According to their website, 

they do not claim to rank organisations or their programs, by the quality of education or 
level of services provided. The aim of the website is to provide an approximate
popularity ranking of world Universities and Colleges based upon the
 popularity of their websites. 

This is intended to help international students and 
academic staff to understand 
how popular a specific University/College is in a foreign country.

The 4icu.org University Web Ranking is not an academic ranking and 
should not be adopted as the main criteria for 
selecting an higher education organisation where to study.

 How do you feel about the 9 Nigerian universities that made it to top 100 African universities?
