so, it is only S.A and Eygpt that has uni hmmmm. what happen to the U.I, UNN and Unilag of Nigeria, to mention a few. they must be high.
Na wa o
So no Nigerian university made the list.
Smh.
If S.A and Egypt are the only countries with the best universities in Africa, why did Patrick Sawyer come all the way from Liberia to seek proper medical attention in Nigeria? He should have gone to either Egypt or S.A since it is on ‘record’ that some of Africa’s top medical and engineering professionals graduated from their universities…I’m feeling fuzzy about this ranking though.
Don’t mind them…they don’t want to admit that we are the giant of Africa. #badbelleisallowed#
It seems dats d merit list coz no nigerian uni was included, pls when will release d supplimentary list? Coz nija must be on d supplimentary list am sure of dat.
Lol
Lol…or perhaps Direct Entry list. Na wa o
The list may have been dominated by Egyptian and South African Universities but exactly what do you guys expect? SA and Egypt are the two most advance economy in Africa and as well, has to some extent, the best of everything in Africa – including some of the best Universities in the world not just in Africa. South African and Egyptian Universities are often research-crazy thus the two country are the two leaders in scientific research in Africa. Some of their discoveries has gained worldwide attention. I humbly suggest to anyone who feel as though the list is part of some ‘anti-Nigerian’ campaign to go do some googling up of those universities and watch some Youtube videos on them too, compare them with what we have here. And then come back here and apologize for wasting space and for being ignorant in the first place.
Onpoint*
And some people are still comfortable with the status quo, enemies of change.
Na only South Africa and Egypt Universities dey??? Abi wetin I dey see
unilag is NO.1 In NIGERIA and 20 In Africa…vry soon we are getting to the top
