Good day Niralanders,

I was just wondering, from the topic above, do foreigners really fancy Nigerian education to enrol in it?


Throughout my almost 14years as a graduate, I always see school fees for indigenes, non indigenes and foreigners, so this came to my mind again, if people travel all the way from abroad to study in Nigeria?
Yes, they do ... mostly in private schools like convenant uni and co

These people must be from lower African countries...

Have you ever met with an European 🇪🇺 man doing postgraduate in a Nigerian school?
Yes, especially at postgraduate level at collaborative research centres in Nigeria Universities.
More like exchange programs

I saw it happen once. Two European men enrolled for African Studies. They didn't last up to a year. The hot sunshine drove them off despite the university giving them preferential treatment based on accommodation and facilities. Come to think of it, they were likely post grad students. No wonder they looked older than most of us.

Mining engineering in FUTA attracted students from Cameroon in the mid 90s to mid 2000s. They were termed foreign students. Their rooms were different in the hostel. I think they also paid in Dollars. I know them

Not so much. But the Chinese love to work here...as bosses. They can boss us around even with their minimal education because we allow them.

Mine is to inform job seekers here of any available openings. I post genuine jobs here regularly https:///184037139835240/ Avoid paying anyone for a job. All my jobs are free
Re: Do Foreigners Come To Nigeria Universities To Study Like Nigerian Do? by Nobody:
I had two guys. One dangerous Chinese boy wey dey my levels and another not mixed German/ Naija dangerous guy too but he wasn't foreign cos he mostly grew up here. Knew some other sweet girls from GH, ivory coast, Togo, I don't count Lebanese as foreigners because most of them are more Nigerian that a lot of Nigerians... leave their looks.

They don’t..

They are not as in wise as we are..

Foreign education is one of the reasons the Naira is sliding badly..

We waste our money servicing foreign economies..

Most of the parents training their children abroad end up very broke..


Another reason for our endless poverty..

It’s only in Nigeria, someone that worked with shell becomes a poor man after retirement, cos most of them spent all on fancy education..

It’s also another reason the Nigerian middle class is not growing..

We spend too much on private and foreign education, while other wise nations spend less..
You aren't 50% accurate.
The main purpose of recent increase in foreign education is very clear. I need not shed more light.

A Nigerian -US citizen was sent to Nigeria to study at futminna. The father wanted him to experience Nigeria, the boy suffer Wella but he's very brilliant.
I have a feeling people took advantage of him maybe for the early years in school before he adapted to the Nigeria lifestyle and became street wise

Many of them in our schools are quiet and not loud. They dont go around announcing themselves like Nigerians do in other countries.
Re: Do Foreigners Come To Nigeria Universities To Study Like Nigerian Do? by Ibrahimcoomasie: 7:15pm On Sep 27, 2023
Yes. Exchange students at OAU. They often come to study Yoruba language. We see them all the time when I was a student at OAU.

OAU also had several African international students. Heck, one of my lecturers was even originally from Cameroun. He came to study, was retained and lectured on.

I agree, we have such students, but note that most of them have their parents of sponsors residing in Nigeria.
However, I'm yet to see non-resident parents sending their children to come and school in Nigeria due to our fantastic ASUU strikes and so on. My bros, gone are such days. Not again. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Yes. I've seen many Chinese and Americans in my school doing a degree program. I was forced to interact with one of them sef about their choice.
