Chivald:
Wow, this is no small feat. Congratulations to them all

LegendHero:
It’s no small feat but we can do better. Only 5 Nigerians in the top 100 list does not speak quite well. We should have like 20 people dominating that top list.

Other universities should buckle up and contribute meaningful things.

WannaHowzit:
A black South African 'slave' towering above all the Nigerians 😂

SA, 10 🇿🇦🏆 - NIG, 0 🥚🇳🇬

Rossikk:
Must everything be competition in your head?

It's like you have an inferiority complex, and need to constantly boost your ego as a result.

20 won't still be enough - 60 of the 100 are South African 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆 Talk about total domination!

Rossikk:
How many of them are blacks?

Just asking...

WannaHowzit:
More than your 5 blacks 🇳🇬👎🏾💩. Oh let me subtract Justin Paul coz he ain't no Nigerian, just a scientist in a Nigerian university. That makes just 4 Nigerians in the top 100 😂😂😂

Rossikk:
In the next few years Nigeria will be right up there.

A lot of investment is going to go into education, especially AI and Quantum Computing.

Rossikk:
Name them and list them so we can admire them too.

So long as they are black people we're good.

WannaHowzit:
You can find them where i found them - OP provided the link. See why you only have 4 people on the list - you can't think.

Rossikk:
I have just checked.

THERE ARE ONLY 4 BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS.

WHILE THERE ARE 6 NIGERIANS IN TOTAL. 4 NIGERIANS FROM NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES, 1 NIGERIAN FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITY, AND 1 NIGERIAN FROM A UGANDAN UNIVERSITY.

WannaHowzit:
Have you no shame, you've been independent since 1960, SA blacks since 1994 and were subjected to inferior education before. Look how they've grown in leaps and bounds since 😂😂😂

Anyway, Bongani Majoyi would be 3rd in Nigeria (despite inferior Bantu education)🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆

Rossikk:
THE NIGERIAN, ENO EBENSO, IS THE TOP GUY IN SOUTH AFRICA IF I'M READING IT CORRECTLY.

Also, South Africa has had universities since the 1880s while Nigeria's first university was established in 1960.

WannaHowzit:
Don't start with lies - Vilakazi and Mdluli are the top blacks 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆.
