Everything here is crap.

Knowing people that matters is the ultimate degree. BSC/HND follows after. Quality contacts

Hope you will write 9 reasons why a foreign diploma is better than a local nigerian university degree soon. Don't understand why these comparism all the time. X is better than Y mentality

okay you're making me feel bad, I choose a polytechnic as first choice.... base on my financial status... but I could still do a DE when the money comes. Your points are quit strong nevertheless, people would still go to a polytechnic.

You are completely misguided o. Poly cost pass anything.

Uinbadan first year you pay like 50 including accommodation o second year u pay less than 20k. Most fed universities like Unilag, oau, funaab, Abu, Buk, are relatively cheaper than the cheapest polytechnic

Op I want to tell u. Polytechnic student do much courses than the so called university student.. their knowledge is not limited to the course of study

Avoid discrimination in education for we are one Nigeria.HND BSc is One

Another gibberish spewing op.

I will completely agree with op until Jambites start filling Polytechnic as first choice.

Unfortunately, this OP is wrong, there are so many advantages in polytechnics. Poly students have more practicals than universities and also we spend less time in school and have more to focus on life in general. U just dey talk rubbish

After studying Chemical Engineering in a state polytechnic in Enugu, my eldest sister swore that nobody would ever attend a polytechnic in my family again because of what she SAW. And that was exactly what happened.

there are lots of DE students in my school that said it's like all did in polytechnics were child play when they see the quality of what is in the University, it's not to downgrade anybody but Nigerian polytechnics nowadays are not what it's used to be...going to polytechnic doesn't mean u r less smart cos I believe some students in Poly will do well if not more than some University students in the tower of knowledge

I still don't understand the morale of your smiley... Life is a privilege, everybody is not destined to attend a university, the same way everybody is not destined to be rich


Always try to appreciate the effort of people even though what they are doing does not interest you... I just hope you people start viewing life in a good dimension

less time in school?
Hope you are telling the truth. I have a friend, that complained to me that a single day he may have up to 10 hours lecture.

I am a polytechnic graduate. Distinction (first class). Kaduna Polytechnic.
This is my submission: OP is very very right. We have to be honest to ourselves. I served in a polytechnic(Ramat Polytechnic Maiduguri) as a graduate assistant. In my interaction with students, i was shocked to my marrows when I found that some of them could not read! Yes. You heard me right. How on earth did they get admitted I had to resort to something unusual. I would only mark your assignment scripts if you read what you have written, to me. It was crazy.

I have been fortunate to get very good jobs. Rose to branch management level in less than 4 years of a banking career that eventually lasted about 7 years during which I worked at three very solid Nigerian banks. I presently own my own firm where I employ both polytechnic and university graduates.

Truth is, I will never recommend polytechnic to even my worst enemy. Some graduates like myself and a few others that I know; can stand their ground against any university graduate from anywhere in the world. But I come across polytechnic graduates everyday and most of them make me ashamed to say I graduated from a similar institution. What is even more disheartening is the discrimination and frustration in the labour market. I graduated over a decade ago alongside 200 others. I'm not exegerating, I can hardly count 20 of us who got what can be said to be good jobs. It's mostly contract here, casual there. Who wants to waste 5-6 years of his life for that? It's so frustrating.

A good number of Nigerian polytechnics have been so degraded and reduced to glorified secondary schools. You see polytechnic students who claim to be upper credit candidates but who cannot compose a simple error-free text message. It's so sad.

I think it's best govt scraps the whole polytechnic thing. The frustration out there is just not it

Well.... It all starts with the government and the nigeria education policy. This restricts polytechnics from doing what would make their graduates equal to that of the universities......... Hate it or love it..... There is a cabal preventing nigerian polytechnics from stretching its wings of excellence!

Yeah you could be right, but from my findings, uniuyo pays 60-50, poly 40+ - 30+

And most cheap universities are in the north... I was born and bred there, don't want to go back north... I'm sure you know why. Kano precisely...

Please try to do DE if you can and i pray it will be successful.

You people will go at any lenth to ridicule polytechnic,but God dy sha.

My brother , if u like graduate from Harvard or Oxford is not my business, what is important is what u become after school. Try to be useful to urself ,Nigeria is a hard place. After graduating for many years with 2.1 without job ,my brother I was force to drop my Bsc and start hustling. Bsc or Hnd will never put food on ur table. Thanks to betting companies,I now own many betting shops where I employ many people. When I look back now I only but give God all d glory. So, open ur eyes and stop braging about university or poly very soon I go commot from ur eyes vam......

You are absolutely right my dear brother,there is no university that deals with practical as the polytechnic does......

All the points op raised are very valid. I graduated from a university and I now lecture in a polytechnic. I guess I am in a more convenient position to analyse this.

Some guys claim that HND holders are more practically inclined than BSc holders. that is why they claim they are better but if that is a yardstick for measuring capabilities, I could as well say graduates from technical colleges are as well better than HND holders because they are more practically inclined than the polytechnic graduates. CLASSIC FALLACY !!!

Why are HND graduates not given lecturing positions without a PGD in the polytechnics that produced them while BSc holders are absorbed immediately into the academic staff cadre of the same school?
Can we also call this discrimination?

Elijahrona2:
Poly is better when it comes to practicals.

Universities do the theory aspect more

While

Polytechnics do the practical aspect.

Am example is petroleum training institute (PTI) @Warri, Delta state. No good graduate there is jobless because everyone knows the school as superb

you won come compare pti with fupre..?
Federal university of petroleum resources
Both same in Delta state
