Your view is debatable. I 'll suggest you post it as a topic on NL some time. The fact that you finished from an expensive university doesnt mean the knowledge you acquired is more expensive than the guy who finished from a government funded university. In terms of the quality of research, it is not debatable that the public unis over-surpass the private ones. Comparing a university like Caleb to (not with) say, LASU is an embarrassment. Comparing a uni like Babcock (plus CU combined) to OAU or UI or UNILAG is like trying to determine whether a man is sleeping or dead - big difference.
The lecturers who teach at private unis are more less the ones recruited from public universities or hustlers still trying to get their feet. I can tell you i have seen them and I know the difference. A department head or faculty head at a public university is recruited to a private Uni and he automatically joins the school's senate board. What's that? A school that started yesterday is in no way comparable to a school that has been in existence for over 60 years doing great year in year out.
Private unis are confirmed business centres. No carry overs. Pay the right guy, you pass your failed courses. Students graduate with no real life skills, nothing.
Bros, it is an endless story. If you paid N950k per year for something you could get for as low as N45k with better quality, more world recognition, and with a history of resounding success globally, would you pick the former or the latter? Thats a rational judgement challenge, let me know what you think.

In response to your position, please see my response to one of your earlier positions. Yoh, I am even more surprised you sort of dont seem to know what you are saying. Would you like to review what you just wrote? The first sentence is kinda logically inconsistent...

Archmage: I calculated my schl fees for four years, e no reach 100k o

Lyoncrescent:

1. Lecturers in Public Universities collect bribe too and they sleep with female lecturers.

2. I don't get what u mean by world recognition cos as far as rankings go, u don't wanna go there.

3. Give it time, babcock for example has been churning out graduates for the last 10 years since 2003. I judge a uni by quality of its alumni. All those research stuff are bogus. If you look around you, there's a private uni graduate going places.
4. You don't wanna get me started on d subsidy thing again. What if I told that d school fees of each unilag student would amount to 350k without governments subsidy ?

5. If there is enough money, I don't mind the subsidy of public unis. But there is a trade off. Public primary and secondary schools are being igonored. GEJ opened 9 new unis, when did any federal or state government open a new primary or secondary uni ? Why can't there be free feeding in primary schools ? Would u send ur child to a public primary school ? The foundation is key.

That's my final and humble opinion.

Tmany: bro should federal government go into taking care of primary schools? Federal Secondary schools i know are still working properly and there is no outcry for more federal secondary school
and as for the comparison of federal and private university graduate i think that is an individual thing.
Personal i think private uni should stop summer class (I know NUC has directed them to stop it but not sure they... )

delors:
I swear I no pay pass 45k all my four years at OAU...and I still freaking banged a 1st Class!
Part 1, i got an accommodation...parts 2 and 3 ( I paid for Awo Annex, Moz view, enuff aro)...part 4 I got an accommodation...maybe all in all, like 45k all through!

delors:
The summer classes is a scam...its like running 3 terms in one academic calender so those who failed during the normal semester could come and re-take those papers (and pass compulsorily) after paying heavily for each of the failed courses. Isnt that an institutionalized scam?!

RedBenson:

Can u now see reasons why u are sub-educated and half-baked-graduate? How can u spend 35k to complete 4yrs programme in university?

TheRealAdonye: AUN runs an American system of education which allows Summer school.. Actually, most people use it to take courses they haven't taken before so they can finish earlier than 4 years (That's what I did and I finished in 3 and a half years).

Emmyxclusive: #teamABU Zx,18,750 per yr nd 7,090 even 4 ma rum of 2 wey i go enta nxt yr..

MOORCH MOORE: @op, Igbinedion fees didn't just cover accommodation and tuition only. They also transport students to school free going and coming back.
