Hello Nairalanders,
Earlier on, I saw a list purportedly released by NUC on the current rankings of various Nigerian Universities. I noticed that alot of people were asking about the criteria used and how NUC arrived at that decision. I have always not been a fan of lists in which criteria are not properly spelt out or polls are not conducted.
In lieu of this, I have decided to establish our very own Nairaland University Rankings, which I am sure Seun will oblige to . This ranking is quite simple and I hope it'll be conducted on an annual basis so that rankings remain updated. However, the method which we will use to arrive at this ranking is quite simple, through a poll/voting! However, this poll will unconventional as everyone will have a say in the issue. The total amount of positive mentions a particular school gets will predetermine its position on the ranking scale. If a school has more positive mentions above others, it'll be deemed to be a candidate for the number 1 position. This is not a popularity contest. Factors such as nature of comments, truism of comments, number of likes comments get, and other varied factors which will be clearly spelt out upon result announcement, will be used. I initially decided to simply list schools and allow for a simple voting but I decided to give voters a say in this issue. This list will be more credible and acceptable if everyone believes they have had a say in how the rankings were made. The individual comments will also be there for posterity. Those who have nothing to say should simply mention the school of their choice.

Here are some ground rules for this poll:
1. Every user is entitled to vote ONCE by commenting! Any other vote/comment or even in reply to a mention is null. Votes made through quotes may be rendered invalid. Users who derail the post will be reported.
2. School names should be clear or abbreviations used. e.g. U.I., UNIUYO, NSUK, SLU, DELSU, etc. To see full list of Nigerian Universities, click here. This list is STRICTLY for UNIVERSITIES. Polytechnics and Colleges of Education shall have their own rankings later.
3. Comments about school should be constructive and positive. This is a voting session, not a session to lambast schools. Feel free to express yourself. There is no need to indicate whether or not the school is your alma mater or your current school as such would render your view subjective. Comments should ideally be like this:

"I am voting for Freemanan Goodboiyy University because the school has a large number of Professors, good infrastructure, high standards, quality programmes such as Masters, etc."

4. Avoid quoting other users when making your own vote. Make your comments original and direct.
5. Attacks on other users and their choices will be reported to moderators
6. Please use simple and correct English. Dont make people wonder about what you've written
7. Votes should be objective. Avoid making it a "my school" thing. Your school may be hard/difficult, well, so is every other school.! Vote right!
8. Schools without a single vote WILL NOT be present in the rankings or will simply be put under "No Votes Category".
9. Votes would be counted by all and at the end, results would be announced. In addition to Nairaland mods, I suggest Freemanan, Jasysandra, Goodboiyy, Thesonofmark and any other interested users to aid in the counting/cross verification of votes cast, votes nulled and invalid votes when it is all over.
10. The results will be counted, analysed and released as "OUR VERY OWN UNIVERSITY RANKINGS"! The process will be credible, open and accessible to all and the criteria will be available via user's comments. . I hope this post will not be locked for result announcement but if it is locked, results may be accessed via the first comment which will be edited.


This voting session is expected to run from now till Friday, 11th December 2015. Results will be announced Saturday, 12th December 2015.
All questions/comments/issues should be addressed to "Mathias Orhero<literarymathy@gmail.com>"

It'll be appreciated if this reaches its proper audience for a wider range of votes. Authenticity is in numbers.

The best higher institution to my knowledge is...

UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN. (UI).


Apart from being the closest thing we have to a state of the art curriculum, the university goes outside the norms of classroom lectures in delivering quality education. It has the finest accommodation system and the best graduating students in Nigeria mostly come from here...

The school is beyond the regular Nigerian education farce... Its massive....

Freemanan:
Hmmmm

so what about Nigeria Polytechnics??
are they not better than the so called Universities?
before u quote......I have both BSC and HND plus ND o

Everyone is mentioned to VOTE! Something which you have clearly not done.

sorry for that

University of Port Harcourt all the way!!!

UNILORIN....

It has the best timing and it is a practical base institution. It you both the skills of sound education and the skills you need to conquer the world after graduation. I am a testimony....


Better by far....

Futminna all the way one of or the best in technology #futminna

University of Uyo

This may end up being one of the biggest comedy shows to watch out for. Don't you think sentiments would influence what most vote outcome will be? How would you arrive at the rankings at the end? Don't you know an institution may currently have more registered members than the others on nairaland. Don't you know that NUC knows the schools who have almost/all have their courses accredited, Their lecturers strength and capacity ,how equipped labs and workshops are, and the universities research output and intellectual export. May be you want to do a popularity poll.

Your points are exactly why comments are allowed. Not every vote will be valid.*. Again, votes also ONLY predeterminers. The nature of comments made will be categorised against number of votes and something objective shall come out of it. Just because everyone shouts a particular school does not mean the school will win. Even the number of likes a person's comment about a school gets shall be considered. I thought about that before now.

Besides, this ranking is for us ONLY. It is not intended for official usage. I hope you understand that.?

[/size][size=8pt] i vote for american university of nigeria (AUN).

UNIUYO.
This citadel of learning may not av d most gigantic structures but even in its humble state, its academic standard is of a high regard.
A university where ur 2.1 can be equated 2 d 1st class of students of other schs. A sch. where students are left wit no oda choice dan 2 be studious cos sorting & bribery is not an option.
A school where cultism,chaos & occultic practices are unheard of.
A sch. dat has succeeded in grooming decent men & women who are socially responsible in both character & in learning

University of Ibadan - The Premier University

The old tradition of innovative and rigorous academic excellence is still upheld.
Recte Sapere Fons (to think straight is the fount of knowledge)

@OP are you educated atal?

You must be so special that everyone here in Nairaland is a "riff-raff".

Thats an elitist thing to say. Better retract that statement and become an observer as I am sure many who think otherwise about this thread are.

Mind you, I do not believe you are more educated or even knowledgeable than I am. This statement is in response to your invective question.

This is the problem I had with the NUC ranking! Too elitist!

Well, THANK YOU for reminding us all again!

hahhahhha... oga titus

no koba me na.... didn't use d 'riffraff' to qualify NLanders..

what I meant was... rating is based on some criterias and is mostly done by professors... else anyone could come up with a list based on his/her opinions..

need I explain myself more??

That is the whole concept bro. I want everyone to come and have a say. When only Professors do it, it is good but most people really dont get it. It's not as if the result will be far from what obtains in standard rankings but that atleast, we will know how they got there.

Need I remind you that this our ranking is just for us and not intended for official use?

True!.. not official

but then is there a need to stress NLanders with all that's going on in Nigeria now...

you could just select the first 10 or 20 and consider them good schools.. cos at d end of the day sef. Skol doesn't count that much as it won't guarantee you job

anywhere you find ursef... try to finish with good grades and ask God for 'Alubarika' cos that's all that count at d end.
