Op have u heard of Igbinedion university before....if you have i then think you should know and believe that some private universities like Igbinedion are just exactly like public universities,no restrictions on students,u experience student life,the class is condusive for learning..........the only difference between Igbinedion university from public unis is just the school fees....


One thing i noticed recently is that all lady graduates of Igbinedion smoke. Well the ones i have met and they are quite a number.



So op mind you not all private unis are glorified secondary school

educational discrimination, tribalism, religious conflict... all in one country! infact... I just don't understand the beef with private unis.. seriously you choose to be in a fedral uni, that's fine. I choose to be in a private uni, totally my business. so what exactly is your problem OP??
"freedom is restricted" let them worry about that
"its expensive" you are not the one paying
"exposure" (really? maybe you should explain the kinda exposure you mean
"life on campus is fun" I can only laugh at this. morality is the key word. but since your definition of fun is clubbing, parties, dating, gossips (well I know you ll out grow that someday). and talking about meeting real people? hehe trust me you have no idea
"hard work is compulsory" and you think we don't work hard in private unis? well my dear, we do. the only difference is that we get to see the result of our hard work.. which makes working hard easy unlike in "some" federal schs that the hard work of a student is being frustrated..
"produce more mature graduates" maturity is an individual thing. private unis graduates are doing just fine.. you might be too hateful to see it buh it doesn't change the fact..
finally, its not the uni that matters, its what you can deliver

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, etc.​.​ 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. -

DangotePikin:
Why do you waste your time, commenting on silly posts such as this one? Threads like this one should just be ignored. I really pity people that think that because they attended a particular school they are automatically better off than some other students. They will receive the shock of their life when they get out. Making it in life, is not as much about your school than what you know individually.

Statistically, private schools even produce better graduates. Only about 10% of public uni grads are actually very employable, but for privates, i'd say about 40%. This post reeks of ignorance.

IfyChuky:
On the contrary, I still think the op's post atleast holds some 35% sense, and i'm strongly convinced he must be writing strictly from the poor mans point of view hence It's only for consolidatory reasons dat a post as such, kud prolly be sourced.

Although I don't know why am being so conclusive, bt something strongly tells me dat should some one offer this op an admission to covenant, lead, babcock, bowen, and its sort for a subsidized fee, say #50k per semester, meka i hear say he wouldn't go running after it without having to give a hoot about all he had written.. (sum ppl sha)


My dear.., I feel ur plight.., and sincerely.. I'm convinced I understood perfectly well with regards to where u're coming from..,

You preach freedom and the fun it brings thereafter as against qualitative education, long-lived edifying morals, and the "real exposure" not the such u preach, bt dat which builds the every you with professional connections and otherwise?.. My broda...,



















U must be a comedian..

obaty:
Nope, the reason why they get job faster is because of connection . Most student of private universities are kids of one politician or a wealthy man that is very influential and we all know that to get almost anything reasonable in Nigeria, you have to know one big man or his wife

bollybees:
I used to have this formed opinion about private university but during my internship days it changed. An average CU student is well prepared for his/her career as opposed to Public Universities.
The best of your professors from public Uni are the lecturers in some of the private school.
This year webometric ratings covenant university leads in Nigeria, it is just a starting point for them.

1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence:

I don't have a stronger argument on point 1 but I will like to refer you to pre Arab spring vs post Arab Spring in countries like Libya and Syria. If their fight for freedom was worth it.

2. Cost of education:
You probably killed this, but education in federal universities and state universities are subsidized. It is free tuition, imagine you pay tuition fee you will know Education is costly.

3. Public university g​ives “exposure” to students:
I don't agree with you here.
I will rather say public uni gives negative exposure like what u mentioned cultism, aristos.
Private Universities expose their students to:
a) the best faculty members
b) industry relevant general courses not the boring ones we do in public schools
C) corporate dressing discipline
D) professional trainings relevant to course of study
E)exchange program with foreign uni

Ask the employer of labour who they will rather employ.

4. Life on and off campus is FUN:
I agree with you on this one.

5. Hard work is compulsory:
No substantial point giving, you should know there is less time to waste in private uni, it is more time for business.

6. Public universities produce more mature graduates:
Equipped with strikes and nonchalant lecturer how is that equipment or maturity. And maturity is not in age.
