Dranoid:35. Jamb was excellent too. Made English and Maths in WAEC but didn't make Chemistry. Waiting for NECO. Already changed my course tho. But why do I even need chemistry for computer engineering? I've changed it tho. 3 Likes |

Sadly, backwardness of the contemporary Nigerian graduate is captured in many of the posts here. A most disappointing debacle. That some people actually have the temerity to suggest that these excellent students would do lesser in the seedy,demotivated and puerile environments that our public universities have become is really sad. With the benefit of having been on graduate recruitment panels I make bold to state here and unequivocally so that the graduates of Covenant University are indeed what they are; Eagles and can only soar higher. I have had the singular privilege of employing an Industrial Chemistry graduate of this institution who spent just one year with our client before leaving for further studies in Sweden and I can testify till today that the man is still nostalgic about the experience......and she only had a 2.2. I may also add that some years back, we had a brief from one the major banks in this country to recruit entry level graduates. Apart from the official correspondence from the HR department I still have a private email sent to me by the MD of that bank requesting that we should employ ALL the applicants from Covenant and Babcock Universities irrespective of their disciplines and grade of pass. Truth be said, some of the private universities have brought about a paradigm shift. As it stands now, evidences abound that the standard bearers in tertiary education are going to be the private universities. It shouldn't come as a surprise though as private capital and resources has already redefined the standards in secondary education. By the way, is there any Nairalander here who has his children in a public primary or post primary school[i] by choice?[/i] 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Having first class is not hard to achieve when you study in a conducive learning environment. Nigerian public universities have turned first class to god like status. Whereas, universities in India are awarding first class to lots of their student that can't even compete with a 2.1 grad from a Nigerian public university. Over the years this has affected Nigerians from competing globally. Top PG colleges in Universities abroad don't care whether your first class was obtained in OOU or UI or Covenant. Once you meet the set GPA for their admission, you get in. I am always happy when I see CU students in large numbers being offered admissions to top universities abroad for PG usually with funding. This was only being achieved previously by students from India. 2 Likes |

HigherEd:Kudos! You couldn't have said it better. As a graduate and Faculty from the Nigerian system, I totally agree with you. The US system is such that there are four semesters (two full, two halves) and nobody records a 'C' in a student's result in collating the final cummulative performance. Nigeria's system will even record a fail, not knowing that a student's academic history is not as important as the current form. The best hands don't make it into our Ivory Towers, as lecturers, and cummulative pile of such people ensures there are no improvements. We are still implementing archaic policies that the world have long moved away from. 1 Like |

LordIsaac: And that is why ur unijos is nothing more than a glorified secondary school who has continually retrogressed. Can you point to any leading worldwide research or breakthrough conducted by your "difficult unijos"? You're here comparing a stagnant entity with an institution who have Nobel laureates as lecturers Even the government recently admitted that the future of tertiary education in Nigeria lies with private schools. If care is not taken, very soon sending your child to a public university would be like sending him to an LEA school. BTW, just so you know, I am a product of a Top Federal University 2 Likes |

Youngjohnosas: Something can be done and already some public universities are changing although slowly e.g UI. The success of CU and the fact that the top people in the society now overlook them and send their wards to CU are making them see that there's no benefit holding back what someone merits or making the environment unconducive. It only put their graduates at a disadvantage when compared to the outside world. The world is now a global village. 1 Like |

jedisco:Forget it...just like Nigerians do better outside Nigeria, anybody can do better in your private school. I am only of the opinion that, you can never compare yourself with someone who goes through the rigours of school in a public University and still excels, albeit with a 2:1. Dare me and take up a session over here, I'm sure you'd end up dropping out. Listen to the voice of logic ! |

LordIsaac:What folks like u don't understand is that there are many people who left the public system to Covenant and didn't improve much. No many of them changed their class of result or grade and I am sure the few who improved did because of repetition of some course work. |

LordIsaac: You're funny. Seems you didn't read my post fully. Like I said, I'm a product of a top rated federal university and read one of the most competitive and regulated courses in a region of the country known for its educational prowess. So if there was a bragging right associated with that, I'm well qualified Like I mentioned earlier, I used to brag about the so called difficulty of state owned higher institutions until I got myself exposed to how stuff works in a progressive society. I then saw the folly in my previous belief. I still remember one of my lecturers bragging that he cannot set an mcq and more than 10% would get upto 50%. In a functional system, that would have been his last day as a lecturer. But guess what, he's a "top" professor in Nigeria. Lecturers should want their students to pass and succeed brilliantly. The sad thing is nat most of the sadistic lecturers are hardly available to teach. The fact is that the system present in most public institutions make them unfit to be called universities in the first place. That a university like CU is embracing the right order puts it ahead of virtually all public universities. It's just like the Cameroonian FA and National team claiming to be better than their French counterparts because Mbape couldn't make the Cameroonian team (as his father didn't have the money to pay for bribes) but where as made the French team with minimal effort. A chaotic system would always be beneath a system that does things right. I guess you're still an undergraduate and really feel pained reading you post. You should read up Stockholm syndrome and see how it applies to you. There is no glory in backwardness 3 Likes |
