Unlike you, I didn't stake it all on a corrupt politician, and I will never stand up to fight his battles for him!

You chose to mortgage your peace of mind on the success of corrupt leaders!

May they succeed! Amen!!!

Y'all are just pained you lost election and have no ideology. If not you can't be opposing thesame capitalist principles your candidate is known for and what he campaigned on.

Same ones paying million for oversees study? Did you see the data about the number of Nigerians that got student visa to UK ONLY?

If Nigerians can pay that much to study across the world, what makes you think they cannot afford high tuition in Nigeria! I am quite aware that it might be hard for some people, but with student loans, such can be achieved.

Our universities are in a sham, most living on old glory and have lost every standard. Like I said, if we want to raise the standard, students must pay their fair share

You're simply ignorant. Majority of those who pay huge fees to study in UK use it as migration format. They're not paying just for the sake of education but to move their families to better climes. They sell off houses, cars and other valuable properties to raise such funds. And when they get there, they work their socks off to continue to be able to afford the fees.

So your comparison is totally off point.

No one who has the means to study abroad will go to Nigerian universities in the first place. At least not the public ones

SangoOlukosoOba:


Yes!

What’s happening in the UK and Canada? Their health sector is almost getting stretched out and glaring it won’t survive next decade except they will have to hike taxes.

If you want to get the best, pay for it. The government will NEVER give you the utmost best.

Nigeria is not UK, neither is Nigeria Canada. Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.
The minimum wage here if converted to Canadian dollars, it's less than 60 Canadian dollars. The minimum wage is less than 50 US dollars. Yet you want us to pay through our nose like people do over there. Very soon, education will be for the rich alone in Nigeria, you want people earning less than 50 US dollars a month to pay over 600 dollars equivalent as school fees. Health care fees is also there.
Don't let your selfish desires overrule your sense of reasoning.

SangoOlukosoOba:


What mortgage you talking about! That I am saying the glaring truth?

Okay... Let me square with you since you have taken the polite route!

I have nothing against Subsidy removal! It is not economically viable or sustainable to keep subsidizing everything!

However, before you make citizens learn this hard lesson, what have you put in place??! What cutbacks from your own elite and wealthy end have you instituted??!

How many industries are operating fully and employing massively??!

How many jobs??!

What is even the state of the electricity supply??!

What steps are you taking to remove wasteful spending in running the nation and states??!


You compared America and UK schools and educational costs with Nigeria... Is that a fair comparison in any way?!!... Did those nations start off the way Tinubu is taking off??!

How long do you really think people can put up with this astronomical level of price hikes and ridiculously elevated basic costs of living??!


Questions... Questions... Questions...


A nation that has the highest number of poor people and out-of-school children in the universe shouldn't take such economically draconian steps... You simply lay the grounds for chaos and anarchy!!!

The proposed fees are still not as expensive as tuition in any of those countries you mentioned, so it’s still affordable.

The status quo cannot take us farther than where we are today. If you demand change in that sector, then people must pay for it.

I will repeat again, the government can NEVER fund education. The earlier you realize this, the better.

Don’t shy away from what you will still have to face. It happened with subsidy.

OneCandleAway:


The guy you quoted has brain issues. They don't know abroad local students pay far far less compared to international students. The govt makes a sector of the economy vibrant to subsidise local students education.

I'm not against the fuel subsidy going, but what has the government done till date with the so called subsidy money they removed in mitigating the effect of the subsidy removal on average Nigerians??
They will still remove the subsidy on every sector with nothing to show forth for it. Very soon, University education will become a luxury most average Nigerians won't be able to afford again. We were complaining that Northerners aren't educated en masse as required, so removing the subsidy on education will motivate them bah??
Even those in the southern part of the country too are not exempted, people will smell shege in this present regime.
I'm already a graduate, so if the government hikes the tuition fees it doesn't affect me directly, but what of the countless average citizens that this will have a negative effect upon??
So going to the hospital will also become an unaffordable luxury to people too, that's what the dude is advocating for. Some people needs brain resetting slap, ajé. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

China has the 2nd largest economy in the world, when she started her own reforms, it came with extreme pains. Now, they are producing almost everything the world is using.

Reforms must bring pain. We cannot continue in the old ways. If all the previous administrations had introduced these reforms, the current president will just build on them.

Nigeria economy has been badly managed, there cant be instant comfort. There will be pains before it get better.

Don't dodge the thrust of his questions, please!

What PRICE is the elite, wealthy and ruling class paying to achieve these??! Are the long-suffering citizens meant to bear every brunt for a better tomorrow??!

who told you an average Nigerian can afford 200-300k tuition fees? Have you forgotten Nigeria is the capital of poverty in the whole world? I know lots of family who barely feed. Do you expect these families to steal or deny them education?

OneCandleAway:


Let the govt stop corruption in govt sectors. He will be able to gradually fund education higher according to ASUU demands. Tell him to use proceeds from Zamfara gold because I haven't seen any effects of that gold.

The Northerners keep and share their resources among and within themselves, but the resources from the South is shared with them!

That has got to be addressed too!

You can't demand change solely on the back of a status quo!

When you read long stories from bloggers on Nairaland like this, just know you are reading lies from the pit of hell.

GeneralDae:

Even your Obi promised to do thesame thing. I can give you proof.

I support subsidy removal yeah and PO does to but what is the essence of removing subsidy and saving billions but not making FG tertiary education stable or cheaper .

Instead he approved an avenue to make money from this vulnerable students with interest bearing student loans then FG schools increased tuition . Are you guys thinking, connect dots please?

If Nigerian universities want to compete, they must be autonomous, and students must pay their fair share


Nigerians are the only class of people who want their country to overtake the US, UK and Canada, but not ready to pay their fair share like citizens of those countries.


Also, Nigerians demand instant change and never ready to make sacrifices for gradual change.

You try, why leave out countries like Germany, Norway, Finland where it's tuition free even for international students? Even the Canada, US you mentioned, are there no cushioning effects already in place?
In a sudden swoop citizens are expected and subjected to sacrifice with respect to fuel pump price, electricity, car ownership, education, professional body etc. These moves as well intended as they are the manner in which it's being carried out is like violently stripping a woman's clothes to sleep with her despite that she has consented to the affair. It leaves her feeling raped!

You want the government to give workers the meagre and unsustainable take-homes called salaries and still remove subsidies on education, health care and so on. You must be deputy Satan to even think like this.

If you do, is that a good legacy to leave behind?? What economic change/development/strategy has been put in place so far mitigate the effects of that??

Even the oil, the government can't say exactly how many barrels it produces for sale daily. The subsidy on oil, the figure is fake because people claim subsidy with false numbers.

Now you are asking the right questions. The Elite, wealthy and ruling class are already paying prices and this current administration must ensure they pay a lot more. Loopholes that are being blocked are affecting their revenues big time.

The executive arm of the current administration cannot set the wages of the legislatures. He does not have that authority according to the constitution.

This is the time the pressure groups suppose to mount immense pressure on the legislatures, the state governors, state house of assemblies, local govt chairmen and even the Judiciary.

No matter the mitigations you put in place, education can still NEVER be affordable for all. So the delay?

Even as of date, it is still not affordable for all.

ASUU can now rest.. when they were telling you all, you said ASUU should take it easy. In a couple of months, even retired parents (one of them) will require to travel out of Nigeria to make ends meet. We told you.

UK stopped subsiding their Universities but provide student loan to UK students. Yet, many Nigerians go there to pay millions of naira over rubbishy designed courses.

The Nigeria govt has provided loan for students to access to be paid back when they start working.

The reforms going on can bring with them attendant pains right now but at the end Nigeria will come out better.

Why are you Zombies using Nigerians studying in UK universities as leverage to think you're making sense.
Nigerians go to UK universities as a migration format!! Even the millions are obtained by selling off properties.
You're comparing apples with orange

Our country is not safe so can't attract a high number of international students. .

Please how is a single mother who sells in the market have access to that kind of guarantor?

No matter how you look at it, there must be checks and balances, otherwise the student loans being setup will be ruined.

We do not have credit rating tech here. As we evolve, things will be put in place.

Truthfully speaking, if anyone told you there would be a student loan setup in Nigeria in your lifetime, would you have believed?

Let us be cheerfully optimistic as Nigeria is going in a very different direction right now.
