O gbo.

Pojomojo:
I seriously doubt it especially now that many are getting dual citizenship.

siofra:
Stellar thread!
Very comprehensive.
Very easy to understand.

opamoses1:

My school mate no japa and he is the owner of one of the companies mentioned on that list where some of those graduates are working for. I.e. moniepoint. So far, he is the most successful person I know on a personal level.

JobAndVacancies:
so what are we using this information for?
Get a life

Pojomojo:
The reason you see Chinese technology in Africa, they learn from the west and come home to make theirs. If not for China, you and I probably wouldn't be using a phone today

Pojomojo:
Aren't you aware that those with Pass are actually the ones ruling us and the First Class and second class then to work for the third class, koko be say be street smart.

olalekan1:
Majority of them are children of the rich who can pay exorbitant school fees of private schools. At these private schools, they have internal arrangements for making their students excel in examinations. After school, their parents sponsor them further to either another private school or abroad. I can bet that there are students that excel just like the ones you have listed here but here in Nigeria struggling, you should be holistic in your sampling. School is no scam truly but higher education may be scam because is not everybody that is destined to further their education up to tertiary institutions, such people are good in something else.

Johncuppa:

Everybody has his competitive advantage.
As you can see, many (if not all) are career people, no politics, no business not in entertainment, ministry or anything that makes one popular as such. In fact, I do not know one name among them.

Having intelligent power in the area of book doesn't mean they will be good administrator, business tycoon, a good footballer, musician or whichever.

I'm happy for them, God bless them wherever they are.

opamoses1:

That's why I laugh at those saying poly graduates are not on the list. Lots of poly graduates I know ended up as business owners with a lot into property development. Some are even billionaires especially those that studies construction related programs like quantity surveying and civil engineering.

Gerrard59:

Sure. I acknowledge that a few days ago here.

I know they don't believe in a God, but God bless the Chinese. They have been of immense benefit to Africans and everyone else in the Global South.

Gerrard59:

The argument by them is that we should not be subsidising other people's medical systems considering we don't have enough funds.

Eriokanmi:
It's good to Japa but look for opportunities there and bring it back home. I graduated, top of my class in my time, also japad to school in America. I came back with opportunities and they keep adding up. Strive to be independent else, you'd end up building some else's empire and fortune with your precious time. A lot of members here are enjoying some of those benefits I brought home without noticing. I read of the most-recent one here, of which somebody posted a review and I smiled. If you want to japa on a schooling level, don't spend all your time schooling cos time waits for no man. As soon as you finish, get a job and grow on it. You fit do your PhD while working. If you wan be like us, search for opportunities and bring it back home.

Doing business in the Nigerian terrain could be tough but it still remains one of the greatest investment destinations in africa today. You can argue with the Chinese and Indians who keep thronging our land while the land owners are busy running away without any assurances of future.

I'm not saying this to support the government of the day. I hate them with passion. They're the reason we're this backward today. Instead of investing in the country they've wilfully destroyed, they're busy investing in Ghana, UAE, Malta, etc. If I say vote them out now, their hungry doggs will attack me as usual.

opamoses1:

This.

When I travelled abroad for my 2nd degree and hear of the big student loan alot of the home students have or were paying back, I start realizing that the only thing I gained from Nigeria was the almost free education I got at OAU. Then my accomodation was 90 naira per year. I think it eventually got increased and school fees went up after I graduated as well, but still very low compared to what alot of people are paying in developed countries.

Gerrard59:

If you see the Indian version eh (where I got the inspiration to create these threads), ALL japa'd! The difference between China and India is that Chinese brilliant students returned after their studies or did not leave. These days, the top Chinese students don't leave China. It is those who could not get high scores but have rich parents who leave for the US, Canada and the UK. Those with above-average brains and small change, but no admission aim at Japan, South Korea and Singapore.

In all, the Chinese aim to return to China after their studies and work experience. Our people and Indians don't do the same.

Gerrard59:

Doing well in life is purely subjective. But all in human and material assessment, these people are well accomplished.

Let's try to fear God in our utterances.

Elidrisy20:
we have them is just that they don't show themselves, there's one Abba auwal of Kano state, who scores 9As in the 80s, they couldn't believe it, they send for him to come Lagos and re-write the exams, he wrote it and got 9As still, but currently he is in US

givedemwotowoto:


Many American politicians are also Ivy League graduates who graduated from the best universities

dominique:
So most of them have japa'd, the brain drain is real. If only our leaders can give an enabling environment to our brilliant minds, they would still be here contributing their quota towards the growth of the country.
