For a university to be sought after, competitive or desirable, it must have nothing less than 40,000 applicants and above and the allotted admission capacity will only give 30% or 35% the possibility of securing Admission.

I agree with your list. Not surprising though, these are also the best and relatively most affordable.

I did not choose any of those for my first degree, believe me if i had to write JAMB all over again, I still won't choose any of them. I chose No.4 for one of my Masters program and I almost lost all the head knowledge i acquired from my first degree days.

The great ones are silently impacting, the old ones are living in past glory.

Private University zombie spotted. After everything you still went ahead and graduated from the "no. 4" university you attended.

I am supposed to respond to this I guess. Well, yes I graduated with a masters degree from the no. 4 university but all I have to show for it is the degree that wasn't worth the time I wasted there other than perhaps the piece of paper I am carrying. I should have pursued a doctorate but realized one of two things could happen. I will either come out with a worthless Ph. d or waste about 8 years of my life and get frustrated out. Either way, I refuse to get sucked into academic mediocrity. For the records, I wrote JAMB and got admitted on merit to another federal university other than the ones touted by the op. At the point of equalization, I distinguished myself and the university of my first degree. Amazing how someone could rationalize that other than the universities mentioned up there, the remaining unis are private. Google exists for a purpose.

Your subtle beef with op (for not mentioning your uni) and with the mentioned unis (for not been your alma mater) is your own problem. It does not affect the unis mentioned.

Downplaying unilag won't make your almamater shine brighter. And yes, you sound like one of those private uni zombies.....lucky you are not.

Thank you Mr. Past glory. They still manage to produce some of the world's competent graduates despite challenges they face. Go and produce your own.

Uncle hater, now tell me how your own University had helped Nigeria in terms of 'practicals'. How many great awards your own has won. How many great things your own has produced.

Leave these universities alone.
It is only when one knows of the great quality something has that one tries to compare and badmouth it.

I believe you NEVER passed through the universities above.
why badmouth them? is it because your alma mater was not mentioned?

If they are living on past glories, do you think one of them would have been proclaimed as one of the best in the whole world? Or is 'past glory' a criteria for selection?

Whether you like it or not, these universities are very good.
Stop being jealous. Even polytechnics are lacking in infrastructure.
