This is a true reflection and confession on the standard of ‘publish or perish’ syndrome in Nigeria. Yes, published works must come from genuine innovative and creative scholars who have something intellectually motivative and worthwhile to share with colleagues, students and society at large. In short, l mean generative ideas. 
 Experience has shown within academic circles in Nigeria that there many of such researchers. 
I think failure on the part of senior colleagues to strictly adhere to the standard set for promotion in the university system is the problem. That is why they have the expression, ‘there are professors and there are Professors’ class distinctions. 
Nigeria governments at Federal and States levels to put quality education on the front burners by providing enabling environment with reasonable remunerations to enhance good quality research materials for productive society.
