FG is subsidizing by running the universities with government money while we paid few thousands as school fees.

For the purpose of argument u may not want to agree, but almost everyone knows that the "education" obtained from Private owned institutions where millions are paid yearly and one obtained from a tertiary institution affords u both opportunity to work in the same industry and function well on the job.

Yes public tertiary education has it's attendant problem like some lecturers missing lectures, some lecturers' teaching styles are archaic , etc. But as far as what u called "quality education" is concerned, both private and public varsities have what it takes to deliver . Most of the professors working in private universities were even poached from public varsities.

Except what u call "university experience" is just the ambiance, fine classrooms and hostels, beautiful buildings etc.

I am going to hard disagree.

Unless you are a particularly bright student or one whose parents have exposed you or maybe you are self motivated, you will enter labor force at a disadvantage.

I am doing my own thing now and working with public uni grads. The difference between them and the private uni grads ehn. Incoherent poorly put together power point reports. You go correct tire. One 28 year old dude came to my place for autocad training. Meanwhile 19 year olds in covenant are being taught with revit. People everywhere want guys who can hit the ground running. Maybe things have changed now. So people actually learn REAL coding in public unis today ? When I was in school it was Fortran and pascal and algorithm on paper.

I would say Nigerians pay alot of taxes in comparison to the value received from the ruling class.

Chief I have lived in both North America and Europe including the UK, and like you I hate taxes but I pay and still complain, but overall I know and see they effect of my taxes on society even some I dont agree with.

The above you listed are direct known taxes, Naija own na tax by stealth, and by god they are many... abeg whats your UK equivalent of Cof O? Or Omo Onile?

Chief we are all know the outcome of this journey? Increase in tuition and more debt on the student (poor) it is not worth being celebrated.

Its like am the only one against this - na pure capitalist una be.
The UK and US student are clamouring for reprieve, my daughter and her fellow students voted overwhelming for labour due to their promise to remove University tuition. When tuition was introduced its started like £1k now its closer to £9,000.

Chief, l have already agreed that we cannot go back to what was obtainable in the 60/70's but Universal Basic education then is equivalent of Tertiary education now. Majority of jobs that are being done now by graduates where done the by these people.

Olowunl01:

Yes oo just the way we Nigerians are the ones always begging our politicians for dem to come and lead...

You think Unilag, UI and others won't charge a higher premium than the most expensive private Uni? Make we dey watch...

BlueRayDick:


There are a lot of factors responsible for students being dull. The school the person attended is just a very tiny fraction of the factors responsible for a graduate performing on the job.

Unilag cannot charge the same fee as Babcock or Covenant. Even though they are going to have autonomy to determine their fees, they are still public schools.

Kaycee54321:


I wouldn't say a very tiny fraction.

There's a difference between an Oko Polytechnic graduate, a FUNAAB graduate, a UNILAG graduate and a Covenant Uni graduate.

The quality of foundational education given to folks in these institutions vary.

Someone who studied in Oko or FUNAAB will really need to work extra hard to be on par with their UNILAG and CU counter parts.

And I don't mean just book knowledge. Being articulate enough to sell yourself, emotionally mature enough to ask questions when stuck and versatile enough to not stutter when you're asked about the latest trends in your career...

Intelligence varies oh. But school wey person go plays a big big role.

My theory from when I was young was that the exposure and competition between students matter more than what lecturers taught them

In my personal opinion, what matters most is ur secondary school/high school education. That is the best foundation u can get; the university is not the place where u are seeking foundational education.

There is no difference between intelligent UNILAG students and Covenant University students. I've seen this play out in my personal space over and over again. U may not agree with me, but If u put an intelligent CU graduate and UNILAG graduate on the same role they will both perform well.

I totally agree.
I mean, if your peers in class are doing stuff you can't... you'd mostly level up.

Unlike when most of your classmates are just winging it, bribing lecturers to pass and gyrating every other weekend.

I'm saying one thing, you're saying another.

1.You asked what the Government does with taxes paid

2. I retorted by asking you how much Nigerians pay in income tax

And then you started talking about omonile.

Before you start to ask questions about standard of living in other countries, you first have to ask about how much the Government has to even spend in the first place.

That's why I gave the example of the UK where there is NI tax at up to 12% of your income, PAYE tax at up to 45% of your income, Council tax paid on the value of your house, Road Tax for your car, you can't even watch TV in your house without paying tax in the form of annual TV licence.

Infrastructure will not build itself. You cannot expect FG to subsidise cost of living in every sector whilst expecting taxation levels to stay low...and that's not even accounting for corruption.

This is what has to be done. Not cutting the cost of any stüpid governance that in the grand scheme of things is really a small portion of FG expenditure.
