He went on to become the very first vice chancellor of the university of LAGOS. 9,The first Nigerian Professor of Anatomy and Physiology is Professor Chike Edozien an Igbo man who is also the current Obi of Asaba. 10,The first Nigerian Professor of Physics was Professor Okoye an Igbo man who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 1960. 11,He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. 12,In Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – Again another Igbo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. 13,First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. 15,The first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. 16,What about Astronomy – again another Igbo man was the first Professor of Astronomy 17,Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics. Let’s go to the Social Sciences – 18,Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Igbo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s.

He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952. The highest number of professors in Nigeria and as at 2014 that state is Imo State. You can go to this commission and verify. Anambra state was the first in WAEC, UNITY SCHOOLS ENTERANCE EXAMS, NECO AND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders and Keke riders, tell them that in addition to doing very well in business, science, technology and SPORTS you are also ahead in academia. No amount of hatred can change blessings from God. *FBI ( Full Blooded igbo)* 14 Likes 1 Share |

meolaniyi: What is it with these insecure fellows? The very first Black African professor of any university in Africa was Professor Oladele Ajose who is No 25 on that list, and that was way before independence. And he attained it after many years practicing as a medical doctor in the field of public health and in the academia. Despite being the most senior African member of the school Senate at the University of Ibadan, Igbos like Azikiwe and Akanu Ibiam still ensured they used their power to appoint an Igbo Kenneth Dike ahead of him to become the 1st indigenous School Principal (VC). Even Prof. Kenneth Dike was afraid to accept the undeserved position that his Igbo clansmen had 'forced' on him. So keep shut with your insecurities and defeated ambition to dominate and label it merit. When Yorubas set African standards, all you can do is to catch up as usual. 18 Likes 6 Shares |

Throwback: When Yorubas set standard, they don't catch up. They wail their lives away. You don't know the level of inferiority complex these bonobos suffer at the mention of Yoruba. On twitter yesterday Reno was appreciating some aspects of Yoruba culture. Without mentioning ibbo, one okpa munching goat commented saying he didnt know why Reno hated ibbos. See this thread listing first profs. Without mentioning tribe, all other tribes read and passed, but one of the children of perdition must come to show his inferiority complex. I don't blame them though. They don't have history, and they were still walking about naked in the 20th century. 4 Likes |

kettykin: Yes they had influence over a federal government university in Ibadan. Azikiwe as Nigerian ceremonial President was the appointed Visitor to the school, while Akanu Ibiam was the school council Chairman. Infact, Azikiwe ensure he used his role as Visitor to replace Akanu Ibiam at the end of his tenure, with another Igbo as council Chairman, and same Igbo was also replaced by another Igbo. Azikiwe ensured that both the school Principal and Council Chairman were Igbo at all times to advance his Igbo domination agenda. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
