And did you read well? But you said you are a professional engineer. Where did i say they were university. Don't you know different between instition and university? I tell you, south west already had 3 institutions before south get get one. Doctors, lawyers, engineers and many others have been produced in those schools before any institution in South East. The institutions are
The federal school of surveying founded in 1908
Yaba college of technology founded in 1932
University college Ibadan founded in 1947.
I didn't say they were university but those are the first 3 institutions in the country.
UNN was named a university before UI and it is just a space of less than 2years.

NuclearBomber:


Go away joor. Stop talking crap. Yaba college was university of ibadan, who are you telling crap. Even at that, when did a college become a university. A college is an advanced secondary school.

flokii:
When did education get to the East?

How old is the UNN sef to start with? When the likes of YABATECH, UNI OF IFE (OAU) and co. have been in existence.

Nnsuka my foot

Chai. you are so helpless that your lies are being busted. List of SW lies that have been busted on nairaland

yorubas are most educated in nigeria = Busted lie (all statistics show SE is first and SS is second, leading SW)
sw is most developed in nigeria = Busted lie (except lagos, all SW is crap- osun, ibadan, ogbomosho, okitipupa, ekiti, ilorin, etc)
yorubas are most sophisticated = Busted lie (sophisticated/educated people voted a previously known bigoted illiterate in 2015 as presido)
yorubas leading the professions = busted lie ( anambra has the highest SAN's, Imo has highest Profs, Anambra has highest Entrepreneurs, etc)
Yorubas are first to get western education = Busted lie (Equiano Olaudah is proof)
Yorubas have many firsts = Busted lie (Igbos have more firsts than yorubas)

And many more.

NuclearBomber:


Igbos were educated abroad even if there were no institutions in SE. Yabatech, OAU have been in existence as what? As colleges, advanced secondary schools that did not award degrees. Go and sleep abeg.

SW had institutions before SE and igbo profs led Yabatech and UI. Dont make me angry.

As a professional engineer you should understand the collegiate system that exist in British university system. If graduates of university of Ibadan were awarded a London/UK certificate and now you say it wasn't a university then what are you reconstructing it to become? Oxford university has many colleges and UCL was a university college and awarded it's graduates certificates.
I want to give you an assignment, just show me the photos of Enugu, Nsukka or even just anywhere in Nigeria in 1948 and tell the number of graduates from each ethnic group across Nigeria as at then.
Better go back to school to learn.

common sense bro is not always common..question is wat is d first nigerian uni? and ur answer is?

NuclearBomber:


UI was first founded as a offshore college of the University of London. Am not debating that. But UCI was not a fully fledged Uni. It was not run by Nigerians, not owned by Nigeria, could not award degrees, had no senate, no vice chancellor, etc. It was not a uni by all standards. Please accept the truth that while UCI was the first college, it was not the first uni.

Cinkq:

My previous post says UI was already awarding degrees for decades before UNN became operational, that's an exageration.
But i beg you to check the history of UI before you continue with this arguement.
The history of the school says first medical students were fully admited before Nigeria got independent, and the first batch graduating in 1960, thesame year UNN became operational.
Fact is that, the school was alredy awarding degrees before UNN started recruiting students.
UI is the oldest and the best University in Nigeria.

Don't mind them. They are helpless when caught. UI calls itself- Pioneer university, Premier university, number 1 university- and all sorts of names. Its all founded on decades of lies, its really sad. Nigeria is really sick as a nation. I was shocked yesterday when I stumbled on this info and the UNN seems not interested in challenging the decades of lies. Thank God for the internet.

unohbethel:
in other words, unn is really the 1st university in nigeria not uni ibadan rite?

Strikethem:
Why won't she call herself pioneer when she has produced many graduate. Even when UNN was given a name university, what graduate did she produced before UI was named University.

Strikethem:
UNN was given the name then, in less than 2years, UI was also given but UNN never had any graduate then. I know UNN was first university but not first institution.

NuclearBomber:


Thanks for admitting UNN as first uni. But your first institutions in SW needed igbo vice chancellors.

NuclearBomber:
For the avoidance of doubt, the University College Ibadan was actually a part of university of london. Its was of the colleges of that uni. Thus the true rankings of both Unis is:

University of London, Ibadan = First (foreign) university in Nigeria.
University of Nigeria, Nsukka = First Nigerian university.

This is the TRUTH and is FIXED.

dunkem21:
My Alma mater, the great University of Nigeria is not interested in the challenge of lies..

We also busted the lies that UI has the highest professors in Nigeria..

We know we are the first and will be strategically releasing info on the media to exert our full authority..


THE DIGNITY OF MAN MUST BE RESTORED!

Strikethem:
So you know UN is the first university in Nigeria, though not the first Nigerian university. But the first university in Nigerian soil.

Who is the one? the First university in Nigeria is the University of London. Or does Awolowo own the University of London. Go away joor.

Another busted lie...

University of Ibadan is first uni in nigeria = Busted lie ( University of London is first uni in Nigeria and UNN is Nigeria's first uni.).

So it is azikwe that own UNN right?
