@ Sheniqua,
You call those glorified secondary schools Federal Universities? I am having a laugh. Have u been to Nigeria lately? Go to Chevron/Shell and see how graduates from Eastern Unis are treated like scumbags. Apart from UNN who has a bit of credibility, other schools are like Federal Government Colleges. University of Uyo, FUTO and the rest are Federal Universities, are u aware of that? Can u mention em in the same breath with UI?
Of course with people like you and Awo,others will always be treated like scumbags. There were 3 universities in Nigeria of repute when Nigeria was Nigeria. They are University of Ibadan,University of Nsukka and University of Lagos. Mention you went to any of those 3 and you were respected.That was then I wouldn't even send my bingo to any one of them  Go to anyone of them you'll see seasoned Igbo profs need I tell you the ones in Nsukka are virtually all Igbos. Go to Universities and schools in the north na so so Igbos. students and profs west Nko? I went to an FGGC in a non Igbo state,virtually all the teachers amd a large number of students were Igbo. They spoke Igbo in the staffroom Do I need to remind you that Igbos graduated in droves from all those schools I mentioned including Yaba tech,my fathers alma mater. My friend go and sitdown

Borno state is called the "home of peace".  If Borno is actually the home of peace, why aren't tribal war refugees migrating to Maiduguri? We are talking green pastures, u are talking peace. . . . .What kind of solitary mind have u got for Christ's sake!!!! there were none until Gowon and co started stealing them in the name of nationalisation. You are an ignorant clown.  Negro, u are clutching at straws. . . . . What has this gotta do with anything? Gosh. . . . . Debsosky claimed UI and OAU were not the sweats of Awolowo because they were federal funding. . . .I asked why they were built in Ibadan and Ife afterall, they were federal funding and should have been situated in Lagos. . . . You reiterated they were built in Oyo State because of fuckever and i asked why they weren't situated in Onitsha and Aba and u come with this? Blimey. . . . . Is this 4him or someone else using your moniker. . . . .I used to think u were smart but after this, u have the brain capacity of a female anopheles mosquito. @ Sheniqua, Faux!!!!! When Nigeria was Nigeria. . . . .UNILAG wasn't even in the frame. OAU(UNIFE in em days) had more credibility than UNILAG. Only idiots go to UNILAG in em days. Come to OAU, UI, UNILAG and lets do the ratio of Igbo to Yoruba students. The ratio would drive u crazy. . . . .definitely, i am not saying all Igbo kids are uneducated. Thank God for civilisation. . . . The Yorubas have opened y'all eyes that it's not about selling spare parts n electronics @ Alaba Market. I am still gobsmacked u don't know Yorubas actually go to school more than their Ibo counterparts. . . .Its astonishing.

I have many friends thatwent to those schools you mentioned including my own hubby. How many Yorubas are schooling in the east comparatively? I know about 4 profs of Igbo extraction personally that taught and retired from UI medical school and I didn't school there. Men of my dad's age. I say make you go siddon.

That was the foundation Awolowo laid. . . . .He made sure Yorubas dont have to travel long distance to get into good schools. Why would any Yoruba kid leave the whole western states to school in the East? How many Americans leave Havard, UCLA to school in Uyo? Would u dump BMW for a donkey?

i precisely used it to point out the foolishness of you thinking that the nickname for Lagos means anything other than that its just a name. If Lagos is truly the "center of excellence" then why is it such a poor place? Negro, u are clutching at straws. . . . . What has this gotta do with anything? Gosh. . . . .

read this over urself, it really makes no sense at all. more like you're rambling hoping that your noise making will drown out any reasonable attempt to make you try and read a bit of nigerian history before coming here to spout nonsense. In the 1940s, Ibadan was already a hotbed of southern politics which is why it had the vast majority of "landmarks" you pointed out earlier. Besides, the fact that something means "federal" does not mean it will be built in the capital only. Why do u expect the yorubas to go site OAU in Aba? Does that make sense? Blimey. . . . . Is this 4him or someone else using your moniker. . . . .I used to think u were smart but after this, u have the brain capacity of a female anopheles mosquito.

Pls check the latest JAMB admission statistics . . . more igbos are sitting for JAMB than yorubas. Such a shame you cant read before coming here.

@ 4 Him,
I am getting tired with your usual goat bleatings. . . .
Something keeps niggling at the back of me mind and it's your constant bouts of idiocy. Why would the Yorubas site OAU in Aba? Is Yoruba the only region in Nigeria where a Univeristy could be situated. Yorubas were claiming UI, OAU and UNILAG up until 1962 and the Eastern region had just UNN? And this means nuthing to your thick skull? Ojukwu didn't go to WAR because he was trigger happy. . . . .He couldn't belly the fact that other regions were light years ahead of the East.
Check the latest JAMB statistics after how many years. . . . .The last time i checked, JAMB was established in '77 so the latest stats is supposed to place Ibo students ahead of their Yoruba counterparts after 31 odd years? This guy should pass the blunt to his left hand side so your fellow vagrants can have a puff. You are so stupid u make a baboon look like John Newton. Latest stats compared to 31 years of Yoruba domination? You even compounded your stupidity by saying the fact that something means federal does not mean it will be in the capital state. . . .Why werent those schools built in Eastern states. . . . . why 3 Universities in the West compared to one in the East? marginalisation? Awo is god!!!!!
@ Sheniqua,
U are clutching at straws!!!!
Awolowo did more than Universities. Liberty Stadium(the first in West Africa) and the 1st television in the whole of Africa. . . . . . I maintain Azikwe was playing LUDO with Okonkwo(things fall apart) when Awolowo was making those plans.

Nobody is doubting the fact the fact that Western education in Nigria started in Western Nigeria. That is a fact.The mission schools all started in the West.The oldest secondary schools are in Western Nigeria Is it Awo's doing? Absolutely not. Lagos was the seat of the colonial masters,the missionaries were also first in Lagos so it's a no brainer. But today there are more Igbos seating for Jamb than any other tribes in Nigeria. That is also a fact. There are more Jamb applicants from Imo state than Lagos,Oyo,Ondo,Osun,Ekiti There are more from Anambra than any of the Yoruba states too. Jackal check the records. Then was then Now is now. We go to school plus sell spare parts

Xerxes, you make rational discourse very difficult with you because you try to use brashness, insults and plenty of bluster to push down your ill-thought, poorly concieved ideas down the throats of others. You end up with egg in your face at the end of the day.
Did Ojukwu tell you his main reasons for the civil war was because there were 2 more universities in the west than the east? Even the north had only 1 university then too so why was he majorly fighting the north?

Do you have any idea when Unilag and Ife were established, Mr no Lagos till 1979 ? Do you even know that Nsukka started with 2 campuses in 2 different cities 40 miles apart akin to 2 universities?

Anyways, maybe u haven't realised that most Yoruba kids are studying in London and many other countries in the western world today. The facts on JAMB are a tad far-fetched for me now as i haven't been to Naija in a while but from what i saw 3 years ago, Yorubas were light years ahead of other major tribes in Nigeria. There's hardly any Yoruba household u would visit without seeing at least one tertiary institution graduate. It's the mentality, it's the reality. Most of those cab drivers are graduates too but lack of opportunity condemned em to driving cabs for a living.

@ 4 Him,
If u don't channel your mental prowess properly, i would stop replying u. How can the number of Universites be the only reason why Ojukwu went to WAR? It was one of many issues cos he felt the Igbos were being marginalised. He was at war with the Hausas cos the Hausas were in power but Awolowo made the most of it more than the Igbos. It's no rocket science. . . . . .If u wanna learn a bit of history, go on your knees and beg THE XERXES and stop acting like a dolt.
@ Sheniqua,
Lagos and Ife were in 1962 but u need to visit Ife to see the beauty. This ain't about converting few blocks of flats n condos into a Uni but building a University in the same way as Oxford n Cambridge. U won't feel it till u have actually visited it. OAU is the most beautiful campus i have ever seen. Forget Oxford in the UK and Havard in the USA. The land mass alone puts the whole of Lagos State into mockery.
Just saw your new reply. . . . . . Watch NBA to see Igbo names on their shirts. . . . .This is digressing into a comic book now. Are u saying there are more educated Igbos than Yorubas? Please answer that question with all honesty.

If Awolowo was still living and if the moral decadence didn't reach its climax. . . .do u think OAU would have degenerated to what we have today? As at the time it was established. . . . It was the same quality as any other school u will find in the western world. . . Simple. The deterioration after that was as a result of Nigeria's maintenance culture. . . . .nuthing to do with the Great Awo. rubbish, infact the initial plan was that the west would back the east in its secession plan before Awo's late turn around.

This dude keeps acting like a goat. Awolowo turned around when he perceived the Igbos actually wanted to use the Yorubas as scape goat. If Awo had followed the scripts, places like Ondo and Kwara would have been severely hit and Awo didn't want that to happen. He is a man with vision so he turned around left the Igbos with their problems. . . .Even u(although u are a ninny) would admit it was a stroke of brilliance. Who is feeling the wounds now? When will Nigeria have an Igbo President? After the RAPture i presume.

Kwara was already well in the grip of the hausa/fulani oligarchy. If the west had joined the war, Biafra would have been recognised by the western world and would have survived. Infact Nigeria won the war thanks to the Yoruba offensive from the Ondo axis, and the Niger Delta pulling away from Biafra at the last moment thus trapping the landlocked Igbos. We are all victims today of Awo's "stroke of brilliance". Who is feeling the wounds now? When will Nigeria have an Igbo President? After the RAPture i presume.  Obasanjo is your idea of a yoruba president?  To God be the glory.

Nnsuka was shyte then and it's still shyte!!! Never said UI and OAU were founded by Awo. . . .All i said was that he made sure those schools were situated in Yoruba lands for Yoruba kids. Why aint u mentioning free education and free health service. . . . .Did y'all ever enjoy that in Igbo lands? Whats abunna by the way. . . . .This is why i hate debating on Nairaland. We are speaking English and all of a sudden members go vernacular to cause diversion. . . . . .I think that reeks of cowardice. Very unprofessional. @ 4Him, So what was Obasanjo? Class Captain. Lookie hombre, I want to see an Igbo man sit there for a minute never mind 8 years. The highest y'all can be is the senate president. . . . Okadigbo n Pius Anyim(anything more than that will be catastrophic).  Look at this twit talking about Kwara and the Niger Delta. Awo won the war for the FG by anutha stroke of brilliance. He told GOWON. . . . .stop giving aids to these Biafrans and letz see how they would cope with hunger n thirst. . . . .Under 4 days, Biafra surrendered. There were even reports some of em were eating themselves. . . . .It gave rise to cannibalism in Abia State. Have u guys heard of Isi Nlagua(not sure of the spelling so don't even pick on that) but i know the locals eat human beings there. One of the habits they picked between 196-1970.
