Top 10 Cheapest Polytechnics In Nigeria (2019)

January 27, 2019 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Do you want to attend a polytechnic in Nigeria and you’re currently searching for cheap polytechnics? Then this post is for you as we’ll be talking about the top 10 cheapest polytechnics in Nigeria in 2019.

While some people believe universities are the best tertiary institutions to attend in the country, others believe that polytechnics are obviously the best because students tend to learn better technical and practical skills in these polytechnics or technical schools than universities.

Many students in Nigeria often desire to have a taste these technical skills/training offered in some of the cheap Nigerian polytechnics before eventually advancing into the University to continue their education.

Although many Nigerian parents don’t buy the idea of studying in polytechnics for their children/wards, polytechnic education still remains one of the best available options for students who could not secure admission into a Nigerian university or some other students who cannot afford the high cost of tuition fees in some Nigerian Universities.

These cheap Nigerian polytechnics are mostly for those who don’t have sponsorship or any person or people to fund their schooling and other finances. The tuition fees of most Nigerian polytechnics can’t be compared to their counterparts – the universities who are slightly on the high side.

Polytechnics are more affordable with a payment structure which is more flexible than that of the Nigerian universities. The major aim of polytechnics in Nigeria is to make tertiary education available for every Nigerian who is ripe for schooling regardless of their financial status.

This article will contain a list of the top 10 cheapest polytechnics in Nigeria. It’s obvious that privately owned polytechnics and universities are always on the high side in terms of school fees, so we’ll not be including them here.

Top 10 Worst Courses To Study In Nigeria [2019]

January 17, 2019 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

You see those guys up there right? I’m sure don’t wanna be like them… LOL. This post will be about the worst courses to study in Nigeria because students who come out as graduates in them are almost not employable in Nigeria.

Although pursuing a good course at the university is not a grantee for instant employment or a good life. But its quite better to be on the right side as some courses aren’t just marketable in Nigeria.

The courses to be mentioned in this post are the worst courses to study in Nigeria, but this doesn’t mean that they(graduates of these courses) won’t be employed at all in Nigeria. It only means that the employment rate of graduates of these courses is extremely low.

Many of these courses will be extremely valued in other countries of the world. In Nigeria, they’re just a No for various employers.

After my research on the Nigerian tertiary education system and a few visits to various employers in the country, this is a comprehensive list of the worst courses to study in Nigeria.

Top 10 Worst Courses To Study In Nigeria 2019

Many students in Nigeria are always like “No B About Wetin You Study“. But the truth is that as an admission seeker you should always watch for the employment rate and relevance of any course in the society or don’t go to school at all(focus on your handwork or business).

This is an unbiased list of the worst courses any student can study in Nigeria and we’ve many factors into consideration when compiling it. Enjoy!

Home Economics

If you’re currently studying this course or planning to study it, forgive me for saying this but it’s a waste of time and resources.

Home economics is a course that deals with the relationship between individuals, families, communities, and the environment in which they live.

The last place I’ve seen a graduate of home economics work was in my junior secondary school as the home economics teacher.

Although this is an easy course to get when applying for admission into any university of your choice in Nigeria, it’s not worth the time.

Horticulture

JEEZ… Who still studies courses like this in 2019?

This is one course I can never advise any student in Nigeria to pursue… Never!. For those who don’t know, Horticulture is the study of the cultivation, processing, and sale of fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and flowers.

Horticulture is a good course(no doubt) with a high employment rate in other countries of the world. But don’t try to study the course in Nigeria if you’re going to be searching for a job after schooling(Nobody will employ you… Lol).

You can still startup a flower sale business. But there’s no difference between you and other flower sellers even after attending a university.

Horticulture is one of the worst courses to study in Nigeria for 2019.

General Arts

This is a course that covers most art branches like visual art, sculpture, paintings e.t.c. Most students who study this course find it hard to take a career path in life due to the complexity of general arts.

With the present condition of the economy in Nigeria(as of 2019), most people find it hard to purchase artworks with their hard earned money. They rather spend it on food.

This doesn’t mean it’s a bad course but try to make up your mind before going for it.

Social Studies

Most students who study social studies school always end up regretting it because they always end up in the classrooms or having no job at all.

With the new requirements by the Nigerian government for aspiring teacher to have a degree in education(social studies education in this case), Social studies graduates are certainly not employable in Nigeria.

Physical Education

This a good course for those who want to specialize in the education sector but its still under the worst courses to study in Nigeria.

Most graduates who studied this course usually head back to school to study a course under medicine and surgery in the university.

Why waste 4 years when you can just do one of the courses (like medical radiography which is easy to get) that are related to medicine and surgery in Nigeria. You can view the post about that Here

Anthropology

Almost no company in Nigeria employes Anthropologists(you can tell me one in the comment section).

Anthropology students study humans and human behaviour and societies in the present and past. The services of these graduates are almost no longer needed as Nigerians have other things to worry about.

Sociology

The skills of Sociologists in Nigeria are almost not needed in modern day Nigeria. Most sociologists suffer in school reading very big books but end up rejected by employers because their skills are irrelevant.

If you don’t have the Necessary Connection(s) to get a job in Nigeria not regarding the course you studied, please don’t go for this course.

C.R.K/I.R.K

As one of the least competitive courses in Nigeria, it’s certain that no student wants to study religious courses(C.R.K or I.R.K) again in Nigeria.

With the way Churches and Mosques in every nook and cranny within Nigeria, no one cares about what you studied in school for you to be a Pastor or Imam. People believe in others who can quote and explain the teachings of God/Allah regardless of what you studied in school.

Nevertheless, as a graduate of any of these religious courses, you can work in established religious firms like the Anglican church, Roman Catholic church and some mosques in Nigeria as a Sunday school teacher, Chaplain, Instructor, Imam e.t.c.

Overall religious courses are not the best to spend your university days on.

Crop Science

Crop science is also one of those courses which are not marketable in Nigeria. It involves the study of various crops and diseases that can affect them negatively.

Graduates who studied crop science without plans to start up their own businesses have very slim chances of getting employment in modern day Nigeria.

Overall, Crop science ok for people who have good plans for the future and not waiting for various employers of labour in Nigeria.

Animal Science

This course is simply defined as the study of the production and management of farm animals. In Nigeria, they have lesser employment than their counterparts in the Agricultural department.

Better alternatives for animal science are Veterinary Medicine and Agricultural Engineering.

Conclusion

This post has been about my personal view of the worst courses to study in Nigeria after conducting appropriate research online and offline.

January 15, 2019 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

One of the major mistakes which most admission seekers in Nigeria make is not finding a less competitive course for easy admission in their various first-choice universities in Nigeria.

This post promises to give you a complete list of less competitive courses in Nigeria by the departments in which the fall(Science, Commercial and Arts).

One of the advantages of going for less competitive courses in Nigeria is that these courses are the easiest to get admission into at any university of your choice in Nigeria because of a lesser number of applicants.

Note: This post isn’t trying to tell you not to go for your dream course at the University. But if you feel within yourself that you can’t beat the score of your department in 2019 Jamb, it is better to look at this list of the easiest university courses to get into in Nigeria and pick a course closer to your own.

In this post, we’ll be talking about some easiest university courses to get into in Nigeria and without wasting much time, let’s get straight into the list of the top 10 less competitive courses in Nigerian Universities.

Best Less Competitive Courses In Nigeria – Top 10

1. Languages

This is a very broad course in Nigerian universities with many branches which you can specialize in. Courses under languages are the easiest university courses to get into in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, most people assume that language is a very bad course and they always end up as teachers. But this isn’t true in present-day Nigeria as graduates of various language courses are highly respected.

As a graduate of most language courses, you can work as a personnel in most media and television companies in Nigeria.

Some graduates who study foreign languages like Chinese, Russian, Spanish and French work as interpreters for foreigners who may not understand English or various native Nigerian dialects.

Best Courses To Study Under Languages In Nigeria

Linguistics
Arabic
Hausa Language
Igbo Language
French
Yoruba Language
Chinese
Hindi
Portuguese
Spanish
Russian

2. History

History is also one of those underrated courses in Nigerian universities thus making it one of the less competitive courses in Nigeria.

This course is basically the study of past happenings as it is described in written documents. This course is applicable to many other professions in Nigeria.

Although it is highly underrated, History still remains one of the best courses for young secondary school lever from the arts department in Nigeria

3. Education

Most courses under education still remain one of the easiest university courses to get into in Nigeria. Just like its counterpart in the Arts dept – History, education courses are one of the highly underrated courses in Nigeria.

Most students currently suffer from the “I No Wan Be Teacher” syndrome(LOL).

Although Education courses are majorly studied in Colleges Of Education In Nigeria, most universities still take them as courses.

As a graduate of most education courses in Nigeria, you not only end up in the classroom as people say but become a legend in the life on many students by teaching them new skills that will last forever.

Best Courses To Study Under Education In Nigeria

French Education
Computer Science and Education
Technical and Vocational Education
Agricultural Science and Education
Entrepreneurship and Education

4. Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary medicine is one of the courses under medicine and surgery in Nigerian universities. So if you’re currently looking for medicine and surgery alternatives, you have one.

This course is a branch of medicine that covers the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in animals(humans excluded).

5. Agriculture

As a student(yeah me writing this post), I know that many students(like me) hate hearing about agriculture or agricultural related courses when applying for admission at a university in Nigeria.

But we got it all wrong.

Over the years, I discovered that Agriculture and other Agricultural courses aren’t as bad as we all thought. People who study these courses cont even wait on the government and other private individuals for employment.

They create employment themselves! Farming and agriculture, in general, are one of the lucrative businesses in Nigeria and these graduates become gainfully self-employed after graduation.

Best Courses To Study Under Agriculture In Nigeria

Agricultural Engineering
Animal Production
Crop Production
Agricultural Economics
Agricultural Science Education
Animal Science and Technology
Soil Science and Technology
Fisheries and Aquacultural Technolgy

6. Mathematics/Statistics

Most Nigerian students think mathematics and/or statistic are very hard courses thus making it one of the less competitive courses in Nigeria.

But wise students still study these courses and come out with high grades. Graduates of Mathematics and/or Statistics are amongst the most employable in Nigeria today.

So if you’re thinking of mathematics and/or statistics as one of the easiest university courses to get into in Nigeria then you should go for it.

7. Zoology

Please don’t call these guys zookeepers. They’re more than that Please! 😂😂

Most Nigerian students don’t understand what the course – Zoology is all about. These guys just go about calling them(people studying Zoology) zookeepers… Lol

Zoology is the study of animal behaviour, animal physiology and life. Zoologist work mostly in zoology parks, wildlife research facilities and aquariums.

This is a very professional course which is well known in Nigeria and other countries of the world.

8. Radiography

As complex as this course might sound, it’s still one of the less competitive courses in Nigeria. As a medical related course, medical radiography is one of the most in-demand courses in Nigeria right now.

Medical radiography is a well-respected profession in the Nigerian medical profession. Radiographers deal with the imaging of body cells, tissues and organs for the purpose of diagnosis using scientific techniques and tools such as ionizing radiation in safe doses.

Overall medical radiography is a good course and one of the easiest medical courses to get admission into at any university and off-course, a very good pay after you graduate.

9. Building Technology

As most university aspirants are running to the civil engineering department, some wise ones choose Building technology as their course of study for easier admission in Nigerian universities.

Building technology is the study the technical processes and methods used in the constructing buildings. It is basically a combination of both architecture and civil engineering.

As a building technologist, you can work anywhere you like as far as it’s in the building sector. Graduates of this course are highly respected in Nigeria.

10. C.R.K/I.R.K

C.R.K – Christian Religous Knowledge/Studies and I.R.K – Islamic Religious Knowledge/Studies

These courses made it to the list of the top 10 less competitive courses in Nigeria and are the easiest courses to get on this list.

C.R.K/I.R.K is the in-depth study and understanding of the Christian and Islamic religions respectively. People who study any of these courses can become teachers or lecturers at various public and private institutions in Nigeria.

A little number of these graduate also apply for the seminary/bible school(for Christians) and become pastors/priests and Imams respectively.

Other Less Competitive Courses In Nigeria

Oceanography
