Most of d best student in University of Ibadan were once product of the neighbouring institution i.e The Polytechnic Ibadan, it's not a matter of jamb score, have seen a student with 283 in jamb dat was rusticated due to poor academic performance.
Most of d poly student scored high in jamb.
After my OND before my DE, I work with an outsourcing firm, to my greatest surprise, I discover most Bsc holders have nothing in their head, I wonder how dey pass thru uni.

Thank God that you have started to see the problem. If poly becomes the same as uni, they will produce students that are of the same quality. Soon poly student will loose their uniqueness and become like the B.sc graduates you described abv.

Prof Soyinka has said it, just the way it is. I think my case was completely different. In 1993 after i finished my secondary education, I decided that I would study marketing Management. As of that time, only one university in the whole of Nigeria was offering it as a degree course and the name of the uni was uniport. Other universities, probably because they did not seem to see the potentials inherent in this course, only offered it as diploma. I passed both my university and Polytechnic jamb exams very well. At that time, the JAMB used to set uni and poly jamb questions differently, same with exam dates unlike now that everything is merged under UTME umbrella. My parents advised that I studied either Business admin or Economics in place of marketing in any uni of choice but i declined. They actually obtained the uni jamb form for me and advised that I opt into uniport, since I wanted to study marketing at all cost. But because I never wanted to go to the university, uniport was not in my mind. Marketparents or anybody. Cheers!

Read my comments again and again and you'd find points in-there that you're looking for. I'm not here to attack anyone. It could mean an epistle to you but many others could infer valid points from it. We're all sharing ideas ok?

Dey lie small, small ooo
