I don't care which one is better provided there is food on my table after all said and done. So many University Graduates are begging Poly Graduates for food while so many Poly Graduates are begging Universities Graduates for food too.

My conclusion is if Universities Graduate are better let all of them get something doing immediately after graduation since no firm is willing to hire those that are not okay as their workforce.

Enough of this Varsity and Poly e-ranting when there is serious hunger in the society. Some have the so-called Degree yet hunger is killing them.
What we should be talking about is how to better our educational system and work on our Naija value system. Some University Graduates are Scavenging in the States and UK with their Naija Uni Degree.

Nice comments from you guys..

Inaddition, remember that with the situation in this country,

Both HND and BSc are suffering right now..

No job, no salary, strike everywhere, no security, no money etc...

And still thousands graduating every month.

We need to think and find something meaningful doing instead of waiting for

Ghost job.

Above all, the best is to make it and be comfortable..

Let me teach you how to make extra 100k in a month.

Its actually not about which is better....the focus should be there products...we see today, university graduates who you would need to be sure they even attended sec.sch not to talk of uni....same is obtainable in the poly.....It has to do with the individual students themselves. Its personal development and God's grace that wins it....

Re: Six Things That Makes Nigeria Universities Better Than Polytechnics by jahsharon: 10:42am On Jul 16, 2016

I have ND and HND from two different polytechnics, I also have PGD and Masters from two different universities. Polytechnics and universities are different. But, if you bring out two students with the same I.Q. and send one to the polytechnic and the other to the university, then a HND holder would have acquired more knowledge in his field of study than the corresponding BSc holder in the same field because universities run different syllabuses from the polytechnics.

If you ask why employers request more for university graduates, I will ask you why some employers are discriminating against state universities. Recently, one unfortunate bank (banki oloriburuku) called Access Bank which main job is money laundering and authority stealing placed an advert requesting for only U.K. university graduates. These are students who could not pass JAMB here in Nigeria (not all of them though), their parents then sent them abroad, now the unfortunate Access Bank said these graduates are now better than Nigerian university graduates that endured unpaid lecturers' anger, candle light reading, dilapidated facilities and social unrest.

All the points stated are just mere written statement that has no judgemental effect on the subject of discussion, which is where most people are lacking a better understanding about the two (HND & BCs)certificates. I won't say much but will employ the OP to carryout a more better and concrete Research on the topic.

My sister, I saw it just don't want to talk. Am a student of yabatech and I had to become a student of unilag just because of this unnecessary discrimination but I can tell you that as concern yabatech and unilag, yabatech will always beat them hands down.

Reason not far fetch, running two courses simultaneously might look difficult to some people but I can tell you am doing well because of the training I have received in yabatech, and if you must know, you cannot miss lecture in yabatech (QS dept to be precise) and write exam but I can count number of times I have miss lecture in unilag just to satisfy my lectures in yabatech and I can tell you am doing better than my course mate in unilag.

Through out my undergrad days at the University, all my lecturers were master degree holders. All those profs are busy running personal businesses/chasing politicians delegating the Jnr lecturers to cover for them.
Na uni cert go give u chop for naija? Na who u sabi oooo. Have a friend wit only school cert earning over 100k in a multinational while we dey carry placard for streets with our University first class looking for job.

Dis are the factors that makes Universities rated than Polytechnics;

1. CURRICULUM: University education in Nigeria, like in other developing countries, is to produce graduates grounded in generic skill and, quality education for the nation's economic development. University curriculum therefore, reflect research about what works, as opposed to what is popular today or tomorrow. This
implies that the curriculum content enable students to attain the
society's expectations, and perhaps most importantly, their needs.

2. STRUCTURES: Most Nigerian Universities have outstanding structures and academic environment more than that of Polytechnic. Most of Polytechnics structures are not up to standard, even most of the buildings in some polytechnics are of old structures.

3. COURSES: Universities run more courses than Polytechnics. Most top professional courses are studied at university level e.g Medicine, Law, Architecture, etc. Though we have Legal studies in replacement of law, SLT in replacement of medicine in Polytechnics, and Architect. But are not well recognise.

4. MODE OF DRESSING: Corporate dressing can be seen in most Nigerian Universities, especially the so called private Universities. Also most of courses run by university has there code of dressing e.g Medicine, Engineering, and Law.

5. ACADEMIC PERFORMERS: Most outstanding students can be seen at Universities, compared to Polytechnics. Most of the Universities are more strict. You hardly bribe lecturers cause many are Professors so, is what u write that you get in most cases. Unlike polytechnics where you easy bribe lecturers to have distinction or upper credit.

6. ACADEMIC STAFFS: Least you can see in Universities as a lecturer is a Doctor (Ph .D). A masters holding can only be of an assistant. Most Seniors lecturers are Professors. While the highest you can get in a polytechnics is a Doctor ( Rector), others are MSc, B. sc or HND holder

I don't know about other polytechnics, but fedpolyAdo is better than most of the university in the country in all standard

hahaha. OP! you see, the one thing a man value so much is his ego.once u bring anytin that will make him look down on himself he reacts in self defence. believe me, every single individuals that protested against this post know deep down inside their heart that university is better down poly. but the problem is the egoistical nature of man!! even those who are drop out and secondarians that usually insult and battered graduate about been unemployed are also doing so cus of their ego or to console themselves. the fact is that statistically how many of them are really living better than the graduates they insult.? some of them are typing this trash from shops nt worth 50k bt yet they insults u who spend hundred of thousands in skul. if opening all this mini shops is one goal anybody who went through the university can do it. is jst that mindset of thinking big. so op. next time jst tell them that poly is better than university so that everybody can be happy and live with a lie.

sammyscholar:
It has always been my wish that I rebut most of the shallow submissions most of you guys make on this issue but I have come to realize that I have more important issues to focus on and the major of which is to proffer workable solutions to myriad of challenges facing our dear country. The day of reckoning is coming soon, anyway.

Save your energy bro. The dichotomy issue graduated recently from being an argument about academic superiority to mundane issues such as which of the two types of institutions have the sexiest babes. grin

These are the main reasons topics like this will always come up from time to time:

1. Inferiority complex: Majority of graduates on both sides suffer from this.

2. Unemployment: The competition for the few jobs available is fierce. Sidelining some will be an advantage.

3. Survival: Many are presently benefiting unjustifiably from the dichotomy. Ending the dichotomy and leveling the playing field will translate to job loss and demotion for many.

4. Primordial Sentiments against Technical Education: Technical education is perceived, since earliest times and till today, as education designed only for the poor and less privileged in the society. Germany and China are the two powerful countries that are seriously against this sentiment. Today, Germany leads in Europe and China leads the world.
