While it's true that very few of the private unis are of good standard (e.g. covenant, Bowen), it's still advisable that u consider good federal unis except u r being promised job in the private university. The advantage of a private uni however is that you'll likely finish in a record time. No UNNECESSARY DELAYS by supervisor & school bureaucracy which charaterise most public unis. Best of luck in your academic pursuit! |

emmasege:thanks Emmasege,I was nt promised a job by the private university I have in mind, I'm jst tired of the delays associated with federal and state schs,having obtained my BA and MSC from state and federal schools respectively. I want to study and leave school at the right time which as U pointed out is one of the perks of a private uni. My fear is the rumoured discrimination in terms of being qualifired for jobs btwn graduates from private and federal schs, I felt that since I alredy ve two good degrees( nt being boastful) that would be enough to stem any discrimination in that aspect. Thanks for commenting pls dnt hesistate to express more of ur opinions if u feel inclined to. |

The reality on ground is that there are lots of discrimination going on in the academic circle. I hv seen discriminations against PhDs obtained from some universities in India and Malaysia. I ll advised that due to the stress and effort involved in successfully completing a PhD degree, try and do it in a well ranked university. You won't want to spend 3 years pursuing the degree and start suffering discrimination. For a fact, am sure you can't get an academic job in a school like OAU if you have PhD from a Benson Idahosa University. Its even better you have your first two degrees from a low ranking private university and then top it up with a PhD from a well respected university than the other way round 1 Like |

rudian:why would u think of such? Why not take ur time and search for a good tuition free school abroad for ur PhD? Then for home, there are still good federal schools in Nigeria that dont exhibit those delay issue and its related, Unizik for example. Give ur PhD an added advantage by going for a good federal university, this is Nigeria. Erase That private school thought from ur memory, if u dont want an insinuation tomorrow that u possibly bought the certificate with money |
