This conversation coming up again from IMF/ World Bank/ Managers of Nigerian economy. Hmmmmm.

My submissions is that the reason why China will continues to be great and great is becos the country called China will always do the exact opposite the Economic capsule or prescription coming from IMF while that Africa largest black called Nigeria will forever be doomed for always swallowing this economic pills from them including S.A.P.

How do u expect a man with limited resources to cater adequately for the needs of his 36 Children comfortable and compare with another man with equal resources and just 6 to 8 Children. Definitely the latter will achieved most of its planned objectives and equally saved for the rainy day in the care of his children. This is the closest analagy of The Nigeria public varsity.
What are we doing with more than 40 universities.? Can't we prune it down to 6 or at best 8 for efficient administration. Except we have decided to be competing with ourselves and not with the rest of the world. Govt Lamentations will not stop.

Thinking upside down Govt.,.

The Government silly mistake on Education policy in Nigeria:::

Why do we build mushroom public institutions all over the places that are just glorified dump- sites. A university that cannot accommodate between 50k to 100k students and provide them with modern classroom and hostel facilities ( classical 21 Century architectural master piece) should boldly cover their eyes in shame. Am strictly bashing our nefarious dump site public varsity.

Why can't we, the opportunist in Govt., enhance the capacity of the 6 Foremost public varsity in the 6 geo Zones and provided them with all the resources they needed to compete globally with the likes of South African peers and Egyptian university. So that they can accommodate between 500k students at a time and we enlarge the facilities. And this automatically drive down the cost of public institutions and make it competitive in itself.


check this out:::

Cairo University is Egypt's premier public university. Its main campus ... The University currently enrolls approximately 155,000 students in 22 faculties.

Students: 280,000

Former names: Egyptian University; Fuad I University

Campus: Urban

Administrative staff: 12,158

Tell me which Nigeria university can beat that. As at 2012 Statistics , Unilag operates 40k students population.
Travel › Re: Kenyan Government Clears Blocked Drainage Ahead Of The Rainy Season (PHOTOS) by starstaz(m): 8:33pm On Apr 08, 2019
AutoJoshNG:
The rainy season is just about kicking off.

Countries – especially those in the tropical region – that have witnessed severe cases of flooding due to heavy rainfall in recent years, are putting measures in place to avert such crisis from repeating itself.

For instance, in Kenya, the government is taking proactive steps to ensure that there are no flooding in city centers especially in big cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, etc.

There, the authorities are making concerted efforts to clear up blocked drainage systems. ahead of the rainy season.

Blocked drainage systems in cities can lead to flooding, a situation where water is diverted from the channels into roads, homes, etc.

Sadly, in Lagos state, a place prone to flooding, and also a place that is supremely notorious for blocked drainage systems, there has been absolutely nothing done to rid the drainage systems of refuse.

See photos of the clean-up exercise of drainage systems in cities in Kenya.

IvarTheTerrible:
[b] I paid approximately 14,000 pounds GBP for a Masters online with University of London. Regular international students pay like 25,000.

The local students pay 7,000 GBP.

My point is this if a professor in the school is on a salary of like 60,000 GBP per annum, 3 international students with their tuition have paid his annual salary. NOTE - we are over 600 students online for this session.

But in University of Ilorin, their tuition is like 23000NGN per YEAR and a professor on a salary of like 400 - 600k/ MONTHLY. It means it would take like 20 students' annual tuition to pay for ONE professor's salary.

This wide disparity will never help us. The sad truth is that a lot of students will drop out but tuition fees have to be initially increased....when standards become high and we get international patronage, we can now reduce the fees for locals (Nigerians) Universities should be given more autonomy in generating funds

Call me callous and devious, but Universities should do steady brainwashing of its students. Keep reinforcing this message "ALUMNI SHOULD GIVE BACK" and increase standards. Stanford University alumni got $1 billion dollars in alumni donations in 2013 ONLY! Professors too shouldn't just be PROFs in title only. Their pay should be commensurate with their contributions to knowledge/research/community.[/b]

I will edit this rather clumsy message later, i am off to work!
Mr Thinker man . Good points. Well articulated.

Before preaching nonsensical idealism and shoving it down our throat. Can you also correlate while this your beautiful idealism is hindered when there is no parity between dollars and Naira and pounds.

As at last check

1 Pound: will fetch u how many naira

1 Dollar: will fetch you 350 naira.

I will support this your idealism if the Government who deliberately turn the masses to pauper thorough incompetent economic policies throughout the years and decades past can restore the strength of the naira to something like 1 dollar to Ten naira.

I conclude that there is a positive correlation between the strength of the economic power of a country and the strength of their University education.

U cannot destroy our economy by your incompetence and turn around to blame us that the only way to receive Qualitative education is by paying what Cambridge or Oxford offers.

Beautiful tiles. Beautiful laid toilet. Yet those infrastructure were pushed to ruin .

This is typical of many Nigerian students carrying out their gutter mentality to destroy toilet infrastructure in skool.


Way forward::: Nigerian university system should employ facilities manager to manage skool toilet facilities as a way to avoid early decay but I must warn this will also come with consequence that cannot be predicted but will go a long way to put this structure in shape for the test of time.
facilities manager will also create unskilled job for the teeming youth.

What a funny country. So much ignorance even in places where you'd never expect to find it.
Condoleeza Rice gained admission into University at the age of 15 and graduated at 19. She got her Master's degree at age of 21 and her PhD at the age of 26.
She was lucky to have been born in a country that actually takes youth empowerment seriously and not a country like Nigeria where we only pay lip service to it.
Why stop or Delay a brainy. Allow him to run. For maturity it is a national assets and u deploy every available state resources to protect him. Nonsense Africa mentality. What would you have done to james watt ( hope I got it right) who became a professor of physics before 21years. Many years ago. Almost 4 centuries ago.
