I bliv the kogi dominant in Abu..

And Abu produces most prominent men in naija after unn..

But ABU can never be better than unijos when it's comes to accepting different tribes in naija..

Unijos has both igbos, anambra dominant in igbo, Edo are many, yeruba are so much, venue get the sch and white pple are more due to the weather.

That big for nothing school...... Alumnus me.

It used to be the best in North before General Kotangora era of 1996-1999 when hateful Hausafulanis radicals turned it to Jihadists training campus.
Today it's all about Mosques in every corner and lowly graded Hausafulani teachers and core Islamists admin staff everywhere.
Students Admission is Islamically reviewed.
Graduate assistants is first viewed from Islamic point

For foreign students, I can accept that (if they are truly more than UNN's)
But nationals, I doubt. Most students in ABU are from N. Central, NE, NW.
I can't say the school that has most though but I suspect the way ABU denies people admission, they can't be the most secular
Argue base on facts bro. Just drop your facts here and stop agueing based on what you think.

ABU receive more funds from FG than UI, UNILAG, OAU and UNN yet it can't stand beside those schools academically undecided
Is not just by bragging now, which innovation those schools you mentioned have come out with to show that they are better than ABU academically. It is easier to say my school is better than yours but what have my school done to make my school stand out among others.Nigerians and empty talk!!!!

It's the most secular because there are people from all parts of the federation more than any other university. In UNN, Igbos are the majority. Also, they deny admission because the applicants they receive are more than they can take. This year, 81,397 people applied and only about 14,000 slots are available. What do you expect them to do? Automatically, about 67,000 people won't be admitted already.
In almost every class you go, there are people from all the 36 states in Nigeria and even beyond in some.
Who school help....
Who Nigeria help
Admission that are gotten without merit
Nothing is on merit in this country
Business apprentice s are naturally always one step ahead not abu or a fucking uni

Some people actually think northern nigerian schools are full of hausas only. Totally wrong. Entire cities (sabon gari) are dedicated to other tribes exclusively. No other region in Nigeria does that

If not for religious issues (stoked by Saudi mullahs), the hausas are the most tolerant, accommodating and honest tribe in Nigeria. QED.
Is it a most for you to go on the tribalism path?

To be candid with you, your points are irrelevant and disgusting to the core. You splashing this kind of words out are fucking stupid.

Where will you put the Yorubas of the west?
They are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria, maybe even in Africa.
Can a Igbo man do anyhow he want in Kano or Bauchi?
But come to Lagos State and Oyo state. Yorubas give every tribe their own respect and massive amount of land to do as they wish, with no beefing or tribal dispute.
Have travelled to complete 14 states in this country, no tribe is more secular and friendly like the Yorubas.

Go and do your assignment and findings very well.

One love ����

Bros don't ever do that comparison

ABU and Unilorin are the two largest, followed by OAU.

There have been arguments on which is larger between Unilorin and ABU.

Is that your only reason to reach that conclusion? Are you sure you have the right grades for the course you applied for?

Bro. I was born and lives in ilorin, I know unilorin inside out. While I study in ABU, soo whatsoever I say about the two university are based on facts and figures. ABU is far bigger in size than unilorin. You can't compare first generation University with 2nd generation University particularly in the area of Size. ABU IS NATURALLY AHEAD.

Bro...I am only concerned about the MAIN campus!

That's natural of course. The core North has the population advantage. I hope I won't have to expand on this.

Bro more oil to your head, been waiting on comments from Ilorin students and you came through. Unilorin gate alone to Academic area is about 12minutes drive on 40km/h speed. I can remember in 2016 an ABU professor spoke on Unilorin fm, his comment was on the size comparism, he admitted Unilorin is bigger, please readers let's argue with facts, Unilorin Is 15000 sq. km bordering about 4 Local govts. What's ABU main campus size ??

We are talking about occupied space, you are talking about hectares of land unoccupied. Every school has thousands of unoccupied hectares. Don't ever compare ABU with Unilorin
