LOL you don't get it, Anambra has the highest JAMB test scores in the entire nation! So what does your painted desk really mean? Imo has a number of jamb applicants that's double the next closest Yoruba state. It's great that Edo and APC states have focused on making school presentable, but schools in igbo land focus of competition between students, and displaying achievement and talent. When the governor visits the best students present their skills, they compete for this honor, and so when it's time to take a test they maintain the attitude of competition. Everyone wants to be the best, desk, bare floor or mansion, it doesn't matter the terrain.

Because of our own philosophy, my own village has 4 polytechnics, all build by private individuals and town unions. One village. Anambra is no different. and NO igbo parent is trying to take their kids to public school. It's a disgrace because the quality of education is inferior. Most igbo children go to church owned or business owned private schools.

Igbos have a different philosophy in governing

Omo_Tier1:

Again, you easterners are wallowing in self deceit. Whilst others are investing in heavily in education, you lots are busy playing ethnic cards and money bag politics.

Peter Obi spent 7years plus as governor in Anambra, yet He can not boast of a decent school in Anambra. Go to Edo State, the enrolment of kids in schools has increased because now parents are able to send their children to schools that can competite with the private ones in facilities and teachers.

Edo State is not there yet but we are matching on, and we will regain the glory that made Bendelites the symbol of academic excellence. Those who are old enough would remember Ambrose Ali viz Awolowo's revive education.

Stop deceiving yourself about this nonsensical Igbo philosophy of governance. There is no such, all you have your leaders are visionless, spineless and are only there to feed fat on you!

A governor is suppose to have build several schools, hospital, water works, good roads, has failed, unable to account for the money and you are here telling us rubbish philosophy!

If this is the philosophy you people want to rule nigeria presidency with then you better stick to your villages.

FYI, and go check this out, Edo State has the highest number of institutions of higher learning in Nigeria #FACTS FEW KNOW.

MajeMedia: Ndigbo have had a long and turbulent history with taxes, and they're seen as culturally unjust due to the republican nature of our culture. Thus governments that plan on staying implement low taxes. If Igbos were pro-tax, Nigeria may still be a colony (Aba Woman's riots, attacks and rejection of warrant chiefs etc)

If you notice developments in Igboland are more republican and in yoruba land they're more socialist. For example, Where a yoruba governor will implement a busing system run by the state, and igbo governor will buy buses (most often cars) and give it to private citizens to employ themselves (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi).

Yoruba governors are keen to building schools and managing them. Igbo governors are keen to building schools and hand them to private hands or back to churches (Abia, Anambra)

Some governments in igboland have even privatized radical elements of government. Rochas Okorocha has sold all government enterprises, and has pressured universities to fund themselves by starting their own palm plantations. Anambra and Abia have handed the states schools back to churches and missionaries that build them


Poverty is not as stark in igboland as it is in Yoruba land. Most people can sustain themselves and earn an income. You won't see beggars. Thus the government doesn't need to maintain an expensive welfare state. The state's with the most poverty in Igbo land, Ebonyi and Enugu, as a result have to use more government intervention and thus per capita their IGR is higher because the government does more. Anambra, government or not, will function the exact same way because it's highly republican and entrepreneurial. Abia even more so.



So the end result is the IGR of igbo state can be low and tax policy low to encourage entrepreneurship and do so. The Igbo populace don't like the idea of tax, credit and debt. The igbo states thus have low taxes, don't borrow (except with the mismanagement of Rochas Okorocha who is considered a radical element), and have the lowest debts in the country.







Both methods work, but they're just different philosophies of how to govern and the beauty of federalism is it allows the country to be a laboratory of ideas and different methods. Let the best man win, the competition is healthy, but it's unfair to us IGR to measure economic strength. We all know Ebonyi isn't economically stronger than Anambra so it's a fallacy. If Igbos began using debt to prove wealth they would be the richest, and Lagos the poorest.

Omo_Tier1:
FYI, I do not live in Benin, that is my homeland, and you are an immigrant. The fact that you are living in another's place as an immigrant is an indication that your place is no good for you.

Unlike your Anambra government, Edo State government has a functional and ever updated website and these you can see the roads that tax payers have constructed through visionary leadership.

I dare you again, show me one road Obi has constructed that you can compare to the Fuga or Igarra ossosso road Oshiomhole has constructed. Show me one road from Anambra has good as the one Oshiomhole is constructing that cuts across over 200 villages in Orhiowhon in Edo State, including Abudu.

Like I said, We have not arrived yet but are making good progress and that is why we will never again allow bad leadership in Edo State, and you lots can glory in your corruption and worship your looters.

ChinoElects:


Which infrastructure did they build in yorobarland?

agbameta:







Now, that was built by Fashola in less than 3 years while your forefathers begged and you and your current isi ewu governors are still begging for the same bridge they've been begging for 30 years and counting..


And when you come back with another village nonsense, make sure you do with something in your village to stand next to this bridge..

sincerenigerian:


Did the op make up the fact or CBN made it up? You Ibos can spin anything.............

superstar1:

Ewu, your so called source is more authentic and verifiable than Cbn. I wonder the kind of schools you go to in SE - all those glorified secondary schools you are calling universities.

How can NBS stas be more authentic than CBN? E gba wa o

^^^Far be it from me to rain on your parade, but that bridge was not 'built by Fashola' as you put it! It was built by Lagos tax payers of which includes Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Annang, Itsakiri, Urhobo, etc-etc-etc.........just saying!

superstar1:

People are talking and a deluded Igbo is saying he is got an idea.

the fear of APC will lead to your untimely death or how does APC come into this discussion. If i pick on the school you attended and the hollow heads yanmiri lecturers that examined you and felt this empty head is worthy in learning, they will start whining as usual.

MajeMedia: You guys started this thread to insult igbos. The end result was you felt insulted and are now trying, with anything possible, to desperately bring Igbos down, which is sad. I only wanted to participate in this thread if it was a constructive debate about culture of governance but I see it's nothing but an igbo lynch mobb.

You're here trying to tell us that Oshiomole cares more about his state or people than Obi less than a week from when Oshiomole was telling an impoverished widow to go and die.

what do you think JAMB is measuring? Sperm count?

MajeMedia:
LOL so now igbos speak more pidgin than yorubas? After Warri who is the champion of pidgin in Nigeria?
You're going to now tell me that Igbos aren't writers?


[img]http://farafinabooks.files./2010/08/chima.jpg[/img]

Ayekotoo:
so having high scores in JAMB makes ones to be educated and literates? This is according to Igbo logic! despite, a lot of examination malpractices in that part of Nigeria? I said all tertiary schools in the state of ogun are more than all tertiary schools in southeast, what does that tell you?

ifechez:

The world over knows Chimamanda, but who is toad fool of oil soup?

Ayekotoo:
so yorubas speak pidgin than the igbos? which planet are you? most of the good Igbo writers were taught by the yoruba teachers and lecturers. you failed to ask chinua achebe before he died. you can still ask some Igbo posters here on nairaland suchas Obinoscopy, Eziachi, CFCfan, Berem, Afam4eva et all if they will be truthful to tell you.
