EXPLANATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS ON THE RANKING


The ranking judges university all over the world based on the size, impact and accessibility of their research works, measured across four main indicators as briefly described below:

Presence: refers to the total number of web pages a university has, including rich files (like pdf), according to google. This accounts for 5% of the overall rank.

Impact/Visibility: How visible an institution and its work out-put is on the web. The maximum indicator value obtained from two independent link information providers (ahrefs and majestic) was utilized. The top 20 linking domains and their corresponding back links were excluded from the calculation, for reliability. Weight: 50%.

Openness/Transparency: Utilizes data from the google scholar citation of an institution. (Weight = 10%).

Excellence: Statistics of the top 10% most cited papers by discipline for a five year period of 2010 to 2014. Weight: 35%.

Harvard University (USA) emerged overall tops in the world once again, after outstandingly ranking first in just two indicators; unlike the previous edition when they were ranked first in all indicators.

University of Capetown (South Africa) maintained top position in Africa while also moving up to the 303rd position in the world.

We saw their secret during the last UTME where CCTV captured their malpractices. They can't excel in a free and fair environment in the so called WAEC leading states.

ofai:
Igwe may you live long.

But the will of the people stands.

Anyway, no one expects any traditional leaders to openly support kanu methods. I like the politics.

Enjoy your beer and schnapps.

Obi1kenobi:
Interesting self-contradiction in the bolded. You decry the appeal to Western liberal values of tolerance and inclusiveness and eschewing hate speech. Then in another part of your long verbiage, you appeal to those some Western liberal values in opposing "tyranny".

Mind you, contrary to a lot of the claims I see, Kanu's past utterances and subversive activities would be more than enough to get him prosecuted on incitement and treason even in the liberal West. It's a miracle that the authorities have left him unscathed even as he courts more conflict and repeatedly violates his bail conditions.

I like how you compared 21st century Nigeria with 18th century America. Please, go the whole way. Take up arms against the ruling government as they did against the British. It's not just by internet chest-beating and insults. Deluded, unfortunate souls. What really gets me is despite the fact many of you agitators don't even know the name of your local government chairman in your places of origin or even residence to demand transparent, accountable and competent governance, you think your Biafran rebranding automatically solves all your problems.

Okonkwo22:
You know a hater after reading the first paragraph. Dear writer, you are a hater of Nnamdi Kanu. He is the Leader of millions of Igbos and other South South people, whose leader are you? Nnia Nwodo, the so called Ohana Eze ndi oshi na ama can't even organize a rally. They should try it, let's see who honours it. Please stop being jealous of he who God has made King over Biafrans.

Obi1kenobi:
There's no revision in pointing out the past utterances of IPOB spokespeople and their supporters.

YOU should wise up. Because the average ipob has no time to prove anything to those who don't see anything good about them.

Nigeria isn't working. It may take two steps forward, but then, it would later take five steps backwards.

If you are not tired, others are.

IPOBians​ were once patriotic Nigerians, they once sang the national anthem proudly. Because they believed things would get better. Rather, things have gotten worse. Why attacking them?

Obi1kenobi:
Another vacuous cretin that talks utter twaddle without following the news.

Another cretin too talking about how I'm feeling "wise", "intelligent", "educated" blah blah blah.....even when I've made no such claims. It's like you cretins just read someone who can spell and somehow it muddles up your thick heads and you start exposing your insecurity.

DerideGull:
I have concluded that freedom of press is the worst drawback of democracy. To compound the worst situation is the idiotic, ill-educated and silly press. Right to freedom does not come cheap. There are acceptable perils one or group of people had to endure in pursuant of freedom. If the idiotic federal government of Nigeria does not allocate the proper resources to Igbo nation due to boycott of census, I say so be it. The fact you agreed that federal government main objective of nation census is to determine how much hand out it has to give to states raise the stake to fight for independent Biafra where census shall be used to plan and construct the economy of the state rather than handout process. What a goon of a country.

Most idiotic Nigerians will readily render the name of USA in their silly attempt to be clever during national debates. Today, the foolish Nigerians have latched onto phrases such as hate speech and other craps to tickle their moronic fancy. Yet they forgot that when USA was fighting for its independent, all manners of so-called hate speech and outright derogatory derision rained liked heavy rain. British was subject to all forms disdainful name calling and insults. At the end, arguably the world's greatest country was born.

The IPOB does not conduct election in Nigeria and it absolute idiocy to remotely insinuate that Nnadi Kanu and IPOB said election will not hold in Anambra state in particular and entire Biafran entity in general. It is right of the silly agency responsible for election in Nigeria to conduct one and it is also to right of the electorate to participate in it. IPOB has turned another page of its political arsenal, this time boycott which is an acceptable universal stance against tyranny, by simply requesting the electorate, the Biafrans, not to participate in the election. The IPOB does not want to destroy Nigeria unless Nigeria wants to destroy itself. The need for self determination is and inalienable fundamental right all human beings can exercise.

Let ask the goons that wrote the silly article if Igbo land or Biafra has the type of economic gateway situated in the defunct western region and northern region of Nigeria. Today, there are Lagos and Abuja in the defunct western and northern regions respectively. What so economic gateway had silly federal government of Niger-Area created in the defunct eastern and midwestern region respectively? For any dialogue to even remotely thought about, there must be Lagos or Abuja in the defunct eastern and Midwestern region respectively. I do not want moronic dingbat to come here lecture on USA. The south fought with union and since of the civil war, the south had produced more Presidents of USA than union. In addition, the south had the largest seaports and busiest airports when compared with the union. Can this be said about the cesspit called Nigeria since after civil war? At this stage of things, there no need to spend to time on reasonability because in Nigeria actions speak louder than thoughts.

eodavids:
You should wise up rather. If what Kanu is doing interests you, explain why?

You should quite know that petty abuses and rallies cannot result into separating Ndigbo from Nigeria. Rather, it will lead to hatred of Ndigbo by the Non-Igbos.

Poser: if Kanu's/Ipob's actions will actually not give Ndigbo Biafra (which you know is a fact), what is it that interests you in their actions

Are you saying you delight in futility??

Wise up now!!!

eodavids:
My bros, are you Onye Igbo?

If you are one, good.
Perhaps you really meant what you typed up there. But you should have a rethink.

Why?

Because the security, safety, survival and general welfare of Ndigbo should should be our priority now, not playing the secession politics that is capable of endangering the general welfare of Ndigbo.

Let someone tell Nnamdi Kanu that what he is doing will not give Ndigbo Biafra. Rather, his actions will alienate Ndigbo from their entitlement as the third most populous Tribe in Nigeria.

Let not Ndigbo, who hitherto were known for wisdom and bravery become foolish because of Nnamdi Kanu.

gabe:
like I said, please feel free to insult your way to biafra. It is a very productive way of nation building. The more people you insult, the more they accept your idea.

Obi1kenobi:
Really? What has he achieved? Rousing touts all over Igbo land? Tompolo and Asari Dokubo did the same. They're billionaires now with mansions, private jets and yachts and building universities while their hungry devotees are still impoverished touts.
That your poor education can't grasp simple English is not me "impressing" myself. Okpo.

Kanu educated and informed? So what is his educational background? That he impresses gullible zombies like you doesn't make him impressive. To the rest of us sane folks, he's a blabbering tout. And a delusional person that claims the government "gave him" him 5-states Biafra. Most sane people at that point would have known they were dealing with a deranged cretin, but that is hardly enough to dissuade his army of touts and thugs.

What does calling a referendum have to do with Kanu's unguarded utterances that insult other tribes, call for genocide against Yorubas, call Northerners cattle, insult the Nigerian government and call for the president's death, claim the lands of other group in his mooronic Biafran maps, incite crowds against constituted authority etc? What does all that have to do with calling for a referendum? Ewu.

gabe:
You see why igbo elders don't take you serious? You insult anyone who doesn't agree with you. Nation building is the outcome of serious exchange of intelligent ideas, not venting your frustrations on those who don't agree with you. Come and insult your way to biafra lets see.

sheyinoni:
I knw,that's another veteran will rise that's the reason why it baffles me that government pays too attentions to this struggle,jus simply ignore the agitators and ficus on improving the economy for as long as possible,only should get involved wen its turning out from being peaceful to violent, carrot and stick kinda thing. because I knw if ur protest continues to grow without government doing anything ,two things are likely to happen, 1)its all starts to fade away 2) it becomes violent. Hopefully the later doesn't happen because it will jus give room for the government to really destroy things

Obi1kenobi:
Drug pushers that disgrace the Igbo name are far more likely to fit into the IPOB tout philosophy. Stop projecting your pathologies and moral debasement on me.

And I recognize a charlatan when I see one. Nnamdi Kanu is a populist charlatan with a messianic complex. Any cursory study of his posturing, and tendency to use "I" and "me" when he speaks fits perfectly the model of a self-promoting charlatan. He's also a deluded efulefu carrying around Jewish garb to increase his mystique and making himself and his followers and by extension Igbos a laughingstock. He has no tact, subtlety or diplomacy to leverage his popularity and platform for more inclusive rhetoric and goals, instead of aggravating Middle-Belt and Niger-Delta people by claiming their lands and attracting more resentment to Igbos.

I have no problem with secessionist agitations on its own merits. I have a problem with zombies who sheepishly parrot the crazed ramblings of a self-promoting charlatan.

omenka:
Oh please, you are just a deluded illiterate who thinks one owes him some apology for their opinion.

I doubt your immediate family thinks much about how much you matter even to them let alone me.

Get some good education and work on your diction. You make nonsense of english language and commonsense whenever you speak.

Bye.

sheyinoni:
The answer is yes,
Reason is that most of the agitators or die hard supportors are online rather than the street,the ones on the street will get fed up because no high profile personality is physically supporting,and trust me the more time KANU spends in jail the weaker it gets,because there will be money sharing and land grabbing and lot more jus to bribe off the remaining noise makers jus like in the case of nwazuirike,then for like another decade no agitation will be heard,after that another person with well spoken English that school in Europe will rise again wen there probably chaos in the nations economy,all am saying is that I think deeply the economy is a major contributor to this agitations,I Dont think if everybody don chop to fullest go still dere patrol for street rather Dan to go he or her shops to sell market.

gabe:
What elders see when sitting, children won't even if they climb trees. A landlocked Biafra without ready resources to sell for money is a recipe for disaster. Biafra will need money to pay for all Nigerian installations in the area: power stations, roads, federal medical centres, universities and other federal institutions etc. Biafra without the SS states only has coal in enugu. World power dynamics is moving towards gas as a cleaner source of energy. Coal abounds everywhere else. Look at all the rich men in the SE. They make money from outside to bring. You want to run biafra on diaspora funding?
