SonOfEl:


You are right sir. but he is considered to be made in UNN, only to be packaged at IFE. but all the same, you are right sir.

He is an Ife product. Period! He graduated the same year with the late Prof. Imoru in 1967.

Ibadan is the best, everybody knows that.

Aareonakakanfo:



I still don't agree with you on that but thank God you admitted UI having more elites.

UNN has more, after ibadan, its UNN.

Take it or leave it, others follow.

menabadoo:
UNN has more elite than OAU, I attended Ibadan and I think only Ibadan has more elites than UNN in Nigeria.

Mention the elite.

OrlandoOwoh:

Mention the elite.

no need mentioning, unn has produced more professors than OAU, even when I was in UI, we had more lecturers from UNN than OAU.

Check the list of fellows, UNN have more fellows.

I know the likes if Charles soludo, Dora akuyinli, Godwin emefiele, Ibe kachukwu, ike ekweremadu, ..........the list is very long

Aareonakakanfo:




Look I'm not even ready for any debate sef. Wo let me enjoy my meat jare and besides Jollof rice go soon don

unn has more elite than OAU, stop arguing blindly.

Only Ibadan can beat uNN.

You're lied that UI has more professor from UI than OAU.

OrlandoOwoh:

You're lied that UI has more professor from UI than OAU.

its not a lie, ask anybody.

menabadoo:
its not a lie, ask anybody.

I don't need to ask anybody: I graduated from OAU, and know that there is an "exchange" of lecturers between OAU and UI. The closeness between both schools makes it earsier for lecturers of OAU to do their sabbatical in UI. UI lecturers also come to OAU for the same purpose.

you know what....leave nairaland, go and investigate, no need dragging anything. besides I still do not accept that UI had more alumni than UNN, UI started awarding degrees in 1965, while UNN started awarding in 1964.

menabadoo:
UNN has more, after ibadan, its UNN.

Take it or leave it, others follow.

again, my friend, its not true. don't allow the western lagos-ibadan press to deceive you.

UI started churning graduates in 1965, while UNN started churning a year or two earlier. before then it was university of London certificate that was issued to students of university college Ibadan. Google it sir.

Guy, I been to UNN and UNEC. OAU started awarding degrees in 1965. Prof. Itse Sagay got his LLB that year.

That is not true. Certificates issued then bore "University College, Ibadan" on them.

OrlandoOwoh:

That is not true. Certificates issued then bore "University College, Ibadan" on them.

it was gotten and signed by the senate of the London university on it. I don't need to argue about that. achebe clarified that since.

When she and her progeny roar the other. "animals" in the "zoo" shivers. UNN producing great lions and lionesses since the birth of Nigeria. The closest rivals are UI in terms of quality products and ABUTH in terms of geographical size and beauty...OAU is not in her class.
Her early combination of British and American systems via introduction of GS which was later adopted by NUC trashed UI's British system bias.
UNN boasts of highest number of faculties and department among all, research institutes and centers.
We parade great masquerades in science, arts and medicine...
