Aerial pictures of ife are certainly mind blowing, remember ife with fond memories

Steve74: You are so fucking self-conceited to say Ife is Africa's most beautiful campus!! You kidding me? Yet the school is not even rated among first 5000 universities in the world amongst which you sure will find so many South African and Egyptian universities. Your level of exposure is abysmally low. You live in a circumscribed world, where the most beautiful place you seem to have set foot on is your rustic Ife university thrown away into the jungles of Africa! You sound like someone dispatched from the Amazon jungles or Koma village straight to Ife, hence your aesthetics sense is so un-eveloved. Little wonder you think the place prettier than heaven! Your world is such a prison with impossible bars!!!!! That's the tragic thing Ife has done to you VILLAGER and many of your fellow closed-minded Ife graduates! Anyway I'm an AKOKITE...

Na beef go kill you, Ife ranking in the world is 1113 and 10th in Africa by webometrics recent ranking not that I am overtly and excessively proud of that but Ife is at least about 1500 points ahead of Unilag on the ranking.So much for the so evolved aesthetic sense of yours and frigging mind your spelling next time. Bugg off and go clean something of mine. Greatest Ife

My point exactly biased moderator. I rest my case.

From Oxford univ to Cambridge to Harvard ife alumni are repping.

[quote author=maxwello.yg]OAU has better ranking and conducive environment for learning.
But, UNN is more popular abroad and has produced more outstanding Nigerians than OAU-no doubt.[/quote]That is not true is because ife guys don't brag. See what a forumite Said about ife sometimes in 2008. is the
Greatest. I was in Ife a few (over 20 odd  )years back , White House/ Awo Hall./Fajuyi etc and love every minute of my 5 years stay. I am always conscious of IFE as every time I see a uniquely exceptional Nigerian- they must at one time or the other have Ife 'blood' in them.

I can never forget IFE, Aluta, one of my friends was killed in town during one of our protests and I was only saved by the grace of God, but nevertheless I will never trade the experience for any other.

I am out on the country for the past few years and honestly, Ife is truly great, Any where I go I meet alumna bringing glory to Great Ife, In UN, I know two Ife guys working as consultants, I know several top guys in Google , Microsoft, Boeing, Lehman Brothers; Citigroup, AT&T, Armaco, Shell etc , them jus boku , haba,

Our host Seun sef get Ife in him. 

Ife is the greatest!!!!!!

Does any one know of an Alumni in UK; I would like to join one to see what we can do to make Ife greater, The Alumni website is not as good as it should be , and the information is not current, we deserve something better, L8tr guys.

@SEUN, As an aside, this site is wonderful, Thanks for the effort, I work in IT so I know a little wee bit of the effort. More grease to your cuffs,

May you can post names and let take it from there and pls I don't mean politicians.

Which of one of this two schools do you respect most? Students and graduates of the two schools are not meant to participate because they will obviously be biased. Comments from people from other schools are most welcomed. Or should we put as: Which one of the two schools would you have chosen to go if they were the only 2 Universities in Nigeria? OAU v. UNN.

Alumni output home and abroad and no empty bragging.

Adelaide2: IGBO KWENU

One page of igbos accomplishments and already the op is spent, you guys are the greatest braggarts ever. How hilarious just a miserable page of mediocre even Zno made the list phew.

olawalebabs: Show of interest and picking of a brand new mod for this section will be concluded on the last day of this month.

I am thoroughly disappointed in what most of the mods are doing, it is a distinguishing yet disgusting job because most of them cannot be an unbiased umpire, plus why do you allow mods at politics section to dump garbages in your section indiscriminately. Take only an unbiased person especially in this era of clannishilizing every discussions.

Atolagbe1: At this point i'll support University Of Nigeria Nsukka(a.ka Home of Lions and Lioness)....
UNN achievement is 2much:
1. The wife of prof. Okeke dept of physics UNN won 2013 world women scientist international award hosted by Unesco.
2.stable academic calendar,imagine Unn is through with 12/13 academic session since july 5th,2013.meanwhile other skul are in their mid second semester coupled with ASUU strike.
3.Unn has the first dept of Statistics in nigeria producing gr8 men like Mike MBA d senior statistician at CBN.
4.UNN has atleast 350 professors.
Academic excellence:
If u got 2.1 in UNN u'r solid,no wonder it called the home of Lions/lioness.u'll face real life academic challenge. Among others.

Do you know Fatou Bensouda the prosecutor of international court of justice is an ife alumnus. If I am to publish list of ife achievements, then you will know UNN is a child's play,besides we are talking about academic excellence not some wild lions and lionesses roaring about, hefty but empty braggadocios

I think UNN has misplaced its academic priority and has decided to embrace the wild what the heck is a roaring lion no one is talking about a shouting match, ife rocks.

I am shocked and surprised that the garbage "top 10 Universities in NIgeria"is still wasting space at the. Politics section when similar ones had been moved to education section. I demand you move it forthwith except ofcourse you are playing tribal politIcs with me.

[quote author=one.east3]You people just sabi make mouth without nothing to show for it: not academic excellence not nothing..! ife is just a huge myth, they cannot stand side by side with anything UNIZIK or UNN. These are top unis for naija[/quote]Ife myth! In your dreams or nightmare, in terms of mediocrity and pretentious scholarcism Unizik and UNN can lead the pack but we are talking about cutting edge research and Profound intellectualism and blazing trail where giants are timid to tread.

Ola Johnson: Nobody can rubbish Great Ife's achievement in research. I was on campus yesterday for my PG programme enquiry, I was supprised, despite the ongoing ASUU strike, lecturers were reading.

It is culture that only death can take.Pay the op no heed, 2012 ife achieved the same feat. It is no coincidence, it is hard work and excellence my brother.Ife rocks.

[quote author=one.east4]Are you dumb!

Didn't you see the basis upon which this thread are created.

We are ranking based on academic excellence, prizes won on scientific and non-scientific (nationally and internationally), non strike. etc.

Its not all about ranking done by some folks somewhere without considering number of things,[/quote]Then conveniently you thought Unizik should top the list you created in your head despite the criteria. You are irredeemable, continue to hibernate in your infantile fantasy. Your beef cannot diminish the intellectual behemoth hub that ife has become and the research and academic hegemon that ife has become.greatest ife, articulate ife...

Ola Johnson: The OP is only showing his anger towards a thread opened by Sterling Towers on ranking of universities, where Webometrics placed OAU as 8th in Africa and 1st in Nigeria.

What is nauseating was that the moderators were tripping over one another to move mine to Education section but allow this farce to occupy space in politic section for this long.I see why a lot of people are pissed at them.This is how this SE clowns re-write history and skewed it to suit their incompetence well water will always find its level.

July 24 marked a new dawn for South West Nigeria, as five of the six governors in the region converged on Ibadan to formally commission the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission office, at the historic Cocoa House, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Though Ondo Governor, Olusegun Mimiko was absent, the historic significance of the occasion was underscored with the presence of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, of Lagos, the pair of Ekiti’s Kayode Fayemi and Osun’s Rauf Aregbesola, very zestful advocates the programme, Ogun’s Ibikunle Amosun and the perfect host in Oyo’s Isiaka Ajimobi.

The concentration of the governors, in a proud Yoruba monument like Cocoa House, in the heart of Ibadan, the political capital of the Yoruba, plotting a better future for generations yet unborn, gives the happy impression that Yorubaland is in safe hands.

It is in safe hands not because it is ruled by a certain political party, though since politics is the incubation of policy, that could be a contributory factor.

Rather, it is in safe hands because the regnant governments in the region have keyed into the wisdom that South West integration is imperative, if the Yoruba must maintain their economic and developmental health in a Nigeria not so sure of its federal status.

With the clear failure of Nigeria’s fake federalism, it is only natural the Yoruba find a way to internally strengthen their infrastructure, boost their education, harness their agriculture to enhance food security and, as it was in the glorious era of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, show the rest of Nigeria how to make development the centre-piece of public policy.

This is not to break Nigeria up. On the country, it is to rejig its comatose – if not dead – federalism; and show the rest of the country how each region, if well organized, can do well for itself, by eating from its own sweat, to the glory of a better federal Nigeria.

That was what made the West of Chief Awolowo such a pacesetter. DAWN may yet make the South West of this time another pacesetter, pointing towards what a future, a prosperous, real federal Nigeria could be. That is the direction to go.

For this, the governments of the South West now deserves big appreciation for buying into the vision of an integrated Yoruba region. Coming closely on the heels of the mirage of central mainstreaming that left nothing but socio-economic aridity, it is a correct reading of history. It is a right step in the right direction.

But inasmuch as the beginning is correct and logical, it is only the beginning. So, the real work has just begun. But the completion of a good job is as good as the sweat that goes into it. It is planting time. Let everyone work extra hard in the vineyard of a secure and prosperous Yoruba future.

But as the DAWN Commission Director-General, Dipo Famakinwa stressed, the project is integrated development of Western Nigeria. Though it is a region home to the Yoruba, contributions from every Nigerian that lives in the region is welcome.

We hope however that positive results from this experiment would encourage the other geo-political regions to look inward for their own developmental salvation, and force a rethinking of the go-and-collect-dole-at-the-centre mentality that now drives ‘federal’ Nigeria; and sentenced the majority to structural poverty. If that works, then the imperative to restructure Nigeria along productive federal lines, and greatly pare down the over-bloated federal government would be so obvious.

As for Governor Mimiko who was absent from the DAWN Office commissioning, he should not miss the next opportunity later this month. As Governor Aregbesola said during the South West Integration Expo organized by The Nation newspaper in Osogbo, politics is gone. Now is the time to think development.

Mimiko cannot afford to shut Ondo out from the South West integration train on the basis of perceived partisan differences. History would be harsh to him if he did.

FG, States, LGs share N715.8bn for July

on August 23, 2013 at 1:10 am in Business

Abuja - The Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), on Thursday shared N715.8 billion among the three tiers of government for July.

The Minister of State for Finance, Dr Yerima Ngama, disclosed this to newsmen shortly after the committee’s meeting in Abuja.

“The total revenue distributed for July, including Value Added Tax (VAT), is N715. 845billion.

“The distributable statutory revenue was N483.482 billion which was below what was budgeted for the month by N111.282 billion.

“It was, however, less than what was collected in June, which was put at N140.285 billion.

“The sum of N115 billion, being part payment of the arrears of argumentation for June, was proposed for the month.

“The sum of N7.6 billion was refunded by NNPC, while N35.5 billion was proposed for distribution under the SURE-P programme.

`The Federal Government received N227.5 billion (52.68 per cent), states had N115.3 billion (26.72 per cent), while the local governments got N88. 9 (20.60 per cent)”, he said.

The minister added that N45.1 billion or 13 per cent Derivation Fund was paid to the six oil producing states.

Ngama said the gross revenue of N497. 9 billion received for the month was lower than the N863.0 billion received in the previous month by N365.0 billion.

“This was due to continuous theft of crude oil, leakages, pipeline breaks at various terminals, some machine failure and repairs.

“Also, downward review of some companies estimates and a judgment debt by the Tax Appeal Tribunal on Education Tax reduced PPT payable for the month,’he said.

The minister said the mineral revenue collected for the month was N361.9 billion, adding that the amount was less than N550.3 billion received in June.

He said the non-mineral revenue collected in May was N136.0 billion, showing a decline of N176.6 billion compared to N312.6 that was collected in June.

Ngama said N4.1billion was paid to Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and N2.3 billion to Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) as collection fee for the month.

He said the balance of the Excess Crude Account was 5.1 billion dollars.

Mr Timothy Odah, the Chairman, Finance Commissioners Forum, apologised to Nigerians for the late sharing of the revenue.

He explained that the delay was due to the dwindling resources and late returns on the part of the collecting agencies.

Odah said the National Council of Economic Development (NACOFED) conference which took place in Niger state last week and the CBN conference on small scale industries, also led to the delay.

He urged states to apply the money shared to revenue generating projects. (NAN)
