IMO State Has The Highest Number Of Professors In Nigeria by jamesibor: 11:08am On Aug 17, 2013
Facts can never be hidden. To be first does not mean you would win the race; let us open up all our institutions and may the best man win. Let us not depend on handouts or privileges but on heard work. Let us compete and give the best positions to our brightest – be it Ibo, Yourba or Fulani, and then we shall see who is the most successful Nigerian.

I find it difficult not to respond to some of these long-held lies that are constantly being peddled by Yorubas. One is that the Yoruba have the largest number of professors in the country. I would again ask that we stick to facts and statistical records. The Nigerian Universities Commission has a record of the state with the largest number of professors on their records and as at 2010 that state is Imo State followed by Ondo State and then Anambra State; the next state is Ekiti and then Delta before Kwara State. I am sure you Yorubas are surprised. When you sit in the South-West do not think others are sleeping but I wish to address another historical fact and that is who were the first Nigerians to receive Western education. It is important that these issues be examined in their historical context and evidence through research be presented for all to examine.

I have continued my research for as the great sociologist and father of modern sociology – Emile Durkheim – put it, the definition of a situation is real in its consequence . What this simply means is that one must never allow a perceived falsehood to become one’s reality and by extension individuals who accept a defined position act as though the situation is real and apply themselves in that narrowly defined perspective.

Why is this important to state it is because for long the Yoruba have peddled lies that have almost become accepted as the truth by other Nigerians but it is important that we lay down the facts for others to examine and come to their own conclusion for facts are facts. Let’s go back to education. Historically, Western education resulted as a product of indigenous ethnic groups interacting with the whites through trade. The dominant groups sold slaves, ivory gold and a host of other products to their European counterparts in exchange for finished goods – wine, tobacco, mirrors, etc.

That is one of the age old lies the author set out to destroy. Do you have any proof that "your beloved Ekiti" has got the highest number of professors in Nigeria?

Are you suggesting that the number of professors from Ekiti state has increased tremendously between 2010 and 2013?

While I'm not disputing that, it however doesn't tally with available statistics like JAMB, WAEC etc. which point to the fact that the number of people going to school in the South West has been on a steady decline at least in the last 2 decades.

both you and the op are wrong, ondo state has the highest number of professors in nigeria, if u doubt it visit school like oau,ui,funnab,unilag,unilorin,abu,lasu,futa,futo,uniport,uniben and so on, u will find out that 35 to 40% of those school professors are from ondo state,even university of ibadan that has the highest professors of 180, about 75 of them are from ondo state.

He who never goes out will think his father's farm yam barn is the biggest. Jamb is headed by a yoruba man, his statistics says otherwise.
The NUC helmsman is not Igbo his statitics also punctures yoruba claim of intellectuallism.
Even punch (a pro-yoruba paper)in their editorial some few days ago bemoaned the steady decline of education in yorubaland.
Imo, Anambra and Delta have the highest cut off marks for unity schools while SW fights for bottom spot with the likes of Zamfara.

How about UNN, NAU, FUTO, ANSU, IMSU, EBSU, ESUT, Madonna, ABSU, MOU etc. The names of schools you just listed above shows you've never been outside the South West.

you see what i am saying, u don't know what you are saying u just open this thread for selfish interest cause everybody is opening thread you too want to open, all those school you mention are nigeria based institutions, it not recognise international, they only recognise about 7 nigeria giant universities which are oau-ife, unilag,ui-ibadan,unilorin,uniben,funnab-abeokuta,abu-zaria, if u see the list u will see that 4 of them are south west, 2 from the north,1 from the south south. No south east institution because they class south east are the less educationally develop area,so i don't know how come u get the fake report u posted on nairaland,inshort i will inform the moderator to close down this thread because it is base on tribalism. And u are saying what u don't know.

D inclusion of kwara state in d list makes it fake. Who is nuc? So profs of ekiti, ogun, delta, anambra, imo, kaduna, rivers, enugu etc who are lecturing in universities around d world had gone to nuc's office to register ryt? Or how did they arrive at d conclusion? No one can come out and name any state wit highest number of profs in d country xcept d person wants to deceive him or herself cos we have alot of Nigeria profs in Ghana , America, Canada, southafrica etc. A prof frm ondo state has just been appointed as vice chancellor in America university. All i knw is dat there is no family dat has no PHD holder in ekiti state and dats why they gave dem "fountain of knowledge" as their slogan and dats d sign dat they might have d highest number of profs. Imagin kwara state dat is still in education less developed state dat makes nuc's list? Nuc itself is fake

Cut-off marks for some states.

Imo-138
Anambra-139( the highest)
Ekiti(fountain and mountain of Knowledge)-119 grin
kogi(North)-119 grin

From all indications the Southwest can only be compared with Northern states in terms of education grin.

u see your life, did u read the topic of this thread before posting fake news on it? Did minister of education called you and tell you this? Did u know that the above link is a blog own by a private individual which he/she can post anytime he/she like on it? Did u know that 70% of information on internet are false news?

Dozzybaba its really disappointing that a well-educated individual can post a comment on assumption.Firstly parents in southwest hardly send their children to unity schools at the moment cos it has lost its standard.the reason why Ondo cut mark is at 119 is purely due to the fact that they are trying to attract students to their school,why would i send my kids to unity school when there are lots of better schools outthere than unity School.Secondly how many Secondary schools do you have u in Imo,Anambra and ABia,multiply the number by 10 that would equal the number of better schools in each state in southwest.Thirdly Unity School to u at the Eastern part of Nigeria is highly rated like Kings college,Christ School,Command Sec to the Southwest,The Unity School you count as the Best in Imo,ABia and anambra is one of the worst school in south west,so dont ever try to praise that shitty school.NOw get back to the topic
Re: IMO State Has The Highest Number Of Professors In Nigeria by Nobody: 7:00am On Aug 18, 2013
See the guy o, he did not read the topic before comment on it, are they still unity in nigeria? People in the south-west used to attend unity people in the olding days,why should we send your children to unity school when the are many schools in nigeria, it is due to poverty that is why anambra and imo has the highest cut-off mark, count the number of schools in anambra,imo and delta and add them together, is not up to the number of school in festac town lagos. The are talking about education you are calling imo,anambra and delta, can u compel dog with lion?

Re: IMO State Has The Highest Number Of Professors In Nigeria by Nobody: 10:36pm On Aug 18, 2013
Yes yoruba states is the poorest state in nigeria, but did you know that 10% of crude oil nigeria produce in nigeria is from only ondo state, ondo state revenue can feed all the eastern state on a well balance diet for 2000years without any effect to the state, if there is no lagos state 98%eastern region could have been poorer than niger republic, number of private school in lagos state is more than the population of all eastern region.
