Mtcheew!!

Do I look like some ignorant tramp to you?

Do you think I dunno what "webometrics" means?

Isn't it some way of ranking the website component of schools as well as their impact?

Wh tf has webometrics helped?

I'm talking about best schools you're telling about website rankings.

Oga, dey go jarey, I don close.

Hearsays. All hearsays.

Don't make statements you won't be able to defend.

Nusaf:
'English' is a proper noun just the way ur name is a proper noun too.

Draxler:

Oh sir it's per month. 10GB per month. And the scholarship is given after the graduates write an exam. So if the first class graduates are so bad why do they do better than your public uni first class graduates in that particular exam. Do we start with inventions sir? Your screens are they in every classroom? Do you recycle Your own waste for purposes relating to renewable energy? Lame ko. And like I said earlier we are higher than you in the webometrics rankings. So please stop looking down on private university graduates. That's the point of this discussion.

Gaddafithe2nd:

This is not about hearsay. My cousin and I are close.
We discuss a lot, share ideas and materials.
What I said in my comment is the fact. Same thing happened to me during my research project.
I told my supervisor, that I would be using a certain software called HYSYS the man ridiculed it just because he doesn't understand it. Am not here to ridicule any school I am saying the fact. Am a graduate of Unilag and I do tell my lecturers then, that we need a serious reform in our schools, most especially science and technology courses.

Gaddafithe2nd:

Unilorin my foot. My cousin graduated as the best students in his class in 2013. He studied geology.
He once told me he had a conversation with one of his lecturers about a drilling technique called Auger bucket drilling which his used for geotechnical problem.
The responded that he doesn't know it and if he writes such thing during his exam he will fail him.
What am I driving at, lecturers in govt universities are backward. The same thing happened to me doing my research project.

Draxler:


You said no international ranking can put a private university ahead of a public university. Isn't that what you said? And i just told you about one that does. Stop forming like you are the only one that knows your stuff. We all know what webometrics means. Its respected whether it's for websites or not.

Joavid:
how about I know a true confirmed story of FUTA deliberately frustrating their final year students (by all means possible) who have the potential to graduate with a first class all because FUTA believes there is a limited number of first class students they should graduate every year .... imagine that!

a private university can't do that.

OneManLegion:


Okay, 10GB per month is large but you can wake me up when it gets larger than unlimited.

This scholarship scheme you're talking about, I'd never heard about it until now so you can bet that if a sizeable number of federal school students hear about, they'll be sure to displace your folks from the beneficiaries.

No sir, we don't recycle our waste for the purposes energy renewal; do you have a genetically engineered animal? Any animal?

Do you even have a zoo?

No? I guessed as much.

Like I said, webometrics is shit. No one gives a flying _fuck about webometrics except the Covenant university folks who are understandably gleeful about besting a reputable institution like Unilorin in any field; even if it's in one as inconsequential as webometrics.

OneManLegion:


Oga, webometrics ranks websites, not schools. We're talking about schools themselves, not their websites.

Thank you very much.

Nusaf:

Where do u think private universities source their lecturers from? Most of these graduates of private universities were withdrawn from public universities due to poor academic performances. They simply could not cope with the academic demands of public schools. A true first class graduate is one who was able to pass through all challenges in a public university and still emerge with that grade. Remember, degree is awarded both in character and learning. As such you must be able face all challenges, including the unruly behaviours of your lecturers.

Nusaf:

Then Madonna University may be good in all courses but English.

Draxler:


Its a proper noun when used to describe someone from England.

OneManLegion:


No, dear, first class pass first class. If you doubt, leave your private uni and comman sample Unilorin.


You go believe.

Draxler:

Schools abroad respect the ranking whether you do or not. OAU was number one a while back and they took it as good news too so i dunno what youre saying. Its not inconsequential as you claim. Its used to be unlimited too sir, there were several reasons why it had to be cut to 10GB per month. Have any of your students invented a car? Wake me up when you do. And the scholarship scheme was for both private and public peeps. Your public university friends with first class results probably know about it

Geniuses are borne not made. Ayodele Daniel Dada (the
student who broke record in the University of Lagos by
scoring 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average CGPA) did not
wake up one morning to score those straight As. We are
told that his UTME score was so high that his result was
withheld. Consequently, he had to go through diploma
course. Which of these so-called First Class students from
our private universities scored equivalent of straight As in
their secondary school exams, and which of them scored
anything close to 280 in their UTME? I doubt the honest
ability of our private universities to transmogrify ordinary
students with ordinary SSCE and banal UTME results into
overnight intellectual superstars.

OneManLegion:


Let's imagine that the story's true, how does that story make private universities better or even attain peership with their federal counterparts? Did your cousin tell a private uni lecturer that same thing and was met with a warm and positive response?

Lesson: Just because your school your school doesn't have doesn't mean most federal schools don't and it certainly doesn't mean a private uni does.

Nusaf:

Pls, a word that describe something or someone is called an adjective not proper noun. Even when used in that sense, it is still spelt with initial capital. For instance 'he is an English' 'not he is an english'. Meanwhile, u used the word in the sense of a language and the names of languages are proper nouns

Draxler:

They rank websites based on certain criteria influenced by the quality of the school. They do not just rank the websites for their beauty. That's all we are saying

I'll respond to your claims on webometrics in your other "mention".

No, no Unilorin student, to the best of my knowledge, has invented a car. The only person that "invented" a car was Henry Ford. One can only invent something once and that person becomes the pioneer.

Btw, a student of BUK(Bayero University, Kano) designed and constructed a helicopter several years ago. You can wake me up when covenant university comes close.

Draxler:

Its he is English not 'he is an English' . Well we all learn everyday and I'm glad you taught me this.

Draxler:

Yes you are right. Only Henry Ford actually invented a car. I meant constructed a car then. I thought we were talking about CU and Unilorin not Bayero university. Anyway my point has been made. Its a quality school comparable to anything in the country.

OneManLegion:


Arrgh! Webometrics do their rankings based on the websites and websites alone!!

Please, do research on what webometrics is about you're mixing things up.


Btw, this webometrics you keep harping on, is a private school ranked highest in their list?

OneManLegion:


"He is an English" is very correct too. It's like saying "He is a Nigerian" or "He is a ghanaian".

Hehe. Don't you just love federal schools students and graduates?
