look like hostels', most state universities cannot boast of such. Academic standard in the federal universities still beat the state universities' standard hands down. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

The academic standard of private institutions cannot be compared to that of federal universities inspite of the increased tuition fees. How do you rationalize this with your submissions that increased tuition fees would guarantee better universities?

alutacontinua: @king94, you wrote:



How exactly is this feasible?
The increase doesn't necessarily increase in the pay of the lecturers, how exactly do you think an increase in fees would make them increase their efforts?

luvinhubby: Sadism is an integral part of the nomenclature of APC and you have just exhibited such here

bloggernaija: I am not heartless ,
I get buzzed every now and again by pals with problem and who need cash to survive.
Those mates of mine are probably a 100 times better off than this woman.
But I still understand the depravity she is going through.
However,
A society without enforced rules and laws will simply whither and die.
The old Wild West around Texas had vengeance laws back in the days.
The laws may look barbaric now but they were good enough to enforce order.
The choice of words by the governor was bad.
All agreed .
But his action was right on the dough .
THE LAW SIMPLY HAS TO BE BLIND.
you cannot take your jagbanjatise to the middle of Times Square and trlalsfagar square and start frying akara.
MY BET IS YOUR BUTTS WILL BE FRYING THAT AKARA IN LONG ISLAND PRISON BEFORE THE END OF THE NIGHT.

The lck of law and order is responsible for the present state of the country.
What is the difference between this woman and igbinedion.
If you are confortable with this civil crime ,then you are confortable with more serious crimes.
This is the very reason why igbinedion walked away with a slap on the wrist and ,
You are advocating the same for this woman.
You know the reason why nigeria is shitas?

YOU

agbameta: Very well said..


The crybabies, law breakers and slum lovers can cry as much as they want.... who cares? They all are backward, unruly, uncultured and anti social people.

9jauk: 90% of Nigerians abroad,support the government in this act,no doubt,I think is absolute dangerous for hawkers to be risking thr life's trading on the road,on the hand I feel the pain of the helpless lady.

niyi20: unijos pls show up oooooo we futarians are waiting for you ooooo

iamdsam: How are you sure if this woman did something wrong. I see people on Nairaland trying to bring down the governors reputation because they just don't like him. I pray to watch the clips.
