Are you sure you click that link cos I just did and I got the same info Op updated

The link leads to the website of a mushroom blog and not the NUC website.

I'll b resuming @ 10 soon...you seem to speak well of the school...what about their quite new management college...
plus u speak well of d hostel...but I realize many students prefer to stay off camp...

Honestly, I have not seen any hostel in Naija uni that compares to it but the downside is that it is not sufficient for all the students. I know several times, private investors have tried building more but I do not know why schools usually turn them down. Maybe, they do not want the students to spend so much if they do.

I do not really know much about Management there. In my time, only sciences but I guess the love of money has made the school diversify now into other departments and Colleges but those doing management related courses seem to be enjoying it. Send a PM so I will give you the contacts of at least one person in that College (a 5 dot student).

1wolex85:
I dont know o, engineering used to have most of the professors coming in from U.I and OAU. I really dont know any other college that had as much. Wait, is it FST?

CSC, in my time, we had a couple of those from 1 particularly in mathematical related courses. At a time, we were taught by the then HOD of mathematics department at 1.

1wolex85:
You most likely studied engineering in unaab

No, take a second guess.

okenne:
@op are u kidding me,that LASU is place ahead of FUTO,FUTA,UNN,UNIZIK,dis is d joke of d century,pls wake up

The list is a hogwash. Do not take it seriously.

mrphysics:
what's Unilag school fees for masters degree sir.Tnks

130k+. 150k should be able to take care of the fees for almost all courses.

ibadanfinest:
Then the mod who push this to the front page didn't do a good job. The quoted source is a secondary source not the NUC itself or a reputable news agency.

Exactly.

ibadanfinest:
Didn't find it on their website too. Maybe its in their bulletin though.

It is not there either, read through everything.

The mods have brought this trash to the front page...anything for traffic. Smh

ProudOlodo:
Well said. Self development makes Nigerians more than their institutions. I remember a friend in his lamentation once said computer science in 9ja shld be called "math science" . The system is compromised such that our institutions prioritise issuance of certificates by all means over upholding a standard. Regrettably, people make up that "system", both the 'defaulter' and the 'faulted'. At least, I can say that much about Nigerian unis, unlike what holds beyond our borders.

Exactly!

FrancisTony:
I agree with the bolded.
Anyone that wants to read Computer science should attend APTECH or any other computer Professional schools.

Yeah and then get the certificate from a university to back it up but that is a free advert oooo for that company you mentioned. Some of my mates went there before studying computer science and they just shake their heads at the lecturers when they teach with their evasive techniques.

ProudOlodo:
Lol. I just feel most judgements are made based on personal experience which is subject to what appeals to each individual. I don't deny that there are a measure of truth in these accounts/ratings or that they can make sense when summed up

Yeah, you are right. Moreover, one thing I have learnt is that in Nigeria, it does not matter the school you go to provided it is recognized. What matters most is self development and ability to prove yourself because most of them only offer certificates. Infact, computer science should be scrapped from almost all universities including 10 which I went to.
Moreover, I have met a couple of friends from the East UNN,,UNIZIK etc and they are so sound particularly in Engineering. The point is it depends on where one has the experience. I can only speak for schools I have been to and experienced.

emekakelvin:
are you serious? I just what to know.

About what? 10 has more academic high handedness than 1 and 2. Most of the lecturers that taught me from 1 do not set application based questions...they may have a book, practice all exercises in the book and they pour it back for you in the exam hall. 1 is academically easier, 2 is slightly overrated, 10 is like a diamond in the dirt that has not been found.

ProudOlodo:
You're right, I've wtinessed several arguments over uni comparison that went overly sour. You should consider running commentary on Nigerian unis

Yeah@ going sour even with my own sisters that attended Unilag. I later went there for Msc and do not seem to be impressed.

ProudOlodo:
You seem to have such cross-institutional experience. Personally, I hardly reckon with this NUC list. I don think I have enough special respect for one uni in Nigeria to think it well exceptional over others. I just basically put them all on same pedestal...except for some funny ones I won't dare put on that pedestal

Ye, I do. I follow up on almost all, friends are scattered all over, my family is a mix of a couple of them too. Generally, you can place a couple of them on almost the same standard particularly the top tier ones...UI,IFE,UNILAG etc but I can tell you that 10 is far better than most of these ones in a lot of aspects.

Moreover, disregard this news, it is fake. All these hungry bloggers that just want to catch attention knowing fully well that majority of Nigerians active online are youths and will always want to check out their school's performance..

FrancisTony:
Saying 10 is better than 2, questions the authenticity of your post.
How did you arrive at the conclusion? On what basis?

Most of the lecturers in 10 graduated/ moved from 1. I have been a student of both(2 and 10). Read my post again...not in all ramifications. I said academically; quality of teaching, follow ups and all.10 is also more organised and there is a better welfare. Moreover, 10 has a better learning environment and is far neater, the best hostel in 2 does not come close to the best in 10(6 in a room,3 reading tables and chairs,2 bathrooms,1 toilet, 6 wardrobes, i.e you do not go out of the room to have a bath, constant water supply, refrigerators in kitchen, air conditioned hostel study rooms, air conditioned common rooms with cushioned chairs etc). I think 2 has a better funding though for facilities which 10 does not seem to lack also. 2 has a better and well organised Alumni. I have been following NUC ranking all year round and I can tell you that this list is fake. A major factor that always make 1 rank very high is usually the number of Professors and researches carried out which is one of the criteria NUC uses.

FrancisTony:
2 & 10 are different institution & handle less similar disciplines unlike other institutions.
How can you compare fashion designing with catering?
10 lacks College of Medicine and its allied courses, faculty of Law and probably Arts(?).
2 on the other hand, doesn't have faculty of Agriculture which is the pivotal reason 10 was established.
What is your point?

You are right, 2 offers more courses but that is not part of the criteria used in judging as al universities cannot be same with respect to course work. I know they use yardsticks like number of professors, student/lecturer ration, number of published work/ research etc but not the nature of school/ number of subjects offered.

Etfash:
I attended 1 & 2 and in that order (First and Second degrees). Personally, I will say both schools have similar standard of education but, i prefer Unilag. My reason is simple: You are shown what to do with what you know in Unilag!

I have been taught by a couple of lecturers in 1 and I am doing a second degree in 2 but I can authoritatively tell you that 10 is better than both academically. The list is fake anyway, believe iit at your own peril.

lordkay10:
The National University Commission (NUC), has released its annual university rankings and named University of Ibadan in Oyo state as the top tertiary institution in Nigeria.



The body, which is responsible for accreditation of schools, put University of Lagos in second place and rated Covenant University as the best private university.

Below is the 2015 Top 100 NUC University Ranking in Nigeria.

There is nothing like this on NUC website. Where did the mushroom source you quoted get its information from?

MathsChic:
[b][/b]
Lol I'll look forward to that.

Keep your fingers crossed.

MathsChic:
Wow! That's cool. I do like hearing dbanj playing it.

Don't worry, I will play for you someday

MathsChic:
Hmm... that's impressive. Why did u take it up?

I like the harmonic sound inherent in it when it is particularly used to play hymns and folklore. It also has an anticipatory progression and a good rise and fall rhythm that makes one want to listen to the next line of sound.

MathsChic:
Btw, that's weewee chu thing is the funniest thing I've read in years.
Meanwhile, harmonica is cool. That's what dbanj plays isn't it? You really play it?

Exactly, very funny stuff. Yeah, I try, I play it (self taught), not as good as Dbanj though

Mr Tadeus, please what is the cost of a very clean 2010 Toyota Camry XLE full options with a very low mileage to my doorstep in Lagos?

MathsChic:
Haha
Bring out your guitar na

. In this case, I will have to go buy it newly; that's one of the musical instruments I don't even like, the play seems a bit complex with the moving of the fingers and striking a string that's being depressed. We will manage the harmonica(mouth organ) if you don't mind....weewee chu. lol

Ramires appears drunk in that pic.

MathsChic:
Loool. Crazy joke.
Why is Nkiru resisting a harmless WEEWEE CHU if it's just a song??

Let's do WEEWEE CHU

@OP, companies do test for HIV also, I know that for sure even Government establishments. When I got a government job, I was referred to a government hospital to do medicals and I got the report back which I was supposed to take back and I saw all manner of tests on the slip and it was even clearly stated on the report that I was HIV negative.Although, most reports are usually confidential between the employer and the hospital, I know for sure that they discreetly test for HIV and discriminate against those that have the disease even though it is wrong.

I have never gone for HIV test because in the last few years, I have done medicals with three different organisations and all turned out alright but if it is reported that I failed medicals or do not get back from a company after medicals, then I would be seriously worried as well and personally go for all necessary medical tests to ascertain if all is well.

You are a foool for going to date a supposed 27 year old man at 17. I am sure the girl in question wasn't even disvirgined by that man. What did you think he wanted from you before? Marriage? You went to his house, his friend was there, he definately took you to the room, you followed him like mumu. Did he tear your clothes? The writer of that message is an eediot and whoever calls this a rape is a co-eediot. Useless girls everywhere.

Gassa007:
Is there anything secret about the Fees,why not just let us know about it too

Nothing secret about it bro just that I am not sure if it is okay to spill it here.

missKiffy:
How much is their school fees, let me knw if I can afford to send my kids there when I start having children

Hahahaha, there is nothing God cannot do.You can send a PM, will give you full details.

@OP, so much inferiority complex in your post, must you include yoruba in your title? Until people like you who think they are secojnd fiddle to the yorubas starts having confidence in yourself, the better for you.
