Because of your love for football, we have compared your fave schools with some football power houses. Check it out.

In a country where the third largest religion is soccer, Nigerian youths can see football in everything.

Nigerians’ love for football is so much that university communities are not left out of the soccer fever in the country.

Soccer is a national sport, that gets Nigerians attentions. From local leagues to European football leagues, there are fans everywhere.

If Nigerian universities have football academies, the soccer department would probably be oversubscribed because of our seemingly national passion for the round leather game.

Interestingly, Nigeria Universities are not offering soccer related courses but some of these institutions share similar behaviours or characteristics with some European football houses.

Pulse compares your favourite Universities with European Football Clubs and here are the results of the comaprison.

1. UNILAG vs Manchester United FC



The University of Lagos in terms of characteristics and history share some similarities with the Red Devils.

Just like Manchester United FC, UNILAG has a history with records that no university in Lagos state has been able to match.

As you all know that the Red Devil is the first English Club to win the treble, so is UNILAG the first University to win double – the first to have Radio and TV station. The respect UNILAG commands is much like that of the Red Devil. Even a president could not change its name.

2. Covenant University vs Manchester City FC



Tucked away in the heart of Ogun state, Covenant University from a state of obscurity rose to be one of the best (if not the best) in Nigeria. Even if we all agree that CU is not the topmost university in Nigeria, we can not deny the fact that it is one of the top four institutions. If you disagree, check out the top 10 universities in Nigeria here.

The rise and rise of Covenant University among private and government-owned universities in Nigeria is pretty like that of Manchester City FC. The striking similarity between these two institutions is their financial strength. As institutions, both Man City and Covenant University have rich owners.

3. Obafemi Awolowo University- Liverpool FC


The common denominator between Obafemi Awolowo University and Liverpool FC is what many people refer to as past glory.

Liverpool and OAU some years ago used to be the best institutions in their different leagues. As an academic institution, OAU is one of the first generation universities that made land mark achievements in the past.

4. University of Ibadan- Real Madrid FC


In the 2017 THE World University Ranking, the University of Ibadan is the only institution that represents Nigeria in the rating. That makes UI the best University in the country, right?

Also, in the Webomatric university ranking in 2018, University of Ibadan tops the list. Doesn’t that make UI the champion back to back?

Because of these achievements, we decide to place the premier institution side by side with Real Madrid because the Los Blancos always prove their worth among European Champions…that is what UI is to Nigerian Universities.

Again, University of Ibadan is the first University in Nigeria, it has produced great scholars and academic giants renowned for their works. From Chinua Achebe to Wole Soyinka to Christopher Okigbo, Elechi Amadi and so on, this institution has a lot of scholars to be proud of.

Same can be said of Real Madrid’s the Galacticos.

5. Lagos State University vs Chelsea FC



One would have thought LASU by virtue of its location-Lagos would have been regarded as Man city rivalling the Red Devil, but LASU and Man City do not have many things in common.

Like Chelsea, LASU has had series of management crisis that led to the sack of Vice Chancellors.

Another interesting fact about these two institutions is that BLUE is the official colour of both Lagos State University and Chelsea Football Club.

Honorary Mention… Arsenal FC

Shout out to Nigerian students who are Arsenal fans. The North London Club could have made this list, but we look around but didn’t see any higher institution that has been overseen and managed by one Vice Chancellor for over 20 years.

But if you think there is any Nigerian university, polytechnic or College of Education that shares some characteristics with Arsenal FC tell us in the comment section. Thank you.

For some reason I just belief Lautech and Arsenal would fit. And the common denominator would be inconsistency, disappointment, instability and emotional dissaray of anyone connected to them in one shape or form.

EKITI STATE UNIVERSITY- EVERTON

Lautech -STOKE CITY FC

OOU -WESTBROW (always struggling)

Landmark university -PSG

LEAD CITY -Southampton (ALWAYS TRYING TO FRUSTRATE BIG TEAM)

And hw come all d unis are from one region of d country?

Funaab- Leicester city

abeg i agree with u on lasu and chelsea for one more reason...na thugs dey patronise both...but Abu suppose dey ur list as barcelona

Loving UI

Lemme add to your list

ABU (Celtic) They are the only good one in thier league.Abu the only good Uni in The north.
Lautech (Sunderland) The always fight relegation untill they finally went in 2016 Lautech was also on strike for close to Age in 2016-2017. lautech have tried to be coping with strike


AFE Babalola PSG.They are just expensive for nothing in 2016 medical stidents were paying as high as 4M but were using EKSUTH with the Eksu student that paid 100k.In the south west they dont see them as a big fighter yet they are the most expensive.

UniAbuja ( Spur) They are in the capital yet they have nothing to show for it just like Spurs in london yet no cup to show.
Unimaid(chapanesance) sorry i cant spell it well that brazillian club that its players died in plane crash.Unimaid is the main nigeria university that is rocked by insurgencies problems and have lost his lecturers and students to BH

Uniport,UJ,UniBen,Unical,Unilorin. Valencia,Lyon,Sevila,Rangers Dortmund respectivly.They are just relevant but title is not thier problem.They just want to be among the old university.

FUTA: Monaco.They make great students attimes and even top the big teams just like Monaco won the legue. 1 in 2017 with PSG,and made it to semi final of UCL.also exports talent and became supermarket to the rich sugar daddies arrd.FUTA have been doing very good they are the first university to launch a satelite to the space in 2017.They have been doing well in the aspect of technology.Have the best geology department.Best space department(CESRA),West Africa Climate Studies (WASCAL) but not among the big boys OAU,UI e.t.c.like Monaco many private Universities (Elizade,Jabu,wesley,Achivers E.t.c) and the State University(AAUA,OSUTECH) arround Akure depends on Futa for resources and lecturers.Former VC of RUN,Salem University,And Current VC of Elizade University,VC of AAUA, Akungba, current Rector of Fed poly Ile -Oluji ,Rector of Rufus Giwa poly Owo. are all from FUTA.Just like Monaco that sold Mbappe,Bakayoko,Ederson,benjamin Mandy,e.t.c to richer guys.


Fed university Of Agric markudi just like Zenith in russia they are good in there own.


ABTI .Shangai shua (China) They are biting more than they can chew.Shangai bought drogba, Anelka and later release them when they cant pay much heavy wage.Later went to buy Tevez and placed him on £512000/wk now they cant pay looking for a way to dispose him.Abti very expensive but no result to show.bring in whites amd call it American university but nothing American about them apart from thier calender summer,winter in a country that have raining season and dry season.

trash...
No 1 religion is soccer. The rest are counterfeit.

Never do such mistake again

Uniport should be Arsenal. The school is undecided about it's future. You can't call it a big school and you cant call it a small school ans with high fees('Arsenal has the most expensive match day ticket in Uk)

OP. e be like you think say Nigeria start for Lagos end for Akure
