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.
Yes!
I learned about four guys who studied at FUNNAB about 20 years ago through scholarships.

I doubt so. The standard here is questionable.
You are a complex and not well informed. can you proudly name your school to know where you are coming from.

There are many of them at Turkish Nile University in Abuja but I’m not sure if they are mostly residents in Nigeria or from abroad.

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.
It certainly isn't bro. The much stronger countries are just stealing other countries resources and lying that they are peace makers.
Look around you, the evidence abound

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

Yeah you're correct, including Rivers State. South-West and North-West parts of Cameroon speak English, reasons they prefer to study here as a result of proximity, easy access, short Journeys.

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.
.

Yeah.
The Anglophone Southwest and North-West Cameroon suppose to be part of Nigeria, but they choose to join the Francophone Cameroon when the opportunity came, today they're regretting, theyre facing neglect and marginalization from the Francophones, now they want their own country "Ambazonia"

Efut and Qua ethnic groups in Calabar, Cross River State migrated from South-West Cameroon to settle down here many centuries ago. They have Ndidem and Muri Munene as Traditional Patriarch.

Citizens of other African countries usually come to Nigerian institutions to study. I personally know many Ghanaians, Ethiopians, South Africans, Liberians etc.

But anytime you see the western oyibo Caucasians in our institutions, just know that they are here to learn things that have to do with our indigenous languages, practices, culture, spiritual knowledge etc.
But have you ever seen a white man ((European or American) come to our institution before for studies?
Re: Do Foreigners Come To Nigerian Higher Institutions To School? by Pacesetter123(m): 3:11pm On Aug 11
Why not? They do!
The university I was as an undergraduate ,we have many African foreigners studying there with us.
Camerounians,Liberians,Gambians, Ghanaians and Togolese.
The were plenty in my sister's department/Faculty of Arts.But none was in my department in the College of health sciences that we were.
2 siblings in particular were friends to my sister.They were from Togo,they studied Communication Arts .

Yes, in OAU, ile-ife. About 14 years ago, several students came from the USA to study courses like Ifa, Yoruba language and so on. I counted more than 30 of them and I recall a few of them were doing some deep studies on African witchcraft.

I think they do, but probably at the PHD level. That particular American lady was doing it at the PHD level. Very interesting lady, I must say.
