For context, the school fees of a premier University in Nigeria's largest city is less than £100.
I can bet ₦10K the phone being used to make the post (in jest) costs more.
Nigerians have to decide if they want to pay for good University education or not.
update: school fees na 100,750. 💀
does anybody need an apprentice or something ?

As an addendum.
- We need to increase the size of the economy badly. Minimum wage cannot be £1 a day. It's madness.
- We need many paths to economic prosperity outside the University system.

I have seen a lot of valid rejoinders pointing to "free" schools.
Those "free" schools are funded with 40% tax rates.
I rather all money the FG spends on producing low quality graduates to be spent on free, compulsory and high quality Kidergarton - Secondary school education.

A great foundation only is better than low quality foundation plus lower quality 1st floor.
The additional cost beyond tuition (books, housing etc) only to graduate with a degree that is frankly useless for 60% is not sustainable.
Techical colleges are much mure useful for most

No be today I start to dey discuss tertiary education reform for Nigeria.
And it will not be the last.
JAMB results should last for 2-3 years. Govt using unemployed youth to generate revenue no normal.
Allow people to apply to multiple schools. Admissions complexity makes no sense.
No first degree should be more than 3 years. If you want to practice, study for a Masters Degree.

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden all offer opportunities to study free or at low cost: In Norway, university study is available free of charge to all students, *regardless of study level or nationality*
You see?

But many developed countries give free university education. Why do we always make false comparisons

Even if you raise it to £1k/annum on school.....that minimum wage thingy no balance. What are his chances of getting a job that pays atleast £500/month wage?

Better to have a great secondary school foundation and learn a trade and be great at it.
The amount of unemployed graduates is too much. People calculate only school fees not factoring the cost to attend school is at least 500k/ year for each person. Not including commute risk.

We want to enjoy a capitalist system with a socialist mindset 🤣🤣🤣
Who will fund the FREE SCHOOLS
They say developed countries have free tuition, do you pay developed taxes? 😂

I don’t think Nigerians would complain about the cost of fees if they could AFFORD them.

People that are paying $8 - $10 a month for Twitter blue want to pay $25 a year for university education.

Yeah! Pay high fees for every single thing in the country, while legislators get “Hardship Allowance”.
Many of you will never be free of your shackles.

With all due respect, this is a typical example of "a problem being easier solved on paper". First of all, why point out the cost of his phone? Is that supposed to drive your point home? Why are you using the financial capacity of one to make a case for 250 million+? Does it....

You are pricing in pounds? Haba.
What is this country responsible for to Nigerians. One thing. I would like to know.

There is not a thing that the state of Nigeria does for Nigerians besides cheap education.
And again. The reason this is being discussed is because < 10,000 people stole so much money that 198 plus million people begin to flounder.
And then conversations like these come up.
