ROYALFRAGRANCE:
Nawa o

are you still coming tonight?

Realestatevixen:
Hmm... I pray this will not be another clueless journey of 4 years.

Las Las, we will be alright.

we don enter am already.

ecolime:
You can remove subsidy on everything but you see education and health, either of them must not be tampered with.

That's about the only thing the impoverished masses are enjoying in this country.


Are you normal at all?

it's obvious that the guy is not normal

Kukutenla:

Mushroom universities? But your master attended one of them!!
Covenant is not top of universities index in Nigeria pls. The university is doing well no doubt but its not strictly due to funding alone but proper management and professionalism.
For Covenant you keep touting, there are five private universities that are shambolic in same Nigeria. How do you reconcile that?
Igbinedion was the first private university in Nigeria and highly expensive too. Where is it today? Money can't cure all ills... or should I say more money can't

How do you achieve top notch management and professionals without funds? It all boils down to funds cos they have the funds to employ the best hands.

Let me get you right? Are you saying the government can fund universities to compete with private?

Kukutenla:

That's a very myopic view. Your per capita income is below 2k with very high rate of out of school children and largest number of citizens living in poverty. Those are the citizens you expect to fund world class universities.... How realistic is that?

The government can always invest in primary education to make up that loophole. University education is not for all. Let’s bury that ideology of making it look so important.

Anywhere on the entire Earth, if you want to get the best, you pay for it.

Guyman01:

This increase in school fees that Obi promised to do the same will favour me and my family

Good. So no more tears from election loss.

SangoOlukosoOba:



Infrastructures, primary education, security and job creation.

Infrastructure: Govt is using bonds and PPP

Primary education: exclusive preserve of LG and states

Job Creation: Really? Govt uses money to fund job creation?

Security: Granted. But we know govt us making of mess of that presently.
Again. I ask. What exactly does govt do with the humongous tax resources and revenue from mineral resources.

JasonScoolari:
Don't be a silly fellow. Uniben is a federal university in Edo State, their fees has skyrocketed because of the useless man you support.


Be extra reasonable.

Even University of Abuja that's at the seat of power have tripled their tuition fee and many students are dropping out of school, with others differing their admission to go and hustle for their tuition fees.

It's really a tough time for poor masses in Nigeria currently.

This is what happens when a man who believes that improved igr is an indication of economic growth is given mantle of leadership. He does not know that growth is measured by the gdp of an economy and not igr. I don't know where he read his own Economics.

Zaccheus the tax collector!

That’s what’s used to run the country. When you ask me such questions, how do we fund States, pay salaries and service debts?

We use those proceeds to finance the country.

SangoOlukosoOba:


If you familiar and truth about the university educational system, you should be able to accept its in shambles.

I said earlier and will reinstate. If you lit standard and quality on the table, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

We want a UI and UNILAG to compete with Oxford and Harvard, but not ready to pay the price.

If you keep bringing pity to the table, then you not ready for progress.

University education is not compulsory. We hyped it to make it look like.

Are Oxford and Havard public universities? And even at that, they still get subvention from their govts.
If you want Oxford and Havard, face Covenant and Bowen.
I'm sure you're one of those who will still claim Christianity is a scam

SangoOlukosoOba:

States get allocations and use such allocations to pay salaries. You can't tell me servicing of debts is what govt is all about

Dybala11:

We shall see the outcome of that decision quite soon, you want youths that are demoralised concerning education to still run far away from getting educated. Hope you know that those lots you're supporting are probably products of free education themselves?? Very soon, subsidy on secondary school education too might be called to question. God help us all.
You're sha on the side of the opinion that only the kids from a rich home should have University education, those whose family are employed by the government and getting paid peanuts which they don't even get regularly are doomed to their fate. We shall see how productive that idea will be. 😂😂😂

You really think those guys are sincere? They are govt paid trolls whose jobs is to gaslight ordinary citizens to swallow every bad and incompetent idea of govt. They know the truth but choose to spread lies cause that's their survival means.
They must be resisted so they can go back and tell their paymasters that Nigerians are not as gullible as they think

Skyview01:


please, PO has nothing to do with this. PBAT will take the responsibilities for all his decisions. PO is not the president and I do not want to hear his name about any PBAT's policies.

I don't blame them.
They are looking for political holes to bury their heads in and rocks to crawl under and hide.
They don't want to face the responsibility and stress of governance, but seek to rope in others into their manifesto as if all Nigeria is governing with them.
We saw that a lot in the last regime. They trumpet every little success and look around to blame others for their failings.

Once again it is just a pity that political opposition remains infantile and ignorant in this democracy, if not they will have used propaganda to steam roll the government and battered their image severely with superior ideas.

This is one big mistake we continue to make in this country. There is no progress in autocratic rule. There is no leadership that knows it all, there is no development without consensus.

Kukutenla:

Affordable for who?

Who will pay for it. How come anything that has to do with inefficiency is always pushed to the citizens in Nigeria then govt spin doctors like you are sent to browbeat the people into silence.
I hope you're aware countries like UK, US, Canada, Germany have universities that are actually tuition free for their citizens. So stop all the cappings

The UK government will assist Nigeria’s banking sector and innovation

It's obvious your problem is that you attended a very poor university. University is not class based in any decent society not even in China. It should be available for ALL who desire and deserve it.

And it's important too. TSMC which generates $10bn for Taiwan was started by a university don. The Silicon Valley which you all envy today is a direct product of Stanford University in California. The level of development you're looking for is not possible without universities.
Stanford while private was heavily subsidised by the Stanford family for generations and even till now still relies on grants from california elites like most other US universities.
So quit the bull crap of making university a class affair. You're becoming a disgrace with such thoughts.

SangoOlukosoOba:

Let me get you right? Are you saying the government can fund universities to compete with private?

No. You manage funds to achieve topnotch results and not the other way round. It's obvious you're not a student of management.
Nigeria is a country that does not manufacture plane tyres yet the president has ten aircrafts to himself while elites like Tinubu have two or more. Yet no one is taxing them heavily for owning such items in the poverty capital of the world.

Govt can fund universities to compete with private. In the 80s, private universities couldn't even compete with the govt run ones. It's all about proper management. If you want the universities to be privatised, it's a different story but to claim govt can't fund universities is a big lie. Most of china's universities are govt funded and are far better than the ones we have. How com? A communist govt o.

Let’s widen their tax net and reduce their purchasing power😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Share the tuition fees of those universities you mentioned and lets relate it to minimum wage of those states.


Let’s see if the lower and middle class can afford it. That’s the only way you can make a point.

Also, make your points brief, I don’t like novels.

GeneralDae:

Even your Obi promised to do thesame thing. I can give you proof.

Is Peter Obi your president?

I think it is time the National Assembly wakes up to assert its authority and starts to project the views of the people. There are several things the government is doing that are subject to debate and deliberations in other climes.

Surely the funding of college or higher education SHOULD BE UP FOR DEBATE and not decided by Executive fiat because education is a fundamental right.

And although it is understandable that government cannot possibly provide free higher education for all, whatever decisions are finally taken must be agreed first by all citizens after thoroughly exhausting all other options.

Don’t worry gradually they are pushing the youths to the edge of a cliff, it human nature to wanna fight or resist. We will fight back it just a matter of time.

SangoOlukosoOba:


🤣🤣🤣

You are funny!

Not funny at all, I have spent almost six years for just four years course in UI. Btw I'm responsible for everything, school fees, feeding and others so also many of my friends. Hustling everyday to meet our daily needs. That werey that knows nothing dey talk rubbish.

I keep repeating same thing.

Let’s imagine cost of governance is slashed. Do you personally believe the government can fund 50% of universities to the standard of covenant?

Tekahashi:
if this one reaches my school, na just to sit down for house

Not only you comrade, I'm even depressed like this.

azizsystem:



Guy, are you serious about that diabetes cure?

sure but currently off to wrk untill i return to the villa. Very potent

SangoOlukosoOba:

Why are you making Covenant a standard to start with when UI, Unilag. ABU are above Covenant in both world universities and national universities ranking? Are you only impressed by the aesthetics or the quality of education and research?
Like i told you, for every Covenant, there are equally babcock, igbinedion, Madonna universities as well.
So quit glorifying Covenant.
Besides, Covenant operates on strict religious principles. Should we inculcate that in all govt unis too, since Covenant is your prefect model?

UI . Now I have an idea of who I am discussing with.

Take your school for an example and be sincere , school is living on old glory. Education, infrastructure, and welfare is dead . A graduate of that school will NEVER match that of a covenant. The margin is wide.

I am sure you heard stories of what that school was like before. Have you ever asked yourself why it is retrogressing? If you have please share with me. I want you to answer your own question.

Walk around your school and ask yourself, can the government really fund it, if it decides to reinstate back to the good old days. The answer is a big NO. Even local government monthly allocations cannot fund it.

Just pay the old fees, photocopy your abgado card and put in your file.

It will be bad of me to use a foreign university cos that will be wild, and why am using a university local to the country. And moreover, the school is doing very well and deserves every kudos for now. I don’t care about their religious affiliations, but inlove with the excellence they churning out.

You could easily relate the high fees to their standard and quality.

SangoOlukosoOba:

What!! Are you serious?

Well, FYI if you're of low income and you are brilliant in the US, you qualify for scholarship and not even loan to such universities. If however your tests results are not exceptional and you still want to go to such schools, if you're granted admission, you can access student loans. Lastly, if you don't make their grade but you still want to go to college, there are cheaper college and some even free colleges you can attend.

I hope you are properly educated now.
The reason it is being related to minimum wage in our case is because options such as scholarships and loans are not readily available and the only cushion which is relatively cheaper fees are about to be removed.

https://thegisthouse.com/the-uk-government-will-assist-nigerias-banking-sector-and-innovation/

To do what

SangoOlukosoOba:


I keep repeating same thing.

Let’s imagine cost of governance is slashed. Do you personally believe the government can fund 50% of universities to the standard of covenant?

You cannot know that without transparency in government and without debate in parliament. The best you can do is to speculate as to what government can and cannot afford and what you as a citizen consider to be a priority which may not necessarily be the priority of government.

Subsidies on education can never be placed in the same boat as subsidies on consumption.
Education is a fundamental right and as such funding should be open for debate just as is happening in the US concerning student loans and the lot.
