Private Universities vs Federal Universities; Which Truly Offers Better Value?

Am here to read comments. It's been a long time I graduated from a Federal University in the Southern part of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

When you talk about connections .
Private University...

When you talk about passing through the university and the university passing through you .. federal university

Modified
For those choking on me comment, apart from the fact that majority of the private Universities are pure glorified secondary schools ... it's not all that are standard
You attend these kind of universities to have a feel of the higher institution experience

If you want to have the real experience of a higher institution, which comes in all shades then you go to a federal or state university

First class in any private uni is equivalent to 2.2 In a top Fed uni.

Is that even a question ? .h

Yeah, buh not in all cases though

How would I know,I did not attend any…

COMRADES, you don't need ask such a question in Nigeria or Africa at large. I went to a public university, the rot is massive in public university

Federal Universities better by far with resources, engagement and connections

Private universities offers nothing wonderful apart from big tuition that most Nigerians use to differentiate themselves class-wise like "I better pass my neighbour" mentality.

Most painful thing is that private universities have made young Nigerians docile by discouraging the spirit of aluta that functional SUG plant in students as they pass through the University. Now, to protest against government policies na hard work.

tell that to corporate HR recruiters

corporate nigeria has preference for private uni grads esp convenant

also the nonsense that public uni lecturers pull, where they say a is for God, B is for me and dash out Ds is not acceptable

mass failure of your course is a mark of your INCOMPETENCE as a lecturer, if you are unable to actually teach students

That's what they used to deceive you right? Go and compete with a student from Covenant or Babcock

I thought we've moved passed this already.

Nigeria has really gone that bad for this to even be a topic of discussion.

What do you mean by “connections?”

You mean parents of your class mates?

So you're still living in a fools paradise. Go to the labour market and let's see how your "genius" 2:2 graduate gets a Job.

That was before not now.
Schools like Covenant and ABUAD are giving Federal Universities a serious run for their money. They are holding their end wella;

And therefore because you think there is a rot in the public system, automatically, the private is better.

abc115:
Federal Universities better by far with resources, engagement and connections

Which resources?


Name one private university that controls resources more than any State University

Even polytechnic.

And somehow, you think your classmates parent will give you a job. 🤣🤣🤣

None
I repeat none
Why will anybody try to compare this things

You obviously don’t know what a university is.

For you to think that some HR somewhere will overlook a UI, UNN, ABU, OAU graduate for a covenant university, means that you don’t even know what the corporate world is.

Except if you are talking about about those LinkedIn “corporate” one apartment company in Lekki or Ikeja who are referring to themselves as “startups” simply because they have some money from their parent to spend.

Go and tell Shell, Chevron, UAC, or Professors Abroad seeking for PhD Students, that you are from covenant and watch them take you for a joke.

Edited:

Please pull out a recent list of prestigious international competitions (maybe for grants, MSc scholarships like Erasmus mundus or Chevening, PhD scholarships like Marie Curies Research Endowment, etc), let’s check, among the Nigerians who obtained it, how many are from public universities, and how many are from the private universities. 😀😀😀

In Nigeria? None. If you have ur money just japy

I attended both.

Private over public...

Just japa.none at all

Do you even know what a federal university is?

If you money, go to private.

Public universities are losing values everyday while private universities are gaining values. Public universities as of today is half-empty while private universities are half-full.

For me, it depends on the private university, because some private universities is equivalent to federal university even more than, you can't compare covenant university to Umudike in Abia State, UNIPORT or any federal university in the northern part.

Look at this one

You know nothing

I worked in an oil and gas company for 15 years. When we recruited GTs in the 2010s they were 90% cu grads.

Do you actually have any working experience outside of being a political shill?

You sound like the kind of mentally battered suffer head who will celebrate the serial sexual harrassers who are unable to teach anything other then resilience rather than competence

Private universities are for those whose future lie within Nigeria. Which is more recognized abroad? Universities supposed to be institutions of discovery and innovation ... schools and colleges for learning. .... which do what?
