kelvin1191: U are right. Some of our young men & women are going there cos they want to see how it looks outside Naija.

bolaji73: 2me d crazy rush 2 ghanian universities involves...(1)lazy student wu re scared of our hectic screening process(jamb n p.jamb) ....(2) incessant strike engage by our university teachers...any oda factor aside frm dis 2,na big LIE.

tsleazy: nice point there, the reason people run to Ghana is because they cant make it into Nigeria schools...talkless of the fact that Ghanian schools are more expensive

ellyrichy: How the you just type what I was thinking. Nice though

onyinye03: This "webmetrics" thing is not about facilities or the standard of education... It simply refers to the internet traffic on the site of the school... How many times the school's site is opened, its presence on the web.... Let's not get carried away.....

Baba419: Its all about your mentality, If only you could see the dedication these ghanaians bring to the table, apart from that yes nigerians are sharp but the student with the ghanaian tertiary training can fit in and adapt to the international stage more easily. Easy equation [smaller country+smaller schools+more student to teacher contact=more sense -strike-sexformark-cultism-boko haram] hope you know your BODMAS?

Olugbenger:
stop being silly.
read the guidelines for webometrics well, only ignorant folks keep saying what you claim. Now consider another ranking done by 4cui, the list is very similar.

tsleazy: exactly !!! Noone is dumb enough to use schools online popularity as the main criteria when it comes to rankings.

Olugbenger:
Help me tell these nitwits oh
so 4icu and webometrics are the same?

Olugbenger: Justification and objectives of the
Ranking
The Webometrics University Ranking is a
ranking system based on university web
presence, visibility and web access. [2]
This ranking system measures how
strongly a university is present in the web
by its own web domain, sub-pages, rich
files, scholarly articles etc. [2] The central
hypothesis of this approach is that web
presence is a reliable indicator of the
global performance and prestige of the
universities and as such, is an indirect way
to measure all the university missions
(teaching, research, transfer). Although
the Web is universally recognized as one
of the most relevant tools for scholarly
communication, it is still very rare these
indicators are used for the evaluation of
the scientific research and the academic
performance of universities. Webometric
indicators are provided to show the
commitment of the institutions to Web
publication.
A research paper in the peer-reviewed
scientific journal Scientometrics found
"reasonable similarities" between the
Webometrics rankings and other
prominent university rankings despite
using a very different set of features to
determine each university's rank. These
similarities were increased when the
comparison was limited solely to
European universities. [3]
Top universities are publishing millions of
pages produced by dozens of
departments and services, hundreds of
research teams and thousands of
scholars. Strong web presence informs of
a wide variety of factors that are clearly
correlated with the global quality of the
institution: Widespread availability of
computer resources available, global
internet literacy, policies promoting
democracy and freedom of speech,
competition for international visibility or
support of open access initiatives, among
others.

Even if you refuse to accept or comprehend this fact too, ask yourself why are the best universities in the world rank top too as they deserve. It is only when our own (Nigerian) universities come up top we complain about the criteria used in ranking.

Appliedmaths.:
And the lazy old-school lecturers who suppose the be busy conducting meaningful research and boosting the image of our universities positively are stupidly comparing their salaries with that of the politicians. Did anyone force them at gun point to become lecturers?. When it comes to money they rant and shout like stray dogs and paint the FG black, but the same people are full of all sort of mischief (bribery, female students sex scandal, cultisim, attending classes whenever they feel like, exam malpractice etc).

NB: I'm not in support of the FG either cause that one na national issue.
