UYCO:
Mr. Lecturer, you talked about some polytechnic graduates who have problem with English language. It is disheartening to note that you rely on few poly graduates who have problem with English language to make conclusion on your superiority theory. Let me educate you a little about engineering and other technology related courses that polytechnics were originally established to offer. English language plays very little role in engineering. The reason is that there are engineers and medical doctors in other countries who don't know how to speak English. They were trained with their own language. The core subject that you need is physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, agric depending on the area of engineering you want to study. It is pertinent to note that patience Jonathan is not a product of polytechnic. The man who propounded my oga at the top theory is not a product of polytechnic. Above all, I have seen an English graduate of delta state university who doesn't know how to write official letter. Is that enough for me to generalize that University graduates have problem with English language?

Good one. At least university graduates get to rise to such high estates where they get to be object of popular attack.

I have seen professors in Europe and US (including Harvard university) who can neither write nor speak perfect English Language. Yet, they remain the best at what they do.
Wole Soyinka, not a product of polytechnic.
Cyprian Ekwensi, not a product of polytechnic.
Charles Soludo, not a product of polytechnic.
Babalola Chinedum (the winner of MaCarthur grant for establishment of the center for drug development in Nigeria), not a product of polytechnic.
Moshood Abiola, not a product of polytechnic...

Don't get me wrong: this is not to say that we do not have polytechnic graduates who have risen to the pinnacle of their chosen career. I have deliberately cited the names above to counter your defective choice of Patience as representative of university graduates.

Yes, I am Mr Lecturer and it makes me glad that I am. Why you are a Mr Lecturer wanna be. You already admitted that. It is just inconsistent for you to be disparaging university education on one hand while on the other hand you are aspiring to become a university lecturer. To maintain and sustain your grouse against the university system, you should consider staying in the polytechnic setting.

A student who get five credits in two sittings will need a special miracle to be like me in the University even if I spend five years in the polytechnic playing. The difference between five and nine is four credits. Some persons have spent the last five years writing waec, they have not been able to get four credits. At O level, I was already solving 300 level problems in calculus. I don't want to be a theoretical professor. I want to be an inventor. Watch out for my mini surveillance aircraft coming up in the next five years. I will post it here for you to see. We PTI graduates don't make mouth. We make things happen wherever we find ourselves.

Ahahahahahahahahaha. I had no idea it's someone like this I was chatting with.
That answers my curiosity. Have a great life inventing stuffs.

Ahahahahaha.

You said a university graduate is likely to perform better than me even if he or she is admitted with poor waec certificate but you couldn't provide information on why and how you think he will do better than me. Please enjoy your ignorance because it is obvious you don't have an idea of what polytechnic education is all about. I don't argue with people who think only in one direction. I know it sound strange to you that I am building a mini helicopter. I sympathize with you because by your training, it seem impossible to you because you don't even have an idea of how to transfer design to physical component that is useful to mankind. I can understand your plight but not withstanding the forgoing, I expected you to have some element of positive thinking because you claim to be a lecturer.

EdoBoy90:
. Tell us where are you working as a polytechnic graduate! yours is mono polytechnic.

For God's sake, there is nothing like mono polytechnic. is this how you want to win a debate? Is this how you want to prove that Uni students are better than poly students? We have polytechnics and monotechnics. Right?

You maybe smarter, but the difference between the two is that one has the degree and one has the diploma. That is how the world operate even in developed countries. Atleast i can speak of Canada.

In an engineering office in a country like canada, you would find technologists (diploma grads) with over 30 years of experience, and these techs know their stuff, but the irony of life is that they still need to get their projects or designs approved by an engineer that graduated from Uni 7 years ago. That is how the world operate. If the technologist are not happy, they can always apply to universities to obtain that paper called "degree".

Mr Lecturer, thank you for educating UYCO for me. He never knew it was going to be like this. He taught "special training" in abroad is for polytechnics lecturers only. I have perused what you wrote and I like them.

You're such a child. You didn't just say that; you didn't just tell us you're building a mini helicopter and that would seem impossible to me? This brought to mind a funny event that took place two months ago. I attended Aare Afe Babalola's invitation to observe a young man fly coupled similar air crafts at Afe Babalola University. The media was there, Aare Afe Babalola was there and several dignitaries. Everybody was agog with excitement and amazement. And just few of us wondered aloud what the excitement was all about. The several years I lived in Europe, such crafts were usually coupled and flown by Gymnasium students (our equivalent of secondary school). Children.

There you are, you just coupled parts that you are trying to make fly and you have the audacity to claim that as an achievement? It has not even flown.

Young man...Or rather, little boy. With this your wannabe almost-be attitude you are not going to go very far. And if you do, you will end up a very bitter man because you cannot stand others beating you fair and square. And you have not even gone far. You have no more than a diploma. There are many people who have done better with their lives than you could ever achieve. You went to a Poly, I graduated with a first class from Obafemi Awolowo University. We are simply not mates. I won a Commonwealth Scholarship for a Master degree at University College London, London UK. All expenses paid including monthly stipend. And before that was over the Germany government offered me in order, a 3-month guest research grant to secure my services, followed by a three-year doctoral training grant with monthly salary and sound health package, and before that was over, two postdoctoral contracts just to keep me working with the research institute. Before that was done, Sanofi-Aventis in vitry-sur-Seine just about 300 m away from Paris invited me to take a job with them to develop a nanoparticle-based special delivery system for their new product, while Kwazulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa offered me a very tasty package to help work on some design for their HIV-AIDS drug development project. I had to turn all these down, that enough was enough, I was coming back home to contribute my quota to nation building. While in Germany I had gone to several countries for training and presentation of our work that won €20 million grant for clinical trials.

Oh yes, my work is all about translational science and it spans quantum, classical, and huger dimensions. And at the moment, there is no other person with my unique combination of skill-sets, experience, and exposure in this country. That is for a fact.

So the next time you feel your ability to cram some mathematical formalisms or couple pre-manufactured parts to make your mini helicopter qualifies you to talk down on strangers you're just meeting, take a pause and ask yourself if your recitation of memorized facts has helped anyone.

Be humble with your degree, it's just a diploma. If you're not satisfied, take direct entry to the nearest university. Have a university education doesn't mean anyone is better than you, but it sure means they are better valued by the society.

And finally, I am proud to be a Mr Lecturer. Not because I need my salary. In fact, I hardly ever notice if my salary has been paid...by God's grace I am that comfortable. Some of us take to lecturing because we are that excellent at teaching, and because we have gathered so much translational research experience that it would be waste if we fail to pass it along to the younger generation.

UYCO:
I have not seen any University graduate that can compete with me in terms of practical and theory. This is in addition to the fact that I got the best result from the technical college I attended before gaining admission into the polytechnic. I gained admission into the polytechnic with nine credits which is clearly above University requirement. Those half baked graduates from the University who combine two results to get five credit cannot claim superiority over me. I have never accepted it and I will not accept it. I have written a letter to my permanent secretary that the scheme of service is a fraud perpetrated by University graduates to undermine polytechnic education. This fraud must be corrected for peace to reign in the education sector. Let me borrow from the law of equilibrium which states that when an imbalance is created in a system in equilibrium, there must be a continuous reaction until the balance is restored. We will continue to agitate until the balance is restored. Whether I have gotten MSC or not I will continue to support the call for parity because there is no evidence to suggest that University graduates are better. I will tell you why HND is better than BSc taking into consideration the state of the Nigerian economy later.

U did not pass jamb n post utme well to enter a uni. Stop crying over spilled milk n move on.

Personally I don't think this guy really worth arguing with. He's just someone ranting his anger may be as a result of frustration the polytechnic discrimination is causing him. Mr Man, I went to a reputable Federal Polytechnic as well as a reputable Federal University in Nigeria, I can categorically tell you the difference is so clear. Are you going to talk about the level of exposure in University, calibre of lecturers, training, seminars, academic curriculum etc.
Seriously I don't get, how can you be comparing Polytechnic and University?
With all these ur points and rants, I doubt you can make exceptional success in university self.
Here is the best way to prove ur points, get a direct entry form, get admission to very reputable University in Nigeria like Unilag, Uniben , OAU, Unilorin, UNN, FUTA, FUTMINNA etc. Come back here after u graduate, then we can talk by then.

I still don't get why some people believe polytechnic education is better than university education. That's probably a way of consoling themselves.

That said, I would like to be in touch with someone as experienced and well-trained like you. I suck at the crucial technical details needed in deciding which car to buy. Imagine, I actually bought and brought a Citroen C5 into Nigeria. It uses an hydraulic suspension system...some 4 balloon stuffs. I decided based on the ride experience (it's like riding on clouds of soft cotton wool), its horsepower, and stability (dynamically regulates its center of gravity based on speed). Within a year, our Nigerian road burst the hydraulics... Hopefully we can be in touch and you wouldn't mind giving me some pointers (no more buying cars based on beauty).

. You should buy a car that uses shock absorber for its suspension system because of our bad roads. Cars that uses balloons for their suspension system are very rare because I have only worked on one car that uses balloon as its suspension system that was a Landruiser Prado. Some cars are not manufactured for a tropical country like Nigeria where the temperature is very high. Like Toyota cars, the ones we used in Nigeria are manufactured in south Africa, Dubai and some in Japan . Those manufactured from Canada are not to be used in Nigeria but Nigerians still go for them e.g Toyota Tundra, when check it, you will made in Canada. They don't use the kind of fuel and their viscosity rating of engine oil is very low compared to ours.

I will respond to you later. I am a very busy man. The reason why I am very busy is because University graduates in my office hardly do any thing without my supervision. They are liability in the office. Apart from the fact that they have deficiency in handling engineering problems, they can't write ordinary memo to PS.

Mr Lecturer, you can go for a German product like Volkswagen or Japanese like Toyota/Lexus. German products are expensive and durable and their maintenance cost is very high. fuel economy usage is very High and their parts are not too availability like on the market depend on what you go for. Japanese products, you can get their parts any time and fuel economy usage not too high. Maintenance cost not too high. Durability is also there but not like German products.

. Mr UYCO, you have nothing to say , you have been defeated. Mr. lecturer is more learned than you, more versatile than you and he has travelled to a lot of countries in the world. You only acquired Nigerian Education from a monotechnic of which if you enter Europe with it or US, you will end up as a cleaner or use it to work in the mortuary.
nothing to say. You only acquired Nigerian education. Mr Lecturer is more learned than you, more versatile than you , he has more experience than you locally and globally and he has travelled than you. Before you say anything check the ranking of University College London, London UK and also check PTI ranking in the world before you vomit trash.

Mr. Lecturer totally deviated from the subject matter and started praising himself. That is not logical. Any body can sit in front of a computer and type messages telling everyone that he has traveled round the world. He has a first class blablabla . That has nothing to do with my logical argument that is subsisting. I don't see the formula connecting his paper qualification and his inability to prove logically beyond reasonable doubt that BSC holders are better than their HND counterpart. It is even more ridiculous when he said I cannot survive a degree program whereas prostitute that hardly read their books are bagging degrees every day. If people whose formations are constantly being drilled such that some are experiencing blow out while others are experiencing lost circulation can bag degrees from their hotel rooms then it amount to academic rascality and an aberration of the highest order for the supposed learned Lecturer to insinuate that I cannot survive a degree program.

Guy! Why are arguing with yourself? If you aren't aware, you are suffering from serious inferiority complex. You don't need a University education to be happy in life, if you keep thinking and living like this, you may be miserable all your life.

There is no point comparing University and Polytechnic education, they are different and were designed to serve different purpose. Even if you argue from now till the end of time, it won't change anything, it won't change the status of a Technologist to an Engineer and won't also change their responsibility also. So just be proud of what you have achieved and be happy.

@Asala, I expected you to dwell on the issue and stop this childish talk of inferiority complex. I have never seen myself as being inferior to university graduates and I can never regard them as my superior under any circumstance. I gave you all a small assignment to prove me wrong by generating enough premises to nullify my argument. Instead of focusing on how to show that you guys are better, you resulted to personal attack which doesn't bother me. The more you try to attack me instead of providing answers to the questions I asked above, the more I am being tempted to believe that most of you didn't write your Waec by yourself. You are product of special centres.
