agabaI23: It is not necessary. Is it? The point of the positions I gave is to tell you that your University comes behind those that participated and were still defeated by the lowly ranked UNIZIK. The fact that they are lowly ranked makes the victory more special to those concerned. Serious KNOCK OUT.  Oya @Tolexander, reply na 1 Like |

It is so funny and sad the way we react to issues. A Nigerian university wins an award and some others are trying to trivialize it by saying that better schools did not participate in the competition. Some posters have even gone to the extent of tribalising the issue. Unfortunately this is the mindset most Nigerians put up in most situation. When somebody does well we play it down solely because he is not from our tribe or part of the country. When a citizen gets involved in a criminal activity; his kinsmen comes to his defense no matter the gravity of the crime or offense committed. We should grow up and live above this primordial sentiments. When a School does well whether it is Kebbi State University, Lagos state University, kano State University, UNILAG, UNN, OAU, ABU, we should all collectively celebrate it. No matter what it is we should celebrate with the school. 2 Likes |

bestview:I totally agree with u. If this test was conducted in Nigeria the result might come thus: first: OAU second: UNILAG third: UNILORIN fourth: UNIBEN fifth: IBADAN sixth: UNIZIK This is based on the simple response frm some nairalanders which represents the opinion of certain region in Naija. Thats the problem with the Nigerian society, CORRUPTION AND TRIBALISM. |

Congratulations to Unizik! Worthy of note is the fact that FUTA emerged the winner of the Southern African Zone (preliminary round to the African Final) a day before and lead Unizik and others in qualifying for the final by 4%. It was not surprising to see many Uni present impressed with the showing; some promising to raise the bar like FUTA in subsequent years. Many were surprised to see Unizik carry then day having came in second with a difference of over 4% to FUTA just some hours before then. The final results read Unizik 79.33% Helwan Uni Egypt 78.87%. FUTA 78.33% Uni du Tunis 4th Unilag 5th. 1% difference between the first 3 looks more like abracadabra and the competition felt more like a selection thereafter cos Unizik were unable to do justice to the questions the panel raised while their closest rival managed to put up some impressive showing in that division and other glitches in the course of their presentation. IBA is a laudable program which should be encouraged but the competition has to be standardised.....a situation where one of the organiser were telling one of the competing schools (FUTA) "sebi u have won it b4 now, let another win" before the winner emerge leaves one with a bad taste; let alone the fact that Unizik was allegedly lead by a high powered team lead by their VC's wife whose daughter stayed till the end of the program. If the organiser get to read this, I will like them to know that they need to take the competition to the next level, first by doing accreditation where competing schools will send in their list of presenters before the programme with their curriculum vitae which can be vetted before and during the competition. This is necessary to prevent situations whereby school present a mixed team of undergraduate and post graduate for a competition that is solely for Petroleum Geoscience post graduate only; such anomaly was reported within the Unizik camp though unofficially. Another thing worthy of note is the composition of the panel; it will be better if each zone in Africa is represented on the panel unlike this year where all were Nigerian except for the 2 expatriates. I hope you won't see this as the ranting of an ant.....take the plus and see how you can find a way around the minus......you are doing a great job......IBA forever! |
