Major0303:
So tell me the best University

mat2d6boi:
hello my fellas in the room, pls don't be misinformed by a fellow who is judging this university(OAU) on sentiment, it may be that he has some complicated issues during his time in the university caused by himself or the management. Dis is because I can't even figure out how a person proudly graduated from the uni then finally come out to blacklist, defame and tarnish the image of his university. then what should he be proud of if he can sit down to make a 'itchy' write up like this about his alma mater to the world; I don't think that is sensible or realistic. please my fellas, room members let's all judge with clarity and lucidity and steer clear of unnecessary .......
for me , to be sincere , I know that currently OAU is not the best uni in 9ja due to some challenges faced by her but I want you to know that OAU have been rated the best university so many times. Also, it's normal for things to fluctuate and I see the little fall of OAU as due to the competition of other universities which OAU hasn't realised. but....am very sure dat dis OAU I know will get back to its first position, i believe.

MrAwePresident:


You brought yourself into my thread
I didn't force nor invite you here.

BTW you're an adult .. Respect and remember your age and religion before you use vulgar words especially online.

chiwuike20:
Oau graduates are not employable. This fact stands out. Check for Oau graduates in any institution and you will come up with personal data. It will be difficult to deny data compiled yourself

MrAwePresident:


Bruh... Should I send you my Certificate...

Y'all should just point to the lies in his fact! I think this nigger is actually saying the truth.

They can't
None of them have said anything constructive in my opinion

They can't even construct sentences without using vulgar words.... That's because they are letting their emotions get the best of them.

I am in no way offended.. Because this just proves my point about the type of graduates OAU is producing in recent years

sexyellency:
Unilowhat? I guess presently u or ur younger ones are presently chasing unilorin. you better pray harder to get the admission on a platter of gold.

Actually I'm starting to believe the op. As you're a stereotypical oau student trained to rain curses on other fellows. But because my institution include character in its learning, I'll just let you go. #probitasdoctrina.

mat2d6boi:
bro, it pains me that you are one of those the man has fooled anyways I think he can only decieve the gullibles like you. and in your life, you and your captivator, mr awe should never ever tag OAU as such -being violent. we are peace makers but fight for our right rather than those who are cheated and still keep mute till they are finished. take to my warning!

my bro, you don't need to curse him, you should know he is under a spell already with the way he is behaving. may you recover, mr awe president

I replied you with enough facts but you chose not to acknowledge them. I don't blame you for however you feel about OAU, but I remain proud of the school. I have worked with hundreds of grads from schools in Naija and abroad, almost everyone has one complaint or the other. No institution is perfect. By why you will wake up and decide to write this post because someone hyped the school is beyond me. Why not hype your school instead?

And for you saying none of the ife grads that have responded has said anything constructive is insulting to say the least. It speaks volumes about your character and personality.

MrAwePresident:




Others are making points that it's a generic problem. I fully understand, but let's stop being proud of being the best local champion and think of ways we can become the Best internationally recognized university.

We are too satisfied with mediocrity
It even hurts me more to see the way people are aggressively defending mediocrity with this "at least I better pass my neighbor " mentality.


The measure of greatness should be in seen in their applications of research works in improving the life of Nigerians.

After oga was called out, he started fidgeting and shifting the goal post.

I thought you said the school isn't the best in Nigeria. After your sensationalised topic heading, one would have thought you'd have the guts to stick to your mud slinging ase o tie le. You're not tough.

You should understand that the onus of moral burden lies heavily upon he who chooses to critique. No one expects objectivity from praise givers students. They would keep hailing their school. I'd probably open a thread to better deal with this issue when I have the time.

Till then.

@justawesome, you're a dyed-in-the-wool mumu(sorry 4 that) because you didn't comprehend with what the whole discussion is all about before you write your post, next time access what's on ground well before you contribute.

While I still try to figure out the essence of this post from the OPs viewpoint I need to state these few points, i would implore my readers to note that i graduated from OAU 15years ago...

1. The OP is right in some instances and wrong in others. The point about the Halls of residence is 150% true. If it was true as at 15 years ago, I know it would be even more true today.

2. The pre eminence of strikes and Alutas in resolving simple issues is alarming, but my best memories are spread across these events.

3. On graduates fresh or no fresh having a good chance out there... I would say it depends on the person. I worked in 3 organisations and became the functional Head of my role in one of Nigeria's leading conglomerates and OAU grads made up the largest chunk of the workforce of all places I worked in.

4. The Ife solidarity is unrivalled anywhere I have ever been eveb outside the shores of Nigeria. From my NYSC days from Obubra camp, Cross River state I knew I was in good company, there were 1,456 corps members and only 42 from Ife. Through solidarity, we all got good placements for POP and had 5 awardees on passing out parade day.

5. Every institution has their traditions, norms and processes that are peculiar and unique to them. Ife computes it CGPA differently from other schools. It should be noted that during the freshman orientation course, everything that need to be known is explained to jambites and there are course advisers allocated to all fresh students to break things down for anyone who wants more information. Computing an F or otherwise has a direct impact on your CGPA, True! But its OAU's tradition to do that and if you decide on the school take that fact.

6. OAU is large, yes! But there are buses who go from the Mozambique/Angola/Awo Extension to SUB enroute road 1 to town and motor bikes who can take you almost anywhere except staff quarters. Its not a medieval campus where all you do is trek and walk. Choosing to walk to lectures isn't the school's making. Therefore the OP is wrong to paint a picture of tiredness in lecture halls... Haba! Fear God. Lack of facilities and amenities affect all Nigerian universities. Even private universities where parents pay through their noses aren't left out. So cut out the criticism here. Inadequate funding is the bane of the Nigerian Educational sector.

7. OAU is beautiful! Well, maybe the structures around academics and the beautifully lit streets but beauty lies in the eye of the looker. I have seen more beautiful schools... However not in naija. I feel the OAU management needs to do more to preserve the legacy of the southwest's cocoa era. Also, OAU needs at least 7 more halls of residence. It doesn't require rocket science knowledge. An involvement of the private sector where halls can be built as investment vehicles should be welcome. As a member of my faculty alumni council, I have made more visits to the school since graduation than most of my mates and I must tell my readers that I appreciate the school more now than when I was a student. I have a ward now in UI and I must confess that I regret not having her in OAU. Not because UI is not equally good, but just because of the sentiments.

As a father, I would not want my kids having their university education here in Naija because our degrees mean next to nothing outside of our shores. But if push comes to shove, my kids know that they have only one choice of University here and its OAU. I would stop for now. Reactions are welcome. However dear OP, your views are respected but I dare say aren't a full representation of what obtains. God bless you.

Pardon the typos if any.

MrAwePresident:


I have not completely changed my stance.. I only opened my mind to embrace and respect the opinions of the objective posters.

But I doubt you understand anything about that. Probably because you have never been in a position of leadership

And please indulge me
Which school is best in Nigeria, in your opinion?
