semitunde: I don't have to. I grew up in Nigeria and I know how terrible our buildings are. |

bushdoc9919: Where are they going to get the money from when "superstar" (by Nigerian standards) governors like Akpabio are using millions of dollars to build "world class" stadiums which would be used maximum 6 times a year and the likes of cretins from his state like pendusky are so proud of it? Ask what he spent on education to make it world class and you will get silence. But they have stadium sha. Now they cannot pay state workers. Akpabio the magnificent. Oh, I forgot, he did not give world class education to the masses but he tried to give himself world class pension of N100m per year. GIANT OF AFRICA TINZ! |

Insidous: But you never went to OAU though... Visit when you're around... It won't change your perspective, but it will show you we still have hope. Besides, OAU wasn't built or designed to be like most foreign universities, its consept was uniquely based on taking advantage of its environment and climate. You will get it wrong, trying to compare it with modern foreign buildings. For instance, one of the building I took there has natural lighting that looks like its electricity driven, but its simply naturally illuminated. |

OrlandoOwoh: True. Many people nowadays have a foreign biased concept of beauty. I have almost 100 pics here of different places, but it will derail this thread kind of. |

semitunde:I just finished reading some informative facts about the University of Ife (now OAU) on the website of Arieh Sharon, the Israeli architect that designed the campus. |

bushdoc9919: So how are the Scandinavian Universities being run? Isn't their tuition mostly free? Even for foreigners |

tpiadotcom: You are a cretinous fuuktard! |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by OrlandoOwoh(m): 10:08pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
semitunde:You're right. Arieh Sharon put into consideration some climatic conditions before he designed the campus. 1 Like |

OrlandoOwoh: I saw the Covenant University ( funny the school itself was built borrowing from the OAU concept), and I thought the oduduwa hall (not Amphi theater), with all its light would beat that easily. Covenant is the only Nigerian university shown here apart from OAU. |

semitunde: Federal University Kogi was also shown, although the book lawn with the waterfall looks like photoshop, unless someone can provide a close up picture from different angles. LAUTECH, Jos are also on the thread. and some uncomplimentary photos of two other schools. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by semitunde: 10:21pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
OrlandoOwoh: You know a new Senate building is being built? I kinda know one or two things about that... To be located opposite the bookshop, beside HSLT. That are of land beside the first bus top when you get into the school. Work has started already. CBN funded. |

semitunde: I think the old one is ok but I guess change is constant. I hope they don't build one of those unflattering modern designs though? To be located opposite the bookshop, beside HSLT. That are of land beside the first bus top when you get into the school. wonder if the greenery is vanishing from there . . . . . . . . . . |

tpiadotcom: Many of the pictures of especially the foreign universities here have been taken with high tech cameras. Many of them automatically enhance the pictures, hence more colourful. Also, I think the weather in many European countries help. They don't have the brown/ orange tinge associated with dust flying around. OK. My bad, I didn't see the other schools. |

Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by semitunde: 10:31pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
tpiadotcom: Lol. The design is OAU specs. But I fear changes would be made cos the funds can't cover the original design. Can't say more than that for now... |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by CoolBigSam(m): 10:31pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
abatically:Yea true. But the standard of living is relatively high in those countries and in a way makes up for that. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by tpiadotcom: 10:33pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
semitunde: well, they can modify the scale I guess, without compromising the design basics. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by semitunde: 10:42pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
tpiadotcom: Its what's being looked at currently. As per the old one being enough, I heard that it was originally part of master plan to site the senate building at its new location. Maybe the old one will become the administrative building. Already, Exams and Records has occupied the new completed wing of the now "old" senate building. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by tpiadotcom: 10:45pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
I heard that it was originally part of master plan to site the senate building at its new location ok, the old photos also show a lot of palm trees on the campus, those are all gone now, so I guess there are modifications over the years. Now its mainly flowering and fruit trees. eg, this palm tree in front of Oduduwa Hall, no longer there: Not sure of the date of the photo. Already, Exams and Records has occupied the new completed wing of the now "old" senate building hope its too secure for expo. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by Nobody: 10:47pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
semitunde: No, I have got lot of friends there though I understand but still it is nothing to write home about if I compared with old architectures. |

CoolBigSam: Niegeians like better things but don't want to pay the price. Better things don't come cheap. Yes standard of living here is low, that is why our educational system has to be substandard too to balance things. If govt build world class universities, how many people can afford to pay 4 million Naira for a semester? Then it will be like education is only for the rich huh. Last time fuel subsidy was removed we all went on strike, now we are paying the price as it only favors some people while the masses are suffering. Now we still buy that fuel for N100 and above and not without queues. |

The glittering state of all this wonderful structures just amazes me. |
Re: Some Cool Campus Facilities You Really Need To See. by semitunde: 11:06pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
tpiadotcom: The link you put here is giving error reports. In any case, if the location is as I described, then that's the building. OK. I can see its a pix, this doesn't show the actual location. Going along that road one, its on the right. But stop area. I have pics of the architecture design and on going works but I'll need permissions to put them online. |

Universities in China have very cool facilities too. I was just telling my friend that our school stadia (we have 2 of them), are better than most states' stadium in Nigeria. Masterpiece! |
