Seyixyz: BIG FAT LIES..We hav consistently remained in d top 5 for ages..I wil excuse ur ignorance..Say thank u..Proudly an ABU Alumni

lol, dude yur First Name must be Joseph, becos yu r such a dreamer.
I cannot recall when last ABU appaired within the 1st 7 in our national ranking. OAU, UNIBEN, UI, UNIILLORIN, UNILAG always run the top 5 positions for ah very long while nw.
If yu finally leave skul 2maro, na d fine fine structures wan help yu compete for labour market??
Though, anytime anyday i will stil envy the structures in ABU Zaria, they are so so beautiful.
NB: na for Kaduna state dem born nd raise me, i dey always visit ABU 24'7, most of my pals dey there.
I always seek the best at all tymz, plus fun though, thatz y i jeje go for UNIBEN, truely d BEST.

hadizadeezy: my broda am a northernern bt grew up in the south,west precisely pls bliv me dia is nting in u.i......no personal beef ooo, jst teln u

Honestly if i were you, i will just log out and start viewing as a guest or stop replyiing posts. You are just displaying your ignorance on a public forum of over 1 million members smh. How can you say there is nothing in U.I? Like seriously I doubt if you've ever travelled outside North like you claimed. Wawa kawai

misterh: just so we're clear, i respect people equally. Even if you are not from one of the heavyweights varsities, what matters is your individual intellect and your being smart. The school just polishes your intellect and potential.

All I'm saying!!! Point is, no disrespect to lecturers and all concerned, most those technocrats became what they are as a result of individual brilliance, efforts and dedication to a path. All they do is chart you through a course.... Shey dem want teach me to play football for class? But should I become successful in football tomorrow, people will shout he was my student!

asala1:
Just mention one. I know Prof. A. Nok of Biochemistry A.B.U. Zaria.

Dat man is a genius...carried out my project in his world class biotech lab last year..discovered d cure for trypanosomiasis....

misterh: and please remind me the last time you overtook OAU in ranking. Alumni is plural, sir! Say thank you! The proper word is alumnus. Well, i'll excuse your ignorance.

What's in a ranking though?

What a thread! It's hot in here mehn!

ABU is beautiful no doubt. There's no way you'll enter the school without falling in love with it. The first time my eyes saw the Basketball court in the sport complex i was amazed, the court was simply magnificent. What i love most about the school is its neatness.
I can't argue wether or nt it's better than OAU in terms of beauty cos i've never been to OAU, but one thing is for sure, there are few schools you can compare to ABU in that respect.

O BOY SEE SKUL........UNICAL STILL DEY LAG BEHIND ABEG

hahahahahahaha**can you pls jst sshhhh!!!!!!!like dnt knw wat u are doin here***u ar as local as a gosh!

These are very beautiful pictures but honestly ABU doesnt look as good as it appears on pictures. Although the school can boast of good structures, but as it is in the Nigeria public sectors, they lack adequate maintenance.

Well, that's debatable. That a Nigerian uni is ranked above another does not justify that she churns out more employable graduate than the one below(I stand to b corrected, but shey the rankings in 9ja are done based on how much computerised a uni has gone?). History, influence and wealth makes a University prestigious.... And on such grounds, I doubt any uni beats ABU in Nigeria. You'l be amazed the number of abusites in both public and private sector of the Nigerian Economy, more so, the powers they wield.

The University of Nigeria since her inception in 1960 has
continued to produce movers of the Nigerian society and

Where is Dr. Harrison? One of his students became a Prof and head of the dept. while he was still lecturing there.

Derailers and trolls won't even let us enjoy ths thread for what it is ehen.seeing all these pictures brings back memories.I personnally didn't get to see the basketball court. #Proudly Abusite

Olugbenger:
The powerful alumni doesn't add up to the fact that ABU still lags behind UI, OAU, UNN, UNILAG and even UNIBEN in educational standards.
You know how backward and slow in growth the north is( where ABU is located) and ABU is the only school in the same league with others i mentioned though with variations respresenting a zone as large as the north where the political power has been evolving for years. I hope that explains the alumni strength. ABU is a nice school too but don't push your stakes too far.

Typical short-circuited brain thinking!
