Disappointed in the level of education in Nigeria that nobody asked how many people total are in the top 2%. The top 2% may be made of 71,000 people for all we know, at which point having 71 people in the top 2% is not impressive.

There are hundreds of thousands of academics in this world so don't be surprised if the number I mentioned is not far from the truth.


Edited - as suspected, there are over 48,000 in that list of top 2% academics, and there are only 71 Nigerians there. That is a shameful stat relative to our population as a percentage of World population

You people won't see LAUTECH now o

It's when na porn you will start trending, God go judge you

HigherEd:


Actually there are 150,000 in total 2%. What you cited was for a program.

Truly, Nigeria's showing was poor. But Ghana had it worse with only 4 making the list.

OROSUNBOLB:
These are the people that should be funded to carry out research work that will benefit the country but no,billions of naira must be given to some illiterate herdsmen because their kinsman is in power !

Nigeria is a failed country.

The problem with people like you is that you are thick, dumb and ignorant with regard to what it means to be a democracy.

Your thick skull cannot understand that democracy is turn by turn and will not always favour you.

Buhari is a problem for you, so your solution is ''the country is failed!! Let's break up!!''

No part of your dull brain thinks ''ok, this is a democracy. His term's up in under 2 years. Let me join forces with like-minded citizens to vote him out of office and get in someone whose policies are more favourable to me''.

That is what folks in the US did, despite Trump trashing their nation on a daily basis, openly supporting killer racist neo nazi groups, describing them as ''good people'' to mass outrage, among other assaults on public sensibilities.

NOT ONCE did we hear Americans lament ''our country is failed. Let's break up!!''

Instead, they organised and voted Trump out of office.

Finish.

So you and your fellow thick skulls and dullards who act as if Nigeria is some sort of life presidency for Buhari/Fulani people, with ''breakup'' the only option, need to go back to your villages and FARM, or TAP PALM WINE, because that is as far as your intellect can take you.

Ridiculous people.

Unfortunately, the government of the day honors and values killer herdsmen, bandits and so called repentant bombers than these intellectual giants.
The government of the day has dashed the hopes of many intellectuals due to tribalistic and nepotistic appointments.

Nigeria! O My Motherland!

Using competition to judge a school.. How are u so sure the school presented their best student for the competitions. Take it or leave it.. OAU is now behind..

alfredilly:


What about the performance of their graduate in many field, OAU outshine on many occasions.

alomeda600:

For example

And some will say Lautech is not a good school... the school is actually very good, the media just like carrying negative news about her.

Ademoore07:
Dont mind them. I, as Ph.D student of lautech won an international award in one of my published article and never made any noise about it. I received an email requesting that i attend a conference at japan by october this year to give a brief lecture on my research work. Underate LAUTECH at your own peril.

zealousayo:

Kudos to you sir. More progress IJN.

PrettySmart:


I knew LAUTECH would be included before opening the thread.... LAUTECH nah boss. Shame on Aregbe and Ajimobi.

If you attended Prof. Lateef's inaugural lecture last week, you would attest to the fact that LAUTECH is the home of intellectuals.

GreatLAUTECH!

Ademoore07:
That was 2 weeks ago. I was in attendance ooo. Prof is currently at 56th position in Nigeria with Prof O.S Bello at the 43rd position. I'm proud to have been taught by all of them, including Prof Abass Olajire.
