Covenant university is unarguably the best university in Nigeria and among top 5 in Africa

[@fistandpen2505]

> Based on rankings, South Africa and Egypt have the best schools by far. > In Sub-saharan Africa, Nigeria has the best schools collectively (other than South Africa). > Other than South Africa/Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco dominate the rankings of best schools in Africa. Nigeria has 15 schools in the top 76 based on the T.H.E. Rankings and two schools in the top 10 based on U.S. News and World Report. > T.H.E. Rankings rate Covenant very high in Africa: No. 7 in Sub-saharan specific factors, No. 11 in general rankings. So the school ticks all boxes of a top Africa uni, and is perhaps the best all-around uni in Sub-saharan Africa outside of South Africa.

Check our federal university of agriculture abeokuta

Thank you, sir

[@evelynorji2887]

Covenant University looks really beautiful and its the best private university in Nigeria.

[@youme1414]

But, the buildings look cheap!

[@moham.279]

Check out Baze University Abuja. It’s the most expensive in Nigeria

[@AfamOrji]

I hear great things about that school. Thanks for your input.

[@user-yc6kl9yd6m]

This university looks great but it can not be compared infrastructure wise with most of the government own universities in Ghana. Most governments universities in Ghana have better infrastructure than this university Check out 1. KNUST 2. UCC 3. University of Ghana 4. University of education 5. UDS 6. University of Mines 7. UPSA A lot more

[@fistandpen2505]

Nigeria has 15 schools in top 76. Ghana has 4. Different leagues. Facts over feelings.

[@user-yc6kl9yd6m]

And which of the 15 ranks above University of Ghana for example, the individual who made the video was asking about infrastructure wise and that is why I commented. Tell me the highest ranking University in West Africa

[@adamutanimu3219]

Not as beautiful as people speak about I think AUN is still number one in terms of infrastructure but covenant is rated number 1 in academics

[@AfamOrji]

Really? I'll have to visit AUN to see for myself.

[@DiveDeepwithTiffah]

The school is huge!

[@AfamOrji]

Yeah, It's very big

[@lawrenceoyedele8782]

we are not talking about private university

[@Frank-Bediko62]

Accordng to Times Higher Education Ranking, the most source of higher education, no Nigerian university is rated top 10. South has 6 top 10. The Univesity of Cape Coast, Ghana, is the best in West Africa and 7th in Africa. A little bit of research will help.

[@fistandpen2505]

And you should have kept reading the T.H.E Report, not make noise with incomplete research... T.H.E top 10 in Sub-saharan Universities in Africa: Covenant/Nigeria (No. 7) tops Asheshi/Ghana (No. 9). And also: T.H.E Ranking top 11: 2 Nigeria schools, 1 Ghana school. T.H.E Ranking top 11-25: 2 Nigerian schools, 2 Ghana schools T.H.E Ranking top 25 - 50: 3 Nigerian schools, ZERO Ghana schools T.H.E Ranking top 50 - 76: 8 Nigerian schools, 1 Ghana school That is 15 Nigerian schools in the top 76 (4 for Ghana) U.S. News and World Report Rankings: University of Ibadan No. 4, University of Lagos, No. 14. No Ghana schools in top 15 in Africa

[@Frank-Bediko62]

@fistandpen2505 STOP IT! I am using the most current: Times Higher Education Ranking, 2024. No Nigerian university. US News and Report methodology is even laughed at by education experts here in the United States. Do you know the statement, "Top 10." That is why 4th placed athletes don't get medals. Why don't you count till you get to top 1000. Nigeria is 7 times larger (population) than Ghana, so it should've far more universities (7 times) than Ghana. It shows how mediocre and terrible the tertiary education system is.

[@Robert-qh8os]

​@@Frank-Bediko62 I think you should actually take your own advice, and "stop it." Someone clearly presented you with receipts, instead of you to consider them and clarify, you decided to rant. And from what I see, you are not even good at it. So what, that there are more recognized schools at Ghana than Nigerian!? What would you have us do? And considering you've not been thinking with your head, you'd have known it's far difficult to share resources among larger populations. Hopefully, this time around, you'd use your head to make the comparison before you respond. I'd also recommend you learn to research well, it will save you from looking stupid in the future.

[@Frank-Bediko62]

@Robert-qh8os NITWIT! I clearly stated my source. Isn't it a shame that a country of 220m people does not have a university at the top. Nigeria is 7 times the size of Ghana, but it spends almost the same amount on education as Ghana. It tells a lot about the priorities of the elites. The size of Nigeria should be an advantage: what economists call "population dividend." Are counties like India, Brazil, Indonesia, etc, making excuses about size. Stop giving flimsy excuses to justify the mediocrity of the elites while they spend the nation's resources on private and overseas (Ghana included) education of their wards. How could Yahaya Bello steal 80b of Kogi's money on expensive private education of his children? SMH!

[@fistandpen2505]

Frank, I used the very same source. No Nigerian would argue that we want to and should do better in terms of education. Not just true for Nigeria but Africa as a whole (outside perhaps SA). And you said "Ghana included" but you went out of your way to take aim at Nigeria. The reality is that Nigeria has more schools in the top 100 than Ghana. So focus your focus make we focus our focus.

[@DiveDeepwithTiffah]

I saw a post rating top private universities in Nigeria and Covenant came first. I want to see what it looks like.

[@AfamOrji]

Covenant is unarguably the best private university. I just don't know where it ranks with other public universities in Nigeria.

[@youme1414]

Poor infrastructure though.

[@Robert-qh8os]

​@@youme1414 There are obviously schools with better infrastructure. I think your case would have made sense if there was a comparative. Among African schools, I'd argue the infrastructure at Covenant University is better than most.

[@youme1414]

@@Robert-qh8os LBS infrastructure is better organised than Covenant University

[@Robert-qh8os]

@@youme1414 What the hell is LBS? How am I supposed to know what the acronym stands for, whether the institution is in Africa or not? Anyway, your claim may or may not be correct. And let's note how you framed your response, emphasis on "organized", which very much shifts the perspective from efficacy of infrastructures to positioning. But then again, your claim doesn't disprove what I originally said: Covenant University infrastructures beats most African universities. In fact, your response does nothing to my claim which makes me wonder why you brought up LBS in the first place.

[@easybookssoftware7734]

Go online and check the universities ranking in Africa per country and tell your audience the truth. Stop deceiving people here . The top 10 universities in Africa is South Africa, Egypt,Ghana and kenya make your own research

[@Mooseouma]

I don't think so.

[@youme1414]

I disagree with you. South Africa has the best universities in Africa. Despite saying that our universities are better than the ones in Ghana and many in Kenya/

[@michaelbraimah4727]

Which university in nigeria is better than Ghanaian universities, when was the last time you saw students coming from Europe and other African countries to study in Nigeria. Go online and watch Ghanaians universities and compare it to Nigerians universities.

I think some Nigerian universities are some of the best in Africa but I think that the overall best universities in Africa are not Nigerian universities. There are better universities in South Africa and even Ghana.
