Those mentioning private university are only mentioning covenant, I agree that CU stands out but now come to think the number of private unis in the country with the percentage doing good and mention the public unis with the percentage doing good

The year I got into covenant , in my department , the average jamb score was 250, and many that wanted architecture that year and didn't have up to 260 and 45/60 in post UTME had to find some other department or school... Thats why you read the interviews with our best graduating students, learning that they had 300 and above in Jamb.

Acceptance fee in CU is paid long before fedral or state schools even start post jamb exams , so its not like they come because they were denied admission somewhere else .

Just this year, a course-mate of mines' sibling was denied Archie and computer engineering , was told at the admission office that he needed minimum 280 in jamb to make his BRQ sufficient enough to study those programmes


I dont know why you guys get all bitter and boil with rage , jumping into conclusion on matters you have absolutely no idea about... But then again, it only shows the kind of education received . smiley

Ok..


But public universities in Nigeria came before private ones..

So you mean all your lecturers and Professors that graduated from OAU, UNILAG, UI, ABU etc.. are criminals?

Education is not for everybody, sadly the rejects of those Ivy league schools get admitted to private unis where they buy their way through.
The least any dullard can get in private uni is 2:1. I lie?

Go to public schools and see pass, expelled etc. Better thank your stars you have money to buy first class.

If you attended a private University, it's simply 'cause you were privileged. Anything that has advantages equally has disadvantages but you didn't mention any of the latter but did a comparison between both schools. Don't tell me private Universities don't breed criminals. In terms of standard, I'll give it to the private universities but they do employ mediocre lecturers which will never happen in a public uni.

Fvck those kpmg, deloitte, access bank etc. that give preference to glorified secondary school students.. Everyone knows it's connection talking.

The rich that bought certificate for their kids bought place for them in those junk yards you mentioned.

Public uni students start up their own enterprises, they are not confined to the modern day slavery you call job.
All federal and state parastatals like DPR, NNPC etc. give preference to them cos they know their worth. They know how much effort the public school graduate put in to even gain admission, not to talk of graduation.

I blame the govt. that has abandoned the education sector to rot. Private schools my foot.

Well Covenant university has always been the first University to matriculate students for each new academic sessions in Nigeria for over Five-Ten years now. CU screening was done in June/July this year and when WAEC was released in August/September the admission list came out in same September.

The 2017/2018 CU matriculation was done in October 2017 with 40% of total applicants admitted, Of which 90% of total applicants are usually first time jambites of about 15-17 years of age. Babcock, ABUAD and Landmark also did their matriculations in November 2017. That says something crucial about those four universities-they are not waiting for Public University "left overs" and their students were not interested in public universities to begin with.

However most other private universities don't get enough students and have to wait till next year when public universities would have bounced a lot of ppl who would then seek Private Unis. So the argument of Ppl going to private universities when they are not able to get into public ones is only relevant to private universities like Samuel adegboyega, lead city, kolaidaisi, Christopher uni, McPherson uni, Acheivers uni and lately Igbinedion.

Private Universities like Covenant, AUN, Landmark, ABUAD, Baze, Babcock are known brands who get more than enough applications than they need.

I Graduated from Covenant and I would proceed to University of Luxembourg for Masters in Wealth Creation. I would choose Hebron now, again and again forever if I had to do it again.

That's why we have lots of Private University graduate running to University of Lagos to do their masters. Matriculating and Graduating first doesn't make you the best. Also many of the facilities you mention have no meaningful impact on the environment. Yes public education is poorly funded. I would rather go to a private university over lots of public universities. But to be sincere none of the private universities is a match for any of the Top ten Public Universities.
Private Universities are not so good either. Outside Babcock, Convenant and Elizade University the rest are crap

Mirand606:
A Counter Thread!

Incredibly Poor Quality of Education
Public Universities in Nigeria undeniably have the poorest quality of education. From too large classes with poor teaching aids to very poorly equipped laboratories to non existent academic support-Public Universities in Nigeria are the exact definition of HOW NOT TO RUN A UNIVERSITY.
In comparison private universities have smaller classes-which gives lecturers the ability to teach, impact and follow up Knowledge transfer. Also According to former NUC President, Peter Okebukola Covenant University has the highest per capita investment having spent 70 billion on 13,000 graduates as at 2013. According to NUC, about 40% of Equipment in ABUAD Mechatronics Dept are not present in any other public University. Also the President of Biotechnology Society of Nigeria also commented that Covenant university has the best Biology(Molecular Bio lab) in all of Nigeria.

Public Universities aid Criminality
Who doesn't know that Lautech is the Den of Internet Fraudsters? Public Universities generally aid all sorts of vices that are never found in Private Universities e.g Cultism, Cyber fraud, Sexual Assault etc. In contrast Private Universities are the true certifiers of "Character and Learning" - Students are monitored closely and there are huge consequences to erring which serves as deterrence to possible future offenders.
Also 99% of the Corrupt politicians in public service today graduated from public universities and started their criminality way from School. Have you heard of claims of OAU SUG looting association funds? Have you ever heard Covenant, Landmark and Abuad SUG loot anything even though they equally handle millions?

Poor Academic Support
Students of Public Schools are discouraged from succeeding in life - they are taught not to aspire for the best and if they do they are cut down. Many public universities take glory in depriving students of their deserved grades even though foreign universities like imperial college graduates about 41% of their graduating class as First class in their last convocation ceremony. This invariably affects the pysche of most graduates of public universities that they develop a sort of Stockholm syndrome where they actually appreciate the abuse and allow it foster where they eventually get to work. They end up believing that Stress is equal to Quality.Today most private universities have about 10% first class rate which is very encouraging.

Erratic and Poor Campus Conditions
From poor power supply, to poor residential arrangement to careless citing of Academic infrastructure. Public Universities are once again the way not to run a Universities. Many public universities house people on campuses like feral rats. Much of their residences are not fit for criminals in saner climes. Their libraries are usually deficit of good books and the ones available are usually torn.

Unstable Academic Calander
The only thing as unstable as public universities calendar is Nigeria's electricity supply. Public universities are erratic and complicated. If it is not ASUU it is NASU or NAAT or whatever. This is the complete opposite in private universities where staff development is prioritised and the lecturers can teach at their best rather than concentrating on teaching and imparting and not when next to have a show down with govt.

OP show us your jamb result.

People who attend Private Unis just do so to avoid the harsh realities of life, and because their parents have excess money..


Saying public schools aid criminality. Like there aren't cults in private unis. Like some of the females in these private unis are not lowkey prostitutes. Like there aren't cases of theft in Private unis.

Whoever wrote this is obviously a student or graduate of a private uni. This is how narrow minded they reason.

I choose a reputable federal university because of it's achievements over time in producing people of great intellectual ability, Although I agree with some of the points you raised.

Apart from CU, AUN and a few others, the rest can be likened to glorified secondary schools. I know a girl who dropped out of Madonna university in her 3rd year when she gained admission in UNN.

Public universities have it's many bad sides, but I would choose it over a private uni. You can't compare the level of experience from both institutions. The freedom gives you the opportunity to make decisions that would guide you for the rest of your life, not some place where you are caged, little wonder most products of private universities behave like over bloated babies and Ajebo's.

Again most of these private universities apart from the few I mentioned lack structures and their certificates aren't recognized by NUC. You can't also compare the level of competition in both, and as we all know, competition brings out the best in us.

Respect a first or 2.1 graduate from a federal university, it is not easy to rise above the very many challenges and still come out top.

I'm not in any way spiting private universities, I still believe everyone has a right to their actions and should live with it's consequences.
