nairalanda1:


But you have to have the money, and the problem with Nigeria is, we don't have enough money.

The stealing and looting makes matters worse. As does the inefficiencies.

Plus we already have subsidised education and health.

If you want to pay for subsides, start by rasing our tax to gdp ratio.

Otherwise we will continue to borrow and borrow to meet welfare goals that cannot be achieved.

Tackling stealing and corruption from politheifians should be the focal point not destroying the hope of the poor and clling it renewed hope.

Brendaniel:
Tinubu should also resign since he has failed Nigerians

Will his resignation favour you and your family?

bonnyhope:


Will his resignation favour you and your family?

It will favour all Nigerians....

Yes and also fixing our fiscal deficits

tollyboy5:

She was very correct. You just want to focus on the insult and not the message. How is minimum wage in this country vs ..

No she was not.

Our universities need far more money than they have.

Pretending that they don't is a joke

OneCandleAway:


This comparison is stupid.

What is the minimum wage in the US compared to nigeria. Then look at the tuition a local student pays abroad which is different from international tuition, if an international student is paying $15,000 abroad for a degree, a local student can pay $5000.

Also, these local students have access to scholarships, payment plans broken into up to 6 or 8 installments and loans for the reduced tuition they pay without having to get any level 13 guarantor. And even after influential people help them pay their loans in some cases unlike here that you hardly can find influential people giving back selflessly to the society.
Then compare to nigeria before spitting trash online.

Don't mind that yeye bat, he doesn't know what he is saying.

nairalanda1:
So, she expects the university to survive on cheap fees?

Nigerians would complain all day long about half baked degrees...yet when efforts are made to improve things, they would complain poverty.

200000 naira is 270 dollars at most. And it is from that money that you expect degrees that can compete with unviersites that charge higher.?

Okay o. I don talk.

Modified

Looks like people don't want to get what I say

Na the students cause the dollar issue? U think say u wise abi?

Okay , this one has missed my point completely.

the only education govt should subsidize is public primary secondary education... Govt spend huge to sponsor pple abroad for masters PhD yet many don't return... To me that's not good... Besides how many tax can u pay to ensure education is free for everyone... At all levels...

Read again. I did not say make education free at all levels.

All federal universities have been tuition fees. If you remove all other subsidies is the savings not more than enough to fund the universities?

How many Nigerians can afford to send their children to a school that pays 700k per semester? Do you know how many students will drop out?

People are quick to defend policies they know next to nothing about the after effect!

Thank you very much,most Nigerians just rush foolishly to compare everything to the dollar without considering other factors, forgetting that the naira depreciates daily,most times I wonder how some of our educated people reason,one of the argument for subsidy removal was that Nigeria had the cheapest fuel prices amongst petroleum producers,now with subsidy removal we are among the most expensive but no one is making comparison now, it's in Nigeria that educated people shamelessly praise n worship crookish incompetent criminals ruling the country out of sentiments.

I understand her situation n stand on this matter. There r some battles you can win alone, you need other people support to propel u to victory . Probably others compromised but she refused to be part of it n she was left alone to fight the battle in the mist of so many enemies. In this situation the best option is to take a walk to save your integrity.

I already knew tinubus methods is to tax the masses heavily so I'm not surprised. Lagos method. And he will bribe labour unions to shut them up. By now there are no news on palliatives to help people mitigate effects of fuel increase. You want to give student loan and telling them to get high level guarantor? How would an orphan or people from poor family achieve that.

What we needed was someone compassionate that feels the pains of the masses but we vote for leaders who come to deceive us every election period and make us suffer after as if we are here to slave and work for them.

Greenfaces:
I paid 6k in uniben 2007 to 2012. Paid 15k final year with gown. Which one kon be all this 100k plus i dey hear.

federal Universities is still tuition Free what pple pay is school charges... It's state Universities that aren't tuition Free... Like I said University education is luxury how many get to do msc PhD after BSC why not say govt should subsidize post graduate too..

nairalanda1:


Then enjoy your bad university

It is what an income of 80000 naira can afford

.

Bro not fighting.
But since the uni was the way it was, has Nigerian doctors not been doing well even here and abroad.

The issue is income not school fees

You know wages is paid per hour.
Some people are receiving as high as 50 dollars per hour
Of course they will leave that part.

nairalanda1:


Okay, don't complain about our bad universities,.......after all it is what we can afford.

Even in advanced countries, there are access to loans and what have you.

Medicine still requires some skills that can't be taught by advanced machines.

And as you said the issue is income. Income of universities are bad. That's before we even mention the corruption and looting

I salute her

bizhop01:

She will come back to contest for SUG president seat after she graduate, did you attend school at all?

Only the President that is sure to be a final year student except you can prove to me that she is also in her final year!

Hmm
I still remember how my roommate and I were rooting for her during the elections
It's well

My brother you literally captured everything! It's indeed a pity.. for me once I see you defending Bulaba you look like a rat, lizard or even chicken to me... I see you as just a breathing object!! Wasting oxygen for plants.

marlow1962:
Okay I got suspended for speaking the truth, funny how people so much dwell and cherish lies and suffering.

Anyways, this is just a reminder that
Education= so help me lord
Infrastructures= so help me lord
Transportation= so help me lord
Health= so help me lord
God given mineral resources= so help me lord
Electricity= so help me lord
FOOD= so help me lord

Infact all basic amenities meant to be enjoyed by the citizens is ZERO.
But
Government steals billions= on your mandate we stand
Government officials sends all their children to foreign schools = baba nla
Government imposes strict law to punish the masses= may this policy favor I and my family
Government buys million dollar cars for themselves and family= I was blind, now I can see
Government moves billions and trillions with just a pen= God bless you sir, yes look him up death to all fraudsters
Government pays you peanuts to remain in poverty= may your days be long sir.

Like seriously when are we going to learn?
Government has used POVERTY and tribalism to hold the average Nigerian down. Brothers fighting brothers because of tribe and religion. Just letting you know, as a poor man your kids can no longer go to school.

I have noticed one thing in nairaland, people that justify and defend evil are people that DONT HAVE BILLS TO PAY.
Yes I said that, because if at least 20k goes out from your pockets EVERYDAY without any tangible reason, then you know what's up.

90% of people here are kids who feel because it is a faceless forum, that they can talk nonsense and defend evil, while their parents struggle to meet up with ends meal. I do not blame them, them see food chop.

When are Nigerians (I don't give a FUCCK about your tribe) going to get tired of suffering? When?
What kind of curse was layed on Nigerians, that they see suffering as a daily routine.
You're justifying the hike in electricity, but you can't afford petrol for 600, nawa for you.

I have been observing many people here for a while, the way some people speaks online shows the rate of intelligence one got.
Let's see how far it goes, this is just barely a month and Nigerian are already telling on people.
Yes let's remove subsidy, the money will be use to develop our country, you're a foool. All the money your government has been borrowing from 1960 till date, what has it been put to that has impacted the lives of the average man?
Nigerians will keep suffering, untill they stand up and say we are tired of suffering.

Haha some people will qoute me to insult me and my family. But guess what? We go see suffer, suffer belle full.
Jubril regime that most of you carried coffin all in the name of Jonathan must go, the regime didn't favor you and your family, na tinubu regime wn cun favor you and your family, issoryt.
