Word.

....of losers.

LaudableXX:
Guy, you did not finish quoting the source of that article. It was a memo written by Kissinger, to the US President to offer advice on how they (America) should proceed, with respect to the two sides in the Nigerian civil war, at that time. It contained an update on the status of the war, its' causes and how both parties were prosecuting the war, along with a synopsis of the character of the leaders of both sides.

Goal Post shifting as usual. Jumping from one topic to another. Anyway its midnight. *yawns*

Olddirtywizard:
Lol. I could feel the pains in your response as well.

Let me make it simple:

Paul Anber was born in -------- and went to University of ------------- where he bagged PhD in --------------. Thereafter, he lectured at University of -----------from 19xx to 19yy. He is still at live, and he resides at -------- OR he passed away in 19ww at --------.

*yawns* Yoruba, envy and laziness are like the 3 blades in a ceiling fan. Shior

Olddirtywizard another one for you:

In a White House memo dated Tuesday, January 28, 1969 to President Nixon, former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger describes the Igbos as “the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation”(foreign relations document, volume E-5, documents on Africa 1969-1972)

This one too na fake abi? Idiat

noah91:
I have nothing to say to u. Sha don't play the victim card when the worst come to u, osu

You are right, you have nothing to say.... So shut up.

Olddirtywizard:
Paul Anber is fake and his article, a political hit job. It shouldn't be difficult to know or state credentials of a scholar. Afterall, we all know Esther Uchendu bagged a PhD from Oregon State University and is on the faculty of the University of Ibadan.

Just a short biographical sketch about this scholar, Paul Anber, is all you need to silence your critics.

Do the digging yourself.... Lazy researcher. The essay has been published in several journals both on and offline for decades, then suddrnly its an igbo writer masqurading as paul amber. I actually thought you were learned. Obviously you are just a wannabe.

Customer80:
The pioneer vice chancellor of unijos was an Igbo man

Yea.... Professor Gilbert Onuaguluchi.... Nice reminder bro

noah91:
No suitable Yoruba indeed. When did ur ancestors start going to school? Tolerance is no longer in our dictionary. A pogrom awaits you soon. Ungrateful pigs

Lazy agberos trying to reap where they did not sow. Was UI UNILAG and YABATECH built by the western region? Idiat

Olddirtywizard:
Can you tell us more about this "Dr." Paul Anber? Just a short biographical sketch like where he studied, where he bagged his PhD, lectured and the overall trajectory of his career.

As usual, ewedu media crying blue murder

noah91:
So you think those Igbo VCs were chosen because there were no suitable Yorubas. U must be very high. Why is it that almost all the federal schools in the country now have VCs indigenous to the region where the schools are situated? Even greedy Zik wanted to rule the western region because of the huge tolerance he got

Tolerance my foot. Bsckstabbers and lazy cowards.

And yes, there was no suitable Yoruba that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Igbo.

Quota system brought the issue of federal schools all over the place NOT competence Mr dummy.

PVision2020:
kikikikikiki...e pain am
Their's no basis of comparison between the Yorubas and little igbos. Shouting and hyping yourself from now till eternity won't change anything.

Even the igbo language (your identity) itself was lettered by a Yoruba man.
https://www.omniglot.com/writing/igbo.htm

Lil boy, Yorubas civilized, Educated and gave identity to you and your ancestors. So try and have some respect for your masters.

The weed is really working on you.

Before your ancestors could write, we were already writing with NSIBIDI.

before your forebears could tread openly and freely amongst whites, we had already helped them abolish slavery, OLAUDAH EQUIANO helped break your chains.

PVision2020:
Igbos and inferiority complex are like bread and butter. They must blow their vuvuzela(noise) even when the world doesn't give a fvck about their existence.

BTW wake me up when you have a Noble Laureate recipient in the whole of alaigbo.

Empty barrels.... Spits

Actually the world does.

When you have the most translated african writer in the world, we can then hear you. Even a Nobel laurate has called one of our own the "father of contemporary African literature"

Go and quench

So the pix now "shows" that Rochas is "working"?

I weep for IMO people.

Maybe erecting billboards of white house visits and statues of presidents means "working" to you.

Any Local Government Authority can do what is seen on those pix

noah91:
The fact that the first indigenous VCs and rector of UI, Unilag and Yabatech respectively were Igbos shows how liberal the Yorubas have always been. There were pool of Yorubas to have chosen from but they remained detribalized. The same can't be said about the Igbos. Also, Herbert Macaulay passed the mantle of leadership to Nnamdi Azikiwe when there were pools of Yoruba to chose from. Why wasn't an Igboman the first VC of ABU Zaria.
The Yorubas have already learnt their lesson which proves what Ahmadu Bello said about the Igbos right. Igbos are selfish, greedy and always want to eat their cake and have it. More Yorubas are now privy to their plans against them and as such will not be tolerated any more. They can cry marginalization all I care. You can never please them

Were UI, UNILAG and YABATECH owned by the western regional government or the Federal Government?

Ans: they were NOT owned by western regional government. So Yorubas were not doing any favors to Igbos to run the school.

Was ABU a federal owned institution or northern region owned institution?

Ans: It was owned by the northern regional government NOT federal government


Was OAU (ife) not was ran by the western regional government just as ABU and UNN ran by their respective regional governments at that time?

Ans: It was ran by the western regional government.

Can you now see your illiteracy? See your clannishness? Your oluwole awo free education brain? See your life?

Teaching is my job! And I love it!

Though the pay digits ain't that attractive, the time I have for myself is a free (and better) resource for me. I can run my private biz after official school closing hours.

We teach other professions from the basics to the advanced levels.

Respect your nursery, primary, secondary and tertiary school teachers. You owe your literacy to them.

Beautiful! I love this! A neutral pundit has silenced the ewedu brained revisionists.

Politics in Education has done more harm than good in Nigeria and Nigeria is and will continue pay dearly for it. Before now, Education in Nigeria was MORE merit based snd LESS politically manipulated.

[/b]Only the best and innovative brains ran the school systems from primary to tertiary education. In the 50s and 60s, the regionally owned universities (UNN, OAU, ABU) were well manned by competent individuals from those regions. The Federally owned universities (UI, UNILAG) had little political interference as competence was the first in the order of priorities.[b]

The igbos shone so brightly both at regional and federal levels. They practically took over from their colonial masters as they recorded numerous firsts due to competence and innovativeness. It boosted the igbos standard of living as a people and as a region.

‘ Paul Anber’s essay “Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos” published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. To be more specific see pp 171-172, and let me quote the relevant portion of Dr. Anber’s essay:

[b][/b]A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407.” ”…[/b]

His source was the Annual Abstract of Statistics ( Federal Office of Statistics, Lagos, 1965), Table 2.4, p. 14..

UI (Federal) had Kenneth Dike after colonialists left
UNILAG (Federal) had Eni Njoku after colonialists left.
UNN (Regional) also had Eni Njoku after the colonialists left.

Yabatech had an Igbo Rector after the colonialists left too.

.[b]....FAST-FORWARD TO POST-WAR NIGERIA....[/b]


UNN, OAU and ABU became federal owned universities, while UI and UNILAG maintained their status quo. More federal and state universities were established. QUOTA SYSTEM WAS INTRODUCED. Merit became SECONDED in the order of priorities.

Where are igbos in all of these?

1. They have managed thrive despite the political disadvantage they find themselves in.

YORUBAS by political sentiments now owns UI and UNILAG, but somehow, igbos have shown courage in excelling academically and professionally in these schools except in VCships.

You see igbos also thriving in other western schools, as well as northern and southern schools both federal and state owned ones.

[b][/b]UNN, FUTO, UNIZIK, MOUAU, FED-EBONYI, and state owned universities are now schools in which Igbo professors can compete for VCship. Despite low funding from FG, they have been able to churn out graduates that can compete with best ANYWHERE in the world.[b]

Dora Akunyili, Oby Ezekwesili, Bennet Omalu, Okechukwu Enemalah, Herbert Wigwe, Charles Soludo, Arunma Oteh, Fabian Udekwu, Ndubuisi Ekekwe, Tricia Adaobi, to mention but a few are some of the best brands in the world today thst finished from "Igbo" Universities. It is reported by the NBS that as of 2010, most Nigerian professors hail from IMO state, overtaking Ekiti state.

We ain't lagging behind at the secondary school level.
Anambra topped the WASSCE chart for a while before Abia now took over at present. IMO tops the charts in JAMB entries for matriculation. Ebonyi has risen considerably in secondary and tertiary education.

Politics have dragged our academic system down, yet, the die-hard and innovative spirit of Igbo students and teachers alike have continue to placed Igbo education on not only African map, but also on the global map.

What are your thoughts?

Ndigbo Jishienu ike..... Igbo Amaka.

IGBOS are naturally ahead of you... FACT

LaudableXX:
You must be a shareholder of westernpost. It is a faceless online publication. That article was written by their "Staff writer." Tell me, is "Staff writer," a person's name? Oga, I can as well give you other links to other publications that show a different view of Eni Njoku, from the one you know. I have done so already, in one of my earlier posts. I gave you an article written about the Unlig crisis under Eni Njoku and published in Minerva which is an international journal, that is a highly rated Review of Science, Learning and Policy. It contains articles by scholars, academicians and reputable writer. It is clearly way above your so-called 'Western post.'

*yawns* am bored. I will know when you have something worthwhile to contribute.
*leaves thread*

Throwback:
They were trailblazers in receiving appointments that had been predetermined by Igbos to be awarded to Igbos, as Akanu Ibiam's statement to Kenneth Dike was self revealing. Simply put, Akanu Ibiam was not going to allow any Yoruba become the Principal of Ibadan even if Dike rejected the appointment. And seeing no other qualified Igbo in sight, the position would rather be given to a foreigner.

The trailblazer would always remain the first African professor in Nigeria, Oladele Ajose, and it will always be remembered that he was a victim of keduism. Nigeria sacrificed its brightest brain and most experienced faculty on the altar of keduism

I can now put into proper perspective the hatred Chinua Achebe reported that Igbos faced right inside UI after Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967, with their Yoruba colleagues telling the Igbos to hurry off to their Biafra.

Keduism was at that time drawing its last breath to the delight of its Yoruba victims.

Shame on you. "Agberoism" everywhere.

"Ni ilu wa...ni adugbo wa" mentality. Always reaping where they did not sow. Lazy losers. Always afraid of competition.

You can't change history no matter the colour of painting brush you use against Igbo.

LaudableXX:
Why this matter just dey pain you like this? The facts and records speak for themselves. The Provisional Council consisted of members drawn from different parts of Nigeria, while the Senate consisted of Eni-njoku's friends and cronies. If Eni Njoku was such an excellent performer, he shouldn't have been afraid of competition, and the Senate should not have bothered to lobby or tip the scales in his favour, or try to impose his candidature for a second term, upon the university. Afterall, the works of his hands would have ensured that he scaled through the selection process which consisted of just him, and Biobaku, not so?

Wow see how you try so hard to change the narratives, only for karma to further expose you.

LaudableXX:
Nobody is trying to discredit anybody. That has always been your own stock in trade, and those of your clique. My point is that there is no need for propaganda and exaggeration, which is what your people are known for. And that is why I always try to set the records straight. Now, try not to feel too hurt!

Tell that to the man in the mirror. Senate board of Unilag stood for professional competence (njoku) while politicians (council), as against the lies of your accomplice Throwback, came with their tribal politics.
Thank God for history.

LaudableXX:
....to your bad rubbi'sh! Yeah!

*yimu*

LaudableXX:
Well, since I do not know any Awo press stooges, I guess they must be your buddies, which is why you made reference to them. Not so? And don't be deceived. A lot of people visit nairaland, and even on Google, it pops up frequently as one of the most searched websites. So try to stop lamenting...

Good riddance....

LaudableXX:
Yeah...yeah...corrections have already been made. Kayode Adams attacked Eni Njoku. What next? Nobody is talking about how blameless Eni Njoku was. But trying to ascribe the appellation of "an expert manager of men and resources," to him, is somewhat far-fetched. Stick to the topic, biko.

You should be the one sticking to the topic. Always truing to discredit Igbo achievement because of your hate and envy.

Anyway, you can't change history. Dike and njoku were trailblazers in the academia and there is nothing you or your fellow losers can do about it.

LaudableXX:
So because a Yoruba student named Kayode Ted Adams attacked Prof. Saburi Biobaku, you feel that student was right and his opinion constituted the sole authority by which Kenneth Dike's actions must be measured? Are you for real? Was that same Yoruba student, the spokesman for all students of unilag at that time? Are you aware that same Yoruba student pleaded insanity as a defence, when his case came up in court? So for you, the words of an insane Yoruba student is the final yardstick for confirming that Dike was an expert manager of men and resources! Wonderful! Your cluelessness is unparalleled.

Lots of revisionists from the Southeast, (as well as their apologists) have attempted to paint Kenneth Dike as a saint and "an expert manager of men and resources," in most of their publications.

Independent 3rd party witnesses have however confirmed that Kenneth Dike made appointments tainted by nepotism and tribalism, instead of merit. And that factor proved that he was NOT an expert manager of men and resources! Someone who was an expert manager of men, would definitely not have allowed nepotism to taint his worldview, but would have been guided by the principle of merit, irrespective of where the holders of such merit came from!

Who were the 3rd witness parties? Your awoists? Your awo press or stooges?

You definitely know your trash is only seen here on nairaland. They are inconsequential anyway.

He was wrong to attack a njoku NOT Dike (get your facts right), but it goes to show how fanatical one can get for njoku. Njoku was simply blameless. Even the governing council knew njoku was blameless and competent. Njoku continued till the war broke out.

Oh!

So you suddenly could not continue to support the empty head that I ever implied or stated that University of Ibadan was a Yoruba regional university.

I stink of truth and the truth has shut you up.

I repeat, there were 3 successive Igbo school council Chairmen at University of Ibadan. All of them were NCNC party men.

What happened to all the educated Yorubas that were NCNC loyalists in Lagos or Western Region.

Why was Azikiwe and his Igbo gang multiplying and perpetuating keduism in a federal institution?

What were the merits of Louis Mbanefo's appointment as the last of the Keduites.

If he was the first Igbo lawyer that late (1935) in the history of Nigerian education, what happened to the scores of other lawyers in Nigeria and in NCNC that were not Igbos, such that they were unworthy to be School Council Chairman in a federal school not owned by the Igbos?

*yawns* you are boring me with your repeated delusions.

Diademk07:
Greed is in the Ibos. You've already admitted it. I would only remind you that it was greed that brought the downfall of Lucifer. God aint foolish, enjoy your karma.

Oduduwa fell from the sky, that's what your history says. At least we know he is one of the fallen angels if not Lucifer himself.
