A Nigerian professor on sabbatical at the University of Ghana, Legon has said degrees awarded by Ghanaian universities are only up to 20% the quality of those awarded by universities in Nigeria.
He expressed his disappointment in Nigerians who come to Ghana to acquire degrees which is more expensive than what they pay in Nigeria.
“…our people will come here and pay $10,000 but they will not pay N20,000 in the University of Lagos... What an average student pays in the University of Lagos in one session to get a degree in English is N12,000. Ghanaians are there paying N12,000… if you ask Nigerians to donate N50,000 naira every year to contribute to that university they will riot but the same Nigerians will come here and pay $10,000 for something 80% inferior to Nigeria.”
The professor who seems peeved about the treatment meted out to Nigerians in Ghana noted that he won't pay the amount Ghanaian universities charge foreign students for his child to earn a degree.
“I won’t pay 10% of that sum for my child to get a degree in a Ghanaian university, I am in the system I know the quality of education we receive here is 80% inferior to what is in Nigeria. I can tell you authoritatively,” he added.
He further stated that Ghana doesn’t have what it takes to make a university.
“No Ghanaian degree is 20% up to the quality of a Nigerian degree. All our federal universities are better than any universities here. What makes a university, it’s not buildings, it’s not trees, it’s the quality of staff that will recycle and produce others they don’t have it,” he said.
The man who mentioned his name as Augustine Nwabara made these statements in a leaked video which has gone viral on social media.
The video is purported to have been shot at a secret meeting held between some Nigerians in Ghana.

This Professors is making sense. Just do a simple check on the succesful entrepreneurs in Nigeria and compare them to those in Ghana. This shows that the quality of both academic and traditional education in Nigeria far better than the ones we have in Ghana. Those insulting the professor should be mindful that it is not getting the degrees but the output that those degrees generates. Most Ghanaians are academically and traditionally lazy. Just look at Nigerians, the are very good and professional in their careers. Just compare nigerian businessmen to those in Ghana. Massa, someone should tell Ghanaians to be serious and sstop the bragging. Do we Ghanaians have the kind of industries that the Nigerians have? We comfort ourselves that their monies are JUJU monies. You watch their ***barred word*** movies and rely on them to make those perceptions about the way they make thier monies. Nigerians are hardworking guys. I love Africa and love Africans no matter where you come from.
Africans are our own enemy. How can we hate on ourself but rather love the white people. No wonder they don’t take us serious. God help us. If you think Nigerian universities are better why don’t you go and lecture there.
To be honest i wouldn't pay a 1000 Ghana cedis for a Nigeria University. all though is big Nation and I total respect efforts and commitment to their Nation but what as a young Ghana know and experience is that all the common things in Ghana become so big in Nigeria. he absolutely right but the problem is whole Africa not only Ghana where people make degrees and don't have the resource to practice it. it should be a Larson to Ghanaian s to demand for quality and meaningful education for young Ghanaian s. elderly people should know the more older the less productive you becomes. so Respect the up coming young ones. for the will one day take your footsteps.
This is what is out, i wonder what people/nations are planning behind the seen. @ADB & Joe, i don't think it's jealousy,i think he's being nationalistic.And he's doing that unfairly,talking about maltreatment Nigerians go through. What the police man whom he claim is a Nigerian did to him, they do that to us every day. The police in Nigeria does same to them, if not worse. So what is he talking about. We don't have different prison for Nigerians/foreigners and different for Ghanaians. Our national security shouldn't pick him up. They should rather get data on foreigners entering our country and their reason for coming here. And what exactly they do in our country. We the citizens, should also be vigilant. Let's be observant of what goes on around us. If you see something,say something.
Go tell this to the Nigerian students who attend Ghanaian universities. They know Nigerian universities are there and they are good, not so? Why are they still trooping to Ghana to have their degrees? This so-called professor is full of jealousy and envy, and he just wants to do a propaganda warfare on the Nigerian students. The students know the value of Ghanaian degrees and they are happy with our educational system, our siren campus environment with occultism, criminality limited to the barest minimum, high quality of our degrees and diplomas, our campus accommodation, the quality of our lecturers and professors who do not parade fake PhDs, etc. Why doesn't this man go back to wherever he came from to impart knowledge to his Nigerian students? Omo Alata!!
THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. WHY ARE NIGERIAN STUDENTS TROOPING TO GHANA FOR THEIR UNIVERSITY EDUCATION. THIS SO CALLED PROFS. ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD
WHERE IS NATIONAL SECURITY THIS MAN MUST BE PICKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER EVERYTHING HE SHOULD BE DEPORTED TO NIGERIA IF YOU HAVE SUCH CHARACTERS AS PROFESSORS WHAT DO EXPECT FROM THE UNEDUCATED ONES AMONG S THEM I AM ASHAMED FOR THIS MAN
It is obvious that you are jealous of Ghana and the jealousy has turned to hate. Why don't you go back to your country if you think you country is better? Ghana did not know of armed robbery and kidnapping until Nigerians introduced them here. We have had enough of you people. You claim Nigerian University degrees are better than degrees from Ghanaian Universities. Go and tell that to the marines. People all over the world know the worth of a Nigerian University degree - WORTHLESS. At the end of the day, you are making a living here but saying all sorts of negative things about us and also plotting evil against us. Go back to you country )ga. We don't need you here
What this so called professor saying was noting but jealousy and envy... Nobody asked Nigerian to come and school here... Talking about quality, we all know the country that tops west Africa examination council exams every year... So its not true when he says our quality is inferior and their superior... Ghanaian education system is one of the best in Africa... far better than that of Nigerian.. That is why one can see countries like Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry all prefer to come to Ghana
