Congratulations to her. Although, the first thing I did after seeing the post was to search for her on researchgate and I must say she deserves the elevation based on her profile.



However, the question now is that would she had been elevated if she without being a first lady?

Ekiti professors! The most ridiculous in the whole country. Southwest has made that revered position a mere joke. As them her line of research now or local and international publications that warrant such branding they will start foaming in the mouth. No wonder no one takes their professorship seriously. All they want to brag is: we have the highest number of professors in Nigeria. Imagine this woman sitting among Soyinka, Irueweka, Ashiegbu, and Ogbulogo as professors. Tueeh!
The best professor in your entire region is not fit enough to lace the shoes of the worst Prof. from southwest. You pigs always like to put your frustrations and hatred on everything. This is a woman that had been a lecturer in the University that ranked the first in Nigeria for Postgraduate studies and Researches even before her husband became a governor, yet you wrote those rubbish just because she got her well deserved promotion. Why are you people so barbaric? Go and check, the few reputable professors from your region got their PhD from southwest universities.

Dont talk trash. She is full time on ground. That is my department and university. She supervised 2 of my course mate thesis.
Kaa4:
Is it by number of years now? Something is obviously wrong here. Firstly, it's being due two years back. Secondly, is she at work presently? Thirdly, a subtle blackmail for professorship.

Professor should be made on the basis academic output which should in some form of service so recognised.

This charade should stop.

Being the First Lady is a qualification?

Journalists can be sensational in their reporting. She has been a senior Lecturer for years with adequate publications for the position. it's the usual practice to backdate promotion to professorial cadre to the date a Prima facie case was established. Congratulations to her.

On Google Scholar she has 91 publications, 407 citations, H-index of 10 and i10-index of 10 which should be more than enough to be promoted to a full professor. As a neutral academic I can say she deserves her appointment.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. First,anyone in academics knows it is standard practice to backdate professorial and associate professorial promotions. All a reasonable person needs to do is to look at her academic contributions. Check scopus and reseachgate, they are there for everyone to see and understand. 86 publications, over 200 thousand reads and 186 citation. This is more than enough to earn professorship anywhere in the world but your intelectual lazziness will not even allow you take a few minutes to find out before talking about what you know nothing about.

You are are always qick to project your twisted minds unto everything. No sense of objectivity whatsoever. Just because if you were in her position, you will influence things and try to earn what you dont deserve doesnt mean everyone does.

I am a doctor in academics and I know what it means to achieve those numbers. it is sheer hardwork!She has been an academic all her life and now she is firstlady but you want to use her being firstlady to discredit her academic work? what sort of people are you guys? Come to think that you guys shout day and night baout your leaders when you aren't any better? what a shame indeed.

Her promotion to the rank of associate professor maybe unconnected to her current status as the first lady of Ekiti state and it maybe but promotion can be backdated.

I am sorry but what do you do? can you read and write? you just showed her academic page with over 80 publications and you are still asking if an academic of over 80 publications whould have become associate professor if she wasnt firstlady? what is wrong with you people? Her acahievements are more than enough to earn professorship anywhere in the world. Why has politics, cheating, corruption so crowded your thought process?

I can roughly say education in Nigeria na scam.

It is based on connection and what you have to offer.
Shut up! This woman taught me as far back as 2006 in EKSU during my pre-degree days, EKSU was known as UNAD then. And she was a Doctor (PhD) already. I'm even surprised that she hasn't gotten her professorship.

I knew when she crossed to UI, and I accosted her once when walking around the faculty of education in UI during my masters.

Though beautiful and young then, she is a veteran educationist. It wasn't until her husband became the governor and I heard that the governor's wife is an academia that I went to check who she was because I was curious, since I knew I had a female lecturer with the surname Oyebanji, and true to my suspicion, she is the one, the governor's wife!

So when ignorant people talk, it's to the dismay of those who have the original story. I am a witness like many others so stop bragging nonsense.

Even after you put up her achievements in the field of research which justify her promotion, you still went on to ask a very contradictory question.

In some schools in Nigeria, you need just about 50 published articles in any SCOPUS journals to be given full professorship. UI is more or less the toughest University in Nigeria for you to be promoted to Professorial cadre

Yoruba would say, "Eni ti tie bati jona, yio ma wa eniyan kun'ra ni".

Oga, learn how to celebrate others, if you want to make head way in life.

That's federal university and not Ekiti university, if it's state uni, you would wail, now federal university you are weeping.
If she dnt go to school,you will complain, now promoted to prof, yet you are crying.

Congratulations to the First Lady of Ekiti State.

The truth is that the most difficult and time consuming part of academics is the Ph.D because its' research & attendance based.

You need to be a brilliant person to earn a Ph.D.

Attaining Professorship is based on several considerations including politics !

A body of Professors in your field and the school assess the students academic contribution, your membership of relevant academic association, the number of Ph.D students you supervise, the feedback from your supervisor and most importantly how well you "manage relationship" with the awarding institutions (Politics).

For those who commented above it is as a result of politics, yes it's a factor and also your competence and academic achievements too. " Every human is a political animal".

Pastor Enoch Adeboye - General Overseer of RCCG was also awarded Professorship in UNILAG based on his contribution to both academic work and the society.

Congratulations, Mrs. Oyebanji (Ph.D) !
Nice post. However, there's a point of correction, if I may. Adeboye only established a Professorial Chair and had a PhD from Unilag, but he isn't a Professor.

Cheers.

Oga professor,check your bolded. I guess, that's type of grammar "blunders" professors are speaking in your own region, the region that is producing quality professors ooo.

Please go back and register for NECO, if you aren't capable of coming out successful in WAEC.
