. That rating can not be totally correct. Are they saying that with all the publications , various academic projects and programs done by CU which have even been recognized by independent organizations based in the USA , they are all nothing?. I have been to Pretoria university and I know what I saw there compared to what I saw in CU. How is it possible to rate high like three universities in South Africa at this same time. That rating can not be totally correct. I am very sure.

davidif:
Tell me please, what universities from your region are on this list? Last time i checked i didnt see anyone of them.

Secondly, Nigeria once had good leaders and a good foundation to build on but Major Nzeogwu destroyed all of that and led Nigeria down its current predicament. It's safe to say that the likes of Buhari, IBB and Abacha would have never left the military barracks had Tafawa Balewa, Zik and co had remained in charge and it's safe to say that we won't have has a brutal civil war that we are still trying to grapple with today.

Nope I won't because history always repeats itself and those who are not willing to learn from.it are doomed to repeat it.

Lool. cool down bro. CU only just recently got profiled by THE to be included in subsequent rankings.

Top universities like this can only exist in serious countries, not in a Joke like Nigeria.

Where's U.I?

That will be ignorant and sentimental of them. Mine is why Nigerian students prefer the UK with its high price (naira and pounds) yet when there they do not necessarily go to the best. Better University of Capetown than Coventry University.

1 Rand to Naira = 25 naira
1 Pound to Naira = 413 naira.

davidif:
As if there is a university in your own region on the list.

Paulpaulpaul:
Covenant university may breakthrough if they continue.


You see? Blacks, we are blacks; nothing more. Apartheid is paying off afterall

Ralphdan:
Yeah that's true if not for apartheid you wouldn't see SA dominating the list.

Most Nigerian students who go for postgraduate studies don't care about rankings they just follow the crowd.

I'm not being pessimistic, but truth be told that the current rating of Nigerian universities can only get worse. Not until we stop playing politics with everything in Nigeria will we be able to parade world class universities.

In South Africa for instance, there are flagship universities (e.g. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Pretoria ) which the nation parades when it comes to global ratings. However, not all their universities are better than our best universities. How many of us know that while the UK is a hotspot for university education and the nation parades many world class universities, there are still some universities over there which by global rating are lower than our first generation universities? What stops Nigeria from picking the five first generation universities for instance as our flagship and massively fund them so that our nation can also be an hotspot for university education in Africa? But if that would ever happen, it would be politicized with geo-political zoning by the 'owners of Nigeria' since the very best universities in Nigeria are all in the south save the Ahmadu Bello University.

Like someone opined above, i can only hope that Covenant University keeps up their current standard and pace so that one Nigerian university makes one of the best three in a distant future.

All49ja:
Lol, Allot of UK & US universities are just business centers. Few % of nationals in those country proceed for postgraduate study, so they rely on students from Africa, India and the likes. They want your money that's why admission for MSc in UK is easier than buying chocolate.

Those that go to UK low rank schools are either thief Politician pikin or those that want to show off.

Cos I can't fathom why leave your country and go to a UK university with low rank to pay huge fees of about 8m for a year doing MSc.

marv1:
. They better do a thorough job next time because I know what I am talking about. Landmark university alone can beat those south African universities hands down not to talk of CU.

marv1:
. Building a world class university is not the problem. But the graduates from such schools will be employed where? More over it is not the business of government to build world class universities because corruption will not allow it to survive. Federal universities and federal health ministries for example collect allocations but the Vice Chancellors and federal medical directors will never use them for that purpose, but divert the funds. In FUTA,for instance the VC sacked the university secodary school staff and asking them to begin to reapply for same job they had been for over decades. The VC didn't stop there he started running commercial and business courses in the university for three years now
, He had even proposed school of medicine in FUTA towards the end of Mimiko tenure before FG came out strongly against such schools running programs that are not in accordance with the the establishment of such schools two months ago. Imagine what happened in Federal university of agriculture in Abeokuta where the VC turned himself into a demi god., another example is what happenedin FMC ekiti two years ago and the recent one that happened in FMC Enugu or abia . So in our university system we have a lot of irregularities. lf not for the single Treasury account system that FG has introduced Nigeria would have been worst than Somalia by now. In Nigeria today we have more three hundred universities both government and private.which can be upgraded if we have honest , committed and patriotic people at different levels. However , we still have one or two universities in Nigeria we can refer to as world class.
