As for the topic, I agree with the OP though not in all of them

dam007: lecturer, mind the English!

Pasca07: bleeped up?pls elucidate more?

Acidosis: There are some parents who wouldn't send their wards to OAU or UI even if their wards score 399 in JAMB. Not everyone love a rough life amidst cultists, uncultured elements, congestion, stress, struggles, reading with candle sticks, queueing for water, harrasment, intimidation, etc.

In summary, your points are invalid, void and unintelligent.

deols: How can anyone see the last two points as good. Poverty, struggling and Not getting what you want are now seen as normal.
Smh for peopleblike the op. Poverty and all that goes with it should never be seen as normal

donpeey22: Aside that the social life among students of Nigerian private univerties is poor, most of them rely on part time lecturers from public universities who render only part time services to them. They don't spend money on hiring full time lecturers. Not only lecturers but even other staff. Go to Madonna university you will be shocked to find out that an ssce holder is the secretary of a department, while MOST departments don't have a single PhD holder.

dam007: EYAH!! may you make it in life and end the streak of parental brainwash currently affecting you perception of life.. wonna see my profile? ain"t bragging.. just making a point.. BOLLOR!!

Maureenurch: @ Op, am sorry to inform u buh u have no point ,who says those in private uni doesnt live an independent,abeg there is nothn lyk freedom,remember freedom comes wit a responsibility,hw many of u in public uni have livd up to the responsibility of freedom. Abeg enuf of al these private uni this and that. Why nt meet Jamb chairman to gve al student admissn to public uni and let the private unis close down.

dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when
making a choice of institution.

I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to
lecturers… Well, that’s about all.

Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the
freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the
hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed.

They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates.
So here’s my case for choosing a public university.

1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence:

Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to
be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their campuses
and under certain rules more suited for teenagers than young adults. The laws in public
universities are not imposed on the students; they are just the basic principles a normal student
is meant to follow. It’s funny when I see pictures of private university students being punished or
hear of certain rules like compulsory attendance of chapel, feeding time tables, dress codes,
e.t.c​.​ It is absurd; these are adults​!​

2. Cost of education:

It is a lot cheaper to attend public university than a private one and this is not limited to school
fees. Cost of living on public universities is also cheaper. Students cook their own meals and hav​
e access to shops on campus and in town where prices of goods and services are competitive.
On the other hand, the cost of living on a private university secluded campus for one semester is
enough to build a house.

3. Public university g​ives “exposure” to students:

It’s more than obvious that public university students are ”​sharper​”​ than private university
students. Private university students who are often referred to as “JJC” or “Learners” by public
university students, live what I term “the microwave life” which is the easy life.
In federal universities you get to meet all sorts: from cultists to Aristo chicks, people with
different personalities. It makes one exposed to what life really is. One is exposed to the hustle
and learns how to struggle for things. There are still brats in federal universities but most of
them get to grow up when exposed to the hustle.

4. Life on and off campus is FUN:

There are so many parties to attend, clubs and events. One gets to meet real people, one also
learns to be real. There is a lot of gist and gossip, lot of things to laugh at. Rather than chapel,
it’s clubbing. Dating is even fun in federal schools. Couples express love without fear as adults.
One gets to see students that are rich and poor mingling as equals; students who express
themselves through their dressing and not relegated to some uniform.

5. Hard work is compulsory

Students in public universities have work​ed​ through exceptional odds to succeed; challenges that
help one not take life for granted. Imagine a department of over a thousand students with a very
small lecture hall or a lecturer who spends only twenty minutes in a class where he is meant to
spend two hours, or one who only gives handouts. Faced with issues like these, students work
extra hard to come out with well-deserved results.

6. Public universities produce more mature graduates:

With all the challenges: strikes, nonchalant lecturers, freedom to express yourself as adult etc,
public universities are more equipped for life after graduation. They know that things would not
just be handed to them and are used to making decisions for themselves.

Fortunately these part time lecturers deliver more in these private universities. What use is a PhD holder or a Prof who appears twice in a semester just to sell handouts? Stop lying to yourself. I attended a public institution like you did (i guess), this is not about repping its about facing facts. My kid sister in a private university has all the freedom in the world and still when it comes to lectures, its real intensive and is worth every penny.

donpeey22: Deliver more under part time appointment? Lol. I don't know the sort of public university you attended. Perhaps it's one of those where lecturers come to class thrice a semester and sales of hand outs and textbooks is the norm. Mine is a great citadel of learning that boasts of having some of the best brains in the country and even from abroad in her employ, and where academic excellence is the culture. Throughout my four years sojourn in the university, I never spent a dime on hand outs from lecturers neither did I have to 'sort' a lecturer to pass any of my exams, yet I graduated as one of the best in my set. My opinion about private universities is based on personal observation and devoid of any iota of bias.

Codedrock: well, i am enjoying ma time here at BOWEN university......

RFella: OP, I agree with all d points u stated above...5years ago, my bosom friend and I were seeking admission into the univ. I finally got admitted into Unizik, and he proceeded to Afe Babalola Uni...now 5yrs after, his mentality and attitude hasn't grown one bit..he's still dat mummy's boy and pet...I even had to save him from being duped by one sharp aristo recently...so u see

Kasynpaulsyn1997: you would have tried harder to pass utme and live the good student life in a public uni......

SamConquer: Like seriously this Shiit ain't funny anymore.Should I call it inferiority complex or what on the part of this public student.why do some Moderator bring topics that are stupid in its entirety to the frontpage.Look at how the topic generalize all private universities.you are here ranting about exposure and all shitt.what is your business if church owned school decides to put some level of restraint to freedom due to how the society is.now let's talk about My school which is not a church-owned-school,guy if you are looking for that your so called "exposure" come to Igbenidion university and you would be tired of "exposure".I am a proud student of Igbenidion university come rain come shine.You think is to be in overcrowded class,few chairs,no Fans,Lecturers come once in a week thereby becoming half baked is your own definiton of "Exposure"the plain truth about most FEDERAL UNI STUDENT is that they are halfbaked but they hide under the umbrella of this already created Impression of been brilliant I come across some federal uni student,there spoken and even written english makes me vomit.KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELVES.don't try to mould yourself and think cause you are in a federal uni which is not among 2000 in the world after decade of exsistence will do the magic. NB:Money that private uni student pay is not your Fathers Money.

tnktosin:

You got that right man. I wonder why they don't compare their public institutions to others outside this Country. Suffering and smiling Nigerian mentality. They take lectures with over a thousand students in a hall meant for 200 and call it hard work. I attended a Public institution but thanks to my private foundation i was able to make good grades. Nigerians seem to love a situation where you go hunting for past questions, studying all night till they run mad all because they still don't know their lecturers two months into the semester. Now they hate on their private university counterparts who are 'spoon fed' and will ultimately graduate ages before them.
I can only feel sorry for those who still believe Nigerian public schools are better than the private ones just for lack of freedom in a selected few. To think that suffering makes you stronger and better, is real concentrated poverty mentality in display.
I currently pay the fees for my younger sibling in a Nigerian private University and will ensure my kids get the best of education within and outside this country. They would not suffer the same fate as I did in Nigerian public institutions.


I tire for our countrymen.
