IYANGBALI: and parents should not fight for the welfare of their children?you get brain at all?

Skimpledawg: We can't do tins same way bro! Yu gat ya style! If I wia d President, ah wuld put health facilities in schools n deploy Health workers to sensitize both teachers n kids on d symptoms of Ebola nd hw to tackle it, nd by so doin, am satisfyin Both teachers, kids, parents n Private sch owners!

Evathyst: See ur life outside? 'Did I said?' also referring to urself wit small letter 'i' U cnt even distinguish btw a suggestion nd an 'assertion'. Na wa o! U come think sey if dem close skul for jst some months our educational sector go crumble? All d days wey u take go skul, so na wetin to show for am nau If u can be committing such egregious blunder? I give up on u!

IYANGBALI: chisos!

IYANGBALI: polytechnics no close for naija for almost a year?abeg make we hear word jo

Skimpledawg: Criticize constructively bro!!! Easy on her*no insults plz*.......ah feel ya pain too

Evathyst: Lemme now subdue u finally. Some of doz teachers can even be temporarily employed as ad-hoc staff who wil be sensitising d public, doing a house to house search for anyone showing signs of ds disease, and also assisting in isolating anyone who shows signs of ds disease.



Lastly, from wat my parents av alwz taught us; 'Safety first....'


N:B check our previous discussion, thr is an observation thr which I want u to note.

Wokeyim: Honestly, I think schools should be left closed till January next year. Ebola is not a joke and if everything has to be tailored around ebola, I don't think we will have much to loose. Schools can be made to run four, instead of three sessions next year. It has happened in Nigeria before, when the Government was to change the school system to the present "6334" system, so why can't same be done now for an issue as serious as ebola? Elections can be tailored to run during the 2-3weeks termly breaks.

We were told that treatment for ebola will be found within 6-9months so why can't we wait? The long-term benefits will be more than the short-term ones, even for Teachers. I also thought Teachers are paid according to an annual pay on their appointment letters, and not according to whether schools are in session or not. So a teacher that is to receive pay twelve times a year will be paid accordingly whether or not schools are in session. Schools are supposed to have an emergency fund they can run to in times like this. Besides if they run four terms next year, they still get their full four-term school fees, so what is the loss there?

If this ebola gets into schools eh, the results are better imagined! We are lucky it started in big cities like Lagos, Enugu and PH. Now, imagine that ebola gets into some local school in the north? Nigerians please let us think safety first oh. No need to put the health sector under further strain when certain things could have been avoided. Doctors have advised that schools be shut down till December or January and I think they know what they are saying...

EldaTimba: I am a fresher in a public university but if money dey, na CU or babcock I go prefer.

hadunihade: LWKMD
I tink dere shud b a debate of mainland/island or face me I face u/flats

beinstein: here lies our problem.
Degree vs HND.
Private Universities vs Public Universities.
Bla bla bla bla while people out there are making money, i mean cool money irrespective of their educational qualifications or the school attended.
Why must we think people around us should live their very lives to please us?
What happens to choices and preferences?

EldaTimba: Are you for real?http://loadedstuff.com/private-universities-better-than-public-varsities-jonathan/

peppyluv02: Don't mind the kpakos like me beefing rich kids like you but modify your post and correct your typos because that is what they are holding against you. Even thou some of them write with a dictionary close to them

peppyluv02: Yea like the babcock guy that hacked his father to death
Thou I smell a lil bit of envy on this thread. The truth is that most people attend private universities for the reasons the Op listed and not because of Jamb or whatever.

If you wanna judge op by his typo then you are so wrong because a lot of graduates from public schools can't speak or write well. NYSC has proved that to us and they mostly come from state schools. My course rep then will always say 'Are you understooding me'? Several times he's being corrected and he will always defend himself with 'English no be my papa language'.

If you have the money,spend it.

Anyway, coming soon...101 reasons not to attend UNIBUJA

OrlandoOwoh: I can see the effect of your private university in the way you write. Next time improve in your written English. This is not SMS, where you're charged, and resort to writing in mnemonics to save money.

goodygirl1: this is not an issue of the lecturers but the product which is we students...i met diff students during IT days...private uni students [b][/b]hardly cope....anyways don't take it personal...no argument cos u can't change my point of view

OrlandoOwoh: Could you prove how the "better" funding private universities get over the public ones has given them an edge? Have you ever heard of a graduate of a private university toping his class in a postgraduate class? How many of their first class graduates won the FG scholarship?

goodygirl1: This is horrible....we all know the quality of private universities is low compared to a public uni....can u compare a lead city graduate with an OAU graduate....abeggi...ebola no be HIV mate!!!....just passing by tho...

donpeey22: All of 'em are same.

NobleG1: A public University stands a better chance of being recognized and respected both at home and abroad than a private one.

donpeey22: Aside that the social life among students of Nigerian private univerties is poor, most of them rely on part time lecturers from public universities who render only part time services to them. They don't spend money on hiring full time lecturers. Not only lecturers but even other staff. Go to Madonna university you will be shocked to find out that an ssce holder is the secretary of a department, while MOST departments don't have a single PhD holder.

SamConquer: Like seriously this Shiit ain't funny anymore.Should I call it inferiority complex or what on the part of this public student.why do some Moderator bring topics that are stupid in its entirety to the frontpage.Look at how the topic generalize all private universities.you are here ranting about exposure and all shitt.what is your business if church owned school decides to put some level of restraint to freedom due to how the society is.now let's talk about My school which is not a church-owned-school,guy if you are looking for that your so called "exposure" come to Igbenidion university and you would be tired of "exposure".I am a proud student of Igbenidion university come rain come shine.You think is to be in overcrowded class,few chairs,no Fans,Lecturers come once in a week thereby becoming half baked is your own definiton of "Exposure"the plain truth about most FEDERAL UNI STUDENT is that they are halfbaked but they hide under the umbrella of this already created Impression of been brilliant I come across some federal uni student,there spoken and even written english makes me vomit.KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELVES.don't try to mould yourself and think cause you are in a federal uni which is not among 2000 in the world after decade of exsistence will do the magic. NB:Money that private uni student pay is not your Fathers Money.

Kasynpaulsyn1997: my first jamb score was 163(2013) i don't rush things so i had to sit down at home and studied harder rather than going to one of the home of dumbness around,scattered all over the country........this year i got 201 and i'm already admitted to study law in ESUT!
So,son you see?!

donpeey22: Op is right! Private universities in Nigeria are so bleeped up!

oyb: You are missing something. For employers private uni grads are more desirable as entry level staff. They are easier to train, and had access to a more relevant curriculum. I will repeat all my employer (oil and gas major) new entry level hires are private uni grads. You think public uni grads were not part of the recruitment process. Private unis have reduced the available quality entry level jobs to fresh grads from public universities. I am a public uni grad, but I have been working since 2002. Unless public unis step up their game only their very best grads will get good jobs.thats what fashola was trying to do with lasu fees. In the end lasu grads will be the losers only fit for allmanenter jobs like estate agents

oyb: OP be deceiving yourself there - all I will say is the last entry level recruitment in my organisation was wholly private uni grads. The bastardization of public education means 90% of grads are unemployable. You guys can keep blathering about fun and maturity. There's enough time to have fun and mature in gainful employment.

Acidosis: There are some parents who wouldn't send their wards to OAU or UI even if their wards score 399 in JAMB. Not everyone love a rough life amidst cultists, uncultured elements, congestion, stress, struggles, reading with candle sticks, queueing for water, harrasment, intimidation, etc.

In summary, your points are invalid, void and unintelligent.

Afghanistan: hey shut up there joor. What's wrong about the OP's comment? I'm sure ur one of those private university students or maybe you graduated from one because its apparent in ur reply. Sentiments apart, public universities are way better than private universities and they have an upper hand in the labour market. Just imagine the total number of first class students a private univeRsity can produce alone in one academic year. They can be up to hundreds and majority of them will struggle to make that same first class in a public university. The OP didn't create this thread for shallow minded people. If you can't reason the truth well, hells gate is opened solely for you. Ur free to go to hell.

TamzyTamudo: I don't think they are cuz jealousy is not in their agenda,they are goal getters,they don't spend time on frivolities,this igbo guys you see causing tribal war here are people who just decided to clear the ekiti and the yoruba people of their misconceptions. Ekiti is not the most educated state and will never be it in nigeria,maybe it will when Yorubas get their country,I think anambra heads the race presently now in nigeria home and abroad.
