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.

Am not disputing dat fact...just pondering on d workload while studying d course...is dam much

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.

Dat exactly what am saying...if it is given more concern then i wouldnt mind even if it is 8yrs programme....

@ 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.

@oscar,nothing is wrong with ma english,i just had an incomplete sentence in ma last paragraph.fank 4 ur concern though. U ar absolutely correct with ur sugesstion.happy sunday

5 years just to learn how to plant corn and feed fowl.

Hmm

dem say person use five years read agric this one still dey talk about english. You nor get luck say im nor use im local dialect write am.

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.

If you factor in ASUU strike, five years is too long.

.

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.

At the bolded if that is how they teach in faculty of Agricultural Science, that means you need an extra year making it Six years to add many courses in your General studies Unit and English department.

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.

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.

Was this piece written by an undergraduate? How did you pass English? Even your title 'Did you think....' Ought to have started with 'Do you think.....' Please learn to write out your words in full. You style of writing is affecting your English.

Good Bless you OP.

It's even funnier for him to have said nothing was wrong with his English when his attention was called.

Our education system has really gone very bad. Perhaps out control already.

OP Change the topic to "Do You Think" not the "Did You Think".

As to the topic, I think the '5 years' is appropriate.

Personally i hate short hand, most of my friends i do chat with call me "Mr write it all". I do encourage them to do thesame, if you are writing with shorthand you won't be concious of your spellings error.

With this kind of English you wrote I think the duration for a degree in English should be extended to 6 years.

To you nothing is wrong with it but to me something is wrong with it bro.

It is not because of wrong spellings but incoherent writeup.

You suppose to organise it in a way that it will be easier to cogitate. You are a graduate for crying out loud.

The same question I asked myself when I learnt its a 5years course.

Agric should be 5years but 2yrs training, 1yr retraining and 2years practicals after which the government subsidizes cash for every student and gives them lands to farm on. A utopian Nigeria I dream of

Yes this are little errors we do make in our daily life of writing, if we did not proof read what we write.
