@eddieo, thanks bro for those wonderful pix of ABU. I already stated on the ABU thread that we don't make much noise. Just imagine how you single handedly dealt with the OAU noisemakers.

My major problem with them, especially @Olubenger is that they have refused to come up with any pics to back up their claim of OAU being the most beautiful campus. They're all saying the pics @op posted are not a true reflection of the school's true state. I pray them to please do a more decent job than the OP (that's if there's any way to better what I am seeing already).

Even the much publicised pics by Okija juju do little to establish their assertions when compared to the beautiful scenery of ABU.

Let's hold to the subject of beauty and structure and not drift into Academic excellence, except that's the only thing OAU has to offer.

I hope this puts to bed the debate that has gone on for days now about which of the two schools is better in terms of beauty, structure and aesthetics.

@Eddieo, thanks once again for bringing back those memories of that great citadel of learning (waiting for my gift too o). I'm so glad I will be going to Z town during my leave, will catch a glimpse of that beauty once again.

Haters, make una no vex o.... #teamabusites.....naturally ahead of U.

Peace out!!!

I've addressed this issue already, or are you getting emotional?

In Olamide's voice - E o ni duro! ABU is 7UP the difference is clear. For those who are saying the pictures by the OP are not true representation of OAU well, someone uploaded on spot assessment a couple of months back and those pictures are not anywhere close to those we saw of ABU now. Growth is a continuous process and once you stopped growing others will over take you. OAU might have been more beautiful in the earlier days, but now ABU has overtaken. Maybe ten years from now after they have rejuvenated their landscaping then we can start comparing. What you guys are seeing now of ABU is the result of more than ten years of commitment. If you've never been to another person's farm you'd think your father has the largest farm.

In terms of academics, ABU graduates can hold their ground against anyone from any school in Nigeria. I have shamed people who wanted to play the school card on me, during my intern-ship and NYSC; at the end of the day they all wanted to retain me. ABU graduates are humble, discipline,hard-working and they know their onions- at least I can speak for myself and my friends. What I'm saying in essence is that you guys should stop the braggadocio already and just try to be the best in what you do, and not being deluded by the glory of the collective. Thank you.

Olugbenger:



The OP who is from ABU, got some random pics, selected the worst and uploaded them creating this thread. He goes on, using several registered monikers to drive his view and has been exposed.

Now tell me, who is pained?
undecided
Then you should have uploaded the best pics to prove otherwise. QED!

Wow... Ayaff missed alot sha. My summation- Like i said in the other thread, ABU is greener than OAU, but OAU has more solid & eye-catching structures. But the pictures the op posted don't do justice to OAU. Moreover, why are you people obsessed with OAU? In the other ABU thread, it was ABU guys that mentioned OAU first, in a degrading manner that led to backlash from OAU students. I never knew we had ABU students on NL when Okija_juju created a similar thread months ago, but now that the op, an obvious ABU student/alumnus created this degrading thread, you have suddenly found your voices. The obsession/ desperation of you guys have been highlighted by Olugbenger, who noticed that the most active poster in this thread registered in 2007 but had to wait till Dec 2013 to make his first comment, while the op registered just yesterday and his first topic is this. Who does that A look at the op's Senate Building picture shows that the pictures are old, as the side of the building is currently drapped in the 'OAU @ 50' banner which has been there since last year. BTW, ABU has been existing when OAU has been known as 'Africa's Most Beautiful Campus'. Why was ABU overlooked then? Answer(s)? This doesn't take anything away from ABU's beauty tho.

OAU - Great(old) structures but mediocre landscaping
ABU - Okay structures with fantastic landscapining

I like how they've incorporated traditional Yoruba Architecture styles into the University buildings.

Also of note is the school emblem of a Yoruba Bronze Idol.


Its really nice.



This is how Nigeria must progress.

Im not Yoruba, but I must say, the Yorubas are truly setting the standards for Nigeria.

I hope other peoples please learn these good things from them.

I understand why OAU guys were bitter! The myth that their school is the most beautiful in Africa has been on for decades until the ABU thread rubish that ascertion. They should just admit that ABU is more beautiful as neutral alumni has observed. Infact I am surprised that Jarus of all should be seen as trying to offer some excuses based on Op's pictures of OAU, when all he could have done is to upload more quality pictures of the school. As can be seen from the two threads, both schools are very ok by nigerian standard but ABU is far more beautiful and can compete favourably with those found in more advance countries.

sportfeva: I don't know how this thread is competing with ABU. Is just a picture gallery of the school.
No doubts, OAU still has the one the best building structures in Nigeria. We don't make noise. Just come visiting and take a first-hand experience.
Is it structures that are tailored to suit its landscape thereby giving architectural masterpiece, the underground in the senate, the museum, lectures halls, Amphi theater and a host of others etc.
Although, this purpose for this thread is not for comparison but i must be sincere here, O.A.U need to work on it environment.
NUGA Games is coming up next year and i hope to there as well and love to meet some abusite. We will make good friends.
Here are some pictures, don't mind the quality. I am not a pro photographer with pro camera lens.

Will you guys just stop posting pictures of that dirty canoe building. No matter how hard you try to polish it, it still look squalid from every perspective. Also, stop all this building here, building there and concentration on the quality of education rendered by Nigerian universities. angry angry

Why all this!!! M a great ife student and I can categorically say that ABU has a more beautiful environment compared to OAU...might be due to the fact that they have a better maintenance culture... And I will also categorically say that OAU is incomparable when it comes to structures...
