Of all the four major rankings in the world only Shanghai rankings uses Alumni CEOs as an indicator for rankings. The remaining three do not because it is not an accurate reflection of academic best practices.

Well, Currently CU is accepting more of its own graduates as lecturers. But quite a number of CU's lecturers did not study in Nigeria even though they are Nigerians. For example my supervisor was from Vancouver uni(PhD), North park or something for MSc and OAU as (BSc)

Have you seen the CVs of professors and doctors from public uni? Most of them did their masters or PhD abroad.... Tell me something else.

Oga.... Alumni in lay man's terms means "a product or an outcome", so your "4 major rankings...." narrative is highly debatable.

9. SUMMER EXCHANGE

Summer exchange programs: A good number Covenant University students participate in Summer Exchange programs every year. Student’s visit and take courses in reputable foreign varsities. Kindly let me know when UI and OAU start engaging their students as such during summer!

This point is ignorant and at best, myopic. Several federal universities have summer exchange programmes. You can choke on your glorified secondary school all you want. Bullshit.

I sha remember him referencing my own supervisor for d wrong work twice..
Hope you know that citing a research work could simply mean you agree with just one statement in the entire research work. Secondly, even in ivy league unis some scientific reports and findings are later disproved with a more sophisticated research work. The whole essence of science is to prove and disprove.

I can't be dumb enough to sight fallacy without addressing it immediately, you must have undergone a lot if stress to cook up your story.

1. Are those lecturers in CU from Harvard?
2. I bet majority are from those Federal Universities you condemn. Oh, that may indicate that those lecturers are not worthy to lecture in CU.
3. Just calm down, CU will keep employing graduates of Federal Universities to lecture their students even tho they produce 100billion first class in a year.

I actually like people like you; "Mr. Smart Enough to Know All Fallacy". Point out the fallacy you sighted and specifically tell us what category of fallacy it falls under

1. What has that got to do with anything. Coincidentally I actually mentioned one from Harvard in the post you just read - Eric Maskin
2. Very Well yes (Including Dr. Oyedepo) until they got tired of the status-quo that you ain't tired of. I didn't condemn any school (am also a Nigerian by the way); I pointed rubbished the hypes and rants people like you always make of our federal schools; while comparing the to a school I think is better (in my opinion). Also putting forward points to back my claim that none of you can counter.
3.For the federal school lecturers lecturers, if those that are presently doing their PDH work in CU's molecular lab had an opportunity to join CU, don't you think they will gladly do so?

I said it wasn't reflective of Academic best practices which most ranking organisations employ. For instance GEJ being president of Nigeria isn't because he grad top of his class in Uniport. Hence you cannot say Uniport is better than UI because Uniport produced a Nigerian president.

No doubt private universities may be good in academics, but when it comes to sense, their students actually reason like kids. Have a lot of them in my office, very proud in saying that their 4years in school cost 6 to 7 million naira.

What is the measuring criterion on which SENSE is weighed?

You are going too far.

Is the product employable?
Is he or she innovative?
Is the product relevant in today's business environment?
Does the product compete favorably with other from other reputable universities in the world?

So its not about "alumniCEO"...., Its about productivity and societal relevance.

We can also say CU is no match for fed uni because of the timeline of their own achievements e.g between 1948 to 1968, or 1960 to 1980.in which as at the time the dream of a CU was not even conceived.

Funny isn't it? See eh, we don't judge by timeline, we judge by sustainability. As underfunded as UI, OAU, UNN, etc are, they still manage to emerge as reputable schools in African category. Wait until CU experiences its own storm and wilderness before you rightly adjudge, okay?

Leave him alone o..

I downloaded one of their so called research publications(msc thesis to be precise) back then while I was doing my undergraduate(BSc) project research. Reading through the literary review alone, I could see a lot of inconsistencies and I had to show one junior lecturer in my department, he just told me to look for other articles. This same thesis was signed by not less than 5 profs (most of which are visiting lecturers).


Anyone can upload anything. . It's all about the quality and not the quantity. .


are they not thesame people we have as friends and loved ones? we chat and interact with them on daily basis. so shameful majority of the so acclaimed CU graduates can't even express themselves correctly in the use of English. Their masters students often consult undergraduate students of federal universities to teach them complex analysis (300 level maths 328).

tell us the reality and base your finding within our common environment.

are you aware those schools are well influenced internationally? securing a visa to travel to any country is much easier for you than as a professor of a federal university. these are measures put in place by the founders to make the university much attractive and the substantial fees justifiable.

last last, in the area of employment, when I look at the number of SGPs and SATPs we had during my involvement in oil and gas sector, about 10% are actually from these conventional universities. The truth is that, we have smart and brilliant students in our federal universities who to some extent, pose a direct threat to chances of securing a job by graduates from schools like CU. By this They are left with no option than to capitalize on the institutional or parental influence.

To those supporting federal universities, how many private universities have you visited... can the laboratories in the federal universities compare to those in afe babalola uni., convenant uni., e. t. c.

In federal universities, you struggle to learn rather than "learning in a conducive environment"(then tell me, why won't there be higher pass rate in the private unis.). Just take a visit to covenant university and you will see that, all that is left of most federal universities is their name.
