Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by ayinba1(f): 1:43am On Jun 27, 2011 |
Hello house. There is a scenario playing out at this time and I need some input here. There is a teenager who has the opportunity to live in the US with green card but also has the option of Attending a private university in Nigeria. The aunty is the guardian(father is dead, mother MIA) who does not have a similar range of options insists that she should attend university in Nigeria. What is the underlying reason for such a decision? Are the private universities really better? Or is this a ploy to ensure that the child does not attain his/her full potentials? |

Once is about aunties and uncles, I smell jealousy. I bet his aunt will not be thinkn abt this her option with her child. We are talking about a greencard here and High education. Anyways, does everything now make the homepage? |

greencard can come later, after he finishes University. who knows what will becomes Nigerian economy by the time he graduates. greencard is worth less than the academic opportunity he has right now. by the time he finishes his first degree, he will be a better person than the unnecessary struggle and the unknowns that may be waiting in amerca. and you know that it takes a split second to get lost in the potential horror called United States. Not all glitters are gold. |

Solution, tell the girl to put otapiapia(rat poison) in her anty's food because I see her Anty as enemy of progress! ![]() Tell the poor girl to run away from home and if she doesn't know where to run to I can send her details of our Priest because she need God's protection |

@SweetNecta You are an enemy of progress. @OP Don't mind them. I came to the US 3 years ago. Best thing that ever happened to me. YOu will struggle for the first 6-9 months, but after that, you become empowered to do whatever with your life and rise as hard as you can work. It is easier if you have family here. |

Sweetnecta:Sweetnecta, my spirit tells me that you are the anty ![]() ![]() |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by ayinba1(f): 3:41am On Jun 27, 2011 |
Not from heaven! And thanks for your responses. The child qualified for the green card under a special program through the mother's family. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by YoruIgbo(m): 3:43am On Jun 27, 2011 |
beejaei:Good bless you abeg, people like sweetnecta is why Nigeria is still behind, the fear of the unknown, If oyibo man fear unknown dem go build Aeroplane? or even design cloth, by now if dem fear unknown as sweetnecta described it we would have been walking about naked or covered by leaves |

If the guardians have the money, asin correct money (not the one that he'll work for 12 hours, study for 12 hrs), to sponsor the guy to study in the US, then I see no reason why they would choose Naija's education over US's. Education here (US) is BAD-A$$. It's sweet. lol. It's makes you want to study (If you know what you're doing). It's better to hustle in Naija than to hustle in yankee. Hustling get levels o. But if he can work HARD and study at the same time, then no problem. Or is the child wayward? Or wait o, if the child is gonna get a green card then I don't think it's gonna be that bad. |

ayinba1:Tell her to go to US embassy or write to them and tell them her predicament |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by ayinba1(f): 3:49am On Jun 27, 2011 |
@ the US education will be fully funded by the sponsor as far as I know. The biggest concern is that this child may age out while all this back and forth is going on. I also think it is jealousy but wanted to see if their was a different/justifiable reason for the aunty's reasoning. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by YoruIgbo(m): 3:49am On Jun 27, 2011 |
BABE!:Is it compulsory she must study in the first 2 years? She can spend first 2 years working and save enough to give her the privilege to work reduced hours when studying and that is a better approach because that worked for me |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by BABE3: 3:54am On Jun 27, 2011 |
^^ No, it's not compulsory. If her status allows it, then fine. The OP already said money is not the problem sef. I think it's jealousy then, or they are just scared to let her "into the wilderness" alone. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by YoruIgbo(m): 3:56am On Jun 27, 2011 |
ayinba1: Listen my name is Mr koju-Maribi Ese l'ogun e, tell this so called anty that I say she is a Witch!, Aje(Yoruba) ogbanje or amusu(igbo language) and for the last time please stop comparing a Nigeria private University with any University in Ghana not to talk of USA 1 Like |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by BABE3: 4:00am On Jun 27, 2011 |
Yoru_Igbo: Ese l'ogun e? I thought it was "gbogbo ara l'ogun e". Remixxxxx--lol Easy on the aunty abeg. We don't know her reasons. She probably had a vision--who knows. |

Take it. I go to a top tier private university in the US and if your getting a free ride than take it you won't regret it my school is about $50000 a year (tuition+other fees included) and even public universities cost $15000-$30000 for people who aren't residents of the state. If money is no issue than go. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by Nobody: 5:13am On Jun 27, 2011 |
DamiKhojie: Besides telling us about your school and how much it costs, i struggle to see what relevance ur post has to the topic. @ topic - A USA education is the best as long as the child has a green card. Max he/she can work for a yr or two to raise enough money to enter school or qualify for a FAFSA loan. It seems to me the aunt is trying to keep her here so she can forfeit the green card. I believe her guardians are sponsoring her for the green card primarily because she is under 21. If she stays back in naija and gets over 21, she loses that green card. Better to take it now! |

Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by iragbijile: 5:41am On Jun 27, 2011 |
^^^^ So what? Just because you dont have it doesnt mean he shouldnt bragg about his education. Dont hate the player, be better at your game |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by repogirl1: 5:45am On Jun 27, 2011 |
A green card to US is better than anything anyone can offer you in Nigeria. Say what you like but that's my op. Besides, once you get there you can make opportunities for yourself and once you've been blessed with good things you can come back and settle if you wish. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by member479760: 6:01am On Jun 27, 2011 |
Let her go get the education in yankee, even some high schools in yankee are far better than most universities in Nigeria. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by ragdollz: 6:15am On Jun 27, 2011 |
repo girl: Makes sense. |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by YoruIgbo(m): 6:36am On Jun 27, 2011 |
You guys are not addressing the issue here! the issue here is not which University is better between Nigerian Universities and USA Universities, ask the most stupid person in Nigeria you will get the same answer USA. The problem here is the bad belle anty that doesn't want the poor girl to survive and that's what we should be addressing here. Which private, federal or state university in the world is better than Havard University? |

i live in the US but i will tell you this.i attended mayflower school ikkenne ogun state for my high school education. american high school standards are not as good as what i had. even an american will tell you that. but their colleges are way better than naija. i will advise whoever has the opportunity to study here to take it. there are unlimited opportunities with college degrees in respectable fields here. and you dont have to worry about that JAMB crap. there are thousands of colleges here that conduct their own placement tests in english and math. if you dont do well in the math, they make you take some pre college math classes before you start taking college classes.if you dont have any degree or license here you will keep working dead end jobs just to pay bills but wont have a good amount in your savings. you walk before you run. everything is one step at a time |
Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by Musiwa42: 6:50am On Jun 27, 2011 |
I will say go and get your green card. it is a one time chance. And go to school. but it all depend on if you are not married. if you are think twice. Ko si oko ni america. But dont bring down nigeria universities like i see you people do online. this is one of them [img]http://1.bp..com/_nrJ7Q6RWa7w/S6yeazYvKbI/AAAAAAAAACQ/WiDL9DrDTks/s1600/covenant+Uni+refix.jpg[/img] |

Re: Private University In Nigeria Vs Usa University Education by Gbenge77(m): 6:53am On Jun 27, 2011 |
The crucial word here is the green card which guarantees her American citizenship provided she maintains that status for five years.Why would the fella miss out on such a huge opportunity? |
