emekakelvin: If webometric ranking is not an acheivement, then on what category would you term it? A yearly ranking which places Uni base on the number of users' they get viewing/engaging in any educational activities on their site?

Do you know what webometric means? An online Advertisement to the western and eastern World. If you are familiar with the business world, you will discover that brand like mtn and Coca-cola still advertise their products to get more customers and sponsors despite the level/cost of their goodwill, but you are here calling webometric ranking bull-crap.
If coca-cola does not stop advertising her product, so why should schools that are on the height of webometric ranking not celebrate their achievement?

Do you know the amount of money that is involved

Amount of money involved? And do you think the likes of UI, ABU, UNIBEN are not popular. Even the popularity of UI is more than any Nigerian school.

Is it not the same WEBOMETRICs that rank school based on their web presence? Let both schOol continue fighting each other because of that. Webometrics methodology: The Ranking Web or Webometrics is the largest academic ranking of Higher Education Institutions. Since 2004 and every six months an independent, objective, free, open scientific exercise is performed by the Cybermetrics Lab (Spanish National Research Council, CSIC) for the providing reliable, multidimensional, updated and useful information about the performance of universities from all over the world based on their web presence and impact.


The same webomtrics that ranked Landmark university above many government universities and ranked AUCHI polytechnic
above many universities in their last 2 or 3 years ranking.

Now, when NUC rank Nigerian universities, they will disagree because its Nigerian organization.

The result will be released today. Wish you guyz all the best... #Anticipate to see beautiful results

Alright, I'm wishing you success in your forthcoming examination

Ebun! Its been while o, can't even call me again... I lost ma glo sim nd I jst retrieved it last week. Buzz me on 08156301826 or 08066169642. UI ain't easy at all o .

davidmascot: Ogbeni.... Shey you wan start VC contest 4 here ni? UI VC ko OOU Dean ni!

Lmao.... No mind me, na so I hear am b4 jawe, the man wan contest for senate ni and d election matters to him much because he's a PDP member. Na ILESHSA e dey, wey dey monitor for PDP.

onatisi: bro every pdp member knew that osun was going to be difficult and even the pdp chairman told omisore when he was given him the party ticket and flag that aregbe will be difficult to beat. This result doesn't come as a surprise to anyone in pdp . Oyo is gone from apc already and the issue of lagos is been addressed . I wish I had the opportunity of making a bet with u

You don't know politics and Ibadan people. Firstly, PDP is planing to give the Governorship ticket to TESLIM (former senate leader) or Akala (Fomer governor) and if they do, they will loose woefully. PDP member don't even like TESLIM not to talk of Ibadan people, what was his achievement during his 8yrs in senate? Nothing. And if PDP want to win, they must present a good candidate from IBADAN as their flag bearer. Ibadan people are wise. Back to another aspirant which is LADOJA of ACCORD party, he's an old man and people don't even prefer him again, the only thing he can do is to present a good candidate, if not he will lose too. Back to AJIMOBI, if ibadan peeps didn't see any better candidate, they will rather go for their son AJIMOBI of APC.

Damolux01: Good Morning to you all...Most results that were circulating online yesterday are RUSE. INEC has been doing an authentic compilation of results overnight proudly coordinated by Prof Bamitale Omole(OAU VC). Tune in to Silverbird, Channels, Ait for happy viewing. May God give us a Man after His heart Best wishes!

Prof Bamitale Omole is not the returning, INEC returning officer's there is Prof Isaac Adewole (UI VC), an Indigene of Ilesha in Osun state (Aregbe domain) and also a senate aspirant under PDP for 2019 general election. At least, he will get ministerial appointment if Jonathan win next year election. There is no chance for him in Aregbe domain because Aregbe will likely contest for senate post after his tenure

Cybermugu1: Confused religion!

You think Islam is like christianity that some of you will do service on saturday, while some will say sunday is the sevice and some will do christmas while some won't do.
Tell me where it is in BIBLE that jesus tell you people to be doing Christmas, Easter, and New year. A conventional religion that leave is own initial principle for the sake of what's happening in the world. Are they not confused?
FYI, Islam is a practicalized religion, not just by carrying books around and won't practice what's in it.

chronique: Islam!!! Such a funny and controversial religion.

#Lionel Messi is the player who created the most chances (23) and completed the most dribbles (46) in World Cup 2014

Most completed dribbles in a single World Cup (since 1966): Maradona 53* in 1986, Jairzinho 47* in 1970, Messi 46*

#Messi: "This was a chance to give the fans some joy after all the sadness. Golden Ball is not important, all I wanted was to lift the cup

#Barcelona star Lionel Messi admits being named the Player of the World Cup is a hollow feeling after Argentina's defeat …

Hndholder:

This man is purely ignorant of the polytechnic education. it is just a pity to have such a person once a teacher in the polytechnic.

. What is this one saying? Are you the one I quote.... You better start sleeping well because I don't think you checked the name of the person that quote you initially. #Rest my case #NoHoMo

kovak:

How does it feel when deflated as you have? When you'd have to explain away your inadequacies?

Back to the focus of the discussion... what makes you feel superior as a BSC holder to an HND holder? Prove to me that you are more educated than an HND graduate. Let me see the level of intellectual refinement which should be characteristic of someone who has gone through the four walls of the ivy tower.

. You want me to prove for you? Then you'll have to meet me in person. Did you read my previous post well? FYI, I attended a very renown polytechnic also before I changed to UI. Let me tell you this, HND is good but DEGREE is BETTER

kovak:

Bravo!!!

Isaajibola's comment is the bull sh*t of the month!

Your comment is riddled with atrocious blunders. Your grammar is terrible, your argument is prejudicial and you don't know that the Nigerian education system is totally faulty and archaic.

Sit down there and plan to send your children to your "glorified" Nigerian university, while the sensible ones plan a proper UK/US education for their children.

. Life is too short for me to start having grudges or E-fight with you.

Ranting because of typographical error.
If you're here for grammar assessment, I think that is good for you.
Moreso, am not saying HND is not good but Bsc is better, I was just trying to enlight people that can reasoning here about the difference.
Whether you have HND or Bsc, you will still become whatever you're destined to be in life.
It is not until you work from day to night before you can make it in life, its GOD BLESSING that makes one to succeed without stress. ( Example: Late Alhaji Arisekola Alao )
Whatever you do in life, always give 100%,
There's no need to say shit you already know!!! The question is just how far will this go.

Let's check this out:

To show the superiority of Bsc over HND

Polytechnic lecturers: HND or Bsc?
Polytechnic lecturers: If he/she has HND certificate, he won't get promotion in the so called polytechnic
Polytechnic lecturers: Even HND certificate only does not worth to be used for lecturing in higher institution.
Polytechnic lecturers: They will still go to Uni to get their PGD, MSC or Phd

Polytechnic Administration:
Rector: Prof or Dr
HOD: Msc and co

Practicals:
No practical in polytechnic, even university do more practical than poly. Most students nowadays acquire their practicals during IT and co.

I passed through polytechnic and graduated with upper credit in EE but now in UI.
Lecturing, practicals, research if far better than polytechnic.

Even if you want to feel that you're in school, its only Uni that you can feel that

ADVICE to ND/HND:

If you don't like the way things is, I will implore you to get that Bsc and the inferiority complex will not be there again.

Question: If they ask you where you want to your child to school, you will say university.

If it is sending assignment from home, many skuls in NIGERIA re doin dat. Even u can't attend sum class if u don't av system. If u want to confirm it well, ask UNILAG, OAU, UI student weda dey re nt doin assignment online and send it to dia lecturers. Wen dey re shoutin abt ASUU! ASUU STRIKE, wat has ASUU strike benefit dose. D most important tin is d facilities dey av. Wen. Dey re shoutin abt dis, wat of Nigerian private universities! 95% of private universities lecturer nd student already av it. UNILORIN jst lyk to dey brag too much. D gud development dia is dat, d skul provide system for all dia student nd lecturers.

Lecturer teachn student from home doesn't guarantee best in student, I can say dats a lazy stuff at times, sum skul wu normally teach student from home re an ONLINE INSTITUTION. Go find out abt foreign skuls like HAVARD UNI, OXFORD UNI, YALE UNI,TORONTO UNI and co hw students were receivn lectures. Weda d remaining UNIVERSITIES do it or not, dat doesn't mean dey re nt d best. UNILAG still remain d best in LAW, OAU still remain d best in ENGINEERING, UI stil remain d best in MEDICINE. Its gud for every student to knw hw to operate system dou.

Dey were denied admission because sum ppl applied to course dat doesn't corespond to wat he/she did initialy. For example; SLT student dat applied for medicine, agric/econs nd applied for economics bt did nt av economics in his o-level. Jst used dat as an example dou.

Let's wait for the second batch, that will contain the fall back.

Has any 1 been admitted to his/her fall back course. If yes signify

Today, President Goodluck Jonathan has 550 days left on his oath of office.


I would like to suggest resignation to him as a patriotic
and honourable course of action, but I use both
adjectives with a deep sigh.
When I first penned my first Countdown Calendar on his presidency, in July 2011, he had almost 1400 days. On November 27 of that year when I offered the reminder again, he had 1,278.
In the past two years, I did not bother to write the
calendar at all in order to avoid sounding like a heckler.
Today, with just one and a half years left, most of which will fall into the no-man's land of preparing for the 2015 election, I think it is only fair to remind him again that Time does everything but wait.
What Mr. Jonathan does next, politically, could maim his legacy, or make it. In my view, the only way for him to make a significant impact on Time may be to resign his office, or at least resist the temptation to seek re-
election. If he respects his country-and his party, the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-more than he loves
himself, he ought to consider these options.
For certain, nobody in the presidency will tell him that
under his leadership, Nigeria is a defeated country and
the laughing stock of the international community. Nigeria is defeated because Mr. Jonathan is defeated. And the irony and the agony is that he has been defeated more by his friends than by his opponents.
As he left for London last week for a meeting of the
Honorary International Investors' Council (HIIC), Mr.
Jonathan held in his bag his latest defeat, by his own
Minister, Stella Oduah. The HIIC aims to advise Nigeria on development issues, in the course of which it is heavy on political corruption and other challenges to investment such as crime, violence, poverty and political instability.
Mrs. Oduah has been embroiled for nearly two months in extremely scandalous corruption allegations that have taken on a life of their own internationally. But even while the thunderous allegations went off hourly like bombs on an old Beirut street, Mr. Jonathan neither fired nor suspended her. Even when he finally succumbed and set up a presidential panel allegedly to probe the matter, he took the Minister with him on a foreign tour for the first of the panel's two-week lifespan, along with a member of the three-man panel.
You did not need anyone to tell you the president was
not really looking for the truth, and it is no surprise the panel has since receded into irrelevance, with no report, no presidential action, and no resolution. The Minister remains a member of the federal cabinet, and Nigeria is the butt of jokes around the world, many of them certainly heard by members of the HIIC Mr. Jonathan was due to meet in London last week.
Perhaps it was no surprise the Nigeria leader opted for
the safety and security of a London hospital bed. Had
that event been in Nigeria and he had to contemplate a
hospital bed, I am certain he would have leapt off the
ambulance into the conference hall like the Under-17
football captain Musa Mohammed after a crunchy tackle. In other words, while Mrs. Oduah may well be innocent, corruption, incompetence and indolence again won the latest battle.
Regrettably, under Mr. Mr. Jonathan, they have won
every conceivable ethical confrontation so far, and I
challenge any presidency official to contradict this.
This is why no government official dwells on the
Transformation Agenda ruse any longer. As I continue to say, there is neither transformation nor agenda, certainly none of an ennobling or positive character.
I have no love for the PDP, everyone knows, but anyone who tells Mr. Jonathan the PDP-old or new-can win the next presidential election is lying to him. Worse still, anyone who tells him he can win re-election is merely flattering him. Nigerians who voted for him in 2011 did on the basis of his potential, but also because of his ruthless armada of political promises.
Those conditions have changed drastically, and I do not
see Nigerians falling for any further "I once had no
shoes" stories. Mr. Jonathan's demonstration of
considerable weakness, along with his romance with the seedier dimensions of politics is certain to yield only grief at the polls. The PDP, like Nigeria, would have a far better chance with someone else that has a chance at seeking believability on his own.
Once upon a time, Mr. Jonathan dismissed WikiLeaks
revelations about the corruption in Nigeria of which he
was a part, as "beer parlour gossip." At the time, the
Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of
Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, also called the
revelations, one of which involved her, "fiction."
There is neither fiction nor gossip about Ministers who
face extensive fraud allegations, just as there is neither fiction nor gossip about looming anarchy because a chief of state cannot summon the character to enforce discipline. Not only is Mrs. Oduah neither "beer parlor" nor "fiction," the menace she represents can damage Mr. Jonathan's presidency irretrievably. She confirms the advancement of Nigeria's lootocracy while Mr.
Jonathan's inability to act decisively confirms the worst possible advancement of his political impotence, and his defeat.
The quality of Mr. Jonathan's defeat as a leader is even more pronounced when one considers that he is unable to identify the relationship between his inability to lead and his unsuitability for leadership.
I am prepared to cheer a leader who pursues the best
interests of his country, but when a leader is dragging
that country into the depths of despair, the only thing a citizen can do is ask to be set free. That is why I
advocate for Mr. Jonathan a graceful, quiet exit.
Think about it: anywhere else in civilization, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, claiming to be "deepening reforms and rooting out corruption" would be one of those hilarious jokes to which you wake up laughing in the middle of the night, but not in Nigeria.
I have written elsewhere that Mr. Jonathan's biggest
fear on the corruption file is that he cannot control what might fall off the branches should he shake the tree.
Nigerians who wonder about the future may want to
keep in mind that during the street protests of 2012, the Nigerian leader actually sent armed soldiers into the streets in what I thought was a dangerous power-sharing arrangement with the military And yet…and yet this is the year, 2013, that he promised Nigeria would see performance wonders from him. At his Media Chat in June 2012, he dismissed his critics as people who would be humbled in 2013. "No matter the abuse, we must plan. And after the abuse, people will see the results by 2013 and things will change," he said.
Really? 2013 is all but over, and Nigeria is doing worse,
not better. Mr. Jonathan may want to remember that it is the mark of a man to be able to look into the mirror and simply say, "No more!" No more recycling of hopes and promises.
Save yourself, Mr. Jonathan: resign. Alternatively, please remember that with 550 days, miracles are still possible.

Who tell u dat Universities are theory-based while polytechnics are practical inclined. That's a complete lie. The Nigeria we re in today, universities and polytechnics re nt doin any practical. Av passd through both academic enviroment, even sum universities stil doin a lot of practicals dan all d polytechnics in dis country. Example; UI, UNILAG, OAU nd many odas. Find out abt dose universities ursef.

Universities are theory-based while polytechnucs and colleges are practical inclined. But it's much more difficult gaining admission into a University, and universities have more dons and better facilities thus the reason for the discrimination.

Up to 60 bt don't knw the total actually. Only d course dat dos nt av much student is wat dey left for COC. Dey exclude dose dat av enough candidate.

Sum were nt send message bt to b on a safer syd, is gud for dem to do COC. All z well

Jamb did not send the name of second choice candidate but UNILORIN have second choice candidate name, who send that to them. There are many schools out dia dat av already offered admission to second choice candidate. Wia du dey get dose name? Don't let us jst b foolin oursevs, its only prayer dat can du it. On d contrary of COC, anoda list is on d way. To b sure abt dat chek d number of dose wu av been offerd admission; sum dept av jst only single student, sum av 3 nd many more like dat. Second batch list wil b out wit DE list.
