Going by your argument then Fourah Bay College will not be regarded as the first university in West Africa.

My father attended that Great University in Sierra Leone.

This inferiority complex is really rooted deep in many Igbo psychic.

No wonder someone once said no matter how educated an Igbo man is, he will never stop feeling inferior. Everything to these people is measuring dicks.

@Mods this is a tribalistic post

Well, the OP said first federal university.

I see many potential flunks for exams such as the SAT.

Ibadan was the first university in Nigeria, of course.

It was created by the colonial administration in 1948 and the indigenized shortly after independence.

So who calls it the first 'Federal University in Nigeria'?

University of Ibadan is simply referred to as the first University in Nigeria. period. Federal is not usually added.

But wait......

What is even this your obsession with Ibadan? you first created a thread that Ibadan is not the biggest city in Nigeria, here again you are making some cunny assertions.

Does the word pioneer mean anything to you?

Even at that, UNN is still the first federal university in Nigeria alongside ABU and OAU, being federal before UI.

I'm not sure why everyone is scratching their throat skins so aggressively, if we are all saying the same thing.

The origins of the university are in Yaba College, founded in 1932 in Yaba, Lagos as the first tertiary educational institute in Nigeria. Yaba College was transferred to Ibadan, becoming the University College of Ibadan, in 1948.[4] The university was founded on its own site on 17 November 1948. In late 1963, on the university playing-fields, with a celebration marked by talking drums, the Rt. Hon. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, first Prime Minister of independent Nigeria, became the first Chancellor of its independent university.

I really cant believe Igbo posters on NL. You need to stop with the dick measuring with the south west.

Chest beating gone wrong like someone rightly said.

The purpose of this thread is not to pass information or educate people, rather the sole purpose is for dick measuring. How many of these threads has been opened today on NL. And the only people opening this dick measuring threads are Igbo posters.

If you guys are not tired of the silliness some of us are tired of it.

Cause this thread has no basis for argument. Its like asking you if the sky is blue.

So many dumb people in this thread. Please read the OP's post carefully.

He already implied that UI was the pioneer university of Nigeria by giving you a chronological account of the university operations (UNN and UI).

His argument was about the first federal university.

Oh my gosh!!!!!

"University of nigeria nsukka is the first federal and pioneer university in Nigeria. She was founded in 1960"

The above statement by the OP is false. You will fail jamb too if you mark it as true.
What is the point in engaging in false revisionism. This is how the " everybody hates us" syndrome started.

Can you people see that this moniker has consistently proffered tribal posts in this thread?

Please y'all should align your complaints properly in light of this.

The OP and I said exactly the same thing and you people are going crazy.

NewNigeriaMind:

[b]WHAT IS TRIBAL ABOUT THIS POST

You talking about a tribe in generalities....in a thread that did not mention one single tribe?

Or you do you want me to dumb it down for you some more?

UI is the first university in Nigeria, no doubt about that. but UNN remains the first indigenous university after independence. OAU was established in 1962.

Most likely an grammatical oversight on his part.

He already gave a chronological account that explicitly contradicts what you all are accusing him of. I understood where he was driving at.

What is the point in engaging in false revisionism. This is how the " everybody hates us" syndrome started.

The University was formally opened on 7 October 1960, as the climax to the Nigerian independence celebrations in the Eastern Region. Her Royal Highness, Princess Alexandra of Kent, representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Nigerian independence celebrations, performed the opening ceremonies and laid the foundation stone of one of the University's early buildings.

Classes began on 17 October 1960 with an enrollment of 220 students and 13 members of the academic staff. The opening convocation addresses were delivered by the Chairman of the Provisional Council, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first President of the Federation of Nigeria, and by Dr John A. Hannah, President of Michigan State University, USA.

The university was fully autonomous, with the power to grant its own degrees. Technically speaking, therefore, it became the first fully-fledged university in Nigeria, since Ibadan was still at that time a university college granting London degrees. It also became the first university established by a Nigerian Regional Government. The University College Ibadan, the oldest university institution, cut its umbilical cord with London in October 1962, becoming the University of Ibadan. In July 1965, it turned out the first graduates holding Ibadan (rather than London) degrees, by which time Nsukka had produced two crops of graduates and taken all the publicity for turning out the first graduates of an autonomous Nigerian university.

The OP is definitely out for mischief because from all indications after independence in 1960, the south west already has university college Ibadan and Yaba college of Technology. Azikwe being an Igbo man and being the person he is felt there is a need to have another university in the east since most people before then from the east that had education was educated in Ibadan.

Nobody ever agrued which university was the first federal university. Just like we all know UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN IS THE FIRST UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA.

Since we all know this fact, I beg to ask the question:

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS THREAD.
