Southwest Nigeria:the Most Educated, Industrial Hub & Richest Region In Nigeria by mrkunlex(m): 2:07pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
South Western Nigeria with a Land Mass of 76,852 square kilometres and population of 25.2 million today owns and/or control 65% of the nation’s industrial capacity, 67% of banking assets, 67% of insurance assets and is house to the nation’s three deep sea ports of Apapa, Tin Can Island and Roro; the busiest international airport of Ikeja, three thermal stations of Egbin, Papalanto and Omotosho. Its three major industrial estates of Agbara, Ikeja and Otta are all linked to gas under the West African gas pipeline plan and piping of gas is ongoing from Otta to Abeokuta. Added to these, the South Western population today is the most educated as western education came through there and education as a resource was democratized since the early sixties. Geographical location, democratization of western education, availability of resources enhanced in last 9 years and some empowerment during the over the last ten years have collectively enabled the South Western economy to rank as first of the four economies in Nigeria. The South West as a region can boast of having a defined growing middle class and is perceived to have at least 250,000 of its indigenes with net worth of over N100m each. Take it out of Nigeria, the South West economy with is defined growing middle class and resources, will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world. |

mrkunlex: Arrant nonsense including the caption of the misguided thread. What qualifies the region as most educated? Has the region led in anything academics recently? The region's position in JAMB is totally ridiculous. 1 Like |

alphacyborg: when did ability to speak english become a standard of measuring civility or when did inability to speak or understand english translate to illiteracy? |
Re: Southwest Nigeria:the Most Educated, Industrial Hub & Richest Region In Nigeria by DarkLover: 7:19pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
@Op there are many threads like this already with some many arguments for or against, what's your aim with this? @alphacyborg, the ability or inability to speak English isn't a yardstick for anything, I personally would prefer my mother's tongue over any other language, even if you don't understand it, I'll still try to coerced into understanding it. There are many illiterate English speakers here in Nigeria. Be proud of your language always. |

Yoruba Unarguably one of the most educated tribes in Nigeria and even thought to be the most learned by some people. The Yorubas are indeed educated and you will agree with me that they deserve a position among the top 3. It had also been said that this ethnic group have the highest number of professors. Aside this, many of the top management position in companies are been headed by the Yorubas. One would argue that this was as a result of them been the first to be open to western education. Well, whatever may be the case, the Yorubas are one of the most educated tribes in Nigeria. Igbo This tribe is synonymous with one thing- Business! Business is their thing and they are found in all the crannies of the country. It had been said that any place you come and can’t find an Igbo man then relocate, nothing good is there. However, aside business, this people also have a flare for education and are one of the most educated tribes in the country. ALSO READ Full Details on The Salary of Nigerian Army Officers Hausa Hausa… what? Did I hear you scream? What on earth is this tribe doing on this list? Well, brother or sister, you need to have a rethink as this tribe is educated just like any other tribe in the country. However, because of their numbers, high popularion and culture, a lot of them are left out but for the ones into it, they have proven their tribe is not a back sitter in academic issue. I don’t want to start mentioning names just as I purposely didn’t mention in the ones above but I tell you this, The Hausa speaking tribe is one of the most educated in the country. Edo Talking of civilization, the Edo tribe is one of the most civilized tribes in the country due to the high rate of their illegal migration to overseas and other reasons. However, someone can claim to be civilized but not educated. The Edo people are civilized and educated and can be said to be one of the most educated people in the country. Urhobo This is the first tribe from the Niger Delta region that made it to the list. You can’t away education from this people. This tribe has a domineering nature in Delta state and this even includes in the area of education. Go there and see each family name their own professional. Itsekiri The Itsekiri people are also from the Niger Delta Region just like the Urhobos. This tribe is also one of the most educated in the country. If a man is not educated here and he has the means, his children will! ALSO READ Uber Nigeria Contact Address: Book Uber Taxi Ijaw I have avoided calling names all this while, permit me to say your former president is an Ijaw man. This people are schooled just as other Niger Deltans and are one of the top 10 most educated tribe in the country. Calabar While we do not see the Calabar people as educated, they actually are! Forget their funny intonation and how Nollywood portray them, they are educated. Isoko This is a minority tribe from the Niger Delta region that may not be well known but are actually educated and made it to our list of top 10 most educated tribes in Nigeria. Ibibio This tribe also hail from the Niger Delta region and are also educated. Just like I stated earlier, this list is not in any particular order and also not based on any scientific approach. At its best, it can be termed subjective but then, there’s room for you to also have your say by letting us know your own top 10 most educated tribe in Nigeria using the comment box below. |
