Notre Dame is a private Catholic university, so your driveling is ill-informed...

Again, many Nigerians keep chasing shadows in derogation of substance. Even the founder of your religion was reportedly keeping the company of a well-known prostitute, perhaps because he was not mistaking the trees for the forest. Funny how so many ignorant Nigerians turn their noses up at the West and their supposed “uselessness” - but will then go to prayer meetings and fasting to get a Western visa. SMH

CodeTemplar:
You problem is low level of wisdom combined with knowledge of too many irrelevant facts. Jesus was sent to those people you call prostitutes but Covenant Uni as a school wasn't commissioned for the sake of handling such characters ( prostitutes ).
The fact that Jesus was with a prostitute is no excuse to open the doors of a school with a different vision to such characters.

So becos people fast and pray for visa to those countries we can no import all the shitty values the have into our system? You are plain dull.

9jaRealist:


This dude cannot even grasp a basic analogy...

And yes, if you find people’s values to be “shitty” why are you struggling and risking life and limb to be surrounded by such values?


Nigerians love to make “show” of their supposed piety, but meanwhile their loudest pastors are keeping and impregnating mistresses and concubines. SMH

UI has been there for decades and it is only natural that they accumulate more good works. CU becomes strong when you look at their growth rate or work rate as a whole school for the past few years.

You are deliberately skewing the arguments from quality of research to age of institution.

In academics, age is irrelevant. Mind you UI or CU can't even compete with many post 1992 universities on the UK. What about NTU or KAUST who though young are boasting impressive publications?

Don't just spew stuff. Not all readers on nairaland are gullible.

Dull again. Do people go to advance nations for their societal values or for economic reasons?
The answer to the above holds key to your ignorance.

Hmmm... now you are digressing in every new post you make. I take that to mean you are subtly running away.

One of the painful problem of folks I see on this platform especially the guys promoting CU is that they think that by much speaking of high sounding words and razzmatazz folks would just swallow hook line and sinker all they say.

They forget that like the Berean Christians, there are people who still study to sift out thrash from contents.

Now you argue that funding is a problem and that age matters but yet you are the first people to populate the internet with your so called exploits - first uni in Nigeria to budget xyz for research, first uni to do this and first uni to do that.

All of a sudden, age now matters but you lack respect for UI as she is always continuously bashed by you guys all in an attempt to project a false representation of yourselves.

I would not dignify you again by responding. I believe your subsequent posts show you are bereft of basic and well grounded knowledge that can enable you make sensible contributions on this subject matter.

Do have a splendid morning.

UI doesn't do shii.. we er ahead in research compared to UI students dere are jus collecting free msc and phd

PRIVATE UNIVERSITY CATEGORY
Though founded in 2002 the university rose quickly to dominate the academic space leaving other private universities in the dust.

asuustrike1:

Which free m.sc and PhD or you think it is easy to get them?

papyskinsy:


I have friends dat skl dere. dere msc s very easy.. they even present in groups. dey call their writeup .. Long essay.. while ours here in OAU is called thesis

asuustrike1:

M.sc is not easy anywhere. Group presentation is different from thesis presentation. Group presentation may be coursework

papyskinsy:

broo.. its not coursework am talking about... am talking about dere final report presentation haven done all de coursework

asuustrike1:
Are you for real? which department is that?

papyskinsy:

computer science

asuustrike1:
Is it so for other departments?

papyskinsy:


yea.. its even worse in some dept. no wonder ppl rush ui

Let me just reiterate here that I'm quite disappointed with the comments bandied here by folks. I am disappointed. The OP makes a post and folks can't intelligently take him on and with facts and that's disappointing.

Any one can write anything and get it published. That's academia for you and in Nigeria where pay to publish and predatory publications and plagiarism run wild, it isn't difficult having such a publication in public space.
Sir, I'm a first year student in a Federal university. The lecturers we have as you stated are mediocre (s). Just this morning in a class, a lecturer came to give his lecture; he spoke of over five research works of his that are top notch. I went online as the class was ongoing to confirm and I discovered only one of his work was found in a reputable international journal as a contributor. The other works were in local journals. My co-freshers gave him an applause for his lies. I intend going into full time research and I'd not like to be average.
Thanks.


The OP would like us to believe that researchers in CU and Lautech are doing great. I agree to an extent. However, we must not be railroaded into that wrong perspective of ever equating quantity with quality which is what you find common among researchers in these institutions.

How can someone be a professor in CU with an RG score of say 11 or 14 or even 10 and have over 60 papers. Where are these papers being published? Again, I read and sincerely in my field only 2 or 3 researchers from CU stand out - Sunday Oyedepo, Olayinka Ohuakin and Adaramola. The others are in UI (3 of them), Futminna, UNN and one in Unilag. Co-oncidentally, I have collaborated with the folks in UI, Daniel in Unilag and Lanre in Futminna. It's a small world and we know ourselves and the truth.

Let's not get over excited or bamboozled. When information is made available, let's search the internet and understand international best practices to gauge if the information we are being fed or made to believe measures up. That CU is really trying isn't in doubt, however, the road to excellence is still far away.
