I have met products from UI and OAU Ife, and the few first class among them that I know can hold their own againts the best of them.

With all these bashing, is there no product of Unilag who can defend their honor?

greall12:

I am also a graduate,All these first class it"s look some how to me,Is not easily to got first class in a school strict with exam, with a senior lecture"s,If they go school like U.I i bet those first class student wil fall into 2nd class upper or Lower,this is unsound.i don"t  belive UNILAG and reading like U.I UNI ILORIN & co

IN YABATECH but was able to make a FIRST CLASS IN DSAME COURSE IN Unilag
so please let us be honest to ourselves,some ploytekniks like yabatech r more difficult to gradute 4rm like unis as
Unilag, 

You remember Gregory Ugwi, the guy with the highest jamb score in 2002 and was awarded scholarship to attend Princeton University, track him down today and ask him what he feels about U.S engineering curriculum.

You will find that 95% of Nigeria medical school students graduated from high school with distinctions and higher JAMB score! You can't say the same for engineering or other majors. By contrast, engineering in U.S is more rigorous compared to other countries.

^ Did u go to loyola?

Yeah I noticed the Greg Ugwi guy dropped Engineering to study Mathematics. If you know him personally was it because it was too hard or because he did not like engineering?

True though a lot of Nigerian students who were literally the best in Nigeria (Like best in the whole of Nigeria in WAEC) and went to top schools in teh US to study engineering and hard sciences would tell you how challenging the curriculum is.

Nevertheless, I still think the US educational system is grade inflated , not as grade inflated as the UK but still inflated. Yes not in the sciences but the social sciences its just too much especially in Government, Sociology e.t.c

Also it depends on your school, I have some old classmates who have a 3.7 in engineering though they work hard but they are not the brightest bunch on the planet.

I strongly differ. Most of the students I know going to engineering were the best in WAEC with lots 5-8 A1 and none I know made a 1st Class in Engineering though theyw ere very very close. The people studying medicine too were academically hot but the engineering ones were equally the best in Nigeria.

Why Gregory Ugwi changed to Mathematics, honestly I have no clue. I didn't think the question had to do with if he could it handle it or not. He could handle any course, medicine or engineering. However, he had enormous proficiency in mathematics. I think its more of a decision of choice. Gregory is one of the most brilliant minds I have ever come across.
He works for U.S Goldman Sacks today, same company our Minister of finance, Mr. Olusegun Aganga worked for in managing Director capacity but in london.

I returned to the country 2 years ago. Attended Loyola Jesuit College. We were the first sets of students in that school. Still have a vivid memory of the Sosoliso airline crash that killed 60 students of our own. Most of them close friends of my. Graduated Magma cumlaude from (U.S version first class honors with more prominence, in that you have to defend most of your senior works, and all faculty member/professors in your department must sign before such award is bestowed ) from CU Boulder, and currently a senior engineer at NNPC, Abuja. There is nothing like home!

Somebody mention Delsu as a comparison to Unilag. I must tell you that Delsu is a dumping ground for people that cannot even think of getting admission into the top Universities in Nigeria so there is no need to even mention that school as over 80% of the people that go ther are[b] either average or below average

This is the most senseless comment in NL.People make university choices base on so many factors not on JAMB score alone.I v people who had very low scores in JAMB yet they went to IFE,UI,UNILAG and there r others who had very high scores and yet attended state uni. In my case,i had a good score but my parents insisted i stud in my state uni just to be closer to home. Its highly competitive to secure admission in any Nigerian university,be it federal or state.
I had 7Bs,270,2.1,and yet attended a state university,do u consider this average in your analysis?Everybody must not attend federal uni or the so called ''top'' schools. With my state uni i secured admission in one of the top schools in the world, so fu uuu cc k ur Nigerian ''top'' school.

A Jesus/Mohd can be born anywhere.

sammy_avu: well,congratulations to the unilag graduate,but na wa o,in my school DELSU,the highest u ca c is 2or3 first class product that is the reason am proud of Delsu. Great desuite
