Abeg na wch our Obahiagbon go na

. Greatest Uniben!

In view of this, UNILAG stands at number 1

SonOfEl:
OP, you are wrong. this is why:

1. UI started awarding degrees in 1965 after it cut its umbilical cord from London University. achebe, soyinka and co who graduated before had no degree from UI, because then, it was a college affiliated to London. it was called the UNIVERSITY (of London) COLLEGE IBADAN.

2. ABU has more of quantity than quality when compared to UI, UNN, and arguably UNIBEN. a lot of its alumni are not internationally reputable. No offense though, ABU is strong, solid, and boasts of some of the best alumni Nigeria can offer.

3. UNN started awarding degrees in 1964. it was the first school to award degrees with Nigerian alumni, hence its name University of NIGERIA, Nsukka. just like UI, it boast of alumni of international repute.

in view of these, the order should be:

#3 - ABU
#2 - UI
#1 - UNN

others follow. thank you.

Pastor adeboye went to UNN

No. E. A. Adeboye got his Bsc in Mathematics from Unife (now OAU, Ile-Ife) in 1967. He used to be a student in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), but left for Ife after the Federal Government directed that all undergraduates should transfer to universities in their regions of origin due to the crises of 1966. Adeboye and Yemi Farounbi (former Ambassador to the Philippines) left UNN for OAU. Farounbi got his Bsc in Geography in 1968. Prof. A. B. C. Nwosu, in the same manner, left UI for UNN.

Of all the universities, OAU, UNN and Unilag, that Adeboye is said to have graduated from, OAU, is the only he publicly, in Tafawa-Balewa Square, said he got his Bsc from.
