cooldipo: 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!

Where did you get all these crap? Well yet another crap and scab from another amala infested from the rural state of oshun.

Tell your SW unis to study sciences instead of devoting time in juju and water goddess studies in there unis.

Honestly, you will be celebrating like Burkina Faso in the last edition of the nations' cup football tournament.

Bros, it's now in record - for 2013 competition, UNIZIK is the winner in the whole of Africa! Whether OAU participated or Not, it doesnt matter.
But also learn how to celebrate with winners (who are not your enemies) because victory is infectious.

true2god: 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.

Shameful! Just because it's SE university or what else? Why hate like this?

Dont worry so much. Learn from the big football matches, it is not always the highly rated that wins. UNIZIK is a silent thunder which have not been known so much outside SE until recently but even now in the whole of Africa.Their Geoscience department is good and the graduates are equally doing well in oil & gas sector. It's turn by turn, BROS. Next year it could be another university depending on how they compete and their resource persons.

That is not true sir! Esut didn't do quite as well as we all know they are capable of. They didn't come close to the first 3 Uni that qualified from Nigeria. Big ups to the guy from Esut as they put up a strong showing despite their many challenges. Truth is sacrosanct!

@ Tolexander, Given your antecedents here, I am not surprised that you have resorted to insults. You seem very confident. I think you should bolster your confidence by checking a dictionary.

Please take a look at the bolded in your post. It is another grammatically wrong statement. The correct syntax is: people in this modern world that do not.

D issue is clear that Major federal Universities were established in d south,and even then Ibos were studying there and producing a lot of excellent students who were never mentioned but credit will go τ̲̅ȍ d school.But whenever a yoruba student excels,d name will be mentioned becos of the tribalistic nature of d system.And don't be suprised ‎​dat oau didn't compete for dis great award becos d students τ̲̅ȍ represent them were Ibos(Awo Politics).
But since d establishment of Eastern Universities,Ibos have been given a a true platform τ̲̅ȍ showcase such talents. now we go tru our own system of education.My younger sister back then in oau was denied a scholarship she passed very well while d yoruba students she beat were all honored with d scholarship,but glory be τ̲̅ȍ God she got an American scholarship and left d Gawddanm oau while I was being trained as a Giant in Unizik!!

Quit talkin as if u live in the UK. Are u not a Nigerian? Do u knw that most of the UNIZIK students dat made Nigeria proud would have all failed pricewaterhouse coopers executive trainees exams while their counterpert frm UNILAG would be sucessful (if the test is conducted by Nigerians)?

Stop talking as if u live in Vatican city and be truthful to ur self for once. The country is corrupt and we need a paradign shift to move forward.

Quit the GANJA you're on, it impairs the the brain...

What concerns me with PWC's trainee program?

Does it occur to you that some schools are good/better than others in a particular field than others...like some are better in Engineering while some are excellent for business? In that same Engineering, some do way better than the others?

For instance, in a business exam, Harvard Graduates are more likely to do better MIT grads, but in an Engineering standpoint, MIT takes the cake. In same Engineering, if you want Aerospace Engineering, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) takes the cake before MIT, did u know that?

My point, every school has their niche, so avoid this silly comparison. In other words, UNIZIK may be indeed better than all other schools in GEO-Sciences, as compared to other schools. It doesn't mean that UNIZIK is better in business courses. Get the difference. As for your Vatican illusion plus the corruption part, I really have no clue where you're driving at, if you're alluding to that UNIZIK bought their way to the award, you need some reality check.

I have a question. What was ESUT doing there? Were they expecting that they could win in the presence of UNIZIK, UNILAG, FUTA, etc or were they expecting magic?
Just to satisfy my curiosity.
Re: UNIZIK Wins Geo-sciences Competition Among African Universities by agabaI23(m): 11:31pm On Mar 28, 2013
The lady you call VCs wife is actually the VCs daughter who trained in Scotland. The team was lead by two lecturers Dr. Ben Odo a trailblazer who completed his PhD in two years and the lady you misidentified. Don't you think that using two undergrads in a competition meant for postgrads should be a disadvantage to the team? If you were trying to puncture their victory, that wouldn't be a good point that again lends credence to the quality of their undergrad curriculum. Don't forget that the VC is a hydrologist and would naturally strengthen his constituency.
cooldipo: Congratulations to Unizik!

so also we are expecting your result spread when you come back from USA to compete with the rest of the world.
