How do you know Buhari is a scam president? He hasn't been sworn in yet. It's one thing to have little confidence in his abilities to lead (just like I do) and it another to outrightly call him a scam.

Don't be an Internet noisemaker, when was any past leader in this country "stoned"? Stop making empty threats.

I work in NUC and I can tell u that pressid is purely on merit.I have seen students from ABU who are of northern extraction that bagged the award but majority are southwest,southeast etc.the purpose of the scheme is to sort out the best brains and trained them in the best schools abroad who will in turn return back to Nigeria to impact their knowledge for the social economic progress of the country.mind u,its targeted for specific areas of discipline.if merrit. Were to be jettisoned in favour of quota system,then I can tell u that the aim of Pressid is already defeated.

It is your father and mother that are foools

wadetaw202:
And there is no stagnant water in alaigbo? Oh, I forgot....I forgot that igboland is landlocked. That is why igbos have turned ragos to their rondon.

wadetaw202:
Is that the reason for low water supply also? In an attempt to cover up a deficiency, you end up exposing your incontinence. I guess river Niger has been sprayed with insecticide; so, they don't breed mosquito.

Noneroone:
moreover most homes in the east have mosquito nets at the window. But in South West states like oshun, ibadam ogun etc, once they put a makeshift window in their mud houses, they are good to go . Therefore they need to hustle for free treated net more than easterners to make up.

Rexxie:
of course,and am 100% in support...but what i mean in essence is that the fed govt,especially now that 'they' are there,are gonna employ and introduce and implement strident and anti south policies and reforms that wud be kinda detrimental to da south and favorable and encouraging to da north...do u know about the proposed and almost force 5% derivation fund for the reconstruction of the boko haram damaged north 'they' requsted for at the 2014 national confab?! The nigerian agro industral sector made great and giant strides of late and that was basically due to the fact that a southerner was heading the ministry for the 1st time in many years,a position exclusively held by 'them'. Am talking about such n such...

wadetaw202:
Except in environmental sustainability. In that aspect, the SE has lower water supply and lower sanitation. Check the post again to confirm. Also, fewer of your children sleep under mosquito net.

Download am sharp sharp before them revisionists come tommorow and tell you how Oshogbo is most developed city in Africa.

manchy7531:
how come northern slaves have deserted this thread..i guess it stabbed their education and developmental ego. it doesn't favour them.

eya, some will refuse to eat amala today

Ib0t0t0deysmell:
. And is that the reason why your Heebo borthers were blaming the Yorubas because Jonathan's PDP government refused to build you a seaport?

pazienza:
All these paper stats. Well, atleast this one favours Ndiigbo, so I will accept it.*grins*

Let's not get carried away by this stat. Let's continue doing the good things we have been doing, before you go about buying expensive cars and throwing parties, don't forget to help in the University education of that brilliant and working kinsman/sibling/ relative of yours.

Don't forget forget to contribute in that community health centre your community is about building, don't forget to procure that class room seats and textbooks you promised the principal and headmaster/mistress of your community secondary and primary school .

Don't forget to bring out out that outlet from your personal borehole, where other members of your community can get free portable water.

If you are abroad, keep working harder to remit more money home, to enable your siblings in Nigeria get the best education available and establish better businesses, leading to improved standard of living.

If you are trader hustling in the market, you wanted to school but no money, so you ended up trader. Please hustle harder to make sure your siblings get educated.

You have an industry outside our region, please endeavour to open a branch here, or relocate, our Youths need all the employment opportunities they can get.

Let's continue doing the right things we have been doing. Onye aghana Nwanne ya! Igbo kwezuonuo!

States with the highest number of professors in this order:

Imo, Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti, Delta and Kwara




READ BELOW:

Facts can never be hidden. To be first does not mean you would win the race; let us open up all our institutions and may the best man win. Let us not depend on handouts or privileges but on heard work. Let us compete and give the best positions to our brightest – be it Ibo, Yourba or Fulani, and then we shall see who is the most successful Nigerian.

I find it difficult not to respond to some of these long-held lies that are constantly being peddled by Yorubas. One is that the Yoruba have the largest number of professors in the country. I would again ask that we stick to facts and statistical records.

The Nigerian Universities Commission has a record of the state with the largest number of professors on their records and as at 2010 that state is Imo State followed by Ondo State and then Anambra State; the next state is Ekiti and then Delta before Kwara State. I am sure you Yorubas are surprised. When you sit in the South-West do not think others are sleeping but I wish to address another historical fact and that is who were the first Nigerians to receive Western education. It is important that these issues be examined in their historical context and evidence through research be presented for all to examine.

I have continued my research for as the great sociologist and father of modern sociology – Emile Durkheim – put it, the definition of a situation is real in its consequence . What this simply means is that one must never allow a perceived falsehood to become one’s reality and by extension individuals who accept a defined position act as though the situation is real and apply themselves in that narrowly defined perspective.

Why is this important to state it is because for long the Yoruba have peddled lies that have almost become accepted as the truth by other Nigerians but it is important that we lay down the facts for others to examine and come to their own conclusion for facts are facts. Let’s go back to education. Historically, Western education resulted as a product of indigenous ethnic groups interacting with the whites through trade. The dominant groups sold slaves, ivory gold and a host of other products to their European counterparts in exchange for finished goods – wine, tobacco, mirrors, etc.

What this means is simple:these 3 regions now gonna hit da brakes economically,socially,'infrastructurally',...etc,for the ever retrogressive and backward (inspite of da huge and lopsided allocations) north to catch up...pity
southern nigeria wudda've long been liberated and emancipated but for those godforsaken betraying and never_learning_from_history amalas..

seeker121:
cross fingers dey look how some easterners go dey sing praise but take it or you leave it Yoruba is the most educated and most sophisticated tribe.If you are in doubts check our dailies and see the name of most reporters and columnist,besides Ekiti still remain "fountain of knowledge" with highest number of professors in Nigeria.

CaptainOjemba:
Even without being president or vice president we are still soaring higher, its only an Igbo man that remembers his brothers when he makes his money, he remember them by building roads,building church, equiping schools,giving scholarship (remember the Igwe of my town awarding university scholarship while growing up)


Do not let the Igboness in you die cos oof hatred of some barbarians

chmod777:
the hidden truths. see BBC education statistics, see bearuea of federal statistics. SE is way ahead in education and GDP but other regions are decieving themselves. mindset beclouds reasoning and denies facts.

hansad:
Soon, and very soon, Southwest and Northwest shall start to be placed on the same category - forget the razzmatazz and glitter of Lagos.

In politics, they are one already - in religion, well well .... soon
