A
critique
of
Nigerian
academia
is
described
as
"bean
counting",
which
I
understand
is
seen
as
the
practice
of
substituting
number
for
quality
in
assessing
academic
publications,
implying
that
academic
journal
articles,
and,
by
extension,
books,
are
not
weighted
in
relation
to
the
quality/prestige
of
the
journals
in
which
they
are
published
or
the
publishers
who
publish
them,
but
are
simply
counted
in
numerical
terms,
with
ASUU,
the
Academic
Staff
Union
of
Universities,
depicted
as
central
in
protecting
this
status
quo
ensuring
low
performance.
While
recognizing
this
as
important,
particularly
in
the
context
of
the
development
of
the
culture
of
academic
journal
publication
as
developed
in
the
globally
dominant
Western
academy
and
questionable
practices
demonstrated
by
a
number
of
Nigerian
based
journals
across
time,
along
with
the
lack
of
sustainability
evidenced
by
some
of
the
better
academic
journals
based
in
Nigeria
which
developed
an
international
reputation
in
what
may
be
described
as
a
high
point
in
Nigerian
tertiary
education
in
the
60s,
such
as
Odu,
on
philosophy
and
Black
Orpheus,
on
literature
and
art,
I
would
be
wary
of
dismissing
ASUU
or
its
staff
on
such
grounds
beceause
the
conditions
vital
for
developing
a
thriving
culture
of
academic
journal
and
book
publishing
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Western
academy,
which
is
used
as
an
exemplary
point
of
reference
on
the
subject,
might
not
have
existed
in
Nigeria
since
the
social
and
economic
upheavals
recurrent
in
Nigeria
with
and
after
the
Nigerian
Civil
War
of
1967-1970.
