There have been series of arguments
about the superiority of some courses in
Nigerian Tertiary institutions: some
students feel their course of study is
more important and special than others.
Don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you
with my opinion about that-maybe I will
put that forward another day.
Some courses, students or departments
in our schools have been facing this
inferiority tag. Because of this, some
lose interest in their course or ashamed
but we still have the proud ones who
don’t care. I still don’t know what
people see wrong with these courses
that they tend to underrate but here is
the list:
The 5 Most Underrated Courses in
Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are
1. History
People don’t just see reasons why
someone will go and spend four years or
more to study past events. History
students are always tagged archaic;
their discussions and studies are always
based on passed dates and events. You
might be tempted to feel superior to
someone who all what he has to offer is
events that happened even before
Christ (BC) in this 21st century.
2. Agriculture
Agriculture students are popularly called
“farmers”. I don’t know why people
look down on this course? Maybe
because you always see them in campus
with farming tools and in their farm. I
am sure others undermine them
because they are naive about the
fortune they can make with the
knowledge of the course. People are
going back to Agriculture and
embracing it daily, so I believe this
should be out of this list soon.
3. Nigerian Languages
“Hey babe! What Course are you
studying in school?” and her reply was
“Yoruba Language”. My friend bursted
into laughter telling me why didn’t she
just go to a typical village and mingle
with the villagers to learn their
language, instead of coming to school.
Students studying Nigerian Languages
faces this downgrade almost every day
in school.
4. Education Courses
Because of the poor treatments being
accoladed to teachers in Nigeria,
students studying any education course
are degraded-students see them as
another “suffer head” teacher to be.
They have forgotten that without
teachers, they won’t be where they are
presently and we now have successful
teachers making it big.
5. Zoology/Botany
Zoology and Botany are different
branches of Biology and what they do is
to study plants and animals. Because
zoology is related with “Zoo”, other
students assumes all the students
studying it will end up in the Zoo.
