Hello!
I'm an undergraduate, can I enroll?

I'm glad someone is bringing this up.

etiosa24:
Who has watched this Netflix series "Dark".
I need a feedback to know if it is worth watching.

if you have seen stranger things, you should like Dark, the storylines are similar, I'm yet to see Dark though but I'm convinced it will make sense.

Sociology55:
Dark is a waste of mb and time

it has good online reviews

it's Oau of course

This is has been an issue that has resulted in an heated argument between my friend and I.

Which of these two universities has more NOTABLE alumnus?

This new series will be premiered taday, I've seen the trailer, it looks promising.

The Osun State High Court sitting in Ede has ordered that the immediate former Acting Vice Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Professor Anthony Elujoba be further remanded in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).


The anti-graft agency had on Wednesday arrested Professor Elujoba alongside the school’s Bursar, Mrs Josephine Akeredolu on alleged financial corruption and abuse of office.

Professor Elujoba and Mrs Akeredolu were arraigned on Friday before Justice David Oladimeji on seven counts of intent to steal money belonging to the institution and conspiracy to defraud the school among others.

The defence lead counsel Ibrahim Lawal, who had earlier filed a bail application before the court, prayed that they be further remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of the application.

The EFCC counsel Festus Ojo, however, opposed the prayer and asked that the defendants be remanded in Ilesha Prison.

In his ruling, Justice Oladimeji ordered that the defendants be remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of the application on Tuesday, July 11.

Meanwhile, some members of staff of the university including the present Vice Chancellor of OAU, Professor Temitope Ogunbodede gathered outside the court to declare support for Professor Elujoba.

The workers who carried placards with various inscriptions described his arraignment as an “injustice to an innocent man”.

They urged the EFCC to look into the case properly and bring the real looters to book and release the former OAU acting vice chancellor.

Stable academic calendar is not the only thing that makes a university.

If your child is the type that loves reading like something else, OAU will be the best.

If he's the social freak, choose Unilag
U.I, ABU, UNN are equally good

C.U is okay also provided you have the financial ability, it is the only private university in Nigeria that deserves the hype.

The day I discovered the true wealth of Nigeria
__It's not all about oil!


When I first arrived in Nigeria to set up the country's first GSM mobile network, Econet Wireless Nigeria (now Airtel Nigeria), I had to serve as the company's interim CEO for about six months, until we appointed someone substantive. This meant I practically lived in Nigeria for most of that time. It was a remarkable experience, and one which will remain with me all my life. Nigeria is one of the most exciting countries in the world, and could be the next China before the turn of this century.

I just want to share with you one particular incident which led me to that conclusion: As many people know, today Nigeria has over 120m mobile phones users. To imagine that I made the first ever official GSM mobile call in Nigeria on 6th August 2001 seems almost unbelievable...

Our company Econet Wireless Nigeria was in a race with MTN Nigeria, the only other operator at the time, to meet a deadline set by the regulator for 8th of August. We beat the deadline and MTN by two days, and as Interim CEO, I had the privilege to call the regulator to tell him we were "Live"!

What a moment in my life! It's something I'll always cherish. I don't really care whether I own or don't own a mobile operator there today. My success will always be measured in terms of my small contribution in kick starting the largest mobile industry on the African continent, and it is Nigeria.

Several months before the launch deadline, I'd arrived with over 100 engineers and technicians, drawn mostly from Zimbabwe and South Africa. At the time, since Nigeria had been delayed by the military governments from acquiring GSM, it was one of the last markets without this new technology. President Obasanjo, who had just won the election two years earlier, wanted to change that and had issued three licenses, but one had been delayed.

This meant that when we started operations, Nigeria had no homegrown engineers or technicians with experience in GSM mobile technology. (Today it has more than Southern Africa combined!)

So whilst setting up the network to meet the deadline, we used expatriates from other African countries that already had GSM. We also began the process of recruiting Nigerian engineers and technicians who we would retrain for this exciting new industry to take over from the expatriate team, which wanted to do in the shortest time possible.

We had literally thousands of posts to fill.

In one instance, we placed newspaper adverts in all leading newspapers asking for people qualified in electronic engineering, at degree level, and with minimum five years relevant experience. I'll never forget the response. I came into the office to find postal bags, piled to the ceiling!

"I only want to see the applications from people who meet our requirements, and not from chancers who aren't qualified," I complained.

"Sir, these are the ones we have vetted."

"What?! You mean there were more than this?"

"Thousands, sir."

Then I came up with an idea: "Why don't you separate for me, the most qualified academically. Set aside people with MBAs, and even PHDs."

A day later, another postal bag of applications was delivered to my office. I was staggered!

There were thousands of people with qualifications in just this one discipline with MBAs and PHDs! Many had qualified in the best universities around the world. There were also GSM-qualified Nigerians working internationally, including in America and Europe, wanting to return home!

I was blown away by the qualifications. I thought to myself: "You can start almost any business or industry here. I wish investors would one day discover the wealth of this nation."

Whenever I hear people talk about the wealth of Nigeria in terms of oil, I shake my head to say: "You have no idea what you're talking about!"

The true wealth of Nigeria is its extraordinary human capital, and passion for education. Unleash that and no one can stop them!

Protests and political rallies shouldn't be on the list

I don't get what the OP meant by 'stronger'
stronger in terms of what?
alumni?
reputation?
infrastructure? or what

we should stop generalising private unis to mean the covenant, abuad landmark etc
very few Private unis in Nigeria can match up with the standard of fed. unis. especially the first generation universities.

There are things the discomfort and struggle in a public will teach u, you'll never get to Learn that in a private uni..

just finished 13 reasons why, I was really expecting Hannah to include her parents in the tape. its a nice series tho .

just started with sense 8 season 2...I hope its worth it 'cos season 1 was not too impressive

PHL101- philosophy my first year was soft, the rest was hell #OAUIfe

13 reasons why, who has seen this new series?

Lol, Kwasu? Infrastructures

Stop giving us bobo here.

I remember doing this during my secondary school days.

Kwasu is one of the 'wackest' in terms of infrastructures

Lol, the girl who wrote this has come out to state that she did it for play-play.

My highly esteemed Gen. Sec!
Congratulations

Spits on thread

I look forward to going there

Smellymouth, this is for you

Interesting , I must say
Without being sentimental, I'm a student of OAU, but I respect UI a lot.
In terms of infrastructures: OAU
Research work: I'll give it to UI
Alumni: I can't tell
Academic Calendar: UI
Sociopolitical life: OAU

UI is ahead of OAU in most science related courses- the college of medicine in UI is the best in the country.

OAU however beats UI in law and hummanites. OAU law faculty alongside with UNILAG is the best in the country.

UI Postgraduate is unarguably the best in the country.

The two schools are really good, like someone said " The Messi and Ronaldo of Nigerian universities."
