What do you think of this list?
Oba Awon University!!!
proudly Oba (gbogbo) Awon Universities, OAU!!! We rep 9ja!!!
I rep funaab
Not correct at all,proudly Abusite
4get dat tin. ABU no follo again. Dont get twisted am an abusite too bt d truth b told, abu no follo again.
I dont believe in this list! Bcos i can remember last 3years Nigeria was trying to collaborate with world bank in upgrading the educational standard to world limit! Which was said to be non of the Nigerian university is graded to world standard! With this i strongly believe this list is nothing but crap
I rep d better by far in 9ja university; unilorin…better by far.
Your achievement matter most………Ranking is nothing…but your intellectual.
Joor o my school came first uni of south africa (unisa) its nt easy but its d best.best school for distant learning
What about the product of your sch
south africa tops the list yet low in education. it is research report and they base their measurement on online populaity of those educational institutions. not on quality of education if on quality you think of UNN.
Whatever it is, the ranking is actually a signal and wake-up call to Nigerian Universities. No nation can grow above its levels of education. Thus, there is a corrolation between the ranking of Universities in South Africa and Egypt, and their level of development.
Yea bt all does dat av first class r still seekin for job.my dear ranking matters.there r som certificate u will tender ad u will b kept on d awaitin list
Actually I disagree bt mayb wen naija opens a distant learning uni I will.uni of south africa deals with matured minds.dey make u do things u won’t imagine uorself doing.been a student of dat skul as tot m a lot.imagine asuu just called of strike daz rubbish.skuling in nigeria is rubbish waz d essence of going to skul ad still end up wit no job
This is just a clear piece of thrash ………………….
I can‘t imagine that the first University in Africa can ever be placed 10th position on the list (University of Alexandra in Egypt). I do not believe the authencity of this list. I rep University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria; the First & the Best amongst the equal in Naija.
Dis is total nonsense.. I dnt believe dat useless, crappy list at all..
I don’t believe this rank convant university among best universities in african??????? I rep kwara state university nigeria
What are the criteria for such a ranking? Does it consider their ability and measures to sustain development? Does it consider the level of infrastructure these universities have not to talk of the quality of their Faculty? If it does, American University of Nigeria should not just be on the list but be close to the top.
Rubbish! How can any cconscious individual rank covenant university 87th imagine.
pls show us the ranking base on quality of education
Covenant university?LMAO!!!!!well,I wasn’t even expecting 2 see my school on the list
who posted dis asshole shits hw can unilag be in that position as far as am concerned my unilag is suppose to make the 2nd or if possible 1st position
$$fucks..
Fake. I rep usman danfodiyo university sokoto (UDUS) the most peaceful university in Africa
What are the basis of the list. Now universities are rated base on their research findings.
Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaat IFE !!!!!!!! Oba Awon University.
Uhmmmmmmmm, if its true dat we fell in rank 10, then its a Bigger PITY.
Lets all work n better in all angles

South African university graduates are confirmed Olodo. even some of them with PhD don’t know anything. come and see their yeye in Yankee. A friend said they are like that too in uk
Actually,this could be the fact but oau should be among top five,intimes of qualities and products i think they have higher rank.obviouslly,nigerian students are not to compare with other countries in africa infact,most brilliant i tell you but we suffer equipments.go to all this schools on d list most especially south~africa you will confess with their possesion.our government should do something if at all they are much concerned about the rankings. I rep 9ja
