Anyways it is your headache and you don't have to like me. You insulted me first and i responded,i have not committed any crime.

lafex: Am proud to be an ABU alumnus. But why my faculty(engineering) not in the pics

Now i know this is prevalent in ABU's products.

I've been vindicated.

Mogten: LOL @degrade. Funny how in an attempt to glorify your school, you make it sound like ABU is some second rated institution to it. Looks like you're using this thread to massage your already inflated ego. You're the benefactor after all. Clap for yourself.

Go to the first page of this thread and read through the posts of your folks from ABU. You should have a rethink.

^i was online and active then.


That was easy to notice.

[quote author=Ruxy_G]lol......after spending ages to regroup, here u r, blabbering as usual[/quote]Do you expect me to spend the whole day on this forum?


Just listen to yourself. .

Tolexander: gbenga, he don do!
No kill people for here!

Oga mi, these guys are just quite stubborn and unrepentant. They had to degrade OAU just to drive silly facts and score cheaps points.


It's fun doing this.

Eseose9: lol don't mind her,
her level of ignorance is alarming! i dey even help her dey shame.

She is ABU's product and her colleagues here didn't even bother to restrain her.

asala1: Please tell me one single research work that has been patented by any Prof. presently in O.A.U, before I start taking Nigerian education serious.

Oga, pls visit my links.


Feed your eyes. You would get tired of patents soon.


Start thinking of your next criterion.

asala1: Just mention one. I know Prof. A. Nok of Biochemistry A.B.U. Zaria.

I know you folks just won't shut up.

I could go on.


I told you, ABU is not close at all.

benebaby77: see d way u killed english here.... U surely emblem of your school. You will still battling with GENS 103 if u are in ABU

Are you for real?


Do you think this post you just made is void of errors?





You are one of ABU's product, right?

Jarus: My honest take on ABU-OAU debate.

AESTHETICS: I have been to both school. I finished from OAU, have a sister that finished from ABU, but had also been to OAU, and confirmed OAU is more beautiful. I think OAU is better. OAU has more eye-popping structures, ABU structures are mostly ordinary, but I think they do well in terms of maintenance of their environment, lawns etc. If OAU was how it was when I left in 2006, I will say ABU has better maintenace culture. But I was there again last year and saw that they've really improved in that aspect too. I was surprised to see the lawns better maintained, etc. We should also not forget that OAU lays claim to being the most beautiful university in Africa unchallenged(and used to be actually, until recently when it becomes arguable). If it wasn't, this epithet would not have survived for so long. In fact, it was rated the 25th most beautiful estate in the world in 1985 or so. We can not say all this are just hype by OAU alumni. It must have substance for it to have endured so long. I think it is only in this our generation that the comparison begins to surface. Over all, I think OAU beats ABU in terms on beauty.

LAND MASS: I used to think OAU had the biggest land mass, but I have been confronted with convincing evidence to give this to ABU. Although, this cannot be confirmed by just mere visit that I did, but I think wiki entry is sufficient. Wiki says ABu has the largest land mass. Mohammed Haruna, the Nation columnist, also described it as such in his tribute to ABU at 50. Another testimony to the fact that OAU trumps ABU in terms of beauty is, all articles that eulogise ABU with great superlatives, from wiki entry to Mohammed Haruna's tribute to school's official articles, did not mention it as being the most beautiful, but conveniently hammered on it being the largest in sub-saharan Africa. It is only in informal gossips like this that we compare ABU with OAU in terms of beauty. Also, I don't think OAU students dispute ABU having a larger land mass. So, it is indisputable that ABU trumps OAU in land mass.

ALUMNI: I think ABU and UNN have the richest alumni list in Nigeria. But the reason is actually no brainer: While the North and east had respectively ABU and UNN only in the golden generation of scholarship in Nigeria (60's-70's), the West had UI, Unilag and OAU to share its bright minds. So, taken individually, I think ABU has the most intimidating list of alumni in Nigeria, followed by UNN, and then by UI, Unilag and Ife in no order. The first graduate president of Nigeria, Yar'adua, for example, is an ABU alumnus. I don't want to start rolling out others, but I am personally convinced ABU trumped OAU in terms of intimidating alumni

RECENT PRODUCTS: As is evidenced from this thread where products of OAU and ABU are murdering grammar in an embarrassing fashion, it is obvious that both schools, like many other Nigerian schools, are losing it. I am a product of OAU and of course know many very sound products of OAU of my generation, but I know very good guys from ABU too, smart guys.

ACADEMICS: I think down here, we underrate ABU. Forget about Boko Haram, forget about the general perception about the north, ABU has always been and is still in the same class with the UIs, OAUs, UNNs and Unilags of the south. I have studied products of the school and I make bold to say they compete well with us.

Conclusion: I did my first degree in OAU. I am a great fan of OAU and believe OAU brings out your potential more than any other school in Nigeria. If I were to do first degree again, I will still easily choose OAU. I may not be able to argue that OAU is the best school in Nigeria, but if I were to advise younger ones, I will tell them to try OAU, not only because of what they will learn in classes but what they will learn beyond classes on campus campus. But ABU ranks second in terms of my personal respect. They have very quality lecturers. I wont mind taking a second degree in ABU.

Oga jarus, just tell these ABU folks here to stop using OAU as their reference frame. The thread was derailed for this same reason.

I had to stop replying, but you too are bringing the frontlines again.

hadizadeezy: tell him you dont knw rather than applyin importance to nothing

Stop quoting me. I know you aren't that bright.

Seyixyz: BIG FAT LIES..We hav consistently remained in d top 5 for ages..I wil excuse ur ignorance..Say thank u..Proudly an ABU Alumni

TOP five for ages? WTF!
UI, OAU, UNILAG, UNILORIN, UNIBEN
have been more consistent that any other schools. I don't even need to tell you this a fact, before you start begging for the criteria.

asala1: Please tell me one single research work that has been patented by any Prof. presently in O.A.U, before I start taking Nigerian education serious.

It's suprising you don't know that OAU is far ahead in terms of leading research. Go find out, don't let me spoon feed you.

misterh: But there is an existing thread about OAU structures by Okija_juju. Creating another one will lead to duplication thereby contravening a Nairaland's rule.

The pictures posted on this thread are NOT without special effects. Okija_juju took his time, visited the school and provided plain images.

There is a whole lot of difference.

Mogten: Highly Subjective. There's no generally accepted measure of academic standard in Nigeria... If you could place them on an equal footing and shun bias..., only then can we judge.

Stop trying so hard to defend what is not.

dayo23: Bro i respect you, but dont talk like dis abeg........Pro wole soyinka is field of literature while Prof Gabriel oyibo is Science. you wan compare science and Art? Beside d guy was not comparing them but was just stating him and you should be proud naija has someone like that. #IrepFutminna

There are also nobel awards for the science field, why didn't he exploit that?

Orlando Owoh: Do you know OAU produces the most radical and best lawyers? See them: OCJ Okocha and Rotimi Akerdolu (two former NBA chairmen and class of 1977), Femi Falana, Fred Agbaje, Fatou Bensouda (Chief Prosecutor of ICJ), Itse Sagay, Fati Lami Abubakar, Akin Olujimi, Mike Ozekhome, etc?

I think it's time we start naming.

hadizadeezy: and whos dat?

You aren't even that informed. were you not the one who said this?

hadizadeezy: pls stp educating him

tunex23: He did wat no mathematician has done and he won several international award for his works in the field of mathematics, He even went as far as superceding that of Sir albert einstein but it was controversial and we all know if Prof Gabriel oyibo was a white man he do be recognise than Einstein by now. Right now he his undisputed champ as far as mathematics and physics is concern.

Forget it bro. You can't compare him to a nobel laureate who is also a black man.

mathematician: well experienced=tautology .... Refurbish your grammar first

Mogten: Nigga, you're dumb!!! that an ignoramus like yourself could be found in the "progressive" south is testament to the fact there are top notch unis in your supposed "backward" North. What exactly are the yardstick to your analogy as regards academic excellence? All I see up there are the opinion of a myopic skew-sighted t.wat. Come state how ABU lags behind those Southern unis and have your a.ss whipped!!! Ko da me ka zo, mun fi ka.

Would you engage me nicely?

I've only stated well established facts. If you problem with them, bring your own facts or disprove mine.


It's that easy.
