List of Courses and Nigerian Universities Known For Offering Them
Note: This list is based on the opinion of a UNIUYO student.
Universities are not new to Nigeria. In fact, Nigeria had Universities before the advent of independence.
This shows that Nigerians admonish and appreciate literacy.
From the first generation Universities of the 1950s and 60s to the second generation of the 70s and 80s and the third generation of the 90s and the 21st century, Universities have sprung up in the country in all forms.
We have Federal, State and Privately owned Universities in Nigeria as well as Specialised Universities in the fields of Education, Engineering and Technology, Petroleum Resources, Management Science and Health Science/Technology.
Everyday new Universities are built, Colleges of Education and Polytechnics are gradually becoming obsolete and some have the fortune of being converted into Universities.
Because of the proliferation of Universities in the country, some youngsters and students find it difficult to select schools to attend. Although this seems like a paradox (because the higher the number of schools, the better the choices) but the truth is that not all schools are the same.
Some Universities have, over the years, proven themselves to be excellent and extra-ordinary in training students of certain fields/disciplines; both disciplinary, vocational and professional. It is not that other schools do not offer the same courses or do well, it is simply that a particular school has a well trained faculty, standard structures and facilities, rich legacies and superb alumni networks.
Prospective students will eventually do better if they select Universities that are well known for the courses they’ve applied for.
Without being too verbose, the aim of this thread is simple: to highlight some Nigerian Universities and the disciplines/courses they are well known for. The schools I present are those I am well familiar with.
This means I may not include schools I don’t have sufficient data on. However, as a reader, you may help me in that by adding schools you are familiar with and disciplines you know. This list is wholly personal and based on subjective findings.
My data was generated based on alumni strength, the amount of academics the schools produce in the field, the nature and class of results produced by students in the department, the output of students(practicals, development, research, etc), physical structures present in the departments, accreditation status and stability of department, number of academic staff as well as their academic pedigree, number and impact factors of journals and academic outputs from department, etc.
These were sourced from University’s websites, internet research and other sources. As a reader, you may not agree with what I’ve written but in that case, feel free to add your own findings. Learning, as they say, is a continuous process. This list is presented below:

This list, like I earlier said, is subjective and based on my established parameters. Even in its subjectivity, I have been as objective as possible. Let us all put our heads together and make the choices easier for potential students who are confused on where to school.
7 Most Difficult Courses To Study In Nigerian Universities
Note: This list is based on the opinion of a UNIZIK student.
I think what I have below are the most difficult course to study in any Nigerian universities.
1) Medicine & surgery:
In the field of medicine, it is another world of studies because you will find yourself studying for many years, some may succeed but some will deviate to another major.
2) Law:
Being a law student is what most of aspirants wants but law is just like medicine you will spend most of your time in school also spending your time reading many books
3) Engineering:
The field of engineering is the field of technology, not only being a technician, you must also apply the knowledge of mathematics to your work. that is, it entails lots of calculation. it is said that there is no fine boy in engineering department because all don’t have time for that.
4) Mathematics:
We all know what mathematics is all about and what it takes, a mathematician is a professional in mathematics, mathematics. involves lots of calculation thought your life.
5) Statistics:
This is another discipline that is just like mathematics, statisticians are applied mathematicians, they use mathematics to solve real life problems, it entails lots of mathematics and some borrowed courses that are not even part of your discipline (e.g, economics)
6) Chemistry:
You guys may be surprised about this major but chemistry is not an easy course, chemistry is really a broad course, you find out using your time mixing chemicals in the lab and cramming formulas and theories.
7) Architecture:
Architecture is another discipline that in which you spend most of your time in school, at times you sleep in school drawing and sketching diagrams for planning.

Fans ask Davido to beg Wizkid for forgiveness.
It has been a hard time now for Davido who lost three of his crew members within couple of two days to undisclosed cause of death. No one knows what cause the death of their young virtual guys.
Now, we want to identify something.
Remember, wizkid hit song "the matter" which was released in 2012, he throw a punchlines which goes like this "20 man shall fall down if you cross my lanes oo". Who is crossing wizkid if not Davido, 3 have died and now it remains 17 to died. Davido should better go and beg wizkid before another of crew members died.

My Igbo friend is in love with a Hausa /muslim lady.

Love they say has no boundaries and limitations. It is real and unique in the sense that it brings happiness to two pairs in love if well decided and kept faithful.
I am an Igala by tribe from kogi State and i school in federal polytechnic Idah kogi State(a polytechnic in Igala land). There I met one igbo guy called Mathew Chimezie, who also school at the same polytechnic. We became friends in our first semester and we always talk and discuss to the extend, we reveal each other secret to our self.
Chimezie is a very tribal guy, he really hates other tribe and Muslim to an extend of ranting hate speech on them publicly. Every knows him by that as a religion intolerant guy.
In my school, we have many students from different tribes there like Hausa, Igbo, Idoma, Tiv, Yoruba etc and the host Igala.
One day when Chimezie and I was sitting in 's class, Chimezie saw a pretty Hausa girl in our department wearing a mini Hijab. She is the same level with us, she was extremely beautiful and charming. His eye continue to stare at the lady and I noticed it but I didn't bother him from staring at her rather I myself began to admire the girl beauty.
The next day, When Chimezie and I was strolling, we saw the girl in group of her friends walking, Chimezie left me immediately and I followed him, he followed the girl to her lodge without the girl noticing it. He was able to locate the girl lodge and the room number she is staying. I was still confused why all this drama then I later gather courage and I asked him, Chimezie what is wrong with you? He said he is in love with that girl on Hijab that he has got further details about her that she is an Hausa girl and her name is Aisha Ahmed who is a Muslim. He says "I love her and I like her to be my girlfriend even though she is an Hausa /muslim.
The next day, when we were doing final submission, we were all line up for the submission and Aisha was the third person while Chimezie was the fifth. When Aisha submitted her file with her phone number on top of the file, and left the line then came the turn of Chimezie, he secretly cram Aisha phone number from the file on the table.
He later began to called her most often, but the girl was angry for the called from unknown person who always kept telling her that he loves her. One day he finally reveal himself to the girl and told the girl that he loves her.
But the girl refused telling her that she can't dates a Christian and Igbo for that matter. My friend left her at that instance and now my friend is really angry and still thinking about the girl uptill now, she is really desperate to have the girl, what should he do? Should he forgets about the girl or continue persuading her

His Royal Majesty, Dr . Michael Idakwo Ameh Oboni , the Attah Igala , tells GBENGA ODOGUN about his life as the traditional ruler of the Igala
As father of the Igalas , what are some of the social and sacred duties you perform?
The Attah , in the first place , is a ‘ Priest King ’ . He is first and foremost , a priest and also a king . So he has this dual role as the Attah Igala . He owns the land from the extreme south of the kingdom to the extreme north of the kingdom ; the same thing from the bank of the River Niger here to the eastern boundary towards the east . Apart from that , the Attah wields authority over the chiefs and the land resources therein . Attah is like any other king , he has so many dos and don ’ ts .
Can you mention some of them sir?
The Attah is not expected to eat or dance in the public . He is not expected to shake hands with any woman . The Attah is not expected to behold an infant except he is over three months . The Attah does not enter a canoe . He is not expected to see a dead body . The Attah by his position is expected to protect the originality of the people through governance on the throne . A blessing from the Attah is considered as the blessing from the highest priest of the land .
Is it true that the Attah must not place a curse on anybody ?
What happens is that if the Attah wishes anybody well , behold the person shall prosper. But when he wishes a man evil, it will go with him . So the Attah is considered as powerful as any priest in the land who administers curses or blessings on anybody .
Is the throne hereditary ?
Yes it is . There are four ruling houses – Ocholi dynasty , Aju Akwu dynasty , Aju Amacho and Aju Akogwu . After one family rules , the others take their turn. My predecessor is from another family but all from Ayegba root . So , his own time has come and gone and after my reign , another family will follow before it comes back again to our turn.
Is the oracle consulted to determine the person that would become the king from a dynasty ?
Even the woman frying akara on the road knows the family that will produce the next Attah .
After the ruling family has selected the Attah , being the next family in line, they would be asked to come and meet a chief called Etemayi and announce that their family has already zeroed in on one person as the next Attah . Then the Etemayi will go to the Achadu ( the next person to the Attah ) and tell him that a successor has been found . Then he would examine him to see if he is physically fit and without deformity. He will also check if he is a stammerer. A stammerer cannot be the Attah . You must be of average height and you must be athletic in appearance . Without all these qualities, Achadu can disqualify the candidate and tell the family to produce another candidate . If the deformity is obvious, the Achadu will disqualify the candidate because traditionally, the Attah - to - be is going to be the wife of the Achadu so he must have good qualities and everything must be working in his body . After that, the Attah -elect must have to proceed to Ugwolawo , about 16miles away from Idah on the way to Anyigba , where he will pass the night. He will start the journey of 16 miles back to Idah by foot before coronation is started. When the coronation ceremony starts properly in Idah , they will go to the burial ground and carry nine Ifa priests in the night, and all the priests would stay and do their divination to see how the Attah ’ s reign would be and whether he would be so harsh on the kingdom that would cause them to go to war or whether he would be the one that would bring about peace . If finally they agree the Attah would be crowned , he would be crowned the following morning.
Can you tell us a bit about your early childhood?
I never grew up with my parents; I grew up in the Catholic mission. That was where I did my primary and secondary school.
Did you ever have any premonition of becoming the Attah Igala?
Never. I was taken by surprise . Though it was our family’ s turn to produce the next Attah , politicians and people who never meant well deployed all sorts of unknown rules to the process . It became a free for all fight. I stayed and waited for them to call me. I was qualified by all standards and I went and contested with about five or six persons and I won .
How did you feel when you won ?
I felt happy and my gratitude is to God Almighty for the might to contest with people who had money and support and yet I excelled. Everyone had his own concept of the Attah . I personally thought the Attah would be a fierce looking person but when I look into the mirror , I would be wondering if my face could be that of the Attah . Each morning , I would get to the bathroom and I would spend up to 40minutes without water touching my body . I would just be looking at myself in the mirror . Sometimes, I would try to frown to see if that was how the Attah should look like. I didn ’ t know I was just deceiving myself. I felt elated to see myself on the throne . My house became a sort of Mecca .
What were you doing before you ascended the throne?
I was a retired estate officer from the Federal Capital Development Authority ( FCDA ) . I retired as a deputy acting director before I settled in Lokoja where I had built my house to wait upon God ’ s time .
What were some of the things you were doing before that you no longer do ?
If I mention them , you may not believe but I have left all of that behind me , I am born again . I am a new man otherwise I would not be on this seat for two weeks. I have left them behind, I am a new creature with a new agenda , with a new direction and a new slate for good writing .
As a socialite , I used to socialise with my friends . We used to go to any beer parlour , have our beer, eat and relax . I cannot do that now . I am banned from shaking a woman’ s hand , I cannot shake my sister , and I cannot shake hands with my aunt. In those days, I shake those whom I know . Now I have nine masquerades and how do I perform the festival for them if I don ’ t keep myself cleansed as prescribed by tradition ? I don’ t even walk on the streets because I would be attracted to so many people . These are some of the things I cannot do again . I know how to ride motorcycle and bicycle but I cannot just ride again because that would be like lowering my personality. It has made life to change for me overnight .
How do you relate with your subjects?
We talk to them . We have traditional court sessions every morning, they bring their cases and I solve them . The ones I cannot solve , we fix another date for them . I have councillors covering the entire length and breadth of the empire . They would report to me what is happening in our place at the riverside and the same thing for the other people who are at the hinterland .
What role does your wife play in the palace ?
Well, there is no defined role for the wife of the Attah . What she is supposed to do is to take care of the less privileged in the society . She takes care of the orphans and she gives them food.
Can an Attah choose to have one wife?
I have chosen to stay with one wife because one wife is even too many . I am the first Attah in history to stay with one wife and I am comfortable with that.
So many people may not know how large Igala Kingdom is , would you mind telling us?
Igala kingdom was reduced by the British administration and further reduced by our own internal administration. That is why we have Igala race in five states . To show the extent of the size of the Igala race , we have Igala in Benue , Enugu, we also have Igala people from Ichi in Anambra. We have Igala community in Delta State and we have Igalas in Edo State .
Apart from all the places you have mentioned within the country, do we have them outside Nigeria?
We don’ t have them outside Nigeria because we are right at the centre of the country. Even within Kogi State , we have sizeable Igala population in Kogi central . We have them in Adogo, and Ajaokuta.
Are they united as one people ?
The unity is the language we speak , I can call the chief in Anambra State and we would communicate in Igala . I have demonstrated it by putting a call through to a chief in that state and it was in Igala that we communicated because Igala language is spoken in all these places.
Do you really take time to visit your people in these states ?
I have not really done that but I am in constant communication with them .
They come here to pay homage before celebrating their festivals there . We are preparing to start celebrating our festivals and when we commence, they will also come . During my coronation , all the chiefs from all the states I talked about were represented here .
Would you mind telling us the origin of the Igala people ?
Talking about the origin of the Igala people , a sizeable group migrated from Wukari in Taraba State from where they came to Benue along the River Benue and continued very close to the confluence at a place called Amagede by River Benue and slightly down from Amagede downwards to Idah and they settled there . And there , they met a sizeable population of the Yorubas and the Benins and to some extent , some Igbo . So the migrant population from Wukari merged with them and produced a language called Igala as a people .
What do the Igala people do in terms of occupation ?
The occupation is very obvious , we have the land and there is enough rainfall . The land is fertile. We are predominantly farmers . We are also hunters and fishermen.
In terms of customs and culture what are the major festivals ?
We have so many annual festivals . We celebrate when there is good harvest , we mourn when we have losses and that is how every other community in Africa behaves and we cannot be an exception . But we have our native calendar and all of them go along with our festival . When there is harvest , we have the celebration of yam festival . A small seed was put in the ground and it grew big and would be used to feed so many families. It is a way of offering prayers to God , we have this feast, and we call it Iyalo Igala .
In 1963, some of our traditions were proscribed. We have one of the best masquerades in West Africa . Attah as a priest /king has nine masquerades and all of them perform some functions in our tradition. So we have all year round festivities. But in 1964 they stopped them .
Who stopped them?
The people that inherited our leadership from the British . Those who were in the house of chiefs said it was too fetish or it was dominated by too much of African religion. So by 1964 we were young boys then and so , those before us took the decision . But we are trying to revive it because we cannot stay without culture as culture is life. We must restore it.
Which areas are you ready to revive if the ban is lifted today ?
It depends on our own calendar of the year . If the ban on it is lifted today , we will check to know the festival to celebrate immediately and our nine masquerades will come out. It is a way of praying to God , thanking God for all His blessings . Those who are not initiated into the system will think that we are worshipping a stone god. But we use this to express our gratitude to the Almighty for His benevolence on us .
Who will lift the ban ?
The onus rests on the State House of Assembly so that we can be celebrating . Nobody can put a very heavy chain on our necks. Every other community in Nigeria celebrates their festival so why not us ? They have to restore it. It is what brings us together; it is the source of our unity .
Have you approached state assembly on this?
Yes, it has been mentioned twice and we are waiting for the final one .
Do you have taboos in your kingdom ?
You cannot go out of your way to take another person ’ s wife . You cannot go and steal in the market, if you do that you will be lynched. It is like it is everywhere, ours is not peculiar .

Extra-judicial killings should not be encouraged. Cultist or not

so bad

Navy went on operation in Idah kogi State to wipe out Armed robbers and cultist. During their operations, this young man called Chukwudi aka Osaji was the only person that was caught and shoot when he try to retaliate(by pulling his weapon out to attacked them).
He was shoot three times and he died. His cultist members say they will revenge for the death of their member. There regards him as "Egede mi".
I personally know this guy but I don't know that he was cultist before this incident happened. Rest in Peace Chukwudi

The profile of a man who calls Nigeria a zoo

Nnamdi Kanu attended University of Nigeria (Nsukka) with the help of Federal Government of Nigeria scholarship grant

2) Nnamdi Kanu was born in 1972 implying that he never experienced Biafra- Nigeria civil war (1967-1970) and the resultant horrors

3) The father of Nnamdi Kanu is a village head in Abia State (Nigeria) who receive monthly salary from Federal Government of Nigeria

4) Nnamdi Kanu's wife and children are british citizens who cannot speak Igbo language

5) Nnamdi Kanu is a british citizen. (Note): if there is war in Nigeria today, Britain will send warship to Nigeria and rescue Nnamdi Kanu back to London leaving behind his 'blind, deaf and dumb' supporters to suffer effects of war

6) Nnamdi Kanu said he is of Jewish Religion. (Note): Reading books from two foremost Igbo historians (Professor Ifeatu Afigbo and Professor Kenneth Dike), i was made to understand that there is no place for Jewish Religion in Igboland. Rather, the Igbos are usually Catholics, Anglicans and Traditionalists

7) Nnamdi Kanu said he is greater compared to Jesus Christ. (Note): With this statement, it is glaring to state here that Nnamdi Kanu is mentally deranged.

Thanks.
