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.

missKiffy:
This is a prestigious school

You can say that again.Proud to be a Corona teacher

I think this new guy ADEKUNLE GOLD deserves a spot on the list with his unique style of song and two smashing hits; SADE and ORENTE.

YOU'RE MAD EXCEDINGLY.U'RE A GOAT WITH MONTAGE MADNESS SYNDROME.I'M SURE YOU MEANT YOUR FATHER IS MENTALLY SLOW STUP1D LUNATIC.USELESS SON OF A NON ENTITY.

He told you the bitter truth. Of all sources, it is sahara reporters you were able to quote. Now, let me educate you a bit because you didn't study computer science as it is very obvious from the way you made Clay's name so bold. Of course, it is an undisputed fact that Cray evented the first super computer the Cray 1 and other series but super computers could have different variants; it just refers to a machine that can process several calculations within a very minute time.

As for Emeagwali, he worked on a super computer known as CM-2(he didn't invent it); there was CM-1 before that time. There is something called "parallel processing"...a type of architecture used in computers in order to make it work faster (read more), that was the section of the CM-2 he worked on and he achieved the right result in the model that was further developed using that same CM-2 thus earning him the Gordom Bell Prize for that year.

The only issue is that his achievements was exaggerated particularly by people who don't read nor listen well. Did he invent the super computer? NO ( every knowledgeable person knows this). Did he work on a super computer? YES, he did and got a prize for his efforts on the CM-2 he worked on.

Karmanaut:
Google his website and read his acclaimed achievements.

That's the only true part of the story, however according to the charlatan the Gordon Bell prize is equivalent to the Nobel prize for computer science.
Spoiler alert: it doesn't come close.

Read his website to see the list of all his "achievements", a TL;DR is in on the first page, then maybe you'll see why he's considered a fraud.

Fine, one thing is common with the site, he boosts his ego but there was no where he called himself a Doctor the only issue is that when people call him "doctor" like the newspaper invite from Jamaica on the first page, he doesn't deny it, that's all! As for the father of internet and so on, he didn't claim he is, he just put them under related posts in which there is a likelihood his name pops up when such are read or discussed. His picture on the postage stamp, was that false too? I only see a man that is proud of his little achievements, nothing like fraud too and yes! He is an excellent mathematician too, went through some of his writeups. Cut him some slack!

Karmanaut:
Website owned by a Nigerian.
I think the owner used to wok for Sahara Reporters.
If you don't want that site, then this one is by a nairalander:
www.nairaland.com/19285/philip-emeagwali-media-hype

So, nairaland is now a source again? Huh? Fine, he was denied a Phd degree which isn't a new thing, happens even in Nigerian universities so, what exactly is your point? That he didn't win the Gordon Bell prize for his application in a model or what?

Karmanaut:
Because he is.
Read this exposè.

...And what the hell is elendureports? Huh?

Remove Emeagwali and Oyibo from that list pls. They are just intellectual fraudsters. Please read the article below:



Intellectual 419: Philip Emeagwali and
Gabriel Oyibo Compared
By Farooq A. Kperogi
Ask an average Nigerian to name the country’s most
famous scientists. In all likelihood, they would mention
“Dr.” (or “Professor”) Philip Emeagwali and Dr. Gabriel
Oyibo. This, in a way, is excusable ignorance.
After all, the great President Bill Clinton has been scammed
into undeservedly calling Emeagwali “one of the great minds
of the information age ” and the “Bill Gates of Africa.” And
such prestigious Western news organizations as TIME , CNN
and BBC fell for Emeagwali’s smartly orchestrated
intellectual fraud.
As for Dr. Gabriel Oyibo, he was for many years touted in
the Nigerian media as the great successor to Albert Einstein,
as a four-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics, and
as the inventor of the "almighty" GAGUT (God Almighty
Grand Unified Theorem), which he farcically calls “the
theory of everything.” On the basis of his comically
delusional intellectual fraud, Oyibo has been celebrated in
Nigeria as one of the greatest scientists that ever lived.
However, the elaborate intellectual fraud of Emeagwali and
Oyibo are now unraveling rapidly. SaharaReporters, the
enormously popular, muckraking diasporan citizen media
site, has done a series of exposés on the intellectual fraud
of Philip Emeagwali . At least two mainstream Nigerian
newspaper columnists have done the same in the last few
weeks. I'd had cause to call attention to the intellectual
chicanery of these characters in my July 15, 2006 Weekly
Trust column, then called “Notes from Louisiana,” which
can be found on this blog.
Oyibo and Emeagwali are certainly different in many
respects. But they are also similar in more ways than one.
First, Oyibo started out as a productive scholar who actually
published a number of peer-reviewed, scientific articles
before he degenerated into his current patently
psychoneurotic state (I will give evidence for my conclusion
shortly); Emeagwali, on the other hand, never had a Ph.D.,
is/was never a professor by any understanding of the
term, has never published in any peer-reviewed journal, nor
owned any patent—all contrary to his claims. However,
Emeagwali did win an actual award—the Gordon Bell Prize
— whose significance he has exaggerated beyond the
bounds of reason and decency.
Note, though, that Oyibo also claims to be a perennial
nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is pretty much
like Emeagwali 's fraudulent claims to being "a" or "the"
father of the Internet. The Guardian 's U.S. correspondent, a
certain Laolu Akande, is the biggest accomplice in Oyibo's
fraud. Until the last few years, the Guardian often reported
that Oyibo was among the top three candidates being
considered for the Nobel Prize in Physics. This intentionally
deceitful newspaper speculation was/is the basis for his
unearned popularity in Nigerian elite circles. I don't know if
this has changed, but when I was in Nigeria it was
customary to identify Oyibo in Nigerian newspaper
narratives as a "three-time Nobel Prize nominee in Physics."
In the Afro-romantic digital black diaspora, in fact, it is
usual to identify him as a four-time Nobel Prize nominee !
Now, the Nobel Committee does NOT disclose the identities
of the nominees for any of its prizes until at least 50 years
after the prize has been announced . How in the world
did Oyibo and the Guardian 's Laolu Akande know that Oyibo
was a nominee for the Physics Prize? In fact, Omoyele
Sowore, publisher of SaharaReporters.com and former
citizen reporter for the now tame and compromised
ElenduReports.com , unmasked this fraud years ago.
He sent emails to the Nobel Committee asking to know
if Oyibo had ever been a nominee for their Physics Prize. Of
course, they flatly disclaimed it. They said it was impossible
for anybody to know if he was a nominee for any Prize until
several decades after the fact.
So, in more ways than one, Oyibo is guilty of the same
intentionally fraudulent self-promotion that Emeagwali has
a dubious honor for. Like Emeagwali , he currently feeds on
this fraud since he, like Emeagwali, is effectively jobless
now. Plus, Oyibo stakes his claims to unparalleled scientific
genius on the basis of his ludicrously incoherent and insane
GAGUT theory, which hasn't been published in any peer-
reviewed scientific journal or book, although he has a
vanity, self-published book that he flaunts every time—
much like Emeagwali 's claims to having 41 patents, which
have turned out to be patents in sophisticated, intricately
multi-layered intellectual frauds.
But any one who has followed Oyibo 's life closely will agree
that the man needs help—seriously. The brother has lost it.
He has no job as I write now. He left the university system
as an untenured associate professor years ago. (Hmm....
Can you imagine a four-time Nobel Prize nominee in
Physics who no U.S. university or research institution
wants to touch with a barge pole?) If you need evidence of
Oyibo’s undisguised psychic imbalance, read his deleted
profile on Wikipedia , which he wrote of himself.
Here is a sample from the profile for your amusement:
“Honors and Awards: Professor G. Oyibo has been
recognized as being closer to GOD (intellectually and in
other ways), than any other human being because of the
GAGUT discovery. He has also been recognized by the
Nigerian Federal Government as Mathematical Genius
which was inscribed on a Nigerian Postage Stamp that was
issued in 2005. Professor G. Oyibo has also been
recognized as the Greatest Genius and the Most Intelligent
Human Being ever created by GOD. He has also been
recognized as the Greatest Mathematical Genius of all time.
Professor G. Oyibo has been recognized by the Nigerian
Senate, representing the entire population of Nigeria of over
200 million people, through a Senate Motion No. 151 page
320 presented in the Federal Republic of Nigeria Order
Paper on Tuesday, 15th March, 2005."
If the above is not proof of a man who is truly in need of
psychiatric help, I don't know what is.
But the greater concern for me, however, is that our hunger
for heroes has predisposed us to be easily susceptible to all
kinds of cheap intellectual frauds. By officially celebrating
Emeagwali and Oyibo, the Nigerian state has inadvertently
become an accomplice in intellectual 419. And by engraving
their images on our postage stamps, the Nigerian state has
unwittingly and permanently stamped deceit and false
pretenses (otherwise known as 419) on our national
consciousness—and on our international image. That’s a
shame.

Where in the article points to the fact that he was a fraud aside exaggerating that he was a nobel prize nominee? Why not debate his theorems and all?

ladokuntlad:
i strongly disagree as pertaining to this particular question above.
Why?
since some certain condition as been given so its already under a constraint, which cant make us say its going against gravity (-g) even at -g(going against gravity) we don't get our distance to b negative.
I stand to b corrected though.
Bt for dis particular question above.
d reason i gave is still very legit until someone comes here and give His/Her own clear reason

Well, I am yet to check out the question itself, just saw where you wrote it can't be negative. Will check out the question tomorrow.

@ Ladokuntlad, it is possible for height to be negative in physics particularly when an object is going up or down. If you get a negative height, it means the object is going against gavity( I.e moving up).
