sure , I'm of that opinion, but the kind of school I'm talking abt will be the ideal school..at least d one with sanity unlike Nigerian schls.....Studying countless courses alone on the internet is my dream...I seem to be interested in many field like philosophy, public policy, constitution stuff, religion, mathematics, epidemiology etc...many of those can be leant through e-learning...but my love for computer science trumps dem, I will prefer going to a reputable schl abroad to know it

You need to differentiate Computer Science from programming.

Programming involves creating software.

Computer Science is the study of the theory and practice of computation; it is possible to be a computer scientist without knowing how to program well, it is possible to major in a branch of computer science that does not even deal with computers!

The best programmers in the world are termed '10x' programmers. More than half never studied CS in school. Two-thirds of startup founders are self taught.

The main value of a CS degree is job security in an academic environment and skills for advanced theoretical work.
In fact, except in exceptional cases, Google, FB, Amazon, MSoft and other big tech companies really do not emphasize your degree in their interview process.

Margaret Hamilton (NASA), David Karp(Tumblr), Kevin Systrom(Instagram), Jan Koum(WhatsApp), Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne(Apple), Bill Gates(Microsoft), John Carmack, Erin Parker(SpitFire), Jack Dorsey(Twitter), Mark Zuckerberg(FaceBook) and many many others are self taught programmers.

If you are serious about learning computer Science and programming go for it. Formal learning in an academic environment is of course great, but if you lack either money or time for formal schooling DIY.

Unfortunately, Nigeria is so stuck in the 17th century. Such a course cannot be found in Nigeria. We are still stuck with courses like CRK, IRK.

Knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't go back to school.
I'd just buy a computer, hook it up to the internet, download some books and start learning computer science and programming on my own as well as any other courses I fancy.
The game is knowledge and information folks, not "school".
So true bro! Can I PM you?

if i had the chance..i wouldn't have wasted my time and resources going to school.... would have utilized it on something more enterpreneurial and productive...
The basic knowledge i got in sec school was more than enough.
University was more or less a social gathering.. where d knowledge derivable can easily b obtained by someone with access to textbooks and the internet, in d comfort of his home​.
Education in Nigeria is advanced scam...

Bros, theres no good school in the world that won't teach u all tye nittygritty of programming if u are a computer science student.....Infact, computer science is about programming, every execution is a science of programming. Programming could be furthered in advance study but its a basic knowledge of a computer scientist. Programming, software design, etc are all subset of computer science....Computer science exposes you to opporunities in those discipline.
