This is a very bad analogy because you are selecting extremely privileged people who have everything on a platter of gold.

That being said, it remains nonetheless true that many such kids do lack key life skills and cannot cope outside the protections of their privilege if flung into tough and unpredictable situations. This is a fact.

PepeXKermit:
Chairman, suffering is not a virtue.

There are people that have not suffered one day in their lives and you are not better than them. They have everything,.. so saying they lack life skills, what exactly is it?

Lol. It would not tell unless they are thrown into a hard situation which hardly ever happens in their entire lives oh.

GloriousGbola:
While we will all likely face hard or difficult times, it does not mean we should celebrate poverty

Sharing a room meant for 8 people with 24 people of wildly different backgrounds and mentalities only teaches you that you don't want to experience that again. Or going to shiit in the bush. Or the school Gen being down and everyone reading with candle or torch. Or having to fetch water by hand. All these make for great stories but they do not add any value to your life.

PepeXKermit:
they also will never face any hard situation in their lives. change your mindset oga, your current state in life is highly dependent on the mindset you have. that's on period., bye,

GloriousGbola:
You can't really predict how privileged people will react when faced with adversity through. That's why the brits have a stiff upper lip.

And the problem with poverty is that it can fk people's minds up and keep them in a permanent poverty mentality state. The kind of person who insists on managing a dead car that keeps breaking down rather than replace it. The mentality that celebrates saving money over improving productivity and efficiency. A mind that sees money as an object to be hoarded rather than utilizied

I just saw it oh. Horrible.

GloriousGbola:
My son is reading architecture at ABUAD. he has been good with arts and craft related stuff from childhood and creating a project like this should be a breeze for him. add to that - i have always gone out of my way to make sure he has access to any materials he may need.

now imagine how his mind would be broken by this miserable excuse for a lecturer

Nothing can change the fact that it is distinctly easier.

Better facilities, better systems, fairer grading etc all combine to make it distinctly easier.

This is common knowledge and also logical.

And the stats also prove it.

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

Oh don't get me wrong I will be the last person to celebrate poverty.

Nonetheless I know for a fact that it takes a little fire to burnish gold and some trials in life are truly worth it. This is not to say the rich don't have trials, they do.

However in the context of the examples used by the person I was discussing with, I doubt it's apt to use the ultra privileged as examples when talking about the benefits of experience within a public university. I doubt that very very much.

A muscle not used cannot grow and many things in life are learnt by the toughening of skin. There are too many proverbs which testify to the value of certain hardships in teaching valuable life lessons. That shining privileged kid will keep doing well, but mostly because he or she is not likely to ever face a true challenge.

CorperKola:
You dont have any point

Helinuse:
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.
