₦airaland Forum

AMINDA:
Work up to this thread this morning to see that many of the top comments to this thread on the first page have been hidden by the mods but the pro-Tinubu comments remain standing. Why is nairaland attempting to reshape the narrative from what it actually is? I've been observing this happening severally lately. Seun, you need to investigate this.

So you don't know that a coup is bad for Seun business? How do you want Seun to support those calling for coup

You think you guys will be able to comment trash on nairaland in a military regime? Site like Nairaland will be easily ban and internet can easily be shut down and nothing will happen.

Nonexisting1:
Even as bad as Buhari's government was, there was no fear for a military coup. This is to tell you how horrible Tinubu's government is.

This is not about Tinubu it is actually about Northerners with born to rule mentality if they can't tolerate Tinubu you think it is Peter Obi they will tolerate?

Vision101:
We know how is used to happen in dodan barracks back then. If you know what a military rule is you wouldn't say what you are saying. You will never have the freedom to say half of what you say here. They don't believe in court or rule of law. They might decide to kill Kanu or lock him up and throw the keys away and nothing will happen. Major nations will declare Nigeria a pariah nation. The sanctions will hurt the poor more.

Many Nigerians supporting coup in Nigeria prove how low the IQ of a Typical Nigerian is, the economic sanctions alone will cripple Nigeria

Nigeria dominates Sub-Saharan Africa in 2026 university rankings with 24 institutions

Nigeria has taken the top spot in Sub-Saharan Africa’s higher education rankings, with 24 universities listed in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This makes Nigeria the most represented country in the region, ahead of South Africa, which has 13 universities on the list.

The Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa Insights 2026 report, released on Thursday on THE’s website, shows that the region now has a record 55 universities from 14 countries in the global rankings, which is a significant rise from just 10 universities less than ten years ago.

The report described this as a “moment of celebration” for African higher education, noting that universities are improving not only in number but also in quality and global visibility.

South Africa still leads in performance, with four universities ranked among the world’s top 500. The University of Cape Town is Africa’s highest-ranked institution at 164th globally, its best-ever position.

The University of Johannesburg also reached a major milestone by entering the global top 400 for the first time, while the University of Pretoria returned to the 501–600 range after some years.

For Nigeria, the University of Ibadan and the University of Lagos both entered the world’s top 1,000 universities for the first time.

Ghana’s University of Cape Coast and Uganda’s Makerere University also featured in the same range, marking steady progress for West and East Africa.

Other countries also improved their presence. Ghana now has four ranked universities, while Botswana has two. Kenya and Tanzania maintained two each.

Senegal made a debut in the rankings through Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar marking a new era for Francophone Africa.

The report showed how fast the region has grown in the rankings over time. From just 12 universities in 2017, the number has grown steadily to 18 in 2020, 25 in 2022, 43 in 2024, and now 55 in 2026, the highest ever.

Times Higher Education’s Chief Global Affairs Officer, Phil Baty, said Africa’s progress is not just about numbers but quality.

“We are not just seeing improvements in representation; we are seeing improvements in quality too… a great opportunity to build on the momentum and make sure Africa’s universities are ready to drive innovation and development,” he said.

The top 10 universities in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to The Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa Insights 2026 report include:

1. University of Cape Town (=164 globally)

2. Stellenbosch University (301–350)

3. University of the Witwatersrand (301–350)

4. University of Johannesburg (351–400)

5. University of KwaZulu-Natal (501–600)

6. University of Pretoria (501–600)

7. University of the Western Cape (601–800)

8. Makerere University (801–1,000)

9. University of Cape Coast (801–1,000)

10. University of Ibadan / University of Lagos (801–1,000)

The report also noted that the global higher education system is changing. Some of Asia’s top universities, such as Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore, have slowed in growth, while many US and European universities are facing challenges from funding cuts and political pressure.

These changes, the report said, create a new opportunity for Africa to rise further by focusing on research, innovation, and strong international partnerships.

PUNCH Online reported that the University of Ibadan also topped Nigeria’s domestic rankings for 2026, moving up from fourth position in the previous year to become the nation’s best university.

According to the PUNCH Online report, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026 noted that UI and the University of Lagos share the same global ranking band (801–1,000), followed by Bayero University, Covenant University, and Landmark University in the 1001–1200 range.

The PUNCH Online report also highlighted that Nigerian universities performed differently across the five indicators used by THE: teaching, research environment, research quality, international outlook, and industry impact.

The University of Lagos scored highest among Nigerian institutions for research quality, Bayero University topped the list for international outlook, while Covenant University led in industry engagement.

I see many people complaining about the low value of naira against dollars but if naira value is low it will actually make Nigeria competitive in the International market and make us attractive for export.

Why is Japanese yen and Korean won not high against the dollar? It is also one of the things that China use to beat America in exportation they deliberately lower the value of their Yuan against dollar but not many Nigerians get it.

One of the reasons our exportation is increasing is because naira value is also low it make importing from Nigeria very cheap

dalass:
You want the military that is full of "repentant bandits" to take over what You would rather have generals who embezzle soldiers welfare and equipment money to take over the whole country 😭

You go hear am loud and clear. The terrorists are being trained by NA and maintained. They have been absorbed into NA and please stop that idea.

They cry for military takeover because they don't like the government but the military is even more corrupt than the government not to even talk many of the oppression that will follow suit, at least for now people can criticize the government who is going to stop a military government from banning the Internet?

Seun if you like your business those crying for a military takeover on this platform should be ban.

If Nigeria had beaten South Africa when they came to Nigeria we wouldn't be having this headache.

Nigeria spend naira not dollar

Kwara is actually a base of Tinubu, Tinubu should take this issue more seriously. Why are terrorists targeting his voters base in Kwara and Kogi ?

What do you want ordinary Yoruba to do ? The best we can do is to match to protest about it.

press9jatv:
This is Kolapo Isola Estate, one of the 14 Estates in Ibadanland. Ibadan is not all about down town Beere area with brown roofs ‼️

They know Ibadan have beautiful places but what do you want them to use to demarket Ibadan?

Even though Lagos is arguably the most developed city in Nigeria they still call it dirty and smelling constantly.

spencekat:
Congratulations to her.What does 'Imisi'mean? The winner of the show is highly predictable,especially after a month in the house.

Imisi mean to Inspire in Yoruba

MichaelTokunboh:
Imisi is from Imisioluwa which means
Inspiration from God Almighty in the Yoruba Language.

You don't have to add religion imisi mean to Inspire in Yoruba

I like her very bold and outspoken personality but omo I'm really getting old can't believe I'm older than this girl

Wike is throwing shade at these people but are too slow to even understand

If you don't want to die young avoid schools with cultism

Most women future plan is to marry man with future plan

Nigerian Army and Air Force is just incompetent, look at the damage Ukraine is doing to Russia with cheap FPV drones, these drones are powerful enough to even destroy Russia tanks.

Nigeria army can't learn from this, imagine if we get thousands of FPV drones and launch them at a location or forest where this bandits gather it will be an easy massacre because these bandits won't be able to do much against thousands of drones with just their Ak47 and machine gun.


Nigerian army don't even need to waste personnel to confront these ragtag terrorists and bandits they can easily be destroy with drones.

franchasng:
Hahahaha....go to YouTube and search: "Nigerian soldiers crying because they were about to face Biafra soldiers" "Nigerian soldiers scared to confront Biafra soldiers" and you will see a Hausa-Fulani army commander forcing and commanding mostly Yoruba soldiers to advance forward where they will confront Biafra soldiers and they were all weeping and peeing in their military camos



A Yoruba man is the wrongest person to talk about bravery or war.....go and read what IBB said about that to understand better

So crying and weeping soldiers chased you away from Ore ? You are not even ashamed

franchasng:
What Ojukwu did, no Yoruba man living or gone can dare it.


What Igbo men have done in and outside Nigeria, no Yoruba living or gone can dare it till Jesus Christ returns.


We don't need to go there you know it, the whole Nigerians know this.


In 1966 after Aguiyi Ironsi was removed as Military Head of State, the next in line was a Yoruba man to take over but fear and cowardice couldn't allow him do so even when Ojukwu stood his ground that the Yoruba military officer must be the next military head of state and not Gowon as he even refused to take orders from Gowon.


We know the story of IBB and one top Yoruba military officer.


My brother we dont need to be discussing this, you already know the truth before you even typed your response.


When world war II became tough, Hitler tried to escape but when he got the intels that all exits have been mounted to get him alive, he took his own life and that of his girlfriend, that was after attempting to flee disguised as a Roman Catholic Nun.


So that stale news of Ojukwu disguising to flee is stale because Ojukwu left Biafra land by force. Biafran top officers and his closest allies pleaded with him to leave so that Philip Effiong his Vice could surrender Biafra as hunger ravaged Biafran civilian population thereby making it impossible for Biafra to push further.


Ojukwu was airlifted from Biafra Airstrip at Oba Anambra to Ivory Coast together with his family and families of his top Generals, including Philip Effiong's family.


So quit rewriting history to proof something that never existed

Shut up lol

When Yoruba was building empire from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana your ancestors were still in the evil forest.

Your Biafra forces even met their Waterloo when they tried to invade Yoruba land and were sent back at Ore.

One day Federal Government and Abuja will not be safe if they keep pampering and negotiating with Bandits and Terrorists, Taliban overthrew government in Afghanistan, Terrorists chase away Assad of Syria despite Russia backing, one day the bandits and terrorists northern elites and Nigerian government keep pampering will come for them.

One day these bandits and terrorists won't be satisfied with just hiding in the bush and terrorizing farmers and villagers alike they will want to become government themselves and come for Federal Government and Nigerian Army. Look at the damage common rebel group call M23 is doing in congo, the government isn't safe.

To me Nigerian Army is just incompetent, if they want to wipe out these terrorists they don't even need to engage them face to face in the advent of drones technology that we have in this modern times. Nigerian Army is just sitting around wasting space they are not learning anything in the battle between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine caused a lot of damages to Russia with just FPV drones.

These terrorists and bandits in Nigeria don't have the means to confront thousands of drones, Nigeria army don't even need to waste personnel to engage them, if Nigeria army is a serious force they should have a dedicated battalion train in drone warfare and Nigeria government should be procuring thousands of drones from Ukraine or anywhere else that can carry decent weapon payload if we don't have the technology to make it ourselves but we have st00pid people in charge of our affairs in this country.

Great guy.

Igboho have the warrior heart of an Igbo man.


I so much love him. His resolute to fight off killer herdsmen terrorists from his region makes me to cherish him but unfortunately due to political correctness to please the Northern political elites, most of his people despise him even though he is only fighting for their security and wellbeing, sighs

You mean Ojuwku warrior heart that ran away to Ivory coast in female clothing when things got tough

The monarchy institutions in south west have been bastardized when they keep installing low life people with no class and integrity as king, the stool is auction off to the highest bidder by the kingmakers.

Instead of being a good representative of Yoruba culture and people they are now all a big disgrace and embarrassment.

There's zero benefit for a man in marriage, it is just full of responsibilities

kingbee90:
You are right but Tinubu media platforms have portrayed bright minds like Osinbajo to seem like a betrayer and a lesser Omoluabi for daring to contest the 2023 presidential election.
Osinbajo no doubt would have done a better job as a president than this unknown and mysterious kleptoman!ac without an identity in power.

You guys should Keep deceiving yourselves

Is it not the same Osinbajo that you guys called all sorts of names when he was VP to Buhari, you called him a Fulani slaves, condolence minister etc but when he falled out with Tinubu he is suddenly the best thing after slice bread to you guys.

I pity all this I'm a Yoruba but people in Kwara state

Badca81:
Nigerians should stop making noise because that is what the government knows us for.


I can never stand in any polling booth that I want to vote APC,PDP, labour , or even the new ADC as they are all the same.


What can save Nigeria is military rule .


We are not even practicing democracy rule in the original sense

What can save Nigeria is Nigerians with integrity that are ready to make things work even the best system in the world will turn out to be a total disaster in Nigeria no system is immune to corruption.

MarketDispatch:
What is this one saying? When they hire foreigners, they pay them in bulk USD, when they hire Nigerians they pay them small shikini naira...why will the foreigner complain.

Show me any foreigner that will agree to work for the same naira amount they pay to any Nigerian they hire? You will see none.



So, the Union is there to protect Nigerians from being poorly paid

Foreigners are only employ in top and managing positions of course their payments will be more than Nigerians in minor and lower roles abi you want just a truck driver to earn as much as a foreigner that is a manager or director?

FreeStuffsNG:
They will hire people who will replace them and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Last time, Pengassan president was lamenting seriously that oil companies no longer hire Nigerians, this is the kind of sabotage they want to avoid if this is true.

Unionism is also part of the reasons they don't hire Nigerians, when they hire Nigerians instead of 100% focus on work they will be bother about union and looking to join but foreigners don't have that problems.

igwebuike01:
It doesn't work like that. Success rate is not measured in actual number but percentage

When it come to sheer volume numbers is the best and Yoruba have always have the highest numbers of students that passed WAEC and NECO every year.

The numbers of students that passed in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo alone is more than the entire East and it has been consistent like that for years. Keep Wonking percentage lol

One thing I also noticed all this agitation in the East where do you think the money they are using to buy most of their weapons coming from ? It is from crimes like this, if you investigate very well you will find out that Ip0b and ESN are connected to this drug crimes.
