Except you mean traditional education.

BuddahMonk: what i know is that Ekiti is Ekiti and Ondo is Ondo
When you get to your Yoruba enclave you will start dissecting and slicing them but am not a Yoruba so i care less about the subs and dialects that abound in the respective states...to me States count, carpish

Na u sabi. I no go break ur head to put book inside.

It is true.

What does it profit a man to gather degree certificates without good roads, no potable water, no power supply and other essential infrastructural developments? Such education is a waste!

You got me cracking.

Imo state and not Ekiti has the highest number of professors in Nigeria.Ekiti is number 4

Can sb tell me what ekiti professors have done for Nigeria or what they are known for.

Soludo we know, emeagwali we know, Achebe we know, Akunyili, etc.
What's with yorubas and professors without content and impact?

See a slowpoke's reasoning......so in your warped view, they dashed them "professorship" title devoid of carrying out research and making a meaningful contribution?

see dis devil.

JANK23H: Lie from the pit of hell.I lived in Ekiti for a year and they are educationally backward.In the SW I think Oyo and Ogun states are far ahead. Compare Ekiti with the north.

you are blind...pronto

@Sandijey - You are so very correct! The first thing is "se o kawe? Iwe melo lo ka?" And we also tend to speak English like there's hot yam in our mouth (I don't though. lol). I think the issue of "Fountain of Knowledge" which project, & reflects on, the image of the Ekiti people as education-freaks has to do with the high number of Ekiti people who are into academics (Awon professors professors). The quality, in the state, has been on the decline though, but that's a Nigerian sickness. Have a great week!

Sam Aluko, Niyi Osundare, Osuntokun, Ade Ajayi, et al. Google is ya buddy! Kachifo!

sandijey: Apart from the fact that my mum is ekiti. In every family, I mean every family that I no, there is at least one professor. Its no joke. In my mum's family there are 2. One is I'm Yankee the other one is in ife or so. It's a pride for u to have a professor in ur family.

Secondly, ekiti people and education is just crazy sometimes I feel it makes them act like they know everything " over sabi ". I have been there so I no what am talking about. You see one very old woman in the village who can speak English a bit. I mean all those old looking women that look like witches. Most of them finished secondary school and got married in those days. They couldn't further because of money.

[b]Thirdly I noticed that ekiti people do not see money as anything. [/b]When u go to ado for Christmas, ud see proffesors and lecturers who come from abroad on holidays, most of their houses are bungalows. Drive one ordinary car. They speak very deep yoruba English. They don't have any foreign accent at all. They speak like there is hot yam in their mouth but they are just dam intelligent. The first thing they use to rate anybody is " se o lo school or se o kawe" meaning that did u go to school?.



You need to go there and interact wiv them before u can talk. They are politically conscious, strong willed and very very stubborn. The person that mentioned ogun state, you can say all those other states are easily recognisable or seen because of their nature. Ekiti people are not loud. they are just very normal people just don't find their trouble.

Who invented stomach infrastructure?

I was think Anambra State have the highest.

who the hell are these?
U see what am saying?

its a Yoruba thing to do.
Where are the impacts aside mere lecturing?
Sb told me their seniors give them already done research works, is that true?

If It's true, who then smokes those marijuana that they produce, because they boast of been fountain of marijuana too

thwarrior72: If It's true, who then smokes those marijuana that they produce, because they boast of been fountain of marijuana too

r u guys really serious about d marijuana production in that state?

Evergreen123:

U see what am saying?

Yeah, I see. You are ignorant of a lot of things, Evergreen. Lolz

I served in Ado Ekiti.

That was the lies they told us.

Their market women don't understand, " Good morning ".

Ekiti state should change their slogan to " fountain of rice" coz that's how cheap there are.
U guyz can keep on ranting here
Anambra and Imo are always top of the list according to WAEC & JAMB for the past 30 years.

Ghost01: Sam Aluko, Niyi Osundare, Osuntokun, Ade Ajayi, et al. Google is ya buddy! Kachifo!

no one knows the these people except from few yorubas, I guess I have heard of sam aluko only(I don't even know him pictorially).

chinazaekperem2: no one knows the these people except from few yorubas, I guess I have heard of sam aluko only(I don't even know him pictorially).

RENOWNED professors like the
first Nigerian professor in the field
of Mathematics, Adegoke
Olubunmo is from ekiti .......
...........................
My point is, Does this adegboke guy have more impact in maths than 'DR' Chike Obi, even in the international community? no.
The epitome of maths in Nigeria is Chike obi.
Professors without content and impact dey too much for that side.

chinazaekperem2: no one knows the these people except from few yorubas, I guess I have heard of sam aluko only(I don't even know him pictorially).

Hypocrisy don finish una. I gotta give it to you though, you are funny!

100Cents: I served in Ado Ekiti.

The octogenerians who go to the market to sell goods not, altogether, worth more than N200 cos they want to maintain the tradition of how they were brought up or who? And the least you should've done was learn how to say "Ekaaro!" I served in Obubra, Cross River State, and I know how to say "Good Morning" in Mbembe. It's the whole point of NYSC...

Please what did soludo, emeagwali and akunyili do for Nigeria? Two of them were political appointees, one is an intellectual fraud, what is their achievement?

I can't believe you just asked this question

Ekiti has good population of professors.

What did they do for Nigeria? Simple question. Chest beaters.

its only yorubas and sahara reporters that cant stomach he won Gordon prize in super computing, haters.
akunyili and soludo had impacts even before appointment.
Asking what soludo achieved for CBN and what akunyilu did for nafdac is naive of u.
These are sound technocrats, internationally known, which technocrat u get? none.

ilugun1: What did they do for Nigeria? Simple question. Chest beaters.

U know the answer .
Yorubas don't have content. in igboland, u can't even pass masters not to talk of PhD.
Professor indeed.
Imo state has it now to start with.

there is no excuse for not knowing what good morning is.
Yoruba education is too substandard biko.
