KLASSIQUE INTEGRATED CONCEPTS.
Title: The
LordOfSwagg Show.
Concept: An
Interactive Debate Talk show.
Topic: Which is
better for our Nation, Public or Private Universities?
Date: 31st
of March 2012.
The audience were comfortably seated, and the host
LordOfSwagg was ready to set the show rolling. After a brief introduction of
himself and the Debate topic, the Analysts were ushered to their seats with a
warm round of applause. Without further delay, the Debate started.
Mr. Abiodun Odunuga, a fresh graduate from a private
university, took his turn by listing the past and present benefits the Private
Nigerian Universities have given to the educational sector in the last decade;
while itemizing the failure of the public institutions too and their high level
of ‘‘Illiterate Graduates’’ .
However, Mr. Seun
Gbanja, a graduate from one of the public universities was quick to respond by
saying that Education is a primary responsibility of any government and that
our past nationalist set up the various public institutions based on the great
visions they had for this country. He did not fail to remind the audience that
majority of the private institutions were just money making ventures that
produce graduates that cannot fit into the practical Nigerian challenges.
The argument came to a climax when a member of the audience
posed a tricky question to Mr Abiodun. She said: Is it right that our Ex
president & Vp Open a private university after doing little or nothing to
improve the public ones during their tenure?
After much argument, twists and turns; the host Airhunuoje O
Michael a.k.a LordOfSwagg finally made a comment, according to him, both
private & public institutions have their pros and cons. Private
Universities take away your right to make a CHOICE, you are basically compelled
to obey instructions that most times as an individual, you don’t believe in. HE
says that a youth at age 18 that doesn’t know the difference between good &
evil has a problem. For the Public institutions, he submits that ‘FREEDOM’ has
led young individuals to do things that has changed their future negatively,
the laisze faire attitude has attributed to the large decay in students-
lecturer relationship which causes lecturers to extort from students as
students threaten lecturers.
The way forward therein is for our society and students to
understand that though your environment can affect your person, but it’s your
RESPONSIBILITY to determine what you become in life.

universities, should embark on a transformational project on the existing ones.
ü
Other tertiary institutions like polytechnics, monotechnics,
colleges of education, e.t.c should be well financed and given more

Parents should believe more in the inner
abilities of their wards rather than persuading them to become what they don't

a successful future.
