The testimonies from the likes of OAU and ABU are shocking. They both have no business being on this list

Stop that nonsense, there are no universities in Nigeria, what we call university here is nothing but a big joke.
Travel abroad if you really want to go to school, but if you don't have the funds, then start a business. Don't spend 5years of your life in one dirty place with old and outdated syllabus and tons of hungry old fools called lecturers threatening and forcefully demanding money or sex from you.
