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

In those days!!!?

Only connection gives value.

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

Keep on with old glory. Which resources? Visit some of top private universities and come back here.

There's no such thing as "better value" in this topic. It's based on the false premise that one offers good value and the other is better.

But we all know that there's only bad and worse values between the two.

I say this not to spite my beloved nation. But to wake us to the reality of our decaying fatherland.

May God help us turn a good leaf.

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.

You are most definitely living in the past. Speak to contemporary HR practitioners about extant expectations.

Omoh. Your knowledge is archaic. No employer will overlook Covenant graduate o. First class and 2.1. They complete and many times outshine their counterparts from public universities

When you talk about connections .
Private University

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

Which one b passing through ND through.... Abobi, u go varsity go learn... Which is better for that purpose

Private varsity is far above federal varsities, in terms of everything, aside thugery, ashawo work, bribe taking, sex for grade ND money for grade...

UzorIyke:
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.

This a display of indescribable ignorance.

For your information in 2025, universities are no longer about size, architecture and aluta continua. There has been a serious paradigm shift. Many federal universities struggle seriously in the areas of research and other academic areas.

On the whole I would advise you to tread carefully when comparing universities. You need to visit some of these private universities and discuss with their products to know how far in front they are.

Covenant, ABUAD, Babcock engineering graduates will compete satisfactorily with any product from any Federal university. I can bet on that.

Meanwhile, try and visit ABUAD teaching hospital. Perhaps that will help you reappraise your perception.

Use commas to separate items when you type. It's also a sign that you're not an illiterate.

GloriousGbola:
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

Is it possible your particular company had a bias?

Also - Consider -

Is a University education all about the employment you can get thereafter.

Does it not also count as a life school from the point of view of being a microcosm of the larger society and to that end are Universities based on faith not limited.

Be convincing yourself unnecessarily

That First class will get job offers and scholarships
Who win?

You better wake up from this archaic mindset ...Many Fed University graduates are facing a lot of problem with these system of quotations from getting masters scholarships or PhD programs abroad because of these things ...
The chances of people from these pvt unis getting this is very high due to recommendations and grades

We’re going back to 2011 with this topic.

You go explain tire brother

I rep Fed. Non like us 😁😁

Federal University, my neighbour has a first class from a private university... Dude can't even write a simple formal letter ! And he had first class


In federal University .... To even get a first class no easy

I know one that graduated there they were minting first class like papers

Overseas, getting first class isn't hard.

It is because the public universities are not hungry for students. If the federal government stops funding and they charge the full value of a degree, they may be less stingy with giving out First Class.

Donexy16:
Yeah, buh not in all cases though

but in most cases

Private universities Bastardises the university education in most cases

That's exactly how you feel it is but it's not how it is. You are explaining from self assumption. You think it is still in the olden days they used to sell such narratives? Your narration is otherwise the exact opposite

Please Google this: "what percentage of graduates in Oxford university finish with a First Class?"

Also seaech this: "what percentage of graduates in Cambridge university finish with a First Class?"

Also google the word "grade inflation"

sammirano2:

On paper.
In reality, most top organizations/agencies rate some private universities over fed universities.
It's not easy to go through 4-5 years in missionary schools like covenant or Madonna and write all semester exams from your head, knowing you would be expelled if you try any malpractice.
On the other hand, 'Sorting' is very much common in federal universities.

When I got my job some years ago, HR was just shouting wao wao!! Like an ambulance, when I told him my almamater.
I was even surprised he was shouting...

While you are largely correct, it is selection bias. The best universities get the top students from secondary schools. Top students into top unis = first class graduates.

All federal universities are not equal. All private universities are not equal. The era of private unis not being good or their top grads are equal to second tier grads in federal unis is outdated. My advice to aspiring uni entrants is to target a top private uni if money is not the problem. If money is an issue, head to the top federal uni in your region or the federal uni in your state. For state unis, there are a select few which are acclaimed.

The core issue is the lack of corporate or graduate trainee jobs outside Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcourt. There should be enough graduate jobs outside these places so grads living there can kick-start their careers in structured organisations.

Let him go and visit Covenant University, and make research, he will know what they call resources, and good management of the resources.

Private Universities are seriously coming up. They will outpace Federal and State Universities within the next decade if care is not taken. Schools like Bowen, Babcock University, Covenant , Redeemed University etc are getting better every day. The same way Private Secondary Schools have overtaken Government owned Secondary schools in terms of infrastructure and quality teaching staff. Same thing might happen to university education in Nigeria.

Even if public schools award a degree in six days,they are always the best and miles ahead. Only in Nigeria is that possible. Lol.
