Bitterleaf is good but how do I take it in? If I get it capsule that can be swallowed and pressed with not-too-sugary orange juice then i would love it.

emmanuel596:
Even those without o level results still claim to be in private universities because nairaland gave them the mandate to do so....bros na joke oooo....... pls private unies in naija are higher secondary schools am Nt talking abt dat

and public unis are lower secondary schools.

The pain isn't really a disadvantage when you can get grades with cash, sex, and blackmail. You just need to focus on your yahoo to have enuf cash to buy at least 40% of your workload. Girl know how to sellout in order to look appealing to lecturers or customers.
Try that in Covenant, Babcock, or Afe Babalola and you are fried alive.

The wailers of today used to be hailer and are still hailers. The difference in their hailing tone is in the status of the hailed or hailee.

ajalawole:
State and private university are for the fantastically kworrupt, whole federal university are those who are suffering and smilling

No. State are no 1 on the chart followed by the fed uni. The private unis are under the close watch of state and fed uni controlled NUC and so aren't capable of being fantastically corrupt on their own.

Criminal shouldn't be too fed.

TonyeBarcanista:
The militants are criminals seeking for their own share using civil servants as gimmicks.


it is all ploy

They aren't criminals to me. They av realized that Osun's huge debt will be eventually offset by their oil money someday.

Ijaya123:
When the Yorubas are masters and a nightmare to some, it is not so difficult to know.

They are a greater nightmare to themselve but will rather talk about Bayelsa

Nice question.

Street sweepers helps spread the cake. It is just another flimsy excuse share the cake round this why we don't export nothing but depend on oil.

Osun people will rather bear Aregbe flunctuating stomach infrastructure than rebel. The militants are right to be angry. Bayelsa feeds the nation and so shouldn't be hungry.

Since when did EFCC become corrupt? Maybe that is why GEJ stole N2.1B to smear Buhari and Tinubu reputation with Dokpesi documentary instead of going empowering EFCC to go after them.

At least the IB can have something to beat his chest and say ''I started it'', even though we know he did little more than paper work and photoshoping.

Boko Haram is deadlier because it is 99% brainwashing based. I give ND 70%.

The last admin was one big privatization exercise.

Buhari's admin debt or previous admin's debt? If we talk, they call us names. God help us.

d33types:
state universities mainly admit their 'indigenes' and hardly from other states.
in federal universities, you have a more heterogeneous mix of students hence encouraging versatility and cultural diversity/tolerance
.

In fed VCs are local and they do admit locals through catchment area

I hereby propose that all looters be made to face a test that will determine if they can have their loots to themselves officially.
The test involves converting the looted amount to N50 bills, bundling it all into one huge lump, and dropping the compete amount as a single bundle upon the looter in question from a height of 150 meters.
If the looter survives the impact of the loot then he can go home and enjoy his loot, if it kills him then the loot goes back into the nation's coffer.

EFCC has suddenly woken up from their slumber. Good move.

Ask NUC. They regulate State, federal and private unis. Most of the NUC men are state uni grads who had post grad studies in Federal uni.
For me, the level of funding is the most important difference between them. Fed unis have better funding compared to state unis. Private unis have no guaranteed funder and are thus most expensive.
Because the NUC men are state and fed uni grads the tend to cover for the short-comings of public schools (state and fed unis) during inspection.

einsteino:
I would be very honest with you and try to be unbiased. Cheating with phones happen in private unis, matter of fact one of my interns who is an undergrad of covenant tells funny stories about what happens there. Sorting and bribing are non existent there though. However there are fair number of public unis where you cant buy grades, I graduated from one of such. Anyways am not here to lie that all is well with public unis but you should not paint private unis to be what they arent. Truth is there is problem in the entire education sector. Well nonetheless let me speak of my assesment of private unis based on my experience with their graduates and undergrads.

I am a civil engr, work in a consulting firm and I happen to have interns from covenant, afe babalola and landmark under me currently. I have had lots previously. What i can say is there a good number of good students in private univeristies but not as a result of some miracle tutorship there. A bright student is bright and just needs a little mentorship or push to be genius. I have had interns who seemed to have good grades, grades that if a federal uni student had, he would be equivalent to a genius and yet there wasnt much lustre to their capacity. I am not saying they were dull but i wasnt blown away at all. I have equally seen lots of below average ones, not like public unis dont have such, only difference is these ones don't have the long list of carry overs you would be sure they would bag if in a plublic uni.

Further interactions with them have been quite revealing, one of them back then confessed he realised he had the grades but hadnt the knowledge. We spoke at length about the fashion of teaching in his school and i must say i have reservations on a number of things. I even went through his e-lecture notes, not what i expected it to be. Well in my usual tradition, i retook him through most of the courses he needed good understanding of, so i could plunge him into the pratical aspect of structural engineering. He learned very fast i must confess that he is even smarter than some public uni graduates. He said he regretted studying at his sch, he said this when he realised i graduated from a university his dad stopped him from attending despite having gained admission. Again another misconception, he thought my university made me all, he failed to see that all they did was set the standard of examination high and not standard of learning. The problem with private unis is often the pressure to have a decent mean perfomance across the class unlike public uni where no one cares If the entire class fails. This often results in sub standard examinations and easy course work. Then there is the problem of having kids from wealthy background, kids who do not see the need to study hard for a better tomorrow. Many public uni students do not love academics but when they remember where they are from, they work hard to succeed against all odds.

You made mention of labs, oh yeah some good private unis have great labs, labs as good as those in UNN, UI, Unilag, OAU or even better. My uni had labs but did we even understand the real life applications and scientific importance of what we did in them? How many research papers was i able to publish in my 5years in school? Am very sure my answer is the same as all the private uni students i have encountered.

There are advantages of studying in a private uni, like you said you would be assured you would never be marked down, there isnt cultism(though there is drug problem in some) and the most important is the connections a student can make. One is able to make friends with kids of the elites, this is as important as grades because life is a connection game.. Who you know is some times more important than what you know.

Other than these, there is nothing fantastic about them, just the usual poor nigerian educational institution. A public uni grad bad mouthing a private uni grad is just a jobless fellow, we are all victims of the country we find ourselves in.

Stop masking you half truth with needless epistle. Public unis are trash uni 97% of the time. The ultimate factor that makes private unis standard is the fact that the are regulated by public uni grads via NUC. No need for needless epistle.

To all them brainwashed Jihadist

Terrorists ran away from a conflict in Sharqat in the Salahuddin province
Their hands and feet were bound tightly to make sure there was no escape
The hapless extremists were thrown into giant cauldron of boiling water
Nineteen more were killed by ISIS for fleeing Fallujah battle last month

ISIS executed seven of its own fighters by boiling them alive as punishment for fleeing an Iraqi battlefield.
The terrorists ran away from a conflict in Sharqat in the Salahuddin province and were killed by order of Islamic State on Monday.
Before being thrown into a giant cauldron of boiling water, the seven absconders had their hands and feet bound tightly making absolutely sure of no escape, according to a local source.

It is not the first time ISIS have used boiling water.
In a Mail Online exclusive, a Yazidi teenager, who was just 17 when she talked last year, revealed how every day of her nine-month ordeal was 'like choosing between death and death' as she was faced with beatings and sexual assaults by the ISIS militant and his team of 'bodyguards'.
The teenager told how she was gang-raped, whipped and even scalded on the thigh with boiling hot water if she didn't keep with her ISIS rapist's depraved sexual demands.

The emboldened part is a major lie.

As a post M.A student who has some level of rapport with my lecturers at B.A level, I've come to understand that some private universities actually solicit for marks from lecturers on behalf of their students.

School authorities in a particular private university in Osun state beg lecturers to raise grades of E & F students based on the consideration of money paid.

And from my interactions with graduates from private universities - Covenant, Babcock, Bowen & Redeemers; I've come to a conclusion that they lack the rigour of research/academia. What I'm trying to say is that they're being taught the basic, they're aware of surface information (as far as History as a discipline goes) but further analysis and in-depth research seems not to be their thing.

I mostly don't take them serious but I do not brush them off either.

You r talking trash man. It is public schools who don't do research and bribe, sort, cheat with phones, have no laboratories 'n good library. They are ever pulling private uni and their products down out of insecurity.

You beat me to it. Even if he meant 500megabit/sec which amounts to some 500/8 megabyte/sec i.e 62.5mbps it still makes no sense

Teempakguy:
with 500mb/s, your data should finish in 0.2 seconds.

explain??

Aregbe has failed and he knows it.

Strike 4 no specific reason. God help us in Nigeria.

While the IB was there . . .
Stealing was no corruption
Defense Ministry budget that had hitherto averaged $1B averaged excess of $3.5B with no improvement
Cassava bread idea was pursued endlessly at the detriment of Tomato conversion, maize, and wheat
There was good economic policies and excess fund but you borrowed to pay salaries and handed over for lack management skills
Electricity generation frequently touched the 0.00000 MegaWatt mark

Looks nice . . .

Oil curse . . .

N160

Buhari has effed up so far concerning the Fulani Herdsmen issue but the doesn't make him anywhere as clueless as the IB himself.

jbichene:
finally someone that understands .

Nigerians just crave thing blindly without understanding know how behind production. I would like the dude to tell us how much the prototype cost and let's compare it to the Locally made alternative. People don;t know that these prototypes they crave are made with state-of-the-art 3D-printers that consume expensive printing materials.
