well! wat do we av here? oau tops the list. i dnt thnk so. i think it should be unilag. though oau is ok academically but the strike is crazy. this is the fourth month we r stayin at hm. i cant even ma room number. i dnt evn thnk am in school at all. if they like they should not call us back

Well feyi,
We are the best as mentioned in the list, And i found out that one of the main reason why we were rated as the best was the improve in our internet facilities,

Actually Webometrics ranking is just , simply a ranking of how useful the internet development of the university is , it says nothing about the academic and research reputation of the university

So that OAU is 1st in Nigeria via Webometrics simply means its first in internet deployment and facilities and web usability, for academic purpose.
