With due respect,the percentage of Igbos that went to school is very low compred with their huge population,they prefare learning a trade/market than going to school.Thats the truth,i dont mean to spite any tribe.

This is why I decided not to answer you straight, I want you to lift your lazy fingers and do little research online to know what is happening in your environment.
Prolly your among the sophisticated people that still live in the past by thinking our ancestors were ahead so no need for us to compete anymore.
Our dad was the first to buy BnW TV so no need for us his kids to buy colored telly, our ancestors were the first to build a story mud house so no need we children trying to use cement any more.


Igbos don't go to school because you believe that every trader in the street is an illiterate.

I won't dignify you with response because I know you have already had biased view of the Igbos so no need to flog a dead Horse.

Akpa amu

You are getting it all wrong,Educated Igbo traders are few compared with those that had no education.Why do you hate to hear the truth.

...which Anambra?I only know of one in Nigeria.If it's the same,you're wrong...

What is education and how do you know who is educated

What's the noise all about for God sake, must you guys chest beat on everything?

We are not chestbeating, we are trying to set the record straight because envious and poor states like Osun with her Osundefender online one naira blog is trying to tarnish the image of great Omanbalas

Omotolu:

It doesn't pay to be deaf dumb n blind, why do you think a beggarly and run down mud apparition is trying to tarnish the image of Anambra with her useless online newspaper, Osun that is dead, insolvent and collapse is channeling all her energy in try to throw mud at Omanbala while the village mud cesspit of ritualists den of a state is overriden with debts.
Very soon commercial banks will come and look up that mud apparition you called state because the account is red and nowhere to run to.

Tell Osun and her defender to back off from Omabalas or we will tell Obiano to come and demolish the state and use the muds there to fill our gully spots.

We are talking about formal education here,which is classroom based(schools). and not an informal setting.

Education is relative, head or tail Igbos still lead.

Igbod have dominated Nigeri education scene for more than two decades, you can believe what your told about being the most sophisticated so no need for anybody to overtake you.

Do a little research in education in Nigeria and see who is leading the pack, Igbos are no longer competing with you zulus, south south have overtaking you long time ago while you still leave in your foools paradise of we are the most.

Whether formal or informal education, you cannt spar Igbos because ours is back up with statistics from credible bodies like WAEC, NECO, NBS, JAMB, MDG, APRM, Unity School, Kings College while yours is by makebelieve of Osundefender, SaharaReporter, Ogun Vanguard, and retrospective analysis beclouded by emotion and tribalism
