UniportAgbero:Well from what i have experienced in Lecturing in Nigeria and being a visiting Lecturer in Europe and Asia, i can't see to much difference in the Degree Programme for say economics, accounting offered say in South Bank University, London and Covenant University, Ota. Apart from universities that are called "Red-Brick Uni's" in the UK or "Ivy League Uni's" in the USA, the level of teaching, comprehension, assimilation of course material and student acumen is the same in Nigeria, USA and UK. You can download the Modules/Course Works/Curriculum of most Europe/North America Universities online now in "Pdf" so you can compare and contrast with Nigerian University curriculum in the Area's of Social Science, Engineering, Bio-Medical, etc to see if their is any great difference in advancement. I do agree that in the area of Research and Development i.e Graduate Schools these places such as Europe and North America may be ahead of Nigeria, but on the Basic Under-graduate Level, the Curriculum is mostly the same globally, the Delivery of course content and in-depth explaination may defer as most Universities in Abroad tailor the course delivery to events happening in current times i.e if you are studying Economics or Finance in a European Universities the course material will in-corporate issues such as the Financial Crises of 2007-08, Brexit, The Arab Spring 2010-11 and its effect on energy markets global in terms of supply and demand etc |
UniportAgbero:Can you send me a link to this where the BBC carried it, Thank you.... |
Ibile77:I agree, what i am trying to explain is that we have independent news outlets now like Sahara TV, OakTV, Channels TV etc who can report on these issues now and the barrier of entry into News/Media has been reduced due to Information Technology such as the internet and social media, Start up media companies don't require so much capital now, just a laptop, internet connection and some media equipment i.e microphone, camera etc. We as Nigerians can build their own media channel and work on marketing and building a strong plant-form. Relying on foreign media to do a Job that Nigerians can do now to ensure accountability and fairness in society has a negative downside when that Foreign media entity wants to conduct propaganda against the host state that it is reporting stories in like BBC in Nigeria. Lets not fool ourselves BBC is a media outlet arm of the British Government so it will push a narrative that is in the Long term of benefit to Britain. |
stormborn28:Can we at a basic level agree that if our State and Federal Universities were improved up to the level of standard at Covenant University Ota that this would lead to more students staying back in Nigeria for their Under-graduate Studies and not seeking under-graduate studies in Ghana, South Africa, Southern Asia i.e Indian, Malaysia, Australia , Europe and North America. |
stormborn28:The Rise of Private Education in Nigeria Especially since the Late 1990's has been a result of the decline in the resource provision and general upgrade standards in the Public Sector of Education. Universities Like Covenant, Madonna, Leeds etc would not exist if the State and federal sector of University education was progressing in terms of Facility, resource and infrastructure maintenance and development. So if Nigeria keeps on producing more universities like Covenant University, this will result in less Nigeria students seeking foreign education basically at the Under-graduate level. That just common logic. |
GeniusDavid:He has a point...when in 2011-12, 1200 African students 80% who were Nigerians were removed from Universities in North London because they said they where coming into the country as students but not finishing their degree's and it affected nearly 600 Nigerian students who had to leave and look for other schools to accept them to finish their degree programme where was the BBC then?...it just a case of them dictating to you and when its their country you should accept their decisions.... |
Brika:So they BBC now is now the Social Media Judge of what Happens to so called Corrupt Lecturer's in Nigeria.. Fellow Nigerians this is not the way to go for our country...we should do the right thing and not allow so called external media houses from foreign countries to dictate what happens in Nigeria in terms of Justice and Fairness in the Society... |
naijaguy123456:You have spoken some valid facts here...I don's think they are happy about our Public and Private Universities growth and prosperity as it mean's that they will not have Pounds and dollars coming into their economy. |
BREYZ:Stop crying for European media i.e white people to save you..you will regret it when they start reporting propaganda and lies against Nigeria. |
Dshocker:No don't get mislead...The Universities are just responding to what BBC Media is doing as a reaction to so called International Attention. We should not allows a foreign media house i.e the BBC to be the one dictating in terms of public reaction to issues reported on in Nigeria...we have a National Assembly, A Judiciary, A Investigative Disciplinary Panel in Nigerian Universities...They should be doing the work of upholding fairness and justice in our Country Nigeria |
DexterousOne:I know what is going on in Nigeria...i am a Nigerian.. I work - Consult - Lecture - in Nigeria & Outside the country ...and i live in Nigeria But i also have traveled the world and know what is happening in the Middle East and specifically Yemen and what is happening their is a full scale International War..with regional countries involved...Please do not try and exaggerate and blow out of proportion what is happening in Nigeria. You should not use your platform to spew out Mis-information and half-truth's... Their is a civil conflict in Cameroun right now that is worse than Nigeria..so don't play naive about what is really going on in West Africa... |
Wantedmiller:And why do you need an outside News Agency to expose corrupt Nigerian Lecturers and Politicians...don't we have our own News Outlets and Journalist...Stop relying on foreigners to do the work that your own media should do, they will only do it with their own agenda... |
diasporaman:What is not good about people who report this stories sometimes are the grossly exaggerated claims i.e "Nigeria is becoming like Yemen" That is a statement of pure childishness and ignorance on the part of the poster via twitter. Does he even know what is going on in Yemen in terms's of the conflict which is happening there? |
ohem007:Most of the Drugs in South Africa is Coming in from the Asian Golden Triangle, countries that grow opium etc..and also from South America... See video below of South Africa Authorities Catching White South Africans bringing in drugs from Brazil.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqKcPForRfs See Report below of Drug Production increase in the Asian Golden Triangle of Thailand, Myanmar etc - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/golden-triangle-drug-production-surges-opioid-worries-181107034455846.html |
Omoslim26:You are correct that the government officials in South Africa are taking bribes from the Drug Lords but everyone know that the Indians, Pakistani's and alot of the Asians in South Africa control about 95% of the Whole Saled drug raw materials i.e opium coming into south Africa, they run this business and use most of they called "Colored People" in south africa to distribute the drugs...why is it that most of the Top Police Officers investigating the drug trafficking in South Africa are mostly Asian-South African Policemen....they know their people are the culprits but nobody scape-goats them |
midnighter:Asians control 95% of the Drug Trafficking in South Africa as the Raw Material for the drugs (Opium) are coming in from Asia i.e Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Laos into South Africa See link to report stating that the drugs come from Asia - http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/node/2319_fr |
Ucheosefoh:They are trying to give Nigerians a Bad name mean while White South African and Asian in South Africa Run Heroin/Drug Factories in remote wealthy areas of South Africa and bring them into the poor Urban Area's of Jo'Burg, Cap Town to sell... See this Large Factory below that the SA Police raided that belong to Non Blacks in South Africa..they covered their faces why not expose them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcpv4Mj5AL4 |
