Yabatech's False Claim: an example of lies told by Some Nigerians by ZnO: 6:02pm On Aug 17, 2013
Yaba college of Technology being the first higher institution in Nigeria, third in Africa and twenty-seventh in the world is indeed a place for rich academic culture and heritage. This is why we pride ourself as "Yaba the GREAT"

http://portal.yabatech.edu.ng/Yabatech%20-%20About%20us.html

The stuff in color is a BIG FAT LIE. I made phone calls to Yabatech three years ago about this FALSE claim and they said they stand by it. lol

This is how some people have twisted every bit of Nigeria's history to suit their primordial whims and caprices

For the sake of knowledge, if they are wrong, you can support your argument by given us fact about their false claim. The way to smooth history is not just to claim that others are lying without come up with what you believe is the truth. You said you called them 3 years ago, how are we sure you called the right person? Where is the evidence that you call somebody? What a professional person would have done is to write them with supporting evidence that their claim is wrong, today you will have enough fact against them.

How is this concern Yoruba? What is Yoruba biz in this? Why are you people taking your ignorance beyond redeemable level? What is special about the present Ibo generation you claim to represent than your generation creating enemies toward your tribe? You run your mouth like tap water, when other people respond, you begin to tell us how the rest of the world hate you.

Lol. It depends on the context in which the rankings "first", "third", and twenty-seventh" are used. If these rankings are used in the context of quality of education, standards, and other subjective evaluation criteria, then I can't see any false claim there, since there can be no factual inaccuracy in subjectivity. After all, I am the most handsome man in the world. That is a "fact" that cannot be objectively proved false.

However, if Yabatech claims that it is the first university in Nigeria, third in Africa, and twenty-seventh in the world in terms of age - year of establishment - then the truth or otherwise of such claims can be easily ascertained. Maybe we should verify from the school authorities the 'meaning in context' of their claim.

Who is irredeemable? Enemies of unity, these were the kind of mentality that set your generation against the rest of other people. We are talking about a federal institution, you are here talking about FFK as if the opinion of FFK represent the opinion of Yoruba. Can you see where ignorance is taking you to. You can now see the reason why other people hate you, because when others are discussing future you come up with pathetic stories of how your forefathers were killed in the war, meaning that you never learn how to leave past behind you. Bitterness is a disease, you need to seek for doctor's help to grow over your past.

So, in your imagination, if the federal government hire Uche or Okoro to manage Yabatech, the fact that Uche or Okoro of Ibo lineage turn out to be incompetent mean we should hold the present and future generation of Ibo responsible for the incompetent of Uche and Okoro.

The earliest and only universities before the colonization of the Americas were established and run in medieval Europe.
Year Name Contemporaneous location Current location Notes
1088 University of Bologna Coat of arms of Bologna Commune of Bologna Italy Bologna, Italy The first university in the sense of a higher-learning, degree-awarding institute, the word university having been coined at its foundation.[11]
1167 (1254) University of Oxford Kingdom of England United Kingdom Oxford, United Kingdom "Claimed to be the oldest university in the English speaking world, there is no clear date of foundation of Oxford University, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris."[12] Teaching suspended in 1209 (due to town execution of two scholars) and 1355 (due to the St. Scholastica Day riot), but was continuous during the English Civil War (1642–1651) - the University was Royalist. All Souls College and University College have repeatedly claimed that they own documents proving that teaching in Oxford started in the year 825, but these documents have never seen the public light (allegedly, John Speed dated his famous 1605 Oxford maps based on these documents). However, it was not until 1254 that Pope Innocent IV granted to Oxford the University charter by papal bull ("Querentes in agro"wink.
1209 (1231) University of Cambridge Kingdom of England United Kingdom Cambridge, United Kingdom Founded by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute caused by the execution of two scholars in 1209, and royal charter was granted in 1231.[13] The university takes 1209 as its official anniversary.[14] Through one of Cambridge alumni, John Harvard, it inspired the establishment of Cambridge in Massachusetts, United States with the first college in America, Harvard University.
1218 (probably older) University of Salamanca Pennant of the Kingdom of León Kingdom of León Spain Salamanca, Spain It is the oldest university in operation in Spain. Although there are records of the University granting degrees many years before (James Trager's People's Chronology sets its foundation date in 1134), it only received the Royal chart of foundation as "Estudio General" in 1218, making it possibly the fourth or even the third oldest European university in continuous operations. However, it was the first European university to receive the title of "University" as such, granted by king of Castile and León Alfonso X and the Pope in 1254. Having been excluded from the University in 1852 by the Spanish government, the Faculties of Theology and Canon Law became the Pontifical University of Salamanca in 1940.
1222 (probably older) University of Padua Coat of arms of Padua Commune of Padua Italy Padua, Italy Founded by scholars and professors after leaving Bologna.
1224 University of Naples Federico II King Manfred of Sicily Arms.svg Kingdom of Sicily Italy Naples, Italy The first public university,[15] founded by Frederick II, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
1240 University of Siena Coat of arms of Siena Republic of Siena Italy Siena, Italy Originally called Studium Senese, was founded by Commune of Siena in 1240. In 1321, the studium was able to attract a larger number or pupils due to a mass exodus from the prestigious neighbouring University of Bologna. Closed temporarily in 1808–1815 when Napoleonic forces occupied Tuscany. On November 7, 1990 the university celebrated its 750th anniversary.
1241 University of Valladolid Escudo de la Corona de Castilla.svg Kingdom of Castile, Crown of Castile Spain Valladolid, Spain One hypothesis is that its foundation is the result of the transfer of Palencia General Survey between 1208 and 1241 by Alfonso VIII, king of Castile, and Bishop Tello Téllez de Meneses.
1272 University of Murcia Escudo de la Corona de Castilla.svg Kingdom of Castile, Crown of Castile Spain Murcia, Spain The University of Murcia was founded in 1272 by the King Alfonso X of Castile.[16]
1290 University of Macerata[17] Coat of arms of the Papal States Papal States Italy Macerata, Italy The University of Macerata (Italian: Università degli Studi di Macerata) is a university located in Macerata, Marche, Italy. It was founded in 1290 and is organized into 7 faculties.
1290 University of Coimbra[17] Armas portugal 1247.png Kingdom of Portugal
LSB.png Lisbon Portugal Coimbra, Portugal Begun its existence in Lisbon with the name Studium Generale (Estudo Geral). Scientiae thesaurus mirabilis, the royal charter announcing the institution of the University, was dated 1 March of that year, although efforts had been made at least since 1288 to create this first university in Portugal. The papal confirmation was also given in 1290 (on 9 August of that year), during the papacy of Pope Nicholas IV.
1293 University of Alcalá Pennant of the Crown of Castile Crown of Castile Spain Alcalá de Henares, Spain The University of Alcalá was founded by King Sancho IV of Castile as Studium Generale in 1293 in Alcalá de Henares. It was granted Papal Bull in 1499, and quickly gained international fame thanks to the patronage of Cardinal Cisneros and the production of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible in 1517, which is the basis for most of the current translations. The University moved to Madrid in 1836 by Royal Decree. The Moyano Law of 1857 established Complutense as the sole university in Spain authorized to confer the title of Doctor on any scholar. This law remained in effect until 1969.
1303 La Sapienza University of Rome Coat of arms of the Papal States Papal States Italy Rome, Italy Founded by Pope Boniface VIII, but became a state university in 1935. According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, the university "remained closed during the entire pontificate of Clement VII".

Camerino has been a center of learning since no later than 1200, offering degrees in civil law, canonical law, medicine, and literary studies. Gregory XI took the decision upon the request of Gentile III da Varano with the papal edict of 29 January 1377, directed to the commune and to the people, authorizing Camerino to confer (after appropriate examination) bachelor and doctoral degrees with apostolic authority.
1343 University of Pisa Coat of arms of the Republic of Pisa Republic of Pisa Italy Pisa, Italy It was formally founded on September 3, 1343 by an edict of Pope Clement VI, although there had been lectures on law in Pisa since the 11th century.

You really have to kill yourself. Dunce. Tabula rasa.

I don't need to tell who is a foo.l. Definitely, it shd be that person who failed to put behind, his misrable past. Why who I bother myself over what one foo.l is pointing out? If you have exam to write, and you are practicing, best of luck to you. As for me, I am hot in my field both home and abroad. If you are having miserable history, and the present is not too good for you, check your mouth. I give you free hands to edit any of my writeup, I have crossed the ocean, I am already enjoying the best out of life. We are all faceless on Nairaland, but in real life, with your mouth you are not just there yet.
