NeuroBoss: I'm a 2011 graduate of the Better by Far university. The vexation of the Unilorin haters is understandable. I used to hate Lionel Messi when C. Ronaldo was in Man Utd just because the former plays for a rival team when it is all glaring Messi is the naturally most gifted.
Without mincing facts, since 2002, Unilorin held the ace of leadership in Nigerian universities due to the firm legacies and structures of its last two Vice-chancellors.


THEIR GROUSE AGAINST US:
That Unilorin has been in operation 24-7-365 is a banal truth.
That Unilorin is the only Nigerian university where students don't get harrassed by lecturers is also known
That Unilorin pioneered the CBT system of examination and a model to others in ICT is also incontestable. This was done initially to curtail incidences of missing results which is inevitable where more than 500 students offer a course before other things were factored in.
Unilorin has the best e-registration platform.
That Unilorin students don't do Aluta so are presumed subjugated. Pray, where do sane people raise placards against a progressive, student-friendly yet assertive leadership.
That Unilorin happens to be in a Muslim enclave? Hell, I'm a Christian and Ilorin is not Pakistan. Nigerians of every tribe, creed and religion are in the school as students and staff to show its federal structure.

WHO HATES UNILORIN?
These people are in different categories. The first in these categories and infact the most bitter are the unfortunate former students who got expelled due to misconducts (yes, unilorin takes no shit), withdrawn due to overly low academic performance. We call them "Face Tanke".
People in the second categories were unsuccessful jambites and remedial students who tried many times to be initiated into "Better by Far" but were not that lucky and have since allowed bitterness to turn to perennial hatred and jealousy concocting various lies such as tribalism, religion and state of origin as reasons for their woes.
The third are just the pathetic students and graduates of other schools who can't just stand us reel out the uniqueness of our Alma mater in glowing terms. They say, "we too dey make mouth". Why we no go make mouth?
When we start something, they copy it.
In 2008, unilorin started a well-ordered student ID programme that made us to wear our ID cards like co-operate people do. The IDs were so structured that from the colour of the rope, you easily tell which faculty a particular student belongs to. And within a faculty, you can tell which department another is with the colour of the plastic casing. What did the copy-cats see this for? They went agog with starting theirs which is yet still not as sleek as Unilorin's.
As part of our convocation package, the school gives us a beautiful T-shirts with all the names of the graduands on it. Every unilorin graduate wear it on camp as if on cue thereby fostering our bonds, organisation and friendship in camp to their chagrin. Now, they have copied it.
I can go on and on but time and space will fail me.
If you have not had the Unilorin experience, your hate is understandable.
Unilorin is being run as Nigeria ideally is suppossed to be ran- innovative leadership, corrupt-free and a long term development plan.
My SUG presido in 2007 taught us a song which seems to spite the hatred.
It goes thus:
"Lèyin Ilórin kòsí varsity o
alágídí l'omo O.A.U,
lèyin kòsí varsity o,
area boys l'omo Unilag"

The haters have since multiplied from all the regions of the country.

Dygeasy: Define Tribalism

Spotless180: if unilorin was d only school in Nigeria, i would rather sit at home. pls stop asking childish question ok? i have already made my comment and if it doesn't go down well with u, better do the needful i.e hug the nearest transformer or look for hammer to break ur head.

Dygeasy: This explains why you will continue to sit at home.

I was hoping to hold a really intellectual argumentative conversation with you but you went full-throttle down the insulting way.

God will help you.

Fejos: Better by S . H . I . T. University.. F. U .C .K.I . N tribalistic and Islamic school..

GoodBoi1: I think it's all hype. Electronic Library card? wifi? And others... Which school doesn't have that?

Olutola88: First, I'll like to give honour to whom honour is due; I doff my hat to the Premier University of Ibadan. I'm doing this because no matter how successful Lionel Messi is, he will still salute Diego Maradona

I know it's normal for people to hate on you when you are a success but the hate non-unilorin students and non-unilorin graduates have for my dearest alma mater is alarming.

Instead of you people to think of how you'll advise your younger ones to dream of gaining admission into the best University in Nigeria, you are there hating for nothing.

Some of the critics say Unilorin rush their students and that they don't use more than two months to complete a semester. This statement infuriates me so much but I try to laugh each time I hear such. For your information, the problem you people are having is that, the Nigerian factor makes you people see what is “right” as “wrong” and what is “wrong” as right. University of Ilorin operates the ideal, standard and logical academic calendar; they resume a new session in September/October and close June/July. Each semester, they have 15weeks of Lectures and 4 weeks is always dedicated for exams. You people feel it is wrong because you are used to using 18months for one session. It's not your fault, it's normal for pauper to accuse the rich of profligacy for washing his hands with Eva water.

Some uninformed ones amongst you say Unilorin students are not sound. That statement always pushes me to hit hammer on someone's head but I always remember the penalty for murder + my Alma mater taught me not to be violent. Whether you like it or not, an average Unilorin graduate is Smart. Regardless of the department they finished from, they never disappoint. I am a proud graduate of the better by far University. whenever I speak in a gathering of intellectuals, the first question they ask me is “What University did you finish from” and the second question is always; “did you finish with a first class” and I always respond with No, I finished with a 2.1.

I would avoid writing an epistle for the sake of lazy readers. Nevertheless I'll like you to tell me of that university that combines the good qualities of a public university with the desirable hallmarks of a private university. In genetics, it is called hybrid. Unilorin is a hybrid university.

What more do you want from a university if the university offers you sound Education, grooms you in character, allows you to plan you life accordingly, gives you access to quality Information & Communication Technology, provides an avenue for a work&study programme, makes available your certificate and Academic transcript a day after your graduation, makes sure you are @ the NYSC camp 4 months after your final papers etc

Even the private universities we have cannot meet that record of making available University Certificate and Academic Transcript 4 months after your final exams.

Why the hate? Why the subjective criticisms? Why not join the winning team? The yorubas will say: “Gba fun oga e ” which means accept that your master is your master. You people should be proud that An exceptional institution like the University of Ilorin is a Nigerian University.

On a final note, If you are not a student or Alumnus of the better by far university, the University of Ilorin, do yourself good by getting one as friend.
