Now interestingly, most of these countries have lesser populations than Nigeria e.g Argentina, France, Japan e.t.c so you may wonder who fill these universities up. Well it is Nigerians like you and I who take badly needed forex to study in these universities especially the UK. The Nigeria of the future must own enough quality private universities to serve our people and neighbouring countries. We must also begin to believe in our universities and contribute to its success at our various alma mater. We also must build universities that would serve our development in the Sciences and not just degree mills. Some few years ago it was recorded that Nigerians spent 1.5 trillion naira on education tourism and we would continually waste such money until we focus on making our universities top notch and quantitatively enough.

Lol abeg I think its better the govt improves the ones we have first rather than trying to build more. Private individuals can go ahead to build new ones. However if its any consolation, by Webometrics or Times Higher(only UI) standards UI, Covenant university, UNN are better than most of these universities up there since they rank between 1000-2000 regularly, except for UI which ranks top 1000.

Re: 10 Countries With The Highest Number Of Universities In The World by Herolly(m): 9:14pm On Jun 13, 2017
To be frank and sincere, Nigeria can never change.....
I've noticed very many things in this country which we can never eradicate
(1) corruption
It's the champion of all times in Nigeria...... Imagine in my school, a federal government institution for that matter request for a bench lathe machine, ask me what the NUC brought for us.... A sewing machine in a mechatronics workshop... We rejected it immediately... After some months they brought a mini lathe machine of 1965, who wants to use that? Of which huge amount of money was syffoned on that project.
(2) inconsistency of the NUC Board
Inconsistency of the board is a major setback for the Nation, the old professors that has graduated since 1950s & 60s which they don't upgrade themselves will come to class to tech a student the old technics that has gone to extinction for decades and they want the country to have better leaders... My HOD which is the first corrosion engineer in West Africa and second in Africa has retired from Futa, they brought him back to education system and many of them like that.... They won't give room for the capable and agile young Drs and professors to perform.





I'm not even serious..... Why have I written all these when it won't go anywhere....



I'll keep the other points to myself. Gaskia

kaymart:
in naija, the lecturers, school management and even the government make you feel as though they are doing you a great favour by giving you education even though you have to pay through your nose to get it. Other nations canvass for people to become educated but here, it's the reverse, you need to work extremely hard to get it. Little wonder why people want to worship the certificates, 'cos they worked too hard to get it....Their certificates becomes their only investments and thus, their only means of survival. Their creative minds becomes so narrowed such that in the end, the education gotten becomes not so impactful to themselves and their society.

Hmmm
Well said

I think when they do census of countries with the highest number of religious centers Nigeria can be number one, we spend more on religion than education. I believe if the number of religious centers and industries in Nigeria are interchange the country will not be in recession and crime rate will reduce drastically as many unemployed will be employed.
