Truth is, may brilliant minds are in this country, Nairaland even, but the stupidity of politics and ethinicity has washed the necessary vitamins to thrive from their brains!

A different story from Malaysia. What we normally hear of is Nigerians on death row for drug trafficking.

Aiite.. Not to raise tribal or ethnic issues here but on an average northerners are not richer... They only have particular individuals who have a lot of money.. D wealth is not well distributed

Northerners abroad - Religious tourism and Academic excellence

South westerners abroad - Residency and Academic achievement

South easterners abroad - ................................... and death sentencing

In that same Malaysia, some Nigerians have been awarded the 'BEST DRUGS COURIER AND GET RICH ANYHOW' by the Malaysia Anti-Narcotics Agency.
