that is the uk minimum wage. now tell me how much of that a child who is working for money to buy things for himself/herself can channel towards paying for university education

do you actually think children will consciously and on their own steam save their own college fund?

I didn't say a child will work to pay school fees.

guobe:

Then the minimum wage of their parents should be raised to a million naira too.

It doesn’t work like that. You don’t say pay me the money for a well educated graduate and then I will go and get re-educated like a well educated graduate. You don’t say pay me salary upfront then I will work. You don’t say marry me 1st then I will show you I am worth marrying.

The way to solve the problem is to raise the fees of local universities to a level where they can compete with foreign universities abroad like it was in the 1960s-80s. The good thing is it won’t be anywhere as much as foreign fees. If the amount for a truly competitive university system is N4m then double it. Those who are paying N20-40m+ abroad would gladly send their kids to universities here. The only reason they send their kids abroad is because they know the quality here is very very low.

Why did I say double it? That way 1 fee paying student can subsidize the fees for a poor student and it will still be less than going abroad. That solves the problem of affordability for poor students and raises the quality of the degrees. It also ensures that both rich and poor can obtain good degrees that are worth more in the market than N45,000 salary.

guobe:

HELL is not literary as it is metaphorical.

Yeah but your statement is negative. Just wanted to point out that despite all the shit going on in Nigeria over 200M people call it home. And If everyone wanted to japa, which country will accept them all. We just need good leaders.

guobe:

100,000 naira nowadays don't even last me a week.
Inflation is just so high.

Omo this life no balance...🥲

That an amount for a session in a well ranked uni in the UK. Like oxford, UCL and others at top.

guobe:

The system works there unlike what we have over here .

the system works when they want to take money from you... Come and get work that you think your education deserve and watch how the system treats you.

Justiceganduje:
Then it is worth it.

gbam!!

It was 2.5M Naira in my time 12 years ago. The school was affordable compared to top universities. The topic is incomplete. Where is his picture and the graduation event? A moderator created the topic out of his backside or stole a random write-up off X (I don’t care for the old name).

guobe:

I didn't say a child will work to pay school fees.

At 16 most People in UK are already working. Kist people worked to pay their schooling fees.
I don't think there is job lacking.

this is what you said

people at age 16 are still children.
the money they are earning is minimum wage
a person earning a minimum wage cannot 'work to pay their school fees'

the reason why people can do that in nigeria is because education is heavily subsidized

Is the 40 million for first degree, master or PhD?

Justiceganduje:
What did he achieve at last? That should be the question.

If she is babe , then she would be in Lekki doing hook up.

Lots of London babes doing hook up there

Yes I know but you can still make something from the system in a lesser job on the long run.

Ten06:

Masters.

I am trying to write out the 15 things rich people say... I will include this

I said there is job available for all ages including 16 years old.
As a student you can school and work too.

It's not that bad.

Make una no dey use the extreme to define things.

Most of the people I know that graduated and currently working aren't earning anything below ₦100k.

Some are as high as ₦400k-₦900k

You are very crude Mr man. That those people get job through connection does not mean others are benefiting from the same gesture. If government can provide jobs with good incentives, nobody will complain of high school fee. In uk, a security officer can earn over 4 million naira in a month when compared to naira to pound but in Nigeria here u can do the calculations of how much a security officer earn. Let's try to reason before bringing out idea

It's a good investment tho expensive but the benefits/ROI are enormous.

guobe:

Escape route from the Nigerian hell.

What are the likely benefits?
Opportunity to do care job and other labour intensive jobs(which he probably wasnt used to), organized system, better security

Demerits
Cultural clash, missing of food, family & friends back at home, subtle racism, economic ceiling, perpetual hardwork, weather, inability to discipline children, bad influence on children, less time for religious activities, social life reduction

Then u ask ursef-- are all the demerits worth it compared to the benefits and heavy money spent?

You may not be able to save all of that in one year of working in the UK, but your first year salary is usually more than that for most type of jobs


But conversely, I’ll advise anyone with that much money on ground to try investing in agriculture in Nigeria with safety in mind

Even 80% of British citizens don't have a £20,000 savings, and you said people are suffering in Nigeria.

You can live an abroad life while in nigeria by earning in foreign currencies, pound and dollars to be precise, get a good apartment, install solar and live....a good tech skill can do, i'm a data analyst and a freelancer on upwork and i'm willing to share a material to aid anyone interested in transitioning to tech via data analytics using excel,powerbi,sql and powerpoint for presentation.

Yes, The Government plays a part too.

People are paying millions in private universities and I can beat my chest and tell you that the graduates being rolled out by the private universities can't compete with those from federal universities.
Most Nigerian universities need to upgrade first-to be standard and inline with the present realities of the new world and not those their old paper based lecturing they are dishing out to their students.

RealityKings:
If you can afford it and you have the right support, it's worth every single dime. It will not only change your education it will also help you build relevant connections and change your perspective about life.

You won't also be hearing news of one lecturer slapping a student or giving a student doggy in his office. You sef reason am

Very Apt!👌

Private universities are not equal but there is a reason why covenant university has overtaken all Nigerian universities perhaps with exception of UI.

When last did you see company's advertising for vacancies.
High paying jobs in Nigeria are meant for the heavily connected.
Even people with first-class in Nigeria struggle to get jobs.

Actually, there are many job vacancies, if you know where to look for them.

For example, check out this thread;

These are Basic Facilities that ALL Our So called Past and some Present Leaders - just Refused to do for Nigerians- as they Care Less about the Future - about the Youths.
Shame to the Leaders that were accumulating Dollars($) - for themselves,instead of building Nigeria, to become Great!
Very Unpatriotic Elements.

It’s a deliberate act because they also travel to enjoy all dis things.. but to build it Nigeria becomes rocket science

lightwind:


I see the reason UK people are extremely stingy. I have one 58 year old England woman i have been chatting with for almost 2 years now. She calls me her baby boy etc always wanting me with her online 24/7 but when i ask for money to solve a problem she becomes stingy with it. Telling me she has only £9 in her bank account.

You see it's ridiculous. I always get angry with her most times.

Lol. Av met a few here.
Because if all the capital they used and the fact that they don't like giving the poor beggars money( they feel they are a nuisance) they bring the same attitude here.

I think it's worth it, if you can get certificate of sponsorship after graduation and settle. You'll recoup that money in a Twinkle of an eye
