All special groups known for high drive for success.

The Igbo lack an independent nation to bring to life their potentials, without being suffocated by envious vacuous groups in the Babel.
We can easily join that elite league, but we must first free ourselves from the Babel of envious groups.

And as expected, the usual suspects are right here - inverting data for self-serving purposes.

OP - I followed your links are they are fake. Please re-post if you have real evidence. I have lived in every region in this country and I can assure you that its difficult (even for a very observant person like me) to tell who the smartest Nigerian tribe is. Everywhere you go you meet smart and dumb people -its just the way of the world. However, based on earlier civilization you have to give it to the Yorubas, the Binis and the Noks (whose descendants are today's MiddleBelters and Jos Plateau). The Hausas did not achieve much until they were colonized by the Fulas. And the Igbos did not create anything of worth to be mention-able. This is not to say the Hausas and Igbos are not smart people, is just that if they are smarter than these other tribes (Noks, Yoruba and Bini) how come they were less developed at the time? In addition, the SWners have set the pace in almost every single sector in this country. So its difficult for you to argue that you are better than them. The Yorubas have most of the 1st black/African/Nigeria slots in science, academia and tech - so how can you then say you are better?

Finally, I think posts like this are silly and counterproductive. However, since the owner (another non-Igbo Nigerian) of the site allows it I really don't care. As long as it stays ONLINE and does not jeopardize ONE NIGERIA. SHIKENA.

I know it must hurt the rest of the world do not see you as anything

Oh and btw @ Russia is a technology reigns as well as the so called two yoloba Nobel laureates. Lmfaoooo. Woke Soyinka and who else? Even at that, wole Soyinka Nobel award is in literature (aka the ass of Nobel prizes almost equivalent the world peace nobel), in addition despite he's Nobel award, the man does not even register by the rest of the world as father of literature of Africa or even that well known in that department. Yet again, only one holds that title and he's name was Chinua Achebe. Yet again..it wasn't chinua or even igbo that accredited him that title, it was YET AGAIN THE REST Of THE WORLD. As I said, when you're a winner, others toot your horn for you.

West Africa's International Drug Trade-by Prof Ellis...
new bulk trade
The first recorded case of a Nigerian smuggler transporting heroin in bulk is that of Joe Brown Akubueze, who imported some 250 kilograms of heroin from Thailand by sea, packed in water coolers, in December 1993. He was arrested in Nigeria after a tip-off, and sentenced by a court to 115 years in prison, of which he served ten years before being released.97 In retrospect, this was an early indicator of a move towards very large shipments by air and sea, although the classic Nigerian courier trade still remains as strong as ever. From the late 1990s, there were growing reports of ‘very large consignments’ of drugs heading to West Africa ‘by ship or commercial containers’, according to a police officer working for the UN.98 In 2000, Cape Verdean authorities reported the interception of a ship in the Caribbean heading to their country with 2.3 tonnes of cocaine.99 In 2003, a massive cargo of 7.5 tonnes of cocaine was intercepted on a ship enroutetoSpainviaCapeVerdeandSenegal.100 In 2004, six people were arrested in the Ghanaian port-city of Temainpossession of 588kilogramsof cocaine from Colombia via Venezuela.101 This was a particularly notorious case because of the action of a judge who, amazingly, granted bail to the accused, raising suspicions of corrupt...

If you hear that a Nigerian is to hanged or killed for one crime or the other especially drug,be rest assured it will be ratio IGBO :95 - YORUBA:5 95:5

No sane civilised people like America will say a predominantly criminally inclined people like Igbos are brilliant when they don't have anything to show for the claim than swmming in criminality.
THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT IGBOS...


188 AFRICAN AFFAIRS
The lowest level of transportation is the couriers or mules, mostly people in desperate need of money. Couriers recruited by Nigerian barons, via a striker, usually carry a small parcel of drugs on their person, in return for cash payment. There are also freelancers, individuals who try their luck at buying and smuggling drugs on their own. The 21-year old Iwuchukwu Amara Tochi, who was hanged in Singapore on Friday 26 January 2006 after being caught in possession of 727 grams of diamorphine, was one such unfortunate. He was just eighteen at the time of his arrest. He had gone to Asia in the hope of pursuing a career as a professional footballer, but had been recruited as a courier by a fellow Nigerian for a fee of $2,000.89 Of 316 people arrested at Lagos international airport in possession of cocaine or heroin between January 2006 and 5 September 2007, according to a Nigerian police report,90 no less than 69percentwereso-called‘swallowers’, people who had ingested condoms filled with hard drugs. Only 31 percent had packed them in baggage. Of the fifty-five people arrested at the same airport for similar reasons in the third quarter of 2007, most were in their thirties. According to police analysts, this is a vulnerable age because it corresponds to people losing the support of their parents and having to make major life choices. The preferred destination for couriers in recent times is Spain, on account of its relatively lax residence rules. An applicant can get a temporary residence permit after just six months, which makes him or her far less likely to be searched on entry as it is assumed that adequate checks have been made. Thus,betweenJanuary2006and5September2007,outof 273 people arrested in Nigeria on suspicion of exporting drugs, 29 percent were heading for Spain.91 Various attempts have been made to profile Nigerian drug traffickers. There is a general consensus among those who have attempted this that the Nigerian narcotics trade is dominated by Igbo people. The Swiss police are reported to have produced a more exact profile, even down to villages of origin, via an analysis of patterns of arrest. Among Igbos themselves, it is sometimes said that most narcotics traffickers come from one particular Local Government Area. Ninety percent of those arrested are male.92 However, the profiles that are widely used by European, North American and south-east Asian authorities do not appear to include data from the considerable number of Nigerians arrested for drug offences in Saudi Arabia, which may well reveal a different social background. 89.

sikiru-adepoju

Sikiru Adepoju (pronounced Seek-ee-roo Ah-deh-po-joo) is a master of the talking drum and many other Yoruba percussion instruments. Born in Eruwa, Nigeria, Sikiru hails from the traditional lineage of Yoruba talking drummers culturally referred to as Ayan which means “one who has
descended from drummers lineage,” and began playing under the tutelage of his father Chief Ayanleke Adepoju at the age of six. Along with his brothers Saminu and Lasisi, Sikiru accompanied the family’s talking drum ensemble for several years.

After moving to the San Fransico Bay Area in 1985, Sikiru joined the influential and pioneering Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olantunji and his Drums of Passion. This marked a lengthy period of high productivity from Sikiru which saw him recording and performing throughout the world until a year before Olantunji’s death in 2003. During this period he was introduced to Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart, who has called Sikiru “The Mozart of the talking drum,” and employed him on many of his personal projects including the Grammy award winning albumsPlanet Drum (1991) and Global Drum Project (2008).
