You are on point, at least this move will save the face of private universities, especially the well performing ones and novel ones that are burgeoning. If not what is the need for private universities in Nigeria, if they are not bringing any thing better to the nation's already failing educational sector?

Statsocial:
Exactly! We need to prioritize quality above quantity. We have numerous Universities that can't compete. I really don't want to run down this private university because it is new but on second thought Afe is also young but started quite strong infrastructurally.

So there you have it(summit university library in Kwara) pls why should a university library look like this One may argue that it is a new university but so is Elizade and ABUAD. Everyone does not need to build universities. You can build a college of education if that is all you can afford but unfortunately even some state universities' library look equally scrappy.

Lool. I don't understand what's going on. Could they officials have been bribed to accredit this. We well meaning Nigerians need to write to NUC ASAP.

Run away from any Cleric owned organization or religious owned organization. They are the worse set of people to deal with.

Come to Aqua Rapha and See how much slave they have made from people. Trust Enugu people to embrace slavery in the name of working for their daddy Mbaka.

Interesting, can't take ds OP serious atleast some of my family and friends finished from there and they are doing well in different areas of their discipline.
First, you created your acct yesterday just for this purpose, meanwhile tagging uniben photo to your petty stories like one forced you to enrol into d school knowing quite well about their rules and regulations ...i guess u did so poor in your jamb and that couldnt make way for your choice (great Uniben) I wonder what u gain from running people down.its true some spill over sudents (lazy ones) there had issues with some GES courses but they caused all ds for themselves, students don't work hard anymore. Our generation/youths are so lazy that we take things for granted. Priority reshuffle is d new motto... We channel our efforts into slaying BS (wannabes') and social media vibes.

TheVictorious:
No sir. I don't believe you on this.

Even though I promote private universities and believe in the potential they hold in redefining the nation's academic sector, Madonna is one university that doesn't really go down well with me.

I think the running administration and overall standard of that school is one that begs a lot of questions.

1. The accreditation of their courses. Many have been questioned over time, without any statement of the school to dismiss that.
2. Their website: who are their principal officers (at least, if not all lecturers) and what is their academic qualification, how about courses?
3. Lack of transparency: where are the school's structures, academic works??, so many other things (mind you they're one of the first private institutions in Nigeria).
Many other things I can't continue to itemize
Now, just search the school on google, you hardly find any information about their ongoing academic activities, conferences, etc. Mostly admission advert.

Also here on Nairaland, we've debated about a lot of issues over time that have always made a sizable number of the students want to leave, just conduct a search here with the key word "Madonna University" and read down to 2006 and tell me what you think.

MADONNA UNIVERSITY AS A PONZI SCHEME IN NIGERIA

This is broken silence from one of the students who has been frustrated in in the University.

Madonna University is one of the most popular private universities in Nigeria, founded by VERY REV. FR. EMMANUEL MATHEW PAUL EDEH CSSP. OFR

It has about Three Campuses which include, Elele campus, Okija Campus and Akpugo Campus

Madonna University is a university with a difference; don’t doubt it is because what happens inside here cannot happen in any other university in Nigeria,

Inside here Human rights are highly prohibited …

The school doesn’t care about student’s feelings or their good interest rather they bring up policies against the interest and joy of Students,

Students opinion are not being looked into or settled rather it gives us suspension if the not expulsion and the school panel is for justice rather where they decide what will happen to you

In the year 2016 after the killing and bombing of properties in the North East.

The Father Founder decided to offer a free Education to the students who are being affected which the students very happy , without knowing he was using for International business and Awards.

During this Event of fake free Education he invited some foreign agencies Like UNICEF, A former prime minister of Ukraine and a former who gave the support of 80 million Naira to the so Called father Edehs Charity organization, After which he now restricted the free Education to only final years Students who were only 12 in number, and paid only their tuition fees which was #30,000 out of about #450.000 they pay paid as school fees and he pockets the 80million naira which was donated for support.

Some times when foreigners visits our school, he introduces us as less privileged people that is under his sponsorship.

Currently Medicine students are paying 1.5million Naira, Pharmacy 980 thousand Naira, law 1.2 million with other departments paying more than 500 thousand Naira, during an international convention last year he said the school fees is to small to run the school .

In 2016 when students where transferring from The school to other universities due to Maltreatment in the school, they increased the transcripts fee from #40.000 to #500.000 which made many students drop out because they cannot afford the school fees again and they cannot afford the transcript fee.

Presently now Madonna is providing the Highest spillover students in the country, 40% to 45% spilled because of either philosophy, theology, German or French and sometimes the tell u your script is missing or they will tag it Excess credit Load. In some many cases lecturers will give u CA but at the End of the day Exams and record will say u don’t have CA , Sometimes they do this just for you to spill and pay fees again.

In my Class Medical Laboratory Science 2013/2016 set, we are about 300 in the class but when NUC the presented only 50 students and they warned the remaining students not to come to class.

Security treats us like we are armed robbers or less privileged and if you retaliate you will tagged a cultist and u will be expelled that is what happen

In Akpugo 2015 when some students were brutally beaten and accused to be

Cultist

Even our Registrar and some of our Good and intelligent lecturers has left the school because of barbarity, brutality, savagery, wickedness, cruelty, abomination, enormity, outrage, monstrosity, obscenity, iniquity, transgression, injustice, abuse in the institution

please I call on NUC and other Education regulating bodies to investigate on this matter, we are really suffering here, nobody wants to talk because of expulsion please come for a secrete investigation , thank you

OP the school has rules before you were admitted. You signed an undertaking to abide by the rules and regulations governing the university, it was not forced on you.


I was in Madonna for five years and i cannot collaborate your story.

OP this is a big fat lie. I still dont know what you stand to gain with this. As at 2010 when i graduated, transcript was 15k. last year when i got transcript for my masters, i paid 20k for local and 25k for international. So there has never been a time transcript was 40k.


Now this is the biggest lies you have told in your write up. OP i didn't have a carry over throughout my stay. The courses you are mentioning are not offered by every department. And the ones that do, there are credit units attached to them. If you fail a course, you write it again. Its the same rules everywhere in the world. Stop spreading falsehood. Please which one is excess credit load? You don't know how weighting system works? And how did you arrive at your statistics? NBS?

Finally, Madonna University like any other institution has its own challenges and peculiarities and they are actually not contained in your write up. Private schools have rules which is expected that you adhere to because you signed and agreed to obey. No one stops you from leaving the school if you are fed up.
Please i want to advise the OP to stop spreading falsehood and smearing the name of an institution that has thousands of graduates out there.
And yes, I graduated from the school and i am doing just fine in my Career.

pinkpant:
will you shut up there my friend... because few lucky people you knew are doing well does not mean the rest that are suffering are lazy... there is nothing you can say to justify the harsh treatments these students go true on daily basis in that God forsaken university.
Typical Nigerian mentality once you and your households are OK the rest of the other people suffering should be blamed for their predicament instead of saying the truth.. I had a cousin there too who did well but it did not stop her from telling the truth as it is.
That's why we will never go forward in this country, refusing to speak with one voice.

Juanthenairague:
Let me allow your vulgar words slide, learn how to address people

SPDAZZY:
I dont know how true everything written in the article is but I can verify that my cousin had a spill over cos of one course: German.

lastmaster:

Amgreat70:

THANKGOD For Igbinedion university

chidekings:
This is true. I went to one of their secondary schools. We are always presented as less privileged to foreign visitors.

Its really a shame.

pinkpant:
OK, sorry bro... I don't normally do that sha.. but you wear calmly twisting the whole thing to blame the op that he must have failed jamb, or he's a social media wannabe, when we know that all he's seeking for is justice.
But you were trying to digress his point which was wrong.

eminent007:
Are you not?

Victornezzar:

Exactly! We need to prioritize quality above quantity. We have numerous Universities that can't compete. I really don't want to run down this private university because it is new but on second thought Afe is also young but started quite strong infrastructurally.

So there you have it(summit university library in Kwara) pls why should a university library look like this One may argue that it is a new university but so is Elizade and ABUAD. Everyone does not need to build universities. You can build a college of education if that is all you can afford but unfortunately even some state universities' library look equally scrappy.
