Hello, post the names and locations of such private schools here, so we can verify your claims. And then tell us what proportion those schools constitute out of the total number of private schools in the nation.


Hello Oga, please post a link to your surveys so we can read and verify. Tall claims will not fly....

Although, I'm not supposed to involved in the debate whether there are expensive private schools in Nigeria or not or the fees charged are real. However, these things exist and it's not possible for CU or any institution to offer scholarships to 50% or more of her student body as she or any doesn't have a buoyant endowment fund. Let's be realistic.

There is no amount of breakdown that will justify the cost. How can the less privilege get such quality education. Maybe he should build another one for the less privilege at least comparable to the standard of government owned university. I see ministry as a reach out campaign to lost souls and not just for profit making. Even those who earn 100k per month can't send their kids there.

Quality education is expensive the world over. It is most definitely not designed to cater for the less privileged unless buffers are provided by government Nd other well meaning philanthropic bodies.

As a matter of fact I used to think that CU was expensive until I was opportuned to get close to the system and her products. Oyedepo deserves uncommon applause. He is providing superior quality education for those who can actually priotise education above all else.

Meanwhile, I am totally of the opinion that Government should have as little as possible to do with education as they have shown over time that they simply do not have a clue.

Just think about a recent gaffe where the government decided to withdraw history as a subject from the curriculum and left Islamic studies and CRK intact. Is that one a government?

Appraise the university from a clinically objective point of view and you will find out that it is providing an education for the future. Education for self sufficiency.

I am not impressed as long as over 95% of students intending to study there also can't afford it. There should be a balance between offering quality education and making it affordable. The little girl named success whose story went viral because she was sent home for not paying a fee of N900. The poverty level in Nigeria is so high and we should think on how to carry them along.

It could be in form of scholarship scheme for the brilliant ones from the less privileged or building an alternative institution for them without much compromise on the teaching quality. The building may not be as costly. They don't have to live in a glass house. Whatever we do that doesn't impact on the larger populace is of limited value.

Again, my apologies for sounding so detached from reality but let's attempt to adjudge this thing dispassionately.

Oyedepo has made a very undeniably significant contribution to our National growth through the set up of Covenant university. So has Atiku, Elizade, Age Babalola, Igbenedion, etc. Now the controversy surrounding the source of the initial funding is a totally different subject matter.

For all purposes and intent, some other people should set us scholarships, endow grants, and provide angel student loans to people who are brilliant enough to study in these schools but cannot afford them.

In my opinion, Government at all levels should divest from Education especially at the tertiary level. It is too serious a matter to be treated with ignominy as is witnessed now

Believe me, if you ever have the chance to interview many Nigerian graduates you will discover why we have been retrogressing in leaps and bounds.

Public education is a big SHAM.

Be it First generation, second generation federal and even state institutions.

We really should be thankful to Oyedepo and co for RESCUING us from the sinking ship called public education.

If I am granted life and the wherewithal, I would rather my offsprings learn a good trade after a good foundation in a private secondary school than attend a public university.

My two pence though.

They have two scholarship schemes. Jim Ovia scholarship and David oyedepo foundation scholarship. Anyone can apply for the two. The entry qualification is not difficult 220 score in Jamb. The problem with a lot of people here is that they don't do proper research. They just flow with the bandwagon.

flourishing247:
Hahahahahahah. Do you live in Nigeria? I guess you don't. So many schools all over the nation. West, East, South North. All over have schools that pay 1mil -3mil per session. Those secondary schools have nothing less than 400 students.

Oga, please stop the hype. How many private schools exist in Nigeria? What is the proportion of those that charge high fees? How many of them charge the 1 million to 3 million naira per child per session that you spoke of? List their names instead of peddling petty gossip and hearsay.....

CeterisXVII:

Employable graduates, is totally different from employed graduates. How many of their graduates are fully employed, (that is the real question), not under-employed or unemployed, o!

Is it 50% or 70% of their total graduate pool, within the first 2 years of graduation? Those are the salient questions. "Employable," doesn't cut it.

You love to argue. Google can actually help you. I don't have time to start making a comprehensive list. Even Ibadan has such schools, I know 3. LOL.
It's not rumour, when you have young people around you. You tend to do a lot of research concerning education. So if you really want to know, go online. Do you also know there are schools in Nigeria that have waiting list? Just hustle so these things won't sound strange to you!!!

CeterisXVII:

When people like you lack facts, you resort to inanities. You know 3 of such schools, but you cannot list them here? Can you see how empty you sound?
