vaxx:
what is the student population of OAU and ensure you also tell us the student to professor ratio.


And with the colour red, the presence of international student in legon is an overwhelming evidence that you are wrong. And ranking is not only done by Times higher idiot. They are other trusted ranking body. Legon was in number 7 position in 2017


Again when you factoring the size of OAU, try to include the remedial campus in moro amd let's see the extimate. The only bigger university in Nigeria is ABU zaria, yet she doesn't not have legon infrastructure or fercility.



You have not been to legon. Don't let me expose you again.

Your legon is small and not among the top 10 in Africa. This is 2019.

In all the ratings Nigeria universities are still ranked higher than all the universities in Ghana combined.

vaxx:
Go learn grammar like your fellow fool.

And regards to the second question, jump on the search engine.

I ask you again? Do you have proof or it's one of those your misyaning?

I have been to Legon university. Don't need yeye search engine. Legon university is very small compared to OAU.


As far as the current world ranked universities is concerned, Nigerian universities are ranked highly than all the universities in Ghana combined.

jaycent:
That gwongoro is the best in the world. The fastest gwongoro in the world


The reason why it fall, it's because of the high speed.

Hahahaha!

vaxx:
This iliiterate has vomit again. Which school do you attend in Nigeria. I challenged you to tell me. Stop splashing stupidity about my alma mater.

Out of the 18 African university that feature in Qs ranking, UniversIty of Ghana is the only representative from west Africa and that should tell you alot . Times higher education ranks periodically. Their ranks are not static. Legon was the number 7 leading university in Africa by 2017 ranking. The latest 2018 and 2019 ranking had placed legon below but 2020 is yet to come. Though orther ranking institution had disagree with times higher. ( like Qs and Reuben ranking)

Anyone who had been to the University of Ghana Legon (with a student population of more than 40,000), can testify to the fact that probably no university in Nigeria has more space and facilities than Legon.


Needless to say that the Ghanaian military is one of the best trained on the continent and had performed exceptionally well in various international assignments. The entire first generation of Nigerian military officers, including Generals Olusegun Obasanjo, Hassan Katsina and Adebayo were all trained in Ghana. Ghanaian army generals have commanded UN troops in Lebanon, Liberia, Rwanda, Darfur, etc over the years.


Which university do you attend?

Do you have proof to back up your claim in the first bolded? Or is it your normal giberish yans?


What do you mean by space and facilities? Explain.

jaycent:
Keep fooling yourself

New Gwongoro fall down flat.

leathalbeast:
stuppid liar, i always knew nigerians were liars so wasnt shocked when i found out the outmoded type of trains you dawgs are using.

Unfortunately, you can't differentiate between a Standard gauge railway system from a Cape gauge railway system.

Jonraid:
You seem an ignorant lad with nothing much going on in your life.The guy above is a British SAS who guards the UK embassy.Because of the nearness of the embassy to the Dusit Hotel,he was amongst the first people to intervene in evacuating civilians from the hotel.

There was even an american Navy Seal in the operation.With all the UN agencies having their global and regional headquarters in Nairobi,don't be surprised to see these guys.Our special forces are also modeled under the SEALS AND SAS guys!

The RECCE Squad,Red Cross,Civilian Gun Owners and the British SAS and the US Navy Seal all did their part,even Tomi Oladipo did his part!(Picture 4) Many contributed during the initial stages of the attack before the scene of operation was left for pacification under the Kenya's forces!

He wan cry.

You don't know anything.

jaycent:
That's what I have been telling him since ooo

But he no wan hear.

PetroDollax:
You are the one fooling your self, ediot. How many Nigerians will benefit from the new minimum wage when more than 65 percent of your people are unemployed? Fuckeduppedness

What is Ghana's unemployment rate? 99% bhuhahahaha!

darkelf:
I didn't say Mikel isn't a good player. Heck, he was important to us in AFCON 2013. But when we had the best support from the NFF, when it mattered the most, we lost badly. We lost 2 games of 3. That is what matters.

Mikel is very good but may not be as indispensable as we think. Wouldn't he retire one day. When that day comes, what next?? Do we want another wahala just as we are facing in the goalkeeping dept since enyeama retired and ikeme fell I'll. That's what I'm talking.g about. We need to step up and on sure qw are up to the task

If we can use Mikel Obi to win another AFCON now, tomorrow will take care of itself. Competition is all about winning regardless of age.

Just30:
its still lower than Ghana's

only those nigerians who have been to Ghana will know that

Stop fooling yourself.

Jonraid:
Yeah,true!

But we don't hire British soldiers to help us like this British soldier is doing for Kenya.

Tell me, what happened to the best riffle at your possession?

Jonraid:
It looks like some cheap toy! Get this! The world's best riffle!

There's nothing like world best riffle if your army is ill trained.

jaycent:
See your gwongoro? are you not ashamed of yourself! You borrowed money from the Russians and went and construct this nonsense, Mr chrisgay idiot

These Gwongoros are better than KENYA'S own.

gallivant:
These trains are better than anything in Nigeria. Gaycunt, do Nigeria a favour and stop posting Ghanaian trains. It's a bad look on your part.

clown.

DeLinguaMan:
President Muhammadu Buhari has finally signed the N30,000 national minimum wage proposed by organized labour into law.

The president signed the bill on Thursday, March 28.

Igbere TV recalls that the bill was last week passed by the Senate, weeks after being passed by the Federal House of Representatives.

Buhari while singing the bill, declared that payment of the new minimum wage will commence in the month of May.

This, according to the president, is to mark the international workers day.

Source: http://igberetvnews.com/601027/breaking-buhari-signs-n30000-minimum-wage-reveals-implementation-date/

Hehehe! It's official. Nigeria's minimum wage is higher than that of Ghana times one and half.

darkelf:
Oga, I am talking about the WC. We crashed out in the group stages. We were not even the best performing African team

Why use until when you know you are only talking about the world cup?

Because a player had a bad game in the world cup means, he is not good enough, ba?

isan:
two different teams for the future

Remove Nwakali and Iheanacho and replace them with Eze and Onomah.

Besides, why has Alampasu been relegated to the dustbin? He should be tested before been discarded as if he is not a Nigerian.

Uzoho to me is not good enough.

darkelf:
Dude, didn't you watch the WC?

You and komekn, sometimes you guys make me laugh.

Just because I decided not to quote you dowabt mean I didn't have anything to say. Oga komekn, I know you use the word nonsensical to describe any opinion that differs from yours.

Mikel in the team during the WC didn't make any difference bro. Besides I think you failed to understand my statement. I said "over-reliance on mikel may coat us" and u stand by it. His presence against Croatia and the Argentines didn't make UA win or draw just as Rinaldo's presence did against Spain or against atletico. Mikel is an overrated x-factor. Even the psychological boost didn't help us win games in the WC, so what are you guys harping about. You didn't dispute what I said. You just wanted me to repeat myself. Until Mikel proves he can make the difference in a tournament against tough opposition, I am all for easing him out of the squad and giving the younger guys more chances to prove themselves. Mikel this....Mikel that.....that what we all said during the friendlies and WC came and our guys couldn't create meaningful chances....even with odogwu Mikel on the pitch. Or am I wrong? I have nothing against the guy but I want UA to atop making unnecessary noise like he is Rinaldo of Nigeria.

Until he proves himself, I'll keep my fingers crossed like a scissors

Did you watch the qualifiers to the world cup? Was Mikel relevant? Yes or No.

Do you mean Mikel Obi didn't make a difference in AFCON 2014? Ivory coast and Mali were not tough opposition, abi?

obaaderemi:
He has been crying since jacblZe broke his heart on the Kicc vs cocoa house battle. A battle he started himself and lost.

I missed. Chaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

obaaderemi:
These days they only come out at night like bats. When we are sleeping.

Like bats!

komekn:
That proposition is without one iota of substance and is somewhat infantile reasoning it is essentially nonsensical.

Mikel arguably the only true top class player we have currently.

Exactly! That's why he could not give any objective reason for it.

jaycent:
He's peeping maybe we're still around

Bhuhahahaha! em go tey for dere.

darkelf:
I still don't see any reason for Mikel's inclusion into the final squad. It may sound crazy but I think he has paid his dues and its now time for others to step up to responsibility. Over-reliance on Mikel will cost us big time

Can you please explain how the inclusion of Mikel Obi will cost us big time?

Me and vax didn't have any conversation? But you can see clearly I handle 5 gaynians criminals at once, that's Jaycent for you

So Mr trekker how is the beating from me, Obaaderemi, forgiveness and KaziKazi

Have you taken your drugs. Sorry for the beating oo. Puahahahaha

He is trying to come out.

chibuzorAbia:
The constitution guarantees freedon of though, speech and religion NOT freedom to disturb and preach!

Nigeria constitution recognises freedom to practice ones religion hence preaching is ALLOWED.

BluntBoy:
It depends on what you mean by just cause

Most of the time, it depends on how the law interprets it.

For instance, a rape victim may think she has a just cause for killing her rapist, but it doesn't mean the law would agree and not sentence her for murder.

Nigeria is a signatory to the International Human rights treaties and besides, it is enshrined in the 1999 constitution. Therefore, the freedom of speech, religion and associate stands.

BluntBoy:
Every law has limits, as indeed every right. That is why we have the judiciary to interpret the law.

Hence, anyone arrested for no just cost should sue the state government to court. Chikena.

BluntBoy:
State law is useless?

Seems you don't know how state laws work.

There are three tiers of government: Federal, State and Local governments and provisions are made for each in the constitution.

State law has limit. It is useless in regards to this subject.
