That EKITI has the highest number of professors doesn't mean they have the highest number of educated indigenous that have at least bsc degree

Economically endowed and popular states like Kano and Kaduna are still not able to listed as most educated states. The reason for this backwardness of the Northerners on education is because of the multi population in this areas.

Educational attainment in the country can go a long way to addressing the development of our local communities. This notion was also stressed by Cinda Klickna, President of the Illinois Education Association in a quote, “Every community can attract and retain quality workers, build an economic engine, and increase productivity, but these all rely on a strong focus on education.”

With the country having an ever-increasing population, there is a need to get more than half-educated, so as not to also increase the rate of illiteracy.

So, if you look at the statistics of education in Nigeria, you will see that the state of the plateau is the northernmost

Search. This is the official ranking of this year. EKITI has too many professors in families. Not the highest BSc holders. Again only fewer people are becoming professors there now. Remember you must be a lecturer or a researcher in a university in order to become a professor. Their older generation achieved this. But it did not positively affect the younger generation to follow in their footsteps.

Hello,
I am a Black American living in Atlanta,Georgia. I desire to relocate to Nigeria, specifically Enugu State where I plan to attend college there as well as humbly learn the indigenous culture. I want to unlearn the western values that myself and several millions have been indoctrinated with here in the Americas. I want to fluently speak Igbo, Marry an Igbo woman, and have several Igbo children; Since I was a young child. I have always been enamored with the continent of Africa. I have always said. I will marry a woman from Africa and re-establish my family there and become a wealthy man of the highest morals, ethics, and values. It is of my opinion that the children of the people who were taken from the motherland should return to remarry back into the fold. Thus, creating wealth for all of us together as one. I am only mentioning the Americas since several Igbo and Yoruba people were sent to the Americas as evident through genetic testing and colonial documents detailing how the Igbo people rebelled against the european colonist on several occasions. Not to mention, I have relatives who did genetic testing and found out recently that they have majority Nigerian ancestry within them. I honestly cannot pin point exactly which ethnic group just yet. I can only guess that it is Igbo because my Great x4 grandfather who came to the present day United States was from either Carolina or Virginia. I have read Igbo people came to the Virginia,Carolina, and Georgia coasts right around the time he was born. With all of that said, I want to attend the very best school. I like to be challenged. I have been looking at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, University of Lagos, and Lagos State University. If anyone has any information about these universities and the process of international students attending, Please let me know. I will major in Physics just so anyone is curious.
