Yes you are right, I am only making the point that you should compare the same pieces of data and not make false comparisons

ZZ22:
False comparison? I don't even know where you are driving but let me tell you, you can't defend Nigeria without looking stupid(I'm not saying you are stupid)
How much is Nigeria's budget for education and how is that of Canada?
How much is Nigeria's cost of governance and how much is that of Canada? do the comparison and see the kind of country you are trying to defend. A country still operating military constitution while they deceive themselves with democracy

pansophist:


So how can you explain other countries that have free tuition for their citizens and international students with better quality educational system than Canada (eg Finland, Germany and Norway) ?

Regardless if Nigerians decide to pay one millions naira per annum, the system is rotten. If Nigeria decides, it can provide this high quality level for its citizen for free.

midnighter:


Modified: that your school doesn't do it doesn't mean other places don't do it, so I don't get your point.

AgreatMan:
Actually, this is not a fair comparison.

International students pay an average of 3million naira in Canada per year but Nigerian schools charge an average of say 100k. (Rough estimates)

It's called getting exactly what you pay for. Good class rooms, but it's no big deal.

mormoney85:


what of airports is it only the locals that use it? or r u trying to tell me that foreigners don't use our airports too?

nuelyoyo:
I am not talking about how Nigeria would have been if we don't have a poor mentality, am talking about what it is now, the reality on ground.
If the jobs are available for Nigerian students to do and go to school, you think they wouldn't do it? Or should we talk about Nigeria, that has a very stressful educational system that even combining it with work is not easy, as you may either loose the job in the long run, or your education suffers severely (reference to full time undergraduate programs)

bizhop01:

Point of correction the 3 million you are talking about is for international students not for canadians.

oga stop lieing Alberta is d heart of canada..no deceive anybody..come bak if e no favour u

Hey Guys,

So I had an appointment which made me come to school early today, after that I headed to my class, as I walked in tears dropped my eyes, the memories of how crazy my class was during my undergraduate in Naija just came to my mind.

Take a look at a class and washroom and see the difference in the garbage we have back home. A school with every amenities u could ever think of,, name it . But in 9ja all we do is to glorify politicians that are illiterate, incompetent, corrupt and clueless, imagine the kind of president we have in this 21st century coupled with the cabals, how do we move forward?

Let me not talk of TRIBALISM AND ETHNIC BIGOTRY sef.. Well I won't say much, I am happy I left and I am cool but winter will soon come I will only think of Naija if I wanna come to see my Mum and siblings.

We need to do better in that country. Imagine a country with educated elites and see who is ruling us. And worst of it is that many Nigerian youths focus on irrelevant things probably scared of being picked up if they talk. If our government was responsible and accountable we would have had a better place.

Most times the weird and barbaric news I read here its saddening. It wasn't as bad as this when GEJ was in power but we won't accept the truth.

Say whatever u want to say but it doesn't concern me until I decide to come home briefly, I am only speaking for the good of all.

May God help Us.. Peace!

theButterfly:
LOL. You said "ok" initially. Why edit your post and re-mention me to argue about what you're clueless about?

You sha wan take style tell us sey you don japa!

Give me a reason why a student in Nigeria can’t work and go to school at same time or even be creative and do something to fetch extra coins in the side, but they will rather flex or join a cult.
Most of our problems are self made and mind you the % of parents that pays the fees for their kids are extremely low because as long as you a permanent residence or a citizen, education is free until you get to high institutions which a good and a reliable kid will work and school or go for a student loan of qualified
Nigeria has all it takes to be better than even Nigeria but our ponmo mentality won’t let us

nuelyoyo:

As regards to student loans, many students take up students loans in advanced countries because there is a guarantee that they would get a job after graduation, they mostly pay off the debt few years after working. You can't even talk of student loan here in Nigeria and you know why.

nairalandposter:

Those things are present in Nigeria, likewise there are environments where they aren't always.

salford1:

Some actually do it but not much. I had some classmate that worked summer jobs while we studied at OAU. They are doing very well now. Some being director/managers in multinationals home and abroad. My wife worked summer jobs despite studying one of the most difficult course at OAU.

The ponmo mentality is real as you can read some of the comments on this thread

I usually avoid front page threads on nairaland as it brings out all the mad boys and girls out on nairaland. If I had known this will hit front-page, I would have just read op's post and waka pass.

Fhemmmy:


Show me the areas where they are and i will show you an area that isn't dominated by poor students that really need those facilities.

Fhemmmy:


If you read my post well, I apportioned the blame to everyone but wait a minutes, someone taking a dump by the wall and using the wall to wipe the bum, isn’t that why Nigeria is called a shithole? Besides can u just imagine a nation with proper water, a school with proper facility and maybe they will use the washroom for such
Bros even most hotels in Nigeria are a mess except few that are not even within affordability of the 95% of Nigerians.... we are all to be blamed but beg those fools called leader to provide the basics and they won’t be blamed.... imagine the salary of a useless senator compared to salary of a teacher?

omenka:
Brother, we have a very huge problem in this country.

nairalandposter:


Nigeria has high levels of poverty, this is a fact.

As there are students in serious need of upgraded facilities, there are also millions of Nigerian kids who can't even go to school. So this problem has to be tackled otherwise the country would be in even more trouble.

MuhMubRaj:
SO BECAUSE OPPURTUNITY HAS TAKEN YOU TO CANADA NOW WHAT WE HAVE AT HOME IS GARBAGE ABI YOU CAN BE ANYTHING BUT DONT BE UNGRATEFUL. DO NOT BITE THE FINGER THAT ONCE FED YOU

It is due to per capita income.

Per capita for Norway - 62,000 dollars.

Per capita income Nigeria - 5,887 dollars.


Per capita income (PCI) or average incomemeasures the average income earned per person in a given area (city, region, country, etc.) in a specified year. It is calculated by dividing the area's total income by its total population.


Please, don't say anything slick.

Just digest these figures then ask critical questions.
