While I was in university, I knew some foreign students who were from Gambia on scholarship to study law. Interestingly they all graduated with first class because they were very very good.

Yes.

Cameroonians:1) One studied Agriculture in Taraba polytechnic

2) Medicine in UNILAG, now in Israel

3) One in Ebonyi university

Many Cameroonians fantasize about sitting for JAMB even though they have GCE O & A levels results.

Several Liberians came during turbulent times in Liberia in early 2000 and some attended our universities.

Medicine is very competitive and hard to get in Cameroon, so lots of Cameroonian come to Nigeria to study medicine esp in northern university

Have you ever seen a foreigner coming to do HND, B.SC, Masters, PGD or PHD in Nigeria? I do not mean a foreigner who already resides in Nigeria and wants to school here. I mean a foreigner that applied from their own country or outside Nigeria but wants to school in any Nigerian Higher Institution.

Jacob Zuma kids schooled at ABTI YOLA.

mrkings84:
Dem dey come.
All these Fulani from Niger republican, Congo, Benin etc who have all enrolled in College of Boko Haram aren't they foreign students?

No they are our lecturers, terrorism has never been in our history until their recent invasion

So a foreigner will leave his developed country where they have good education system and structure just to come and study in Nigeria with poor education system? That foreigner dey mad ni? We sef dey school for naija e tire us reach our soul, not to talk of a foreigner

Yes. I cam across two Chinese last week at unilag

Yes foreigners still come to Nigerian Universities to study. The number may not be as much as before. At UNILAG you will see some Chinese students. I have personally taught two Cameroonians who did their Masters degree with us.

Fatou Bensouda was chief prosecutor of icc, she is from Gambia and she studied law at OAU

When I was in OAU a lot of them were there . from different countries in Africa and some Chinese

BarrElChapo:
May be they were born here or something but there's no person fantasizing about leaving their country to come and study in Nigeria

Many of you are just happy to run down your country out of sheer stupidity and ignorance.

Have you ever wondered how come same Nigerians who survived our universities excel all over the world?

Many who traveled outside the country for study will tell you it is harder and tougher home than many other countries.

In other some west African countries like Benin, Ivory Coast etc, you will see a 2 or three story building named and approve as university. But in your extremely limited knowledge, you condemn what you should be proud of. Only a questionable child denigrate his father's achievements in public

akpumping7720:
The poster said foreign students, you are mentioning Kenyan. Those ones are fellow Africans joooooh

Arabs, Europeans, Africans are all foreign students. Some of them even get scholarship from the FG to study here and are all called foreign students.

During my days in uniport, we had students from Niger and Cameroon

There's nothing to denigrate. It is a simple question, do foreigners come to Nigeria for their university education, Yes or No ?

Is there any Briton somewhere thinking that to study about Africa's history for example, that Nigeria is the best place for them in 2026 ?

The same Nigeria where people in their late 30s like myself weren't taught one story about Nigerias history in-depth apart from the dates in current affairs.

Mind you I have a doctor friend who is a lecturer and a head of department at Harvard, who struggled so much in med school at UNN, who told me personally that the Nigerian educational system is built to make students fail using his struggles as an example.

I don't have any qualms but a system where striking is the only way to get government to pay them or find them for the basic, tells anyone that's it is messed up. No foreign will come.

Yes! While at OAU. We had foreigners from Germany, USA, Togo, Ghana etc

They do.

At my university, where I studied, we even had white lecturers from France, Germany, etc.

Even in the school where I teach now, we have Chinese, Indian, Senegalese, Pakistani, English, Beninese, and French pupils.

Nigeria is not as bad as you are projecting. Many of you want things handed to you on a silver platter. Of course, we can do better, a lot better, but, hey! We are not as bad.

doctore212:
Two cameroonian were studying the enviromental and psychological impact of oloshoism in South western Nigeria.

I later knack one of them

How old are you?

Yes they do. Education is quite cheap here even for foreigners.

Unilorin use to have a lot of Cameroonians studying medicine there as at 7-10 years back. You'd also find some Lebanese, Bangladesh, Nepal folks in some departments.

A handful of Chinese and Asians used to study in unilag too. You'd find them mainly in international relations.

Covenant University does not publish an exact, real-time live count of its current international student body, but institutional data indicates it hosts more than 80 international students from various countries.

This is answer I got from Google

There is no exact public total for the precise number of foreign students currently enrolled at Afe Babalola University (ABUAD). The university regularly admits international students from countries like the United Kingdom and others, but it publishes total overall student enrollment numbers (roughly 8,500 to 9,000+ students) rather than a specific breakdown of its foreign student population.

Around 1,856 international learners in Nigeria higher education.

Yes they do. Who dey ask this question sef? During my university days, we used to have them, Chinese and some local oyibos. These were the ones their parents lives and work in nigeria. The only difference is that they don't study hard and good courses.
But OP, I know where you're going to. Like, "can anyone from any country seek for admission in a foreign country, come be nigeria"? The answer is capital NO.😌
We have lost interest in our government, they're not doing anything.
Yours faithfully

yes, there's a Swedish lad currently studying in ESUT

silibaba:
You want to teach the foreign male students sorting
You want to teach the female international students sex for grade?

funny of you to think that these people don't sort & sex for grade over there

Step out of your 5.plot and see how foreigners attend Nigeria universities. Also come out of your shell and see what's happening all over Nigeria including the massive infrastructural projects being undertaken across the length and breadth of Nigeria by Asiwaju.

Tinubu till 2031.

Do you understand the meaning of foreign?

BItt:
Do you understand the meaning of foreign?

Not at all. You can check your dictionary for the meaning of sarcasm!

They are black Africans international students studying in Nigeria but because they are black you hardly noticed them except for their accent.
But if you are looking for white international students, you hardly see them only for few Indians , Lebanese, the fraction of white students are very small. I don't think I have met or seen European or Americans there, even as expatriate it's just a small faction of them.

Cum4me:
Have never seen. All through my years in school. The system is questionable environment like hell. Bribing and molesting female students is there top priority. Nigeria need revolution the system has nothing to write about. I regrets spending those years in school. Yahoo Con better pass Nigeria school certificate.

Yes the standard is questionable compare to first class countries but still better than majority of African countries. There are many Africans in our Universities but you may not know because you are all blacks.

BItt:
Yes they do. I used to know a Kenyan studying history and international relations.
Nowadays when I think about it, I wonder what he intended to do with the course.

Some of us are into unemployment and sometimes agriculture nowadays 🤣

I studied History and diplomatic studies and i can tell you for free that it's the reason why this earth hasn't been erased through armed/nuclear conflict.

ChangedMan1999:
Tzy Panchak, a Cameroonian musician studied in one of the universities in cross river state

Quite a number of people from the english speaking part of Cameroon attend university in Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

Yes, they do, but in a smaller quantity

People from Southern Cameroun are actually our cousins. Their culture is very similar to the Ibibio and Efik who live in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. They live in cities just across our borders in the states I have mentioned and in Adamawa State. Naturally, they will study in Nigerian Universities.

We have them in private schools in Nigeria. Bishop Oyedepo do give scholarship to students from African countries to study at Landmark University and Covenant University. Babcock also has foreigners from other countries studying there. It is not as bad as we are painting every
thing to be
