I swear. My friend that graduated from the school, anytime he brags about the school, I just shut him down. Both the school management and students have big problems. Overrated school!

The management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, has described the claim of the Osun State Internal Revenue Service that the university owes N1.84bn tax as a lie.

The revenue agency had, on Wednesday, stormed the university and sealed the main gate, the Senate building and the secretariat.

But the Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr. Abiodun Olanrewaju, in a statement on Friday, said the institution owed N384m and not the alleged N1.8bn.

The OAU management also denied the claim that the backlog of debt was as a result of non-remittance of deducted taxes, noting that the money owed the state government came from under-deduction of PAYE (pay-as-you-earn tax) from university workers’ salaries.

The statement read, “In particular, the university authorities note the claim that the university owed N1.84bn of back-duty tax and has refused to negotiate with the government as false, malicious and total misrepresentation of the truth on this matter.

“The past tax liability, which represented the sum by which the IRS claimed that the university under-deducted from staff salaries for the period 2015 and 2016 for PAYE, has been a subject of negotiation between the university and the state IRS.

“The university administration vehemently disputed the figure of N1.844bn submitted by the IRS and insisted that if there had been under-deduction at all, only the sum of N287m was the amount by which PAYE was under-deducted from staff salaries.

“The Accountant General of the Federation, after examining the claim of the Osun IRS and that of the University, by a letter reference number INV/0089/844/II dated January 19, 2018, returned the verdict that the university’s outstanding tax liabilities was a sum of N384m only being tersity (sic) authorities under-deducted PAYE from its staff salaries.

“Parties agreed to this conclusion, and the recommendation that this sum could be paid at the monthly instalment of N5m. It is therefore with total shock that the university community woke up on May 2, 2018, to find the university main gate as well the university secretariat sealed up by the Osun State Government.”

Now answer this simple question.... How can a whole class pass a medical examination.... please think for once..... if it is linguistics, I may agree, but not medicine.... if you are a student of medicine, you will understand...

It is indeed true that medical exams are usually tough and 100% pass is very unusual. But if you look there.. You will see a certain number of people who failed in that oau result which is really expected. .but when 50% or more of a class fail ..then it's either very poor students were admitted or the lecturers were very poor or the exam was unreasonable the unn result is due to one of these factors or a combination of them ..nothing about standards where by the way unn pales in comparison to Ife Ibadan or lagos. .you do know unn medical school accreditation was withdrawn some years back and their students prevented from writing international exams like usmle. .something that has never happened to Ife ui or Ibadan in at least 20 years
...unn failing her students is a mechanism for reducing overpopulation.. Having 273 students instead of the 150 quota means many have to fail

http://dailypost.ng/2011/12/22/uk-council-blacklists-unijos-unn-other-medical-graduates

Even UK has said unn medical graduates are not fit to practice their.. .any school that can't keep accreditation without losing it is a school seriously deficient standards wise

Anyway.. .mdcn has restored the licence back.. Though nuc disaccredited dentistry in unn few years back.. Don't know if they have restored that one too.. .you don't see that happening with ui oau unilag

Chascop:
The standard of marking is never the same..

Do you know that in some schools, the first year students there write Mathematics (which is not proper) and in some schools too, it doesn't exist.

I can only agree that this is pure wickedness. They just want to show that they're the best university with high standard of learning. It's rubbish..

But quote me anywhere, if OAU students are given the opportunity to write UNN MB exams, you'll see mass failure. Even the person with distinctions may not survive it. I keep asking myself; is it not the same topic, courses and same exam that's being conducted nationwide or are there medical students that write different thing.

Our Educational sector is in total shamble. The way they suffer students here eeh, it's alarming at a very high frequency. It's very obnoxious and barbaric.

just go to overseas and see how they treat medical students. Infact, as from 300l or less, medical students are expected to assist Surgeons in the theater but here; who born monkey..

Zoological country.

happy sunday my people

There is nothing about unn being the best school or whatever.. Even among federal universities, unn is regularly ranked behind oau, unilag, ui both by international rankings webrometrics et al and Common consensus. Besides when it comes to medicine.. Unn is not reckoned any longer with those schools. If those oau students ui students take that exam.. They will fare better than unn students did.even in quiz competitions among med schools unn is no where to be found while students from those schools constantly impress

Unn admitted too many students.. Failing them is a mechanism for controlling that

you ended up repeating the same statement I made......I will still repeat my statement...be it lecture or student fault....
From the result up there....UNN has the most strict admission process...... I will prefer to be treated by a doctor who graduated from UNN than OAU...standard matters a lot...not passing a medical exam as if na linguistics

Guy be reasonable. If unn have the 'most strict admission process ' as you claim, they should have admitted the best students .students that shouldn't have trouble passing.. ..for them to fail this bad shows following your logic that they actually admitted very poor students hence they have a very loose admission process that let's poor students in

Well that's your opinion.. Let's look at facts

Oau is historically known to be slow but that's changing..
No strikes now For more than a session now.. Between oau last strike and now

UI has gone on strike about 3 times (still currently on strike) by the time they resume, oau would be ahead of them or at par (calendar wise)

Ksu and lautech are still closed up

Unilorin. .the fastest (or amomg the fastest) federal university is just a semester ahead of OAU ..for all oau reputed slowness

I find it difficult to reconcile the sayings of certain individuals here and the realities on ground. on what basis are you comparing UI and OAU?UI has a better academic calendar than OAU,UI is fast becoming a fully fledged postgraduate institution with an dmission ratio of 65% postgraduate and 36% undergraduate, No university in Nigeria can attempt this especially in a school like OAU where a lot of MR's are lecturers. May i add that the university of Ibadan has produced the highest number of PHD graduates some of whom are lecturers in OAU.

When it comes to lecturers-student ratio, i dont think i have to compare statistics here
I finished from Ui in feb 2015 and finished NYSC in April 2016, You should ask my mates who went to OAU how NYSC is coming on.

UI is so merit driven that the present Dean of the faculty of Law is a lecturer from OAU, this is in a faculty that has lots of professors.That is yet to occur in OAU, the present Dean of the faculty of pharmacy was formerly in OAU. My point? UI attracts the best without disregard for merit or selfish egos.

While it is difficult to compare the values of their research papers and level of social impact, i take refuge in the international university ranking that has consistently placed UI ahead of OAU.

OAU is hard,unnecessary stressful and too traditional but UI is has direct approach to learning, the lecturers are student friendly, you can break barriers in UI if you are brilliant.

Note: Nigeria's educational system is noting to write home about but i rather not put OAU ahead of UI, i think Covenant might beat UI few decades from now

An addendum, that ife current dean of pharmacy studied in ife doesn't mean ife is not merit driven.. It's common knowledge ife has the best pharmacy school in the nation so it would naturally opt for it product to head it.. In the same vein ui college of Medicine is headed by a ui trained medical professor.

And comparing both schools..

UI medical school is rated the best in the country closely followed by oau unilag unn possibly uniben and abu

Oau pharmacy is the best in the nation
Ife law is rated ahead of ui. . Ui law is prestigious too
Ife engineering started ahead of ui and is rated better than it

I don't have enough data on the science rating of both schools to compare there..

Arts.. Ife and ui are both highly rated I would go for a tie there

Student comfort... Ui leads there

Overall... It's a close call and just as it is when rating messi and Ronaldo, a definitive answer is difficult to reach

This post also shows very little knowledge about ife. .
A ui student possibly you also claimed he was taught by 21 professors in his first session at ui. . Well I am not disputing that ui possibly has the highest number of professors in Nigeria but saying a lot of MRs are lecturers in oau and implying that ife has few professors is extremely fallacious..

Ife has 13 faculties. .in refuting your assertion I shall be using as my case study one of the smaller (in terms of students directly catered for size) faculties in oau.. The faculty of clinical Sciences.. This faculty caters majorly for the Part 4-6 medical students. . As at 2013, it had around 24-26 full professors.. (this can be verified by clicking on the staff page of that faculty webpage) . A certain number were also named professors in that faculty last year by the acting vice chancellor (this hasnt reflected on the webpage yet I believe) bringing the total number to around 30.. You can now imagine how many professors bigger and older faculties like science art et al would have.. . In my part one first semester

Zoo 101..2/3 of the lecturers were professors 1 doc
Ssc 101.. 1/3 of the lecturers were profs 1 doc 1 Mr
Chm 101..5 out of 7 of the lecturers were profs the rest docs
Phy 105... don't have the exact number but around 4-5 with only one Mr and the rest doctors
Bot 101....around 3 profs..

This brings to around 15-16 the total number of profs in my first semester at oau.. .

So while ui has the most number of profs in the nation.. Ife will place top 4 among schools with highest number of profs in Nigeria

Ronaldinnioh:
Go and ask about other schools. They have GS building which offer this courses(Electives SEO,SEE,SET,SER,SEL,SEM) and why must they keeping using all lecture venues without having theirs.

You are the one who did not graduate from OAU because law Students from part one to Four occupy HSLT C and Sontimes B. They occupy BOOC, Boob and Booa. My dear you are blind self and I doubt if you did attend OAU self. Ask MTH Students who offer MTH 201 and 202 which lecture theatre they normally Use? It's always HSLT C which is a Lecture venue that ought to be used by Health Science Students making them end up using Labs know as MDL's. My dear ask question and I think you are not a Student or a graduate of OAU.

Well about this, I must first make a comment on your online integrity which I believe will be enlightening..
On going through your chat history, one discovers that you have, at various times, claimed to be
1)a medical student at ui
2)a health care worker at Lagos University teaching hospital
3)a 2016 2-1 graduate of oau
One wonders what that says about the various 'facts' you post online.. Anyway back to the issue..
You posts are an excellent verification of the axiom 'a little learning (in your case knowlege) is a dangerous thing'

1)your submission that health Sciences students are forced to use 'old labs known as MDLs Due to mth 201 students using hsltC shows how acutely little you know of the scenario)

First MDLs stand for Multi disciplinary labs. . It is part of the college of health Sciences and is used for their practical sessions. It is not an 'old lab' as it was thoroughly renovated in 2015 by college Alumni.. And health Sciences students use it for practical sessions and not because hslt is unavailable. (you wouldn't expect practical sessions to be held in a lecture theatre would you?)health Sciences students are given priority regarding the use of hslts. . Other departments only use them when it is not currently in use by health Sciences students.. no one forces them out as you would have us believe

2)besides as for oau students in various faculties wandering about because they have no place to contain them is erroneous at best.. Every class at the begining of the semester is alloted a venue and time.. You might have seen students moving from one lecture to another holding at different venues and concluded they have no place to stay.. that's erroneous. Every faculty has lecture theatres which are mostly used by their students with other students also using it at certain times. . Law students lectures holding at various venues instead of a single venue is neither in it self a good or bad thing.. The main issue is that every lecture has a venue.. Ppl don't roam about

dharrey2012:
I had my BSc in OAU, it was not easy because it really was a rigorous ordeal. I am on the verge of completing my MSc programme in Ui. the truth is Ui teaches very well at all levels, OAU does not.
In OAU, you compete for everything with the best of the bests, which makes you wise up, and prepares you for anything life brings.

Ui is filled with babies, social life next to zero, they treat students like zombie that must be controlled, that sure doesn't happen in OAU.

From your submission, one can infer that you experienced oau undergraduate and ui postgraduate teaching methodology (not oau undergraduate and ui undergraduate or oau postgraduate and ui postgraduate).. your comparison therefore of oau and ui teaching systems is therefore bound to be faulty. . Here is why

1)you said ui teaches better than oau on all levels.. I can't see a viable premise on you make that assertion
Seing as you didn't experience ui undergraduate teaching methodology so as to be able to compare it to ife's or experience oau postgraduate teaching methodology so as to be able to compare it to that of ibadan's

Based on your experience.. You can only compare ui postgraduate teaching methodology (which you experienced) to oau undergraduate teaching methodology (which you also experienced) that comparison, you will agree with me is faulty Seing as most Universities up their game when it comes to teaching postgraduates relative to undergraduate teaching. . So my submission is.. You are in no position to make the assertion 'ui teaches better than oau on all levels) that's for someone who has experienced both systems in their totality to make. . You sir are not that person
