Nigerian Students & Potential Nobel Prize StatiSense ® - Wale Micaiah ©

In this study, we take a look at Career choices among Nigerian Students and the possibility of having another Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka Nigeria only Nobel Prize Winner (Literature – 1986)

About the Nobel Prizes Every year since 1901 the Nobel Prize has been awarded for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and for Peace. The Nobel Prize is an international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank established The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and a cash award.

A definite pointer to the possibility of an individual winning the Nobel prize in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics Sciences is their course of Study whose data can be inferred from the UTME 2011 and 2012 applicants’ choice of careers. Statistics of applicants who made Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics as their first choice would be analyzed, to see if there exist any pattern and possibility of Nigeria having another Nobel Laureate in any of the above fields.

Applicants’ Career Choices in UTME 2011

Applicants’ Career Choices in UTME 2012

Applicants’ Career Choices in UTME 2011 & 2012

From the Data, it can be deduced that:  There is a growing interest in CLEMP  Medicine/Physiology & Economics are the two most sought after among CLEMP  Medicine/Physiology had the least growth rate of 1.25% between 2011 and 2012  There seem to be a huge interest in Physics as it experienced a % growth rate between 2011 and 2012  It is also good to know that less than 5% of Medicine/Physiology applicants are likely to be admitted as the Universities have limited carrying capacity CLEMP – Chemistry, Literature, Economics, Medicine & Physics

The only Nigerian Nobel Prize winner is Professor Wole Soyinka, which he won in years after no Nigerian has come close to wining any of CLEMP, even Peace, for obvious reasons that our institutions are far below their counterparts in other parts of the world as well as poor funding of Education by the Government. Beside Nigeria, other countries in Africa with Nobel Prize winners are Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and South Africa.

Definitely, Nigeria and Nigerians can dream…of someday producing some Nobel Laureate prize winners in Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Medicine/Physiology, Literature and Peace It is like a Dream, may be I will wake up to find out is true!
