Well, allow me to say this about this shameful arguments about best or no best university in Nigeria.

I finished my undergrad in Nigeria and came here for a masters degree. My brothers, lets not deceive ourselves, Nigerian universities are dead! UI or no UI, OAU or no OAU. In ranking of African universities, only 4 Nigerian universities made the list. UI, OAU, Uniben and Pan Africa university all of which have very low score compared with the so-called disadvantaged university of Zululand in South Africa(one of the poorest in that country) beating these your so-called UI,or whatever hands down. Sometimes I am ashamed among colleagues when they talk about university ratings and universities from my country are no where to be found and there you are at home fighting over useless claims.

South Africa has just 21 universities and all these made the list of the first 100 universities in Africa with the first best 7 from that country. Nigeria in deed is the giant of Africa! The facilities in in the so-called UI, where are they? How many Nigerian professors attend international conferences? How many universities in Nigeria host international conferences? What research outputs do these so-called universities have? My friends stop waisting your time here, no university in Nigeria is of African standard not to talk of world standard!

You guys should stop this argument and bury your heads in shame!
