Paul John: Is education not the basis of civilization? If it is then, I think Ekiti should be among the first group. That's how we've been deceived for years! Please can you show me one chart or statistics to prove your claim!! You know that thing they say about repeating a lie over and over until it is suddenly mistaken for the truth?? These are facts. You can cross check. There are 25 Medical Schools in Nigeria. Edo state has the highest number of Medical schools in the country. Lagos has the second highest. Edo state alone shares the same number of medical schools with the 5 core states of the South West. Edo = 3 medical schools (Ekiti,Osun,Ondo,Oyo & Ogun)= 3 Medical Schools. The south south has by far the highest number of medical schools in the country. Number of Medical Schools by Region Lagos: 2 Edo: 3 South South: 8 South East: 6 Northern Nigeria: 6 South West(Minus Lagos: 3 South West(Plus Lagos): 5 There is undisputed proof that the states that produce the highest number of Doctors in the country shuttles between Imo, Edo, Delta. If you want facts, I would present. About professors, I have no data. But again, I know that your claim is baseless like most others we have been decieved with previously. 2 Likes 1 Share |

@papaBrowne You've lost the track. You said "my claims are baseless", then what should I say about yours? You opened the thread and didn't even read through before quoting my post. Better read over the first page to confirm how baseless my assertion are Even from your post, I guess you thought I was referring to medical practitioner when I meant "Doctor as in Ph.D holder". |
Re: States In Nigeria With The Most Civilized Citizens by PapaBrowne(m): 9:59am On Sep 13, 2012 |
Paul John: @papaBrowne I have proof for my claims. Anyways, you said "doctors". If you meant Ph.Ds, you should have stated that. I don't like misinformation, so anytime I see one, I try to correct with facts knowing well that the internet has become a repository of knowledge with would be sourced for reference way into the future. So the less we have misinformation, the better for all of us! |
Re: States In Nigeria With The Most Civilized Citizens by PapaBrowne(m): 10:01am On Sep 13, 2012 |
@topic. How do you determine how civilized a citizenry is? Is it by the level of education or by the level of international exposure or by the character of the citizens?? Lagosians have the most exposure and probably are the most educated but they act in some of the crudest manners as a result of the pressures of daily struggles. Cross Riverians on the other hand might not be as educated but have a form of civility that makes them more organised, clean and generally better mannered. So how do you really measure "Civilization"? |

Paul John: Is education not the basis of civilization? If it is then, I think Ekiti should be among the first group. I am currently serving @ekiti, true, they have d highest number of profs! But that doesn't mean they are civilized! For a 'prof and doctor state'- They have NOTHING to show for it. What then is d gain of such prestige? Instead of them 2be referred to as 'fountain of knowledge' it should be 'fountain of fertility' Because their citizens and animals esp. GOATS are extremely fertile. |

PhysicsQED:back up your own assertion too. .. .Ekiti State is referred to as “The Fountain of Knowledge” due to many illustrious high-level intellectuals that trace their ancestral roots from the State. In fact, Ekiti State is reputed to have produced the highest number of Professors in Nigeria. Several pioneer scholars in Nigeria including Professors Adegoke Olubummo(1st Nigeria Professor in the field of Mathematics), Adeyinka Adeyemi (1st Professor of Architecture in West Africa), JF Ade-Ajayi, Niyi Osundare, Sam Aluko, Bolaji Aluko, Peter Bodurin all hail from the States.And match any so called south south states with names mentioned above,prefarebly your Edo state 1 Like |

Re: States In Nigeria With The Most Civilized Citizens by PhysicsQED(m): 11:49pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
Paul John: It's not about it "not being what I expected." It's about thinking you can promote such an incredibly silly claim unchallenged. You haven't shared any "facts", you've just repeated falsehoods and silly claims. How can anyone think Ekiti has produced more professors than the entire south south put together? The "south south" is not Gombe or Zamfara, but 6 states, many of which have levels of education comparable to that of Ekiti. The person who made that claim is being mischievous or is just delusional. |

Re: States In Nigeria With The Most Civilized Citizens by PhysicsQED(m): 1:09am On Sep 14, 2012 |
Ufeolorun: How would matching names of a few accomplished people prove my assertion about overall numbers of professors? My assertion is based on population and about the disparities in educational achievement (assuming they exist) not being enough to make an academically overachieving state (assuming Ekiti is such a state) produce more professors than a state with a significantly larger population that is probably comparable or near the same level (whether slightly better or slightly worse) in terms of producing professors. Also, that's a list of seven professors but one (Bolaji Aluko) is not so much more accomplished relative to some other professors of engineering from Nigeria so I'm not sure he fits in that list, and another (Peter Bodunrin) was a prominent philosophy professor - something which is not exclusive to Ekiti state (I could mention Joseph Omoregbe or Campbell S. Momoh, philosophy professors from Edo state as well if I decided to just start listing prominent philosophy professors and I'm sure many others could do the same for their states). But a brief list from Edo state since you requested it - Emmanuel Emovon, first Nigerian chemistry Ph.D and former minister of science and technology, Thomas Emokpae, early Nigerian Ph.D in chemistry and former head of the chemistry department at Unilag, Abel Guobadia, former head of the physics department at Unilag, and Samson Jenekhe, the most highly cited engineering professor from Nigeria. Also Festus Iyayi (also a professor), Solomon Irein-Wangboje, Tiamiyu Bello-Osagie, Osagie Imasogie (also a professor of law), Osato Giwa-Osagie (former president of the West African College of Surgeons), Sunday Iyahen (former editor-in-chief of the journal of the African Mathematical Union), John Okhuoya, Anthony Imevbore, Joseph Okogun, Robert Okojie and there are others still, but there is a significant population difference between the two states, so a direct comparison wouldn't really make sense, hence my initially not bothering to list prominent professors from south south states significantly more populated than Ekiti to begin with (in addition to the fact that the number of prominent professors is completely tangential to my objection to the claim about the overall number of professors). 2 Likes |
