The only way 4 dat list to be complete is to exclude Unilag fom that list..Geoscience dept @ Unilag is a write off,Only few lectures are active..Infact just one in Geophysics(Ayolabi)..Jambites if u really want 2 do geoscieces ..Run away from unilag like a plague..dey will only take ur money and adds no knowledge

jamex93:
that list is not complete with out ABU
abi op don 4get about ABU ni

e supose b number 1 self

Why not say, 'i'm a metamorphosed granite of the basement complex.. My heritage is gneissic

Lol...No oo. I prefer older granites. I don't like change .

I don't understand what OP means by saying geology is very lucrative in Nigeria.. Spare the bullsh*t please. Different geology graduates came here to express how disappointed they were after graduating, and yet you guys think they are unlucky. Ok, make i share my own experience. Both naija and international.
I graduated with a good result in geology in the year 2010, did NYSC, 2 years later i'm still searching.. Ok.. Brain don dey hybernate.. Before e shut down finish make i use am again, next thing i'm in Germany for my Masters. Now here's the thing, when i got here i saw how nigerian masters graduates are being recruited from europe to work in nigeria. Yes! You think you guys are really studying geology in Nigeria? With those 17th century books and curriculum? Maybe we know the theory, practical? Nah.
But the sad thing is geology is not as lucrative as people think it is. How many geologys does the oil industry need? Compared to engineers. Sectors where they can work are very limited. You have to look for a country with oil, good immigration possibilities, and you must have an excellent masters level result! First class i mean. Now, out of 100 geology graduates, maybe 5 can find their way into the oil industry, which is the most lucrative sector for geologists, based on that statistics, i wont consider it a very good option. 5% of 100 is fail. Even 10 is fail. 30% is still a fail. Here in Germany, with an engineering, medical, business or economics degree etc, you are certain to get a job even before graduation sef. Geology nko? Well, you're not exactly needed that much. This is just my opinion though, not necessarily meant to be accepted.

Dr. Smart Obiora is very intelligent, stubborn and a legendary puss-y hound...ehn like woman pass air.

What is UNN doing on that list when they can't boost of 3 sound Professors. All they have is Amobi, Mode, Ugwu that can't even define Geology in their own words..bunch o lunatics

Why only petroleum, solid minerals nko? Some don't even know what a gemstone looks like. We need to diversify this oil oil, is saturated

Timcy2:
dat is the course, i intend on studying, but d wand of good fate has not bin smiling at me. my mate will b graduating next year, and am still searching 4 university. So so depressed.

Life is not a competition about who finishes first or who comes last, Bro. Everyone got a story of how life tried fvcking them up but you got to brace yourself and be happy. Abeg stop getting depressed and be happy... as you hope for the best.

butanep:
Geology/ Geophysic is a hot cake now in Nigeria especially in the petroleum sector. The most important thing about the course(s) is its diversification. With the increasing demand of oil and the exploration of new oil wells, search of underground water in complex terrain, building of dams and bridges, just to mention a few, geology/ geophysics will still remain relevant even till the next century.

Graduate with a good result in the field will always smile to the bank when employed in any of the oil sector or construction firm or hydrological ministries/firms.

They are only few universities in Nigeria that can boast of good geology department with sound theoretical, practical and field knowledge.

Here are list of universities that give the best in geology and can also boast of sound and competent geologist both home and abroad.


1 Obafemi Awolowo University ( OAU)




2 University OF Ibadan




3 University OF Jos (UNIJOS)




4 University OF Benin ( UNIBEN)



5 University Of Nigeria Nsuka



6 University Of Maidiguri ( UNIMAD)



7 Federal University Of Technology Akure (FUTA)



8 Federal University Of Technology Owerri (FUTO)



9 Federal University Of Technology Mina.




10 University Of Portharcort ( UNIPORT)


11 University Of Ilorin ( UNIlORIN)




12 Delta State University Abraka



13 University Of Calabar. (UNICAL)



14 Federal University Of petroleum Resources (FUPRE )


15 Ajayi Crowther university Oyo.


So if you intend to study geology or geophysic, you need to consider any of the listed university. They are the best in the field of Geoscience.


Cc lalasticlala

op don't be mad, you called my school UNIMAD, it is UNIMAID.the best conventional university.

Emulti:


So which of d oil companies do u work now?

I'm a mineral explorationist. I work with national steel raw materials exploration agency.

fellow geologist,does anyone have a terrameter or resistivity meter for sale? Or can you direct me to someone that imports the equipment? My number is 08038302420

Bulshit list.

Where were all these so called good universities when Unizik won the IBA (Imperial Barel award) which is a test on petroleum geology in the whole african university and represented Africa in America.
As if that was not enough the year after that year, they came 2nd in Africa and first in Nigeria.

Am not surprise, Nigerian influenced list is always based on past glory and biass attitude.

Nice information in bad concept.

When you come to the field of Geology and you dont include Nnamdi Azikiwe University, then your list is bulshit

Am a delsuite too na... Am .a Botanist... Support me na....u .be my senior oo

Representing Delsu. If u are a fresher and u are coming to Delsu, u must study hard. If not, u will turn to medical geologist. 8yrs no graduation

No state university is recommended for anyone i know. No offense intended.

adakoleagbenu:
Proud to have finished from Unijos. Best of the best. B.Sc(Hons) Geology and Mining....... Everyone knows that even the geologic setting of Plateau State favours it,with the rocks,high altitude and all... Ours is the best in the country,with seasoned persons like Prof Ogezi,Prof Ashano.etc

Ok
so wats sup wit job??

Freemanan:
GREAT DELSUITES! GREAT BRAINS..

THO MY FOLKS IN GEOLOGY ALWAYS COMPLAINS AND EXTENSION IS THEIR WATCHWORD

ALWAYS COMPLAINS
too bad if u tot u were right

My younger brother was one of the best graduating student from uniben in his set, with a sharp 2:1, he has a masters, a pgd, he has even been accepted for his PhD all in uniben, yet no job.

Abeg make Una help, those that can. Is there something he isn't doing correctly? E don dey turn stories that touch o.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
I hope u are enjoying ur mid-semester break. Just pray it doesn't turn into a long vacation

No. I'm a super lion. Left UNN 10 years ago.

Menh dats nonsense u can't talk Geology in Nigeria without mentioning Anambra State University (Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University)

Luckygurl:


Huh!! Geology department under faculty of phyisical sciences in jimbazz building??

I fear this your post oo

In my time that's where it was. Left 10 years ago.

Most likely information gap. Is he just sitting down in Benin? What has he been doing? Where has he applied to? Has he been invited for test somewhere before? Did he pass?

rocasmilatos:
Dr. Obiora is stil waxin strong,.Dr. Obi is nw a prof in Uli

yes obi dey Uli. which set are u at unn

favouryemmy:
Studying for a Master degree in the department of Geology, FUTA take you several years though.

You can say that again

lonelydora:

Oh! Much respect to the super lion in the house
Alot has changed then cos the department is now located somewhere behind Abuja building.

Hope things are going on fine and you're showing them the stuff you're made of?
