I just wonder why you people place your judgement on an empty knowledge...did you ever searched for the size of OAU landmass before you started commenting wrongly...

In case you don't know, Unilorin has a landmass of 15,000 Ha. Which is the highest figure claimed by a University that I've ever come by.
Pls next time make a thorough and objective research so you won't be bias.

And one interesting thing is that Unilorin "embarked on a massive project of 10,000 hectares of oil Palm plantation to invest in the future and generate another oil revenue for the nation. The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, was on our campus on Thursday, May 15, 2014 to inaugurate the project”. Take note, that that plantation is situated on the campus and 'swallows' the whole of ABU.

This is not true at all, Unilorin is the biggest.
The University of Ilorin is located in the
ancient city of Ilorin, about 500 kilometres
from Abuja, the Federal capital. Ilorin, the
Capital of Kwara State, is strategically located
at the geographical and cultural confluence of
the North and South with a land mass of
75,000 (approximate) hectare.
Shut up and stop making noise jare!
It is what everybody has known and it is non-argueable that ABU has the largest university campus in the sub-saharan africa while OAU follows....stop ur critics.

Kikikikikiki!

When other serious people are talking of quality and maximising use of space, 9ja people are talking of size. Schools with tiny campuses like UCL, LSE, King's College, Imperial College, all in London, keep churning out discoveries and Nobel Prize winners. So are Oxbridge schools.

Sorbonne, ETZ, Heidelberg, Bologna and other notable universities are not different.

Even American universities with relatively larger campuses don't depend on size to excel.

Make the best use of what you have, size is irrelevant. Just like a man's third lower limb. cheesy grin grin

[b]That is my main problem with students from schools in the East and West.
They are wallowing in so much pride.

Taking pride in Futility and inexistent trivialities.
Thats why Northerners are always smarter, wiser and more Intellectual.

Because, an Average Igbo man will underestimate a Hausa man.
You call them "Ewu-Hausa" (Hausa goat) and all types of derogatory names.

You think they're stewpid and incapable of attaining great heights.

It is that contempt that makes you blind to their potentials.
In disguise they are excelling, but you won't see it, because you don't expect excellence from them.

This Tribalism and regionalism is what is Killing us, it has eaten deep into our souls.

You see a university that is the biggest in Nigeria and second largest in Africa

Normally you're expected to tap your chest and say yes, my country is taking the lead.

But No you won't, because the development is not coming from your region.

This is paralysing, and until we learn to unitedly appreciate progress as a nation, irrespective of where it is coming from, we will always be estranged to Growth[/b].

Ewu-hausa how far?

Does this size make it the best university in Nigeria? #BigForNothing. Or does it's size eliminate that annoying Hausa accent that's present in at least 75% of their graduates?
