I knew this question was coming..
There was a time in Nigerian Uni, they were given free food, 2 people per room after graduation ready job plus official car
There was a time Nigeria was visa free to many countries in the world
I also did not enjoy all these since every generation deal with the challenges of their times
People adjust to realities of their times. This is the current reality
There are things your ancestors enjoyed that you wont and there are things you enjoyed that your children wont. And vice versa too

BlueRayDick:


But on a serious note, I think u are saying all of this from a privileged position. If this kinda astronomical increment in school fees, general rise in price of commodities, reduction in ur sponsors' disposable income , over 300% increase in fuel price ,etc had al happened while u were in OAU ; I doubt u would've graduated as a Chemical Engineer.

Raumdeuter don talk say after u finish primary 6 nothing concern government wetin u ur life do. If u like turn to almajiri, bandit, agbero, or bakassi boys; na u know.

That is a possibility. Like I said above, every generation deals with their own problem

My fathers generation lived when 2 people lived in a hostel room, I had to share room with 12 other guys,
They had their clothes laundered for them, I had to wash mine by myself
They got a ready made job after graduation with official car, I had to battle and struggle with thousands to write aptitude tests
Some of them traveled to America, UK Germany visa free, I had to hustle for mine

I can as well sit here and be telling them that until they make things visa free for me 20yrs ago,,,,

Every generation deals with its own challenges, The challenges when we had less than 3,000 Uni students all over Nigeria is different from when we have 300k and possibly 3m now

We adjust with every reality

Expect a dumb reaction to this New Fees

That's why I say u are speaking from a privileged position. People who speak from privileged position usually sit to analyze and justify why those coming after them would not and should not access some of the privileges they enjoyed.

Nigeria spends so much on things than are less important than to be saying they want to yank subsidy off education just like that.

raumdeuter:


Privilege? What privilege is that when I shared a room meant for 2 people with 13 other people?
What privilege was that when thinking bad at toilets I had to use can still induce vomit 20yrs later?
What privilege is that when I had to write job aptitude tests with thousands of people for 20 positions?

Where is my own privilege of having to travel without a visa or get a car after graduation?

Tertiary education is not a right, you dont need tertiary education to survive. Even in US I am against using tax payer money to pay for tertiary education

There are many guys who are traders, mechanics, Artisans. Neither you nor I are better than them so why should govt be spending to give we the privileged subsidized education and not them?

Primary and secondary education should be non-negotiable. Personally, i think government should ensure vocational trades (auto mechanic, fashion designers, electricians etc) are formalized and recognized with certificates to incentivize people to take them up. Our current system of over-emphasizing universities is doing more harm than good.

Any policy that puts decent primary and secondary education out of the reach of the poor is a stupid and deleterious policy. Even hyper-capitalist societies like the United States will not dare toe that path.

BlueRayDick:




U still wan turn amala for this one?

The privilege is the education u got almost for free; that's why u can be a capitalist today.

Okay see now u said the basic education one should have is primary education, but we all know what lack of education has done to the north making young boys join bandits and young girls being married off at a very young age. What do u think will happen when the government takes this ur own stand of saying after primary school u decide ur fate ? Do u know how many bright minds that will get entrapped in the banditry business going on in the NorthWest?

How can this even be up for debate?
How?

GloriousGbola:


I have my reservations about the quality of that education though . Particularly when I see the takes of some of my classmates in our alumni whatsapp groups.

BlueRayDick:


Education doesn’t stop people from being fanatics, dogmatic ,religious zealots ,garrulous , ,uncultured biased or any other unpleasant traits u see ur classmates display

larride:


Do you know how much Unity schools students were paying before?

I think that's the first place to start from.

raumdeuter:


But this is not enough for Blueraydick and friends, they want even tertiary education for free

Blueray tell me how is this position different from mine?

Oddly specific

I feel attacked

raumdeuter:


Tuition in Unity school is still free even with the new release

Unless you want govt to pay for uniform and boarding fees too

raumdeuter:


UBE in Nigeria covers Primary and beyond. Which is what you need for literacy

That bill is even for JSS1 1st term.

I don't understand the panic i have been seeing online

Excluding PTA, 30k to 40k

This is what I typed by urself na (See attached screenshot )

See where this discussion started was that the government has been subsidizing tertiary education before now and i don’t believe they should just yank it off without providing an alternative like interest free loan if the subsidy must go.

The government is yet to put anything like that in place aside from just reading it out to us in paper, yet government schools are already hiking fees . The education bank they proposed has not been established as we speak , how students can access the loan has not been critically discussed , the terms of the loan nobody knows about it . Why talking off the subsidy on tertiary education in a rush?

liveLongNprospa:


Please tell us my brother. How much was it before? As
