enemyofprogress:
Amebos everywhere. That was how somebody tolded my dad not to register me for WAEC some years ago,at the end of the day I tooked As in all my papers and then got admission into the university where I am now reading English

Seunolad1:
is God that saved my head, English student indeed!

Ehiscotch:


His dad friend's probably had his reasons.

Just don't look at the face value of the story.

His father must have worked hard for his money and his boy scored low in Nigeria, I don't blame him for being pessimistic of the boy's chances abroad.

Plus, that probably was the needed motivation that saw the boy through his education abroad.

I bet he had the "prove them wrong" motto along with him.

9jakohai:


The reason why it is conducive over there is because fees are as high as $20000 annually.

Meanwhile Nigerians want same for less than $1000.

You cannot get a Mercedes Benz at the cost of a bicycle.Quality education is expensive.

IamaNigerianGuy:


Exactly.
I was astonished when people in my state protested increase in fees paid in public schools. The government proposed N10,000 per term. Ten thousand naira! People do not want to pay that but they want quality education.
The masses have a hand in their sorrow

jamesibor:


Is Covenant university not a better university than Texas A&M?

BluntBoy:


I don't think it has anything to do with fees. Universities like OAU and UI have had their days of glory, without the fees being high. I don't see a correlation between fees and quality of education, in federal schools.

The problem is obvious. Our education sector is in a shambles.

Fulaman198:


Texas A&M is a pretty stellar engineering school and one of the top schools in the United States. It is ranked up there with University of Texas -Austin.

jamesibor:
When did university of Texas become a top uni.

jamesibor:


When did university of Texas become a top uni. Mind you, I attended a global top 20 uni, so my judgement is relative.

Little did they know that most of our lecturers and professors have below average IQ to follow up with students with a higher IQ, the results is a flop in their result, when they can't see the angle you are reasoning from instead for them to fine tune your ideas they tell you to shut up and sit down.

lodgerill:
A Twitter user who graduated with a perfect 4.0 CGPA shared photos from his Msc graduation ceremony in Texas, USA and narrated how his dad's friend advised his dad not to send him for his masters in the US because he graduated with less than 2.1 during his B.sc in Nigeria.

Fulaman198:

MackyNaija:
