Why is there no notherner in the list. This is sacrilegious is it that it is only when it comes to Nigerian politics that we will find them struggling for power. Upon all the scholarships and bursary they have been collecting why are they like this.
THE LIST? WHICH LIST EXACTLY. Who compiled the list and what are the inclusion criteria?This list is worse than useless

What are the exclusion criteria?
Those are the questions that people who REALLY went to universities would ask. At any rate there is an implicit declaration that somehow being in a US university is better than being in a Nigerian university maybe but not necessarily.
What does "professor" mean? In the US generally it means the same as Lecturer in Nigeria and the UK. and so associate professor is assistant Lecturer. I know of at least ONE Nigerian doctor who was a "professor" at a University because he could not pass USMLE and so was teaching Basic Medical sciences. A list of those "present" is not quite the same as of those "excelling"

I'm sorry, Mr. Dunderhead, I don't do illiterate-speak.

I just speak based on reality, and if it's about listing just anyone in a backwater University, then you should be able to list at least a thousand of them with ease.

I was expecting distinguished academics, top of the pops, not just anyone.

Based on this list - even Sierra Leone should be able to produce a far better list than this one.

Like I said earlier: only two (or maybe three) of them are distinguished academics. Thank me, later.

Just because majority of them are Igbos doesn't make them smarter than other tribes! The research looks biased and one sided to me; if you notice, 95% of the Profs either studied or are teaching in the US...What about other academicians of Nigerian descent in the UK and other advanced Countries/top Universities around the globe?

And for the fact that it's only one Prof from the whole of Northern Nigeria shows how biased and shallow the OP's research was!

Please I know Professor Godwin Chukwu one on one. The man there is not him. I initially at early stage of my life wanted to be like these men, but indeed all they have is all these fellows and titles. As an engineer The industry is better for me . Not just as an empoyee but as an employer of labour. I am speaking for myself. I have been with these acdemia in different parts of the world and honestly,the industry man has more money in the bank. Also you can put ideas into products
The picture is that of the former minister of health Onyebuchi Chukwu.
Probably a mix up.


The academics have their role.

The best brains from nigeria are often discovered and harnessed abroad.
Seeing good news like this makes me glow with pride.
I keep praying for the day when I will be proud enough to say "I am from nigeria" in front of anybody. Sometimes, I find myself saying south africa or carribeans... its a shameful fact.


For all those screaming "I can make it without education" I hope u can see this and take a cue.
