But u failed to acknowledge the one destroying the country. It came to elections and u guys opted for olodo as the best
Are you by chance comparing that Agulu fraud to Jagaban? Jagaban that created a master plan which Lagos runs on today while the Agulu fraud only got his people drunk

Those of us that voted for him last year are wiser now. He’s the most divisive politician ever and we will not make the mistake in 2027. We can see through him already

So out of 100 Africans just 5 Nigerians.
Terrible
You have to remember that our very best scientists are in the US and UK doing wonders.

It’s no small feat but we can do better. Only 5 Nigerians in the top 100 list does not speak quite well. We should have like 20 people dominating that top list.

Other universities should buckle up and contribute meaningful things.
There are 54 countries in Africa. Other African countries are doing better economically and are funding education more than Nigeria does. If you find 5 scientists from Nigeria out of 100 from the continent,it is pure hardwork on the part of the individuals because the system rather than supporting them is always frustrating everyone trying to achieve anything in this country.

Exactly, I was expecting their various scientific achievement beside their names. That will be better understood and will encourage others more

Now, this is what we're talking about! The descendants of primitive, forest-dwelling ancestors who boast without substance have nothing to brag about here, as this isn't related to their usual mundane claims. Statements like "Igbo girls are the best," "Igbo men are the richest in the world," "Igbo food is the sweetest," or "Igbo land is the most developed","Igbo boys are hot cakes",etc,are baseless nonsense rooted in inferiority complex and stupidity.

According to this information, there are technically four Nigerian scholars on the list, as the fifth person is not Nigerian. Of these four, three are Yoruba, all from the University of Ibadan, located in Yoruba land! True to form, the Yorubas don't see this as a big deal. In fact, they consider it an underachievement given their God-given potential. As we always say, it's not about making noise or empty boasting—Yorubas were soaring long before some people's ancestors even learned to crawl!

Just because of this information now, you can trust one Chinedu Okoro to hurriedly come up with a useless thread like this: 'Igbo egusi soup is the best in the world!' Yes, they can be that foolish!

I was scrolling down and knew it was just a question of when not if i'd see the usual display of dick-measuring and feelings of inadequacy! It's like you pathetic clowns can't sleep well unless you think you're doing better than the Igbo! The country degenerating into the abyss of despair, penury and hopelessness means absolutely nothing to you so long as you feel you're doing better than the Igbo! This is why i want a separation between Ndigbo and insecure, bigoted animals like you! Ndigbo can never be safe as a people and prosper to the fullest extent of our abilities sharing the same country with your evil ilk! Sadly, a lot of Igbo (and even other ethnicities) don't seem to appreciate the danger and sabotage we face in Nigeria!

You were trying to push the narrative that a Nigerian was dominating SA scientists, even white ones. If i didn't push back you were gonna get away with it and become a fact. Typical story of Nigerians 🇳🇬👎🏾.

Just one thing to celebrate amid the existential circumstances, and one slowpoke, wannahowzit, with the global highest index of inferiority complex, from South Africa, decided to make the thread totally dreary and unamusing until everyone left the fool to his ordained destiny of idiocy. Life's funny anyway, you'll be surprised some people have no life, they just exist to mismanage the O2 concentration in the atmosphere.

Anyway, Bongani Majoyi would be 3rd in Nigeria (despite inferior Bantu education)🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆
You are shameless. Nigeria has got more on that list than the few black South Africans there. What are the black South Africans doing with their lives since?

We can also say there are those contributing skull mining.

Only four Nigerians in the list of top 100 African scientist. Which is a deplorable result, considering our size.

But because 3 of those four were from your tribe, it's something to celebrate?

So, you don't mind being in a shithole, as long as you're king of the sewers...

No, sire. You don't understand. Nigerian universities are extremely underfunded that you begin to wonder how these even manage to be there in the first place. Also, if you ever happen to participate or understand how quality scientific experiment and researches are conducted and expensive, then you'll know these people try with these feat. And given UI and ABU are some of those that get the most funds from FG, then it's not a fallacy to expect others doing well too if they get equally funded.

That said, despite UI and ABU being of the most funded, Nigerian universities are still poorly funded. You'll be riding high on horses expecting plenty quality researches.

HE BEATS EVEN YOUR WHITE FOLKS.

https://www.adscientificindex.com/top-100-scientist/?university=University+of+South+Africa

Also, South Africa has had universities since the 1880s while Nigeria's first university was established in 1960.
That’s not true. Fourah Bay College was founded in 1827 in Sierra Leone to educate the OKU PEOPLE who were Yorubas. This is where Yoruba folks get their leads in Education.

I love your submission and fair, balance way of arguments, laced with logical facts.

The only I issue I have with your posts is that you were too quick to rain insults. That is not cool and that can prompt a forward thinking person to tag you as a bitter, inferiority complex fellow
Well done with the analysis once more.
I am proud of University of South Africa (Pretoria), they are indeed pace setters, as a Nigerian, my ranking goes to them as the number one in Africa, without prejudice with respect to my rating.

I would wager more would have come from Nigeria if black Africa did not directly or indirectly have anything to do with determining who should be on any such list.

Nigeria and Nigerians will always be short-changed in anything to do with pan Africa.

Pleasantly surprised that the most ranked scientist in the world is from South Korea and not from the usual suspects of USA, UK, China or Canada. My respect was deepened for both South Korea and Spain which has two Scientists each in the first 5 in the world.
