I only made a suggestion about the loan. Why are you all bickering over nothing. If there is no one to give the loan, so be it.

Since when did a typo say anything about anything.

Stop being silly. I was in the US till i was transferred back home.

They don't use CV's in the US. Resumes are used.

I expect he/she will come back to Nigeria someday hence the sarcasm.

If i wasn't so jobless today, i would have stopped responding  but i won't since a lot of you just like making noise without offering any constructive criticism

I'm proud 2 say my uncles r graduates and I know how they all got their degrees.The first graduated 3 years back and the last one graduated 2 years back 4rm unilag.My granddad was not able 2 sponsor them 2 school.They all fought 4 themselves as the man did not bring out a dime as he had told them after they left secoundary school that he did not have the money and anyone interested in furthering would do so all alone.Those guys struggled 2 pay their fees and get something doing 2 foot their day 2 day bills. But 2 day I'm happy as both r doing fine and have jobs of their own and even take care of their old man.But u all imagine including u A-town, if tuition fees were put at this current 180000,how d'u think they would have survived?I tell u,they [b]would not have thought of going 2 any uni and only God know what their lives would have been like now,probably armed robbers or something like that[/b].

You guys should not crucify this A-town dude, he seem to have a point but he has proposed it wrongly. Yes "quality" education is worth paying 180,000 or even more for, but for now we don't have that in Nigeria now, I said "quality",so the idea of increasing fees is ill-timed. Let the leaders think of how to resolve the current problems facing our eductional sector first. They need to invest in it before expecting returns, that is how it works. So, A-town, you have a point but don't you think we won't be able to afford that now?

kokoA:

And what's with the picture? You have just wasted space!

I don't agree with all of you.
As a matter of fact, this is the only reasonable plan that i have seen from this administration.
University education is not for everybody. Free education up to secondary school stage is enough.
If you really want to go to college, then you should have the brain for it. If you do, there are bursaries and scholarships available.
The reason we have the type of college grads that we have today is because 99% of them used EXPO to get into school.
What is the point of graduating 1 million students every year when you only have 100,000 jobs available.

If you feel you really need to go to college and you are poor and not smart enough, go get a loan.
This may seem harsh but is the best thing that will happen to the education system.
Tertiary education in Nigeria should not be FREE.

A-town:

At least you are now addressing the issue and not throwing insults over the place.
The notion that you have to go to school is what i am addressing here. You don't have to go to college to be successful. Yes, it would increase your chance but it is not a guarantee.
If the option of going to college becomes tough, trust me Nigerians will find alternatives.
Most students spend an average of 5yrs in school. If you know you can't make it to school and start something, you'd have gained something by the time those they went to school graduate.
I am not saying this will definitely work, i have only stated that it is an acceptable idea.

@Theseker
I would have responded to you since you've started addressing the topic but i won't because you can't refrain from cursing. Your abuse won't do anything. What we need is solutions, arguments for and against. Kapeesh

TheSeeker:

OK, I will tune down the insults. So you're saying with increment in tuition fees, there'll be an overhaul in the educational sector? How many technical schools do you know of? What policy has ever been started by an administration in Nigeria and carried forward into another administration? What good has the Nigerian Government successfully done for the poor masses? Is Nigerian education worth paying that much for? How much has the government allocated to education in the past 10 years? What do they intend to do with the rest students who won't be able to afford going to the university? How do you envisage that this will work? If they successfully put out a huge number of students out of school, how soon will their rescue plan for them --- if any will be in place --- work out? Do you have an idea how school dropouts are seen in Nigeria? Do you know what they do with themselves when they drop out? Please answer this questions and no, I won't insult you again.

A little too late. I'm done with this topic.

The blame lies solely with the lecturers not the govt. When you are making demands as if you are working in Chevron or Mobil. Where do want the govt. to get money from to offset all the huge salaries, research grants, teaching aids etc. It simple elementary finance. Income must be equal to or greater than expenditure. Generate money to pay yourselves. At 180k, imagine the billions to squander in addition to petrol dollars. Now the lecturers are shouting. I though teaching was a humanistic profession not an economic one. In the US, lecturer are not paid as if they are working in the high-end corporate world. They are one of the least paid people.  But here everybody is materialistic. From the President to the street begger. Everybody want to ride jeeps, live in fancy duplexes. Nobody believes in Nigeria but want Nigeria to believe in him. The SSANU fellow is now making themselves to look like heroes of a worthy crusade against tyrant. The unions should check themselves before they wreck us all. This is one strike too many.

Its a pity, while NANS is busy giving awards to Iwu, affordable education is slipping off their hands!!
