A nice post... but number 20 is debatable.
What is the source of the info on the
number of professors in Nigeria?

The bullet points ought to have been
written in small letters and NOT all
capital letters which in Internet etiquette
means YOU are shouting.

Last but not least, Brig. Gen. Godwin
Alabi-Isama's mum is a Yoruba from
Ilorin in Kwara State and his late father
was from what is now Delta State. He
speaks Yoruba language fluently
since he is much closer to his
maternal roots just like Mr. Fola Arthur-Worrey whose mum is from Lagos Island
and his British-born father is from
originally from Ughelli in Delta State.
Fola Arthur-Worrey took over from
Prof. Oluyemi Osinbajo as the Attorney
General of Lagos State.
