For the sake of sanity, computer science is NOT only about coding. Go do some research to save us the arguments cause it ain't worth it.

Peace!

Edit: This doesn't in anyway vindicate Nigerian universities especially the public ones from the fact that they are under par when it comes to global learning standards in all respite.

Nope, I'm not a CS grad. not even an undergraduate student sef. Please go ahead and ask your question(s) cause I've done some research and asking of questions from those who have been there.
