Olumyco:
This is webometric ranking and I don't think its the most authentic one.

The most common is Times Higher Education Ranking
And their ranking for 2019 ranks University of Ibadan and Covenant as number one in Nigeria and number 6 in Africa.

To me this webometric might be misleading.
Times Higher Education has been in this business and they uses different factors that to rank.

Admitwithschola:


Are you not ashamed? Comparing a university which started just 25 years ago to other universities which have been existing even before Nigeria's independence.

One thing is sure, Covenant is a top university in Naija and is doing really well. It comfortably rubs shoulders with the Naija greats such as UNN, Unilag, UI etc.

Before you say oh, na Covenant man, no, I didn't attend Covenant.

Maxcollins042:
The VC of the University of Ibadan must be somewhere now muttering under his breath.

But on a serious note what are the criteria employed at arriving at this ranking?

Omoluabi9:
LIES...

Bring us a credible source.

The new webometric ranking (July 2019 version 8.1.0 BETA), has ranked University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), as number one in Nigeria, 17 in Africa and 1,108 in the world.

The ranking is based on quality of research output in the year under review. While Harvard University, Stanford University and University of California, Berkely in United States (U.S.), made the top three with 8,704,969; 7,702,739 and 6,431,594 citations respectively, UNN ranked 1,108th position with 108,209 citations.

With the ranking, UNN became the only Nigerian university in the top 20 ranking in Africa, while University of Ibadan (UI) with 86,756 citations ranked number two; followed by University of Ilorin with 74,245 citations; Covenant University with 55,844 citations and University of Lagos (UNILAG) with 41,121 citations in the fifth position.

While UI ranked 1,246 worldwide; University of Ilorin ranked 1,328; Covenant University 1, 511 and UNILAG ranked 1,726 on the global table.University of Cape Town topped the continent’s lists with 996, 898 citations.Also, while eight U.S. universities made the top 10, two United Kingdom universities completed the list. This, however, indicates that U.S. remains a flag bearer on the global education scene.

TSRC:

The only public university that should be mentioned alongside UNN is UI.

The rest still dey learn. The quality of alumni from UNN blows out whatever Unilag or OAU has to offer.

OAU is even the worse. Covenant is a far better representation of the south west.

Elemosho478:




Guardian is now a Propagandist website


UI still lead UNN in Webometrics ranking

UI is on the 15th position while UNN is on the 36th position

UI is still number 1 in Nigeria on Webometric website

I wonder where UNN and Guardian get their source from

Elemosho478:



On the Webometric Ranking UI is still number 1 in Nigeria and 15 in Africa


This is fake news and Propaganda from Guardian

That report IS FALSE!
We know your antics...

yarimo:
Mtewwwww UNN ko MMM ni

seanwilliam:
mumu interms of alumni influence and popularity, it is abu, unilag and ui. but considering all criteria that determine being the best, the follow 5 are the best of all time as per 9ja standard.
unilag
ui
oau
abu
unn..
note: unilag &ui beat unn in all means.

seanwilliam:
unilag has been consistent in the top spot. talk of products-especially of recent- unilag beats unn. in corporate settings, unilag has the best collection of alumni. an average unilag grad tends to settle faster in corporate world. cc; jarus.

arinzos:

Even for Naija standard sef..na only UI fit pass UNN no other University.
See as you de list am like say you dn go all the universities.
Naija standard weh de biased.
We go with world ranking and any ranking will only place UI and Covenant ahead of UNN period.which means in public Universities,na only UI pass UNN.
