Kukutenla: People get scholarship in Nigeria too. Let’s ignore scholarships and emphasize on the points “You” raised. What is the tuition fees of those schools, I will help you relate to the minimum wage in those countries. His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has initiated a student loan program to bigger effects of such. I will repeat again, you trading off quality and standard out of pity. |

SangoOlukosoOba:You're not a good intellectual if you pick an isolated case to make generalisations. It's like making Havard being the school that's produced highest number of US presidents to declare that schools can only be good if they produce Presidents while there's a Stanford that produced Silicon Valley that's generated billions of dollars and millions of jobs to US economy without producing a single president.

Reference: University education is not a fundamental right and cannot be as at where Nigeria stands today. Lagos is the richest state in Nigeria generating billions in revenue. Have you been to LASU before, or heard about its outstanding academic excellence? It’s glaring that Lagos itself cannot fund a university, how much more other states and FG |

SangoOlukosoOba:Who gets scholarships? Where are the scholarship boards? You lie too much. Students have had high virus cutoffs on Jamb and still end up self- funded. 1st class products have had to scavenge to do masters and even get good jobs. Don't tell lies to buttress your points. You don't need to do that because mitigating factors exist there which make such comparisons irrelevant but since you insist, about $72k overall. Where can I get the student loan pls I need it for my child |

Kukutenla: Oh! Because I was emphasizing on Covenant. Okay, compare any Nigerian university to any accredited University in UK, Canada or US? Even covenant won’t match. And why is that so? Because those countries have standards that come with high fees, and why Nigerians will continue to crave for degrees, and employers will always reckon with such degrees. |

Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Kukutenla: 7:34pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba:Oh. So you agree students loans are not yet available. So what has been your point? Those scholarships you mentioned are not govt funded and are for students who are already in school. There's no scholarship structure like you have in the US that is a accessed based on performance.

Kukutenla: His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) just initiated the student loan programme. When that rolls out, it will cushion effects. It’s a gradual process just beginning. The timing for the increment could be wrong, but initiative is the best. |
Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by EminiOba: 7:42pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba:For a few years past, the budget allocated to education has been cut back from year to year by the federal government. And you know this cut back has affected both capital and recurrent expenditures. In many higher institutions capital projects embarked upon are few years ago, are yet to be completed due to lack of adequate funds. Many factors are responsible for shortage of funds in the university and they are poor financial planning, lack of political will to fund higher education, CORRUPTION, and drop in national revenue. The education sector in Nigeria is known to be one of the few areas that do not get the right budget allocation in years back, so can you compare it with what we have today Also students pay less, even free meal. Asides of funds for infrastructure, equipment and other necessities, the salaries of staff are nothing to write home about or do you amount of money your politicians are earning annually comparing to a professor? |

Voting for APC was like telling them that we love the hardship the party is giving out, now this is the effect. By next week a liter of fuel will be sold for #700, dollar will soon hit #1000 because those collecting license for importation of fuel will need dollar for the transaction which will increase the high demand for dollar leading to increase in the price of dollar. Electricity bill will soon skyrocket, Nigerians should just sit tight because we are about to experience another level of hardship, this type of hardship is beyond what Buhari did. All the people shouting Lagos track record for Tinubu during the election time won't be spare for what we are about to face, a country where the masses failed to learn from their passed mistake as a result of tribalism and hatred in voting the right person. Assuming they agreed in voting out APC, the next ruling party would have learned from the mistake of APC 2 Likes |

SangoOlukosoOba: Well by the next elections the people will determine that. As far as I am concerned, education is not consumption, it is the foundation for development and as such is beyond the pay grade of the Executive. It is beyond the whims and caprices of any ONE president. And that is why I say whatever proposals they have to change the status quo on the funding should be forwarded to the Legislature for consideration and debate so that the people agree with the course of their own future. Once again. Education is not consumption, it is investment. Let Nigerians by themselves decide how they want their citizens to be educated. |
Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Kukutenla: 8:09pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba:Are you aware UI is 421 on universities ranking ahead of some universities in UK, US and Canada? I already told you that high fees alone is not the reason the ivy league universities have high standards. Rather, it's the reputation they have built and the standards they've achieved that gave them the right to charge such fees. Let's imagine for a moment that while Havard charges $72k Covenant decides to increase its fees to $100k. Are you saying Covenant's standard will as a result shoot above Havard's and thus attract more high net worth students and individuals from all over the world like Havard? 2 Likes |

Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by SangoOlukosoOba(m): 8:13pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
EminiOba: Agreed, but the government also is overwhelmed. Do you know how many states and federal universities we have in Nigeria? It’s glaring that the government cannot fund universities. Expecting a miracle will only keep retrogressing those institutions |

SangoOlukosoOba:When? Give a timeline? The timing is wrong, and same with the initiative. What we need now is corporate funding for our universities with investiture and corporate grants like we have in US, UK and Canada. That is what is sustainable not jacking up school fees. What will happen next when the schools need more money? Jack up the fees further? You guys need to think out of the box instead of this zombefied capitalism which is clearly anti-people and steadily making Buhari look like a saint. 1 Like |

And the gnashing of teeth continues. Let's all enjoy our pains while it lasts. After Tinubu they will all still gather and vote in another disaster and continue the gnashing of teeth. We the dot people are not disappointed because we always knew that there was nothing for us in Nigeria. So we are always ready to face whatever they throw at us. But the people I pity are those who thought they were going to get free commodities at the market because their brother was able to enter through the back door. And now they are crying and gnashing their teeth more than those who were asked not to vote because they belonged to one particular tribe. May the pain of APC supporters favour me and my family 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2 Likes |
