Ajigijaga The Broken Bottle Passes On At 65
No Nigeria university Make Top 30 in the Latest Top Best Universities In Africa
I was surprised when the list of top 30 universities in Africa
were listed and could you believe no Nigeria university was in the top 30,ummmm
what a shame ,south/Egypt dominated the
list, even the mighty Obafemi awolowo university was left out of the top 30
And it’s here, just released Friday, though only ranking the
top 30 of Africa’s approximately 2,600 higher education institutions.
THE Africa University Ranking
1. University of Cape Town (South Africa)
2. University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa)
3. Makerere University (Uganda)
4. University of Stellenbosch (South Africa)
5. University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa)
6. University of Port Harcourt (Nigeria)
7. University of the Western Cape (South Africa)
8. University of Nairobi (Kenya)

12. University of Ghana (Ghana)
13. University of South Africa (South Africa)

26. Alexandria University (Egypt)
27. Assiut University (Egypt)
28. University of Sfax (Tunisia)
29. University of Yaounde (Cameroon)
30. Minia University(Egypt)
These results are essentially based on the amount of
citations there are for the university’s work. They are derived from the
methodology for the current world university ranking, using the 13 factors
(below), combining THE’s own enormous database of statistics along with the
Elsevier’s Scopus database - a system that highlights some of the continent’s
top performers in terms of how often research papers are referred to and cited
by other academics globally. This methodology is designed for the research-led
globally facing university. Times Higher Education emphasised that not everyone
in Africa will find the metrics appropriate to their mission or their strategic
priorities making this ranking a starting point of a longer, inclusive
conversation involving African institutions.
One of the big surprises was the omission of several African
universities that have consistently featured high up on global ranking lists.
Namely; Cairo University, University of Ibadan, University of Nigeria and
Al-Azhar University in Egypt.
The other surprise was the appearance of unexpected or
lesser-known institutions, such as the Universite Cadi Ayyad (10), Port
Harcourt (6), the Universite de Sfax in Tunisia (28), Universite Hassan II (15)
and several other institutions from Egypt namely; Suez Canal University (14),
South Valley University and Minia University (30) .
In an interview with M&G Africa, Phil Batty - Editor of
the Times Higher Education World University Rankings - explained that even
though they have spent the last 4-5 years modifying and refining a methodology
that would be better suited to an African, as opposed to a global, ranking -
“there’s still a long way to go”. He said that what THE has “created is a
snapshot of research strength”.
Batty was also candid about the lack of extensive data in
creating this first THE Africa university ranking. That this is “the very start
of the story. [Because] world rankings are driven by research, innovation and
tech development, we need to work with African universities on [indicators such
as] their teaching and graduate success…the rankings we’re publishing are
actually very much the starting point. We want to use this conference to
convince universities to start collecting and sharing data more consistently.”
The build up
How true is these news ,Nicki Minaj breaks up with Meek Mill?
According to MTO..
Just when you thought that Meek Mill's week couldn't get ANY WORSE . . . MediaTakeOut.com learned that Nicki Minaj and Meek have officially decided to call it QUITS. Nicki reportedly broke it off with Meek LAST NIGHT. Don't worry concertgoers . they are still of GOOD TERMS - at least NICKI IS with Meek. The two plan on FULFILLING the rest of the tour obligations together. But as for their relationship . .. . it's a WRAP.
What caused the BREAKUP . . . and why did it happen LAST NIGHT . . . shortly after Meek Mill's new diss track FLOPPED??
According to one of Nicki's BEST FRIENDS, "It's complicated. I think they took their relationship too far, too fast." Nicki's homie REFUSED to say whether the Drake WAR had anything to do with it. But we suspect that IT DID.
Only time will tell..
