—Most of Nigeria startup founders schooled abroad especially in USA and Europe.

OAU remain number one !

I don’t like University of Ibadan back then because I’m from Ibadan and I want to go to a university that is far away from home (Ibadan) .

That’s why I no go UI.

it's not in the current security situation of Nigeria that you would want to attend a university far from your state.
UI had always been my favorite being a prestigious institution and my intention was to study petro-chemical engineering. At least the distance wasn't far from Lagos. I too like the school
Re: Top 12 Universities In Africa Producing The Highest Number Of Startup Alumni by DeLaRue: 8:29pm On Aug 09, 2023
When I was at Ife, we genuinely believed we were the best in the country. We were unbeatable...well, almost.

We come reach law school, na one guy from University of Ekpoma come be the only first class for our year.

Shuuu..! Ekpoma ke.

OAU guys left law school with our tails between our legs.

Attending OAU was a special privilege. Nothing beats it.

I don’t think security situation in Nigeria affect intra-region universities.

Someone from Oyo will still be safe to attend any university in the SW.
Someone from Anambra will still be safe to attend any university in the SE.

Yeah, UI na one kind great school and Petro-chemical na nice course. Na Geology me I eventually study for undergrad shar.

I think It depends on what a master degree in UI/UNILAG will do for you that an undergrad degree won’t do. Well depend on course tho.

Personally, I’ll advise a person rather just do a professional course with his undergrad if he working in a good place before or instead just apply for USA master degree.

With a GPA of 3.0/4.0 above, you can easily get admission with some funding on your I-20 for USA.

Better this way, we can't continue to harbour enemies within who continue to spite our benevolence in our faces.

Let everyone school in their regions.
