MisterLongman:
It so funny when I see people creates threads on top ten university this and top ten university that on NL based on Opinion and not investigation. The funniest part is that some posters (^^^just like the one above) will want to kill themselves because another school was ranked above theirs on an unverified list

check the poster above you and read his post again

MisterLongman:

Modify please

Giving you an assignment. Open new tab. Go to linkedin. In search bar type "Covenant University" + "insert any top graduate company or graduate school". Do same with Ilorin, ABU or UNN.

After you compare and contrast, come and delete your comment on Nairaland.

OP, when creating threads as these, please be sure to make it explicit that it's your opinion you're expressing, and not something that is factual and proven beyond any reasonable doubt, to avoid coming off as being myopic. I won't even start to point out the very many levels on which I disagree with some of the schools you put up there, but then that's just my own opinion. Nonetheless, well done.

The OP outlines criteria used and even states a caveat. I guess that takes care of everything else.

If you had taken the time to observe the comments above where the OP was quoted, you would have easily seen that the caveat was inserted after my comment was made, which I commend the OP for as I believe the addition was necessitated by the observation made in my contribution. It does indeed take care of a lot of things.

Honestly I don't understand what this topic is all about.

1. ABU Zaria
2. Unilag
3. FUTA
4. FUTY(now Modibbo Adama)
5. UNN

9. UNILORIN
10. FUT MINNA
11. Others follow

At the rate at which people are creating lists like they wanna get listed, the NSE may not be enough o!

I can see many folks whining up there, feeling cheated because their schools are not on the list. Really?

Why should any one be bothered over such things? Abeg if it pains you too much, Fine, create your own list and name your Uni/Alma mater as No1-10. No one will kill you.
