None of the towns/villages you mentioned share any boundary with the campus/ school.

You just used google. Just admit you dont even known anywhere near the town.

For those of you shocked to see foreigners amongst the students,

Nigeria experienced so much boom from oil back then,

They built world class standards universities,don't be shocked most of those buildings are still used till this date without any form of proper maintenance,and they are still standing strong.

Even though most were over bloated budgets,

Dollar was practically raining in Nigeria back then

Foreign countries did not have such level of funds to invest in institutions,they had to come to Nigeria to tap and learn,
Infact they were always amazed at how rich Nigeria was.

Na then IMF begin the ojoro

The rest is history.

Mention the towns and villages sharing same border with the school. If a student can know them, then an indigene of the town can know more.

It is obvious you dont even know the town, talk more of being an indigene of the town

Obukpa is the major contributor of land to what is today known as UNN, so he is right there, part of the stadium and boys hostels area through engineering faculty to Vet. Medicine down to Odim are all land of Obukpa, even Nru shares boundary with the school.

My Alma mata. Noble are thou looks and thou ideals!

Sublime in every realms of learning.


Couldn't recognize most structures here though as the school was still at its developmental stages when this pics were taken.

Nostalgic good old days. Missed your unique sceneries and topography.

Will surely visit this December.i

Unfortunately, it seems the school stopped developing infrastructurally, somewhere along the line. Old, dilapidated buildings, hostels that look worst than Nigeria prisons, dirt littered everywhere, very analogue and archaic system.

I sincerely hope things improve with time, so the great Lion’s Zone can reclaim its place among the nation’s Ivy League universities like UI, ABU, Uniben and OAU….

….kudos to the lecturers though - dedicated and given solely to scholarship and learning. Quite friendly and easy going…. Infrastructure and welfare needs to improve, at least, to encourage them
Abeggi, Stop your yarns and insults.

How do you say UNN is not among the nation's Ivy league schools like UI,ABU,Uniben,OAU etc? What joke is that??

I don't trust you know UNN. Hence your derogatory remarks about the school.

Not only were there foreign students in the school, foreigners too were lecturing in the school. My dad and mum were lecturers then in the school and that was were i was born and brought up. Were i had my university education.

The country was still good then.
Lies. Which year was that. I want to know.

We have so many impersonators claiming products of Nsukka.

Great Lion and Lionesses.

HillTop and Odenigwe via Ejima Junction.
Nostalgic memories. Medical Center was our sure plug for fetching water and for charging our phones and laptops.

Hope I did a good close guess of these areas. Please those with good remembrance should correct it.
UNN changed oh even as a super lion, I find it easy to know these places because 5 years I spent in university isn't 5 days. First picture is back of Okpara hostel before Belewa hostel was built at the back of it. Second one is that field freedom square and that building you see with a slope ceiling is Mary slessor which was later rebuilt and added more structure. The third one is old pharmacy block close to carva building and the last 4th picture is Magret Ekpo refectory. I miss days at the den.

Obviously, you have issues with comprehension and it is not my job to teach you the basics. As for knowing UNN or not, I am very sure, that you have not being to any of the aforementioned universities except UNN - so you have no idea how a decent school should look like…..

Post UNN hostels here let’s see. From Odili (PG Hall) to Nkrumah to Alvan Ikoku to Njoku hostel…. Post them let’s see. You can also post thee lecture/classroom halls….

Go out so your eyes go open and you go see how university suppose look like

Lol. I was born and brought up in the school environment. Can't expose myself here. Do your research. Those streets inside the school, like Cartwright etc, which Nigerian bears those names? Start from researching the names of the HOD's of different departments in the school from inception,so as to clear your doubt.

Be humble enough to accept what you dont know, and learn.

That guy is not from Nsukka, he just here run down the school as maybe, he couldn't make the schools cut off marks when trying to gain admission into the school.

People always tends to castigate what they can't have.

You don’t know anything about Nsukka

Obukpa has boundary through Odim and vetinary

Orba has through Africa farm



Even if you spent 4 years there

Many of us were born inside the school in the early 90’s
