You want to kill alumni be that. Don't you know AWO Hall is one of the largest (if not the largest) Hall of residence in Africa. That project will be too big for them to handle.
I think Awo Hall UI is actually the largest in Nigeria and west Africa

You tried, but made a few blunders.

Profs Olubunmo and Chike Obi became Professors the same day, hence they are both first Profs of Mathematics. I think a certain Prof Bodunde from Ekiti is the first Prof of Philosophy in Africa.

Prof Ojo(Ojo igbole from Ekiti) was the first Prof of Geophysics in Africa.
It's prof Peter O. Bodurin for philosophy.

it was a college. so if we are talking about 1st tertiary institution i will agree. but first university... it is UNN.

college and university are 2 different institutions
So university college London is not a university? ? cos it bears the same nomenclature as ui did before .

Wole Soyinka won Nobel, My hero Chwuku Emeka Ike or Cyprian Ekwensi or Chinua Achebe did not win, is it oyinbo using quota system as well? Make we hear word my broda all Eastern Govs are stealing you blind make you focus on that one first.
Abeg which record does jubril Aminu have in ui? Been hearing the shiit for a while, any evidence to back it up? Cos i am a student of ui and very close to medical students and they never for once spoke about any record. You can kindly shed some light on that

Iamzik:
I laugh when you say loads of Arabic people are Christians. How many churches are in mecca since we have loads of Christians there? Why did governments of those nations declare Islam as official religion? Arabic is the language of Islam unless you don't really know a thing about Islam. Why do imams have to read and memorize Arabic Quran and then interprete it for the followers at jumat? Can you be regarded as an Islamic scholar or become an imam without knowing Jack in Arabic? Ask yourself
Thank you jare my brother. They all keep saying xtian arabs as if their arabic islamic countries allow xtianity to thrive. You dare not conver to xtianity else you are killed but they know how to run to europe and america and claim the rights of worship of which their islamic countries would never grant non-muslims. The fact is, it is just a grand plan which they intend to do in a subtle way, by merging crk and irk it automatically undermines the basic teachings of both religion while they use the arabic language shiit to achieve their aim cos there is no way you will talk about arabic that you wont talk about islam. May God help and deliver us from this islamic govt and useless quasi-islamic country.
EducationRe: OAU Vs UI, Which Is The Best? by phillippiano(m): 9:30pm On Jun 16, 2017
Donnetimmy:
Interesting huh, I must say
Without being sentimental, I'm a student of OAU, but I respect UI a lot.
In terms of infrastructures: OAU
Research work: I'll give it to UI
Alumni: I can't tell
Academic Calendar: UI
Sociopolitical life: OAU

UI is ahead of OAU in most science related courses- the college of medicine in UI is the best in the country.

OAU however beats UI in law and hummanites. OAU law faculty alongside with UNILAG is the best in the country.

UI Postgraduate is unarguably the best in the country.

The two schools are really good, like someone said " The Messi and Ronaldo of Nigerian universities."
oau humanities better than ui? Please tell me another story. When we have the likes of the acclaimed ibadan school of history that produced erudite historians like Kenneth Dike, J.F Ade Ajayi, et all and the famous depts of english and linguistics , theology(now religious studies) that as produced the likes emeritus prof L.A Banjo, Wole Soyinka, Chrisopher Okigbo, Biodun Jeyifo(of havard university)etc. Ui's humanity school is Nulli Secundus!

Ogun State-born Oloruntoba Ogunfolaji leads the pack in this year’s West African
Examinations Council Academic Excellence Awards, CHARLES ABAH writes
Nineteen-year-old Oloruntoba Ogunfolaji has emerged the best scholar in the 2013
May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
The leadership of the West African Examinations Council honoured the lad alongside
two females on Thursday in Minna, Niger State. The females are Ifeoluwapo Fasola
and Maureen Anyanwu, both of who are natives of Oyo and Imo states, respectively.
For posting outstanding results, the trio received the WAEC’s prestigious National
Distinction and Merit Awards. They scored A1 in all their subjects.
However, Ogunfolaji is considered the overall best candidate having scored a total
grade of 666.6525 in eight subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
By the feat, the lad becomes the current holder of the esteemed award instituted by
the council in 1984 to encourage academic excellence.
Ogunfolaji, who attended the Sacred Heart Catholic College, Abeokuta, Ogun State
between 2007 and 2013, with examination number 4280232/098, also obtained A1 in
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Agricultural Science, Geography and Yoruba Language.
Born on October 26, 1995 to Mr./Mrs. SP Ogunfolaji, the award winner attended St.
Bernadette Nursery and Primary, Onikolobo, Abeokuta South Local Government Area,
Ogun State between 1998 and 2006.
The lad, whose feat has placed the Sacred Heart Catholic College on the WAEC
Excellence honours’ list, was the best pupil in his fifth and sixth grade in the school.
Following his success also, the college becomes the winner of the Omo N’oba Erediauwa
Coronation Trophy for producing the best male candidate in the May/June 2013
WASSCE.
Other laurels, awards and prizes in his kitty include the 2010 overall best in Junior
Secondary School Certificate Examination (obtaining nine As and four Cs), best in
JSSCE (NECO) in 2010 (10As and 2Cs), and the 2011 champion in African Gifted
Foundation Award in Mathematics.
Ogunfolaji, who represented the South West Zone in Uganda for the outstanding
achievement in African Gifted Foundation Mathematics contest in 2012, also
participated in the 2013 Robotics Academy competition.
He also clinched the third best position in the Shell Science Award in 2013 as well as
the best Yoruba Student Award in WASSCE. The Yoruba Education Resource Centre,
Lagos, organised the award.
The youngster is at present studying Medicine and Surgery at the nation’s premier
university, the University of Ibadan, Oyo State.
On the second position in the award is 17-year-old Ibadan, Oyo State-born Fasola. The
lass, who had her secondary education at the International School, University of
Ibadan, between 2007 and 2013, had a total score of 664.0075. Her WASSCE
registration number was 4310824/089.
She obtained A1 in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Agricultural Science, French and the Yoruba Language.
Her success enabled her school to become the holder of the Omo N’oba Erediauwa
Coronation Trophy for producing the best female candidate in the May/June 2013
WASSCE.
Born on July 8, 1997, Fasola, who attended the Junior International School, Oluyole
Estate, Ibadan between 1998 and 2007, won many awards, including the Prof. Olufemi
Bamiro and Prof. Ayodele Falase Awards, which earned her scholarship throughout her
senior secondary school education.
Fasola, who represented the International School at various competitions, was its
second best graduating pupil in the 2006/2007 academic session.
Like Ogunfolaji, Fasola is currently studying Medicine and Surgery at UI.
On the WAEC’s National Distinction and Merit Awards third position is Miss Anyanwu,
who attended the Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja.
The Mbaise, Imo State-born lass with a cumulative score of 656.5480 also posted an
excellent result in all her eight subjects.
Anyanwu, who sat for the examination with registration number 4020617/017, obtained
A1 in English Language, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, Agricultural Science and Geography.
Born on April 23, 1996 to Dr/Mrs. Emmanuel Anyanwu, the youngster who attended
the Montessori International School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, between 1998 and
2006 is also no stranger to academic success.
The 18-year-old not only emerged the overall best in her primary school, she also
secured admission on merit to the LJC in 2007.
Anyanwu, who throughout her stay at LJC was on the honours and merit rolls for
academic accomplishments, scored 12 distinctions and one credit in the Junior
Secondary School Certificate Examination in 2010.
To be considered for the 30-year-old distinction award, a candidate must obtain
Grade 1 in at least seven subjects, including English Language, Mathematics, one of
Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and one subject from any of the three sub-categories
of core subjects.
In addition, the candidate must obtain a minimum of Grade 6 in at least one subject
from each of the core subject sub-categories.
Candidates are considered under the merit awards only if enough participants do not
qualify for the distinction awards. The eligibility criteria for the merit awards are the
same as those of distinction awards, except that a candidate must obtain a grade not
lower than 2 in English Language.
The results of candidates eligible for an award should have been obtained at the first
attempt and at the same sitting. The grades would also have been obtained without
any hint of impropriety.
The first National Distinction/Merit awards were presented in Abeokuta, Ogun State
in 1985 to the winners in the Nov/Dec. 1984 SC/GCE, with Abdulkadir Sarki-Abba, a
pupil of Government Science School, Dawakin-Tofa, Kano State receiving the
excellence award.
Since the first presentation, findings by our correspondent showed that pupils from
Queen’s College, Yaba, Lagos, have won the prestigious award 10 times. By this
accomplishment, the school has become the highest-winning institution as well as the
highest recipient of the Oba Erediauwa trophy for presenting the best female
candidates.
Suleja Academy, Suleja is the second highest-winning institution, picking the prize four
times in 1992, 1994, 1997 and 2009, while the International School, Ibadan, Oyo State
has won it three times in 1987, 2000 and 2004.
Meanwhile, Queen’s College, Yaba has also won the Council’s Augustus Oyediran prize
six times, while Loyola Jesuit College, Wuse, Abuja has won it five times in 2002, 2003,
2004, 2005 and 2008.
While the PHCN Staff Secondary School, Jebba, Niger State won the second position,
El-Amin International School, Minna took the third position
