He is from Kiagbodo. His father is Izon, his mother is Urhobo from Arhawharien. He has on many occasions stated and accepted his Urhobo heritage.

So what exactly is your problem? Better cane your lane today.

do you think some of the names mentioned in this thread don't have mixed parental heritage?

But they simply gave the paternal side.

But because you're urhobo, you had to shamelessly smuggle that insignificant part into it.

Nairaland cannot redeem what your tribe lacks.

Selling falsehood won't help the yorubas get ahead of others, it will only give them false unexisting glory which will keep them falling further.

Since waec started posting waec stats in nigeria in 2002, SE leads in highest number of higher institution graduates n Secondary school leavers as well, SS comes in second while SW comes in @ a distant third.

The Nigerian state with highest number of professors in nigeria is not a yoruba state as u guys have been selling, it's imo state.

Better wake up on time...

Now you have jumped to waec. Well let me burst your bubble, number of applicants is immaterial to number of the successful applicants. We have the stats we lead in numbers of those admitted into universities. That is what is material.

How old are you?

What's your level of Education?
I'm done arguing with kids.

I should be asking you that question. Does the fact that yorubas received western civilization before others mean that yorubas brought education to Nigerians?
You have not even made a point let alone leaving an argument.

In the world there are 3 powers. These powers God distributed them evenly, that is the way I see it as applied in the Nigerian setting.
I also observed that any attempt to deny a part of its power is being resisted by the region in question.
POLITICAL POWER=NORTH
ACADEMIC POWER=WEST
ECONOMIC POWER=EAST

Please lets hear yours, this is just my observation.

It would be nice to know what all these people did with their knowledge in terms of tangible far reaching positive changes in the society. After all education is not an end in itself but a means of reaching some goals. Majority of these must be just" professors of nose picking" judging from the ignorance and primitive life of their people their education is worthless. It's like saying G.E.J. With a PhD is the most well educated Nigerian Leader (CEO) - and we all know that he is the worst in performance.

You guys can lie for Africa as at 1956 Kodilinye was just an M B., CH.B, medical first degree. Yet you said he was appointed professor in 1952.

Secondly he was an Opthalmic surgeon, ogunlesi was a professor of general medicine. Note the difference!

Throwback:
Can some people ever catch up to greatness?

Omoluabi no be anybody school mate.

Above is the very first professor of anything in Nigeria. A medical doctor by profession.

He was the most senior African on the academic board of University of Ibadan. When it was time for the British to hand over UI to Nigerians, the Igbo dominated NCNC ensured an Igbo Professor Kenneth Dike who was away on sabbatical in the USA was called back to become the vice-principal ahead of his senior Prof Ajose who was more qualified, physically present and interested in the position.

When it was time to also name the Principal, Kenneth Dike was equally chosen ahead of Prof Ajose

It is noteworthy that Dr Akanu Ibiam who was also Igbo, was the Chairman of the University Council.

Prof Kenneth Dike would go ahead to recruit Nigerians into UI, but out of the 108 newly hired, only 3 were Yorubas, and the remaining 108 were from Dike's and Akanu Ibiam's Eastern region.

Prof Ajose resigned and moved to the new Western region established OAU to become its pioneer VC, since the federal government posts was only merited by the Igbos who had partnered with the educationally disadvantaged North. Yet this same Igbos till today continue to bemoan the Northernization policy of Ahmadu Bello, who was Northern Premier. As far as they were concerned, they secured their own Eastern region for Easterners only, they dominated the Federal positions, and the North should have also been made open to their greed.

So when you hear some people wailing about marginalization, they are only longing for a return to an era when merit is to appoint Igbo.

God bless you!

This is what happened in late 50s to early 60s, the Northerners opened their civil service jobs for Igbos; they dominated everywhere without reciprocating this gesture

In the West, Nnamdi Azikiwe was well respected by Yorubas until we realised that every positions that was meant to be occupied by Yorubas in their own land were given to their brothers and sisters from the East.

The funny thing is this, since independence even before independence, Igbos have never allowed any other tribe close to their political arena.

And this is the same people that want to come to your place to enjoy everything you enjoy but ll ensure his own is kept and well protected from you. This is what Sir Ahmadu Bello was saying in that video on YouTube that Igbos want all your properties out of greed but ll never let you have his.

In the world there are 3 powers. These powers God distributed them evenly, that is the way I see it as applied in the Nigerian setting.
I also observed that any attempt to deny a part of its power is being resisted by the region in question.
POLITICAL POWER=NORTH
ACADEMIC POWER=WEST
ECONOMIC POWER=EAST

Please lets hear yours, this is just my observation.

Who told you this? Can you tell me the top three states that rank as best performers in WAEC since 10 years now? Do you know the current number 1 ? You're a racist
