I think it should be as it is because one aspect in agriculture might not b profitable in terms of business but if u have many knowledge of different aspect of agric, u can easily venture into another profitable aspect. 5 Likes |

Ideally, I don't think it should because it's a professional course i.e, you get B.Agric degree and not B.Sc. But due to the fact that Agriculture is not given preference in this part of the world, it doesn't worth it. 1 Like |

@ Op check ur English pls... but to ur questions, i think the idea of first degree program is to give you a "general feel", after which you can go for ur masters and specialise in a field of ur choice. but for me i believe this is not helping us.Fields like agriculture thats more of practicals should be vocational in nature. this means you can go straight up to where ur interest lies, like fishery,crop,poultry etc coupled with entreprenueral education. This will expose the student to alot of practicals, and at the end he can be selfemployed and an employer of labour. 7 Likes |

This is a good topic to debate. personally, I've always thought any course in Agric should not be more than 3 years of theory and one year of practical training. 1 Like |

op, do you think coconut tree is worth waiting, for more than 5 years to be ready for harvest. agriculture has taken a technological phase. this is not planting and harvesting era and Nigerian farmers need to advance in horticulture . other countries are busy producing seedless foods and advancing their ways of preservation, you are talking thrash. the last I checked , a Nigerian farmer is yet to know how possible you can grow an Orange , water Mellon, grape , etc seedless . to me, the time ain't to long, our area of concern should be the study guide instead. 1 Like |

Nigerian students waste a lot of time studying the same thing for years. most courses in our unis deserve to be 3 yrs . agriculture and other five year courses deserve to b four as what u learn from ur 3rd year is very similar to ur 4th and fifth year. 1 Like |

U ar absolutely correct with ur sugesstion.happy sunday For real? a lot is wrong my friend. I never wanted to comment about your English not until I saw the above. I know we all make mistakes but to claim what you've written is ridiculous. neyur: There are too many errors in your post which I do not even have time to analyze. Go through the ones I've stricken out and find out the correct words yourself. You have spent five years in a university and you still don't see anything wrong grammatically and spelling wise in your post! And please learn to write not in"shorthand" because it does not help your writing skills. I hope you take my contribution in good faith. 7 Likes |
