Few years ago, I was not a Fan of Private institution but
fast forward to this Era, I think I will choose Private Institution over
and over again for myself and for my unborn children.
Years back, Government institutions use to be the best but are no
longer making any sense.. Today na strike, Tommorow na fight, Next
tomorrow na Protest.. I lie? – We don’t lie here on Naijaloaded
– Makinde say so!
Here are some reasons to attend a private university
1. A definite graduation date:
Unlike public institutions which are prone to strikes, in a private
university there’s no possibility of a strike. Atleast 6 government
universities have currently been shut down in Nigeria right now.
University of Ibadan, UNILAG, UNIPORT, AAU, KSU etc are currently shut
down.
This will lengthen the duration of time you are to spend on a
program. Crime rate by students of these institutions have increased
because they are now idle. Some of my friend in Fountain University,
Osogbo in 2014 countdown from 112 to their Graduation day.. Guess what?
They graduated on the exact day they had previously calculated, Try that
in a public school, You will add another 300 days to make it work.
2. It’s safer:
No cult clashes, no protests. You won’t live in fear of some cult
members or students vandalizing properties in the name of protests. One
of the biggest undoings of public universities is Cultism… Which has
claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people and cult members
respectively. However, students in private universities are safe from
the fear of a cult attack.
Protests are also very violent these days. Just the way it happened
in UNILAG and UNIPORT where lots of properties were destroyed and some
lives were in fact lost, in a private school there’s no chance for that.
3. A faster syllabus:
It takes just about 4 years to complete a 5 year program in private
schools. However public schools have a slower academic calendar. Even
without the strikes, the calendar of a private school is usually faster
than that of a public school.
4. A more concentrated learning process:
In private schools, special attention is given to every student of
the school. The lecturers all have a duty to pay special attention to
each and everyone of the student and put them through their lacks. This
way your flaw is easily detected and will be dealt with appropriately.
However in public schools especially with the size and population, it is
impossible for this to happen. The school have almost no personal
relationship with the students and they are not aware of any personal
psychological needs of the students.
5. Better welfare:
The individual welfare of the students are catered for. The
accommodation is way better than you get in hostels of public schools.
Most times they have no light or water problems. The condition of their
hostels and classes is way better too. Even in general courses you won’t
see them running to catch sits because everyone gets to sit down
comfortable. With the welfare learning is made a lot easier because you
will be less strained.
6. Better Moral Training:
The university is the melting point of all moral standards. There’s
no form of anti-moral behaviour you wouldn’t find in a university.
However, private universities, with their very strict enforcement of
moral values, have reduced the decay in moral values by far.
7. Superior real world experience and laboratory:
Most private universities are not just well equiped but super
equiped. Covenant university, Babcock university and Afe babalola
uniniversity combined easily dwarfs all public federal and state
universities combined in laboratory equipment standard and volume or
availability per student. I am pretty sure it will remain same if all
state schools are added to public schools while other private
universities are added to the mentioned schools.
8. Organized system:
In private systems. You get your transcripts easily. In public
univerisites the reverse is the case 40% of the time. Same pattern holds
for Jamb regularization, NYSC call-up and result checking.
9. No Lecturers Threat:
You hardly see or hear about Lecturers harassing ladies in Private
institutions or hear about Lecturer threatening to Fail you or not allow
you Graduate. Come down to Public institutions, A Lecturer can make you
fail for using Blackberry Q10 while he’s using Blackberry bold 5.
A Lecturer told my friend he won’t graduate just because he drives
Honda EOD, said he’s using the same car with the HOD.. Can you imagine?
