No Nigerian university makes world’s most influential list

The annual Global Universities' ranking by Quacquarell Symonds (QS), was released recently and no Nigerian university made the top 1, 000 most influential schools in the world. Seven universities in South Africa and six in Egypt were among the top 700. Sad for us. Check on it HERE

    1. Linda if u were surprised, then u need Jesus...lolz
      While schools around the world keep improving, our lecturers are looking for better pay after all d sorting fee, their recycled text books from the 70s they make us buy by all means...The government on the other hand has relegated education to the back of the back seat. I bet u, no Nigerian schools wld even be among the ist 2000.. Its not a curse, its the bitter truth

    3. Pls where are all dos schools dat collect 800k for dier fees per semester? Dey arnt in a list of 1000? Too bad and wat a shame indeed it is. D standard/quality of education in Nigeria keeps deteriorating by d day. Wit all d money dey make dey can't put up dier schools to standard. Again I say, wat a shame. Y won't ppl send dier kids outside dis effing country to skul?

    Saad...a foreign second degree is what most Nigerian graduates aim for...because even d Nigerian degree cert is not respected in the homeland...

    I'd rather school in Ghana...than Nigeria...so sad.

    A man once said that he will rather be treated by a 70 year old Nigerian veterinary doctor than a recent Nigerian medical doctor graduate!!..that tells the story...no confidence in our current education system compared with the good old days..

  23. Its not a surprise....The govt is focused on mere political party n he's reign as president again than the future. Basically, d youths who r meant to b the developing force are asked to sit @ home while "foolish old mumus" who have been there since independence are still calling d shots. So tell me how can there be progress. Huh? Sick country, greedy leaders and scared youths.

  28. Linda why are you sad, South African government gives 40% of there yearly budget to education, Nigeria gives only 6.7%.You simply can't have what you didn't work for. Went to report at my PPA some months ago it is the almighty Great Ife, the Dean of Student Affairs was so proud of the school, making it sound as if its d only university in d world, common first 1000 dey couldn't make.

  32. What do they teach in the Nigerian university sef? It is only when you graduate that you realize that Nigerian schools don't educate you, they just saturate your brain, walahi!!! They just pack theory on your head and fail to help you put em into practice, leaving unprepared for the real world. The strikes does not even help, little wonder why people are trooping to even Niger! For quality education.

  90. It starts from buying and selling and upgrading of waec results from secondary school level even sorting out of common entrance exams of primary school level. In all, when time seemed so innocent; an evil seed was planted by the mating of a low performance driven teacher and a greed driven lazy parent when our valueless naira exchanged their hands thus selling any hope of a bright future of an innocent child unfortunately born into a soceity that holds no value for excellence through hardwork. I initially thought we had any university, only to find out it was a political body called ASUU. So why would anybody from this part of void be dissapointed when human beings rank their universities.

  102. Seriously were you expecting any Nigerian university to be on the list?
    No parent who has the capability wants his children to attend university in Nigeria. Nigerians now attend university in the republic on benin!The lecturers only sell handouts and request money for marks that is why most of our graduates are unemployable if we are true to ourselves. Some can hardly spell or string sentences correctly.
    No research of any sort which is what the academia is know for. Something needs to be done and urgently too

  116. Every year Nigerians go to Ghana and spend more than $7,000 yearly developing the educational sector of Ghana, hundreds of students paying for almost the same form of Education you should get in Nigeria,(without asuu strikes or cultism).

    My Point is we do not value the little things in this country. There are so many ways to make Nigerian schools and universities self sustaining (eradicating the frequent strikes) but our leaders are not equip to think!...
