Funny people on this thread. Who told you that CU graduates are children of the rich? A lot of parents borrowed money to send their children to that school. Some of them don't have the connections you think they have. Learn to argue with facts. A lot of people just hate the school so they belittle any achievement of the school.

AbakalikiPress:


Lol we better pray for better universities in our "Potopoto republic" instead of screaming "Afonja" Upandan like deranged ugandan lunatics, even as they zoom off and leave our folks in the dusts of education.

Very soon we will still blame them for our low sperm count.

I don talk my own sha.

Statsocial:
As released by Stutern
Statistics where obtained between 2010-2016. Only three Private universities made it to the top 20 while the rest are public universities.

The connection I mean is in terms of asking for their resumes. After screening and all that, they pick those who scale through but why not give such opportunity to other school graduates.

As for oil sector, the CU graduates work in their administrative/finance dept but engineering dept often comes from UI, UNILAG, Unaab, uniport, Uniben, OAU, Nsukka graduates.

CoCoLav:
Please someone should clear this confusion for me.

If Unilag has 1 million graduates and 500 thousand of the students are employed

Covenant has 100 thousand students and 70 thousand are employed

Would it be fair to say Covenant University has a higher employment rate without taking into account the average number of graduates per institution?

TheVictorious:


What you are calling connection is simply information and safarigirl is just hating. Now the truth is this: no company will employ an incompetent folk to the detriment of the company, even if his father owns the company. But when an individual from a particular university stands a better chance of getting employed simply because of information that can simply be because he is more current (Now look at the trend, individuals from Lagos and related regions are getting more employed. Apart from the fact that there are panoply of companies in this region, there is more access to information). Also if companies prefer to assess only individuals from selected universities out of a big number of similarly informed others, that has to do with "reputation". Similar treatment is accorded to individuals that schooled in good & reputable schools "abroad"; even though they may not necessarily be better. Which is why ivy league varsities always have a better employability as compared to their counterparts all over the world; even to a good number of ivy league institutions are fast dropping in substantial areas of academic ratings.

Did I hear you say it's not fair? Well, may be it is.... "for the company". So much money is spent in recruiting for vacant positions and going by such assumptions help the company reduce the cost of doing so by screening out unworthy candidates. What if there are worthy and better candidates among them? Again, this goes by probability and statistical inferences. There is a greater probability that there will be "more" worthy candidates from the more reputable institutions than the less reputable ones, or even the ones who don't give a damn about their reputation and in like manner, the probability of getting unwanted candidates from a less reputed varsity is higher than from a well reputed one.

They should have also included Lagos business school to prove what I'm talking about. Another example; ABUAD at the moment is very much ahead of Babcock in Research, and academic indices but Babcock is there and ABUAD is not (majority of people reading this now may even be asking what is "abuad". Why? Reputation!

Having worked as a Human resource person for few years in a manufacturing company, UNN should top that list. They are academically ahead and are always bold during interviews. It takes them a few months to become authority in the company. The only disadvantage they have, they easily get another job and resign unexpectedly. My boss don't joke with them. Second is ABU Zaria. You need to be in the interview room to hear how all eyes will be on them when asked... "We have seen all in your CV, can you tell us about yourself" There is this glory by just pronouncing University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. I'm not a graduate of both. But would love to add both names to my CV.

safarigirl:
Lol, CU has the most employable graduates? That in itself is a joke

*modified*

I just learnt connections is what gives these people jobs. They don't necessarily know a thing, mummy and daddy just set them up, hence their employments. That makes sense.

Anyway, better an employer of labor than an employee. You spend your life working for someone else and never achieving your goals

hardbody:


Do you know what they call MBTI?

That is what determines the personality types of bold people during interviews, not a factor of the school they attended. HR persons sometimes even need to be taught that people's make up is not a function of their uni. Biological and social interactions play huge roles.

Chuksdede:
So unical is nt among....... Hmnnn

No problem

mfm04622:


Have you worked with any CU graduate? I have not but I have worked with 2 that came to do IT in my office. The difference is clear! I don't doubt this

obataokenwa:
I've been opportune to work with most of them anyway and I unlearned and relearned. Forever grateful to my boss.

wristbangle:


Most time through connection. CU graduates dominate banking and oil/gas sectors. Go find out dear

MrHackmed1:
Yes..Proudly Made in UNIMAID

hardbody:


Guy, are you minding that post?

Malabites are holding down key job positions in virtually most highly rated institutions.

I can reel out at least 10 banks where malabites are heads of departments at executive positions.

I can give you at least 3 in upstream O&G institutions and a whole lot of others.

I have no qualms with claiming best universities while the lowly rated ones are displaying skills, getting the jobs and employing the highly rated uni graduates.

Just do your bit and be good at it.

hardbody:


You have therefore been restricted in your interactions. In that case, do not make faulty generalisation. Thank you.

Lyoncrescent:


Question I will ask you is best in what ? Harvard business school has one of the best MBA programs in the world same with London business school. Our own Lagos business school has one of the best MBA programs in Nigeria with their recent aacsb and amba accreditationsthat no other business school in Nigeria has. Every top business school in the world has at least aacsb,amba or equius accreditation. Universities need to have a niche field of excellence then build their reputation and branding from there. Not every course offered by Harvard is the best. So when you say good universities in Nigeria are in south west , I ask good in what ? There are brilliant and employable students in every university and better believe that if your parents can afford to pay Babcock and covenant school fees, they will do everything in their power to get you a job after graduation or sponsor you overseas for a masters degree. That masters degree may be the one that actually influences employability and not the first degree. I went to Babcock so I'm not hating.

obataokenwa:
Bro, do investigation all-round and see for yourself. UNN and ABU got the best in offices and companies nationwide.

I know hence the reason I stated earlier that they ask for their resumes when there is job opening and use their recruitment to screen in those who are fit to work with them.
