States with the highest number of professors in this order:

Imo, Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti, Delta and Kwara

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.

vascey:
I don't get excited by these stats anymore. South in the front, North behind. North gets more funding and attention as indigent area thereby making things easier for them.

They have been tagged indigent and backward since day 1 in this country. It is a status they are enjoying along with the extra allocations that come with it. Yet after all these years, they are still backward.

Where is the money going to?

Lol.
Oshogbo,the famous town with brown roofs.
Two dayz ago,AIT news visited Ode-irele in ondo state where a sttrange disease is wreackinng havoc. The first thing i could observe wia da brown roofs dat dotted the entire place coupled with the dilapidated buildings.

manchy7531:
but seriously, their is something mysterious about this tribe called igbos. i just dont understand their ways. atimes i begin to wonder if it is a gift or its just their way or their is a spirit driving them. i just dont know.


Being igbo alone is a blessing

Funnicator:
Bwahahaha haha is that Osinbajo with his parents in the bush?

Lalasticlala front page abeg. Kai. All the former reports about ekiti state and yoruba must be updated and shown to the world.

KevinDein:
looooool
still doesn't change the fact that south east is a hell hole and nobody wanna live there.
I wouldnt be caught death living in that erosion ridden jungle...even if placed on a salary.

Twistaray:


Yet your Igbos tribe are everywhere including oshogbo.
Why not stay back/put at your alaigbo paradise?
Must you Igbos beat your chest ni?
What has your level of education got to do with your success as individuals or group of people?

Yeye fellas

Ilekeh:
Nigerians need to start asking for source of Nigerian stats, how data was collected and its validity.

KevinDein:
all these goodies in the south east yet they hate the place and can't wait to abandon it at the slightest opportunity.
I don't buy that...

Funnicator:
ekiti WAS the fountain of knowledge. Yoruba people are not as educated as they claim. Evident in the Oba ' s speech supporting genocide.

yeye. For say it favoured SW this yeye thing no go talk pim

vivalavida:


We igbo's dont need their fucking presidency. We will continually top them in every angle of human endeavour. The believe in institutionalized development. The igbo man develops his community without govt aid. We have community devt meetings in every city we find ourselves. We dont just sit,fold our hands and wait for govt to come and alleviate our problems.
I LOVE IGBO'S AND I AM PROUD TO BE ONE

DaGC:
I have always been fascinated by the Igbo tribe. Their resilience, resourcefulness, drive, culture, togetherness(no matter where they are even in far away China, they always have 1 union where they meet regularly to address issues facing them, that Unity is admirable). Saw a British documentary about the Biafra war and the British High commissioner said the Igbos are the 'Jews' of Africa and some other tribes being jealous of them was inevitable. Till today, its still purely evident, yet they strive more and more. I admire the Igbo nation.

#Respect!!!

Ilekeh:


If it favored the SW, you'd be the biggest objector.

Sources aren't valid. Until Nigerian researchers can begin to tell us their methods, procedures and data collection/analysis, their data is not valid.

This is Nigeria.

KevinDein:
looll
all these stats to me are bull shhiit. your region the south east is crap. little wonder y'all hate it....and no one outside there really like it

hamaworld:

Interesting! One has to give it to the igbos. Who knows they might even be responsible for the noticeable improvement in other regions.
However, the truth remains that the achievements recorded in the south east are generally due to individual efforts...there are little known govt plans towards addressing those issues - especially water and health. The story of course is the same in other regions. I single out the east because it tops in every aspect.

Funny how pips in places like Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Abia etc are having better access to drinking water, sanitation (of course no surprises here, laughs) and literacy rate than our almighty Lagos. Thanks at least Fashola is working on water. Sometimes one can't help but wonder how Lagos would've been without the Federal presence.

Our state govts really have to start planning and focus on delivering on their plans. Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Cross River, Rivers are trying in these area.
