The student / Professor ratio, the percentage of Professors in relation to all teachers, and most of all the QUALITY of Professors would be better indicators than absolute number of Profs without regard to number of students and quality, vitality and experience of Professors concerned.

I cant say for any other school o but the school i finished from (The premier university...the first and the best) professors are everywhere
Back then in my first year,Two professors were exchanging words in chemistry dept,one was like "i was the one that lectured the professor that lectured you before you became a professor"...lol. In the faculty of vet med where i grad from, them plenty there like water.
i visited a friend in UNAD now eksu in the year 2006,if you see the way security was guarding a professor there, i now asked my friend whether the man is their VC....

True. But, I can tell you authoritatively that in Geography Department UI , the following Profs cannot be beaten when it comes to attendance and delivery. Some of them are late though. Abumere, Akintola, Ayoade, Filani, Stanley Okafor, Gbadegesin, Aweto. These people are consulted in their various field world wide. Try and Google their names and u will be dazed about what u will come up with.

I acquiesce! The department had four emeritus professors and about 20 profs before the demise of emeritus Filani and Professor Akintola in 2014. Prof. Akintola taught me in 300level just before he passed away after he lost his first son(it was really tragic. He was like a father).
The department has also produced more than 5 VCs (just those that I'm aware of though. There are definitely more). Prof.Gbadegesin is the incumbent VC of LAUTECH, Prof. Ukporukpo and Emeritus Udor for Naija Delta University, Prof. Ayoade was Bowen University's, Prof. Ayeni for Babcock University while Emeritus Mabogunje was the Pro Chancellor of Bells Uni. One interesting thing is, they teach mainly based on personal experiences as they were the pioneers in most of these fields. Sometimes, you wonder what you could write to impress someone who did the work you're writing about. Just like writing about landuse act of Nigeria for Emeritus Udor. These people started the whole thing. Most of them have tutored in renowned and credible institutions in North America, Australia, Africa and Asia. They are highly venerated globally.
There are also four generations of professors. Emeritus Udor, Mabogunje and Faniran taught Prof. Akintola, Prof. Ayoade, Prof. Areola, while they taught Profs like Ukporukpo, Ayeni and those taught Prof. Gbadegesin who also taught Associate Prof. Adelekan. Interesting. Isn't it?
Prof. Ayoade was my undergraduate project supervisor btw. (Geo Science)

PS: Emeritus Professor M. F Thomas who was the quondam HOD way back came from USA to the department alongside other Profs in 2014, he also taught Emeritus Mabogunje et al. He was 94 years old and still kicking then.

Welcome to Nigeria. A country where people love celebrating titles. You that was taught by 30 professors in one dept, what have you done differently and better than the person who only had 2 PhD holders in his dept?
All the certificates are semi useless in Nigeria

Haters can hug a live transformer.

If u ever come under the tutelage of Profs like Maboogunje, Abumere, Ayoade Stanley Okafor , Filani, Akintola; (Geography Dept. UI) , Your life will be overtly positively transformed.
. I honestly can relate with the guy you quoted. no beef intended. I think 99 percent of our professors had not brought any remarkable breakthrough in their field of study. they don't even research talk less of discovering or really being a leader in their field. I went to a technology university and I had dreamt of working with a professor as an assistant or disciple. when I got in, I realised that we are not serious. I repeat my earlier statement that most of our professors don't deserve that title.

Sit down there and continue grumbling. 30% of my class mates (ui economics 2008) are in top universities across the globe doing their PhD while another 20% (including my humble self) are with different MNCs here in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

Guy as an undergraduate in UI ard year 2000 UI Chemistry had btw 12-18 professors, back then Dr Woods wasn't a professor yet. Economics back then had more than 12 professors. Am so sure that Chemistry in UI 2day wud have at least 25-30 professors.
Grab the latest Convocation Order of Proceedings from any of these universities, it usually contains a list of all their professors under the heading, Members of the University Senate (every professor is a member of Senate).

Your observations can be true but you don't expect the rate at which they retire and the rate at which they gain professors to be the same?
