Samorobo hopefully you can see what I am telling you about world ranking ..... This is another ranking report from the USA. it has proven what I have been telling you since. Ghana education system is incomparable in west africa .......

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has been adjudged the best University in Ghana and West Africa.


""The Ashanti Region-based university also came 14th on the African continent and 706th out of selected 1,500 best universities worldwide.

It displaced two of West Africa’s prestigious tertiary institutions, the University of Ibadan (UI) in Nigeria and fellow compatriots, the University of Ghana (UG), which ranked 17 and 24 in the sub-region, the report indicated.

This is according to Washington-based US News & World Report 2019. The 86-year-old organisation is known for ranking and evaluating universities based on their research performance and its ratings by members of the academic community around the world and in its region.

The U.S. News & World Report is a multi-platform publisher of news and information, which includes; annual print and e-book versions of its authoritative rankings of Best Colleges, Best Graduate Schools and Best Hospitals in the World.

The rankings according to the U.S. News and World Report are produced to provide insight into how universities compare globally so that prospective students could make the best choices.

It, therefore, focuses specifically on the institution’s academic research and overall reputation. The overall best global universities rankings encompass the top 1,500 institutions spread across 81 countries globally.

The first step in producing these rankings, which are powered by Clarivate Analytics Incites, involved creating a pool of 1,599 Universities that is used to rank the top 1,500 schools.

The second step is to calculate the rankings using the 13 indicators and weights that U.S. News chose to measure global research performance.

Each of the 1,500 top-ranked university's profile pages on usnews.com lists the overall global score as well as numerical ranks for the 13 indicators, allowing students, academics and university leaders to compare each university's standing in each indicator.

These indicators include; global research reputation, regional research reputation, publications, books authored, conference papers, normalised citation impact, total citations, number of publications that are among the 10% most cited, percentage of total publications that are among the 10% most cited, international collaboration - relative to country, international collaboration, number of highly cited papers that are among the top 1% most cited in their respective field, percentage of total publications that are among the top 1% most highly cited papers, and general reputation.

With a global score of 42.4, KNUST had a global reputation for research of 1,044, regional research reputation of 21. It also obtained 1,572 publications, 1,189 books, 1,444 conferences, 33 normalisation citation impact and a total citation of 1,0409.

In addition, KNUST attained 949 percentage of total publications that are among the 10 per cent most cited, 381 International collaborations - relative to country, and 15 International collaborations. This latest ranking projects KNUST as the best University for teaching, learning and research in Ghana and West Africa as whole"".

source .....US news and world report.....

Lol this ranking is not based on knowledge transfer and quality education it focuses mainly on publications , books and global reputation (which reputation does just have globally? It is not more reputable than Legon)......infact there is no way just is better than legon, talkless of UI....Read through it properly you will see that the first step in producing the ranking is based on some random web search "Analytics incites"...

The higher times (THE) is the most recognised globally and should not be compared with a Washington based US news...

UI has no rival in WA mate

rvp2018:
Sammy is typically Nigeria illeterate...DRC is second biggest...I think Sudan use to be 2nd..DRC is nearly 3 times bigger than Nigeria

Mumu boy

tylann:
iam not supporting any party
kazi is saying dar is more modern than accra which is true that is his definition of developed
vaxx is saying the opposite flashy buidings does not mean development

Good..Both parties made salient point... Kazikazi never argued that Ghana is more economically developed than TZ but he is simply saying that Ghana economic prowress doesn't match her urbanisation....but I think vaxx misunderstanding him.

As the middle class grows their taste, quality, and sophistication improves in urban areas...

tylann:
good then rvp is right

Noise dear.......,Go build road.

gallivant:
Wow, bigger than Sudan, DRC, Ethiopia, Mali, Libya, South Africa, Angola, Niger, Egypt, Mauritania, Chad etc. Just wow Sammy.

Honestly I didn't even know ..I was on quora sometime last year and someone said that...I just flowed with it, without checking.

gallivant:
Sammy also thought we shouldn't plant more trees because Instabul is a concrete jungle! Nigerian arguments are outrageous and outright childish. You are better off quiet.

You are stupid my friend...Never in my post did I say or imply that trees shouldn't be planted....

Abohboy:
You knkw hkw the Kenyans have been shouting tech capital in Africa well today Visa an American company bought a 200 million dollar company in a Nigerian company called interswitch making it the first billion dollar Africa fintech Company ever

Than the CEO if Twitter said that he wanted to live in Nigeria for 6 months saying it was one of the best experiences he had ever had how he felt welcomed and the people were smart, kind, nice friendly etc

Lol why is the bolded not happening in one of Africa's easiet place to do business "Kenya" ?


The Twitter ceo is visiting four African countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda) and Kenya is not one of them....
He goes there today and he will surely go missing

Shma:
Ghana if far much developed than Tz. You think those three tall blue buildings will make Dar look more developed than Accra

Hmmmm of all people this shouldn't be coming from you.....it stands against everything you believe which is skyscraper....

Kazikazi:
You are correct.By area,Tz is bigger than naija.GDP, naija is way bigger,population, naija is more populous

Omg..do you know i used to think Nigeria is the second largest country behind Algeria in Africa...,wow TZ is really big ooo

Problemkid1:
But this is an injustice you know? What about the south east and South South. What are the budget for those two region. They have done nothing to those two region to be honest with you.

Hmmmm what do I say now...okay here is my own opinion...Not until few months ago when I visited Enugu I used to think that the entire south -east region is very backward and no different from a deep village, but I was proved wrong...I put it to you that Enugu is by far better than Lagos mainland in terms of good road and housing unit...Lagos traffic this days is no joke because there are so many roads construction within the same route /proximity and often times if affects the island... I would prefer the govt stay focus on a road , finish it quickly then move on to the next rather than closing up everywhere and giving commuters a tiny road to share to and fro thereby burning time on the roads....
Enugu for instance will be completing her international airport next year and I tell you that is no joke..that alone is capable of pulling massive investment to the state...Imo is not left out AS I recently heard that he was given $50million from world bank which he would be investing in roads as soon as the raining season is over...... Onistha has a 10 lanes, not so many states has that luxury....What of second Niger bridge..so bro I don't think any part is left being....
Did you know that the lagos-calabar rail will city through the south -eastern zone?

tylann:
kazikazi is confused
for example
nairobi is more modern than accra
but ghana beats kenya in hdi which is the most important thing
not malls or skyscrapers

Honestly this doesn't make sense...Both party have valid point ..it will be better to removed emotional hatred and access the point of view of both party...I am not supporting of both countries, but fon

I know where vaxx is coming from and I also where Kazikazi is coming from... Understand both party in a rational way before speaking...They both have point, don't explore one side only.

tylann:
light rail is to be constructed by french company
that is one of the project intiated by the french president when he visited kenya

Lol you keep disgracing yourself.. so it is not more metro, it is now light rail...
Look not even rvp(your best liar) can look me in the eyes and tell me nairobi is building a light rail..you simply can't afford it......The French President visit which if I remember correctly was posted in the month of April by a couple of your brothers..You nairoslum intend extending and expanding your "common commuter rail" not building a light rail...funny enough it is still a carrot dream
In sub-saharan Africa they are only 3 countries with a light rail(Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia.Ethopia borrowed alot for this) and Kenya is not one of them...In the entire continent of Africa there is only one monorail and that is the ones in Nigeria.. Northern Africans countries had plans to build a monorail but because of the cost I think they settled for a tram..(according to Algerian1)...

You are a village timid Nakuru boy.....

Kazikazi:
The story of Kenyan banks starting operations in Ethiopia have been spoken for ages but nothing have happened. Ethiopia don't want privatization on her finance sectors.simple as that.
Don't try talking about Rwanda.Do u know why electric sgr is starting from dar to Kigali then Goma in DRC?

SA attacks favours Tz.That is why we never talk too much.As u might guess, a communist competes with SA.A communist have decided to take the bull by the horns

Lol they want to claim boss because a few of their mushroom companies crossed their shores...Tell them that their unemployed youths depend on us anually to position their future and the future of their country in the right decision...
Look at the dwarfs trying to belong...

tylann:
the competition will be about pictures speaking

if he is tampering with it

give us the right link we know the truth

No I won't and that is because I want to disgrace him..I want him to provide that link if he is man enough....I bet he can't...he is a loser

tylann:
iam asking a simple question why do you watch kenyan videos

You still don't get it do you?...you are useless to me and I see know reason why I should grace a question coming from someone I consider useless a reply(sorry but how I see you)

tylann:
what are you bragging about boy
nigeria has one of the worst roads in the world

and nigeria has less than 30000km of paved roads so

our cost is high because we build quality
google African countries with the best road quality

We will calculate the km when did competition starts....
Rvp is a noise maker..I know where he got his link from but he is tampering with it , and that why I said he should provide me his link.....he is not giving you the full story

rvp2018:
Here is your 2018 federal budget for 20 roads - mere 40M dollars. I think you should ask the UN, IMF and WB to put you in the donor list for being too poor - otherwise the way I see - you'll continue to export all kind of evils to all countries. There should be a conference on NIGERIA soon.

Hahaha you bark alot..Where in your post was $40million mentioned?
Did you check the km of those roads?
Apart from apapa phase 2 road project and the Abuja-kaduna road the rest are slum upgrade road and mere rehabilitation...You must know that at that time we were still in serious recession so there was scarcity of cash to fund project...

Focus on the present and not the past...Btw I still await your link...I want to disgrace you..

America instituted free market capitalism and used it to rape the world to it own benefits

Now China is using the same system to rape America dry and they are busy crying.
They have no idea what is ahead of them

You are right.. Americans(most especially whites) can't believe that the same Chinese that were used for cheap labour in the 80's/90's .... America will finally hand over world economic power to China but they should take pride in knowing that it will take decades before China will meet up to their individual wealth...

Comment section on YouTube is always fire

tylann:
such a desperate guy

why are you obsessed with Kenya

Hahaha dear you are obsessed with stupid question

rvp2018:
What do you think has drastically changed the last few years.

Stupid question mate...Go fetch 2019 data

rvp2018:
Exhibit 1 of Nigeria lethargy - Road just 120kms long has been re-construction since 2013.

Reconstruction of Ibandan-Lagos Expressway.
The reconstruction of the expressway was flagged off on July 2013 by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the immediate past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to help reduce the travel time of hundreds of thousands of commuters and international air passengers. The contract was awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria and Reynolds Construction Company Limited at a sum of 167 billion Naira, equivalent to $838,986,290.[7] Two sections of the expressway will be reconstructed and this includes Section I (Lagos to Sagamu Interchange) and section II (Sagamu Interchange to Ibadan)

Is this 30 years?.......

rvp2018:
When your are able to pay salaries and pension on time, have fixed electricity, your completely broken down roads and have a development budget worth debating come and we shall celebrate your development, the man from the poverty capital of our planet

This funny we don't need you to celebrate for us we can do that our selves..it's just a shame that we don't see the impact of your budget.

Just30:
China isnt going anywhere oo

It is a phase of restructuring where by you intentionally pop the bubbles in your system whiles you control the damage

Yeah time will tell..The hate and envy US has for China is no longer hidden...Any YouTube video that speak about China's progress you will definitely see Americans at the comment section spewing raw hate...The video was done by an american just as they usually do

rvp2018:
Road Infrastructure...

1) Nigeria road infrastructure. I checked their FERMA - Federal Road Agency - budget and I nearly 'cried'.

Of Nigeria’s 195,000 kilometres of roads, says the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, 135,000 km are un-tarred; 32,000 km of the total are federal roads; 31,000km are owned by the state governments and the rest by the local governments. The World Bank says only about 30,000 km of all roads in Nigeria are actually paved.

2) South Africa
South Africa, our continental rival, has 750,014 km of roads, the 10th largest globally, with 158,124 km paved.

3) Kenya

She has about 20,000 kms of road paved.Road transport is the predominant mode of transport and carries about 93% of all cargo and passenger traffic in the country. Kenya's road network has been established to be 160,886 km long. About 61,936 km of these roads are classified while the remaining 98,950 km are not classified.

Note: Only 1/3 of kenya is densely populated - with 2/3 semi-arid wasteland or forests or animal reserves.

My dear save this for some illiterate..go provide the link, you can't play smart with Sammy....I know what you just did so provide me the link let me disgrace you a little.....

I swear you are not smart

tylann:
everyone will post pics of they infrastructure why are you whining

See dude you will lose the battle..I will practically calculate your entire built roads km for this year and that of your age..check cost of this things..Then we will see who will cry....Be prepared for me, rvp k ows how I roll

tylann:

Lol it is rvp hat is crying..he just confirmed what I said

tylann:

tylann:
so what
business insider is globally recognised

you posted a report by person who knows nothing about kenya

he even doesnot ukwala supermarket changed it is name to choppies supermarket

Business insider is an American financial and business news website that operates in so many countries around the world...The ones on SA are run by SAns and they wrote about your zoo...so tell me why use SA source?

tylann:
who asked you to give a shiit about our ordinary bridge
continue hating while it is being constructed

My dear nothing is being constructed...I don't give a damn about your bridge because I see it as a common thing here in Nigeria(they are so many bridge in Lagos, port Harcourt, onistha and so many other places)...but seeing that this is your first bridge which hasn't even started I get where your excitement is emanating from.

tylann:
that is not a name of a newspaper

can we compare kidnapping in kenya and nigeria

Yes we can't compare..30 children goes missing in Kenya daily alongside foreigners and tourists...you hardly hear that tourist and foreigners are missing in NIGERIA..

tylann:
simple question why do you watch kenyan videos throughout

why are you always calling me your dear

Calling you dear is my own way of humbly insulting you...I call you dear but then I low-key spice it up with insult you might not notice even though they are laced in my word..,

Now back to your questions, My dear this is once again a very stupid question I hope you get what I just did

Lol
