it was intentional to create useless graduates.
Unn was banned from offering chemical engineering.
Why?
Because their students during the civil war were able to make use of what they were taught.
If you remember back in school (university)
Lecturers demand you give them back what they gave you during exam.
Otherwise you will rewrite the course.

Is it today you knew Nigerians like floating superfluous figures to feel big and important?
In Nigeria a goverment official will tell you we are a country of 300m people and that in next 5 years the economy will be bigger than that of China and US combined.
Where is Wigwe going to source for $500m (₦500b)within 5 years or people think he would conjure up that amount from his pocket?

Students that would graduate and start looking for paid jobs or the ones that will put what they studied in practice, creating jobs in the process, just as it's in developed countries?? What Nigeria needs is not more universities, it's aggressive industrialisation. In fact, let's even begin with the easiest—agricultural industrialization, which can turn Nigeria into a developed country within 25 years! Netherlands of 17m people makes about $79B yearly via agricultural export, that's aside the massive blue-collar millions of jobs provided to the citizens while Nigeria with so-called black gold makes meager $39B - approximately half of it. Do you think if Nigeria has a very organised national mechanised agriculture tens of millions of currently unemployed Nigerian graduates won't be working in those farms as agronomists, electrical and mechanical engineers, accountants, geneticists, animal nutritionists, IT experts, veterinarians, hydrologist, farm nurses and doctors, marine scientists, unlike the current system where the agricultural sector is handled by 90% old men and women using hoes and cutlass and who are majorly illiterates etc?? Even those who did not read agaric-related courses will hop in, because of the avalanche of jobs in the sector. And the prosperity from that sector would then trickle down into other industrial sectors such as steel, shipbuilding, car, electronics manufacturing, etc. This is how countries such as the USA, China, Malaysia became what they are today!

The meaning is not even same. Igbos copy from the minorities and don't even copy it properly.
Igbos add N to names like Nwagbara, Nwoke and others. These in Igbo means children of.

Ikwerres don't add N. Because the meaning is different. Wike doesn't mean child of strength as igbos thought. W in Ikwerre mean of. It is a possessive word in Ikwerre language. Eg. W in Wike means of new. Belonging to a new thing. Wigwe means of Heaven. Wagbara means of the deity. Igbos need to study properly before adopting.

If you actually take out the N, it would mean same with 'u' in Igbo, wu-Igwe, wu-Agbara

Small dialectical change

No true born Ikwerre man has ever claimed to be Igbo. Ikwerres see themselves as blue 💙 blood.

If they like, let them see themselves as off-white blood, the fact still remains that there is no difference between those called Ikwerre and those called Igbo. Igbo is just a an umbrella word for all those who speak varying dialects of the Igbo language and practice similar culture.

U r not correct. Igbos are distinct tribe or ethnic group that has no historical attachment to Ikwerre people.

And yet we all call God 'Chineke'

We call our kings Eze

We have the 4 market days of Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo

We all celebrate the Iri-Ji/Iwa-Ji

We call father, 'Nna', 'Npa', 'Nda', 'Nha', depending on dialect, only the middle letter changes.

I dont know the historical connection between the Abakiliki man, the Ngwa man, the Nsukka man, the Nkanu man, the Ikwerre man, the Etche man, the Wawa man, the Ibeku man, the Abiriba man, or the Anioma man, all of them speak different dialect, any of them can claim to be distinct, any of them can claim to originate from the moon

However, all of them fall under a general umbrella known as Igbo people, who practice same culture and speak varying degrees of a mutually intelligible language. Denial is not what makes a people distinct

Don't rub your Igbo identity on the ikwerres. Like we have always maintained if any ethnic group is the other it is the Igbo which is a sub of the ikwerres.
There are more English speakers in America than England it doesn't take away the fact that people left England to establish America.

Lol, rub the Igbo identity on you? Ikwerre is just about 2 or 3 LGA's, may be not up to the population of North and South of my LGA in Anambra, why would I break my head over such small numbers? We havent even broken our heads over Anioma who have 9 LGA's.

You don't know what you are saying.

Convert those churches to factories and get people to be productive. No country has ever prayed itself to economic prosperity. What you call churches are extortion houses and where people gather to make noise like prophets of Baal with no results.

You don't know God that is why you are talking this nonsense.
God will give you what you can't handle that will make you to know you didn't create yourself.
It's not the duty of church to put up factory, the work of the church is to preach about Jesus Christ,
If you need factory, ask your government that you pay tax to.
We that give money in the church is strictly for a purpose which is to spare the gospel of Jesus Christ,

That's where you are making mistake,
It's not church that is in charge of Nigeria,
If Politians and civil servants follow the word of God being preached in the church , Nigeria would have been living in prosperity.
The reason many churches are doing well is because they manage the little donations from members.
But some Nigerians leaders and followers embezzle and lavish the abundant resources and people like you will want to blame church for it
