koonbey: Exactly,I think as of Today,Unilorin is a better Institution than OAU

The same Unilorin where my folks that chose OAU and flunked UME five times, resorted to after their attempt to go to OAU failed, or another one?

Tunjasko: The ranking was not based on academic standards...As for me,I think unilorin is still the best in academics considering the standard of graduates they produced and the non-disruption of their academic calendar

Standard of graduates? Care to list Unilorin outstanding grads and let's compare with Ife's?

BrutusOj: And they keep producing graduates who doesn't knw d difrence btween HIS and IS, HAS and AS..congrats anyway

See who's correcting grammar.

Happy for us but tired of staying Nigerian govt putting my life in hold

Answer the question above......

Coming wih more question....

Ode leleyi Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo o !!

Acecube: unilorin has all the above plus fast {and non-striking} academic calendar

It is not about the fast academic calenders, its about quality. You can have fast academic calenders and be producing irrelevant and unmarketable graduates. Great Ife

forget d blackboard ish, lecturers at MIT use blackboards so stop condemning, dnt bother quoting nd saying crap, google it.

The first is not negotiable in all aspect,we are already used 2 it in all ramifications....Of the greatest Ife,plz jst mellow on d argument cos they can't understand how we run tinz here,'IF U'RE NOT THERE,U DNT ASK HW IT WAS SHARED' Go obtain jamb form and join league of first! *Chikena*

I knw deep down that most people envy OAU and all d hype abt every success achieved was as a result of jealous nature of man...i knw some people dat were nt admitted to study in oau wil also talk ills(bad enough).This first position is nt even a big deal to an average 'great' cos it is our birthrighth...talk of architectural masterpiece,quality of lecturers,smart,brilliant,intelligent and conscious students,quality academic challenges etc.It is nw high time we all realise dat ife is Nigeria God-given institution(our own havard),let all treasure it to meet up with d ivy league universities in d world as it is certain dat no other university could be nuture to compete in that standard *haterz lobatan*

obalogy22: There are only 2 schools in d world,oau and others.i rep oba awon university,make u go hug transformer if u no dey satisfied.

There are actually two categories of Universities in Nigeria vis: University of Nigeria and others(Univ. In Nigeria). Dnt try to fake it.

ezeama1010: There are actually two categories of Universities in Nigeria vis: University of Nigeria and others(Univ. In Nigeria). Dnt try to fake it.

The same UNN that is yet to recover from the Biafran War. We see how poorly planned your campuses, UNEC and UNN, are in Nollywood movies. You hardly see OAU being used - we have standard.

Kelechi2020: i think we need more information on this stuff.
we nairalanders are too educated to be feed with cooked u stories that are not backed by fact
oh this ammounts to gutter journalism

Nonsense! The news is everywhere.

seedord247:

Lmmaooooo.... many are mad but few roam the street.

my belle oh

Outside school environment, I've met a number of OAU graduates, and they are not as academically good as you guys hype it here. Unilorin grads often show a high level of competence in their subject area than OAU graduates. However, in term of activism, i give it to OAU; they are unparalleled.

Webometric ranking is a WEB RANKING not an academic ranking, they rank universities according to their presence on the web.

seedord247:

GO TO SOUTH AFRICA AND SEE WHAT THEY CALL UNIVERSITY..

THEIR LECTURERS DONT GO ON STRIKE..

THEIR LECTURERS DONT ASK FOR BRIBE OR SLEEP WITH THEIR FEMALE STUDENTS.

THEIR ENVIRONMENT IS CONDUCIVE FOR LEARNING..

ITS A PITY THAT THEY STILL USE BLACKBOARD IN NIGERIA UNIVERSITY WHILE IN OTHER COUNTRIES THEY USE PROJECTOR TO TEACH STUDENT.

BRB

How should we go to south Africa? Is it our fault that what should be provided is not provided by those who are supposed to do that. Most people have graduated from these your so called black board lecture halls and are still much better than their south African counterparts intellectually. By the way webometrics ranking is based more on the online presence of the university not what is obtainable on ground.

All of you that are beefing OAU,and u are asking for the criteria that webometric use to rank, the fact is whatever criteria they use,how many times have they mistakenly ranked your school among the first 10 universities in Nigeria talkless of Africa. If u like beef OAU from now reach tomorrow, the fact is that oga is the master any day anytime.And mind u the ranking is not done by asking for your opinion so anything u like u can say. I REP OAU FOR LIFE.

Look at the grammar of those purportedly from OAU, they obviously don't know what webometrics is all about.

Stevosty: Look at the grammar of those purportedly from OAU, they obviously don't know what webometrics is all about.

Whatever Webometrics is all about, OAU was pronounced first.

.

What's the fight all about? One truth is this, OAU is good, we all know that. I've been there, and to other schools, but I respect OAU very much. Their students are Iwes(geniuses) **winks**

OAU runs pure GP system. Even Seun Osewa is a product of OAU. Ask him...

All d universities are thrash..Oau or oou...No deceive yourself...Just be thanking God say you deh see food chop cos i finish school oo with better grade and no b school weh i go husstle na hin i deh take chop////calm ur nerves all

I don't even think that there is a reason to include any Nigerian Universities when it comes to ranking.cos what pride do they havee when it comes to academic excellence.if any matters arises, strike is the only thing they use for government not minding the careers of their students.... Should we call this a University Now a schl is being ranked as 8th in africa... What message are the passing across to our useless government or to the lecturers of the chl invoved. May God help us
