Vice Chancellor of UI, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka, while reacting to the ranking, stated that the university was thinking more about ranking among the top five in Africa in next few years.
"Being number one in Nigeria and number one in West Africa should not be taken for granted. The real challenge is for us to be ranked among the top five in Africa in the next few years. This is do able given the pedigree of Ibadan over the last 68 years. As we speak, we have perhaps the most highly developed postgraduate school, with easily the largest number of master’s and doctoral students in sub-Saharan Africa.
He continued: “ The UI School of Business has been approved by the NUC, and it is set to take off soon with her flagship MBA programme, which used to be run by our Department of Economics. The UI Research Foundation (UIRF) set up by the immediate past Vice Chancellor, Prof Isaac Folorunso Adewole, to reposition research activities in this institution, is perhaps the first of its type in Africa."

Thanks. There are historical documents and journals dating back to two hundred years ago that support the Yoruba assertions that obas of Benin are Ife princes. The problem is that you never searched for it. This issue is not new On Nairaland so you can diligently read through, the only new thing is the lie peddled by the late oba of Benin which doesn't have any historical antecedents nor clear evidence.
Nowhere in the world will someone wake up one day, write a book and claim authority over superior historical events that have been documented without providing superior proof. The Yoruba ancestors were wise enough to insist that the heads of oba of Benin are buried in ile Ife if not these liars would have gone away with their attempts at rewriting history.

ogun dey kill skydivers children wen dey lie abeg make una ooni snap the pucture make we see for una ooni to say white cum from yoruba dat was d worst of his lies ur ooni 5000 gods cnt even wistand one oba gods for the record der was noting like oyo empire what u afonjas who are confuse of der existence is doing is gathering up history to befit urselves do u Wonder if truly oduduwa really came down from sky or is it true the benin version that proves uptill date is really the true story

Hahaha.You just contradicted yourself. It is a son who copies the father. Besides, the heads of past Oba of Benin are buried in Ile Ife because all oba of Benin are ile Ife princes, if you're right, it's the heads of past Oduduwa descendants that should be buried in Benin. Meanwhile, get it clear, it's only the Benin royalty that's fully Yoruba.Even that much has been addressed by the Itshekiri Traditional Council. The word Oba is Yoruba, stop fooling around joor

sky divers tell me y pple decide to use obantala to attribute king instead of oduduwa of ife not oba of ife secondly nobody doubt our kings bronze head is not been buried there but y do u ask no that y u are goat lemme tell u in benin oba and his son doest see bcus after izoduwa the benin prince sent is son oromiyan to benin he he came to benin and he impregnated a benin woman b4 d child was delivered he left to ife the child never knew parential care bcus he was been trained by chiefs so in other for the fathers in ife to see is generations in benin after the death of an oba in benin they were told to bring a bronze head of the oba to ife to be buried not to show seniority if it was to it i dnt oba of benin would have been the only burying the bronze head there the rest would have joined him now ask urself what as d ooni ife archieve tha u defend him d british didnt even notice the kingdom at all is it bcus of ur population or the way u pple yr people as slaves to the white abeg reason makw u cum tell me

I guess when you want to take a wife, you should discard your tradition in the name of civilization? Young man quit lamenting civilization or not, history has a way of repeating itself and element of ancient custom has a way of playing out in modern era. It is the same attitude of relegating customs that is playing out in Christianity. Christian truth is now being subjected to time. Many will tell you dressing modestly is old fashion and can't be conditioned on modern man, prohibitions in the Bible are now being questioned. Like when scripture says a woman must cover her head and not preach at the altar. Today we see flagrant disobedience to these rules. Am not surprised that in the name of modernity man has become rebellious. If you don't cherish your tradition, I do mine. Am proudly Bini man.

who have the world oba : after so many research we found out the benin actually have the world.it said that oba means shinny in benin that statement was looked up and we found out in benin they used red in everything they do clothing housing ornament even the ground they admire red as a shinng call before the advent of the white and changed red as danger or warning the world "ba" in benin is red in the old benin language b4 d advent of the white u can make a statement saying ya rie' emwin no' oba ni mwen meaning give me that shinny thing but now in presently the world ba" means danger while imose means beauty but not shinny .now after oromiyan left benin bcus he was afraid to enter d heart of benin to take d throne he came for bcus he life would b astake he left leavin is pregnant wife behind wit anger saying his only d person that grew up here dat can flow nd understand dis pple and he left leaving eweka behind thats y in benin uptill nw d king nd his son never meet till death eweka grew up to meet his uncle ogiemen on throne after battle for d throne eweka couldnt win but later came up wit an agreement eweka den ascended d throne not as ogiso bc,us he saw the ogiso as wicked and strict rulers nd as a new era he change the name ogiso to shiny in form of praise to himself the kingdom later yrs expended the kingdom yrs later yoruba empire admire the name and took and used it to ascribe thier royalty nw they make claims obantala was ruler b4 oduduwa so they took oba out of d "tanla" and ascribed the oba to royalty we believe it was a lie told for selfish intrest if they couldnt take the full name obatanla or add to the name to ascribe royalty or king then is al lie if it was to be believe that is true the word oduduwa would hve been used to ascribed thier King not oba

nw you are talking letme show u hw e relate
bcus the yorubas fails to say d truth dat der were rulers b4 oduduwa in ife cus d benin version oduduwa says wen izoduwa ekaladeran got to ife dey were already awaiting him according to d prophecy of der gods in ife dey said a man wit powers and charms would come and he is going to be a prince from another land far far away he is going to be a god sent to our kingdom and he is going to replace the present king in ife and wen he comes he is going to b on white thats y ur oooni wears white and he wears it in d wrong way he is ment to tie it round is waist is true by yorubas that oduduwa was a prince nd he is from benin not from sky dat was a misunderstoodment of the prophecy is also true dat he is a god son dat is osanubua in benin known as(oludumare) in ife but nw adays yorubas will say oduduwa was d first king in ife and obantala was his elder bro who was asked to create humans but couldnt so oduduwa helped and dats hw e bcame king and obantala went bck to heaven thank admit it dat der was kings b4 izoduduwa comin nw it nw tally wit the benib own
