All i see is japa. They are all working in big companies. Later some mugus will say Nigerians abroad are only doing care job

Omoawoke:
At least we produce evidences, even as you hate us ba?
Yoruba blood dey achieve in all ramifications.
Music oo, nollywood, business, tech, book, politics, war heroes, fashion, just name it

Did I say I hate you guys ? As you can see, I said your names also make up majority of the top scorers

obonujoker:
Engineering is actually the most relevant course to study in the world.

Civil
Mechanical
Electrical
Agriculture
Chemical
Safety

The world cannot do without these disciplines.

Even when you study these courses, you'd be happy and glad, even if you don't have a job yet, but there will be fulfillment in you.

You'd always grow and develop in Engineering. You are not limited to one line of thought.

No... Economics is

dominique:
So most of them have japa'd, the brain drain is real. If only our leaders can give an enabling environment to our brilliant minds, they would still be here contributing their quota towards the growth of the country.

It's so unfortunate, no wonder we came back from Paris with 0 medal

EmmyMaestro:
The majority are from the south-south, south-east and the sad-waste. Little or nothing from the north

who tell you not have nothing? We have dangote,atiku,bua,mangal,etc

Majority of them are no longer in Nigeria, I don't blame them this country can waste talent.

They are mostly from Southern Nigeria no wonder the south is doing better. You can't cheat nature.

That is their defense mechanism, to cope with their own reality.

It's good to Japa but look for opportunities there and bring it back home. I graduated, top of my class in my time, also japad to school in America. I came back with opportunities and they keep adding up. Strive to be independent else, you'd end up building someone else's empire and fortune with your precious time. A lot of members here are enjoying some of those benefits I brought home without noticing. I read of the most-recent one here, of which somebody posted a review and I smiled. If you want to japa on a schooling level, don't spend all your time schooling cos time waits for no man. As soon as you finish, get a job and grow on it. You fit do your PhD while working. If you wan be like us, search for opportunities and bring it back home.

Doing business in the Nigerian terrain could be tough but it still remains one of the greatest investment destinations in africa today. You can argue with the Chinese and Indians who keep thronging our land while the land owners are busy running away without any assurances of future.

I'm not saying this to support the government of the day. I hate them with passion. They're the reason we're this backward today. Instead of investing in the country they've wilfully destroyed, they're busy investing in Ghana, UAE, Malta, etc. If I say vote them out now, their hungry doggs will attack me as usual.

If you are smart and young...best to japa. Had 5A1s, 2 Bs...rest is history. Was it tough abroad yes...but all in all, they appreciate and reward excellence..you won't need to always know godfathers. Even my US Professor when I decided to withdraw one semester just so I can afford my rent had a meeting at the Dept and offered me full academic scholarship to cover my final year. Masters - full scholarship.

I am a teacher now, and I love what I do in addition to running my tutoring business and my Naija NGO. I agree Nigeria does put limitations on its people...but if you don't have age, smart or zeal on your side...japa will be a major nightmare than Nigeria.

Officially known as WASSCE, but popularly known as WAEC, the
organising body. It is the exam Nigerian students write to at the end of their secondary school education. It is also written by students in the West African sub-region. One of the major prerequisites for entry into tertiary institutions across the world. For easy understanding, both WAEC and WASSCE will be used interchangeably. For some people, I could not find anything, so it is stated as “nothing was found”. If you know such persons, kindly comment.

This year’s results were released: https://www.nairaland.com/8183859/503275-students-fail-english-maths
My previous study on top UTME aka JAMB scorers between 2013 and 2022. Some of the scholars who were students then have graduated with a First Class: https://www.nairaland.com/7763389/top-jamb-scorers-where-today

1.

Awwnnn...I can see my name there . Thank you

inoki247:
Lol Mostly Private schl student Public School is gone....


And also most of dem derr Parent can afford the Japa fee....

They’ll get scholarship

Gerrard59:
4. The majority were women! Women everywhere!!!! Talk about beauty and brains!! Twale to Nigerian women! I love you all! 23 out of 37 = more than 60%!

5. While Medicine (7) has always been a popular course, engineering (11) and business/economics (9) disciplines overshadowed it. In my previous study, the popularity of Medicine also waned over successive years. However, further research will be needed to solidify this as a fact and to know why. On the other hand, only one person pursued a degree and career path in Law. Another Nairalander, Sreamsense, had this to say about my previous research: “This your research means engineering remains most highly intelligent and brilliant students at JAMB/WAEC level despite dealing with harder subject combinations even a bit higher than that of medicine; many brilliant (first five/six) students you listed here on yearly basis end up studying engineering and related courses like computer and cyber security” Source: https://www.nairaland.com/7763389/top-jamb-scorers-where-today/4#124410579 Again, this study has proven him to be correct.

6. Nigeria has good schools. I say this because one of the reasons we have had a growing proportion of Nigerians relocating, aka japa, is because “they want to secure their children’s education” or as those in the UK peddle “they want to offer their children good education”. Sorry, but from what I have seen so far (this research aside), I dare say it is better you enrol your child in an above average private school in Nigeria than a state school in the UK. The majority of these Nigerians, presumably, can afford an above average private school in Nigeria, but cannot or would find it difficult to do the same for Private or Public Schools in the same UK. So, the belief that the free education the child receives in a state school in the UK is better than the above average private school in Nigeria is falsified. The best schools in the UK are private and public, both of which are expensive for the average immigrant and very selective. For those who might not understand the differences between state, private and public schools in the UK. Here is an excerpt:
“State schools are funded by the government and adhere to the national curriculum. There are no fees, and all children aged 5 to 18 in the UK are entitled to a place at such a school. Private schools, also referred to as independent schools, do not receive money from the government and instead fund themselves through school tuition fees paid for each pupil. The term ‘public school’ can cause some confusion as, outside of the UK, it is used to describe state schools funded by the government. In the UK, public schools are the most prestigious private schools: Eton and Harrow being among some of the most famous examples. All public schools are private schools, but not all private schools are public schools” Source: https://stpetersprep.co.uk/news/what-difference-state-public-private-schools/
In fact, what I will advise these parents in the UK to do is to conduct your research into the top schools to know how many black children born and bred in the UK attend these schools. So, for instance, go to Imperial College, seek to know the background of the black students at undergraduate level. If the majority are directly from Africa and elsewhere but the UK, it means something is not right with the education black children who reside in the country receive. Replicate this study across the other top schools. Focus on Russell Group of Universities (Shey you said you left Nigeria because of your children’s future?) 🙄

7. Again, the church has proven ab initio that it owns and manages the best schools in Nigeria. From my previous research and the picture about the schools with the top WASSCE scores in 2016, the church has shown that they produce the most academically brilliant students in the country. This is the same in the US, especially for Jesuit Colleges. Expectedly, church owned schools in the abroad are significantly more expensive than regular schools and more expensive than fellow private schools. See why I said those in the UK have to think twice about the “free education” their children receive? In fact, to japa folks, if you cannot afford the top secondary schools in the abroad, I implore you to send them to Nigeria, especially at above average secondary schools whose names are shown in my studies. Special shout-out to the Catholic Church and Winners Chapel. The Bishop @ Ota is doing something right! Equally, the reverends are also good at what they do, literally for a living.

8. Covenant University is Nigeria’s top private university, no ifs or buts! I stated the same in my previous research and even mentioned how I predicted its rise.

This is a wonderful thread my brother.

So inspiring.

But none of them have been able to startup their own company where others can work.


This is where we need mentors in Nigeria. I support Japa with my full chest but also remember home. Think of how to bring back your ideas, wealth and experience back to Nigeria to contribute to Nigerian youths growth. Think of a business in your area of study or work to replicate here, believe me it always end in bigger praise for those of us that did


I was looking to see those that have been able to startup their own company but found none, maybe with time sha.


I love this thread, I tap into it for my kids. Your dad didn't carry last and by the special grace of God none of my kids will carry last, instead their names shall ring bells across the world, so help me God

Wow.. Impressive. Education with the right mindset in the right environment will set you high

Outta 37, only 20 attended Nigerian Tertiary Institutions

UI, Unilag, Covenant, NAU, Futo.

Almost half left the country. Omoh.

Kingisibor:
Polytechnic graduates no smell near this list...ooo

Many poly graduates and dropouts are doing far better in life than them.

ednut1:

If you see the Indian version eh (where I got the inspiration to create these threads), ALL japa'd! The difference between China and India is that Chinese brilliant students returned after their studies or did not leave. These days, the top Chinese students don't leave China. It is those who could not get high scores but have rich parents who leave for the US, Canada and the UK. Those with above-average brains and small change, but no admission aim at Japan, South Korea and Singapore.

In all, the Chinese aim to return to China after their studies and work experience. Our people and Indians don't do the same.

What about those that failed the exams, where are they?
Do they rewind and forge ahead?

1x2x3:
Many poly graduates and dropouts are doing far better in life than them.

Doing well in life is purely subjective. But all in human and material assessment, these people are well accomplished.

Let's try to fear God in our utterances.

Osu, what's the meaning of sad West? Bringing your hate and inferiority complex to this educative and informative thread.

No vex, It is the auto correct of my fone

No be today our leaders of tomorrow start to the Japan

[quote author=Gerrard59 post=131566438][/quote]The best brains of Nigeria have escaped from Nigeria leaving the Hausa-Fulani to drink crude oil, propagate their Western education is Haram and sharia criminal laws.

ednut1:

Even with the care jobs. They are doing better than they would have been doing in Nigeria. The country at this point has nothing to offer youths

That is why I am seriously against what Tinubu's government is doing trying so hard to stop Nigerian youths especially those in healthcare profession from migrating abroad to improve their career and lives.


Imagine Tinubu via the Ministry of Health instructed Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to shutdown verification portal for Nigerian Nurses and Midwives just to stop them from traveling abroad to work or study further, is that not wickedness of the highest order?



Please someone need to create a thread on this topic of Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria shutting down their verification portal for Nigerian Nurses and Midwives just to stop them from migrating abroad to work or further their nursing education.



Such thread need to hit the front page as soon as possible, can you work on that?

All I see is brain drain by the super rich countries

Thank you, sir. The thing with living in the abroad, especially in the Anglophone countries (Nigeria is Anglo-speaking), is that one gets too comfortable with life. On the other hand, there have to be consistent policies and reforms by the political elites in the economy of Nigeria. The Chinese did the same. Compared to India, we can see the differences. Another aspect that we don't often mention is the ethnic/political structure of a country. China is homogeneous and it works greatly for them. Maybe Vietnam, but e go hard to see a country replicate what the Chinese did for Mainland China.

You don't have any research on top performing black people in elite UK universities?

Stellar thread!
Very comprehensive.
Very easy to understand.

dominique:
So most of them have japa'd, the brain drain is real. If only our leaders can give an enabling environment to our brilliant minds, they would still be here contributing their quota towards the growth of the country.

If they are really brilliant, then they would know that selfishness is shortchanging their comprehensive socioeconomic success and status among broadly developed whites.

That should make them apply their brilliance to community service, advocacy, politics etc as suggested below.

givedemwotowoto:
We need our best brains in politics as well.

We can’t leave politics to Agbadorian illiterates whose only focus is propaganda, corruption and tribal bigotry
