Ephemmm:


Thrash.... I stand to be corrected! Aba-made 4 or 5 credits in WAEC is not a yardstick for determining how brilliant a student is in considering the availability of numerous 'miracle centre' in modern Nigeria.

For your information, my uncle studies linguistic in University without having Credit in English.

In the same vein, my immediate younger brother seeked admission into one of Nigerian polytechnics without success: he didn't meet the cut off, but to God be the glory, he applied for linguistic at OAU, and he write his final paper few months ago.

I have two to three friends who are graduates of University of Ibadan today without writing JAMB from the onset: the requirement at their satellite campus as at then was five credits in NECO; just paid their fees and you are good to go. Through this, the dullest among the dullards in my class while in secondary school is now a mathematician.

I have a friend then who opted for Administrative course in polytechnic due to his inability to have strong financial backing even after he has been admitted to study law in University.

So, be assured that everybody is in different shoes and sizes: don't judge people based on their school or courses because you don't know how they got there.

Speaking from experience, no matter what may be the course you study in Nigerian Universities, there are polytechnic students out there that may perform/are better than you in all ramifications. That is why employer of labour who knows his worth put every candidates into test irrespective of the school one attends.

Last month was the first time I heard about a Muslim University in Ede, Osun state. Going by all these regular rating, I don't think it will be among the best 500 if public opinion is seeked. Guess what! A graduate of Economy outshines every other candidates invited for test in my company including the ones from OAU, UI, UNILAG, COVENANT etc which everybody believes are topmost Nigeria Universities.

Get your fact right.

uthfaith:
I won't. All I will just say u pay money on unnecessary things in polytechnics

Millions are graduating from universities with Bsc certificates making the labour market very competitive, you go cum go stand with your ND/HND certificate, lol even faith no go help you...

Somewhere in your subconscious you were able to convince yourself that Wole Soyinka isn't recognised internationally @ moving the world. It's okay to defend your polytechnic, but don't drag Wole Soyinka into such facile and preposterous comparison.

For me, I think this argument over HND and BSC na for suffer head... when you're made your qualifications doesn't count.... take for instance; have Чōϋ' heard any gist on D̶̲̥̅̊ educational background of Otedola, Aliko Dangote, e.t.c

We should invest on our local dialect not the borrowed language you called English.

Last time I checked forbes only recognised dangote not wole sonyika.

The other day, dangote opened the biggest cement factory in Ethiopia, if you ask me, dangota has done more good and well recognised globally for his humantaria works.

Let me ask you this question can wole stand in the same room with bill gate. And how many people has wole help?

Are you seriously kidding me? Invest in our local dialect? Going with your line of thought, "Who local dialect don Epp?"

Your basis for comparison is quite hilarious. Forbes creates various lists for different purposes. Your assertion though largely false because Wole Soyinka was 2nd to Chinua Achebe at some point on the "Top Most Powerful African Celebrities" and perhaps he is probably number one now considering Chinua Achebe is late.

It's like comparing Henry Ford with Albert Einstein. Did Albert Einstein create Jobs or build factories? Yet Henry Ford did and thousands were employed. Today both men are still remembered for their distinct contributions to the world.

Life is about impact and to be honest with you not all rich men would be remembered and a perfect example would be William Shakespeare whose books are still being read, whose life story is still being told on the BBC yearly. Yet who remembers the richest men in his day's?

And what exactly would stop Wole Soyinka from standing in the same room with Bill gates? Don't be ridiculous.

you don't know nothing! And am gonna tell you something.

The average Americans don't know about wole soyinka but they definitely know of dangote.

Please dangote is more popular and famous in Nigeria and all over the world.

Ask your little cousin about this two personality, he/she must have never heard of wole. ...definitely your cousin have heard of dangote.

Dangote name will ever be remembered for his entrepreneurship ...his biography and impact is well documented in our history book, take entrepreneur 211 for example which is a compulsory course for all university undergraduate.

The only thing I know wole sonyika for it is his grey afro and nothing

You are just a stubborn gal that has refused to learn. .

Oya sidon lemme school you one last time

Now you have switched to popularity contest? Funny thing is you type as though you have a survey backing up your points.

There are loads of people who aren't as rich as Aliko Dangote that are far more popular than he is. Popularity and being famous doesn't equal IMPACT.

Even Anini was popular at some point and history books still reminds us of him.

My point is IMPACT and i would reiterate the same point i made earlier. Both men are fulfilling different purposes and would be remembered for their contribution to humanity. There is no basis in comparing both of them. It's like Comparing Warren Buffet with Ben Carson.

If you still don't get it then you would have to wait till rapture so that Jesus can explain to you better.

@Bold you nor well oo

Whether you give 1000 reasons why university is rated above polytechnic, it's never an excuse for not attaining heights in life..

Hardwork and your mindset is the bedrock of success and not HND or Bsc... In fact, hunger will be your surname if you think Bsc is an automatic passport to getting rich... I have never regretted attending a polytechnic because I've got goals, dreams and visions in life.. When you don't have a map for your life people who aren't even worth talking to you will start giving you advice on how to live your life, hence, you start getting worked up over irrelevant topics like this.



Nothing is as important as making money in life.. Let me tell you something, a rich illiterate is more valuable than a broke PhD holder.. That's why a personality like Dangote, ranted amongst the richest men in the world is even much more valuable than Prof Wole Soyinka anytime any day. Forget Laureth nobel oooo, na English dictionary words people wan chop? The moment you get to see Dangote something intrudes your mind... I guess you should know that thing


We are in a country where the future of the youths lies in the hands of the ministers...

Person wey buy clothes from boutique go discriminate against person wey wear okrika;

Person we go OAU go claim superiority over person wey go OOU;

Person wey dey use Toyota Camry go claim superiority over person wey dey use Peaujout 504;

Person wey dey use Bold5 go discriminate person wey dey go Asha 501 ...


Person wey be nairaland supermod go dey claim superiority over ordinary members

Whaaaaat a country !!!!

LuckyLadolce:
On point. But let me correct vanguard as regard
CGPA 5.0 against 4.0. This is how it works... In some polytechnics like the one i graduated from, to get an A you need 75% over 100, while in uni, with 70 you have your A. This factor shld be considered if you have to compare CGPA between polytechnics and universities. I stand to be corrected.

Bro, I'm an HND holder, I've got a job many university graduates are craving for.. What about that? You can't force one thing in life and that's SUCCESS!


High places like where.. Mention those high places and i will mention to you more than enough poly grads who are there with their university counterparts. Great aspiration indeed. When you talk abt aspiration, it has to do with individual and so, it's not something you can attribute to university education. They're two different things. Infact, university graduates in our Society tends to relax alot because they feel they have an edge over polytechnic grads In the labour market thereby posing great challenges in the lives of poly grads. And this has over time made polytechnic grads more innovative and ensure they navigate through the hurdles in order to make life better for themselves and people around them.

For your information, i didn't struggle for any university admission even though oou gave me. I didn't even bother to go because my upbringing about life is quite different. My father said to me long ago that.. Son, whatever you find yourself doing, do it right and well.

Goodnite.













Guy am Nt condemning any of them......

Bt no father or mother will Hv the resources and tell their child to opt for poly rather than Uni.....


Yes poly is not bad,Uni is not bad.....Bt we are in Nigeria Uni is rated far higher....

Infact wen u hear graduate Wat comes in ppls mind is he or she finished university...

I went to a typical village to my greatest surprise nobdy knw want poly is.....they all believe as a coppa u Mst Hv finished uni... ..


During my ss3, There was a list circulating among us to right school of our choice.....to my greatest shock no one wrote poly.......doe some of dem,got admission into poly....


2 Mst ppl poly is their last hope......


Bt all this does not mean.....the end product matters......


Sorry if u Dnt undastnd mi,as I Dnt bliv in long write up.... and I Dnt obey punctuation on social media......

uthfaith:
majority of polytechnics lecturers are fucking bullshit. imaging lecturer collecting #50 from each student b4 they could write a test. FUCKING BULLSHIT. I won't mention names

Bro, I stand on my point... No matter how much we argue, the fact is that people need money more than new dictionary words... Like I said earlier, a billionaire who is an illiterate will definitely make waves more than anyone else


Abeg just try make small money and watch how your family members whom never knew from Adam will start seeing you as a god

tosyne2much:
Madam calm down... I'm a supporter of freedom of expression and I'm of the belief that we are wired to think differently, therefore, it's not a necessity that you nod your head in affirmation to my assertion or opinion.

*That being said*

I never said Wole Soyinka is not respected internationally but it's paramount to know that personality like Dangote, one of the richest men in the world, will definitely receive more respecr (na money we dey talk here ooooo, forget Laureth nobel or whatever).. What I'm trying to say is that, "money unarguably rules the world more than anything else" which you and I know


Bill Gates as well as Dangote is undoubtedly ranked the top richest men in the world and you will hear their names hundred of times (on social media) before you hear that of Prof Wole Soyinka


In a nutshell, money rules the world we are in

Mixty:
Guy, accept your mistake and move on. Your initial write-up was good but you messed it up comparing two highly revered public figures.
You said money is all that matters. Are you saying all rich people in Naija are more respected than Wole Soyinka? It is better to keep shut when you make mistakes than trying to justify yourself.

iAmCharis:
@bolded bhuaahahahahahahaa true But that doesn't mean he's not influential in the international world in his own capacity.

By the way, I've never seen a billionaire who is an illiterate neither have I heard of any.

Of course he's also very influential in his own capacity.. Chris, it's like you don't know the respect people have for money... Though people only misinterpreted my comment due to their inability to reason properly

Now lemme ask you a question, which would you prefer to be life, to be ranked amongst the richest men in the world or a Laureth nobel?


Virtually every American would like to be as rich as Bill Gates while virtually every Nigerian would like to be as rich as Aliko Dangote. Even though being a Laureth Nobel also has its own preference in the world, what's the ration of people that would choose being a Nobel over being the richest man in the world.. My brother, I believe this illustration should have given you an insight of how valuable these men are

Which ever you choose, kindly tell me why

professorMD1:


lets not decieve ourselves, it is true that the school u attend, either poli or uni doesn't have anything to do with ur getting a job or success in life. however, it is also wise to note that politechnic educaction has some limitations such as promotion, prospect, furthering education and discrimination!
the general truth about it is how equipped is the student? for example, as a manager of software engineering firm. I will b so stupid to employ bsc that cannot program any software when hnd is available that can do it. it centres on the capability of the candidate. even though what I just said is true, my first paragraph can never b overlooked
God bless Nigeria, God bless FUTMinna. God bless Librarianship and ICT
