Ugosample: Particularly from postgraduate students from other schools...this is an opportunity to give a firsthand evaluation of the academic prowess of our postgraduate institutions and help the uninformed make better decisions. |

Nigeria is making me rethink the reason for having a degree...If one can study on his own, get amazing amounts of knowledge, one can with that knowledge turn his fortunes around instead of adhering to the institutionalized pattern of wasting time getting certificates and degrees that leave you dependent on getting a job! 6 Likes |

efficiencie:your post is highly disturbing but reflective of postgraduate education in all universities in Nigeria,you can't in good faith, expect a quality education in economics from any Nigerian schools, they lack the mathematical and computer/programming skills to do so.I'm also disturbed by the emerging pattern of sleeping with married women including visibly pregnant ones. i would advise you to apply for your PhD abroad especially Europe, Canada and USA since their PhD programs are free and you even earn money from them, this is especially true for the Scandinavian countries since i have done much research about higher education in Sweden. good luck. 2 Likes 1 Share |

efficiencie:my candid opinion and advise. If you keep moving from university to university you will be a rolling stone that gathers no moist.you will keep going from university to univerity without achieving anything worthwhile.moreso you will keep seeing their inadequacies and deficiencies because no university is an utopian univerity so stay put in any university of your choice. Take their courses even if it's repeated then empower/develop yourself privately. That way it's a win-win situation.earn their masters degree whilst developing yourself by reading outside and beyond whatever they teach. No university or lecturer is perfect 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Venom104:even doing a postgraduate degree in a private university in Nigeria is not without it's issues. Every university in Nigeria has its own peculiar issues.I don't know of universities abroad but I know for sure no institution whether academic institution financial corporate or government institution is perfect because the human beings behind it are not perfect |
Re: Share Your Experiences As A Postgraduate Student In A Federal University! by dangotesmummy: 7:23am On Jan 08, 2017 |
scobaba:then get their certificate and attend other academic seminars and confrences. It's a pity that education in Nigeria has degenerated to regurgitating and pouring out old information. Gabbage in and gabbage out |

greenermodels:sleeping with women whether married or unmarried for grades favours etc is not a new thing neither does it happen in universities alone. It happens in all sectors of the society I am not supporting the act though but people pay unnecessary attention on universities when it comes to issues like this.females sleep with movie directors for roles.bosses sleep with their female surbodinate for promotions doctors sleep with nurses as a blackmailing tool to cover their errors or inadeqauacies 1 Like 1 Share |

efficiencie:You are on your own if you dare try it. Bros abeg avoid that oo. UNN is even better in terms of PG studies even at that they still have their own wickness, but for now, my advice is avoid those Universities. UI is still better, i graduated from UNN though |

mrphysics:university of ibadan is living on past glory /reputation. They're not different from oau when it comes to unnecessary bureaucratic delays.oau like ibadan can give you 1001 reasons why you will not graduate OR why you don't deserve to graduate even after fulfilling all their requirements They believe spending 8years for an MSc degree is a thing of pride and worth boasting about 5 Likes 1 Share |

To be sincere, University of Portharcourt is worse than in terms of how very expensive offering a postgraduate program is there, you will pay 163,000 naira for first session, second session 110,000 naira for second session, then if u are lucky enough to graduate within this stipulated two years, of which most people spend more time than that, you now go ahead and pay a defense fee of 51,000 naira, plus many other dues such as plagiarism test fee, internal defense fee, and so on, not to mention of the recent increment in clearing yourself to collect your result to about 50k plus....its not as if they offer d best services 6 Likes |

My dear I think UNN is a bit better. Just finished my MSc in Economics there nd applied for a PhD. There are reasonably sound lecturers who are up to date. The econometrics teacher is d best I ve seen. Nobody have asked me for one naira for anything. Though, there are still few not too good ones there, yet, d experience is worthwhile. 4 Likes |

kelvin21887:really? 51k for defense fee? So what is the school fees FOR when you will pay for plagiarism test fee? When there are software's that you can sit in your room and download on your laptop that is what they're extorting money for? Nigerians! !!!!!! And we want corruption to end?smh 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I think some departments are trying. For example, I never liked University of Ilorin, I had to go there for a reason. I enjoyed my 1year M.Sc.I enjoyed access to internet. When I had issues with my thesis that I needed to go for field research, even the HOD made contact for me. My own opinion is I think Nigerian University are seriously underfunded, some of the professors go for international colloquial and conferences but lack finance to implement good things they saw outside. I think mathematics department of University of Ilorin are trying when it comes to Msc 3 Likes |

MrHighSea:some professors are actually high handed arrogant and think they know everything while those around them are foolish. They have a way of teaching in a condescending way.They don't teach for students to understand learn and apply. It's an ego thing for them and an opportunity to show off Their ancient knowledge whilst bringing others down. Their supervisees are their major victims .if they don't know instead of enlightening them they bring them down and always want them to be subservient to them E.g carrying their bags cleaning their office and other b.s. A family friend told me of his supervisor when he was doing his masters in xyz university to buy him amala and goat meat before he reads his chapter 2.he even gave him cooler and money. He put the cooler inside nylon and was telling a grown 40something year old man to buy amala for him I bust into laughter when he was jisting me so I asked him what then did you do.he said he walked out OF his office and abandoned the masters to resume back to work from his study leave 2 Likes 1 Share |

I finished in just one year. If u are good, no lecturer will delay u apart from just one or two supetvisors who normally delays their supervisees. Though the standard to pass exams and do ur project is quit high, but, in UNN Economics, ur success depends on u nd God. quote author=odiagabros post=52628236] Pls how did it take you to complete your msc dere?
